Today, we’re going to talk about the potential dangers and benefits of alkaline water.
Natural water from a well or spring is alkaline. It’s alkaline because it contains minerals like calcium and magnesium.
Many people believe that things that are acidic are unhealthy and things that are alkaline are healthy. But that’s not altogether true. We have a lot of different acids in our bodies that have many important functions.
We don’t need to worry about alkalizing the body. The body regulates the pH in different areas. For example, your blood should be slightly alkaline, but your stomach should be very acidic.
It’s possible to get alkaline water created by a machine that uses electricity to alter it instead of using minerals to alkalize it. If you drink alkaline water that's created artificially, you’re going to alter the pH in the stomach.
Potential side effects of alkaline water made artificially can include:
• Heartburn
• Acid reflux
• Gas
• GERD
• Infection
• Hair loss
• Heart arrhythmias
However, natural water, like alkaline spring water, has no side effects.
Alkalizing the stomach could lead to a deficiency in stomach acids. The stomach should be very acidic to help you break down protein, absorb minerals and vitamin B12, and kill pathogens. As we age, we lose stomach acid.
Antacids also weaken stomach acid. But, low stomach acid is the root cause of symptoms like heartburn, GERD, and acid reflux. Alkalizing the stomach instead of acidifying it could worsen these symptoms and lead to many other serious side effects.
I’ve found that I can digest better when I drink acidic water, like carbonated water-especially if I add a teaspoon of either apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.
Overall, alkaline water has certain health benefits because it contains minerals. But alkaline water is only beneficial if it’s natural and not created by a machine.

Hi Sir, I am from India. I was using artificial alkaline membrane since 2 years in my water purifier to reduce acidity. However drinking that water increased acid reflux, gas, indigestion problems, small intestines problems, ibd, autoimmune disorders. Also Started feeling allergies like nerve weakness, muscle twitching immediately after drinking that water. Since then i was trying to investigate what was causing issue in my body. This video is a life saver for me. I Uninstalled that alkaline membrane and started drinking RO purified normal ph water. All the problems mentioned above are gone from day1. Hats off and many thanks to you. You are a life saver.

[@IDJOT]

In order to maintain the acidic level in the stomach after injesting alkaline 9.5 kangen, your body has a buffer system that requires sodium chloride to be produced in the blood to regulate your stomatch acidic levels back to normal. Sodium produces alkalinity in our blood, but because our blood pH needs to be between 7.35 and 7.45, it sends alkalinity to our tissues, which results in cellular hydration/alkalinity. Today's doctors are simply too lazy or too busy to study.

[@larryfer4526]

Dr Berg your reasoning seems very sound however when I met with someone promoting alkaline water, I was told that an individual who started drinking it was able to eliminate chronic acid reflux. This seems to contradict your message and I would be very interested in your thoughts.

[@ThePremierZ]

@@larryfer4526it depends what whether the water is living or dead they could easily be drinking dead alkaline water those are made with baking soda/powder it’s one of the 2 but that will calm the acidity in your stomach where living alkaline water wouldn’t theoretically do that I’m actually about to make myself a lab rat bc the dead alkaline water I drink helps with my stomach acid reflux I have a very over reactive acid reflux so if you’re curious I’ll lyk how that goes

[@joychapman4786]

