PREFACE

Dr. Otto Warburg, 1931 Nobel Laureate, often said, “No disease, including cancer, can exist in an alkaline environment.” While many people attempt to base their meal plans on this alkaline-is-better concept, they may be surprised to know that water should also be included in their alkaline-based lifestyle. What simpler method could be employed?

Scientists have stated that there is a link between hyperacidity of the body and eroding health. Many studies have pointed to problems such as osteoporosis (weakening of the bones), hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, cancer, early onset of aging, and obesity as diseased states that are caused by and/or exacerbated by the body being in an acidic state.

About Us!Bob Will and Missy Guitterrez have a passion for healthy

living. They also have a passion for helping others. Their vision of combining interests in an alkaline-based lifestyle along with the desire to provide a place for educational

enrichment compelled them to pioneer a different sort of concept to serve their community. Peak Alkalinity LLC was born,

and the residents of Fairhope, Alabama and surrounding areas are now makingstrides into relatively uncharted territory. Peak Alkalinity prides itself as a place to learn, ask questions, and embark on a potentially disease-free journey to reverse aging. With just one visit, you will get a sense of the unquenchable desire to make a difference. It clearly governs our course of business and our state of being.

What ’s Wrong with “Plain Water”?Adult bodies are comprised of approximately 65% WATER! Yes, it is hard to believe, but true. Babies are comprised of almost 90% water! As a matter of fact, according to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. Dr. Mercola states that about 73% of the brain is water and that it uses 20% of the total oxygen in the body (an important fact to be addressed later). For these reasons the QUANTITY and QUALITY of the water we drink has a huge impact on our health and well-being.

Question: Have you ever noticed what accumulates and grows on your shower curtain or in your toilet bowl if you stretch out the frequency of your cleaning? Among other things, water readily grows mold, bacteria, fungus, and algae. We see evidence of that. Have you ever wondered why bottled water with a 2-5 year shelf life doesn’t do the same? The answer is rather simple: both tap and bottled water are either acidic, contain chemicals, or both! While marketing has trained us to believe differently, processed and chemically treated water isn’t the healthiest thing that we can consume. Ionized alkaline water is far superior. Please allow us to explain as the details unfold.

Is Regular Water Harmful? Great Question!

PROTECT YOURSELF & YOUR LOVED ONES!The Case of the Mysterious Toxic WaterNo matter how hard they try, did you know that city treatment plants are unable to remove all particulates and contaminants from your tap water? City water suppliers often have to add chemicals such as chlorine (to kill bacteria in the water) or lime (to raise the pH). Spend several hours, as we have, at your local water treatment facility. We believe that you will come away with a different perspective. While the effort is valiant, the outcomes, often, cannot keep pace. To our chagrin, we additionally discovered that many bottled waters are simply tap water that has been bottled and shipped to your local grocery… yet we are paying a premium for something we have been led to believe is different.

So What’s the Big Deal About pH?Normal blood pH is approximately 7.2 - 7.4. Drinking acidic water can cause your body to become prone to absorbing substances that are toxic such as mercury, lead, and other dangerous contaminants found in our modern environment. A continued acidic condition can destroy cell walls. This causes corroding of the

Page 8: THE INSIDE OUT - Peak Alkalinity | Water Ionizers...Discovering Optimal Health from THE INSIDE OUT 11 BENEFITS OF DRINKING ALKALINE WATER EVERY DAY Robert Will and Milissa Guitterrez

7

veins and arteries, and eventually, entire organs. When you drink acidic water, gulp soda, ingest coffee or alcohol, or eat acidic substances, your body must work harder to maintain optimal pH balance. Our bodies are a sophisticated, self-regulating powerhouse that’s programmed for survival. So, you may ask, how do our bodies make the pH adjustment? When deficiencies occur, the body strips calcium from your teeth and skeletal structure along with stripping magnesium from the heart. These minerals are alkaline enough to bring blood chemistry back into balance. It seems as though this is an easy enough solution, however, it is one that solves only an immediate issue. If chronic acidic conditions exist, much broader, longer term health issues arise.

All Water is Not Created Equal!Consuming acidic water can actually cause your body to form free radicals. Free radicals are positively charged molecules which are chemically unstable. The unstable molecules can cause tissue damage, premature aging, and can cause you to feel poorly day in and day out. Anyone out there sick and tired of being sick and tired?

Even worse, acidic water lacks minerals. When you drink water that lacks required minerals that the body needs, it begins to act as a solvent, and will actually dissolve essential minerals from within your body in order to compensate.

