I want to know how alkaline water can assist with chronic illness

As a healthcare professional specializing in chronic disease prevention and treatment, I believe that quality drinking water is one of the most important keys to health, well-being and longevity. Interestingly, a recent study has shown a link between the quality of drinking water and life expectancy [1].

We don't like the taste of our municipal water supply, and the fact that it contains carcinogenic THMs. Further, our municipal water is fluoridated. Fluoride is a known neurotoxin [2] and a recent systematic review has shown that fluoride adversely effect neurological development and intelligence in children. Fluoride can be used topically to prevent cavities, but adding fluoride into the drinking water for cavities prevention is unnecessary and dangerous.

As a scientist, I am impressed with the independent chemical analysis of the water, particularly on total carbon, THMs, fluoride and the levels of essential trace minerals. The slightly alkaline pH (~8.0) is optimal for drinking water and aids in regulating stomach acidity and the blood (body) pH.

We purchased our zazen over 2 months ago and are impressed with the crystal clear taste (there was an initial period of a week or two where the water tasted like it had too many minerals in it, due to the initial burst of minerals from the mineral stones, but otherwise the water is silky smooth and tastes crystal clear). In addition, we have noticed an improvement in our hydration levels. My wife and I have noticed that we urinate less frequently and attribute this to the optimal balance of minerals in zazen water. Our energy levels are also extremely high. Further, as an athlete, I engage in a lot of vigorous training and sport and have noticed that since drinking zazen water, I have not had one episode of muscle cramping late into my exercise sessions (this was a common occurrence before).

The only criticism I have of the zazen system is that the lower tank is not large enough! We love our water so much that we commonly drink it dry! Maybe we need to purchase a second system.

I only recommend products that I believe in and use personally. I love our zazen water system and cannot recommend it highly enough I am so impressed with the product that I have actually become a reseller and have started recommending and selling the product to family, friends, and clients. The feedback has been extremely positive.
