Water Controversies, Part 1: Organic Minerals, Alkaline Water, Distilled Water and Health

'We know that water is of great importance. The surface of the earth and our bodies are made up of approximately 72% water.

Although water appears to be a very simple element — H20 — a lot of confusion and hype exists in the field of natural health when it comes to what kind of water to drink.

For example, you may at some point ask yourself:

How much water do I really need?

What is the best kind of water to drink?'

The Healing Miracle of Water

'Water is an element that we are very familiar with because it is found in nearly every place on Earth and is also a part of us. According to certain researchers, our bodies and planet Earth are made of roughly 70 percent water. Even though we are very familiar with water, most of us have little clue of what water truly is.

In school we are taught that water is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O). We are also taught that water has a very unique characteristic that allows it to transform itself into three different states of matter, which are liquid, solid and gas. These definitions of water are accurate but they are missing some very essential information about some of the most important roles of water.'

Health Benefits of Simple Lemon Water

'Many of us already know the benefits of drinking plenty of water and proper hydration, but with the simple addition of fresh lemon juice you may have yourself a very healing beverage.


I recommend that many of my patients begin each day...first thing in the morning...before any other food or drink with a glass of lemon water. Why lemon water you may ask?


The benefits are remarkable:


•After a nights sleep the lemon water provides an ideal flush to the body's systems...digestive, circulatory and elimination.


•The lemon juice in particular is a great cleanser and purifier of blood, liver and kidney's.'

Effect of Your pH on the Development and Growth of Cancer

'The human body's entire metabolic process depends on one critical factor – the pH of the plasma fluids. The pH scale is very simple. The lower the readings on the pH scale are acidic and the higher readings are more alkaline. Through homeostasis, the body maintains a healthy plasma pH of 7.4. Although the pH of the body will fluctuate with meals, exercise, stress, hormones and sleep, a healthy and balanced saliva pH should be between 7.0 to 7.5.


A simple principle to apply concerning health and disease is that a low pH creates an environment conducive to disease and a higher, alkaline pH promotes health.'

EU Fascists Ban Claim That Water Can Prevent Dehydration

'EU officials concluded that, following a three-year investigation, there was no evidence to prove the previously undisputed fact. Producers of bottled water are now forbidden by law from making the claim and will face a two-year jail sentence if they defy the edict, which comes into force in the UK next month. Last night, critics claimed the EU was at odds with both science and common sense.

Conservative MEP Roger Helmer said: “This is stupidity writ large. “The euro is burning, the EU is falling apart and yet here they are: highly-paid, highly-pensioned officials worrying about the obvious qualities of water and trying to deny us the right to say what is patently true. “If ever there were an episode which demonstrates the folly of the great European project then this is it.”'

Alkalinity & pH

Alkalinity is important because it protects
or buffers against rapid pH changes.

'Alkalinity and pH are related to each other in ways that are obvious, and in other ways that are subtle. The idea that alkalinity is separate from pH (which is by ‘coincidence’ called either acid or alkaline) is a myth though pH and alkalinity are two different measurable parameters of water. Even though the pH can be very high we find that un-mineralized water has little ability to neutralize acid in the stomach to initiate the production of bicarbonate in the bloodstream.'

Alkalinity is a measure of the buffering capacity of
water – its ability to resist sudden changes in pH.
pH is a measure of how acidic or basic water is.

The Case Against Drinking 6-8 Glasses of Water a Day

 

'Of course, water is essential for your survival. Every day, your body loses water through urine and sweat. This fluid needs to be replenished, for while you can survive for months without food, without water you wouldn't last more than a few days. If you get the fluid/water replacement issue right, then you have made one of the most important and powerful steps you can in taking control of your health.'


'But just how much water do you need to drink to replenish what you've lost? The truth is, your body is equipped with a mechanism that tells you when you need to replenish your water supply, and there's a simple way to gauge whether or not you need to drink more water even though you may not be feeling thirsty.'
