Is Alkaline Water Good for You? | A Kidney Doctor Explains

Don’t know about cancer but my acid reflux has dropped to a hardly from everyday to every other day for one and drinking regular bottled water no matter distilled…spring use to seem to enhance my acid, secondly it has improved my gout conditions tremendously🫠 in short unless you experienced things for yourself don’t count on your so-called smarts to be the top proof and final word. Moreover what would make you think there would be any scientific study that proves something so simple would be better than any medicine or doctors orders 🤣 heck you so called medical professionals would be flat broke if we didn’t stay sick if real honesty is to be used here! Sorry doc but your either a lier of don’t know your rear end from a hole in the ground take your pick! 🙄

Well, you are dead wrong

Acid + base = salt + water ; we know salt gets into the blood so saying stomach acid neutralizes the base is not an explanation about how nothing affects your body. Im not a proponent of alkaline water but I'm trying to research this and everyone gives this same terrible answer and doctors should know better that this isn't a sufficient answer. I was a bio and health major and I was trained that dietary ketosis could send peoole into keto acidosis and other false untested conclusions about health pushed by the establishment too... Always to the benefit if big pharma

Fun to hear a man trained by big pharma tell you alkaline water is bad to keep you drinking tap to keep you sick and a slave to the system. 🤷‍♂️

So how about all the people suffering from acid reflux which thru my extensive research shows that these people don't have too much acid production happening in their gut, but TOO LITTLE stomach acid production in their gut. So they are eating ant-acids and taking PPIs to ease the symptoms of low stomach acid (Hypochlorhydria) ?? not realizing they are causing themselves long-term malnutrition from killing their stomachs ability to break down the foods they are eating, causing the food to sit in the 98.6 degree gut AND rot, causing gas, causing gerd, causing more acid reflux which calls for more ant acids and stronger PPIs.... Then they start drinking alkaline water further killing the stomachs ability to digest and break down the foods they are eating into the proteins so they can then be absorbed thru the intestines. Not saying alkaline water isn't good for people with diseases in certain cases. But the larger picture must be looked at. Especially the absolute root cause of acid indigestion, acid reflux, and gerd , which is from NOT STRONG ENOUGH STOMACH ACID. Production WHICH MUST BE 3 PH IN ORDER FOR THE LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER TO CLOSE, PREVENTING MOST IF NOT ALL SYMPTOMS OF ACID REFLUX, GERD. MAINSTREAM MEDICAL Drs are WAYYYY BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL AND THEY ARE LITERALLY KILLING THE PATIENTS SLOWLY FROM MALNUTRITION.

Are u familiar with Congen water I am trying desperately to keep my kidneys, healthy

What if you have low acidity?

So if you have a pool that has low ph and you increase it by adding chemicals to it.

2nd of all just like you mentioned "our bodies are very good at balancing themselves...." So by you drinking alkaline then it will draw acidity from our bodies in order to get that "perfect balance" which is good...instead of all the junk food and other things we have in our generation.

My common sense says alkalinity water is good....especially if you're saying that it can't cause any harm since our bodies regulate themselves.
Basically what you're saying here is "eat and drink whatever junk you want...your stomach will regulate it perfectly..." Which i must disagree....i dont buy those alkaline water but i have reverse osmosis which i really enjoy drinking.

You haven't studied well... Please don't comment without knowing...

Hater

I take a sip of alkaline water during night and seems like it helps my acid reflux and inflamed esophagus. And also put me in good sleep right away most of the time. Only taboo I have see I couldn’t drive well if I drink alkaline water and it feel like boozed😊

Drinking regular water it don't make any different you still have to drink more water

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Thank you so much for the clarification

Excellent analysis Dr. Thank you🙏

For LPR sufferers alkaline water offers help.

I switch from great value water to Fiji and my acid reflux happens about 90% less. Absolutely works

What about using it to neutralize foods in route? In an attempt to cancel that food out? As in drinking it immediately before or after drinking an acidic product?

Now today the seller sell alkaline that made by vegetables. Is it rights?

would like to have seen him learn a little more. there are 2 very different types of alkaline water.
one kind is made with electrolysis and has extra hydrogen gas in it as a result, as well as being alkaline.
this water, in japan and S korea, has been shown to be very healthy.

my personal experience is that alkaline water is very helpful to balancing out acid alkaline balance in the body.
ive seen good results from it for decades, as well as the research behind it.

like anything, it works better if you use it correctly.
I also think an alkaline diet is excellent.

but they can work well together.

Fiji water is the best Doctor.

