Is Alkaline Water Good for You? | A Kidney Doctor Explains

[@larinoriani]

I've had acid reflux for the last couple years, I started drinking alkaline water and it literally went away the day I started. Game changer for me.

[@Honeycomblife]

I was feeling bloated as heck and drinking normal water made it worse but alkaline water helps me burp and feel better. My functional Dr was condtto me when I mentioned it. There's no profit for them if it helps us! Only the water maker /grocery store

Alkaline water denatures pepsin in the throat tissues in cases of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) or respiratory reflux. This is a disorder not many doctors are educated on and most know nothing about. In cases of LPR, pepsin rises from the stomach in an aerosol and implants in the throat tissues causing a multitude of problems when anything acidic passes through the throat. In the presence of acid in food the pepsin begins digesting the throat tissues and causes an unpleasant burning itch. Alkaline water denatures the pepsin and brings relief. I agree that alkaline water does not impact the pH of the body as the stomach acids turn everything in the stomach acidic. However, for people suffering from respiratory reflux alkaline water is a godsend for relief of the painful itching.

And I like to inform you that from the time that I had my machine 20 years ago. Not a family or friend have died of cancer!!!. The reason is that when I heard about them being sick with cancer.I help help them alkaline their body. You have to understand cancer is as an overload in the body!. We as human beings have to deal with acid. For instance some people have acid reflux so bad that they have to go to the hospital. That's a form of acid in the body!!!!. Every now and then people have to grab a 7-Up soda to do what?.....eliminate the acid from the body!!!. Mostly everything that we eat have acid in it!!.. especially meat!!. I just help a friend of mine's husband was dying of cancer. He's been drinking this water for about a month and guess what.. he's doing fine today. So the machine definitely helps. I can tell you many more stories!!! They were never advertise Kangen Water alkaline water machine on television!. If it was advertised on television everyone will possibly have one!. But then hospitals wouldn't make any money. Because everyone will be healthy. And that's not what they want.

Yes and water get into body in just 5 minutes, while the stomach needs up to 45 mins to produce enough acid to lower pH to 3. It has not enough time to neutralize the alkaline water.

As we age, our bodies make less digestive enzymes. So it was extremely beneficial for me to start supplementing with them. I take a multi-pronged digestive enzyme supplement that contains Amylase for carbohydrates, Protease for proteins, Lipase for fats, Lactase for lactose in dairy, Cellulase for plant fibers, Papain from papayas, and Bromelain from pineapples. They are inexpensive, easy to get on Amazon or a vitamin store. They significantly improve all my acid reflux and digestion issues, incuding bloat and gas. Game changer for sure!

[@musabkara1684]

I asked AI :does alcali water becoming the same pH when it comes in contact with your stomach acid? and it answer this way. It makes sense because stomac can't produce acid out of nowhere: According to a blog post by TyentUSA Water Ionizer, the pH of the stomach is about 4, and it likes to stay there. When you drink alkaline water, the stomach secretes hydrochloric acid (HCl) to make it acidic again. The more alkaline water you drink, the more acid your stomach produces. However, through a series of chemical reactions, the byproducts of making hydrochloric acid are sodium bicarbonate (better known as baking soda) and potassium bicarbonate. These are alkaline buffers that neutralize excess acids in your blood. As they neutralize the solid acidic waste, your lungs expel the extra carbon dioxide. When reading what happens to alkaline water in the stomach, you may think that it never reaches the rest of your body. However, you have to look at the big picture. When you drink alkaline water, the result is that your whole body becoming more alkaline. When the body creates hydrochloric acid to digest our food, it also creates alkaline buffers which help raise the pH of our blood. So the more alkaline water we drink, the more acid is produced and the result of this process is a higher pH of our blood chansonalkalinewater.com/articles/alkaline-water-stomach-acid/

[@MysticAI-kv1db]

Since I began using betain HCL, I have not experienced acid reflux. Research indicates that this is because the stomach produces too little acid, which is necessary for optimal food digestion. and now I have been taking that HCL. I had never experienced acid reflux until I drank this alkaline water. I got acid reflux again.

[@somaticscholar8441]

Anything we ingest is mixed with stomach acid, and immediately becomes acidic, as we cannot alkalize the stomach. The alkalinity of our tissues seems to be more a result of our metabolic process and not from the pH of what we eat. Would anyone refute this? If so, can you point to any source of information that explains how alkalinity of food/drink could survive the acidity of the stomach and its digestive acid? I was on the alkaline diet before and this is what was presented to me, and Ive yet seen any explanation other than "theoretically".