Hello Dr. Berg! I found your video about "The Dangers and Benefits of Alkaline Water" very interesting and educational. One thing I try to do is take care of my health. I have Epilepsy Seizures which was hereditary from my father's side of the family in which I have both petit mal and grand mal seizures. Also, I have stomach ulcer, acid reflux, and high triglycerides. I take prescription medications for all of these specific conditions. I used to work in a warehouse and ended up having a seizure on the job. My previous neurologist/epileptologist mentioned to me that I was drinking the wrong type of water. This is what was offered at my old job at the time in the warehouse. They either would provide the brands of Dasani, Aquafina, and/or Crystal Geyser. I lived in a different state at the time when my seizure occurred. He told me that a person with Epilepsy Seizures is supposed to drink Alkaline Water or PH balanced water. I moved to a different state back in 2022 and currently do a remote job sitting down as an ESL Teacher and Academic Tutor. I do walk everywhere by exercising just to let you know. I was informed by a medical professional the following things: "Alkaline Water can raise your blood pressure due to it having sodium in it." Some questions I have for you are as follows: Is it true that Alkaline Water has sodium in it? Is it true that Alkaline Water can raise your blood pressure? What do you think is the best type of water for me to drink due to my health condition? The only reason I switched to drinking alkaline water was so that way my seizures would stay under control, have enough electrolytes in my body, and I would stay hydrated. Many times when I have drunk Drinking Water, Purified Drinking Water, or Mountain Spring Water this hasn't kept me hydrated enough. All the seizures I have had previously were mostly because of either me already being dehydrated, having dehydration beforehand, or due to stress. What are your suggestions and recommendations?

[@qhride1]

Hi Dr Berg always watch your vlogs they are so well explained to make us aware how to nurture and look after our bodies as it’s our only vessel we have so why not keep it well oiled and maintained 😊I would love to see a vlog on chemical sprays on mass produced foods , although I grow as much food as possible ,but in winter i buy my salads from the store and on one of the package said “ not washed in chlorinated water” this got me thinking is my salads hydroponic not in soil or if sprayed if in soil? I always wash my food regardless but I have herd submerging in water with white vinegar can help remove any chemicals? Would love your thoughts ?😌

[@whitGGG]

Thank you for this video. I was about to buy some based upon another doctor’s advice.

[@rebekahgarcia4126]

I love your channel and have learned a lot from you. I'm all about health. Thank you so much. I totally agree with everything you said with artificially alkalizing your water with ingredients like sodium bicarbonate (an ingredient in so many 'alkaline' bottled waters) but when electricity is used alone, it creates a condescend amount of ionic minerals which are bioavailable and easily flushed from the system if not needed. So many positive scientific studies on "Electrolyzed Reduced Water", i was curious if you had read them and noted the difference?

Hello Dr. Berg. I love your videos because they are informative and helpful. I recently purchased a Kangen water machine and I am attempting to assess how my body feels differently after two months. The purchase was not inexpensive and the time has passed to return the machine. I wish I had seen your video before purchasing this very expensive machine.

I own a Kangen machine as well , I’m not a distributor. I’m an end user and I will say this kangen water isn’t just “alkaline” water , it’s hydrogen molecular water which is a lot different! Reason why Japanese hospitals use them.

[@chrislee7877]

I agree with dr Berg some of our organs should be acidic , but like I said Kangen is hydrogen molecular water . And there’s benefits in drinking hydrogen molecular water.

[@MISSIONCAT11]

Thank you for shining light on many fads that people are getting involved with. My take on electrifying water is the possible problem of sintering. For example, when colloidal silver is made, two silver wires are immersed in water and a current is passed between the wires. When the electrons leave the wire and go into the water, some silver atoms "sinter" off and enter the water with the electron current. This creates a so-called "gas" of silver atoms in the water, because the silver atoms are free and not clumped in a crystal form. At one time, colloidal silver was used as an antiseptic for eye surgery. The absorption of the colloidal silver "gas" by the body is said to be 100%. Silver is not toxic to human cells. If they use stainless steel as an electrode to make alkaline water, what sinters off is iron, chromium, and nickel atoms. You have probably spoken to chromium and iron as supplements. However nickel is not a supplement, I believe it is a poison in the human body.

