Dr. Robert O Young has a new version of the PH Miracle book available at Amazon or other book stores now. This is a brief book review of both the new and old PH Miracle books.
First of all, I’d like to encourage you to buy this book (one or the other), as it is worthy of your attention. Do you need both books? In my opinion, no. They are very, very similar to each other.
There are three main differences between the new and old versions of the PH Miracle books.
The new PH Miracle book has a whole section about ionized water and the value of owning and using a water ionizer as part of his PH Miracle plan and advice. The old book emphasized the use of clean [filtered] water, but he at the time was encouraging people to purify the water [i.e., with reverse osmosis] and he later realized the error of over-purification along with the value of water ionization in his research with patients, and so changed that section of the book.
The new PH Miracle book has more recipes.
The price for the new version of the PH Miracle is over two times higher than the old version of the PH Miracle book.
Dr. Robert O Young has done a great job [with both PH Miracle books] communicating about all kinds of foods and their effects on the body. He discusses the following topics in depth and in a way that is understandable to the lay-person:
Blood, and its relation to analyzing the health of a person and their diet.
Oils [saturated fats, trans fats, poly-unsaturated fats, etc.]…this is a very important topic.
Proteins [in particular vegetable proteins are explained and encouraged over meat proteins, also fresh, wild, cold-water fish are encouraged over other types of fish or meats]: these are discussed in scientific terms, but with emphasis on debunking some of the old myths about protein. I don’t think most people realize all of the nutritionally rich pH-friendly protein that’s available in vegetables. [We have all been told that we get our protein from meat, nuts, poultry and fish.] Dr. Young does a good job explaining all the protein potential of vegetables.] He also discusses topics such as nuts vs. seeds, giving the reader some new insights.
Carbohydrates are addressed as a matter of course, but while I agree whole-heartedly with discouraging sucrose and refined sugars and flour, Dr. Young also discourages fruit. His reasoning is geared toward alleviation of fungi in the body, and his reasoning is explained in the book, but not well developed in my opinion.
Weight Loss is more specifically addressed in his PH Miracle for Weight Loss book, but I think most people who read and understand what Dr. Young has to offer in the regular PH Miracle book [old or new version] will be likely to have an easier time of losing weight.
Disease in general and specifically is of course discussed with attention to all of the topics above.
After over 16 years of drinking alkaline ionized water, I can say with conviction that the very best thing I could give to myself or a loved one is a WATER IONIZER! Give yourself and your family the gift of health this year!

An alkaline body is more conducive to health and well-being than an acidic one. Too low of a blood or interstitial fluid pH can lead to a variety of negative health effects. An acidic body has a greater risk for infections from bacteria, yeast, parasites, and viruses. Micro-organisms seek out and thrive in an acid environment.
Testing your body’s pH is one way you can assess how good [or not] your body’s chances are that it will remain healthy and disease-free. It’s kind of like testing the water in a fish tank. If the pH is off, you know you need to correct it, and there are steps, as a fish-owner, you can then take to restore the necessary pH balance that the fish need the water to be. Anyone who’s ever had an aquarium can also tell you that if you ignore pH, never test the water, and never adjust the pH to be the right range for the fish, they will most assuredly become diseased and die.
Health experts and researchers are becoming more and more knowledgeable and vocal about the fact that disease will surely come about if we allow our bodies to become too acidic.
“The saliva pH of the non-deficient and healthy person is in the 7.5 to 7.1 slightly alkaline range. The range from 6.5 which is weakly acidic to 4.5 which is strongly acidic represents states from mildly deficient to strongly deficient, respectively. Most children are dark blue, a pH of 7.5. Over half of adults are green-yellow, a pH of 6.5 or lower, reflecting the calcium deficiency of aging and lifestyle defects. Cancer patients are usually a bright yellow, a pH of 4.5, especially when terminal.”…The Calcium Factor: The Scientific Secret of Health and Youth, Carl J. Reich, M.D., Gilliland Printing Inc., Arkansas City, Kansas, 1996.
Cancer, for instance, thrives in an acidic environment.
Our bodies simply cannot fight disease if our body pH balance is compromised. Not only are you more susceptible to infections such as colds and the flu but also degenerative diseases are promoted if your body pH is acidic.
Much of the disease we see associated with aging is simply an inability to properly oxygenate the cells, hydrogenate the cells, or get rid of the acid wastes produced by the cells. Then the cells start dying and our body’s environment becomes a hay-day for the microorganisms associated with decay.
How would testing your body pH help you?
It always helps to know things, like what’s going on in your body. When you are trying to lose weight, it helps to get on a scale once in a while. It’s easy and gives you data about your progress toward your goal. Testing your saliva or body pH is as easy as getting on a scale. Therefore, pH paper should be kept handy and used regularly to ensure your body pH is what it should be.
Staying healthy requires a tight regulation of your body pH. Testing your saliva or urine pH, is alligned to the blood pH, and is an indication of either health or disease. To prevent disease you will need to get & maintain your body pH in the alkaline range. PH testing of your saliva and/or urine will help you obtain a good insight into the overall pH balance of your body. If the saliva or urine pH test comes up low, then you know you need to get serious about doing more to alkalize your body quickly.
The pH of saliva offers a window through which you can see the overall pH balance in your body.
Saliva pH is slightly more acidic than the blood pH [usually], but it is closely aligned with the pH of blood and interstitial fluids [fluids around the cells].
