The Importance of Drinking Alkaline Water

75% of the human body is alkaline water at 7.3 to
7.4 pH. Some believe that alkaline water may be the
most powerful healing substance ever known to man.
Each day 2.5 liters of alkaline water is lost through
normal bodily functions. By the time you feel thirsty,
the damage has already occurred. The more you know
about how important alkaline water is to your health,
the more you will understand why drinking alkaline
pH Miracle Living Water is the most important decision
you can make today for your health.

Water & Metabolism

• Even MILD dehydration will slow down the body’s
metabolism as much as 3%.

Water & Energy Level

• Lack of alkaline water is the number one trigger of
daytime fatigue.

• Research has shown that a 5% drop in body fluids
will cause a 25-30% loss of energy in most people,
a 15% drop causes death.

Water & Colon Health

• Drinking the equivalent of 5 glasses of alkaline
water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer
by 45%.

Water & Breast Health

• Drinking the equivalent of 5 glasses of alkaline
water a day decreases the risk of breast cancer
by 79%.

Water & Weight Loss

• Optimizing alkaline water intake allows the body
to drop 4 or 5 pounds the first week because it
improves bodily functions allowing the body to
eliminate stored acidic fat.

Water & Skin

• Lack of alkaline water and aging makes our skin
become drier. Proper hydration is vital to keeping
skin looking smooth, healthy and young.

Water & the Brain

• 85% of brain tissue is alkaline water and
dehydration causes energy generation in the
brain to decrease.

• Dehydration has been linked to depression and
chronic fatigue syndrome.

Water & Joints

• Dehydrated cartilage increases friction forces
to the joints, resulting in joint deterioration
and pain.

Water & Back Pain

• The alkaline water stored in your spinal disc
core supports approximately 75% of the upper
body’s weight and is dependent on the hydraulic
effects of water stored there.

Water & Pregnancy

• Morning sickness can be caused by or become
more intense when dehydrated. It’s a signal
being sent by the fetus to the mother’s body
that it needs more alkaline water.

Water & Blood

• Lack of alkaline water causes a thickening of the
blood making it difficult for the heart to pump
and also shuts down capillaries making it difficult
for nutrients to get to vital organs.

Water & Asthma

• Histamine levels increase with dehydration.

Insulin Pumps for Type I Diabetes May Cause Injury or Even Death

Insulin pumps are used by tens of thousands of
teenagers worldwide with Type 1 diabetes, but
they can be risky and have been linked to
injuries and even deaths, a review by federal
regulators finds.

Parents should be vigilant in watching their
children's use of the pumps, researchers from
the Food and Drug Administration wrote. They
didn't advise against using the devices. But
they called for more study to address safety
concerns in teens and even younger children
who use the popular pumps.

The federal review of use by young people over
a decade found 13 deaths and more than 1,500
injuries connected with the pumps. At times,
the devices malfunctioned, but other times,
teens were careless or took risks, the study
authors wrote.

Some teens didn't know how to use the pumps
correctly, dropped them or didn't take good care
of them. There were two possible suicide attempts
by teens who gave themselves too much insulin,
according to the analysis.

The pumps are popular because they allow young
people to live more normal lives, giving themselves
insulin discreetly in public and buffering the acids
from an acidic meal with friends late at night. "And
they're a growing segment of diabetes care, with
$1.3 billion in annual sales worldwide," said Kelly
Close, a San Francisco-based editor of a patient
newsletter. She said 100,000 teenagers may be
using them.

The pumps are used for those with Type 1 diabetes,
which accounts for about 5 to 10 percent of all
diabetes cases and used to be called "juvenile
diabetes." The more common form is Type 2, which
is often linked to an acidic lifestyle and diet
causing obesity and more often affects adults.

Insulin pumps are the size of a cell phone and
worn on a belt or pocket. They send insulin
into the body through a plastic tube with a
small tip that inserts under the skin and is
taped in place. They cost about $6,000 and
supplies run $250 a month. Most health
insurers cover much of the cost.

