Welcome to The only way to get the Cleanest, Healthiest and Best-Tasting Water.

Your Body is approximately 70% Water • Brain 80 - 85% • Kidneys 83 - 88% • Muscles 73 - 78% • Blood 90 - 93% • Bones and teeth • 13 - 22%
Mild dehydration has been shown to contribute to… - Headache - Low Energy - Low Mental Acuity - Low Back Pain - Digestive Disorders - Constipation - Loss of metabolic efficiency - Weight Issues
Chronic Dehydration has been shown to contribute to… - Asthma - Allergies - Arthritis - Type II Diabetes - Hypertension - Obesity
“You are not sick, you are thirsty” - F. Batmanghelidj, MD Dehydration is usually diagnosed and treated as something else! For example it causes low energy and low energy causes poor digestion. Then it is diagnosed as acid reflux and treated with drugs instead of water. Proper hydration is critical to good health and vitality.
Benefits of Optimal Hydration • Better Mental Clarity • Helps Metabolize Fat • Helps Keep Skin Supple & Healthy • Helps Keep Bones Healthy • Better Digestion • Better Detox • Can Help Increase Energy
Some of the world’s Healthiest & Healing Waters Hunza, Lourdes, Trinity Water, Tlacote, Vilcabamba, Research has shown these waters to have three healthy characteristics in common: They are clean and contaminant free They have an alkaline pH They have a unique negative charge
Quality Water = Quality Life What characteristics make quality water? • It hydrates at the cellular level • It provides a rich source of alkaline minerals. Ideally should be alkaline in pH • It is anti-oxidizing rather than oxidizing • It must be clean and contaminant-free
AlkaViva’sproprietary new UltraWater Technology recreates these unique characteristics in the water that comes right from your tap! Now you can Take Back Your Tap and drink the cleanest, healthiestand best tasting water!
Quality Water Characteristic The world’s healthiest waters hydrate effectively at the cellular level. Ionized UltraWater is micro-clustered and negatively charged, increasing absorption. #1
Micro-clustering and Hydration The microclustering effect and the negative charge make ionized water more hydrating than other waters!
Tea Test: Ionized alkaline UltraWater penetrates the tea bag faster and more efficiently. Tap Water UltraWater
Quality Water Characteristic The world’s healthiest waters supply a rich source of beneficial alkalizing minerals and tend to have an alkaline pH. UltraWater is alkaline. #2
Why the Acid / Alkaline Balance? The most important fluid – blood - is slightly alkaline at pH 7.365. The ability to carry oxygen is directly impacted by blood health / pH. Body utilizes various systems to maintain blood pH – it’s a survival priority.
The Acid / Alkaline Balance The body’s pH balancing system is overwhelmed by our modern diet and lifestyle. “We have turned an evolutionary corner. We simply do not handle acid waste the way we used to.” - Lynda Frassetto MD, Researcher, University of California, Berkeley
Can our bodies handle this acid overload? Arthur C. Guyton, M.D., inTextbook of Medical Physiology: “The first steps in maintaining health is to alkalize the body (pH or acid/alkaline balance). Changes in pH alter virtually all body functions.The cells of a healthy body are [mainly] alkaline while the cells of a diseased body are below a pH of 7.0. The more acidic the cell, the sicker we become.If the body cannot alkalize the cells they will become acidic and thus, disease sets in.”
What are you drinking? How acidic or alkalineare your beverages?
How Dehydration and Acidosis work together • Overload cells with acidic waste • Cells need to flushacidicwaste • Dehydration makes flushing less effective • Cellular Acidosis or Toxicity results 70 - 80% of us are dehydrated!
Quality Water Characteristic The world’s healthiest waters are antioxidant rather than oxidizing. Ionized UltraWater has a powerful and measurable antioxidant potential. #3
Antioxidants “Scientists now believe that free radicals are causal factors in nearly every known disease and aging ” - Dr. Lester Packer, University of California, Berkeley • Oxidation deteriorates the surface it attacks. It is paramount in the process we call "aging” • Modern lifestyle causes oxidation • Antioxidants stop oxidation and slow this process.