Hello Dr B. - I have just started watching your videos and the video about Alkaline water made sense of what I have been through. At the beginning of the month I rode to town with my mom to pay her Bills and she stopped by a church blessing box to put some canned food in but she couldn't put all the canned food in the blessing box because someone had put a couple of containers of the Alkaline drinking water on the shelf and she removed the water and put it in the back floor of her vehicle. While I was riding around with her paying bills it was very Hot that day and I just reached around and got one of the containers of Alkaline water and I opened it and took about 4 gulps of it to drink something. I have never tried it before and it had a very bad taste. I poured the remaining liquid out and didn't think about it anymore that day. The next morning my stomach was hurting really bad and I went into the bathroom to take a bowl movement and when I stood up from the toilet and turned to flush it I looked down in the toilet and got scared. My bowl movement looked dark grey and I thought that it didn't look right. The next morning when I had another bowl movement and looked into the toilet bowl I really got the shock of my life because my bowl movement was Black. I told my family doctor about it and she gave me a prescription for some medicine to heal up my stomach. I started the medicine but the Digested Blood was still in the toilet the next morning. I've had the Gastric Bypass surgery and each month I've had to go to the Cancer Center and get my B - 12 and my Iron levels checked and luckily I had an appointment to see the doctor a few days later and I went to him and told him what my bowl movements looked like and I asked him to do a scan of my Colon to see if there was Cancer present in my Colon. He didn't hesitate to line up the Cat Scan. I got that done and he said that it doesn't show any cancer in my colon. I told him that I had a issue a little while back with Polyps and had some removed. I've made a appointment with my Gastro doctor to do a Colonoscopy and also the upper scope to look for bleeding Polyps. I'm all set for next Monday morning to get the Colonoscopy done and the upper scope down into my stomach pouch. There was a lot of blood being passed in my bowl movements for 3weeks. Right now the bleeding is spotty and I told the Gastro doctor to find the problem and stop the bleeding. Cancer was the first thing I thought of when I seen the amount of blood present in my bowl movements. I believe that the doctor will find more than one polyp bleeding when I go to the hospital next Monday morning at 8am

Hello Dr. Berg, Good day to you and your family. My 1st point is having carbonated water which has iodised salt that is bad for health which you described in one of your older videos but i had a Better idea on your opinion of drinking alkaline water ...which is that you said from the spring which is not obviously available in our backyard like yours then i had a idea of boiling the water and adding himalyan pink salt to alkaline it. So is this a good idea of adding himalyan pink salt and drinking it often in the day instead of drinking it only while working out?🤷🏻 Thank you for all the amazing information to the world that you provide.

[@ix_conscious_xi]

great information, thanks for sharing. I stopped drinking alkaline water awhile back, but when I bought it. I made sure it was natural. I wonder what you found on reverse osmosis and triple filtered water?? I started buying and drinking these types of water in most recent years.

[@michellemobakeng5938]

I had been drinking from a Brita water pitcher for years but in 2022, I sought to upgrade to a countertop. after researching from a link reviewing various options and prices, I decided to try Alkaline water, 3 filter counter top unit - pH recharge. Friends told me the water taste nice. Under the heading of the company's booklet WHY ALKALINE WATER?, it says: "Unlike ionization machines using an electrical current, the naturally structured and ionized water from Invigorated Water's filters provides a long lasting effect. A key function of ionizing water is to change your waters current from positive to negative... The goal with Alkaline Water is not to make you Alkaline, etc. As we are constantly consuming food and drink that is acidic ... by drinking water that is pH 8 and above, our bodies can naturally heal...." Just thinking, acidic foods come from takeaways, readymade meals, and frequent eating out but I seldom eat junk foods. I have just bought new refills. Right now, I don't know what to think. Should I do a litmus test for a month? Read the reviews? ...

I was just looking at getting a water distiller. I have issues with brain fog and it's awesome to know that a making distilled water helps with that! I know there other benefits but having a clear mind and increased energy is a major plus! 😊

My Enagic Kangen machine, I do put minerals, there is a knob I can pull out and pour a packet of minerals. Also my machine makes 2.5 - 11.5 I can drink 7.5 normal water. My machine makes 2.5 acid water to disinfect to clean counters and floors or make up to 11.5 alkaline water to wash vegetables. 🌻

[@mrslinajackson7775]

@@lokendrabhati1808 I love my machine, purchased in 2016, one of my best investments besides my stainless steal waterless cookware. 🙂

The alkaline osmosis water filter system I have replaces minerals, but I will contact the company to find out more on Monday. It's a good thing I add lemon juice into water each day. Thanks so much.

