ALKALINE RICH WATER PH 9.5 CHALLENGE

[king1033]

So I have made friends with someone very recently who takes their water very seriously! and had some quite powerful stories to back it up. So I decided to go out and buy 2, 6 gallon jugs (almost 2 weeks worth so I will need to refill a couple times through out the month just didnt wanna hastle her every day for my gallon and a half of water hahaha) and fill them up with alkaline high ORP value water and take a 30 day challenge so to speak.
Things I am hoping to find by drinking this water is increased recovery and just overall mood and wellbeing enhancement.
I have noticed a slight headache after drinking around 30oz or so, I did some research and found out that is the detox process taking effect so its normal to experiance a slight headache, anyone else care to chime in on alkaline rich water?

I have been on alkaline water for 2 months and could not go back to normal water, the difference gets more noticeable over time. I cannot go anywhere without my alkanaliser from Alkaway which brings the water up to 9.5 in 5 min, just 300ml at at time.

 

[FRKNHUGE]

what ionizer are you guys using?
ive been looking into this for some time now
frk

 

[b-boy]

interesting.

"subscribed"!

keep up with this thread, as im interested in your challenge.

*leaves to google water alkanaliser*

edit nothin came back. Any links?

edit They are really expensive huh? jesus. will have to wait to try that one.

Fast forward to 19:34 Evan talks about water PH levels

I'm looking into a sink unit as well. Can anyone list brands/models they are using?

Food is very important too

I understand that you should eat 60% alkaline foods and 30% acidic foods. Your body produces acid to break down your foods, obviously. Adding more acids in the form of food and water creates an unhealthy balance.

Beer has a PH of 2.......on a range of 0-14, 0 is pure acid, 7 is neutral, and 14 is extremely alkaline.

Acidic foods: most meats, grains, olive oil.

Alkaline foods: most fruits, greens.

Neutral: most dairy products.

i grow hydroponics

most sparklettts arrowhead reverse osmosis water is about 6-8.5ph which is ideal for human beings

 

[rhinofight]

as in cannabis? as far as sparkletts, what about the plastic?

I'm not one of those assholes who runs around with a gallon jug of H2O all day, so I'm probably not qualified to get into this discussion. However, instead of going to the trouble of trying to raise the pH of water, why not just chew a couple of Rolaids? I bet that if someone were to drop a Tums into a 16 ounce bottle of distilled water, the pH would raise dramatically and be comparable to some crazy "special water" gimmick.

 

[Ness]

Oh man...

i grow hydroponics

If youre growing mj, are you state legal? The DEA will still come after you, as its still a federal crime. They despise seeing people publicly announce there activity.

LE loves watching these boards and its all to easy to find you.

I agree. They don't seem to like having their noses rubbed into the illegal activities of people on the internet. Jeffrey Rock aka Gavin Kane found this out. I remember him over at bolex talking about getting his PhD and landing his dream job and what not...then, suddenly he started pimping the shit out of Pro Peptides, tells everybody about quitting his "dream job", and starts bragging about buying cars and a big house. All the while he was denying all accusations that he WAS Pro Peptides.

You really don't hear much from him anymore. I wonder why?

 

[Bionic]

You can grow ANY fruit or vegetable hydroponically. It's not illegal and conclusions shouldn't be jumped to. For all any of you know he could be talking about tomatoes.

 

[Ness]

Bionic

I didnt say he was, I only asked him if he was.....my motive is pure...I dont want to see anyone lose their freedom over this crap...please, be careful!

DAY 1,
so after yesterday of drinking 1 and a half gallons of the stuff I woke up today feeling fully energized and my skin was clearer than normal, I usually get morning blemishes but the blemishes from the day before seem to be faded and my skin looks less irritated...thats all i can visibly notice and not sure if its because of the water, but it would make sense if it was because of it. Also The person who is giving me the water told me a story about her father whos kidneys were failing and how he was on 3 different medications for YEARS and after 4 months of drinking the water, NO KIDNEY PROBLEMS AND NO NEED FOR MEDICATIONS anymore now i dont know about you but thats some proof to me right there, well proof enough for me to pick up these 2 6 gallon jugs and say "FILL EM UP!" hahaha
MORE TO COME

I simply do not understand how this can work. Your body has feedback mechanisms that prevent changes in blood ph. If you ingest compounds with a high or low ph, your stomach will adjust acids in order to bring the contents of your stomach to the proper ph. Eating food which causes your urine's ph to change does not change your blood ph. Metabolites of the digestion of certain vegetables and other foods cause your urines ph to change but this does not affect your blood. Placebo effect my friends all placebo. I am open to debate on the subject but I have seen no real data that would black up these companies claims. Pseudo science at its best. Sorry, don't mean to be rude, but there are claims about biochemistry being made here that are simply against everything we understand about the human body. I would like to see blood work done. Maybe I should start selling these things.

Some interesting reading I found,

When to drink alkaline water
Since bicarbonates enter the bloodstream only when the stomach produces hydrochloric acid, it is important that we drink as high a pH value alkaline water as possible. I recommend we drink alkaline water on an empty stomach. On an empty stomach, the stomach pH value may be high but the amount (volume) of hydrochloric acid in the stomach is small; therefore, drinking high pH (9.5 to 10) alkaline water will raise the stomach pH relatively high. That may cause the stomach to produce more hydrochloric acid, allowing more bicarbonates to enter the bloodstream.

Another possibility is that alkaline water may pass into the intestine immediately, since there is no solid food in the stomach to be digested. When that happens, the blood will absorb alkaline water into the bloodstream from the intestine. If alkaline water is introduced directly into the bloodstream from the intestine, the acid buffer (carbonic acid, H2CO3) will interact with the alkaline water to bring down the blood pH and the acid buffer will become the alkaline buffer.

Ca(OH) 2 + 2(H2CO3) = Ca++(HCO3-)2 + 2(H2O)

An increase of bicarbonates in the bloodstream will prevent aging and the onset of adult degenerative diseases. Now you know the scientific mechanics of how alkaline water extends life.

The above example is based on calcium hydroxide-rich alkaline water. This kind of water is produced with a water ionizer because the alkaline mineral in tap water is predominantly calcium.

Alkaline water made with AlkaLife® contains potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide in a patented ratio. When potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide goes into the bloodstream, again the acid buffer, carbonic acid (H2CO3) reacts with them and they become bicarbonates and water.


KOH + H2CO3 = KHCO3 + H2O

NaOH + H2CO3 = NaHCO3 + H2O



Hey all I know is it worked for other people some amazing stories and if i only had to spend 20$ on two jugs and a free source for this water....heck, Im going to give it a shot...why? Because my health is worth it.

 

[FRKNHUGE]

ur last statements are correct king

 

[king1033]

also no diet or exercise adds bicarbonates to the bloodstream.
