The Science Behind Alkalizing
What is Alkalizing?
“Alkalizing.” Maybe you’ve heard the term before. But what does it really mean? Alkalizing is the name given to the process of increasing the pH value of extracellular and intracellular fluids in your body. When body fluids become too acidic, it can lead to health problems. “Alkalizing” is a method of addressing these problems by raising the pH of body fluids, thereby lowering the acidity levels. The goal of alkalizing is to enable your body to operate in the most healthy and efficient way possible.
Alkalizing – the process of increasing the pH value of extracellular and intracellular fluids in your body, with the ultimate goal of better health.
The pH Scale Explained…
The pH scale is a scientific scale that runs from 0 to 14. The lower the number is on the scale, the more acidic the substance is. The higher the number is on the scale, the more alkaline the substance is. So 0 is very acidic, and 14 is very alkaline. 7 is considered neutral, or balanced.
The pH scale is a measurement of how many hydrogen ions a substance contains. The greater the concentration of hydrogen in any given substance, the lower the pH number will be. The concentration of hydrogen ions increases tenfold for every number lower on the pH scale. This means that a substance with a pH of 5 has 100 times more hydrogen ions than a substance with a pH of 7. In other words, a substance with a pH of 5 is 100 times more acidic than a substance with a pH of 7.
Why pH Matters to Your Health…
Numerous processes in the human body depend on the pH levels of fluids falling into a certain range. In the stomach, for example, pH is normally lower because of stomach acid which helps break down food. However, if it becomes too acidic (such as after eating an acid-promoting meal), it can cause discomfort and health problems. Different organs in the body require different pH levels.
Problems related to excess acidity can arise due to a variety of dietary and environmental causes. For example the meat-heavy, sugar-laden eating habits of Americans are believed to contribute to the millions of cases of acid-related illnesses such as heartburn and stomach ulcers. A high acid diet can disrupt the body’s systems, making the body work harder to keep a balanced pH level. This can lead to a variety of problems, including immune system weakness and cellular mutation (i.e. “cancer”).
When it comes to our health, pH is truly a matter of life and death. Even a 1 point change in the pH of blood would kill a person. The pH of blood must stay in the range of 7.36 to 7.38. The optimum blood pH is therefore 7.37. This slightly higher pH level benefits blood because at higher pH levels a substance in red blood cells called hemoglobin binds to oxygen more efficiently. A delicate balance must be maintained, though. If your blood were to go to a pH of 7.1 or 7.7, you would die instantly. Because of this fact, the body has many systems in place to keep pH levels in check. Even with these systems, however, dietary and environmental factors can make it harder for the body’s systems to keep up.
Our pH must be in balance to reach optimum health. The goal of alkalizing is to find that balance. We want to balance pH so that our bodies are as healthy and efficient as they can be.
To find that balance, it’s important to understand a few things about acids.
The Real Truth About Acids!
Acids are common in everyday life. They’re in food and drugs. They’re used in industry. They’re even used in the human body! (The acid in your stomach helps digest food.)
An acid is any ionic compound that releases a hydrogen ion in a solution. In other words, it’s anything that makes a solution more acidic.
There are strong acids and weak acids. The strength of an acid depends on its “willingness” to release its hydrogen atoms. Two examples of very strong acids are hydrochloric and sulfuric acid, which are in the range of 1 to 2 on the pH scale.
Acids typically taste sour by themselves, but that doesn’t mean that sour food is necessarily acidifying where your body is concerned.
When it comes to food, what matters is what happens in the body. How does the food metabolize? Does it result in more acidity or more alkalinity?
And here’s why these questions about food are important: When body fluids become more acidic, the mechanisms that the body uses to regulate pH must work harder. These systems get stressed, and normal cells start to die and mutate. When cells mutate, it can result in unrestricted cell reproduction—otherwise known as cancer.
In addition to causing cancer, an overly acidic environment in your body will promote the growth of bacteria, yeast, viruses, fungus, mold, and parasites.
If you’re concerned about acidity or experience acid-related ailments, then we’ve got good news for you: balancing your pH has the potential to drastically improve your health and your life.
1931 Nobel Prize winner Otto Warburg stated that all cancer and sick cells live and thrive in an oxygen poor and acidic environment. (This is from a man who won the Nobel Prize for his work regarding cellular respiration.)
Does this mean that alkalizing could stop illness in its tracks and keep you from becoming ill? Does it mean it can make you more healthy and help you lose weight?
We believe the answer to these questions is a resounding “yes!”
This is why we strive to balance pH levels in the body. This is why we created AlkaVision Plasma pH Drops. AlkaVision Plasma pH drops were designed for you, to help you balance your pH level and improve your health.