My plant-based diet makes too alkaline, so drinking alkaline water seems counter productive

Hello cook doc... What you cook for lunch today?

Doctor work in kichen???😂😂😂😂

Doctor cook what thế hell doctor ist?

this alkaline water makes me sick, bad break outs and joint pains... went back to my old jug filter and I am fine

this video sponsored by Pfizer and is brought to you by the guys who told you to shoot up with vaccines every 3 months to stop the spread.

this is good to know - i always kind of thought that the ph diet was BS just like the water. I didn't realize it might actually have some benefit - Thanks.

I was wondering why my chiropractor stopped promoting an alkaline water maker kit about 2 years ago. Crack science, indeed. Just like when I asked my cardiologist about Prevagen and those other "memory enhancement" supplements. He said "Save Your Money! Only way to get the effects of memory enhancements, is to inject those proteins into your brain directly!" Yuck! No wonder those "faux drugs" cost over $75/month. Same with those "Fruits and Veggies" crap!!

Sorry doc but you are wrong. With alkaline water and fasting one full week a month, I REVERSED my cancer. And to me thats not nonsense. I dont have the science behind it but there are thousands of others around the world claiming the same thing. So we cant be all be full of shit. Just another idiot doctor believing chemo and radiations the only option. And that makes this doctor complicit in people dying from complications with cancer treatment.

Well I switched off from this 'doctor' as soon as he says, all well and good if these claims that it helps acid reflux for eg are true but isn't!!! Well hear it from someone who actually suffered with acid reflux... since drinking Kangen water, my acid reflux has all but dissapeared for the last 5 moths, and that I can state is true. Also I love the way it makes me feel, totally hydrated! I used to wake up many times during the night, with a very dry mouth, with my tongue sticking to the roof of my mouth and mouth feeling like sandpaper it was so dry, even though I'd be drinking 2 litres of water a day, but now I don't get this anymore! I feel much more hydrated now, and wouldn't change that for the world. We are made up of mostly water, and you can put chlorine infused, heavy metal, tap water, plastic chemicalled leeched bottled water which has sat for months and months in the hot and cold into your body or you can put Kangen water into your body, it's a no brainer for me having tried this water now. This is a disruptive technology and remember, success makes enemies from certain quarters! 1 in 3 hospitales in Japan have these water machines in!

Your just saying that to keep people from healty body.. I've been drinking alkaline and it works miracle. I have no acid reflux and my body is full of energy and i feel more energetic

Dr. Hiromi Shinya invented the colonoscopy. He only treats heads of state all over world. he heals almost every patient if they will obey. He prescribes "Kangen Water" along with a specific simple diet. he stresses the importance of the water. Kangen water is filtered ionized alkaline water machine.

What about water that has magnesium and potassium added

Problem with asking doctors is THEY ARE NOT EDUCATED on NUTRITION so because all they do is sell dhqrmful drugs for big pharma without trwating the undrlying cause of a cobdition or illnesz Unless a surgeon THE INTERNET IS BETTER THAN NOTHING unless you can pay put of pocket to do what doctors dont have the time or education to do Ill keep educating myself Ive done more to improve my health on my own than my drs ha e done prescribing drugs that pnly make things worse with toxic drugs and their side effects.
By doing my own research from those doing the research with science based evidence to treat myself until I find a doctior who is educated on treating CAUSES and not just treating symptoms with drugs that only make things worse for big pharma profits

I have some bad news for you even though you are a doctor. This country manipulates what they want. You to believe when you look at other countries. There are studies in Japan that they are giving their patients alkaline water. Because it does help because it makes your urine. Less acetic, which means your kidneys don't have to process as much. You might want to do your research doc

Doctor, several Nephrologists write that "distilled wayer" is best for CKD patients as the kidneys have less minerals and contaminants to filter out. Do you agree or do you say plain filtered water is fine? Thanks for great content.

A dentist tried telling me to only drink alkaline liquids as even if there is no sugar the unbalanced alkaline can really mess the teeth up

Thank you, Doctor!!! I keep my mouth shut, but I have numerous colleagues buying Kangen units. 😕 Oh, yeah, my Master’s is in geochemistry…

I don’t trust nothing he says.

This is the best demystification I have heard so far. Thanks for the honest truth!

I hear testimonial after testimonial of people drinking alkaline water and getting rid of all sorts of issues. But of course, you're the MD. All hail to the MD. Whatever we experience will just be written off as placebo or anecdotal. Thank God for the internet

The stomach acid is only RELEASED when we chew so it can break down food.

Otherwise, if the stomach is highly acidic people begin to need meds to reduce the acid.