And There’s MORE!Most plastic water bottles are composed of Bisphenol A (BPA), a highly toxic chemical. BPA is a form of synthetic estrogen developed in the 1930s. In common use since 1957, its safety has long been in question. As consumers have become more aware of BPA and its use, companies are readily replacing it with Bisphenol S (BPS) which entered the marketplace rather rapidly. As a society on the move, bottles are frequently carried and left in vehicles. During seasons of high heat temperatures, the heat causes excessive BPA/BPS leaching from the plastic of the bottles into the water, and ultimately, into our bodies. These artificial substances are but a few of the toxins ingested on a regular basis that are contributing to unhealthy bodies and states of unwanted disease.

The Many Health Benefits of

Benefits in a Nutshell

BONE HEALTHAn acidic, diseased body causes essential minerals to be stripped from your bones and teeth. Alkaline water helps your bones to maintain their density by disrupting the need for excess calcium in order for the body to maintain proper pH.

DETOXIFIES YOUR SYSTEMAlkaline water cleanses your body. Acidic water destroys cell walls and impacts metabolic function.

HEALTHY BLOOD PRESSUREMineral deficiencies precipitated by consuming acidic substances will raise blood pressure. In contrast, mineral rich alkaline water has been shown to improve mineral uptake even in those who have had a difficult time absorbing essential minerals. This can lead to lower blood pressure.

ANTIOXIDANTS & HYDRATIONAlkaline water is micro clustered, thereby prompting antioxidant levels in the body to rise, along with hydrating your body, 8X faster than plain water.

Alkaline water has a number of advantages. As an alternative to regular tap or bottled water, it can soothe acid reflux, reduce body fat, support bone health and

neutralize acid in the bloodstream which will benefit the cardiovascular system in many ways. On the cellular level, it enhances delivery of much needed nutrients to the cells. As we previously mentioned, the natural antioxidants in alkaline water neutralize dangerous free radicals. Furthermore, alkaline concentration can help draw environmental toxins and pharmaceuticals from the body and into the urine to be excreted. All of this, in combination, results in a body with vibrant health and an abundance of energy.

Contrasting, tap water is disinfected in order to protect you from bacteria and other contaminants. While devastating waterborne diseases such as typhoid, dysentery and cholera have been eradicated by achievements in public health, disinfecting our water supplies has not occurred without unfortunate consequence. When these disinfectants interact with organic matter in ordinary water, disinfectant byproducts (DBPs) form. Although 600+ are known to be in existence, the most widely known and regulated DBPs, Trihalomethanes (THMs) and Haloacetic Acids (HAA5), can have adverse effects on health when exposed at high concentrations. When consumed overtime, these toxic byproducts have been linked to cancer, early term miscarriage and low birth weight. There’s no surprise that our society has become more sickly even in the midst of technological advances. While it would be a challenge to altogether eliminate DBPs originating from municipality water treatment plants, you can protect the body and minimize DBPs that are ingested by drinking alkaline water. Alkaline water effectively breaks down DBPs, thereby allowing water that is clean and free from harmful materials to be consumed.

When Are the Optimal Times toDRINK ALKALINE WATER?

A.M.

Have your first glass when you arise.

Drink more 30-45 minutes before breakfast.

Drink another 30-45 minutes before lunch.

P.M.

Have a glass 30-45 minutes before dinner.

Drink more an hour after dinner.

Drink another shortly before retiring.

For best results, we recommend you drink a minimum of 6 - 8 glasses of alkaline water every day. More specifically, for optimal hydration, one should consume half of their body weight in ounces of water daily. For best results, we recommend you drink a minimum of 6 - 8 glasses of alkaline water every day. More specifically, for optimal hydration, one should consume half of their body weight in ounces of water daily.

One should refrain from consuming alkaline water with meals, as neutralizing gastric acid would not promote proper digestion. It is best to drink purified water during this time. Of additional importance, alkaline water should not be consumed when taking medication as it could disrupt the sustained release properties or enteric coating present in some medications.

THE ELEVEN BENEFITS OF DRINKING ALKALINE WATER EVERY DAY:

Benefit #1 - Improved pH Levels!

Alkaline water balances body pH.