Users must tell the device how much insulin to
give before each meal, based on the estimated
carbohydrates in the meal. The devices also
deliver a continuous low level of insulin.

In the FDA study, appearing in the May issue
of the journal Pediatrics, the reports of
adverse events and deaths in adolescents
using the pumps occurred from 1996-2005.

While some teenagers want to switch from
insulin injections to pump therapy to gain
more flexibility in their lives, doctors said
device problems such as a blocked tube can
lead quickly to dangerous episodes of high
acid blood sugar.

"In a matter of a few hours, all the insulin
in the body disappears. Metabolically, the
child starts to spiral out of control," said
Dr. John Buse, the American Diabetes Association's
president for medicine and science. Kids need
to be aware of the risk, monitor their blood
sugar and be ready to give themselves an
insulin injection.

Dr. Christina Luedke of Children's Hospital
Boston said she carefully screens teenagers
and their families before prescribing a pump.
She has refused it for some young patients.

"Without appropriate glucose monitoring, the
pumps can increase the risk of getting sick
more quickly compared to injections," Luedke
said. However, she said, proper use makes life
more bearable and can improve glucose control.

Teenagers also have problems keeping their
diabetes under control with multiple daily
insulin injections, doctors and manufacturers
said.

"It is a constant struggle for a patient who
is an adolescent to stay in control of any therapy,"
said Steve Sabicer, a spokesman for Minneapolis-
based Medtronic Inc., which makes the top-selling
insulin pump. The company stands behind the product's
safety and "the many years of clinical evidence
that support the benefits of insulin pump therapy,"
he said.

"The key to balancing acidic blood sugars is by
changing acidic lifestyle and dietary choices. The
need for insulin will then be significantly reduced
or in many cases eliminated with an alkaline lifestyle
and diet. Therefore, the need or the risk of using
an insulin pump is greatly reduced or eliminated,"
states Dr.Robert O. Young, a research scientist at
the pH Miracle Living Center.

No More Type I or Type II Diabetes

The following is an unsolicited testimony from
Rhonda Bowen concerning her once Type I diabetic
child.

=================================================

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and
has been eating a raw live food diet for a year now.
She has normal blood sugars. She eats lots of
delicious foods. I check her urine pH multiple
times a day to keep her body balanced and alkaline.

When I learned about raw foods I also learned of
the importance of the acid/alkaline balance. The
body's pH is a delicate alkaline balance that needs
to be maintained through proper hydration and
nutrition. Because of Dr. Robert O. Young my daughter
is no longer diabetic and truely a pH miracle. If a
7 - now 8 year old can eat all healthy foods anyone
can!!! I believe Type I diabetes can be reversed.

Rhonda Bowen

====================================================

Dr. Robert O. Young of the pH Miracle Living Center
states, "diabetes is an inflammatory condition caused
by an acidic lifestyle and diet. When dietary and
metabolic acids are properly buffered and eliminated
inflammation of the pancreas and bowels are
reduced and/or eliminated. When this happens
no more Type I or Type II diabetes."

To learn more about how to prevent or reverse
Type I or Type II Diabetes read Dr. Young's
book, The pH Miracle for Diabetes.

Education Not Medication

"There is no scientific proof of the safety
or the effectiveness of drugs and/or vaccinations.

According to the journal, BMJ Clinical Evidence,
about 2,500 drug treatments offered in
conventional medicine produce the following
results (including the latest drug killer,
Heparin):

1) 13 percent are beneficial to the patient

2) 23 percent are likely to be beneficial

3) 8 percent is a trade-off between benefits
and harm

4) 6 percent are unlikely to be beneficial

5) 4 percent are likely to be ineffective or
harmful, and

6) 46 percent have unknown effectiveness.

There is a 64% risk that the drug or the vaccine
treatment you or your child receive will cause harm,
will be ineffective or may have unknown side-effects.

