Water is the basis of life. It is the single most important nutrient for our bodies and is considered a "miracle cure" for many health conditions. It is involved in every function of our body.
Your body loses about two quarts of water a day through perspiration, urination, and exhalation. If you wait until you are thirsty to drink water, then you are most likely already dehydrated.
Almost 70% of the human body is made up of water. Water plays two major roles in human metabolism. It delivers oxygen and nutrients throughout the body and it flushes out toxins during the metabolic process.
Did you know...?
You muscles are about 75% water.
Your brain cells are about 85% water.
Your blood is approximately 82% water.
Your bones are approximately 25% water.
How Is Water Related To Health?
A recognized physician, F.Batmanghelidj, MD in his book titled ‘Water for Health, for Healing, for Life', points out some of the benefits of keeping your body properly hydrated:
Water is the main lubricant in the joint spaces and helps prevent arthritis and back pain.
Water increases the efficiency of the immune system.
Water prevents clogging of arteries in the heart and brain, and thus helps reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Water is directly connected to brain function.
Water helps prevent memory loss as we age, reducing the risk of degenerative diseases.
Water affects our appearance, making our skin smoother and giving it sparkling luster; it also reduces the effects of aging.
Did you know...?
Chlorine, is the Anti-Vitamin.
Chlorinated water can destroy nutrients your body needs: Vitamins A, B, C, and E, and fatty acids. Chronic skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, and eczema may clear or improve by simple switching to unchlorinated drinking water.)
The water we drink from typical sources is very different from the water that constitutes 70% of our body. Our water has been depleted of all the minerals and nutrients that once was naturally found in water...So, what do we really need?
A way to return our water to what it once was, to restore the necessary minerals back into our internal water system. There is now a product that actually puts these resources back into our existing water.
Scientists have patented a new product that makes it easy to have good health drinking good water again. A product called, Xtreme x2o!
Why Do We Need Xtreme x2o?
What are the benefits of drinking Xtreme x2o?
1) Hydrate: Xtreme x2o actually makes our water "wetter" by physically changing the molecular structure. This dramatically improves your body's hydration at the cellular level.
2) Mineralize: Xtreme x2o contains calcium, magnesium and over 70 trace minerals. These essential minerals (electrolytes) become ionic in water allowing them to be absorbed quickly and easily.
3) Revitalize: Alkalinity = good health. Xtreme x2o transforms your water into a powerful alkalizing agent while creating numerous beneficial antioxidants. This radically reduces stress levels and slows the aging process caused by today's fast-paced lifestyles.
Now, with Xtreme x2o, you can drink to your pink of health! So safe, even your children can enjoy all the benefits without need to boil!
Next month look for my article addressing what happens if we don't keep our bodies ph balanced... And then we'll also talk about losing weight drinking water.

The Role Acidity Has On Health
What's This Thing Called pH And What Does it Have To Do With Acidity?
Technically speaking, pH stands for the Power of Hydrogen. Broken down to the simplest form, our bodies are composed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. The pH measures the action of hydrogen and the balance of acidity and alkalinity in the body.
When testing the acidity of the body, say the arterial blood, you would test the pH. When testing pH, the result is a number from 0 to 14. Neutral is 7 with lower numbers representing an acidic condition and higher numbers representing an alkaline condition.
Our bodies are alkaline by design. All of the cells that make up the body are slightly alkaline and must stay that way to remain healthy and alive. The optimum range of body pH is from 7.2 to 7.6, slightly alkaline, with the normal for arterial blood as 7.4.
Why Do We Become Acidic? The pH measures the condition of critical bodily fluids. These fluids make up our internal environment that is critical to our health. Simply stated, an acid system is conducive to sickness while alkalinity is required for normal healthy cellular function.
Every living cell within our body creates acidic waste products! Nutrients from the food we eat are delivered to each cell and burn with oxygen to provide energy for us to live. The by-product of this metabolic process is waste products. Virtually all waste products are acidic and therefore must be discharged from our body, typically disposed of through the urine, perspiration and exhaling carbon dioxide.
One of the possible causes of the aging process and a host of potential chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, sarcopenia, kidney stones, osteoporosis and stroke to name a few is the accumulation of acidic wastes in the body due to years of having a condition called low-grade acidosis that has a corresponding lowered blood pH.
