It’s easy to focus on food and where to get it on the Paleo Diet. Water is just as important as food when it comes to health. The human body is more than 60% water and needs it for everything from good digestion to healthy skin. Water contaminated with any kind of toxins or chemicals […]

The Herxheimer Reaction
We are posting this because after 20 years’ experience we know that many people will have this happen to them when they change their daily health regimen, including beginning to alkalize. The Herxheimer Reaction is a short-term (from days to a few weeks) detoxification reaction in the body. As the body detoxifies, it may experience flu-like symptoms […]
Magnesium and Vitamin D
Or… Why I wash my vitamin D capsules down with Alkaline Booster A teaspoon of Alkaline Booster contains 190 mg of magnesium. It is there because it’s one of the minerals the body uses in maintaining optimal pH. But it does a lot of other things in the body as well. I learned this morning […]
Saturation Point of Hydrogen in Water
General information The saturation point of Hydrogen (H2) gas in water at room temperature with no external force (pressure) is just under 1.6 mg/L or 1.6 parts per million (ppm). Typically most ionizers machines operating under no pressure will only get a fraction of this, with well-maintained ionizers often retaining levels as low as 0.1 […]
Alkaline Foods
What’s the best way to get alkaline? Drinking natural Alkaline Water (such as UltraStream water) is considered safe since it contains natural Alkaline minerals. USA made shipped from California. However, you should use caution with artificial Alkaline Water from electronic ionizers, which likely contains fewer minerals necessary for good health than its high pH would […]
Fluoride In Drinking Water
Is Fluoridated Drinking Water Safe? Mineral fluoride in our community drinking water supply has been debated ever since it was introduced back in the mid-1940s with the aim to prevent tooth decay. The evidence is mounting that in an era of fluoridated toothpaste and other dental health consumer products, the potential risks from consuming fluoridated […]
Buffered vs. Unbuffered pH
Buffered vs. Unbuffered The difference between buffer and unbuffered is that buffer is a solution used to stabilize the pH (acidity) of a liquid while unbuffered is whose pH is not stabilized with a buffer. The human body is buffered, so is pool water and aquariums. Buffered means there are mineral concentrations (buffering material) that […]
Water Alkalinity and pH explained
pH vs. Alkalinity It’s important to understand pH and alkalinity are not the same things. Alkalinity is a measurement of the concentration of minerals in a solution (buffering material) while pH is measuring the hydrogen potential. Alkalinity requires a change in mineral content, pH can be increased by chemical reaction. You can have water with […]
pH test strips vs Litmus paper
General Chemicals and solutions are often classified as being acidic, basic or neutral. These properties are determined by the pH scale, which ranges from 0 to 14. Low pH values are considered acidic, high values are called basic and values around 7 are neutral. People need to measure the pH because it affects most life […]
PFA’s and PFOA’s
PFAS, PFOAS: What you need to know. Chemical contaminants called PFAS, toxic to humans at minuscule doses, are the peak of the iceberg in threats to groundwater internationally. Nitrates, industrial chemicals, and pathogens have been swept underground for decades. What else is in groundwater and seeping into drinking water? And what are the risks? Experts are […]
Testing pH
Testing pH Are you acidic or alkaline? How to Perform the Urine pH Test To perform a urine test with the AlkaWay test strips, The test strips use a pH-sensitive, color-coded test strip to reveal your body pH balance status. Do NOT place test strips in your mouth. To perform a urine test; Start with the […]
Alkaline Balance
What is Alkaline Balance? It’s the body’s ability to balance alkaline and acids in the body. Why are people talking about it? Because we’re waking up to the fact that our diet and lifestyle are now hugely tilted towards excess acid uptake. This happens in the forms of food, drink, food additives, stress – external, […]
Best Alkaline Water
What is the BEST Alkaline Water When you begin to search for the best alkaline water for you, it can be very, very confusing. So we’re going to make it simple. The best alkaline water is ultra pure water with alkaline minerals in it. The best ultrapure Alkaline Water is water that has the right […]
Alkaline Water and Health
Most people don’t easily connect the water they drink with the health they experience. Yet this metastudy of over 100 different studies of this relationship clearly demonstrates that the vast majority of worldwide studies concluded that alkaline water has a direct relationship with not just health (measured by the absence of major health challenges) and longevity. Summarizing, […]
Alkaline Water and Fitness
Unknown to most people, alkaline water has played a major part in supporting successful athletes – human and equine – for many years. We have supplied many, many athletes with alkaline water systems because of its ability to support faster recovery and to neutralise lactic acid. In the racing industry, we’ve supplied alkaline water systems […]