“But isn’t That What the Doctor is For?”
When you go to the doctor with a problem, the doctor asks you about your symptoms. Based on the symptoms you describe, your doctor provides a name for your condition. If your symptoms are many, you may leave the doctor with several names of several conditions.
The problem with this approach is that we are all different. We have different ancestries, backgrounds, health histories, and so on. A particular symptom does not necessarily mean the same thing for every person of every age and ancestry. Because of this, it’s possible that different symptoms are simply different expressions of the same underlying problem.
Still, the medical community continues to play the “symptom matching” game.
But consider this for a moment: Could it be that there is, in fact, one underlying cause that leads to MANY symptoms and so-called diseases?
There are MANY very common symptoms experienced by people today that can all be traced back to acidity. Many people’s bodies are simply too acidic, which compromises the health of their blood (among other things). It is likely that many of the common ailments we suffer from stem from a single source. What source? Acid.
Why You Can’t Escape Acid…
How did acid get into your body? Where did it come from? It comes from many sources in the environment, including the water you drink, the polluted air that you breathe, and the food that you eat. The most acid-promoting foods and other factors that many Americans face today are: alcohol use, soda pop, meat, dairy, mushrooms, peanuts, corn, vinegar, sugar, caffeine, drugs, nicotine, and stress.
Acid is everywhere. You simply can’t escape it. If you’re not sick right now with symptoms tied to acidity, you probably will be eventually.
As many as 60 million Americans have acid reflux at least once a month according to the Center for Disease Control. That is 60 million Americans who are at greater risk of esophageal cancer because of one thing: acid!
Even if you think you don’t have to worry about heartburn and the risks associated with it, you’re not off the hook just yet. Acidity in the body can lead to many other illnesses and cancers. It’s no wonder that, according to statistics, 1 in 2 Americans born in the year 2009 will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetime. That’s a dramatic number. Combine this with the research and statistical evidence that indicates that “acidity” has been on the rise for years, and it starts to paint a rather bleak picture of where we’re headed.
Since acid is literally everywhere, we can’t expect to escape it. What we can do is take steps to alkalize our bodies and improve our health. We can offset the “dirty work” of acids, and bring a balance in pH to our bodies. The results will be greater health, vitality, and zest for life.

I understand that making the body alkaline is important . But what about removing contaminants in the water . Isn`t this as important as being alkaline? I`v been researching several different systems but it seems the ones that make water alkaline do not remove contaminates and the ones that remove contaminates dont make the water alkaline.. I do think the drops wud be better that a system but do they remove contaminates? Thank You…
You are correct, most systems will on do one or the other, that is why we recommend using our drops with pure water
What do you consider “pure” water?
Most of the bottled water is not pure, just regular tap water put into small plastic bottles, easy to carry around.
We recommend using reverse osmosis or distilled water, these are the purest.
My water says reverse osmosis but it also says source: municipal water supply. Would this be pure water?
Yes, that is still reverse osmosis water
1) If I boil water, would the water become somewhat purified?
2) Can I use this product on my herbal tea, e.g. Jasmine?
1. yes boiled is better than not boiled
2. yes you can add the drops to your tea
Wants your body is balanced, do you still take the drops?
You can, to maintain, about 10 drops a day, in water.
does acidity relate to having bacterial vaginosis?
yes. I’ve had chronic BV for 2 years because of an underlying acidity issue.
Are these drops the same as Atomic Iodine drops?
Can I used Brita filtered water? Thanks
Not the same drops/product, yes you can use Brita.
What is the difference between your drops and puriphy drops besides the price? How do these products compare?
Not sure but maybe strength, you can try our drops we have a 60 day money back guarantee.
Can I do just 5 drops on a regular 16oz water bottle?
Yes you can
will this help reduce the inflammation in my throat caused by acid reflux? and will it stop the reflux? also i want to know if acid reflux is chronic?
They say AR is not necessarily chronic, many people have eliminated it through alkaline diet, try it we have a 60 day no risk money back guarantee.
My significant other is being treated for lung cancer. He could not have his last chemo treatment because of his white blood cell count being too low. His PH was also low. I heard about alkaline drops and have now purchased distilled water. We have a water filter attached to tap water. Is that okay to use or would the distilled water be better. Are all alkaline drops the same? If not, what makes yours better. Is it safe for a chemo patient to be using these drops? The nurses and doctors tell us nothing other than the white blood cells are low.
Distilled water is better. Not all drops are the same, read this here – http://www.alkavision.com/how-plasma-ph-compare/
is distilled water alkaline?
