The pH Debate
24 Apr 2010
There is a tremendous amount of information about water ionizers on the internet. Most of what you read is marketing hype, and virtually all of the “good stuff” is borrowed from others. There is very little original material, and there are only a handful of people that I have found that actually have something useful to contribute.
The health industry focuses on the importance of the benefits of being alkaline (pH over 7.0) because disease can’t exist in an alkaline environment.
pH is the measure of the acidity… Continue reading

Ten Things You Should Know About Water Ionizers
21 Apr 2010
Slowly but surely, people are discovering the benefits of drinking alkaline ionized water. Most of us take our health for granted until something goes wrong, so most inquiries about the water come from people who are trying to “fix” something. I suspect it will remain that way for years to come, but my hope is that eventually people will learn to take care of their health before they have problems. Proper maintenance is always a superior solution to repair.
If you are investigating water ionizers on the internet… Continue reading

Prostate Cancer Success Story with Alkaline Ionized Water: Washington State
In: Alkaline Water| Cancer
17 Apr 2010My research into the benefits of ionized water in regards to helping cancer patients lead me to start blogging about water. I don’t know how people find this blog, but they do. As a result, I continue to hear from more and more people with cancer. While cancer may have not reached epidemic levels yet, the number of people diagnosed or living with cancer is alarming. This is an inspiring story about a man who had been diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer and used ionized water to beat the disease and improve his overall health. This story was referred to me… Continue reading
I can’t stand the way the water i0nizer review websites claim to be independent when they are not independent at all. I like the fact that they create awareness with their expensive advertising campaigns, but the fact they don’t disclose their financial interest is deceiving. The review sites are financed 100% by companies and are carefully constructed to lead the reader to choose a specific product.
Today, I’m reviewing the site http://www.waterionizerreviews.org/. The site is a completely biased promotional site for a specific brand of water ionizers. It is easy to pick your way through… Continue reading
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
How much water should I drink?
In: Miscellaneous
21 Mar 2010
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!
You should pay as much attention to your level of hydration as you do to your intake of food. Your body is made up of 70% water, so don’t ignore the importance of water.
Never rely upon being thirsty as a good… Continue reading

Is your drinking water safe?
In: Drinking Water
15 Mar 2010
I receive a lot of inquiries about source water. People are concerned about contaminants in their water. Some of the fears that I hear are unfounded, but many are real. This article is about the contaminants found in your water, and which filters can effectively deal with them.
I believe everyone should learn what is in their drinking water as soon as they move into a home. Have your water tested if your source water comes from a well, river, lake, or anything other than a municipal water… Continue reading
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

Using Ionized Water to Eliminate Arthritis
In: Arthritis| Ionized Water
6 Oct 2009I hear so many success stories from people that have eliminated their arthritis with ionized water that I forget that 99% of people in the USA and Canada are unaware of the water. It boggles my mind that so few people in North America know about this water despite the fact it has been available here for eight years. In Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, 60% of homes that can afford a unit have one on their counters, which means that there is 100% awareness of the machines. Our reliance upon pharmaceutical drugs in North America that deal with symptoms but… Continue reading