Optimal pH for saliva is above 7 pH. A reading consistently lower than 6.8 is indicative of possible insufficient alkaline reserves. After eating, the saliva pH should rise to 7.8 or higher. Unless this occurs, the body has alkaline mineral deficiencies ( mainly Calcium and Magnesium ) and will not assimilate food very well. To deviate from ideal salivary pH for an extended time invites illness. If your saliva stays between 6.8 and 7.2 pH all day, your body is functioning within a healthy range. If the early morning salivary pH remains above 6.8, people usually see many of their problems disappearing.
There is a great preventative value to doing some serious testing of your saliva pH. I recommend testing your saliva pH at three intervals during the day [first thing when you wake up, in the afternoon, and in the evening] for a few days in a row. If your body is stably where it needs to be pH-wise, then I would recommend doing a routine pH check-up at least every 6 months [just to be safe]. If your body is too acidic, then establish a plan to balance your pH-levels [see advice below] and re-test your saliva pH weekly to check your progress toward your goals.
How to Test your Saliva pH
Make sure to test your saliva at a time when you haven’t eaten or drunk anything for a while. Also, anticipation of food [smells] can cause enzymes to be released into your saliva which may change the pH of it. So, try to get a saliva sample that is as uninfluenced by food or drink as you can. First thing when you wake up in the morning is usually a good time. Also before meals is better than after them.
To perform this test, you will need a roll of testing pH paper (preferably pHydrion test paper), a plastic spoon and some fresh saliva. The test uses a pH-sensitive, color-coded test strip to reveal your body pH balance status. For the saliva test: – Be sure not to eat, drink, or brush your teeth for 30 minutes prior to the test – Swallow a couple of times to clear the mouth and stimulate new saliva – Then discharge some saliva into a PLASTIC spoon (it is recommended NOT to touch the pH paper to your tongue due to the chemicals in the paper.
Tear off a 1/4 inch strip of pH paper, place into saliva and compare the color of your immersed pH paper with the color chart provided on the pH testing roll. The lower your pH value below 7.0, the greater your degree of acid stress. Continue testing and recording your pH for a few weeks – first thing in the morning, afternoon and at bedtime (This will show your body pH trend).
Here is a video demonstration of me testing my body pH.
Here are some general guidelines for judging your saliva pH test results:
A young, healthy child will read at 7.0 – 7.5
A healthy adult will read at 6.8 – 7.4
An adult may not have any apparant illness at 6.8, but is starting to become deficient.
Mildly deficient 6.5 [There will probably be some starting signs of illness, allergy, arthritis or disease.]
Severely deficient and diseased 4.5 [Most likely has cancer.]
Testing Your Urinary pH
The pH of the urine indicates how the body is working to maintain the proper pH of the blood. The urine reveals the alkaline building (anabolic) and acid tearing down (catabolic) cycles. The pH of urine indicates the efforts of the body via the kidneys, adrenals, lungs and gonads to regulate body pH balance through the buffer salts and hormones. Urine can provide a fairly accurate picture of body chemistry, because the kidneys filter out the buffer salts of pH regulation and provide values based on what the body is eliminating. Urine pH can vary from around 4.5 to 9.0 for its extremes, but the ideal range is 6.5 to 7.0> Urinary pH tends to be lower in the morning and higher in the evening.
The pH of the urine can vary widely. The pH of urine is also affected by the biochemicals that the body is eliminating. These include biochemicals such as excess minerals, vitamins, and products of metabolism and also include drugs and toxins being eliminated by the body.
The pH of the urine is not as affected by digestive enzymes as salivary pH. However, the pH of the urine can be affected by:
preservatives you eat
pollutants you breathe
stress you encounter
the food you eat
how much water you drink
the amount of pathogens in your system
how much rest you receive
all the biochemical activities going on in your body.
What can you do if you find your saliva or urine pH is too acidic?
If your body is too acidic, take action!
My first recommendation is for you to get yourself a water ionizer. I honestly, and truly have never experienced a better preventative measure for the health of myself or my family. What a simplicity my life became when we bought our first water ionizer back in 1993. I used to go to the health food store, medical library or book store regularly seeking out answers to my questions related to how to heal this or that [ailment] naturally. I was a definite natural healing enthusiast [and still am], but the difference now is that I don’t [or rarely] ever have anything to heal any more.
How could an alkaline water ionizer help?
Substances which are alkaline contain a higher concentration of OH-. Higher concentrations of OH- help to bring oxygen to your cells and that helps you reverse the aging process.
“When you drink alkaline water, you are drinking water with excess oxygen, not in the form of O2, but in the form of OH- which is very stable because it is mated with positively ionized alkaline minerals. Two of these hydroxyl ions can form a water molecule (H2O) and give out one oxygen atom. The alkaline mineral is used to detoxify poisonous acid compounds and when that happens the hydroxyl ion is freed to supply excess oxygen to the cells.”…Reverse Aging, Sang Whang, 1990, page 51
In addition to drinking ionized water, I would also recommend you start eating more alkaline, in general: eat more salads [raw foods]; consume less saturated fat and more unsaturated fat; probably reduce your protein; take good-quality vitamins/minerals; consume less soft drinks, coffee, processed foods, salt, sugar and refined carbohydrates; I would also suggest you purchase a book about alkalizing your body such as one of the pH Miracle books.
After over 16 years of drinking alkaline ionized water, I can say with conviction that the very best thing I could give to myself or a loved one is a WATER IONIZER! Give yourself and your family the gift of health this year!
Wishing You Water Wellness!

I have been drinking ionized water for 18 years and in that time I’ve learned that…
Getting Sick is NOT Normal!