Usually no
Is it possible to become too alkaline from taking too many drops? And how do you know if you’re balanced?
You can try ph strips but they are not very accurate, some of the symptoms of overly alkaline can be
Confusion (can progress to stupor or coma)
Hand tremor.
Light-headedness.
Muscle twitching.
Nausea, vomiting.
Numbness or tingling in the face, hands, or feet.
Prolonged muscle spasms (tetany)
hello, i’ve been using supergreen and ph drops for years and now i’m breaking out with hisamines and i’m wondering could my body have too much alkaline or what because this has been going on for seven months and i cannot get rid of bareaking out, so maybe you can tell me have i been using ph too long or is there something else i can use, i have been using ph and supergreen for about ten years, and im wondering can there be a problem?
I havent heard of this, you can try switching brands, stopping all supplementation for a month or until problem goes away, also watch your sugar, dairy or citrus intake or any other things that you could be allergic to.
Hi. I used the alkaline drops in the recommended water, but in a 8 oz glass of water, the PH strips only showed a noticeable improvement in the top 1″ of water after application of drops, and when stirred, the PH balance went back up. How much should one use to achieve complete alkalinity ?
Thank you.
Ph strips are not very reliable, we recommend using this ph meter – http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PU0W35K
my daughter has been diagnosed with bacteria infection in her tubes and that her PH was way off could this also be the result of her having an IUD. Dr has her on antibotics. I am very not happy with this. Any suggestions.
Plasma pH will help with ph in her system, but I would do some research on using probiotics to fight bacteria vs antibiotics due to harm, side effects and other
where can I find an alkaline diet/list of alkaline producing foods?
since age 15 dr told me I had a very acidic body. Is that why I get yeast easily & every 6or so yrs. I get these. Lg. deep under my skin cyst that hurt so bad? The dermatologist told me they must be cutout to get whole saç or it will come up again somewhere else? I have 2 coming up now, 1st.inside leg where elastic fr. Underwear rubs my topof leg almost near vaginal area(had a few in that area) other is in my area of butt where elastic runs.That one seems to be giving me low back pain. I just found I have osteoperosis (never liked dairy) Will this acidic body make osteoperosis harder to deal with ? Also have mild facet arthritis in lumbar spine.will Celebrex help with facet inflammation & is that or cyst. Causing very low back pain? My dr doesn’t say much about anything but to send me to a different specialist .I tell him how I feel like a man with a bad prostate he sends me to urologist telling me I could have cancer. Last urine test he found microscopic blood & some white cells .Ive had kidney stones b4 & had blood cells in urine. I asked him about doing another urine test but sec.Told him something wasn’t raised but what if I have more red blood in urine aGain? My stones were so big after they tried to break w ultrasound , I still passed stones that were so big even hospital nurse said she never saw stones that big. She’s use to seeing sand size & I had passed big stones..he never saw calculi in ureters or bladder but. Couldn’t see kidney due to bowels . I’ve also had a colonoscopy found what grows there & mine were the kind that turn to cancer. He wanted me done every yr. but you need a ride to stay whole time & I don’t have one & it’s been 21/2 yrs. Is acid causing all my skin & other problems?
I’ve been suffering with non-stop yeast infections/bacterial vaginosis. When I visit the obgyn all he provides are creams which temporarily solve the issue or one time some pills. Neither works. Now I suffered last night from a sharp lower abdominal pain along with being three weeks late on my menstrual cycle and I believe it’s due to a bacteria infection. Do you believe anything here could help?
Yes you can try our plasma ph drops. Let us know how it works for you!
Can you tell me if this product , which sounds similar to the product I use now, Water Oz Body Alkalizer in a one ounce bottle, are in fact similar? This product greatly reduces my cramping issues in my legs, arms, hands, and feet. Particularly my legs due to back surgery and neck problems. That product has not failed me in 12 years but is no longer available , has helped me more than anything a list of doctors had me try for these spasms. Thank you for your time.
Jeff
Yes it is similar, you can try it we have a 60 day money back guarantee.
Hello, I’m a Colon Hydrotherapist and I’m interested in learning more about your products for my clients and I.
What ingredients are in the product? I am on Coumadin, a blood thinner and need to find out if it interacts in anyway to medicine.
Thanks
Adriane
Can I use these drops with Berkey filtered water? Are the benefits the same if not using distilled water?
yes, you can use them with that filter or any other pure water!
Has this been shown to help psoriasis before??
What are the ingredients
please refer to the FAQ page
How long will it take to see a difference in the way I feel if this is a problem.
About two weeks
I drink alkaline water that says its 9.5 alkaline. Would it be too much drink this water and use the drops?
Thanks!
