Kidney Disease

Kidney Disease
Ionized, Alkaline water significantly reduces the burden of kidneys. This is important for everyone, but acutely important for those who suffer kidney disease. Kidneys require copious amounts of water for detoxification, yet many kidney patients must limit their fluid intake. What little intake is allowed can be maximized with Kangen Water... consult with your physician.

Prof. Kuwata Keijiroo, Doctor of Medicine, Japan

Dr Kerijiroo explains that for severe kidney failure, water intake has to be restricted. However whereas ordinary tap water "contains phosphate, calcium carbonate and the acidic ions. . . . [that] tend to reduce the efficiency of the calcium ions. . . ." he feels that in controlled amounts, Alkaline Ionic water will "strengthen the heart and increase urination."

He goes on to claim that over the next six to twelve months, the patient should maintain an alkaline diet (reduced animal protein) and continue drinking the Alkaline Ionic water to reduce the amounts of urea and uric acid in the blood. He also feels that, through his clinical experience that patients undergoing kidney dialysis should also drink Alkaline Ionic water as well as those patients with kidney disease who do not respond to drugs.

The difference between drinking alkaline ionic water and normal water is that the excretion of urine is slightly more than intake. However, for severe kidney failure patients, water intake has to be restricted. Consuming alkaline ionic water for these patients in controlled amounts proved to be beneficial. Normal tap water contains phosphate, calcium carbonate and the acidic ions. These acidic ions tend to reduce the efficiency of the calcium ions. Pure alkaline ionic water does not have these problems and it can effectively strengthen the heart and increase urination.

After consuming the alkaline ionic water for a month, the amount of urea and uric acid in the blood will show a marked improvement but will not disappear completely. However, if you continue to drink alkaline ionic water for a period of 6 to 12 months, the urea and uric acid should be grossly reduced. Intake of protein during this period should also be controlled; persistent drinking of alkaline ionic water should eliminate the toxic effect of the urea and uric acid from the body.

According to a foreign paper report, patients undergoing dialysis tend to have their negative ions significantly reduced and the positive ions increased. Hence, according to the above experiment and from my personal clinical experience, drinking alkaline ionic water increases the positive ions which will have a significant effect on various kidney diseases. When kidney diseases do not respond to various drugs, it is good to treat them with alkaline ionic water.

I started my ex on this water about 2 months ago. He's been on dialysis for about a year now and this is what he reports. He's not supposed to drink as much as other people...32 oz is what they recommended. He told me that he's noticed a lot of changes since taking the water and is telling everyone about it.

His blood pressure used to drop after dialysis and now it's not dropping as low. He had neuropathy in his feet and he now has feeling in his feet. He has more energy than he used to.

Abstract:
Metabolic acidosis can occur as a result of either the accumulation of endogenous acids or loss of bicarbonate from the gastrointestinal tract or the kidney, which represent common causes of metabolic acidosis. The appropriate treatment of acute metabolic acidosis has been very controversial. Ionized alkaline water was not evaluated in such groups of patients in spite of its safety and reported benefits. So, we aimed to assess its efficacy in the management of metabolic acidosis in animal models. Two models of metabolic acidosis were created in dogs and rats. The first model of renal failure was induced by ligation of both ureters; and the second model was induced by urinary diversion to gut (gastrointestinal bicarbonate loss model). Both models were subjected to ionized alkaline water (orally and by hemodialysis). Dogs with renal failure were assigned to two groups according to the type of dialysate utilized during hemodialysis sessions, the first was utilizing alkaline water and the second was utilizing conventional water. Another two groups of animals with urinary diversion were arranged to receive oral alkaline water and tap water. In renal failure animal models, acid-base parameters improved significantly after hemodialysis with ionized alkaline water compared with the conventional water treated with reverse osmosis (RO). Similar results were observed in urinary diversion models as there was significant improvement of both the partial pressure of carbon dioxide and serum bicarbonate (P = 0.007 and 0.001 respectively) after utilizing alkaline water orally. Alkaline ionized water can be considered as a major safe strategy in the management of metabolic acidosis secondary to renal failure or dialysis or urinary diversion. Human studies are indicated in the near future to confirm this issue in humans.

Thoughts on Kangen Water from a Surgeons point of View

Medical conditions that require Fluid Restriction:

• Congestive heart failure

• Chronic renal failure

• Chronic lung disease

The volume of water needs to be monitored. A weakened heart can’t effectively pump blood out of the heart. Fluid restriction reduces the work load. However, sips of water can still be beneficial.

Chronic Renal Failure – Type one Diabetes is the most common cause. Even those with kidney failure can drink Kangen Water, just may have to be a limited amount.

End Stage Renal Disease—must be careful with intake of any liquid. Dialysis or kidney transplant is good answer. Get the amount of allowable daily liquid from the doctor.