Considering that such a large percent of your body is water, drinking ionized water instead of junk is completely scientific and logical. I used to think allergies were a “normal” condition, explained by things like genetics or environment, and that colds were due to spreading viruses. However, in the past 16 years, since I’ve been drinking ionized water, I have a complete new understanding of what “normal” is. For me, normal is NEVER being sick…not even a little. NOT EVER having a little symptom. Please believe me… it’s not natural to be sick! Allergies and illness can be looked upon as a sign that change is needed.
More About Me: After being a teacher/principal for almost 25 years, I decided to follow a passion of mine [telling people about water ionizers]. In these past few years of selling water ionizers I’ve done extensive research into how water ionizers work and how to properly test and compare them in an effort to provide accurate and reliable information to my customers. I’ve discovered significant differences among water ionizer quality, and how those differences translate into what one can expect [health-wize] from differing types and models of water ionizers.
My Story in a Nutshell
Sixteen years ago, I, like most people, ate a diet high in fats, meats, dairy, processed & refined food, overcooked food, fast food and soft drinks. I considered myself healthy, based on the fact that I rarely missed a day of work. However I had colds, allergies, and periodic ear or throat infections on a regular basis. I tried to eat fairly healthily [i.e., not too much junk food], especially if I felt an illness coming on and I took vitamins. I considered myself normal, but now I know I know better. I had all the signs of an acidic body, and I was headed for disaster!
What is an Acidic Body?
The fact of acidic wastes getting stuck in our cells is called an acidic body. Most people have one.
Background: PH ranges on a scale of 0-14, with 7 pH being neutral. Blood must maintain a narrow balance of 7.365 pH [which is slightly alkaline] at all times…for survival. The alternative is death. Because of this, the blood will not accept acids from the cells if taking on more acids would jeopardize this life-or-death delicate pH balance. Therefore acids become trapped in fat, cells, organs and joints to protect us from too many acids getting into our blood and killing us. These acids impede the cell functions.
If we can’t clean out the acids from our cells we get sick!
So, what disaster was I headed for back in 1993? Probably cancer, heart disease, or both!
Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Warburg, investigated the metabolism of tumors and the respiration of cells with emphasis on cancer cells. He discovered that cancer is like a fungus, it needs acidity to grow and multiply well, and alkalinity slows it down or stops it. “Cancerous tissues are acidic, whereas healthy tissues are alkaline. Water splits into H+ and OH- ions, if there is an excess of H+, it is acidic; if there is an excess of OH- ions, then it is alkaline.”
Nobel Prize winner, 1998, Louis J. lgnarro found a direct correlation between heart disease and free radical damage inside the blood vessel walls.
The Rest of my Story…What Changed?
Back in 1996 through a series of chance happenings [along with my own curiosity – seeking answers] I stumbled upon a new device, called a water ionizer. A water ionizer is a device which transforms ordinary tap water into two streams of water [acid and alkaline]. For drinking, the alkaline stream of water has been found to be very beneficial to one’s health. It not only helps to alkalize the body [providing a constant supply of pH buffers – so that the cells can give off their wastes], but it also provides the body with a huge amount of natural antioxidants to fight free radicals. After several months of drinking alkaline ionized water my body started to transform. The allergies, post-nasal-drip, congestion, colds, infections….all subsided to a point where I was aware that they were gone after about a year of drinking ionized water. Not only that, but my children and husband, as well, all lost the signs and symptoms of an acidic body to the point where we, as a family, almost never went to the doctor after that. We went from at least 2 visits each to the doctor [for various ailments] per year to NONE [other than well-person check-ups].
What Does Ionized Water do in the Body?
Ionized water bathes our cells in slightly alkaline pH water which not only helps to hydrated them, but even as importantly it helps to draw the acid wastes out of the cells. In addition, water ionizers are to varying degrees capable of adding natural, simple, yet powerful antioxidants into the water. The significance of this is tremendous! Now that we know heart disease [the number-1 killer in the world] is related to free-radical damage inside the blood-vessel walls, the fact of having readily-available free-radical scavengers [i.e., antioxidants] in every sip of water we drink is significant.
Your Cells are Sensitive to the Water you Drink.
I was completely unaware , years ago, of the necessity of cells to have the right water. Now, after all of these years drinking ionized water, I have total certainty about the cell’s reaction to the wrong water and the RIGHT water. It is amazing, but to me, only common sense, the number of ailments that this one, single machine can help prevent or reverse!
Allergies and illness can be looked upon as a sign that change is needed. To learn more about water ionizers, go to my main website http://www.alkalinewaterplus.com study that, and then continue studying this website! I have used every educational tool at my disposal to help you learn all about the subject of water ionizers.
Here are a few Q & A’s about water ionizers that may help you choose the right model for you.
Water ionizers are expensive. Is there any value to getting a dirt-cheap model? No. The fact is water ionizers must have platinum coated titanium electrode plates [which is expensive – platinum is selling for over $1700.00/oz. right now]. There is no proper way of getting around this, and without platinum [no alloys should ever be used] the ionizer is not worth much.
Do you have to spend over $4000. for a water ionizer that will “do it all”? No. Actually, I’ve discovered a few models close to half that price that do better than the $4000. model.
What is the difference between water ionizers? There are lots of differences that you can explore on my Water Ionizer Comparison Page, but I have found that the biggest difference I personally experienced is in the ORP [antioxidant] per unit of pH of that water ionizer. Lower quality water ionizers have less antioxidants and higher quality water ionizers get a greater level of antioxidants.
Low ORP Water Ionizers: When I used an average quality water ionizer [for about 15 years] I got rid of ALMOST all signs of acidity. If ever I had a symptom appear I would just drink more water and it would readily go away.
