How Much Ionized Water do You Need?

To determine how much 9.5 pH ionized water you need to drink to sufficiently hydrate your body you divide your weight in half and that’s how many ounces you need to drink. As an example if you weigh 120 pounds you would need to drink 60 ounces of ionized water. Keep this in mind that this assumes you are already sufficiently hydrated. The 60 ounces you consume only replaces water lost through normal respiration, perspiration, and elimination. If you live in dry arid locations, high elevations, or perspire more than normal due to heat or workouts your daily hydration needs will be greater. If you suffer from an illness, disease, or dehydration you will need to consume the number of pounds of body weight in the same number of ounces of ionized water. For example, if you weigh 120 pounds you would need to drink 120 ounces of 9.5 pH ionized water.

In my clinical practice I use diagnostic equipment produced by RJL Systems that measure a persons total body water composition. It then divides the total body water composition into intercellular fluid and extracellular fluid components. Healthy individuals will have 60% or greater total body water with 60% or greater intercellular fluids and 40% or less extracellular fluids. Anything less than 60% total body water indicates dehydration. Anything less than 60% intracellular indicates poor cell hydration, health, and nutritional status. Anything over 40% extracellular indicates fluid retention, poor cell hydration, health, and nutritional status. You can contact RJL Systems at 1-800-528-4513 to find a doctor or clinic in your area that has one of their Fluid and Nutritional Analysis machines. Most insurance companies will reimburse you for this medical diagnostic procedure. Remember chronic dehydration is one of the leading causes of disease and illness.

You need to drink your water 1/2 hour before a meal and 1 1/2 hours after meals. Use the purified drinking water selection when you take prescription medication. Never drink more than one quart of water in one hour. Space your drinking throughout the day between meals.

Personal Testimonial on Ionized Water

2009-07-22T22:24:00Z

Since 1973 I have been on a quest for true natural health and vitality. I have studied, researched, and investigated all realms of natural healing from nutrition, acupuncture, chiropractic, herbs, homeopathy, aroma therapy, light therapy, music and sound therapy, meditation, personal development, hydrotherapy, massage therapy, diet, exercise, and prayer just to name a few. Recently I discovered one of the most profound and powerful substances that can impact a persons health and vitality greater than anything else I have ever seen and it’s ionized water.

Approximately ten years ago I first heard about ionized water. I asked several doctor and scientist friends about ionized water and they quickly dismissed the notion that water could be ionized let alone have any health benefits. Over the years I would hear or read information sporadically about ionized water from reputable scientists and researchers. Because of my own personal skepticism I dismissed the information as not being relevant since I was already enjoying and experiencing great health and vitality by incorporating all the natural healing therapies listed above in my lifestyle. At age 53 I was competing in triathlons, serving on the Park County Search and Rescue Team, and was certified in swift water rescue, all of which demanded strength, endurance, and clear thinking.

In spring of 2005 my world came crashing down about me. I was devastated by several health crisis. Then in 2008 I was diagnosed with stage 4 large diffuse B cell lymphoma. After surviving six chemo treatments I had severe lingering side effects from the chemo which included edema in my legs and feet, neuropathy in my hands and feet which was aggravated by the cold, extreme fatigue, low white and red blood cell counts, and anorexia. I had lost 20 pounds of body weight which was a lot since I was already slender. My lowest weight was 118 pounds when normally it should have been 138-142 pounds. A friend of mine who was a doctor had a mother in-law who was the same age as me and had been diagnosed with the same type and stage of cancer, passed away 2 weeks after her first chemo treatment. If I hadn't been living as healthy a lifestyle as I had been I would not had survived the chemo either. Nowhere in my training as a doctor of chiropractic, acupuncture, or nutrition had i ever come across information about how important the acid alkaline balance was. None of the other health practitioners such as M.Dz, D.Os, N.Ds, or Acupuncturists I had sought out health care from never mentioned anything about acid alkaline balance. I began to desperately research into other natural health remedies to help me regain my health. Nothing seemed to help and my health continued to decline. I had noticed that my saliva pH had become very acidic and that I had become more dehydrated. I tried drinking apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and green drinks to help alkalize my body but I didn’t have much success. I increased my water intake and didn’t see any gains in hydration status. I had also noted a gain in my body fat composition.

While attending an expo in Billings, Montana, I came across a company that was selling water ionizing machines. One of their representatives invited me to a lecture they were giving that night at a local hotel. I found the discussion interesting and began to do further research into water ionizing machines before I spent $4000 on one of their machines. After researching and investigating all the different brands of ionizing machines I purchased the KYK Genesis 7 plate water ionizer because of its cutting edge technology, state of the art features, its affordability and savings of $300 to $2000 compared to other brands. KYK offered a 60 day trial period. During the time since I started drinking ionized water my cells began to rehydrate which was verified through medical diagnostic tests. My saliva is becoming more alkaline when tested with pH paper which tells me my body is becoming more alkaline. I have more energy and sleep better, my body has changed from a catabolic, tissue breakdown, and an accelerated aging process to an anabolic, tissue building, and reverse aging process, verifiable through medical diagnostic tests. All these benefits from drinking ionized water.

Even by living a healthy lifestyle and eating and drinking organic foods I had succumbed to the three main causes of disease and illness: acidosis, dehydration, and toxicity. As I had gotten older I had burned up all my alkaline reserves, had become toxic, and dehydrated. To prevent diseases and illness or to regain your health and overcome disease and illness I recommend drinking ionized water. I never could have imagined what ionized water has done for me.
