Spoken content of the second part of the interview with Sang Whang

Sang Whang:

That's the important fact...you don't remove alkaline minerals, just the pollutants

Yasin Akgün: How old are you?

Sang Whang: I am 77 years old

Y: 77. I was born in 1977 and just turned 32 last Saturday!

Now back to the technical part of the water ionizer. Mr. Sang Whang You have installed a water flow control valve on your ionizer. Why does this matter?

Sang Whang: This gives our ionizer flexibility. You have to realize that every local water supply is different. The quality, the ingredients and the print are always different. That's why we also need a flexibly adjustable ionization device! And with this easily adjustable rotary valve you can always set the exact flow rate.

Y: Ok, then you can use it to determine the pressure based on the flow rate!

Sang Whang: Yes, exactly

Y: So what flow rate is recommended then? 2 liters, 3 liters per minute?

Sang Whang: For me it's not the flow rate that's interesting, but rather achieving a Ph 10.

Y: Then would you suggest drinking Ph 10 from time to time? Should a normal person like me drink Ph10 or Ph9? What do you recommend!

Sang Whang: I know that some countries suggest ph 9, ph 9.5...but the technology originally came from Japan 70 years ago

Y: 70!

Sang Whang: Exactly! 70 years ago! I can read Japanese and I know the original research reports. PH10, a 5ml glass 300 times a day is recommended.

Y: When you're sick and in everyday life like that?

Sang Whang: If you are in a lot of pain you can drink more. I recommend pH 10 minimum. In Germany, PH 9, 9.5 are recommended, it varies depending on the government, it has more to do with politics.

Y: I have a lot of clients who drink this alkaline water and I noticed that some clients felt bad after a short time when they started drinking the alkaline water? What is that about?

Sang Whang: At the beginning, the body is still used to the usual acidic state and is now experiencing a transition and change. The stomach is used to an acidic state, for example a Coca Cola has a PH value of 2.5! Our body is used to a very acidic level and it is obvious that when we drink alkaline water there are initially some changes take place.

Y: Aha, it would make sense to start with low PH values ​​of 7, 7.5 and then increase to 10? Not true?

Sang Whang: If you start at 10 and then get a headache, then I recommend going lower.

Y: Should you set a low Ph value and drink more? Or if I notice that I'm not feeling so well, should I stop drinking completely or just reduce my pH?

Sang Whang: Lower pH, and don't stop. You can then slowly improve again when you feel better. That the body is not that surprised with pH 10.

Y: Ok, there are some people who think that if you drink alkaline water all the time, that it is not good for our health? I don't think so because I've been drinking regularly for more than a year with pH levels of 9; 9,5 ; 10. Is it OK to drink pH 10 all your life or just every now and then?

Sang Whang: If you know how acid gets into our body through food. We have to eat to generate energy. And we eat constantly throughout our lives. This means you can drink alkaline water all the time!

Y: To neutralize it?

Sang Whang: Exactly

Y: I currently drink an average of 3-4 liters every day, sometimes 5. As you know, I have this watering hole in Munich, the Aquacentrum. I drink the alkaline water several times every day with my clients. I usually don't eat anything in the morning and sometimes I don't eat for the first time until 5 in the afternoon or even later. I'm taking in electrons in the water all the time. So I also drink alkaline water when I'm hungry and it means I don't generally feel so hungry anymore. Is it because of the electrons in the water? Because the food is only converted into electrons. For this reason, is it something like an energy drink that contains electrons, i.e. food in one, so that we are no longer so hungry?

Sang Whang: Yes but you still have to eat and consume food.

Y: Ok, for me I don't have to eat as much anymore.

Sang Whang: Well, I think that's your special case and you always need energy to function.

Y: The energy is in the electrons that are in the water, right?

Sang Whang: No, the energy comes from 4 elements: Nitrogen, Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. These are the energy-giving atoms. And we call them organic minerals. We need this to gain energy otherwise you will become thinner and thinner!

Y: Yes, that’s the case for me too!

Sang Whang: You become thinner and lose weight

Y: What do you recommend for Germany? I mean alkaline water is already very well known in the world and many people know it! Can you tell us what it's like outside of Europe?

Sang Whang: Ionized water started in Japan, then it came to Korea and spread to the Far East and Southeast Asia...and there the ionizers are a lot better known than in Europe and people know about ionization. We talk about the balance of acidic and alkaline water. And balance is very important in many cultures and philosophies. But our world is in a phase where the biggest problem is the scarcity of water. We may have an oil shortage, but many countries already have a water shortage. And water is much more important. If you run out of water you won't live very long. Without oil we can still live for a long time without water. In Europe, awareness of water is just beginning.

Y: Is it more well known around the world than in Europe?

Sang Whang: Yes, much more in other parts of the world. But that doesn't mean that everyone drinks alkaline water. The important thing is not knowing about alkaline water, but rather that you drink alkaline water, otherwise the knowledge is useless. Water ionizers, especially the Alkabest, are particularly good because they filter all harmful substances from the water and make it healthy.

Y: Yes, okay

Sang Whang: So everyone has to decide for themselves whether healthy water or a new computer is important to them. Everyone decides for themselves.

Y: Yes, exactly, you’re right.

Thank you. It was nice to meet you.

And we look forward to your lecture, which will start shortly, and I hope I can exchange emails with you and continue to stay in touch.

Sang Whang: Yes, of course, thank you, it was also nice to meet you.

Y: Thank you, really nice to meet you. You know, in Turkey people kiss your hand when greeting you and when you say goodbye if you are good friends. So I would like to kiss your hand now because we all like you very much and are happy that you give us contact with ionized water.

