I just figured this by my own after months of drinking alkaline water. It made my energy goes way down. I came back to acidic water and I see some improvement!
Years ago, my friend for whatever reason decided to start drinking copius amounts of water. As I recall it was about a week or so later she became very ill, had to be taken to the hospital. At that time they said she had water poisoning. All I know is she was seriously ill, thankfully, she recovered and is fine. I might add from my own experience that when I was done with chemo and rad, I experienced marble poop. Eventually it got much better but once in a while it comes back. I drink REAL prune juice or take Metamucil and it works fine for me.
I live 2200 ft above the High Desert in Warner Springs, Ca. up here is all well water. Some have high minerals, 50ft away could be a Artesian well. Even though our wells are filtered we still have high minerals in our water, I can tell this by our coffee maker lasting about two to three months and the coffee pot gets a white film on the glass. The best filter I can find are the ones that come with the water dispenser in your refrigerator, coffee problem solve. This is what I can afford and I don't worry about it. A little filter and conditioner on the shower head helps there.
Hey, Dr. G. Thank you so much for these useful information. I have a question -is it good for our health to drink water/tea/coffee… while eating? Shall we drink water before meal or is it better to drink after couple hours after? Thank you!
I am your fan Dr.Gundry! I'm Brazilian and I used google translator to write. I've heard that the guts heal in 5 days. So if I eat junk food (cheese burgers, fries, desserts, etc), once a week and for the remaining 6 days, I go on the ketogenic diet (with vegetables, mushrooms, leeks, chard, kale, avocado, lemon, baru nut, Brazil nut, olive, olive oil, lectin free, etc...). In these 6 days the intestine is already healed. Health is about being able to heal more than hurting us, isn't it? So can I be happy one day of the week eating junk food and the other 6 days of the week making the gut happy eating a ketogenic diet?
Our local municipal water company uses reverse osmosis from two different aquifers. Then "polishes" it Any comments about what is used to polish the water?
What about digesting collected rain water? Is bird poop on a roof and ultimately it ending up in drinking water a problem and does filtering remove any said problems?
I bought a Soda Stream a few years ago and ended up testing the PH of my water before and after injecying CO2. The results shocked me as the PH dropped a great deal, Soloution - I added a small pinch of Baking Soda to it and it Worked very well - I learned just how much was correct for the PH of my wather throught the year as it chanced throughout the tear - I live in a mountain valley and the PH of my water supply would change a couple of times/yeat. In the spring/early summer for the snow melt off and again in the fall/early winter(still can't figure this one out). I also soon learned not to use the Soda Stream flavours as some were terrible and mad me feel slightly ill - I found out quickly as to why after thourghly reading the Ingrediants and again checking the PH after I added the Flavourings. In my case - we here have a very good water supply as I check the water management testing results, which are typically far lower that the Health Canada Guidelines. At first I thought the Baking Soda would cause a great deal of a bubbly pressure, but not at all. Our water supply comes mainly from a bigger mountain stream and when required from a nearby lake that does noyhave any treated sewer pimped into it. Linda a long comment but worth it considering Today's Topic. 👍As usual.
As a matter of interest, do you test the Sodastream water when it's freshly made or when it's gone flat. The taste of the water is different when it's gone flat.
R/O systems actually make your water acidic, due to them removing the good minerals along with the bad stuff. To make up for this, you should use a mineral replacement canister after the R/O system to replace the good minerals and re-neutralize the PH of your water. Also, there's a HUGE difference between forced mineralized alkaline water (what he was talking about) and ionized water. It is true that the bottled alkaline water in the stores won't raise your PH, but ionized water will, due to the shrinking of water molecules, which allows for 6x the cellular hydration as regular water. The best of both worlds is to drink ionized water that's also hydrogenated.
@@pramuanchutham7355 There's a machine called a water ionizer. It alters the molecular structure temporarily, so that a higher percentage of the water actually gets into your cells, and that makes the water 6x more hydrating to the cells. This means there is also more oxygen and hydrogen being carried into the cells, which in turn, will make your body more alkaline. To hype up the hydrogen even more, you can get a hydrogen machine. However, if you get a 13 plate ionizer, such as the one by Tyent, then you won't need an additional hydrogen machine, as that ionizer will create enough hydrogen to enter your cells. Note that you must use an ionizer with a filter, but NOT with an R/O or distillation system, UNLESS you attached a mineral filter after the system. It must have minerals to allow the machine to charge the water.
@@lookfeelbehealthy6320 i use r.o.water passing through magnesium-pellet cartridge, yielding Magnesium Hydroxide(alkaline) and Hydrogen simultaneously. R.O.water is super clean, without hardness, heavy metals and all toxic contaminants as in tab or groundwater
someone asked what the PH of your water should be, and he didn't answer the question. I had to Google it myself. it was a straight forward question, why not just answer it?....so much for looking out for me.
Dr. G, San Pellegrino sparkling water has switched to plastic bottles. Do you still recommend this brand or should we look elsewhere for sparkling water? Thank you for the videos. It is a real pleasure to to listen to and learn from you.🙂🙂🙂
I have 2 questions Dr. G : 1. Can we get all the benefits of eating nuts such as cancer fighting properties by eating coconut? 2. Can we say weight gain is one of the side effects of adequate vitamin d intake ?
Thanks Dr Gundry for this great video. I wonder if B12 deficiency is partly linked to provision of clean, drinking water. When humans lived in very small communities water came from springs which could have picked up B12 from the soil. The natural filtration as rainfall soaked through the earth could have contributed B12?
What about rain water? You never talked about that. I live I a rural area so I harvest rain water. But is it safe to just drink that? Well I do without any issues, I was just wondering if it is OK in the long run.
Alkaline Water Some alkaline water machines have a stainless steel rod in the water. When a current of electricity is created between a metal conductor and water, atoms from the conductor rod sinter off and enter the water. The metal atoms from the rod enter as individual atoms, which is a colloid or "gas" of atoms. Stainless steel contributes iron, chromium, and nickel. How much is problematic, however the metal colloid (gas) is 100% absorbed by the body; total bio-availability. Nickel is poison.
One doctor’s video on RU-vid says 2.5 liters of water a day prevents kidney stones. Is this right or is this too much water? Another video says to take electrolytes with your water to ensure hydration, do you agree?
Hello Dr., I have a topic that might be of interest, my uric acid is always off the charts, is there anything you could go over to help, there are so much information but I would trust your suggestions. I do not tolerate meds they brings on gout more than not. Thank you
Why then the Alkaline water seem to be cleaning your system.? Maybe for the health conscious individuals they drawn by those benefits in few weeks and here in South Africa it seems to be a very Trending alternative among people. My question is though for someone who is diabetic what's the best option. Tap or charcoal charged water. Thank you