It is now believed by many authorities, that most adult degenerative diseases may develop because of a lowering of the function and resistance of the body due to chronic acidosis. Acidosis is thought to precede and cause disease. The well body succumbs to physical disorders when its own acid debris accumulates to the point where resistance is broken down and the body becomes susceptible to cold, fatigue, nerve exhaustion and eventually degenerative disease.
Why is it so Difficult to Stay Alkaline? Our bodies are in a constant state of metabolizing. The problem is that the process of metabolism creates acid, which is needed for energy and other biochemical processes. Normal healthy metabolism creates acid wastes such as cholesterol, uric acid and acetic acid. Even with the best diet these acid wastes are unavoidable but they must be neutralized and eliminated from the body or harsh consequences will result.
To further compound the problem, our food, water and air are loaded with acid forming substances like chlorine and an increasing assortment of chemicals. Soft drinks, especially colas (pH 2.5), are extremely acid forming and are the mainstay of our children's diets. Poor choices of foods, acidic ingredients and low mineral content all contribute to a condition of acid overload.
Maintaining a proper, slightly alkaline pH is considered the most important aspect of a healthy body and a long disease-free life. An imbalance of alkalinity creates a condition favorable to the growth of bacteria, viruses, yeast and other harmful organisms.
Accumulation of acid wastes are also closely linked with degenerative disease, lack of vitality and aging in general. Even when there is no toxic substances in our food, there are waste products that must either be eliminated or stored. Toxins change into poison and must be detoxified or they will eventually destroy the system.
Our Bodies Defense Systems - The human body has an incredible ability to maintain life, however the compensations our bodies are forced to make come with a price. As the damage accumulates over a period of years we may experience no obvious ill effects but eventually the bill comes due and we pay the price.
Having an acidic pH is like driving your car with the oil light on. The car will continue to run without any apparent problem but eventually it will simply stop. To maintain life our blood and cells must be defended against all of this acidity. Should we become too acidic, we would die.
Fortunately we have what amounts to an alkaline mineral bank in our bicarbonate reserves. To buffer the acid overload the body will make withdrawals from this bank account. While this is effective in the short term, in the long run we see our bicarbonate reserves become depleted and bones becoming more brittle with age that can result in osteoporosis.
Another way the body alkalizes the blood and raises the pH is to solidify acids in the blood and deposit them as solid wastes in the tissues of the body. This enables our blood to remain in an acceptable alkaline pH range but as these harmful by-products accumulate, overall pH goes lower or more acidic, oxygen levels fall, and the seeds of a variety of degenerative diseases are sowed.
This process of gradually depleting minerals from the bones and building up acidic deposits in body tissues is a slow one. For many years we have no symptoms, no clue as to the storm that is building. Eventually we begin to experience aches and soreness, declining energy levels, and other subtle signs that we associate with getting older.
These are not an inevitable part of getting older. They are warning signs. Many adult chronic conditions may be directly associated with an acid pH and a low grade acidosis.
What is the Aging Process? As we age, we gradually dry up at the cellular level. As the years go by, the cells of the body (where all biochemical processes occur) become thicker. As a result the amounts of vital nutrients and oxygen brought into them declines while the amounts of toxins and metabolic waste products increases. The result is a loss of youthful cellular function and the beginnings of degenerative disease.
Can This be Avoided? Consider this: "Dr. Alexis Carrell, a famous French physiologist, conducted an experiment in which he took cells from the heart of a chicken and put them in a solution containing minerals and nutrients in the same proportion as chicken blood. Every day he changed the solution keeping the fluids constant and disposing of the waste products produced by the cells. The result, for which he won a Nobel Prize, was the chicken heart lived for over 28 years. When he stopped changing the solution the cells promptly died."
As revealing as this experiment was, the question remains, how can we accomplish this in the living system? What steps can we take to achieve similar results? To answer that question, we first must explore the cause of aging.
The Cause of Aging - Phosphoric Acid is produced in protein metabolism. Excess amounts are solidified as salts and can result in the formation of kidney stones. These acid salts also build up in the walls of our cells and cause them to stiffen. The resulting thickening creates an inability to properly hydrate the cells. It also creates a severe decline in nutrient and oxygen delivery into the cells and toxin and waste removal from the cells. In other words, a steady decline in cellular function results in what we call aging. Highly alkaline nutrients found in fruits and vegetables can wash these acid salts away and help return cells to a more youthful level of function.
