Are there any cautions about drinking alkaline ionized water?

You should start slowly. Set the controls to the lowest alkaline level. Assuming the water resonates with you, increase the amount you drink and the level of ionization intensity. High levels of alkalinity – up to 9.5 – 10.0 — are best for drinking water; the highest levels can be used for cooking.

In a few individuals, the detoxification effects from drinking alkaline ionized water can cause headaches and diarrhea for a short time. This is a very positive sign, because the body wanna get rid of all the toxins and lose toxic waste material in an "explosive" fashion. It is no real diarrhea; don’t take any diarrhea medication to suppress this effect.

And for some older people, ionized water can tend, at first, to open the bowels. This is why a slow start is advised. Use the "Purified Water" setting for taking any medications that your doctor advises not to be taken with alkaline water if you have to.

Do not drink the acid water! Having said all of the above, be aware that millions of Japanese have been drinking alkaline ionized water daily over the last 30 years. The water ionizer has been approved as a Household Medical Instrument by the government of Japan. In addition, test results on safety by the Welfare Ministry in Japan reveal no harmful influences on the body.

How to test the pH level?

Urine pH

The results of urine testing indicate how well your body is assimilating minerals, especially calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. These are called the "acid buffers" because they are used by the body to control the acid level. If acid levels are too high, the body will not be able to excrete acid. The Cancer risk is increasing! It must either store the acid in body tissues (auto-toxication) or buffer it – that is, borrow minerals from organs, bones, etc. in order to neutralize acidity.

Saliva pH

You may also want to test the pH of your saliva. The results of saliva testing indicate the activity of digestive enzymes in your body, especially the activity of the liver and stomach. This reveals the flow of enzymes running through your body and shows their effect on all the body systems. Some people will have acidic pH readings from both urine and saliva. This is referred to as "double acid." (most common in Cancer patients)

What is the effect of alkaline ionized water with cancer?

Cancer Cells cannot live in an alkaline, oxygenated environment…

"…the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar. All normal body veils meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs in great part be fermentation.

All normal body cells are thus obligate aerobes, whereas all cancer cells are partial anaerobes. From the standpoint of the physics and chemistry of life this difference between normal and cancer cells is so great that one can scarcely picture a greater difference. Oxygen gas, the donor of energy in plants and animals is dethroned in the cancer cells and replaced by an energy yielding reaction of the lowest living forms, namely, a fermentation of glucose."