The leading cause of death in America is not Cancer - NO!
It is not Heart Disease - NO! It is not diabetes - NO!
The leading cause of death in America is caused by

Education on how to maintain the alkaline design of the
body and prevent ALL sickness and dis-ease!

Say NO TO ALL DRUGS! Let your food be your medicine and
your medicine be your food, as stated by Hippocrates.

The safe and effective way to have health, energy
and vitality is to simply maintain the alkaline

Ask Dr. Young - High Blood Pressure and Hair Loss

The following is an unsolicited pH Miracle testimony
and a health question concerning brittle nails and
hair loss.

=====================================================

I'm happy to say that I have been off of high blood
pressure meds since March 28 this year (after having
been on them for more than 15 years)! My pressure
readings aren't exactly where I want them yet on
arising, but with a more alkaline diet, your
supplements (pHour salts, imflamex--for bursitis--,
multi vit/min, greens & pH drops) and exercise daily
(walking or treadmill or recumbent bike and rebounder),
the numbers come down during the day. Thank you for
the work you do!

Here lately I notice that my nails are brittle and
breaking and I'm combing out a lot of my hair. Can
you recommend any supplements that might help me
with that?

Beatrice

Dear Beatrice:

======================================================

From Dr. Young:

To improve the health of your hair and nails you need
more chlorophyll, minerals salts - especially silica,
alkaline water and 2 to 3 ounces of long chain poly-
unsaturated fats - avocado oil, olive oil, hemp oil,
flax oil, primrose oil, just to name a few. I would
also suggest our Young pHorever Shampoo and
Conditioner.

Don't forget to leave the shampoo in for 5 to 10
minutes and you do not have to rinse out all the
conditioner. You will find that coconut and
avocado that are contained in the shampoo and
conditioner will help the quality and quantity
of your hair.

I call this plan C.O.W.S.

C = chlorophyll - Liquid Chlorophyll
O = oil and oxygen - avocado oil and pomegranate oil
W = water that is alkaline at 9.5
S = sea salts - pHour salts, pHlush salts, pHlavor
salts and Zip Spice Hunter salts. Also, I would
suggest ordering the Young pHorever shampoo and
conditioner.

To order the C.O.W.S. Plan Nutritional Products for
high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, weight gain,
weight loss, anti-aging and hair loss, go to:

Eating or Drinking Dairy Causes Obesity

There have been recent claims that dairy products
can help people lose weight, and the dairy industry
has hyped the assertion by investing millions of
dollars in commercial advertising. However, a new
review of the evidence published in the Journal
Nutrition Reviews reveals that neither dairy nor
calcium intake promotes weight loss.

Amy Joy Lanou of the University of North Carolina at
Asheville and Neal Barnard with the Physicians Committee
for Responsible Medicine in Washington, DC, evaluated
evidence from 49 clinical trials from 1966 to 2007
that assessed the effect of milk, dairy products, or
calcium intake on body weight and BMI, with or without
the use of dieting.

Evidence from the trials showed that neither dairy
products nor calcium supplements helped people lose
weight. Of the 49 clinical trials, 41 showed no effect,
two demonstrated weight gain, one showed a lower rate
of weight gain, and only five showed weight loss.

An association between calcium or dairy intake and
weight loss seen in some observational studies may
be attributable to other factors, such as exercise,
decreased soda intake, lifestyle habits, or increased
fiber, fruit, and vegetable intake.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/phruits.htm
http://www.phmiracleliving.com/vibratrim.htm

“Our findings demonstrate that increasing dairy product
intake does not consistently result in weight or fat
loss and may actually have the opposite effect,” the
authors conclude.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist
at the pH Miracle Living Center, in San Diego, California,
"dairy products are a major contributor to dietary
acidosis which leads to obesity. The major acids from
dairy products that contribute to obesity are casein and
lactose. You cannot lose acidic weight if your are
drinking or eating dairy products, including milk,
cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt and ice cream. They
are too acidic and will cause the body to hold on
to fat to protect the organs that sustain life."

