Hey guys, just imagine for a minute that you are a professional gymnast who specializes on the balance beam – the event which takes place on a four (4) inch wide, wooden beam that requires lots of balance, training, and skill - – - just to keep from falling off, causing serious bodily injury (a hard landing).  But before continuing at the gym, think back to your high school days where you probably learned something you barely recall – - about the pH factor.  Remember now?  It had to do with acidity vs. alkalinity and a scale that ranged from 0 (totally acidic) to 14 (totally alkaline).  The odds are pretty good that you probably forgot the tidbit of information that all humans, under ideal conditions, should have a pH factor of just under 7.4 – a critical bit of information in today’s lesson, about being an accomplished gymnast on the balance beam.

Now for a few life-saving analogies, using the above bits of information:  

-  You may not have even learned that if your body becomes acidic (acidosis), you have begun leaning to the left side of the balance beam and are subject to not only falling off, but you are in the zone commonly referred to as the basic foundation for all, (repeat, ALL) disease, as well as having developed a key component in FAT RETENTION and AGING.

 -  Becoming acidic causes your blood to coagulate (thicken), which then has major problems flowing around the fatty acids.  Capillaries clog up and die, and the skin which is now deprived of life-giving healthy blood, loses elasticity and begins to wrinkle.  Even with a face lift or liposuction, the acidity remains and continues our efforts to remain “balanced”.  Without the proper acid/alkaline balance, every part of your body works even harder to maintain health and the correct blood pH.

 -  Should your acidic level fall (lean?) too far to the left, you will not only fall off the beam, but you will lapse into a coma and die (as in dead).  Meanwhile a typical can of soda has an acidic pH level of 2.5, requiring thirty two (32) glasses of “neutral” pH water to “balance” that one beverage.  Can you spell phosphoric acid and/or sugar?

 -  The mineral iodine is required for a healthy thyroid gland.  However our thyroid will receive no iodine unless the body pH is almost perfect (as in vertical on the balance beam).  Thyroid deterioration has been connected to arthritis, heart disease and heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, depression and fatigue – a few minor issues you might want to discuss with your trainer (doctor).

 -  Last year I wrote about the critical and little known usage of magnesium.  Magnesium is a mineral that does not function properly without the correct balance of calcium and magnesium, at a 2:1 ratio.   An unbalanced acidic system will always hunger for calcium, once again supporting the need for balance to the right side of the beam (alkalinity).

 -  According to Dr. W.R. Kellas, Ph.D., co-author of “Surviving in A Toxic World”, the pH factor plays a very important role in ridding the body of heavy metals such as mercury and aluminum – prime suspects as a causative factor in Alzheimer’s Disease.   (Recall my article last year about the dangers of FLUORIDE which is a bi-product of aluminum).   He states that once the body’s acidic level is less than 6.5, the more it holds on to heavy metals.  Heavy metals in turn create a high oxidative stress that acidifies the body.  I guess we could draw the parallel here that “heavy metals” would cause one to lean further to the left, and the possibility of falling off the beam, and an extremely hard “landing”.

-  Diet can obviously play a huge part in supporting the alkaline balance, and health practitioners recommend an 80/20 mix of alkaline and acid foods.  Unfortunately, unless you are training like ‘Popeye’ and absorb large amounts of spinach, beets, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, celery, collard greens and a few other less-known vegetables, plus selected fruit and nuts, (preferably organic), you will remain tilted to the left (acidic), and still subject to falling off the beam, causing great harm to your body. 

Note here that acidity is accentuated by consuming red meat (particularly char-broiled), all forms of sugar, processed foods, “quick foods”, hard liquor and beer,  all colas and all soft drinks, and in some cases, even bottled and/or city drinking water. 

Which now brings us back to the title of today’s column.  You are no doubt asking yourself something like “what in the world does the balance beam and alkalinity have to do with drinking water”?   

First I need to clarify that tap water may or may not already be slightly alkaline, depending on the municipality and their respective systems.  Bottled water may range from slightly alkaline,  to lower levels of acidity at 5.5 or 6.0 and also remember that there are absolutely no controls, nor regulations anywhere in America which govern what may (or may not) go into the bottling process.  Talk about a slippery beam???

The answer to the riddle about Controlling the Balance Beam – “on Water” is found in the benefits of drinking water from a Water Ionizing machine. 

These “water machines” are a Japanese technology that converts ordinary tap water to a beginning level 8.0 alkalinity, depending on the pH factor of tap water entering the machine. Most people find that an alkaline water regime initiates immediate detoxification and that bowel movements will normalize after years of malfunction.   Energy returns, strength and endurance increase, and they often experience classic symptoms of detoxification including reduced headaches, body aches, less itching and minimal arthritic pain, as the acidic minerals are washed out, and the body begins “hydrating” itself. 

As the body acclimates and tolerance levels are reached, the alkalinity is increased through four different settings to a “cruising” level which is usually of around 9.5 to 10.0.  Although the technology is relatively new to the USA, these machines are used in nearly all hospitals and clinics, in doctor’s offices, and in the homes of millions of Japanese families. The Japanese also have the longest life expectancy of any country in the world at 82.6 years vs. the US at 78.2 years (38^th).

 Also it is important that I acknowledge my affiliation as a distributor for the Jupiter machines and that my experience began in May, 2008 when I first began drinking ionized alkaline water  in an effort to control my alkalinity as a result of prostate cancer.  My only care during this period has been with a naturopathic doctor and I am pleased to advise PSA levels have steadily decreased while taking neither chemotherapy nor radiology.

The real kicker to all of this?  A minimal amount of on-line research will confirm that cancer and a multitude of other illnesses and ailments begin and subsequently thrive in an acidic blood system.  Adding even the smallest amounts of any type of sugar to a body inflicted with cancer is like pouring gasoline on a burning fire.   Meanwhile cancer that is exposed to an alkaline blood system will stop further growth, suffocate and melt away.  (See “The Real Cause of Cancer” on my website at www.healthwantednow.com).

 I can almost guarantee that ninety percent of all cancer doctors know nothing about this information for several reasons.  One is that they were never trained or trained very little about nutrition in medical school and have no interest or time to learn about it afterwards.  Secondly, is that they are brainwashed and educated only on the merits of pharmaceutical treatments. Thirdly, and even sadder is that if patients were cured naturally, the doctor’s source of a nice livelihood would disappear.  And the FDA only exacerbates all of the above – see my article “FDA: The Fox Guarding the Pharmaceutical Hen House” also on my website above.

It is that simple, however it remains critical to remember that cancer is a systemic imbalance and caused nearly always by a non-functioning immune system.   Hence the focus of this article to illustrate the analogy of not only learning to control the Balance Beam, but to realize that both the CAUSE and the CURE for cancer and many, many other body ailments is because of improper balance of acidity vs. alkalinity.  

How about another glass of water?
