Is it Time to get Rid of your Reverse Osmosis “RO” System for Drinking Water?
In: Reverse Osmosis
30 Mar 2010
Please indulge me a short story before I get to the hard facts about reverse osmosis systems.
I heard a terrible true life story this week about a cancer patient that I have talked to in the past. Her friend has always been very interested in health and convinced her to get a water ionizer. During a recent visit, the friend was stunned to see the ionizer unplugged and a reverse osmosis system hooked up.
It turns out that a RO salesman had told the cancer patient that she needed… Continue reading

I often get asked how much water people should drink. I did a quick search of the internet looking for an article to refer people to, but I couldn’t find anything that dealt with all the issues and had all the correct facts. Here is my effort!

Ionizersreviewed.com… a review of the review site
In: Water Ionizers
11 Mar 2010
It came to my attention today that one of the water ionizer review sites ”ionizersreviewed.com” has chosen a second line of water ionizers for their ”best value” catagory. This represents a major step in the right direction for a review site. The widely promoted website has provided reviews of various water ionizers for the past couple of years. The site has always claimed to provide independent advice and testing of different brands, but on closer inspection, the site has never been independent at all. It has always favoured one specific brand. Of course, other companies caught on to… Continue reading
I have been watching with great interest the ongoing development of the strategy by the pharmaceutical industry to cast doubt of the benefits of an alkaline diet and alkaline water.
What are they afraid of? Do you think that they might be concerned that if we eat properly and hydrate adequately, the need for pharmaceutical drugs will plummet like they did in Japan before the water ionizer industry was forced to shut down advertising for two years?
This article addresses a truly pathetic internet effort to discredit alkaline water. The… Continue reading