Well I switched off from this 'doctor' as soon as he says, all well and good if these claims that it helps acid reflux for eg are true but isn't!!! Well hear it from someone who actually suffered with acid reflux... since drinking Kangen water, my acid reflux has all but dissapeared for the last 5 moths, and that I can state is true. Also I love the way it makes me feel, totally hydrated! I used to wake up many times during the night, with a very dry mouth, with my tongue sticking to the roof of my mouth and mouth feeling like sandpaper it was so dry, even though I'd be drinking 2 litres of water a day, but now I don't get this anymore! I feel much more hydrated now, and wouldn't change that for the world. We are made up of mostly water, and you can put chlorine infused, heavy metal, tap water, plastic chemicalled leeched bottled water which has sat for months and months in the hot and cold into your body or you can put Kangen water into your body, it's a no brainer for me having tried this water now. This is a disruptive technology and remember, success makes enemies from certain quarters! 1 in 3 hospitales in Japan have these water machines in!

[@tellitallnow3914]

So how about all the people suffering from acid reflux which thru my extensive research shows that these people don't have too much acid production happening in their gut, but TOO LITTLE stomach acid production in their gut. So they are eating ant-acids and taking PPIs to ease the symptoms of low stomach acid (Hypochlorhydria) ?? not realizing they are causing themselves long-term malnutrition from killing their stomachs ability to break down the foods they are eating, causing the food to sit in the 98.6 degree gut AND rot, causing gas, causing gerd, causing more acid reflux which calls for more ant acids and stronger PPIs.... Then they start drinking alkaline water further killing the stomachs ability to digest and break down the foods they are eating into the proteins so they can then be absorbed thru the intestines. Not saying alkaline water isn't good for people with diseases in certain cases. But the larger picture must be looked at. Especially the absolute root cause of acid indigestion, acid reflux, and gerd , which is from NOT STRONG ENOUGH STOMACH ACID. Production WHICH MUST BE 3 PH IN ORDER FOR THE LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER TO CLOSE, PREVENTING MOST IF NOT ALL SYMPTOMS OF ACID REFLUX, GERD. MAINSTREAM MEDICAL Drs are WAYYYY BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL AND THEY ARE LITERALLY KILLING THE PATIENTS SLOWLY FROM MALNUTRITION.

Normal creatinine for men is 0.7 - 1.3, so your creatinine is higher than normal. Normal GFR is usually around 90 -120, so your GFR is already much lower than normal. You don't want it to decrease even further. Your abnormal levels may mean that your transplant is failing. However, I encourage you to make an appointment with your doctor ASAP. He/she can give you much better advice than anyone on the internet. In fact, they should have explained your lab results to you at the time you received them, and shame on them if they didn't.

Thanks so much Malc for watching!

[@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast]

What's really crazy about all this is we have to take your word for it. And the word of whoever trained you and educated you. I don't really trust the people that educated you. Say one thing the industry wants is you sick the best way to do that would be to educate the doctors in a way that keeps everyone sick. If the war machine need wars to make profit then the hospitals need sick people. Nobody has more money then the pharmaceutical companies, nobody has a worst history of lawsuits, nobody has as many politicians in their pocket. So yeah we'll just take your word for it. Just seems odd so many make youtube videos shooting down this idea. Im not saying your purposefully misleading people. But i doubt youve ever done any realreach on your own. If you did, you'd have a different manner about this topic. Not saying one or the other is right, just that i dont trust the people who taught you what to say

Doctor work in kichen???😂😂😂😂

[@ronmor8237]

So if you have a pool that has low ph and you increase it by adding chemicals to it. 2nd of all just like you mentioned "our bodies are very good at balancing themselves...." So by you drinking alkaline then it will draw acidity from our bodies in order to get that "perfect balance" which is good...instead of all the junk food and other things we have in our generation. My common sense says alkalinity water is good....especially if you're saying that it can't cause any harm since our bodies regulate themselves. Basically what you're saying here is "eat and drink whatever junk you want...your stomach will regulate it perfectly..." Which i must disagree....i dont buy those alkaline water but i have reverse osmosis which i really enjoy drinking.

Lol what a stretch, that's not what he said at all lol

[@ronmor8237]

@@jazzycherokee869 explain, I'm no expert but what he said doesn't make too much sense...makes sense just not 100%

[@jameelahG86]

How much did the government pay you to make this video!!! You are talking nonsense!!!

[@rodan233]

Makes sense to me. What part mostly confused you?

[@haneefwelocity5638]

Not agree with u sir... Alkaline water better for health pH level 7.5 to 8.5. Coz available veg Or non veg has more toxic, environment toxic also damage cells

[@h.hickenanaduk8622]

Yeah, don't take advice from some random guy on the internet, take advice from some random doctor who just my have some skin in the game about keeping people sick. Nice try, doc, but I'm not helping you make your boat payments. NEXT!!!!!!