Mid-Level Water Ionizers: When I upgraded to a mid-level water ionizer I had fewer symptoms ever even occur [but otherwise the same as above].
Superior Water Ionizers: When I upgraded to what I consider a “best quality water ionizer” I stopped having any symptoms occur whatsoever. In addition, some spider veins that had developed slowly over the years [since I turned about 50] disappeared before my very eyes after starting to drink the ionized water from my newest water ionizer, the Jupiter Athena water ionizer.
After over 16 years of drinking alkaline ionized water, I can say with conviction that the very best thing I could give to myself or a loved one is a WATER IONIZER! Give yourself and your family the gift of health this year!

I just talked with an old customer today while he was ordering a filter for his Chanson Violet water ionizer. He told me how happy he was with his water ionizer, he feels so much healthier and he now has normal blood pressure… he is now completely off of his blood pressure medication. According to this customer, ionized water was the sole contributing factor to this improvement in his health.
Hearing my customer say this brings several things to mind.
1. My customer did not have the most expensive or best water ionizer [by far]. This is significant, because many people who sell water ionizers will say how you must spend $4,000 on a water ionizer, or more than the person can afford anyway, in order to get any health benefits. This is clearly not so. I knew this wasn’t so, because I’ve been drinking ionized water for about 18 years and had tremendous benefits from my first water ionizer. It’s true that I’m even getting more health benefits from the water ionizer I have now [for instance I watched my spider veins disappear before my very eyes], but nonetheless my family and I have had life-changing health results long before we purchased a newer, more sophisticated water ionizer.
2. He was measuring his blood pressure frequently, and therefore was experiencing measurable, objective proof of his benefits, not just subjective. Objective proof is important if we, in the US, are going to embrace some new natural method of health care. Many Western doctors [US ones in particular] want to see proof before even implying that any health benefit could be gotten from natural causes. They are not quite tuned into the validity of natural healing — being influenced by drug companies and the status-quo. To me this is actually silly, because it makes all the sense in the world that our eating and lifestyle habits would have a profound, immense impact on our health. It makes no sense whatsoever to eat and drink the way we do in the West, in the first place. But, then to go to the doctor, never be asked about diet or habits, take medication, and possibly even have surgeries, all to fix things that go wrong as a consequence of poor eating or lifestyle habits is, to me, ludicrous.
Are there other objective proofs about blood pressure being helped by water ionizers? Yes, but in doing a search, it’s hard to find a Western doctor’s statement regarding it. A Japanese doctor, head of a hospital in Japan, said this, though, regarding blood pressure and ionized water…
“I have observed the blood pressure slowly drop, due to the water’s solvent ability, which dissolves the cholesterol in the blood vessels.” – Prof. Kuninaka Hironage, Head of Kuninaka Hospital
3. I often get questions from customers as to why we don’t find water ionizers in department stores here in the US. They are found all over in the stores in Asian countries, but not in the US. I’m sure that the reason why has to do with the US medical associations’ lack of validation for methods of health care and healing that are in the category of “natural”. Until this changes, I wouldn’t bet that any time soon we would see mass imports of water ionizers into the US in the numbers that would be required by a department store’s accounting department. It makes sense that without the AMA’s stamp of approval, the profitability would not be high enough, and I suppose the store’s legal department wouldn’t go along with it either.
News Flash! 12-29-2010 …Lo and Behold! No sooner did I post this than I received this testimonial letter from Ronnie Ruiz regarding one of his Jupiter water ionizer customers and how their water reversed his serious high blood pressure issues. He was told he would be on blood pressure pills for the rest of his life! Well, just read the letter…it’s amazing! Here is the letter in full.
It makes sense that ionized water would help a person with anything related to the health of their cells and organs. It’s nice to hear, from actual customers, real-live testimonials like this. I am thankful every day for water ionizers, myself.
After over 16 years of drinking alkaline ionized water, I can say with conviction that the very best present I could give to myself or a loved one is a WATER IONIZER! Even though Christmas is over, give yourself and your family the gift of health this year! And…

Today’s article is written by a friend of mine, Mauris Emeka. Mauris has given me permission to reprint the following article in its entirety. Mauris is a very good author, and I encourage you to really take the time to read what he says here. He hits the nail on the head!
Cancer — a Paradigm Shif
by Mauris Emeka Nov. 2010
Statistics are often presented attempting to show that progress is being made in the battle against cancer. But regardless of how the numbers are presented, the bottom line is that cancer (in all of its forms) is fast overtaking heart related diseases as the number one cause of death in America. One hundred years ago one out of 33 people were diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Today one person out of three will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, and that ratio continues to grow. Cancer is affecting more and more people and at ever younger ages.
The malignant tumor commonly referred to as cancer is in reality an indication of a process within the body that has gone amiss — a malfunctioning process that needs to be halted. Removing the tumor symptom (whether it’s done with surgery or with drugs) does not stop the process that caused the tumor to appear in the first place. In fact, eliminating the tumor is similar to swatting mosquitoes when what is needed is to eliminate the nearby swamp that breeds the mosquitoes. The good news is that, given the right commitment to dietary and lifestyle changes, it is possible to eliminate the ‘swamp’ — e.g., the malfunctioning process that gives rise to cancerous tumors. With cancer it is not enough to merely focus on the effect. Instead, the major concern needs to be on the cause of this disease at the cellular level. To be sure, there needs to be a paradigm shift in the way we think about and respond to cancer.
