Benefits Of Alkaline Water
Having been a performer for the better part of my life keeping up the same energy
levels on stage isn't always easy. About five years ago the signs of a volatile lifestyle
were starting to really take their toll. It wasn't too long before taking pharmaceutical
substances became a permanent fixture of every performance.
I knew full well that
something had to dramatically change before my health deteriorated any further. I
started to juice every morning and this helped immensely but every time I did a show
I still felt fatigued and depleted at the end of the night. I also noticed something
else that was very strange at the time. I have always been a firm believer that consuming
lots of water especially when you are perspiring so rapidly is essential in replenishing
lost fluids. But for some reason even though I would drink a minimum of 2 litres
a show I always felt that the bottled water I was consuming wasn't quite right. I
would also feel a lot of acid reflux after the show and all through to the next morning.
So
I started to diligently research alkaline water otherwise referred to as 'ionized
water' and found out very quickly that the benefits from drinking it were nothing
short of amazing. There was a multitude of testimonials from people all over the
world attesting to its healing powers. So what is alkaline water and why is it so
good for us? According to my research I found that alkaline water was able to neutralize
the acidity build up in the body caused mainly by stress, modern diet, pollution
in the air and even by certain brands of bottled water. The PH level of our blood
fluctuates between 7.35 -
Acidity build
up in the body also creates the appropriate environment for many types of disease
to flourish and expand. Scientists have found that cancer cells and tumors feed on
acidity and are able to proliferate in an acidic environment. By drinking alkaline
water on a daily basis you are neutralizing the acidity and free radicals in your
body that we are bombarded with on a regular basis. This whole concept made a lot
of sense to me and I decided to venture out and purchase myself a good quality alkaline
filter. There seems to be a lot of choices on the market but abiding by the rules
of 'you get what you pay for' I decided to spend that little bit extra and get myself
a reputable and good quality unit.
I will never forget the first time
I tasted alkaline water. Unless you have tried it for yourself my description would
hardly do it justice. The very first thing I noticed was how easy and smooth it was
to drink. It almost has a velvet kind of consistency compared to the harshness of
normal tap water. I did some further investigating and found out that 'ionization'
which is the process for making alkaline water breaks clusters of water molecules
into smaller micro-
I also started to notice that cooking with alkaline
water improved the taste of foods and I found that it also enhanced the taste of
various herbal teas. Cooking with normal water only adds more acidity to your diet
and not to mentioned all of the other unfiltered microbes that you might be digesting.
By the way, boiling the water does not kill all bacteria nor does it get rid of other
chemicals.
My mother who has been a rheumatoid arthritis sufferer for the last 20
years also started drinking the alkaline water and noticed a dramatic change in her
mobility. Normally she couldn't even get out of bed in the morning due to the excruciating
pain that she felt. Any sort of arthritis is due to a build up of acidity in the
joints and drinking alkaline water has helped my mother better manage this disease
and the pain associated with it.
Having the alkalizing filter also prompted me to
test the PH level of bottled water on the market. The results were not only surprising
but at times overwhelming to say the least. Some of the bottled water that I had
been drinking on a regular basis had a PH level of about 3-
Benefits of being in an alkaline state:
1-improved digestion
2-improved elimiantion of all toxins via skin, lungs, bowel,
kidneys
3-much greater absorbtion of nutrients
4-reverse the aging process
5-improved
skin tone
6-effortless weight loss (weight stabilizes to correct weight)
7-increased
level of strength and vitality
8-better memory
9-improved breath and "taste" in mouth
10-increased regularity of bowel movements and feeling of total evacuation
11-less
mood and energy swings (serenity is a byproduct of adapting a mostly alkaline diet)

One of the main advocators of Alkalizing the body for optimal health is Tony Robbins. During the same time period that I was deeply amerced in researching the alkaline phenomenon a close friend of mine who happened to be a naturopath gave me a set of CD’s which had Tony Robbins on the cover. I always admired Mr Robbins for his ability to motivate people but motivation was not exactly one of my weaker points at the time. Nevertheless she insisted that the information on this particular seminar would be of great interest to me and maybe even life changing. Her prediction could not have been more accurate because the information on the CD’s has changed my life quite significantly. I credit a lot of the knowledge that I have gained and shared with numerous people over the years to this particular Tony Robbins seminar. All the things I was taught to believe about food and health were shattered by a single case containing 9 CD’s. I would now like to share this valuable information with you and hope that it has a similar impact on your own life. It is an empowering thing to know how the body really functions and what you need to avoid so it doesn’t break down.
Now I ask you to go and make yourself a nice warm cup of herbal tea, sit back and listen to this informative seminar.

How Safe Is Fluoride In Our Water
How safe is fluoride in your water??
Fluoride added to our drinking water can be considered mass medication! The type
of fluoride compound put into drinking water is called sodium fluoride. It is a by
product of aluminium production. This compound is a highly toxic compound which accumulates
in the body. The fluoride in natural water is called calcium fluoride. Sodium fluoride
is more toxic than lead, and is just slightly less toxic than arsenic. The biggest
cause of dental decay may be dietary deficiency and not a fluoride deficiency. Fluoride
inhibits over 100 different enzymes in the soft tissues of the body. It disrupts
hydrogen bonds, leads to bone malformation, calcium deposits, hypothyroidism (leading
to obesity), genetic damage, birth defects, and cancer. 1 part per million (ppm)
of fluoride interferes with collagen metabolism. At levels of 1 part per million
fluoride has been shown to increase tumors growth rates. Fluoridation alone results
in 5-10% increase in the cancer death rate. This means that from 10-20,000 people
die of cancer due to fluoridation. Death from all causes is 5% higher in fluoridated
areas than non-fluoridated areas. Cooking in aluminium cookware with water containing
fluoride increases the aluminium concentration by up to 1000 times more than cooking
in fluoride free water. Boiling will eliminate all traces of chlorine from water,
but it will not eliminate fluoride, which can be eliminated through the process of
distillation. Many countries in Europe, such as Sweden, Holland, Germany, Italy,
France, and Norway have abandoned fluridation for lack of sufficient evidence of
its benefits or safety. Over 50% of the Australian population drink fluridated water!
Let's face it, ionizers are not cheap; but they may be one of the most important investments of your life. At AlkaWay we want all our clients to understand the basics of alkaline balance. Once you understand you can make a safe, informed choice.
Now it’s as easy as ionized H20 to de-
Until recently the only way to maintain a healthy, consistent pH level in the blood
and tissues was to live on 80% alkaline foods such as raw, green-
The drawback to this type of diet and lifestyle is its cost, (fresh organic vegetables are both expensive and often hard to find in convenient fresh quantities), and its impossibility – for most of us, today’s lifestyle is stressful, like it or not.
This section will guide you through the basic questions on choosing an alkaline lifestyle best for you.