All of your bodily systems, including your immune system, function optimally when your body’s pH is slightly alkaline. Acid salts can build up and stiffen cells thus allowing the aging process of our bodies to begin prematurely. An alkaline environment causes acid salts, such as phosphates and urates, to dissipate. When your body’s pH is within normal parameters you become the beneficiary of better health! As a broad guide to alkaline living, we are providing a general chart below that will reveal where different types of foods and beverages fall along the pH scale. Keep in mind that the minute

Page 13: THE INSIDE OUT - Peak Alkalinity | Water Ionizers...Discovering Optimal Health from THE INSIDE OUT 11 BENEFITS OF DRINKING ALKALINE WATER EVERY DAY Robert Will and Milissa Guitterrez

12

your food is cooked, it begins to become acidic. This is why “raw” diets are preferable when someone is in a highly diseased state of being. While an alkaline diet is very beneficial, we hope to demonstrate in the following pages that there is no substitute for the ease of drinking pure and clean alkaline water.

Benefit #2Body Detoxification!

Alkaline water cleanses and detoxifies the entire body by neutralizing pH levels. As we become better hydrated, the body is more readily able to flush

Page 14: THE INSIDE OUT - Peak Alkalinity | Water Ionizers...Discovering Optimal Health from THE INSIDE OUT 11 BENEFITS OF DRINKING ALKALINE WATER EVERY DAY Robert Will and Milissa Guitterrez

13

and rid itself of harmful toxins while allowing for key nutrient absorption.

Cellular Level DetoxEach cell in your body can store toxins and fatty acids. Alkaline water contains bicarbonates, which neutralize this acidic waste, and allows it to be flushed from your system.

Kidney DetoxAlkaline water forces the body to release acidic toxins, which have been stored over time, so they can be expelled from your body.

As an added benefit, kidney stones are more readily dissolved in an alkaline solution!

Muscle DetoxAlkaline water helps the muscles neutralize and flush away lactic acid so that extreme soreness becomes a thing of the past.

Liver DetoxThe Mayo Clinic website states that the liver is responsible for more than 5,000 different functions in the body every single day! Alkaline water increases the levels of antioxidants in the liver, particularly Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), which helps the liver work more efficiently at cleansing your body.

Page 15: THE INSIDE OUT - Peak Alkalinity | Water Ionizers...Discovering Optimal Health from THE INSIDE OUT 11 BENEFITS OF DRINKING ALKALINE WATER EVERY DAY Robert Will and Milissa Guitterrez

14

Benefit #3 - Hydration!

Have you heard? Headaches could very well be an initial sign of dehydration. Many studies have pointed to the vast physical benefits of drinking ionized alkaline water. It super-hydrates your body by breaking down the electrical bonding of water molecules and restructuring them into microclusters which are more quickly and easily absorbed. Our bodies are mostly water (roughly 65%), and every living cell in the body needs water to keep functioning. After 3 days without it, dehydration can readily lead to peril. Water is essential for life!

Page 16: THE INSIDE OUT - Peak Alkalinity | Water Ionizers...Discovering Optimal Health from THE INSIDE OUT 11 BENEFITS OF DRINKING ALKALINE WATER EVERY DAY Robert Will and Milissa Guitterrez

15

Benefit #4Improved Elimination!

Improved elimination goes hand-in-hand with improved hydration since being hydrated helps to keep your digestive system, particularly your colon, lubricated.

When you become dehydrated your colon is the first organ to feel the effects, resulting in constipation.

Constipation can lead to a myriad of health issues, including hemorrhoids, rectal prolapse, and increased toxicity.

Toxicity occurs when water is unnecessarily built-up in the colon for a period of time. Waste then bio-degrades, and toxins are then released into your system. In fact, it is not unusual for most people to walk around with an additional five pounds of waste in their intestinal tract. NOT GOOD!

It has been shown that the intestines work best in an alkaline state at a pH of 8.3. Drinking alkaline water enhances elimination by promoting the growth of microflora. Microflora have the job of breaking down toxins for elimination, thus, allowing your body to work more efficiently which can often lead to weight loss.

16

Benefit #5Improved Metabolism!

Many of the foods you eat, particularly processed junk food, increase the acidic level in your body. Harmful toxins thrive in an acidic environment! As a result, your body will create fat cells, which can lead to obesity, to facilitate in neutralizing the acid.

Alkaline water naturally neutralizes the acids in your body. Accordingly, your body does not feel the need to create neutralizing fat cells.

By drinking alkaline water in combination with a clean diet, your cells will no longer store these fatty acids which are toxic in your system. Your body will begin to release excess fat, and you will begin to feel more energized.

In addition to weight loss, your body will be able to absorb nutrients in a more efficient and impactful manner. Increased nutrient absorption lends itself to a healthier state of being. Alkaline water, along with proper nutrition and exercise, will produce astounding results. Throw bottled water, fad diets and trendy exercise regimens out. Healthy, clean and natural living never goes out of style and generates more consistent results for a longer period of time.