Consider the following well-researched information as a starting point:
I. Change the environment in your body to make it a lot less acidic and more alkaline. Cancer thrives in an acid environment; and on the other hand your body functions best when its major fluids and most internal organs are slightly alkaline. Remember to drink enough water during the day, and try to drink water that is slightly alkaline.
II. Eat less cooked foods and a lot more live plant-based foods, especially a variety of deeply colored fruits and vegetables. In addition to excellent nutrition they are high in fiber, rich in enzymes that facilitate digestion, and they insure a healthy acid/alkaline pH balance.
III. Make an effort to greatly strengthen the immune system, because it is our primary defense against cancer.
IV. Remember to consume some foods each day that reduce inflammation, because inflammation adversely affects the immune system as well as the acid/alkaline balance in the body. Turmeric spice, aloe vera gel fresh from the aloe leaf, and fermented soy — these are excellent anti-inflammatory foods.
V. Do things that cause more oxygen to be introduced into your body at the cellular level, because cancer cannot thrive where there is an abundance of oxygen. (Dr. Otto Warburg, a German scientist, won the Nobel prize in 1931 for discovering that cancer cells are anaerobic, meaning that they generate energy without the need for oxygen). On the other hand, healthy cells thrive on oxygen, and deep breathing is one way to bring in more oxygen into the body. Also, eat raw green vegetables, and drink fresh squeezed juice from deep green leafy vegetables (like collards, kale, and Swiss chard greens). These greens are rich in chlorophyll, and chlorophyll enhances oxygen circulation.
VI.Cleanse your body. Make a serious effort to detoxify, because it greatly enhances your body’s ability to heal itself. Coffee enemas and ESSIAC tea are especially helpful for internal cleansing. (Tenzing Momo is an herb store in Seattle, WA that sells the herbal ingredients that make up ESSIAC tea).
VII. Take steps to reduce stress. Meditation, prayer, and moderate exercise — all are very helpful.
VIII. Eat primitive, that is, eat a high percentage of raw foods and whole foods. Among other things, this introduces more fiber into the body and insures better bowel regularity (stimulating 3 to 4 movements daily). Otherwise, bowel sluggishness contributes greatly to increased acidic body chemistry.
In closing, it’s time we stop thinking of cancer as some sort of localized disease, like a skinned knee, and thinking that if we detect and destroy a tumor symptom early enough then the problem is solved. It is not enough to merely manage tumor symptoms. We are dealing with a chronic metabolic disease that cries out for a holistic response, to include fundamental changes in our diet and lifestyle. It is very important that we begin taking greater personal responsibility for our health and wellness, and commit to consuming a much higher percentage of unrefined, unprocessed, whole, natural, and plant-based foods.
Mauris Emeka has authored and published 2 books about diet and cancer: “Fear Cancer No More”, copyright 2002; and “Cancer’s Best Medicine”, second edition, copyright 2008. See www.cancernomore.com .
By the way, if you do the things Mauris recommends to help eliminate the threat of cancer, you will also be doing the same right things that will help ward off all the other conditions related to an acidic body: acid reflux, gout, colds/allergies, intestinal disorders, etc.

Doctors, who have tried many things to help their patients, are of course going to observe some good things when they integrate alkaline ionized water into their practice.
Background: What are the healthful uses of the different pH levels of alkaline ionized water?
An 8.5 pH to 9.5 pH alkaline ionized water is the perfect drinking water. It will help to neutralize the acidity of the body and slightly alkalize the body. In addition, the negative ORP [oxidation reduction potential] of these levels of ionized water will provide the body with lots of easily assumable antioxidants.
Purified water at the 5.5 pH acidic level is perfect for neutralizing the skin and hair. It’s used as a hair rinse and skin toner.
Purified water at the pH levels of 5 – 7 pH is great for watering plants. Plants love the purified micro clustered water, and they also love the water to be slightly acidic.
A neutral 7.0 – 8.0 pH purified water is perfect for taking medications.
Two forms of natural, chemical free, cleaning agents can be created using the strongest level of ionization.
Acidic Germicidal Water is at the pH level of 2.5 – 4.
De-greasing and/or stain-removal cleaner is created with the pH levels of 10-11.5
If you are a doctor reading this, I encourage you to get just one water ionizer for yourself to try it.
You owe it to yourself, family and patients to learn about this not-so-new technology of water ionization for yourself. Just the hydrating potential alone is incredible with ionized water! The kind of water varies so greatly around the country, but one thing every municipality has in common is their water is highly treated and the molecules are in large H2O clusters [not as found in nature]. A water ionizer not only offers good filtration of the water but the big thing is it splits open the water cluster, breaking out the antioxidant potential of the micro clustered alkaline ionized water, so you are going to get the most hydrating experience by drinking this water.
I’m writing about several doctors in this article and letting you hear in their own words what they have to say about alkaline ionized water.
Starting with Dr. Ross Anderson, a Naturopathic doctor. Dr. Anderson has created a series of very short videos that he made as an introduction to alkaline ionized water for his patients’ benefit. I think these introductory water ionizer videos might serve other doctors with their patients as well. If you are a doctor reading this post, please consider trying a water ionizer for yourself as Dr. Ross did. Dr. Ross was in a desperate situation when he decided to try a water ionizer. He had cancer. He has beaten his cancer with an alkaline diet, which of course included an alkaline water ionizer.
Another doctor who has made it his business to test and try water ionizers is Prof. Wantanabe Ifao, of Wantanabe Hospital in Japan.
Dr. Wantanabe was working with gynecology patients and had this to say about alkaline ionized water:
“Ionized alkaline antioxidant water improves body constituents and ensures effective healing to many illnesses. The uses of antioxidant water in gynecological patients have proved to be very effective. The main reason for its effectiveness is that this water can neutralize toxins.
