PH Devices- P3

Part 3 cont > High PH water.. The talking heads of PH devices use their "convincer strategy" in this way. First you are instructed to test your saliva or urine with PH strips. Keeping in mind PH strips that test the PH of water are different than those used for testing body fluids. If a person test with the correct strips, urine would typically test more on the low PH/acidic side and depending on what was recently ingested, this would be normal. Unless buffered, uric acid, part of the natural digestive process, would show lower PH. NOW here is the kicker...drink high PH water or take an antacid/buffer your PH test would show higher PH (more alkaline). WOW.. the talking heads would tell you, look your bodies PH is higher. Not so, your urine could test higher PH but that does not affect your over all body or blood PH.
Looking further.... Life style, diet and the bodies natural digestion process will determine PH levels.
PH levels fluctuate depending on body stresses. Typically if a person consumes a more alkaline diet with live foods like fruits, vegetables, balanced proteins and some grains, they will achieve a more balanced body PH. If a diet consist of processed sugars, starches, processed foods (dead foods) and high fat proteins, the body has to work harder to digest. creating more stress, and that in turn could create a more acidic body environment... cont> P4

PH devices-P2

continue> Chapter 2: PH devices; Why people feel a difference after drinking high PH water. Depending on the level of PH they are drinking above 8 > it will act like an alkaline. If the person has chronic or acute digestive disorders high PH water could calm the symptoms much like taking any over the counter alkalizer/antacid. This is not curing the disorder but potentially covering up a more serious problem. The good news is they are drinking more water, and that alone can make a difference in the way a person feels.
The mind and the power of suggestion should not to be underestimated. If a person is looking for an answer and they are exposed to information, (that information could be true or false) but it sounds correct, the person searching, will more then likely adopt the information as truth. This along with some psychological/physiological reaction allows the person to believe they are doing something good for their body and actually feel different.
The talking heads of these products prey on the desperation of people searching for a simple answer to reverse or at least slow down aging, prevent dis-ease or cure their dis-order.
THE BOTTOM LINE is.. drinking artificially processed high PH water will not change the bodies overall PH or blood PH. ... What does happen is... cont.> Chapter 3

Be Aware of False Claims-P1

Be aware of claims made by folks that have an alternative agenda. Claims of "healing water" made from devices that force water to have a high PH. They use terms like "living water" and they refer to "CLEAN" water as dead or acid water. Their alternative agenda is to eventually sell you a device that cost anywhere from $1,000 - $4,000 dollars. These PH water device marketers are very clever with the terms and language used to convince people, most of whom are seeking answers for their health, that water from these devices can cure their ailments. BUT if you visit your "common sense corner" and ask the right questions, you will uncover the truth. The money spent on these devices could buy a person things that could truly impact their health and life in a positive way....like..
  • membership to a gym and or personal trainer
  • years of a good Vitamin/Supplement program
  • quality "Juicer" and enough produce to get you a good head start on a healthy life.
  • top quality whole house water filter system that removes chlorine from all your faucets
  • A comprehensive blood work up and counseling so you have a good "base line" for a healthy life
Water is not as complicated as these sellers, (some with impressive letters behind their name) want you to think. Drinking enough good quality clean, chemical free drinking water to cleanse, cool and aid in digestion would be beneficial in supporting body function. This along with a good balance of living water from foods like fruits & vegetables will do more for your over all health than any PH water device... Don't be their next sucker!...To be continued>