May I?

Sang Whang: yes, sure!

Y: Thank you (kissing Sang Whang's hand)

Sang Whang: Thank you...(laughter)

Y: see you

Spoken text of the second part of the Interview with Sang Whang

Sang Whang:

this is the important matter!

You don't throw out alkaline minerals, you throw out pollutants!

Yasin Akgün: How old are you?

Sang Whang: I am 77  years old now

Y: 77. I was born in 77 and just got 32 years on the past Saturday.

…..-.About the technical stuff from the ionizer! Your ionizer has an adjustable water valve so you can adjust the water flow.  Is that important and why did you choose this?

Sang Whang: That gives you flexibility! Every water supply is different and has different quality.

When they supply water the water pressure is different.

That's why we need an ionizer that is flexible.

Y: Ok, so you change the water pressure with the water flow.

Sang Whang: Yes

Y: Which water flow do we need? 2 liters, 3 liters a minute?

more or less?

Sang Whang: To me more important is not the speed but to get the ph10.

Y: So your recommendation is drinking by time to time ph 10. Should a normal person like me drink ph 10 or more? Or you I should stay until ph 9? What do you recommend?

Sang Whang: I know some countries recommend ph 9, ph 9.5 and, but original were done in japan 70 years ago

Y: 70!

Sang Whang: Yes 70 years ago. I read Japanese, I know the original research paper. They recommend ph 10, 300ml,  5 times a day each time.

Y: If you have a lot of pain then you can drink more and I will still consider ph 10 minimum.

But in Germany they only recommend 9.5 or 9.

Sang Whang: That's up to individual government, is politics.

Y: Because I have many clients drinking that water and if they start with a higher ph then they somehow get ill? Do you know why?

Sang Whang: Initially your body is so much a custom to low acid pH.

The stomage take more acid like when you drink coca cola ph 2.5.

And we are ok! So because our body is so much custom to an acid environment so that initially our body requires adjustment.

Y: Aha so the best is to start with a lower ph at the beginning? Like 7.5, 8 and then go higher up?

Sang Whang: if you start with ph10 and you get a headache, I recommend to start lower ph.

Y: If I feel that I get a headache or stoma ache or any symptoms I then stop drinking alkaline water or should I go on but drinking lower and more?

Sang Whang: Lower ph rather than stopping. And you can gradually increase  ph so that your body doesn't feel surprised to drink ph 10.

Y: Ok there are some people who say ionized water all the time that shouldn't be good for our health and I am not thinking like that because I am drinking it all right now more then one year and always 9.5, 9, 10 sometimes. Do you think a whole life drinking ph10 all the time or just from time to time like???

Sang Whang: We get acid because we eat food. We have to eat food to get the energy. And food consumption is a constant as long as you eat your food. I tell people as long as you eat food you can always drink the alkaline water as well

Y: to neutralize it

Sang Whang:yeah

Y: I am drinking at the moment every day 4 liters sometimes 5 liters. As I have this shop and I also drink while showing my clients. And I drink a lot. The point is that I don't eat in the morning, I even eat not at 1 o'clock, mostly I eat after 5 o'clock.

Sometimes at ten o'clock the first time! Drinking electrons in the water all the time. And my idea was as I am not so hungry or when I am hungry I drink that water.

Is it because of the electrons? Inside because if you eat food this will also get to electrons, is it for this reason a food or special energy drink? Which makes us not hungry any more? What do you think?

Sang Whang: You still have to eat food.

Y: Ok but it seems like I don't have to eat so much anymore…

Sang Whang: Ok that's your particular case I would say. But you need energy function.

Y:  Energy is in the electrons the water isn't it?

Sang Whang: No, the energy comes from 4 elements: Neutrogen, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen  those arre energy giving atoms.

And we call them organic minerals.

We must eat those to get energy otherwise you will become skinny and skininier.

Y: It's my case.

Sang Whang: Skinny and you lose weight.

Y: What do you recommend for Germany? I mean it looks like around the globe this alkaline water is already done many people know it? Can you explain to us what is going on outside of Europe? and if you compare with europe?

Sang Whang: The ionized water started in Japan, then went into Korea and then spread into far east, and southeast Asia and they are more popular. The people know more about alkalizing the water, they talk about acid and alkaline balance much more. And balance is important in all old philosophies. But the world is at a face where the major problem is the drinking water shortage. We may have a shortage of oil. But those countries some of them do not even have drinking water. And water is a more immediate problem. If you cut off water you can't live too long. You can cut off oil and you still can live long. The European awareness of water is currently a very beginning phase.

Y: So around the world is already much more?

Sang Whang: Around the world is much more known, yes. But still doesn't mean that everyone is drinking the alkaline, ionized water. The important wisdom is not just the knowledge in order to have benefit one must drink the alkaline water otherwise all this knowledge is useless.

Water ionizer especially Alkabest is important because it takes out a harmfull stuff from the water so that you don't get sick when you drink it. Not only that it makes you healthier.

Y: Yes

Sang Whang: So if you ask people: Which do you prefer? Do you want healthy water or do you want a new computer? The importance is up to you.

Y: Yes you are right!

Thank you very much it was very nice to meet you here and we are looking forward for your presentation later on.

And I hope to write you emails or whatever.

Sang Whang: Nice to meet you.

Y: Nice to meet you too. You know the turkish people they make like, if somebody is very respectful, turkish people kiss the hand in order for everybody likes you so much and we are happy to have the contact to the ionized water.

May I?

Sang Whang: Sure

Y: Thank you (kissing Sang Whang's hand)

Sang Whang: Thank you….(laughing)

Y: See you then
