I find that alkaline water has a smoother, easier taste than other water. It's more pleasant.

I started drinking mineral type alkaline water (not the electrolised "Kanzen" type alkaline water) while monitoring my Blood pressure and Urine pH. (I have a biochemistry degree and a Chemistry degree.)
In 2 weeks, my Blood pressure has actually dropped by 10mm Mercury - from about 144 gradually to about 134 and within 4 weeks my urine pH rose drom about pH 5.1 to about 6.4.
(Many years earlier I nearly died if acidic type kidney stones infection).
So alkaline water IS good for MY health I am now over 70 and very healthy.
Believe it or not.

I was suffering acid reflex for very long time and I used apple cider vinegar(AVC) and lemon juice to suppress acid reflex. It am drinking alkaline water for 3 days and last night did not need ACV and did not have any reflex. Alkaline water really works to cure acid reflex.
About producers pee, I can say that my frequency of pee and bowl movement increased a little.
Before I was drinking only bottle water. Hope this information helps someone.

Wow, they sound like they are advocates for the pharmaceutical companies.

I have chronic dehydration issue for over 25 years, I bought a Kangen machine, which produces alkalized water naturally, mo lye, no baking soda, and I no longer have a dehydration problem. Best investment I have ever made!

this made me laugh knew it was a mistake to click on dr oz when looking for actual education. this was probably sponsored by a bottled water company. never clicking on oz again.

Yeaaah.. now I know I would definitely be better off drinking alkaline water, simply because these people took the air time to convince me otherwise. I feel bad for the people fooled.

I don't care what they say Alkaline water has done wonders for me and my husband. My husband had big dark spots on his back and he drank alkaline water and it cleared up in a matter of a few days. I put alkaline water on a cut and in a day it was hardly noticable. #TeamAlkaline

I accidentally had alkaline water and noticed I didn’t have heartburn all day. Alkaline water has changed my world and I did no research it was just a happy accident. I’m hear to learn about it but the way they try to turn you off from it irritated me

Doing intermittent fasting and avoiding dinners has helped me massively.

Edit: I'm actually doing OMAD with 1600-1800 calories involving chicken wings, cheese and some veggies.
Occasionally if I feel cute I fast once or twice a week, I've been losing pounds, helping me get control of eating portions and cravings.

Doctors will never approve an alternate medicine, because the get kick backs from the pharmaceutical companies.

100% helps with Acid Reflux. I have suffered with it for years. I started drinking a gallon of PH10 water a day and I don't get the burning kickback I normally get when eating anything.

[angelalawrence]

I would say alkaline water has helped me tremendously with acid reflux as I have struggled with it for 12 year's. Currently for the last few months since consuming alkaline water bouts of acid reflux has lessen from daily to maybe less than weekly, BUT I must add I had to adjust my food menu also too maximize the benefits of drinking alkaline water.

Instead if doing the test for 2 days it should of have been for 2 months. I think that it will actually make a difference. It's like watering a plant for 2 days vs 2 months there will be a bigger difference if they actually were honest and allowed the water to make a difference.

Used to suffer with terrible migraines and poor blood circulation because my blood was really acidic from drinking regular bottled water(which I was told could cause cancer if it continued). I switched to alkaline water (kept the same diet) it’s been 5 years and I can’t tell you the last time I had a migraine or numb leg from poor circulation.

It would be nice to find a "Doctor" that actually wants to help you instead of hurt you.

I’ve Been drinking Alkaline since 2012 and I noticed a huge change in my body.
If drink regular water for two or three days I start getting sick. Now whenever I travel I take the drops in case I can’t find alkaline. Dr said my body is used to it and to continue drinking it.
Eternal water and Trader Joe’s have the best alkaline water

I found since i started drrinking alkaline water I'm feeling better, no acid reflux, even lost a little on my midsection

Awareness is a key ingredient in success. - Valerie Cheers Brown. Does Alkaline Water Actually Improve Your Health?: 1st I would have to say that your energy is increased and I walk each and every single day. In less than 6 months I was no longer needing any drugs including prescription drugs for pain! I have been prescription drug-free since 2010 and was born with three (3) autoimmune diseases but because of Kangen water which they use in hospitals in Japan, I am drug-free. I will be 66 in November and don't suffer from high blood pressure, etc.

They never mentioned what brand of alkaline water they tried. The brand makes all the difference in the world. After 15 years of consumption Dream Tree (naturally processed) or Core (bottled) have yielded overall very AWESOME health benefits.