How Health Conditions Are Linked to Acidity
Osteoporosis - One highly alkaline mineral responsible for neutralizing acids in the body is calcium. If we allow our pH to decline into an acidic condition the body is forced to withdraw calcium from the bones and teeth in order to maintain life.
In spite of the tremendous push over the last 20 years for calcium supplementation, the incidence of osteoporosis has increased dramatically. The drain placed on bone mineral content by excess acidity is simply too great. The prevalence of low or acid pH places incredible strain on our bones and teeth. In areas like where the Hunza people live, they are blessed with abundant highly-alkaline drinking water and eat alkaline fruits andvegetables problems like osteoporosis do not exist.
Cardiovascular Disease - Cholesterol is an acidic by-product of fat metabolism. As the body becomes more acidic, it defends itself by solidifying cholesterol in the blood and depositing it in the cells of our blood vessels. Over a period of years plaque builds until circulation is impaired resulting in surgery, medication or heart attacks and strokes.
When pH is raised to an alkaline condition the body is better able to neutralize these wastes and flush them out of the system. Not only does it help accumulation of plaque to stop but deposits may be dissolved, neutralized and washed away as well.
Arthritis - Another by-product of normal healthy metabolism is uric acid. Like cholesterol the body deals with excesses by solidifying it into a salt that tends to build up in the joints. The result is gout and arthritis. This accumulated acid can damage cartilage and irritate joints. Blood can not carry out wastes as effectively in the joints, which is why the acids tend to accumulate there. Consuming highly alkaline foods can do a good job of cleaning out the uric acid over time, remembering that it took years for the damage to accumulate.
Immune Function - The immune system is a sophisticated clean-up service. It is composed of your body's army of white blood cells or natural killer (NK) cells. Each NK cell is manufactured by your body as needed to kill off a specific invader. For example, there is a specific cell to kill cancer, another one for the cold germ, and still another for a virus. Sometimes, the pathogens multiply faster than the body can manufacture the matching NK cell hence advanced health challenges.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could help the immune system by preventing these pathogens from taking hold in the first place? Bacteria, viruses, moulds, yeast and fungus that attack our bodies thrive in an acidic environment. In a slightly alkaline environment they are weakened significantly and do not multiply efficiently.
In the preferred slightly alkaline pH range, the immune system can clear the potentially harmful microbes out more easily, often before we have any symptoms. They are weakened and do not multiply as prolifically. Ultimately health wins out.
Vitality - An acidic condition also corresponds to low oxygen levels. There is a direct correlation between pH and available oxygen. An alkaline environment provides literally thousands of times the oxygen needed for all bodily functions. Oxygen is essential to energy production. In very simple terms, natural energy production in the body boils down to oxygen burning hydrogen.
Another aspect of energy and vitality versus fatigue is proper enzyme activity. Acids literally turn off enzymes, which are tiny proteins that control chemical reactions. Without enzymes there is no life. Maintaining an alkaline pH in the range of 7.2 to 7.6 is critical to slowing down degeneration and maintaining a more youthful vitality.
Research in this field has been advanced by two world renowned scientists, Anthony Sebastian, MD and Lynda Frassetto, MD along with a team of their collogues from the University of California, San Francisco, Department of Medicine and General Clinical Research Center.
