Over acidity, which can become a dangerous condition that weakens all body systems, is very common today. It gives rise to an internal environment conducive to disease, as opposed to a pH-balanced environment which allows normal body function necessary for the body to resist disease. A healthy body maintains adequate alkaline reserves to meet emergency demands. When excess acids (acidosis) must be neutralized, our alkaline reserves are depleted, leaving the body in a weakened condition.
Every day we wage our own private war against molds, yeasts, bacteria, viruses and fungi. By using antibiotics as the first line of defense we have encouraged the development of more powerful deadly bugs and bacteria.
Our immune systems are becoming weaker and over-taxed in this war. Louis Pasteur declared the germ theory of disease that states germs are the cause of disease. But note Dr. Pasteur's dying words: "The germ is nothing, the inner terrain is everything".
The concept of acid alkaline imbalance as the cause of disease is not new. In 1933 a New York doctor named William Howard Hay published a ground-breaking book, A New Health Era in which he maintains that all disease is caused by autotoxication (or "self-poisoning") due to acidosis in the body.
"Now we depart from health in just the proportion to which we have allowed our alkalis to be dissipated by introduction of acid-forming food in too great amount... It may seem strange to say that all disease is the same thing, no matter what its myriad modes of expression, but it is verily so". William Howard Hay, M.D.
More recently, in his remarkable book Alkalize or Die , Dr. Theodore A. Baroody says essentially the same thing:
"The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause...too much tissue acid waste in the body!" Theodore A. Baroody, N.D., D.C., Ph.D.
Modern science has revealed that the cause of aging may be far more simple than previously thought. Almost 99% of the components of food that we consume every day are composed of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen with only 1% minerals.
The wastes produced from food are highly acidic and acidosis is one of the main contributors that lead to the aging process and various illnesses. Acid waste is excreted from the human body in the form of urine or sweat. But the wastes not excreted will be circulating around in the blood, in the body. This acidic waste will gradually accumulate somewhere in our capillaries blood vessels, and eventually clog them up. Also as a consequence of this, the cells of the human body will be deprived of their supply of oxygen and essential nutrients, rendering these cells inactive in reproduction. That's the main reason why people age. Moreover, with the capillary blood vessels clogged up, the function of every organ in the human body accumulating acidic waste will begin to deteriorate, causing serious illnesses in the long run.
If the cause of aging and other diseases lie in acidosis, then the answer to longer life must lie in eliminating such acidic wastes. Hence, to neutralize acidic meals, alkaline water could be the answer. Many doctors recommend a vegetarian or low meat diet as alkaline minerals and vegetables help neutralize acidic waste. But vegetables only contain a very small amount of alkaline minerals and that is why a very large quantity of vegetables needs to be consumed in order to neutralize these wastes in the body.
If we were to ask what is killing us, the answer might be ACIDOSIS. It has been demonstrated that an acidic, anaerobic (lacking oxygen) body environment encourages the breeding of fungus, mold, bacteria, and viruses. Let us look at an example. If we were to seal the door to our freezer and then unplug it, come back and open the door in two weeks, what would we find? Mold, bacteria and microscopic bugs that are growing and multiplying. Where did they all come from? They did not sneak in - remember the door was sealed. The answer is . . . they were always there. It is simply that the environment changed to a more inviting and healthy one for these 'critters' to live in. This can be likened to a shift in our biological terrain from a healthy oxygenated, alkaline environment to an unhealthy anaerobic acidic environment.
Dr. Otto Heinrich Warburg,1931 Nobel Prize Winner
The Root Cause of Cancer
Dr. Otto Warburg discovered the root cause of cancer in 1923 and he received the Nobel Prize for doing so in 1931. Dr. Warburg was director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute (now Max Planck Institute) for cell physiology at Berlin. He investigated the metabolism of tumors and the respiration of cells, particularly cancer cells. Below are some direct quotes by Dr. Warburg during medical lectures where he was the keynote speaker:
“Cancerous tissues are acidic, whereas healthy tissues are alkaline.
Water splits into H+ and OH- ions, if there is an excess of H+, it is acidic; if there is an excess of OH- ions, then it is alkaline.”
In his work The Metabolism of Tumours he demonstrated that all forms of cancer are characterized by two basic conditions: acidosis and hypoxia (lack of oxygen). Lack of oxygen and acidosis are two sides of the same coin: where you have one, you have the other.
"All normal cells have an absolute requirement for oxygen, but cancer cells can live without oxygen - a rule without exception." –Dr. Otto Warburg
"Deprive a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours and it may become cancerous." – Dr. Otto Warburg.
Dr. Warburg has made it clear that the prime cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency (brought about by Toxemia). Dr Warburg discovered that cancer cells are anaerobic (do not breathe oxygen) and cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen.
The other is the theory of acidic cells, by a Japanese doctor, Dr. Airashi.
Dr. Airashi showed that cells that survive in acidic environments will eventually develop cancerous characteristics.
Even though cancer cells are eliminated entirely through an operation, they reoccur because the acidic surroundings still remain after the operation. So, to help prevent this, we should stop the development of acidosis by having a healthy diet, avoiding stress, living in a healthy environment and exercising.