When given antioxidant water to pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, the results are most significant. During my long years of servicing the pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, I found that the women with pre-eclamptic toxemia who consumed antioxidant water tend to deliver healthier babies with stronger muscles. A survey report carried out on babies in this group showed intelligence above average.”
Of course Dr. Wantanabe was working in Japan, where the atmosphere for natural healing and treatment of patients is far friendlier than in the US. His findings are impressive to me. I remember having toxemia when I was pregnant. That is a scary thing! Also, the fact that the babies of the mothers who were drinking ionized water were stronger, healthier and smarter is significant to me as a mother. I think lots of mothers would want this information. Who do the new mothers rely on for that information? That’s right…their doctors.
This next set of recommendations for alkaline ionized water is not from a medical or Naturopathic doctor but a VIP nonetheless. His name is Dr. Ray Kurzweil.
Dr. Kruzweil is a contemporary genius who has done so much and invented so much that he’s been awarded 15 honorary doctorates and been personally greeted and congratulated by three US presidents. Why do I bring up a non-health-related doctor? First of all because he’s an obviously smart guy and an opinion leader in many subject areas. He’s the kind of guy who researches, tests, and makes his opinion based on facts, statistics and results. To me this seems natural, but not everyone does this. Most people honestly just turn to experts for advice and go with that. So, here’s what Dr. Kursweil has to say about water ionizers:
There are more benefits to “alkaline water” than simply the alkalinity or pH. The most important feature of alkaline water produced by a water alkalinizer is its oxidation reduction potential (ORP). Water with a high negative ORP is of particular value in its ability to neutralize oxygen free radicals.
Free radicals are among the most damaging molecules in the body and are highly unstable molecules that are oxidizing agents and are electron deficient. They are a principal cause of damage and disease in the body. Oxygen free radicals contribute significantly to a broad variety of harmful conditions in the body ranging from life-threatening conditions such as heart disease, stroke and cancer, to less severe conditions such as sunburns, arthritis, cataracts, and many others. Free radicals MUST get electrons from somewhere and will steal them from whatever molecules are around, including normal, healthy tissues.
Damage to tissues results when free radicals strip these electrons from healthy cells. If the damage goes on unchecked, this will lead to disease. For example, the oxidation of LDL cholesterol particles in arterial walls by free radicals triggers an immune system response that results in atherosclerosis, the principal cause of heart disease. The negative ions in alkaline water from an electrolysis machine are a rich source of electrons that can be donated to these free radicals in the body, neutralizing them and stopping them from damaging healthy tissues. Specifically, these ions have the potential to engage in the chemical reactions necessary to neutralize oxygen free radicals.
Another benefit of drinking alkaline water is that it assists in the absorption of minerals. We know that if the body is not absorbing enough minerals, it will rob minerals from the body’s mineral reserves, chiefly calcium from the bones.
It is well known that many chronic diseases result in excess acidity of the body (metabolic acidosis). We also know that the body tends to become more acidic due to modern dietary habits and lifestyles and the aging process itself. By drinking high negative ORP alkaline water, you combat metabolic acidosis and improve absorption of nutrients.
The blood is carefully buffered to keep it in a narrow range between pH 7.35 to 7.45. The body keeps blood pH stable by utilizing alkaline buffers, chiefly bicarbonate, to neutralize acidic liquids (such as colas, which have a pH as low as 2.5) and other acidic products and byproducts. But as the blood stream receives these acidic substances, the alkaline buffers get used up.
Drinking alkaline water helps reduce the burden on the limited alkaline buffers which are needed for the body’s natural detoxification
Wow, Dr. Kurswall really said a mouthful, but it’s all the basics of what makes ionized water so unique and healthy. It’s not just healthy for you in one way…it’s multiple ways. When you find something this simple that is so effective, it says something. In my eyes the simpler things get the closer to the truth you are.
This next doctor is Dr. Don Colbert, a board certified medical doctor, who has a passion for alternative medicine.
He wrote a book called “The Seven Pillars of Health”, and in it he says:
“I have had countless numbers of patients with painful osteoarthritis on many different medications for arthritis. Many have been pain free within a couple of months after adjusting their urine pH to 7.0 to 7.5 by consuming adequate amounts of alkaline water and alkaline foods. As a result, many are able to go off of their medications.”
Here’s what Prof. Kuwata Keijiroo a Doctor of Medicine in Japan says about his diabetic patients:
“When I was serving in the Fire Insurance Association, I used to examine many diabetic patients. Besides treating them with drugs, I provided them with ionized water. After drinking ionized water for one month, 15 diabetic patients were selected and sent to Tokyo University for further test and observations.
Initially, the more serious patients were a bit apprehensive about the treatment. When the ionized water was consumed for some time, the sugar in the blood and urine ranged from a ratio of 300 mg/l to 2 mg/ dc. There was a time where the patient had undergone 5 to 6 blood tests a day and detected to be within normal range. Results also showed that even 1 1/2 hour after meals, the blood sugar and urine ratio was 100 mg/dc 0 mg/dc. The sugar in the urine has completely disappeared.”
Another doctor, Dr. Emoto, of Japan studied water extensively. Here is what he had to say:
Water that contains a healthy balance of minerals and which is not polluted or contaminated with toxins tends to form a hexagonal shaped crystal when frozen.