A summary of one of their scientific studies was published in the prestigious Journal of Gerontology in 1996, entitled "Age and Systemic Acid-Base Equilibrium: Analysis of Published Data" Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, Vol 51, Issue 1 B91-B99. The abstract is as follows:
Abstract of the Research Study - To investigate whether systemic acid-base equilibrium changes with aging in normal adult humans, we reviewed published articles reporting the acid-base composition of arterial, arterialized venous, or capillary blood in age-identified healthy subjects. We extracted or calculated blood hydrogen ion concentration ([H+]), plasma bicarbonate concentration ([HCO3(-)]), blood PCO2, and age, and computed a total of 61 age-group means, distributed among eight 10-year intervals from age 20 to100 years. Using linear regression analysis, we found that with increasing age, there is a significant increase in the steady-state blood [H+] (p < .001), and reduction in steady-state plasma [HCO3(-)] (p < .001), indicative of a progressively worsening low-level metabolic acidosis. Blood PCO2 decreased with age (p < .05), in keeping with the expected respiratory adaptation to metabolic acidosis. Such age-related increasing metabolic acidosis may reflect in part the normal decline of renal function with increasing age. The role of age-related metabolic acidosis in the pathogenesis of the degenerative diseases of aging warrants consideration. Explanation of the Research Study - Drs. Sebastian and Frassetto's research took samples of arterial blood from hundreds of people age 20 to 100 years to measure the pH level of acid wastes and their level of bicarbonate reserves. The study showed that as one gets older there's an increase in the accumulation of acid wastes and a corresponding decrease of alkaline bicarbonate [HCO3] reserves in the blood. Bicarbonates are the alkaline buffer reserves the body uses to neutralize acids. Figure 2 graph B, of their study showed that the alkaline bicarbonate reserves of the group remained fairly constant until the age of 45 and then it dropped off very sharply in a steep linear decline with an overall dramatic loss by the age of 90. By the way, 45 years of age is when most people start to show symptoms of the chronic diseases of aging like hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity and many others that gradually worsen as people get older. Drs. Sebastian and Frassetto's attribute the increase in acidic waste and reduction of the bicarbonate reserves in the blood as we age to generations of consuming the modern American diet that is high sodium intake and low in potassium. This type of relationship is reverse of what is healthy and contributes to an excess of sodium and a deficiency of potassium. The reduction of bicarbonates in the blood makes it difficult for the body to handle the continuous outpour of acid and nearly impossible for it to eliminate acid wastes. This is why it's felt that systemic acidosis caused from insufficient levels of bicarbonates in the blood may be responsible for many of the acid-induced degenerative diseases. Layman's Interpretation of the Research Study - In layman's terms, this study shows that as we age we have more acid radicals [H+] and less blood bicarbonates [HCO3], the alkaline minerals stored in the body whose job it is to neutralize excess acids, which can lead to age-related metabolic acidosis and resultant chronic disease. From reading this study one could deduce if the accumulation of acids due to metabolic acidosis cause the degenerative diseases of aging, then if a person could reduce the accumulation of acids in the body and decrease metabolic acidosis, maybe they could prevent the degenerative diseases commonly thought of as inevitable. The Bottom Line - The decline of bicarbonates in the blood with a corresponding increase of acids and a lowering of the arterial pH may promote aging and chronic conditions. Some may say that the reduction of bicarbonates is an unavoidable result of aging. However others suggest that the reduction of bicarbonates is the primary cause of physiological aging.

Importance of pH
VIBRANT HEALTH Starts With pH Balance!
Your body is really no different than many other living bodies:
-
Fish need the water that they swim in to be the correct pH - or they get sick and die.
-
Plants need the pH of the soil in which they live to be perfect in order to flourish.
-
Even good old Planet Earth needs balance...the balance between ALKALINE oxygen and ACIDIC carbon dioxide. And we all know what excess carbon dioxide emissions (imbalance) can do to the planet.
We welcome you to discover how your body's pH level impacts your overall health. We also wish to help you rediscover what we at Xooma call VIBRANT HEALTH.
When you think of the word "Health", what comes to mind?
Some would consider themselves "Healthy" if they were simply free from weight issues, digestive problems, aches and pains, or had more energy. At Xooma, we strive to help people discover the kind of health that is far greater than simply not being ill.
VIBRANT HEALTH actually donates and adds value to the rest of your life. It means that you have excess energy, a clear mind, a radiant glow, and a body that operates in a peak state.
Here's why pH Balance is so core to your health...and your life:
Because LIFE only exists where there's balance, and your body is totally regulated by pH!
Even though you are designed to operate in an alkaline state, your cells must produce acid in order to function. Optimal health...LIFE...can be found when those two forces are in balance.
When your body moves out of balance, LIFE takes a back seat.
Ultimately, when you discover pH Balance and get your body into this optimal state, you'll set the ENVIRONMENT for the 50 trillion cells that make up your body to thrive. Your skin cells will thrive, your blood cells will thrive, your muscle cells will thrive, your bone cells will thrive, your brain cells will thrive and on and on.
VIBRANT CELLS are the building blocks of a VIBRANT BODY and VIBRANT HEALTH...
and it ALL starts with pH Balance!