Antioxidants "It is virtually impossible to get the optimal amount of antioxidants through food alone."- Dr. Lester Packer, University of California, Berkeley • Antioxidant potential can be measured (in millivolts or mv ) Positive (+mv) reading: causesoxidation = oxidizer Negative (-mv) reading: reducesoxidation = antioxidant
What are you drinking? Tap Water Bottled Water Orange Juice (concentrate) All have an oxidizing positive ORP
Ionized UltraWater has a strong negative ORP ORP numbers vary and can range up to -800mv depending on the model and your source water
Quality Water Characteristic The world’s healthiest waters are contaminant-free Patent pending UltraWater technology sets a new standard in filtration. It is the only filter capable of producing water that is virtually contaminant-free. #4
Who is going to look out for you? Over 60,000 chemicals are used in the US. • The overwhelming majority are not regulated. • The EPA regulates only 114 contaminants. • Not a single contaminant has been added to the list since 2000.
The Safe Water Drinking Act requires your local water provider to meet EPA regulations. • Testing can be skewed. “Averaging” allow toxins to be over limit for a substantial part of the year. Here is the kicker… “Nearly a quarter of the nation’s treatment plants have violated the Safe Water Drinking act over the last five years.”
THIS SLIDE IS NOT FOR PUBLIC VIEW Add your Local Water Authority information Like the Examplein the previous slide. Find yours at: http://www.ewg.org/tap-water/whatsinyourwater Type your local water supplier into the search bar in the top right. Zip code is less effective. Use your water supplier.
ARE YOU DRINKING ARSENIC? The Natural Resources Defense Council estimates that as many as 56 million Americans living in 25 states drink water with arsenic at unsafe levels. \
“Inorganic arsenic is a powerful carcinogen that has been linked to an increased risk of several types of cancer.” - Joseph Mercola M.D. Is any level of arsenic in your drinking water safe for you?
Fluoride: Beneficial or Toxic? It’s your decision. But do yourself a favor: read the research and professional opinions of those in the know. “In point of fact, fluoride causes more human cancer death, and causes it faster than any other chemical.” -Dean Burk, Ph.D. Former Director of the National Cancer Institute
Some Fluoride research: • 18 human studies show fluoride exposure causes IQ deficits in children • According to The National Research Council exposure can result in loss of bone density and strength. • The National Research Council found that fluoride has an adverse effect on thyroid function • Over 10 animal studies show that rats and mice ingesting fluoride have a reduced capacity to learn and remember. • For more info visit the Fluoride Action Network’s website: http://fluoridealert.org/
Pharmaceuticals “Pharmaceutical chemicals and hormones [56 in total] have been detected in the drinking water of over 41 million Americans, and not all water systems have been tested.” Associated Press 9/01/2008
What about heavy metals? Severe effects include reduced growth and development, cancer, organ damage, nervous system damage, and in extreme cases, death. Exposure to some metals, such as mercury, and lead, may also cause development of autoimmunity, in which a person’s immune system attacks its own cells.
But I drink Bottled water…it’s safer right? Think again! • Testing in 2008 by the EWG, found 38 pollutants in 10 brands of bottled water, including disinfection byproducts, industrial chemicals, radioactivity and bacteria. • One popular brand was found to contain flame • retardant, disinfectant and chloroform. • It is less regulated than tap water • It is also bad for the environment and your wallet!
But I drink filtered water – I am protected right? • Simple carbon will reduce some basic contaminants, but does nothing to address the vast majority of • Ceramics with small enough pore size are good for biologicals, but are not effective • at even basic • contaminants • like chlorine. BRITA TEST DATA • Filter products most often DO NOT OFFER COMPREHENSIVE TESTING across a broad range of contaminants.
So who can you trust to look out for your water safety? • Not the EPA… • Not your local provider… • Bottled water is not the answer… • Carbon filters will not protect you…
YOU have to do it! Take back your tap with • It’s Ultra Clean • Reducing up to 99.99% of: • Pharmaceuticals • Heavy metals • Arsenic & Fluoride • Chromium VI • Chlorine, Chloramine • VOCs • Organics • Inorganics Full lab test results can be seen at www.alkaviva.com