Scientist, Dr. Emoto, discovered the relationship between water that forms hexagonal shaped crystals and water which is healthy, natural and unpolluted [as found high up in a mountain spring]. Dr. Emoto studied water from the tap as well as bottled waters, distilled water and other water either polluted or devoid of minerals and found that they didn’t produce beautiful crystals. Instead they produced ugly, disorganized forms when frozen. The picture below is a series of photos Dr. Emoto took of a drop of ionized water from a Jupiter water ionizer as it was being frozen. Why is the crystal shape important? Because this shape is only seen in the healthiest water found at high altitudes in natural springs, such as Hunza water or Lourdes in France. These waters are noted for their healing properties.
We need more US doctors to try and test water ionizers in their own homes and with their patients.
The doctor is one of the best ways to get new health related news out to their patients. Most people do listen to their doctors. I’m afraid that the AMA is not friendly toward natural solutions being used or recommended by board certified doctors, without clear statements made as to the intent, so there may be issues with how this is presented. First of all, a water ionizer is a medical device in Korea and Japan, but is simply not a medical device in the US, and until such time as it is a doctor would need to be careful to state that this water was being recommended as part of a holistic approach to helping the patient regain a healthy state, and it is not intended for curing any particular illness [or something like that]. But if you’re a doctor, chiropractor, Naturopathic doctor, registered nurse, physical therapist, or any other health practitioner and would like to try a water ionizer for yourself, please call me at 1-888-692-5525 and I will make sure you get a good professional discount.

The hundreds of stories I hear, about alkaline ionized water, combined with my own experience of drinking alkaline ionized water for about 18 years, give me a unique perspective on nutrition, health, and dieting. In addition to having so much experience with my favorite nutritional booster [alkaline ionized water] I’ve also spent hundreds of hours of my free time over the years studying nutrition, health and dieting as a science. So, today’s blog is all about my personal thoughts and suggestions for…
Nutrition, Health, and Dieting as it relates to Alkaline Ionized Water.
Keep in mind that I’m not providing you with medical advice, just plain common sense as seen through my experienced eyes.
1st Piece of Advice: Drink Alkaline Ionized Water!
2nd Piece of Advice: Use Moderation
Moderation is important for both nutrition and dieting. I have a stable nutritional rule that works real well for me, and I’ll share that with you.
If it tastes so good “you can’t only eat just one” then stay away from it.
[Background: I might be dating myself, but remember that old "Lays Potato Chips" ad? The one where someone says, "it tastes too good to eat just one"? What a great advertisement for promoting addiction that ad was! With a slight variation I have it worked out for myself as a perfect mantre for helping me become aware of the worst things for my body: If it tastes so good "you can't only eat just one" then stay away from it.]
What is the cause of overweight?
Much of it boils down to poor nutrition, of course your body needs a certain amount of exercise, but in the short term over-weightness is related to a series of wrong choices of food consumption. Foods that don’t satisfy you are wrong choices of food to eat. Foods that are too tasty are probably also wrong choices if they are addictive in their tastiness.
Examples of Good Choices:
Ionized water [in abundance]
Whole, un-cooked, and un-juiced, veggies and fruits [in abundance]
Whole grains [in moderation]
Balance in foods consumed over the course of a day [proteins, carbs, etc.] [in moderation]
Poor Nutrition leads to poorer nutrition, and eventually poor health of course. It also can lead to obesity.
Examples of Poor Choices:
Soft drinks
Sugary foods
Refined Carbohydrates [or carbs in over-abundance]
Over-cooked vegetables [like what you get in cans]
Over-cooked meats [or meat in over-abundance]
Fats [in over-abundance] [chips, fries...]
To ensure good nutrition I suggest the following:
Drink plenty of alkaline ionized water. This will hydrate you, help get rid of toxins, help to protect your cells from free-radical damage [oxidation], give you more energy, and much more.
Don’t buy foods that are too tempting
Save your money and eat at home [rather than tempting fast-food places]
Limit the poor choices to none or almost none [depending on your will-power*].
*Surprising Insight into Will-Power: What I have found about will-power is that it actually takes less will-power to have none of certain foods than it does to have just a little of it. So if you think your will-power is low, then choose none of the poor-food-choice category. It’s easier to stick to. Sugary foods are an example of that kind of food for me. What I have to do is simply have none in the category of sweets whenever I want to lose weight. Whole, un-juiced and uncooked fruits are okay, but even allowing a little bit of refined, sugary foods opens the door [for me] for over-indulgence in the sweets department. If it’s any consolation, though, it takes about 3 days for your body to adjust to a new diet routine. If it’s a healthy diet routine, you should be on easy-street [in the cravings department] once your body adjusts to it.
Another Surprising Necessity Related to Losing Weight …
Is… to eat. Starving triggers the body’s mechanisms to store fat. You don’t want to trigger that. So eat. But eat in moderation.
So, If you are attempting to lose weight I suggest the following:
Eat. Do not not-eat. Do not starve. But, make sure to make good choices [see above] in what you eat.
Use moderation.
Drink lots of alkaline ionized water. [Advice for drinking ionized water: If you are mixing it with sweeteners, then do this in moderation. Don't do it with every glass. Do not heat the water...or if you do, then heat it infrequently. Heating loses most of the ionization benefits right away. Try to drink the ionized water fresh rather than hours old. Try to not blend or whip the ionized water. That causes you to lose much of your ORP [antioxidant benefits].]
Poor choices for mixing with ionized water.
Crystal-Lite
Cool-Aid
Good choices for drinks made with ionized water.
Squeeze a slice of fresh lemon, sweeten with Stevia, and mix slowly.
Steep a green-tea bag in room-temperature ionized water and sweeten with Stevia. Mix slowly.

