Dear folks,
next time you're at the groceries, pick up a package of baking soda.
Dissolve about 3 knife's edges in 1 liter of water and boil it. This converts "baking soda" to "washing soda". This will raise the pH in the water instantly to 9 or 10 and it will be much more pleasurable to drink than classical baking soda which itself isn't very alkaline.
Your water will be highly alkaline and full of energy (hydroxyl ions). You can actually light up a weak light bulb with it.
If you're adult, your brain runs at aproximately 100 watts of current. You need energy! And you can get a heck of a lot from drinking alkaline water I believe. But please toss the coffee.
Vegetables and fruits also provide you with energy because when they are broken down inside your body, the minerals they contain such as magnesium will alkalize your body's water and give you energy! This is how fruits and vegetables work alkaline in your body even though when raw they contain a lot of acid!
Water is Alkaline when the pH level has risen above 7 - abundance of free negative ions (energy). When there are a lot of negatively charged ions there will be Orgone - the life force energy.
Subtle-energy of water however is a different topic that I don't want to go into here. For more info on that topic google or youtube:
Masaru Emoto.
Some independant japanese scientists have confirmed for you in animal tests that ionized (=energized) water is good for you:

But then of course 'The System' and it's parrots are saying that there can be no difference between neutral and ionized water but those lies shouldn't bother us anyone since it has been scientifically proven that Ionized water reduces cancer growth, reduces death rates, reduces colesterol and blood sugar etc.
be well,
Paul
Something interesting I've just found on the topic
QuoteOne form of negative ions is the unseen particles of electricity that come in with thunderstorms and momentarily make us feel like "hippies on drugs" (not that I know anything about that). A simple Internet search on negative ions revealed the information (ions, not hippies). Research shows that negative ions put the body in a temporary alkaline pH state. Most humans are in an acid pH state ... cancer wards are full of 'em.
And another very interesting correlation someone makes here :-o
QuoteTheoretically (in my humble opinion, of course), negative ions have a common bond to the positive feelings we get from meditation. Regular/consistent meditation is associated with relaxed states-of-mind -- a stress antagonist. Stress is a major contributor to acid pH in our blood/bodies. As we buffer our acid-state in consistent manners (meditation, smart eats, baking soda, etc.), a healthier alkaline condition becomes the norm. In addition, nutritional supplements are assimilated more effectively/efficiently in an alkaline body.

That's very interesting, indeed! Nice find.
I'd love to see more trials done though.

Make sure that you don't have a problem with sodium (like a heart problem, for example). I do know that people with acid reflux use this and it helps them.

Dear CFTraveler,

This is the baking soda molecule. There is roughly 1/4 of sodium in it.
Taking one grams of sodium bicarbonate one receives about 250 miligrams of sodium (actually probably even less than 200, following molecular weight).
The irony is that the alkalizing effect may cure the heart problem itself also. There are also some who say that any disease can exist only as long as the body is overacidic.
In Japan alkaline water is actually a routine treatment used by the medical System in the hospitals over there.
But the American system is so corrupt...well no need to continue.

Paul

Thanks for posting those, Tiny.
Are there any reports showing any ill effects? Or negative reports?
I know that's a silly question to ask... but I'd like to read stuff from the other side as well to get the full story.
And you're saying we can duplicate this kind of effect just by mixing a bit of Baking Soda in with our water?

Alkalizing a system has to do with keeping certain types of bacteria from colonizing your body, but heart disease comes in many forms, and the reason that sodium is contraindicated is because of the fluid load it puts on the heart to pump- so one thing has nothing to do with another.
Most heart disease is caused by too much fat, the wrong kind of fat, and too much sodium in the diet- and there also are heart defects, that can be caused by many reasons, some genetic, some not. But an alkaline system will have no effect on structure- but sodium can cause heart damage if too much is eaten.
Most people with flow problems (due to defective valves and/or other structural reasons) should not have more than 350mG of sodium in a serving of anything, because it makes the body hold water in the blood, and it is hard for the heart to push all that fluid through- especially if it's not working correctly in the first place.
So if someone is taking 200 mG of sodium in a beverage, that only gives them 100 more or less in the food they are going to eat. Which is not much, many foods have more sodium than that.
BTW, the 'soda' in sodas is sodium bicarbonate, also known as carbonated water, most seltzer waters and baking soda. They're all names for the same thing.
There is no 'magic bullet'- there is no one 'cure' that can cure everything- some things can be good for something and not good for something else.
So even though I'd recommend this for someone with acid reflux instead of another type of antacid, I would not recommend this to someone who has heart or kidney problems, because if it causes the blood pressure to go higher it can also damage the kidneys. Of course the second thing is unlikely (unless there is already damage or the person already eats too much salt.) but it's something that should be known.