17

Benefit #6Cardiovasular System!

When your body is in an acidic state, it is difficult to assimilate crucial nutrients and minerals. Among others, magnesium is regarded as being critical to cardiovascular well-being. In fact, magnesium is so imperative for optimal heart health that paramedics and doctors give heart attack patients an injection of magnesium to instantly stabilize their blood pressure and heart rhythm.

Having deficiencies in trace minerals, such as magnesium, can cause heartbeat irregularities and high blood pressure. In order to maintain healthy mineral levels, it is best to accrue between 10% - 20% of your daily magnesium from the water you drink.

Were you aware that drinking alkaline water has been shown to reduce high blood pressure? A water ionizer converts magnesium bicarbonate in tap water into magnesium hydroxide. This is more easily absorbed by your body as a quicker and more concentrated means of delivering the daily recommended levels of calcium and magnesium.

If your body is adequately hydrated, there is more life-giving water in your cardiovascular system. Thus, the heart does not need to work as hard to pump blood through your veins and arteries.

Additionally, maintaining an alkaline state in your body will also reduce bad, or low density lipoprotein (LDL), cholesterol levels. Healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels allow your heart to be more efficient, improve blood flow, and ultimately, perform its daily function with less strain.

Page 19: THE INSIDE OUT - Peak Alkalinity | Water Ionizers...Discovering Optimal Health from THE INSIDE OUT 11 BENEFITS OF DRINKING ALKALINE WATER EVERY DAY Robert Will and Milissa Guitterrez

Benefit #7Athletic Enhancement!

As most people are aware, exercise is one of the most important things you can do for your health. It has many great benefits for your muscles, skin, weight, and mood.

Exercise, nevertheless, produces byproducts such as free radicals and lactic acid which cause sore muscles, pain and cramping, and lowers the pH of bodily fluids drastically.

Alkaline water helps to disperse these byproducts, as well as: 1. Gives you more energy due to its ability to inhibit oxidation.2. Allows for faster post-workout recovery by flushing lactic acid out of your

muscles.3. Gives you greater endurance as it counteracts muscle fatigue and improves

lung function. 10X more oxygen is delivered in the body as you drink water at a pH level above 9.

4. Helps you enjoy improved hydration as microclustered ions penetrate 8X faster at the cellular level.

Optimal athletic health comes with sweating out metabolic waste, replacing water loss and terminating chain reactions that damage cells as a result of free radical activity. While important during your exercise regimen, drinking alkaline water is equally significant during the recovery period following rigorous exercise.

With a better hydrated body, you will be able to use oxygen more efficiently, enjoy greater endurance and recover faster from physical exertion.

Benefit #8A Modern Day Fountain of Youth?

It is irrefutable that keeping your body hydrated is the key to looking and feeling younger!

Did you know that drinking alkaline water offers unprecedented benefits to fight the process of aging?

How? The body experiences oxidation when there is free radical damage. Oxidation is a primary cause of aging. When free radicals invade the cells in your body, DNA damage can occur. Upon DNA replication, the damage is also replicated.

Alkaline water contains potent antioxidant properties. These antioxidants

Page 21: THE INSIDE OUT - Peak Alkalinity | Water Ionizers...Discovering Optimal Health from THE INSIDE OUT 11 BENEFITS OF DRINKING ALKALINE WATER EVERY DAY Robert Will and Milissa Guitterrez

20

protect your cells from unnecessary, destructive effects on the body.

When your body receives a surge of negative electrons, facilitated by drinking alkaline water, positively charged ions are neutralized (as well as their potential to damage and cause aging).

Have you ever imagined that you could actually reverse the aging of your organs? It’s a fact! Alkaline water reaches all systems, to not only go skin deep, but to actually turn back the hands of time. For an interesting read, check out the book Reverse Aging by Sang Wang.

Page 22: THE INSIDE OUT - Peak Alkalinity | Water Ionizers...Discovering Optimal Health from THE INSIDE OUT 11 BENEFITS OF DRINKING ALKALINE WATER EVERY DAY Robert Will and Milissa Guitterrez

99% of calcium and 80-90% of phosphorus is present in your bones and teeth. These minerals provide rigidity and hardness needed to support functional strength in everyday activities.

If your body’s blood level is not in proper pH balance, it will draw calcium from your bones and teeth to buffer excess acidity. This can cause many health issues down the road, including osteopenia and osteoporosis.