According to the National Cancer Institute’s own estimate, the number of new cases of colon and rectal cancer in the US for 2010 is 103 thousand and out of those cases over 50 thousand are predicted to result in death. That is definitely a very high percentage of deaths!
It is definitely not new news that colon cancer kills, but it may be new news to some people that water ionizers have helped many people [preventatively] who were well on their way to colon cancer. Here is a video devoted to the subject to the colon. Dr Shinya was the inventor of the colonoscopy, and the colonoscopy is seen in practice in this video. People starting out with unhealthy colons are directed to drink ionized water and eat an alkaline diet for a period of time. Then the colonoscopies are repeated.
The results are remarkable. The people in this video who were headed for colon cancer are clearly reversed. Their life history is now re-written all because of a simple thing like ionized water and a healthy diet. Though we may never know the exact consequence of their continued course, we can use our own judgement to see where they were headed and where they are now headed…and see these are in two different directions.
These before vs afterdrinking ionized water video clips are quite amazing.
Drinking ionized water helps to cleanse the organs [including of course the colon], and healthy organs and cells need continuous cleansing in order to stay healthy…plain and simple.
So, providing your body with alkaline ionized water on a regular basis is definitely going to help. For eighty years it has been established that cancer cannot thrive in an alkaline environment. It needs acidity in order to live and grow.
This next video offers more proof. It is a collection of film-clips on animal research that has been done. Go to the 4-minute mark of the video to see these experiments with the rats. Rats and mice were injected with cancer and they are split into two groups [one group drinks alkaline ionized water]. The experiments are more testament to the fact that cancers will not grow in the presence of an alkaline body. Cancers need acidity to thrive. It’s in Korean, so you need to read and watch at the same time.

The other day my niece was working with me painting one of my apartments, and I noticed that she drank Gatorade in great quantities all day long. All told I think she drank 3 32-oz. bottles in a 3-hour period. So, I asked her why she drank so much Gatorade…and was surprised by her answer.
She said, “It’s a healthy drink. It’s got electrolytes and potassium in it and sports champions drink it, so it has to be healthy.” She also said she always makes sure to drink a lot of Gatorade whenever she’s working out or sweating a lot.
The reason this surprised me was how certain she was that this was a healthy drink! According to the bottle itself it had very little nutritional value, including almost no potassium. The advertising is obviously very good. People are willingly paying about $2.00 per bottle for pure flavored junk.
The store-keeper at the local “quick-shop” said he runs out of Gatorade all the time. He has “Power-Aid” in stock, but not Gatorade. I, not being educated in the differences between the two drinks, asked my niece if Power-Aid was as good to drink as Gatorade…and she said it was almost equal. It’s interesting that Gatorade always sells out.
Anyway, when we got home my niece had a little Gatorade left in her bottle. I asked her if I could test it to see how acid it was. I was assuming it was around as acidic as Kool-aid [which is around a 4 pH]. I was truly shocked to see that Gatorade [supposedly a HEALTH DRINK] tested out at a 2.7 pH. That is extremely acidic and definitely an UNHEALTHY drink. Here’s the video:
Athletes who are fooled into drinking this as a power drink are going to end up with arthritis, heart disease, allergies, colds, cancer and many other diseases if they drink this like water [i.e., as much as my niece does...or I should say, "did". My niece is going to cut down on Gatorade now that she knows how acidic it is.]
For athletes who really want a healthy drink full of electrolytes… mix up some fresh lemonade [use real lemons and ionized water]. Then go out and test your own performance. I guarantee you will see just as good a burst of power as you get with Gatorade [or better]…but the difference is that you won’t be risking your health with your “power-drink”. Plus it will be a heck of a lot cheaper.

I hear water ionizer testimonials all the time, and I don’t pass them on enough, so here are some fresh ones!
This morning I woke up to an email from an energetic guy who has had and seen so many good health benefits in himself and his friends that he wanted to share them with me and also become a distributor under me. Here are the quotes he sent me from his good friends who have benefited from ionized water:
The Jupiter alkaline water machine has made me “feel better, have more energy, and it’s allowed to to coach my daughters softball team. My lupus is now under control and I have my life back.” Chris Barsam
“My kidneys were spilling so much protein that I was in the hospital and dying. I am now spilling less protein than the average person and I lead a normal life. I was on dialysis and now am off of it. The Dr. says my kidneys are healed.” Tom Reidt
“I have had chronic fatigue syndrome since 1991. Alkaline water has given me the energy to go back to work fulltime.” Wendy Bosch
What a pleasant surprise it was to wake up to all these great quotes from his friends. That got me to thinking…I’ve had some recent water ionizer related experiences that reminded me of how grateful I am for my water ionizer!
I was visiting my Dad [helping him] for the past two weeks. During that time I only had a portable H2Go water ionizer with me. I missed my Athena water ionizer terribly, and I was just starting to feel some of those old, forgotten allergies returning to me when it was [happily] time to come home. Once home I drank lots of ionized water and soon felt back to my normal hardy-healthy self.
Here is one more. On my leg was a small red, swollen spot where I was hit by a flying pebble while trimming my Dad’s lawn edge a couple of days earlier. At night it got itchy an pussy, and it seemed to be spreading. I got up and took a look at it. It looked like poison ivy got into it somehow. So I soaked it with high alkaline water. The itching and swelling went down. A half hour later I soaked it again, and it reduced to a small pink spot with a couple of small scabs on it. It doesn’t itch or bother me at all any more, so I imagine whatever poison was in there is now out and it is now healing rapidly.