Forget counting calories, fat grams, and cholesterol. Forget blood pressure, blood sugar, and hormone levels. The single most important health measurement is the pH level in your blood. Now unlock the surprisingly crucial role of your pH balance. How acidic or alkaline your blood is (pH levels) directly affects your health. For example, if the blood becomes overly acidic it can lead to weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and more.
Science proves that fish in our oceans and lakes can only survive in properly balanced environments; trees in our forests can only grow in properly balanced soils; and people can only stay healthy if the body has a balance between its levels of ACID and ALKALINE
What is Acid/alkaline balance anyway?
acid/alkaline balance is all about what minerals stores, or "buffers" we have in our body. Too much acid and certain symptoms begin to appear.
Bob Livingston, Natural Health author summarizes the whole point well. He says:
“It is now believed by many authorities that most disease develops because of a lowering of the function and resistance of the body due to chronic acidosis. In this connection, Dr. George W. Crile, past head of the Crile Clinic in Cleveland and a world renown surgeons says, ‘There is no natural death. All deaths from so-called natural causes are merely the end-point of a progressive acid saturation.’
Acidosis precedes and provokes disease. The well body succumbs to physical disorders when its own acid debris accumulates to the point where resistance is broken down and the body consequently becomes suceptible to cold, fatigue, nerve exhaustion and degenrative disease.
When the body reaches limits of increasing toxins within the body, the digestive tract, or any of the body tissues, it begins a house-cleaning process that takes various forms: diarrhea, headache, colds, skin eruptions, abscesses or boils, rheumatism, inflammation of the eyes or other organs, catarrhs, chills, fevers, or anything that we recognize as acute disease. But all these spring from a common originating cause, an accumulation of acid waste in the body.”
(From: Foods That Alkalinize And Heal, by Mary C. Hogle.)
It is the minerals left in the body after consuming food that make up our balance, and therefore our ability to operate at maximum effeciency. It's like a car having good oil, but it sure can't fulfill its function for if we have poor quality or acidic corrosive oil!
A seven-year study conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, on 9,000 women showed that those who have chronic acidosis are at greater risk for bone loss than those who have normal pH levels. Scientists who carried out this experiment believe that many of the hip fractures prevalent among middle-aged women are connected to high acidity caused by a diet rich in animal foods and low in vegetables. This is because the body borrows calcium from the bones in order to balance pH. — American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
There is an abundance of information available on the important role acid/alkaline balance plays in our health.
We at Xooma hold the simple yet ground breaking solution X2O.
X2O is cost effective, portable,convenient and complementary to all other wellness products.
Once people understand the power of X2O they will never want to drink anything else!
X2O penetrates many markets:
- Wellness
- Sickness
- Weight loss
- Bottled water
- Sports & fitness
- Anti aging
It’s up to all of us to share X2O with the people we come in contact with each day.
We can make a difference

Can you see the potential?
Personally, I never expect that this simple program had keep me pondering. Will this be just like another e-Commerce? Only time will tell.
Why? Because History will repeat itself!
The principle of Network Marketing is the vehicle by which any great product or service can be moved.
1st — Tupperware Corporation.
Tupperware was developed and founded, in 1938 by Earl Tupper. In 1946 they introduced Tupper Plastics to hardware and department stores. These were mom and pop organizations since there weren’t any major retail stores like we have today. Tupperware was not accepted at first, because societies’ thinking was not along the lines of sealing food in a plastic container. Retail sales from these stores lagged. So, in 1951, Mr. Tupper pulled all of his products from the stores and launched a network marketing campaign. By the 1970’s Tupperware was a household name throughout America. Today, somewhere in the world, there is a Tupperware demonstration every two seconds! Sales now exceed $1.2 Billion annually!
2nd — Shaklee.
Shaklee was founded in 1956 by Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee along with his sons. Their products were nutritional supplements. The thinking of society at this time, and in the medical industry, was not on nutritional supplements. Only after WWII did the think of the medical community begin to change from curing diseases to maintaining proper health to prevent diseases. This helped fuel the growth for Shaklee. But Shaklee never took off until the 1970’s when they saw explosive growth, using the vehicle of Network Marketing.
There are a couple of items that I’d like to discuss about these companies before I talk about the third one.
Both companies were developed in a time in America when neither of these products were heard of or needed by society. So for approximately 20 years they had to educate people that they needed these products. When society accepted what they had to offer, these companies exploded in sales. Notice how long it took for these companies to get where they were going. 86% of the American people do not like change; they had to be educated to see that they needed these products. This takes stamina, money and even patience.
