Pure water Alkaline water

Hi ,

Water is the second most abundant nutrient the human body needs after air. Without water, either in liquid form or in the foods we eat, we die rather uncomfortably. Since we take in so much water each day it is vital that the water we drink is pure - free from poisons.

100 years ago the primary contaminant in water supplies that challenged our health was toxic bacteria. Sanitation was not real high back then and a lot of human and animal waste was dumped directly into rivers, lakes, and streams which were then used as drinking water. This is still a major problem in many developing countries. But in the United States we have developed a public water system that does an excellent job of eliminating bacteria from our water supply through water treatment with chlorine to kill the bad bacteria.

What has not been addressed in this country are the chemical contaminants that are overwhelming our drinking water sources. As our society is getting more technologically advanced, our waste has been getting chemically more toxic. Literally thousands of new chemical compounds are developed each year, and all of them eventually end up in dumps and down the drain - and right into our water supply.

Recently many articles have been written about the massive number of pharmaceutical drugs that are either being flushed down the toilet or directly or passed out through the urine into the waste water to the treatment plants. The treatment facilities don't know what to do with this pharmaceutical soup as traditional waste treatment processes do not destroy these drugs. This grey water is used to water lawns, or sterilized and dumped into the rivers. These drugs are wreaking havoc on the fish populations - cancers and reproductive problems. Then these drugs get picked up in the water for us to drink again.

Another huge problem that is being ignored is the problem of contamination of ground water and river water with radioactive waste and industrial chemicals. This EPA list of over 100 Superfund sites in the Pacific southwest alone demonstrates just how bad the situation is. Superfund sites are places where the toxic waste is so dangerous that federal funds have been allocated to clean these up. The problem is very few of these sites have actually been dealt with.

While our tap water is probably safe to drink in terms of picking up a disease like cholera, it definitely is not pure clean healthy water coming out our tap. Over the last several years we have been dealing with this unfortunate reality by buying bottled water. Plastic bottles of water have been a gold mine for retail sales in stores. These bottled waters were a good stopgap measure as the water could be purified through reverse osmosis to a good standard of purity. Unfortunately the consequence of this stopgap has been the production of billions of waste plastic bottles. While some of these make it into recycle projects, the majority still ends up in landfills and littering our countryside. Then there is the issue of the chemicals the bottles are made of getting into the bottled water.

For years I have used an under-the-counter reverse osmosis filtration unit in my kitchen for my main water source for cooking and drinking. Here is the one I use: Reverse osmosis
But when traveling I end up having to lug along numerous bottles of drinking water. I have one nice stainless steel water bottle, but when it is empty, out come the plastic bottles from Costco.

Now lets jump to another water innovation for health. Several years back someone figured out how to shift the pH of water to make it alkaline. This process goes under many names and electronic ionizers to do this run anywhere from $600 to several thousand. Alkaline water has been found to have many health benefits primarily because our American diet tends to create excess acid residue in our body. This acid tends to foul the health of the cells. The body does the best it can to neutralize these acids but this requires taking resources from other areas of the body to do this. For instance the body will steal calcium from bones to neutralize this excess acid which unfortunately leads to osteoporosis.

What causes excess acid from our diet? Meats, dairy, and grains all produce an acid overload in our body. To balance the acid in these foods you have to eat four times as many vegetables as you do these foods. An acid balanced diet is 80% vegetables and 20% meats and grains. Almost no one in our culture eats this way. Even vegetarians and vegans eat way to many grains compared to vegetables. So we all have to deal with an acid overload in our body.

One answer to this problem is to drink alkaline water. But the ionizers for making this water have always been expensive and awkward to set up - and completely non-portable. Studies have been done showing positive results in using alkaline water for stomach and digestive complaints, bone loss, blood pressure, and antioxidant benefits.

Just recently I was introduced to an answer for both the problems of the contaminated water coming from our taps and the acid overload in our bodies - a portable water bottle filtration system that also raises the pH. It is called the Purvela Personal Wellness Water System. It is being distributed by the same folks that I get my supplements from - Apex. The list of contaminants it removes is truly awesome, including all the radioactive elements. Go to this page to see the list - Contaminants

Even more amazing though is that this unit is a portable alkaline water maker. Fill it with tap water from anywhere and get pure clean drinking water that is 100 times more alkaline than normal tap water - a pH of 9.0. How simple can you get? One filter is good for making around 60 gallons of purified alkaline water. That works out to about 22 cents for each18 ounces - the size of the typical water bottle. That is cheaper than buying a case of water bottles at the store. The initial cost of the system including the super filter is only $129.95 and replacement filters are only $65. This is an incredible price for this technology. The simplicity and portability alone makes it worth the price. The system just became available and I got eight of these units in the office right now for those who would like one. If your body could use some pure water that also improves your health with an alkaline pH then come on by and pick one up.

Yours in health,

David

The Scientific 7-Minute Workout

High intensity interval training is coming up the winner in the studies of exercise physiology as the best way for us modern people to get significant physical strength and toning in the least amount of time. This program is 12 body weight exercises - each done for 30 seconds with a 10 second break in between each exercise. This is a valuable program because it does not require any gym equipment, and only takes 7 minutes to do. Do this 2 or 3 times a week and you will increase your strength, stamina, and coordination. Check out the link:

Nuts lower cancer, heart death risk

A study of 119,000 men and women has demonstrated that those who ate nuts daily had a 29% lower risk of death from heart disease and an 11% lower risk of death of death from cancer. Nuts have long been a key part of my diet - particularly in the form of nut flours, such as I use in my Dr Dave Protein Bread. I also like to soak whole nuts over night then slowly roast them at low temperatures for eating straight.

Sugar batteries

Plants store energy for later use in the form of sugar and starch. This is actually a form of chemical battery. Now a researcher has developed synthetic enzymes to be able to use sugar to make electricity for devices such as cell phones and laptops. This is much better than lithium batteries as the cost is less and nothing toxic is used in the batteries.

Our address is 9725 Fair Oaks Blvd.

Finding the new location is very easy. Coming from highway 50 up Sunrise Blvd, you turn left and go up a block. We are on the right hand side - the building just past the Subway Sandwich shop. If you are coming down Sunrise from the Mall area then just turn right on Fair Oaks Blvd and up a block on the right.

If you are coming from the Roseville area you could come down Sunrise Blvd, but that is a long trek. It is probably shorter time wise to come down Auburn Blvd - San Juan Ave like you have been for the Sunset office, but instead of turning left at Sunset, keep going straight 3 more lights to Fair Oaks Blvd and turn left. Go down 2 lights to New York Ave, go through the intersection, and immediately turn into the turn lane once the center divider ends. We are on the left.