Dietary and Metabolic Acids Lead to Obesity and Heart Dis-ease

Heart specialists at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere
report what is believed to be the first wide-scale
evidence linking severe overweight to prolonged
acidic inflammation of heart tissue and the subsequent
damage leading to failure of the body’s blood-pumping
organ.

The latest findings from the Multiethnic Study of
Atherosclerosis (MESA), to be published in the May 6
issue of the Journal of the American College of
Cardiology, appear to nail down yet one more reason
for the estimated 72 million obese American adults
to be concerned about their health, say scientists
who conducted the research.

“The biological effects of obesity on the heart
are quite profound,” says senior study investigator
João Lima, M.D. “Even if obese people feel otherwise
healthy, there are measurable and early chemical signs
of damage to their heart, beyond the well-known
implications for diabetes and high blood pressure.”

He adds that there is “now even more reason for them
to lose weight, increase their physical activity and
improve their eating habits.”

In the latest study, researchers conducted tests and
tracked the development of heart failure in an
ethnically diverse group of nearly 7,000 men and women,
age 45 to 84, who were enrolled in the MESA study,
starting in 2000.

Of the 79 who have developed congestive heart failure
so far, 35 (44 percent) were physically obese, having
a body mass index, or BMI, of 30 or greater. And
on average, obese participants were found to have
higher blood levels of interleukin 6, C-reactive
protein and fibrinogen, key immune system proteins
involved in acidic inflammation, than non-obese
adults.

A near doubling of average interleukin 6 levels
alone accounted for an 84 percent greater risk of
developing heart failure in the study population.

The researchers from five universities across the
United States also found alarming links between
acidic inflammation and the dangerous mix of heart
disease risk factors known as the metabolic syndrome.
Its combined risk factors for heart disease and
diabetes - high blood pressure, elevated blood glucose
levels, excess abdominal fat and abnormal cholesterol
levels, and particularly obesity - double a person’s
chances of developing heart failure.

“More practically, physicians need to monitor their
obese patients for early signs of inflammation in the
heart and to use this information in determining how
aggressively to treat the condition,” says Lima, a
professor of medicine and radiology at the Johns
Hopkins University School of Medicine and its Heart
Institute.

“Our results showed that when the effects of other
known disease risk factors - including race, age, sex,
diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, family history
and blood cholesterol levels - were statistically
removed from the analysis, inflammatory chemicals
in the blood of obese participants stood out as key
predictors of who got heart failure,” says Lima.

“Both obesity and the inflammatory markers are
closely tied to each other and to heart failure,”
says lead researcher Hossein Bahrami, M.D., M.P.H.

"Each year, nearly 300,000 Americans die from heart
failure. The major contributing causative factor is
an acidic lifestyle and diet," states Dr. Robert
O. Young, a research scientist at the pH Miracle
Living Center.

According to Dr. Young, "obesity is the body's way
of protecting itself from an over-acidic lifestyle
and diet. People who are over-weight are in reality
over-acid. The body holds on to fat to park excess
dietary and metabolic acids that are not properly
being eliminated through urination, perspiration,
defecation, and respiration. Fat is protective
and not the cause of acidic metabolic syndrome that
can lead to heart dis-ease and the presence of
alkaline buffers in the blood such as fibrinogen,
cholesterol, C-reactive protein and interleukin."

"Obesity is not the problem - dietary and metabolic
acids are the cause of acidic metabolic syndrome
and the increase in heart attacks. Fat is saving
preserving life and acid is destroying the quality and
quantity of life. If one wants to prevent or reduce
the risk for heart attack or stroke then one must
maintain the alkaline design of the body. When
this is done the body naturally lets go of the
excess protective fat that is holding onto dietary
and metabolic acids. This is how you protect the
heart and other organs that sustain life," states
Dr. Young.