3rd – Xooma Worldwide.
This company is different from the other two because of the products and the thinking of society at the time of its formation.
Xooma was started by Ron Howell in 2005 with 15 years infrastructure and became one of the largest wellness company in America, in just 3 years! A Multi billion dollar giant in just 3 years! Do you see the difference in these three companies?
The key difference is the education of a society about a product. The first two had to educate society about their products while the third just rode the wave!
Most importantly, the vehicle for growth, Network Marketing! By turning on the people power through network marketing, along with all the other elements involved, we will make a fast and significant impact in the business world.

Reflection Time
Today my assistance manager and I do sharing on our way back home. This is the first time both of share so much. Both of us just keep praising our God. How Great is our God....
I really amaze by how God work in my life especially this past few year. From a non-believer to believer. How much I have change.
No matter how bad my situation He is always still faithfully by my side and always will sent an angel to provide my needs. Even thou I am a lazy Christian. He have love me so much even I never done anything in return. How I wish I am able to do more for Him.....
Thanks Lord for all the things that you have provided in my life :)
Tendering and changing job
I have make up my mind on changing the job. Have already told my Deputy Director today but it through the phone. Which is the least prefer method. I wanted to tell him personal but I have no choice.
I never inform my direct manager about it first because he is having his exam paper. Therefore I go directly tell my Deputy Director. After I break the news to him, he mention he will call my manager immediately. He will talk to me again tomorrow again.
I really don't wish to end up like that. It just that offer don't always come and it will never be the right time to leave a job. That is what people be telling me. At least the new job, I have better career advancement and I really can make use my degree after I graduate from NUS.

Water or Coke?
Water or Coke? I could not believe this..... Very interesting
WATER
#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half the world population)
#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.
#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%.
#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
#5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
#7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a ! printed page.
#8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%., and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water
you should drink every day?
COKE
#1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from
the highway after a car accident.
#2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.
#3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the 'real thing' sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous China .
#4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
#5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
#6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
#7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
#8... To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION:
#1. the active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.
#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about 20 years!
Now the question is, would you like a glass of water?
or Coke?

The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. --Genesis 1:1, 11-12

Eat more Bread and drink less Water?
Is not usual for me to post two message a day but this is something really special from my best friend that I must note it down.
“Hi Friends the other day I was listening to talk back radio here in Adelaide. Yes I should have been listening to a CD… Anyway I couldn’t believe it. They had a so called Nutrionist on who said there is no need to drink water as we get all the water we need by eating and drinking normally. She went on to say that as bread was 35% water so by eating bread and that beer was mainly water. You were getting all the water you need.
Wow!
No wonder the health of the next generation is going backwards. I was wondering what her reason was. Maybe someone got to her? Maybe she was bought or brainwashed or…? Maybe this is a conspiracy by the companies who make…
1) Beer
2) Soft drinks
3) Bread
4) The drug companies
It’s sad that so called experts can’t be relied on. Anyway lets go back to old truths. Our grandmothers knew and our own bodies know.
Trust your body!
Give it water!
Our bodies are crying out for more water!
Not only do we need 8 glasses and more…But we need X2O in the water!
Folks it’s time we stand up and spread the news. Don’t allow these so called experts to hurt the health of the community further. If some drank even less, just imagine the health cost.
We all have testimonials of people who have increased their Hydration with x2o and have had health benefits. Yes it’s obvious and it works! It wasn’t long ago many said smoking was good for you but what will happen if we allow these kind of untruths to spread…?
Fortunately…
Xooma is a Network Marketing company!
We depends on word of mouth. The truth would never get out in the retail world. We all have a job to do!
Please share x2o with others and make a difference!
It’s up to all of us.
Who can you share x2o with?
So now it’s water. If you are to believe what the media has been saying over the last couple of weeks, there are no health benefits to drinking water. Drinking water or cola are pretty much the same thing. And dehydration is a myth.
Really?
No, not really. As usual, the media got the story all wrong — and, as it turns out, even the accurate story is much less than it seems. In this issue of the newsletter, we’ll see how the media once again lost the truth by attempting to reduce science to a sound bite and how the research the sound bite is based on is pretty much meaningless. Then we’ll wrap things up with a discussion of what you really need to know about water.
The media…again!

