Is "Acid in Stomach" Unhealthy? Explained By Dr. Berg:

In this video, we're going to talk about alkaline water. Spring water, artisanal water, or well water is typically alkaline naturally. This is because of the alkaline minerals: magnesium, calcium, and potassium and the bicarbonates that exist naturally in the water, making it more alkaline.

When a machine makes water alkaline, it doesn't do so by adding minerals. Instead, it splits the water molecules with electricity to artificially make the water alkaline.

In my years of practice, I noticed that many people who used artificial alkaline water had urine with a pH of 9. Normally, urine should have a pH of 5 or 6. The problem with having very alkaline urine is that you don't have any protection against harmful microbes.

Artificial alkaline drinking water negatively alters your body’s chemistry. There are 3 fluids in the body that should normally be acid: stomach acid, the large bowel, and urine. It is imperative that these fluids remain acidic to break down proteins, absorb minerals, and kill microbes.

When you consume alkaline water that was made artificially, it can neutralize the acidic fluids in the body. This can create problems with digestion, the large bowel, and urine. This can also affect the absorption of key electrolytes, which are very important for your heart.

Thanks for watching! I hope you'll avoid artificial alkaline water and opt for spring water which is naturally alkaline. I’ll see you in the next video.

I have been drinking alkaline water for 4 years now, and I can honestly say my health has gotten so much better. It literally cured my migraines.

Dr. Berg I would like to take a moment to let you know I thank God for you and the information you supply in your videos, it has changed my life for the better. I lost 75-80 lbs. And I feel great. I prayed to God for some kind of a way to loose weight and not get sick and He led me to you. Thank You again

Watching this while drinking alkaline water

My reflux reduced like 80% after I started drinking from my Ionized water machine. I think people should try everything until they reach to a solution that suits them. I don’t Think that there is a specific water that fits everyone.

I'll trust Dr. Sebi on natural alkaline benefits, Most American doctors are in cahoots with big pharma, and are more concerned with profits not making people well.

I've long rejected the idea of messing with the strong acidity of the stomach. Truly, God made this strong acid environment for those very reasons: pathogen destruction, good digestion of foods and especially minerals. Without good digestion, our bodies lose the ability to nourish, build, rebuild, and protect ourselves. I was not aware of the changes taking place in the kidney output. Thanks, Dr. Berg, for weighing in on this issue.

I have been drinking alkaline water from an ionized machine and I have noticed a few things.. A lot more energy. My thirst feels completely quenched. And I am generally feeling great..but hey..everyone is different

I can tell you this I used to have bowel movements once every two days (this was for years) if I was lucky. When I started drinking alkaline water (kept the same exact diet) I started to have bowel movements once per day which to me was a massive change. After a few weeks I started to have multiple bowel movements per day (nothing iregular so don't assume it was irregular or anything like that). I got to the point where I would eat a meal and after a while I would go to the bathroom. This made a HUGE change in my life. I used to be somewhat constipated and just felt constantly bloated and heavy. I honestly cannot understate just how much better I have felt since going from 1 bowel movement every 2 days to multiple per day. This has been the case for the past 4 years. I can directly attribute that to my change in water since I did not change my diet at all one bit or did anything out of my normal routine. So yea you might be right Dr. Berg but in my personal case it helped me out a lot and can't see myself going back.

i just always used lemons and limes together and it taste like a 7 up without sugar but is delicious! The citrus juice makes the water alkaline once ingested.

Drinking more Alkaline Water, has definitely eased my RA flare ups.
