Susanne C.: I really enjoy drinking alkaline active water. However, my husband complained of joint pain after just a few glasses. Is it possible that this was just an initial aggravation for him?
Activated water never causes an acid surge
This can only be answered seriously after a medical examination of your husband. But perhaps it is a suggestive effect, since almost all manufacturers of water ionizers mention the term initial deterioration, which is mostly used in homeopathy, in their operating instructions, probably in order to rule out hasty returns of the device.
Many owners of water ionizers are literally “on the lookout” for such an effect and attribute any discomfort that they would otherwise ignore to the effect of the alkaline activated water. They feel downright happy when an initial deterioration occurs because then they can expect an effect.
Since men are usually responsible for assembly and therefore read the operating instructions, while women only want to use the devices, I almost only know of such “initial aggravations” from men.
Of course, there are a variety of reactions when switching from industrial drinks to functionally deacidifying water. But these are mainly of a taste nature. It is therefore recommended everywhere to start gradually with a lower pH value (pH 8,5).
Especially if someone has been there before —> Reverse osmosis water If you were used to it, you should start with lower pH values. From my experience of over 10 years with many thousands of “beginners”, I can say that 95% have no problems at all if they drink pH 9,0 to 9,5 right from the start.
However, unpleasant taste sensations often occur when someone drinks pH values above 9,5. For many people, this water tastes “lye”.
Some brochures and books promote the idea that the alkaline active water would immediately release all the toxins and toxins that the body had locked away in depots into circulation.
The picture of the “acid flood” is painted on the wall, which would also show up in the joints, where, for example, uric acid crystals are stored and, in the naive imagination, would be dissolved there. In the question chapter —> Detoxify I have already discussed the absurdity of this point of view.
Alkaline activated water can never dissolve more acids from salts than it can neutralize. There is therefore never an acid surge, as the result of neutralization is pH-neutral, i.e. non-acidic. Alkaline active water is a gentle deacidifying agent (“perpetual motion of deacidification”) and never causes an acid surge.
Initial aggravations in joint medicine are known primarily from spa medicine as a bathing reaction. In fact, joint sufferers move ten times easier in the thermal water than on land, so that the unusual joint activity and the increased blood circulation caused by the heat can actually lead to the painful release of uric acid from the blood to the joints in the form of drainage. This would then be a real acid surge, but it would be caused mechanically and thermally. However, according to my many years of experience at Europe's largest thermal bathing resort Bad Füssing, alkaline active water alleviates such not very common bathing reactions.
