Information On Alkaline Water And Cancer
Throughout history, humanity has undergone various periods of development. These periods are sometimes called 'ages'. The Stone Age, the Dark Age, the Age of Reasoning, and the Age of Enlightenment, are just a few. During each age, humankind increased his knowledge and his understanding of the world around him. Even through the dark ages in places like China and Europe, the scientific discoveries of the Greeks before them were being furthered developed. This caused an accumulation of human knowledge that made it possible for things like spaceflight to take place. These days we live in an era of science. However, modern science seems to have parted ways with history. This could lead to a loss of accumulated knowledge, which should be of a concern to everyone especially if medical knowledge is lost. Thousands of years ago, medical practitioners observed a connection between alkaline water and cancer. This knowledge was nearly lost in lieu of science that is more recent. Fortunately, though, the knowledge was not lost and it is making a comeback.
Acid Build-up In The Cells
Theories about proper PH levels in the body were recorded in many ancient cultures. Some of these documents date back more then 4000 years. Ayurvedic texts are just one example. On the Indian subcontinent, specific protocols were used to measure and monitor the balance between acid and alkaline in the human physiology. These protocols were just as accurate as the methods in use today, with one exception. Ayurvedic techniques yielded a more exhaustive understanding of disease because it held close to the concept of the three Vipakas. During this particular era, humanity has actually decreased in knowledge is some aspects. The reason for this decrease is simple. Science refuses to take into account the other two aspects of humanity's existence, which are the mind and the spirit. These also play a key roll in the health of an individual. Ancient doctors recognized this and therefore they treated the entire person by treating all three Vipakas, the mind, body, and spirit.
In addition to treating all three vipakas, the ancient doctors also believed transdermal delivery of the herbal concoctions was best when trying to reduce or raise PH levels. This is because it bypassed the digestive system. Drinking alkaline water was the only exception. Today, Ayurvedic Doctor Andreas Moritz writes in his book, 'The Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation,' about the effects of alkaline water on cells. He says, "It helps to prevent acid build-up," which is believed to reduce the risk of cancer. This reduction of acid build-up is a positive connection between alkaline water and cancer. An abundance of acid reduces available oxygen to the cells, which in turn damages them. Once the cells become damaged, they die. This condition sets up a breeding ground for the invasion of cancer cells. Alkaline water mitigates acid build-up.
The Claims
On one hand, the mayo Clinic reports there is no significant research suggesting alkaline water reduces the risk of disease or cancer. On the other hand, animal studies performed by veterinarians at 22 dairy farms say otherwise. Regular tap water was replaced with alkaline water and the results were astonishing. These large-scale trials clearly demonstrated some significant health benefits for the animals, which included heather calves, improved hides, and a reduction in skin disease, like cancer. Next, researchers at the Soonchunhyang University in Korea demonstrated human lymphocyte resistance to DNA strand breaks when alkaline water was ingested at any point during treatment. It did not matter if it was before, during, or after the treatment because the results were immediate. This is a remarkable bit of research and clearly shows the positive connection between alkaline water and cancer.
As noted above, ancient medicine and recent research shows a positive connection between alkaline water and cancer. Therefore, a person seeking treatment or prevention can feel comfortable using this method. As with any self-healing technique, be sure to involve a regular doctor for their advice and perspective. As time goes by many doctors are seeing the benefits of what humankind has learned in the past.

Really nice post and very informative. Alkaline Water is said to have a healing power towards cancer. This is because alkaline water flushes out the impurities from our body. Once the impurities are removed, our body regains the acid-alkaline body pH. Cancer cells/tumor cells cannot prevail in an alkaline environment. Thus alkaline water helps in preventing cancer up to a great extent.
