Alkaline Water Promises Body Benefits | Latest News | KVUE.com
By SHELLY SLATER
Our bodies are 70 percent water; that's why drinking H2O is so important.
But there are some who say it's not just the water, but the type of water that's so important.
Users say alkaline water is changing their bodies from the inside out; but does it really work?
Pat Darby is just back from chemotherapy. She's in Round 3 in her fight against the cancer diagnosed about four years ago.
Darby's first task when she gets home: getting a glass of water. But this isn't just any water; it's alkaline water, designed to neutralize acids in your body.
"I feel like I should feel like crap, but I don't," she said. "Actually, I feel like I'm about 20 years younger."
With more energy, she says the side effects of cancer are easier to control.
"Everything about me is just alive," Darby said.
Dr. Laura Precourt says it all comes down to your pH level, which reflects the amount of acid in your body.
"It allows the body to heal itself from the inside out," she said.
As we drink sodas and eat junk food, Dr. Precourt sais acidity builds up; some reasearchers believe disease is caused by too much acid in the body.
Alkaline water is supposed to neutralize that.
"A lot of these bottled waters we drink, we think we're drinking healthy water, but some of it is really acidic," Dr. Precourt said.
The difference can be observed by using a dye that tests pH levels.
Red indicates the most acidic beverages, like carbonated soft drinks. Alkaline water is purple, at the other end of the spectrum.
"When you first start drinking the water, you have to go through a detoxification," Dr. Precourt explained. "You're finally getting rid of the toxins."
The concept can be illustrated using tomatoes rinsed in separate bowls — one containing tap water, the other alkaline water.
The alkaline water pulls out a yellowish debris that tap water doesn't get.
Dr. Precourt says the body goes through a similar process, and getting rid of debis makes you healthier. "I have seen cirrhosis go away, excema go away, skin clearing up, constipation be relieved," she said.
After one week of drinking alkaline water, one patient said his diabetes numbers were back in check. A woman said she lost five pounds in the first week and that her swelling and migraines are gone.
While alkaline water has been used in Japenese hospitals for more than 30 years, many experts call it a gimmick.
A study printed in the Journal of the American Medical Association failed to find scientific proof that alkaline water works..Some doctors -- call it "nonsense," saying your body needs no help adjusting its pH level unless you have kidney issues.
But tell that to Pat Darby, whose seen a 180 degree shift in how she looks and feels.
The benefits convinced her to buy a $2,000 alkaline filter that ionizes the water at home. It should last 15 years.
"It's an ionization process," Dr. Precourt explained, showing how the water flows past titanium-platinum plates. She said the water gives people like Darby a second chance to live life at its fullest.
"It is nature's most wonderful liquid there is, so why not?" Darby asked.