If you saw the headlines, you’re probably thinking that water is about to be pulled from the market and anyone who sold it was about to be arrested for running one of the greatest consumer scams of all time.

* Study: Skip the Water, Have a Soda Instead
http://www.adz2go.com/mailmgt/Url.asp?CID=86850&HID=11193950&UID=130738
Read the headlines and there can be no mistake. A scientific study conducted by Drs. Negoianu and Goldfarb has proven that there are no health benefits to drinking 8 glasses of water a day! But there is
little truth to the headlines. The media’s reporting on the “study” is wrong on a number of counts.
* First, it was not a study at all — merely a cursory examination of pre-existing scientific literature. No new ground was broken here, just a reinterpretation of older reviews and studies — only one of which specifically looked at drinking 8 glasses of water a day. The others involved indirect inference. Or to look at it another way, this report, just published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, would be disallowed in a court of law as “hearsay” evidence.
* But more to the point, contrary to what the headlines say, the report in question never actually says that drinking 8 glasses of water a day provides no health benefits — merely that there is not yet any clear proof that it does. To quote, To summarize the conclusions of other, more exhaustive reviews: There is no clear evidence of benefit from drinking increased amounts of water.
* And finally, the study never actually says that drinking soda is the same as drinking water. Yes, some of the other studies that this study refers to make that claim — but not this study. In other words, headlines above such as “Study: Skip the Water, Have a Soda Instead” are nothing more than inaccurate media sound bites.

In summary, we can throw out the headlines and stories as found in the media. Now to be fair, as advertising revenues have dropped, newspapers and television networks all over the world have dramatically cut their reporting staffs to save money — and for the most part now have to
function as reporters and transcribers of news, rather than as investigative journalists. In other words, not one of the media reports actually looked beyond the press release associated with the review. That said, we’re still left with the question when it comes to drinking water, “What then did Drs. Negoianu and Goldfarb actually say in their review?”
The 8 glasses of water review:
They begin their review by examining a handful of studies that support the drinking of more water and dismiss them all in a single brushstroke.
To quote:
“Of course, these studies suffered from weaknesses typical of epidemiologic and retrospective case-control data: Are people sick because they drink less, or are they drinking less because they are sick?”
It seems that Negoianu and Goldfarb are starting with a fundamental premise that any existing study that supports the use of water is fundamentally flawed and should not be considered in drawing any conclusions. But they also seem to be starting with the equally questionable premise that almost any study that negates the value of drinking 8 glasses of water is correct ipso facto and should be highly
valued. These are interesting assumptions since they pretty much guarantee your conclusion before you even started. With that in mind, let’s take a look at one of the studies they believe worthy of inclusion.
At the top of their list is the 2002 study by Dr Valtinthat they describe as an “exceedingly thorough review of this subject.” High praise, indeed! So what exactly is this benchmark study? Well, first surprise, it’s not a study at all. Like the Negoianu and Goldfarb review, it too is a review of previous studies. And like the Negoianu and Goldfarb review, it too is based on some “interesting” assumptions.

http://www.adz2go.com/mailmgt/templates/JonBarron/Apr08/images/pic3.jpg
For example, Dr. Valtin announces that just counting water intake in his review is not good enough. “The concept I have in mind is daily intake of drinking fluid (as distinct from fluid in solid food) meaning all drinking fluids, including tap water and bottled water, coffee, tea, soft drinks, milk, juices, and possibly even beer in moderation.”
Excuse me! As a study of the health benefits of drinking 8 glasses of water a day, you can pretty much toss this review out from the get-go. Not all fluids are the same. If you think so, try washing your clothes in beer and soda. But then again, perhaps it was the happy inclusion of beer and soda that led Drs. Negoianu and Goldfarb to think so highly of Valtin’s “exceedingly thorough review.”
Yes, I understand. Dr. Valtin would disagree with me. He cites the Grandjean study which concluded that there is no significant difference between water, soda, coffee, beer, etc. when it comes to hydration. And yes, that’s possibly true if you limit your discussion to the volume of fluids entering and leaving the body; but that doesn’t mean that there’s no difference. What those liquids contain when they enter the body –
and when they leave the body — are not necessarily the same for all liquids, regardless of volume. The Grandjean study, for example, didn’t consider the effects in his other “drinking fluids” of sugar, artificial
sweetener, phosphoric acid or caffeine on the body. Drinking water and soda are not the same thing. There really are differences in terms of health. So much for the Grandjean study.

