Q & A: What Level of Alkaline Water Should I Begin Drinking?

Article

Drink the level of alkaline water you're comfortable with. Move up levels when you're ready. Question from Jo: Do you recommend starting with two for a couple weeks, or how do you start? Answer:  Hi Jo, thanks for asking your question! It’s a common one that other curious people have asked before. Whether you’re just starting your alkaline mineral drinking water habit, or you’ve made it a part of your daily routine for years, the same rule of thumb applies: listen to what your body tells you.

A Life Ionizer Customer shares why she ended up choosing Life Ionizer® over the Competition It was about 3 months ago that I began to get the feeling like I wasn’t going to live forever. I mean, let’s just say that I realized that maybe I wasn’t going to make it to my goal of living to 130, but I’ll settle for 120 years. All joking aside, I looked into preventing the onset of early degenerative diseases, and I read all about exercise and healthy diet as a way to encourage a really nice looking alkaline water ionizer on the Internet. It had 7 titanium plates and it said they were platinum coated. It had all kinds of buttons... read more >>

Will you Need a Prescription for Vitamin B6?

Article

Big Pharma would love nothing more than to force you to purchase supplements from them, rather than over-the-counter. Unfortunately, this type of scenario is already here: there is a bill currently circulating the Senate halls that seeks to do just that. This bill would drive up the cost of health supplements and even hinder your ability to purchase them over the counter. What this means is that the bill would bestow the power to decide what supplements you are allowed to purchase solely to the FDA. The Real Cost of the So-called “Supplements Safety Act of 2010″ This bill would create wasteful forms of bureaucratic legislation that... read more >>

We Compare Top Water Ionizers

Article

Keep in mind that the results of these tests are dependent on the water source where the test is conducted.  The fact is that the water quality in one location can be drastically different in composition and mineral content from another source, and can yield results that aren’t really true relative comparisons. It is for this reason that we are testing these machines today from the same water source for each machine. e hope you will get a better understanding of how the effectiveness and quality of the machine really compare to each other. The first measurement we’re looking for is the measure of pH. What you should be looking for in the... read more >>

Busting the Quack Busters

Article

There are a series of people out there that will tell you that herbal supplements are bad, that massage is a waste of money, that chiropractors are quacks and not specialists. What I’m here to tell you is that these people—these naysayers—have an agenda. There is always an agenda. Just follow the money, and you’ll know what their real agenda is. The main agenda of quack watchers is to plant doubt in our minds when we are trying to search out the truth about something as vast and unknown as health. When you think about it: it’s easy to be a skeptic. It’s easy to deconstruct everything to the point where it’s rendered meaningless. On... read more >>
