today I’m going to talk about the

benefits the side effects and the

dangers of alkaline water now naturally

when you’re drinking water from a spring

or from a well or an Artesian well it’s

going to be alkaline and it’s alkaline

because of the minerals calcium

magnesium which are both alkaline but

definitely people have this idea that

anything acid is unhealthy or it will

cause sickness and anything alkaline is

healthy which is absolutely not true

because in our bodies we have a lot of

different acids nucleic acids as in your

DNA you have hydrochloric acid as your

stomach acid you even have lactic acid

that’s in your colon to help you digest

you have amino acids and fatty acids so

just because something is acid doesn’t

make it bad okay we have this scale of

acidity and alkalinity and right in the

center is seven which is neutral and

distilled water is neutral and as the

numbers go up okay above seven okay so

you have 7 8 9 10 11 12 all the way up

to fourteen things are becoming more

alkaline and just so you know at the

very top of the list like 14 which is

extremely alkaline you have things like

drain cleaner bleach which is I think 13

and soap which is you know it could be

anywhere between eight and ten so those

are all uh alkaline then as we go lower

we get things like lemon juice and apple

cider vinegar and tomatoes and of course

soda those are all acidic but when we

talk about pH in our body

most the time we’re referencing our

blood pH which normally should be

slightly alkaline so if neutral was

seven your blood is 7.34 to

7.45 and I think the biggest myth about

pH is that

it’s very difficult to change your pH by

taking something and I’m talking about

changing the pH of your blood so whether

someone’s eating more alkaline food or

more acidic food

that pH in your blood is probably

unlikely to change our body tends to

control and regulate the PHS of the

different parts of our body so for

example your saliva should be slightly

alkaline your blood should be slightly

awkward your stomach should be very very

very acidic but your small intestine

that goes right after the stomach should

be alkaline yet the large bowel should

be acidic not like the stomach but

slightly acidic of course we have the

gallbladder in bile which should be

alkaline so we don’t want to alkalize

the body okay that’s not a smart thing

to do and primarily the reason for that

is because when you take something

that’s alkaline and specifically I’m

talking about alkaline water you are

going to alter the stomach’s pH which

should be between one and three very

acidic and doing that is going to come

with a package like you may end up with

heartburn acid reflux gas gerd you might

have an increased risk of infection you

might have hair loss you might have

arrhythmias and I’m not talking about

alkaline water from the spring or

Artesian well or some type of water that

you would get naturally with the

minerals and I’m mainly talking about a

water that’s created maybe from a

machine or something that has nothing to

do with minerals so there’s a machine

out there that you can get that

alkalizes the water and they don’t add

minerals to it they put electricity

through the water and they alter the the

water and take out the acidic part

leaving this water very alkaline I

remember in practice once testing

someone’s urine after they use this

machine for about two weeks and the pH

of their urine which normally should be

acidic was like nine which is extremely

alkaline for your urine and so this will

really put them in a situation where

they’re very susceptible to having

infections they can’t kill off microbes

that well so there is some huge side

effects from drinking a lot of extremely

alkaline water but there’s not going to

be any side effects from drinking your

Spring Water that’s alkaline or some

bottled spring water that has a lot of

minerals in it because it’s made

alkaline in a natural way so here’s some

missing information that that you need

to know the pH in your stomach should be

between one and three very very acidic

and the purpose of the acidity is to

help you break down protein is to help

you absorb minerals also absorb B12

as well as to kill off pathogens right

I’m talking about bacteria fungus

parasites that could be in your food

okay it’s kind of a natural barrier your

immune barrier and so as we age we lose

this stomach acid people that are taking

antacids are putting their pH in their

stomach in the wrong direction Because

the actual cause of heartburn GERD and

acid reflux most of the time is this

your stomach acids are not strong enough

and that valve at the top of the stomach

is not closing so you’re regurgitating

acids the thing to do to correct this is

to take more acids not to take less

acids or not to alkalize the stomach

with anything that just makes it worse

so if we alkalize the stomach we start