Is there any evidence that drinking more than the minimum amount of water is beneficial?
As it turns out, there’s quite a bit. Here is just a sampling.
* The more water you drink, the less your chances of developing
kidney stones
http://www.adz2go.com/mailmgt/Url.asp?CID=86850&HID=11193950&UID=130805
* Higher water consumption has been associated with lower rates of urinary cancer
http://www.adz2go.com/mailmgt/Url.asp?CID=86850&HID=11193950&UID=130748
* A relationship between high water intake and lower colon cancer risk
http://www.adz2go.com/mailmgt/Url.asp?CID=86850&HID=11193950&UID=130749
* A higher intake of water reduces the incidence of heart attacks
http://www.adz2go.com/mailmgt/Url.asp?CID=86850&HID=11193950&UID=130750
That said, Drs. Negoianu and Goldfarb were correct when they stated that there is simply a lack of evidence in general. As they and Dr. Valtin all found, there are quite simply no actual studies that focus on the
overall benefits of drinking 8 glasses of water a day. All conclusions, at the moment, are based on inference from studies that were focused on other agendas — and the people doing the inferring have no
understanding or affinity for the value of complementary health.
But what about the anecdotal evidence on drinking water?
However, let’s not ignore anecdotal evidence. Just because researchers haven’t proven the benefits of a particular alternative health treatment yet, doesn’t mean it’s not valid. Consider all of the fruits and plants
whose benefits were touted for centuries without proof — only to be found to contain amazingly beneficial phytochemicals in the last few years. Also, consider all of the herbs used by healers since the dawn of
man that ultimately became the basis for some of the worlds most powerful drugs. We’re talking about plants which became drugs such as Chinese star anise, which was the basis for Tamiflu, saw palmetto for
Proscar, Pacific yew for Tamoxifen, and foxglove for Digitalis — just to name a few.
And finally, let’s not discount the anecdotal evidence of millions of people around the world who testify to better health and greater vitality when they increase their consumption of water. Even if it is a placebo effect, it’s still a positive effect, and water is a whole lot cheaper than the placebo effect achieved by many “approved” medical procedures or mainstream drugs such as Zetia and Vytorin
http://www.adz2go.com/mailmgt/Url.asp?CID=86850&HID=11193950&UID=130752
But enough! I could go on ripping through these studies pointing out their deficiencies ad infinitum. But there’s no need; the point has been made. Time to move on and talk briefly about the quality and quantity of water you need — at least as we understand it at this time.
How much water do we need?
In advanced societies, thinking that tea, coffee, alcohol, soda pop, or other forms of manufactured beverages are desirable substitutes for the purely natural water needs of the daily “stressed” body is a common, but potentially deadly, mistake. Water is the solvent in our bodies, and as such, it regulates all the functions of our bodies, including the action of all the solids dissolved in the water. In fact, every function of the body is monitored and pegged to the efficient flow of water. Think for a moment of just a few of the functions that water regulates:
* The movement of blood
* The transport of nutrients into our cells
* The movement of waste out of our cells
* The flow of lymph fluid
* The movement of nerve impulses through our nerves
* The movement of hormones throughout our bodies
* The functioning of our brains

Understand, we can function quite well and for quite a long time without sufficient water. The body quickly adapts and starts extracting more water from your stools for example. The kidneys flush less water to
retain the limited supply you have. In fact, there are some health experts who claim that your body does quite well on 2 glasses of any kind of fluid a day — plus the water found in the food you eat. But these experts confuse adaptation with health. Adaptation leads to compromise, which leads to diminished health over time.
To paraphrase Aragorn before the gates of Mordor in the movie version of The Lord of the Rings:
The day may come when the case for drinking 8 glasses of water a day fails; when we forsake what we have known for decades and what commonsense tells us is true; but it is not this day - when science
proves that water, cola, and coffee are one and the same. It is not this day!!! This day drink water! By all that you hold dear on this good earth — I bid you drink 8 glasses of pure water a day!”
WOW! This is so true and really a GREAT report. I had personally benefits in drinking water and adding x2o in it. When I tell my friends about it they think that I am promoting and turn into a sales man but those who had personally tried x2o will know the answer.

“He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.”- Isaiah 53:3-4