The Book "Water of Life" by Dr Won H. Kim
The author, Won H. Kim, is currently a professor at Yonsei University Wonju Medical School Biochemistry Department. He became interested in water because of his daughter, and dedicated his work to a long research. That has led to an acknowledgement of his foremost authority on water. He graduated from Seoul National University's Chemistry Department, and received his doctorate in biochemistry from England's Oxford University. He has also held tenure at United States Carnegie Mellon University as a research professor. His chief subject of research in England and United States was protein structure. After returning to Korea, Dr Kim has focused much attention on Alternative Medicine and the world of super-scientific subtle energy in addition to his research on protein and genes.
In his book, Dr Kim discusses how he'd discovered the healing properties of alkaline reduced water, how his experiment showed promising anti-cancer and anti-diabetic effects, and how he helped his daughter overcome her hormonal health problem. This is a book filled with rich information and personal experiences that Dr Kim shares selflessly.

This study was done by the inventor of BIO-Q (Mineral rocks inside Gratitude Bottle and G2O), BIO-Q is a portable mineral alkaline water producer. BIO-Q produces water with a health quality that's close to natural water that contains essential and rare earth minerals. It is safe with anti-bacterial property and comprises nano-clustered water for superior absorption by the cells in our body. BIO-Q water has anti-oxidant effect, which neutralizes the harmful free oxygen radicals in our body. With a good taste resulting from activated alkaline reduced water enriched with minerals, BIO-Q water is not only suitable for direct drinking but also for cooking, making tea or coffee, and mixing with baby's milk powder. BIO-Q has also been observed in clinical tests to possess anti-cancer and anti-diabetic health properties (see R&D). With BIO-Q, we have an ideal way to maintain good health by drinking mineral-enriched and health-enhancing quality water everyday, anywhere and anytime.
Dr. H. Kim of Department of Biochemistry, Wonju College of Medicine, Yonsei University, Wonju 220-701, Kangwondo, Korea. He reported anti-cancer and anti-diabetic effects with the use of Alkaline Reduced Water (ARW) produced using BIO-Q. Various tests were carried out on lab mice with the following summary findings and observations:
Discussion
Recently, electrolyzed-reduced water with high pH and significant negative redox potential was shown to have SOD-like activity and catalase-like activity, and thus, scavenge ROS and protect DNA from damage by oxygen radicals in vitro. If ARW is actually acting as antioxidants and protects DNA from damage, it might be hypothesized that ARW intake would be possible to show anti-cancer effect.
ARW intake slowed down tumor growth, and inhibited the intravenous metastasis, leading to prolonged survival span in B16 melanoma injected mice. B16 melanoma cell is one of the most frequent tumors in humans and is characterized by its high capacity for invasion and metastasis. They escape from immune surveillance and spread more rapidly than any other tumors using several mechanisms including MHC down-regulation, increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and thus, expedite the progression of metastasis.
Our study demonstrated that ARW not only acts as an anti-oxidant but also acts as a strong immunomoduator, both of which could be responsible for the anti-cancer effect. Thus, ARW is expected to be effective for the various diseases resulting from low immunity and/or high reactive oxygen species as well as for the prevention of cancer.
In actuality, ARW demonstrate anti-diabetic effect as well as anti-cancer effect. ARW lowered blood glucose, triglyceride, and total cholesterol levels in OLTF rats which had a diabetes-inducing hereditary defect as it grew. Recently, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia are known to be related to ROS levels in blood vessels, tissues, and cells. Thus, it has been recognized that the scavenging of ROS and the control of lipid metabolism are both quite relevant to the control of diabetes. Anti-diabetic effect of ARW in the present paper also confirmed the relation.
There is no medicine which is effective both for cancer and diabetes, suggesting their mechanism is completely different from that of current medicine which treats only specific disease condition. Thus, ARW seems to work rather as water panacea.
ARW not only has high pH and low ORP, but also contain some magnesium ion. Recently, magnesium was shown to be effective for the prevention of various diseases including cancer and diabetes. We cannot exclude the possibility that the magnesium in ARW might have contributed to the anti-cancer and anti-diabetic effect.
The interesting fact is ARW-drinking rats had a much higher intake of water than rats drinking regular water. It cannot be verified whether the alkaline water was delicious to the rats or if the animals sensitively and instinctively felt it was good for their health, but we simply had to change the water in the mineral-containing bottles more often.
Water reaches every tissue of human body within 30 minutes after drinking. It even flows through blood brain barrier with no obstacle, and has almost no side effect. Taking ARW could be an ideal way to maintain health.
What Causes Me to be Acidic?
The reason acidosis is more common in our society is mostly due to the typical American diet, which is far too high in acid-producing animal products like meat, eggs and dairy, and far too low in alkaline-producing foods like fresh vegetables. Additionally, we eat acid-producing processed foods like white flour and sugar and drink acid-producing beverages like coffee and soft drinks. We use too many drugs, which are acid-forming; and we use artificial chemical sweeteners which are extremely acid-forming. One of the best things we can do to correct an overly-acid body is to clean up the diet and lifestyle.
Most people who suffer from unbalanced pH are too acidic. This condition forces the body to borrow minerals including calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium, from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely remove it from the body. Because of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage due to high acidity. A condition that may go undetected for years.
