My
name is Bob Giddens. I am 68 (Jan 2010)
and I started drinking Living Water Essentials water 2
months before writing this report. I have enjoyed excellent
health all my life, but I did a diligent trial for 30 days
to see what would happen with respect to one special
problem. I drank lots of ionized, alkaline water and almost
nothing else...hardly a drop of milk, tea, juice or any
other beverage. Just water, water, more water. We cooked
with Living Water, too. The concepts of improving my
hydration, reducing my body's acidity, and eliminating bad
beverages made sense, and I wanted to see how effective the
ionized water concept could be.
Something amazing happened, but not in those
first 30 days.
Without a doubt, I slept better, and my wife
had a miraculous benefit
when her menstrual cycle migraines
disappeared; however, I was looking for something else.
For years I had leg discomfort when
sitting in a meeting, in a car or airplane, on the sofa to
watch a movie, or when I lay in bed to sleep. My solution
was aspirin, which gave wonderful relief
for 4 hours, almost to the minute. To sleep longer, I had to
take another aspirin. I had zero problems when I was active;
the low grade pain only started when I sat or lay in one
place. When this problem did not resolve itself during my 30-day
trial of the alkaline water I was a little disappointed.
Three days before writing the first draft of
this testimonial I went to bed without taking aspirin. My
legs had been fine as I watched a football game and I just
didn't think about it. I slept through the night, well
beyond my usual 4-hour shift. I knew this was noteworthy
when it happened 2 days in a row. Had I tried to go to bed
without an aspirin 3 months ago it would have been
impossible. I would have been up to get aspirin in 1 minute;
then I'd count down 20 minutes as the aspirin worked its way
into my system. If I were out of aspirin I'd have to get in
the car and buy some or skip a night's sleep. It was that
much of a problem.
Yesterday I got distracted (early
errands) and my routine broke down. For 2
months I have been starting each day with a 6 big glasses of
high ORP, alkaline water in the first 4 or 5 hours of the
morning. That's a lot, but it was a routine I could handle. This concentration of water in the morning allowed me to
drink normally through the rest of the day and, therefore, I
wasn't always having to pee. Returning from
my errands, I realized I had skipped my routine. In a
moment of curiosity, I decided to skip drinking alkaline
water for that day. What a difference. At 8:00 PM I sat
on the sofa to watch a movie. The low grade pain was there
within 10 minutes…like a smoldering fire—not hot
but just a smoldering discomfort throughout the
legs and feet. I rubbed my legs, got up and walked around,
and finally took an aspirin. I needed another aspirin just
after midnight when I was getting ready for bed.
A week has passed since I wrote the above
paragraph. It’s amazing how well
this works. This morning I drnk my 6 glasses (96
ounces), and I know the leg problems won't
be there this evening.
It's sad that the public—even health professionals—do not
know about this. It's also sad that so much discipline is
required. It takes a big commitment to flush that much water
through my body day after day. It would be easy to say,
"It's not worth the bother." But if the result is something
you want, it is worth the bother.
The technology to make alkaline drinking
water (discharging the acidic part—about 40%)
has been known for 4 decades, and the impact on the body is
wonderful. Acidosis is a medical condition having to do with
the pH of the blood. I am not talking about acidosis. I'm
talking about having acid wastes build up throughout the
body (in tissues and fat). Almost
everyone has this problem to some extent and it becomes worse with age.
Every old person has aches and pains. Could acid be a
contributing factor. Stored acid wastes
come from bad food choices, from aging, even from metabolism
(breaking down food and converting it to energy).
My layman's guess is that the acidity of my body was
contributing to my
discomfort. Gradually, over 7 weeks of using this water, I
eliminated a lot of that acid. Now I don't
have to suffer that slow burning feeling.
So simple. So healthful.
What will I do when I go on
a trip. If I go by car I can take a lot of water. If I go by
plane I'll take
my aspirin bottle.
I had heard about alkaline water for years but never wanted to listen to the
details. I thought it was kooky. Not anymore! If it was a
valid thing, I thought, everyone would know about it. I hope
my layman story convinces other people to at least check
this out. I had never heard about the ionization aspect of
modern alkaline water. It's a lot different than just adding
an alkaline substance to regular water.
My wife Mila is 35 (Mar 2011).
For more than 15 years she had 3 to 4 days of terrible
migraine headaches associated with her menstruation. Do the
math: near 200 consecutive periods. Usually she could
not work and just had to suffer.
Two weeks after starting on this water she had her period.
Zero headaches. Not even a trace. One cycle later she had a
minor headache on one day. One cycle later, no headaches. Is
this wonderful, or what? Go
here
to enjoy a video recording of her story.
We wonder how many benefits are possible.
It’s basically the same idea as eating a better diet,
exercising more, or getting sufficient rest: another good
lifestyle change that can, potentially, make a world of
difference.