[@TheDude10k]

May we please get an updated, sponsor-free video on making distilled water with added minerals? If you make it please include links for different product price points. Thank you Dr. Berg!!

Other than vitamin C, antioxidants and fasting, how do you personally keep your skin so bright

Was drinking my 7.4 PH water while watching this video. It has added minerals. Now, I'm wondering if I should get a more acidic brand, or just add lemon to it. It doesn't bother my stomach, but who knows if it's adversely affecting my body? Could be. Thanks, Dr.Berg, this is an important and informative video. ❤

[@Beniamin6665]

That’s not what he said… The natural way of making alkaline water is the best way period. Over alkalinity is bad..

[@LDiamondz]

@@Beniamin6665 OK, thanks. I'll have to watch this one again. 👍

[@verobullock5819]

Thank you Doc Berg 😊

[@Drberg]

You're most welcome!

I have end stage renal disease. A new dr prescribed selenium bicarbonate pills due to me being too acidic. I didn't take them, and instead I started drinking orange juice, upped my lemon juice in water, and increased vegetable intake in general. My next blood test had better Ph. I was told to avoid orange juice by my first dialysis center, but now I know better. I still urinate though, so maybe that's why I don't have a problem with getting too much phosphorous from orange juice. i can't drink dr pepper though, or my phosphorous will be too high.

My brother got VERY ILL because he was drinking only alkaline water and had to go to the doctor - don’t be a noob people! 💚☘️💚

[@XOChristianaNicole]

Yep. I knew someone who ended up with very painful impacted bowels, from drinking so much Kangan water. She could hardly even get out of bed - yet, absolutely refused to stop drinking the water.

[@5fmuke535]

Thank you Dr. Berg👑🏆

[@Drberg]

Anytime!

[@user-xm6ro1ep5d]

So which water brands should I drink?

[@debra7449]

@Dr. Berg, what kind of water should I drink, if I already had my gallbladder out? And I am currently suffering from Gerd, and Constipation.

[@mohammedmoosa4061]

I love your content, major eye openers. I do suffer from bloating, heart burn and the others you've mentioned and I drink alkaline water daily, however, the water I drink is dosed with himalayan salt. Does this mean the added minerals are not enough?

[@vivarantx]

just drink regular

[@dumblizzie]

Love your educational videos. I get my water from a local Spring, I have never consumed alkaline water because it has an electrical current running through it and it's not NATURAL. Nature wins❤❤

[@sgtsjsq4244]

QUESTION: is drinking baking soda and water beneficial? Thank you your information is amazing to help keep us body and mind healthy 😊

[@dianasimplifies]

Some say drink it for reflux but I have pretty bad reflux and drinking it makes me very sick. 😢

[@CascadeRailfanSoFlo]

Drinking baking soda is very bad as it will alter the stomach's ph.

[@LDiamondz]

My father drank baking soda and water every night, for indigestion/heart burn, and it worked for him. No side effects. Just a teaspoon in water.

[@LDiamondz]

​@@dianasimplifiesYeah, the same thing happened to me when I tried it a few times for GERD. Nearly vomited every time. Too bad, as it worked great for my father.

[@asud2571]

Dr Berg what is your take on Kangen water?

[@b.thesheshetheb.5014]

is there a otc water you would recommend? I have been drinking essentia for years now and feel the need to switch to fiji. is this a good brand? any help is appropriated. thank you…

[@mayo4rus]

Great video....I've been experimenting with alkaline water 9.5+ for almost a year now.... And using my Garmin and whoop devices I've seen a hike in my hrv levels which in turn boosts my recoveries.... I'm going to give carbonated water a go... But wondering if youve seen any research studying the effect on alkaline water on hrv levels

Is it ok to add Celtic salt , baking soda and boron to water? It’s trending on social media but I’m skeptical 🤨