developing a condition called hypo

chlorohydria or like no acid in your

stomach which is called a chlorhydria

and in that situation not only are you

not going to be able to digest protein

so these undigested protein particles

get into the small intestine into the

large intestine and then it starts to

affect the immune system in a negative

way you may start developing allergies

there’s an interesting study done on

mice where they got rid of the stomach

acid fed them fish

and they developed allergies to fish

protein which is interesting so not

being able to digest protein can

increase risk of getting allergies can

create gas and all sorts of like things

like constipation the other important

thing about stomach acids is to be able

to absorb iron

calcium magnesium zinc potassium without

having stomach acid you could easily be

deficient in these minerals not to

mention the vitamin B12 so all this can

create anemia and it can lead to many

other issues and of course this acid

kills off microbes so if you can’t kill

off microbes you end up with microbes in

your small intestine okay and that term

is called small intestinal bacterial

overgrowth which is a pretty nasty

condition so that means every time you

eat you’re going to feel bloated and it

usually is created because your stomach

acid is not strong the side effects from

people taking antacids are the same as

those who have not enough stomach acid

so those are some of the side effects of

alkaline water now should we drink

acidic water well personally I found

that when I drink carbonated water and

it’s slightly acidic and I actually can

digest better especially if I add a

little teaspoon of either apple cider

vinegar or maybe some lemon juice now

since we’re on the topic of peach or you

want to just talk about one more thing

if you actually develop a condition

called alkalosis which your pH is

definitely way too alkaline so here are

the side effects from having alkalosis

number one you are going to have low

potassium you’re going to have low

calcium that calcium is going to bind to

protein now this calcium is unavailable

for the muscle contraction relaxation

effect and you’re going to start having

these weird Twitches it’s called tetany

sometimes it’s underneath the eye

sometimes it’s in the arm it could be

anywhere in the body it can also affect

the heart rhythm you can start

developing heart arrhythmias the muscle

is greatly affected in an alkalosis

state so either the muscle is going to

be in spasm it’s going to be crampy it’s

going to be in pain it’s going to be

weak but overall you’re going to have

some really abnormal Sensations in the

body but both nerve wise and muscle wise

and it can even get so severe that you

can go into either a seizure or a coma

we don’t want alkalosis and we don’t

want to be too acidic we want to have

the right pH for the right part of your

body having the right pH especially in

our stomachs will allow certain enzymes

to work the enzyme that helps you digest

protein is not activated unless you have

the strong acid and the same thing with

the small intestine certain enzymes like

for example for carbohydrates are

activated when it’s alkaline but like I

said before different parts of your body

require different PHS you know where I

live right now I actually have Spring

Water okay and it comes from a spring

and we recently drilled for water at a

different location okay and they had to

go I think a hundred and thirty feet

below

Rock they had to drill through Rock like

Granite to find this water and so I

asked the guy said like where does that

water come from and he said well we

don’t really know some people say it

comes from the rain and snow that melts

through and it seeps through the soil

and it gets into the Earth and it kind

of forms these little pools and Pockets

but my thought is how does it get

through these rock formations and so

what I learned about that it’s still a

theory and where this water comes from

so it got me curious so I did another

Deep dive into where our water really

comes from and I found some really

interesting information they actually

found the chemistry of water which is

not in the water form it is basically

hydrogen and oxygen embedded into a

mineral and apparently this came from a

volcano so it was very very deep they

actually calculated it to be about 400

miles deep into the Earth and apparently

which is even more interesting there’s

an enough water down there or at least

pre-water that can turn into water to

literally fill up an ocean so the

advantage of these minerals in water

okay give us some additional health

benefits but only if they’re created in

a natural way not from a machine that

alkalizes the water which omits that

help from the minerals now since we’re

on the topic of water if you have not

seen my video on carbonation in water I

put that video up right here check it