Dear CFTraveler,
I'm not sure you're aware of the fact that alkalizing the body is NOT a treatment. It is a principle by which the Japanese have always lived.
There are people who believe today that all diseases are caused by changes in the pH level of the body - towards the acidic. By drinking alkaline water and eating alkalizing foods this balances is to be repaired and the diseases can no longer flourish. Therefore with alkalizing your body you have a technical cure-all. Now I don't know if that model is the truth but I happen to be interested and OPEN to it especially since the Japanese scientific experiments on animals alone have shown the enormous benefits.
In some cases good diets have cured diseases. This is not due to some magical healthy effect but likely since the minerals in the food binds to the water of the body and alkalize it.
QuoteThere is no 'magic bullet'- there is no one 'cure' that can cure everything- some things can be good for something and not good for something else.
Just so you know: unsupported or supressed by the western medical system there are many 'grassroots' medicines dirt cheap - such as MMS (ClO2) that has been proven to cure over 650 diseases alone, including cancer, malaria and HIV, all without side-effects.
Ionic silver solutions has been reported to cure HIV.
Calcium Hypochlorite cures HIV even hemp oil cures cancer and the list goes on.
kind regards,
Paul
Oh, I'm all for alkalinizing- and there are many ways to do it other than using soda ash- for example, calcium is another way to do it (although too much isn't good either.) So maybe a regimen of other alkaline foods/beverages may be safer than just by using just one product.
BTW, another thing the japanese do that I think is very healthy is eat fish every day, and gargle with water as soon as they awake. I've been meaning to adopt this but I keep forgetting in the mornings.
Hey Tiny,
Have you read a book called "Alkalize or Die"?
It's pretty good.
pH 8 has 10x more H(-) ions than pH 7
pH 9 is 10x times more H(-) ions than pH 8
pH 10 has 10x times more H(-) ions than pH 9
The difference in energy simply huge.
I like to go all the way up to 10. I am planning to make myself a potassium hydroxide solution so I can energize the water drop-wise instead of having to boil it up with baking soda in order to get it all the way up to 10.
kind regards,
Paul
Dont modify my posts.
Ask me and I'll remove it if I agree with you.

I'ts only been a few days and I already notice my lower back pain that I've had for 7+ years is going away.
Ironically a few minutes after I realized this I read a woman reported that the first thing she noticed after converting to alkaline water was that her lower back pain went away!
Common sense tells me that the body uses the bicarbonates from the H(-) ions of the alkaline water to neutralize excess acid that accumulated in the spine and which positive charge caused pain sensations.
It is amazing what this stuff does to people!
I remember I used to drink tap water before I converted to reverse osmosis water and the tap water had a much higher pH (around 8,6) than the RO water (7,4) and I felt much healthier back when I drank the tap water. Now I drink RO water with the pH upped to 10 and It's like taking pain killers my whole body feels more serene.
kind regards,
Paul
Jeez, man...how cool! I've gotta whip some up here soon.
Could also be a placebo effect.
We don't really understand just how powerful the mind is.
Maybe not though... just tossing that out there.

If anyone is really interested in alkalizing, there is a really good book out there called "Alkalize or Die" by Theodore A. Baroody.
It has a good explanation of Alkalizing one's diet along with a 7-day transition diet and a shopping list. It also has some good recipes in the back. It's definitely worth checking out if you're interested.
I suppose the idea is that many foods break down in the body and turn very acidic which in turn causes our internal systems to be more acidic. And many foods that one may even think are acidic turn alkaline, like citrus fruits. Acidic environments are the ideal breeding ground for disease and lethargy. Alkalizing counters that.

Tea after 1 hour or so. Righthand one is in alkaline (pH 10) water, left hand in neutral, slightly acidic (pH 6,6) RO water which pH is similiar to bottled or spring water.
The tea needed to seep only about 30 seconds in the alkaline water and atleast 3 minutes in RO water to achieve the same coloration.
So you're going to have better tea too with alkaline water.
And I've never laid so comfortable on my ruined back as last night. No kind of healthy food I've tried has managed to do this for me. The pain just keeps going down even tho the spinal pressure is the same with so much lack of exercise.
This is the power of free negatively charged ions. :-)
Hippocrates should've said instead: "Let your water be your medicine and your medicine be your water".
Yet inspite all the proof, testimonies and other evidences the pseudo-scientists running many western medical establishments dare to claim there could be no difference consuming alkaline and neutral water.
And the ones in my country are so radically insane they say anyone claiming health benefits with "stuff like this" should be indicted before court.
kind regards,
Paul
that's awesome. i've been eating alkaline off and on for a while but i never did the water thing. you've converted me.
i don't usually drink water anyway but i'm gonna start.
i spy a bottle of nose spray in the background there. i am a nose spray addict.

People often forget to drink water.Water is essential to us physically and psychically, it helps the energy flow.
Water has life...
Well I "energize" the water myself by thinking of something good or by simply sayng thank you.
Most of use think that water is a ordinary thing, but with your mind you can make water a potion or a poison.