Studies have shown that alkaline water can eliminate the stripping of calcium, which in turn, helps your body to properly absorb these minerals, which results in the restoration of calcium and phosphorus in your bones and teeth. In fact, studies on women over 75 years of age demonstrated that there were decreases in factors that speed bone loss. This was proven

through the measurement of parathyroid hormone levels and a peptide test that measured the rate of tissue turnover. Alkaline water helped these women to create bone tissue faster than they were losing it, and the rate of calcium loss was lower than that of a control group.

Fun fact: Did you realize that your body absorbs calcium from water more readily than calcium from food? Why? Food has to be broken down by digestive enzymes, converted into a substance suitable for absorption, and assimilated into the body. This entire process takes about 6 - 8 hours. Alkaline water doesn’t have to go through the digestive function. It’s readily absorbed as soon as you begin to drink! How much easier can it be?

21

Benefit #9: Improved Skeletal (Bone)System Health!!

Page 23: THE INSIDE OUT - Peak Alkalinity | Water Ionizers...Discovering Optimal Health from THE INSIDE OUT 11 BENEFITS OF DRINKING ALKALINE WATER EVERY DAY Robert Will and Milissa Guitterrez

Ever wondered about the largest organ of your body? It’s your SKIN! Yes, that’s right! One of the best things you can do for healthy, glowing skin is to drink alkaline water. In a relatively short period of time, you should begin to see improved skin tone, elasticity, and skin clarity.

Drinking alkaline water is like having a daily facial. Are you familiar with an oxygen facial? Chances are that your favorite day spa offers one. Drinking alkaline water at a 9.5pH level has the potential to provide 10X more oxygen to the body. It’s like having an oxygen facial daily without the added cost and time commitment. Your skin will feel amazing and everyone will want to know the secret to your glow!

22

Benefit #10: Improved Skin (Integumentary System) Health

Page 24: THE INSIDE OUT - Peak Alkalinity | Water Ionizers...Discovering Optimal Health from THE INSIDE OUT 11 BENEFITS OF DRINKING ALKALINE WATER EVERY DAY Robert Will and Milissa Guitterrez

Benefit #11Improved Circulation

Alkaline water helps bring the body into pH balance as it provides lots of oxygen and a lower blood viscosity - increasing circulation.

As is stated in the Harvard Health Publishing, “Is Blood Like Your Waistline - The Thinner The Better?”:

1. Among other things, chronic inflammation, diabetes, homocysteine, the stickiness of your platelets, and, of course, your genes, can increase the viscosity, or thickness, of your blood.

2. “Sticky” blood damages the heart and blood vessels. 3. Red blood cells have the greatest influence on the blood’s viscosity

since they account for up to half its volume. Your hematocrit is a measure of both the number and the size of red blood cells. In men, a normal

23

Page 25: THE INSIDE OUT - Peak Alkalinity | Water Ionizers...Discovering Optimal Health from THE INSIDE OUT 11 BENEFITS OF DRINKING ALKALINE WATER EVERY DAY Robert Will and Milissa Guitterrez

24

hematocrit is between 41% and 53%, meaning red blood cells account for 41%–53% of blood volume; in women, it is between 36% and 46%. At these percentages, it’s easy to see why keeping them pliable is a must.

4. Drinking 10 – 12 glasses of water a day can make your blood thinner and less sticky.

Many sufferers of diseased states could benefit from improved circulation. One such example would be diabetics. Diabetics, in general, struggle with circulatory problems which can ultimately result in amputation of digits, or limbs, in a worst-case scenario. Yet another group would be those with cardiovascular disease. As blood platelets have an important role or function in atherosclerosis and formation of thrombi, malleable platelets that allow for lower platelet aggregation or concentration could aid in decreased incidence of coronary heart disease. While diabetes and cardiovascular disease are the two chronic illnesses that we’ve made mention of as examples, they are certainly not the only two conditions in which improved circulation can assist. As such, alkaline water is a potentially convenient, easy, and inexpensive tool to compliment disease management and the prescribed protocol from your healthcare provider!

One Last Word...

While the notion of “being alkaline” may appear to be in vogue as of late, it has long been a way of life in overseas cultures that have placed a premium on health. Obesity is virtually non-existent and long life spans are the norm. Would you like to experience optimal health and join the ranks of our hydro enthusiasts? We would welcome the opportunity to help you to live the life you’ve always dreamed of!

Health, happiness and alkalinity! Bob and Missy
