Digestive Problems and Ionized Water
Prof. Kogure Keizou, Kogure Clinic of Juntendo Hospital
"The stomach is readily upset both by diseases affecting the stomach and by other general
illnesses. In addition, any nervous tension or anxiety frequently causes gastric upset, vague
symptoms when This information is under some strain.
The important role of antioxidant water in our stomach is to neutralize the secretion and
strengthen it s functions. Usually, after consuming the antioxidant water for 1 to 3 minutes, the
gastric juice increase to 1½ times. For those suffering from hypochlorhydria or achlorhydria (
low in gastric juice ) the presence of antioxidant water will stimulate the stomach cells to secrete
more gastric juice. This in turn enhances digestion and absorption of minerals.
However, on the other hand, those with hyperchlorhydria ( high in gastric juice ), the antioxidant
water neutralizes the excessive gastric juice. Hence, it does not create any adverse reaction.
According to the medical lecturer from Maeba University, the pH of the gastric secretion will still
remain normal when antioxidant water is consumed. This proves that the ability of the
antioxidant water is able to neutralize as well as to stimulate the secretion."

What Happens to Alkaline Water in The Acid Stomach?

A byproduct of the production of hypochloric acid, (stomach juice) is sodium bicarbonate,an important alkaline buffer. It is released directly into the blood stream, not into the stomach.

Doesn't The Stomach Acid Destroy Alkaline Water?
We will let Sang Whang, holder of many degrees in science and engineering and a holder of many patents as well as the author of many books on alkalinity and the body, including, "Reverse Aging" answer that seeming paradox.
"What happens to the alkaline water once it reaches the stomach, which is highly acidic'" People who have some knowledge of the human body, including medical doctors, ask this question. Let me answer that question once and for all to erase any doubts about the health benefits of alkaline water.
In order to digest food and kill the kinds of bacteria and viruses that come with the food, the inside of our stomach is acidic. The stomach pH value is maintained at around 4. When we eat food and drink water, especially alkaline water, the pH value inside the stomach goes up. When this happens, there is a feedback mechanism in our stomach to detect this and commands the stomach wall to secrete more hydrochloric acid into the stomach to bring the pH value back to 4. So the stomach becomes acidic again. When we drink more alkaline water, more hydrochloric acid is secreted to maintain the stomach pH value. It seems like a losing battle.
However, when you understand how the stomach wall makes hydrochloric acid, your concerns will disappear. A pathologist friend of mine gave me the following explanation. There is no hydrochloric acid pouch in our body. If there were, it would burn a hole in our body. The cells in our stomach wall must produce it on an instantly-as-needed basis. The ingredients in the stomach cell that make hydrochloric acid (HCl) are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sodium chloride (NaCl) or potassium chloride (KCl).
NaCl + H2O + CO2 = HCl + NaHCO3, or
KCl + H2O + CO2 = HCl + KHCO3
As we can see, the byproduct of making hydrochloric acid is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3), which goes into blood stream. These bicarbonates are the alkaline buffers that neutralize excess acids in the blood.

Amazing, isn't it? The alkaline water stimulates the stomach to make more acid, to restore it to the proper Ph to compensate for the increase in alkalinity caused by the alkaline water. In so doing, a by product of the acid production in the stomach, where it is needed for proper digestion, is the production of sodium bicarbonate, the alkaline buffer that the body needs a store of to prevent or cure acidosis of the blood.

Diabetics, Vegetarians in Danger of Blindness, Nerve Damage From Medicine and Diet
Vitamin B12 is fittingly known as the energy vitamin, and your body requires it for a number of vital functions. Among them: energy production, blood formation, DNA synthesis, and myelin formation. Myelin is insulation that protects your nerve endings and allows them to communicate with one another.
About 30% of People on Metformin exhibit a deficiency of B12, as Metformin interferes with the body's ability to extract the vitamin from food in the lower intestine.
Additionally, those who take antacid medication for acid reflux, heart burn, etc. also suffer B12 deficiency because of insufficient production of stomach acid, which is needed to break food down to release B12.
Vegetarians too are chronically B12 deficient because vegetables do not contain enough B12, compared to animal products.
Blindness, peripheral neuropathy, heart and mental problems have been linked to B12 deficiency.
Also, as you age, your digestive tract releases less hypocloric acid which means less efficient digestion and subsequent retrieval of B12 and other nutrients from food.
