The only way to get the Cleanest,
Healthiest and Best-Tasting Water.
What is the state of Health Care
in America?

Has, or has had a chronic condition.”

US adults are either
Over-weight or obese –
a 36% increase from 1980.”
“One in three U.S. adults has,
or will have, high blood pressure;
up 30% over the past decade.”

Sound Familiar?
“You are not sick, you are thirsty”
- F. Batmanghelidj, MD
Dehydration is usually diagnosed and treated as something else!
For example it causes low energy and low energy causes poor
digestion. Then it is diagnosed as acid reflux and treated with drugs
instead of water. Proper hydration is critical to good health and
vitality.
Benefits of Optimal Hydration
• Better Mental Clarity
• Helps Metabolize Fat
• Helps Keep Skin Supple & Healthy
• Helps Keep Bones Healthy
• Better Digestion
• Better Detox
• Can Help Increase Energy
Some of the world’s Healthiest & Healing Waters
Hunza, Lourdes, Trinity Water, Tlacote, Vilcabamba,
Research has shown these waters to have
three healthy characteristics in common:
1. They are clean and contaminant free
2. They have an alkaline pH
3. They have a unique negative charge
Quality Water = Quality Life
What characteristics make quality water?
• It hydrates at the cellular level
• It provides a rich source of alkaline minerals.
Ideally should be alkaline in pH
• It is anti-oxidizing rather than oxidizing
• It must be clean and contaminant-free
AlkaViva’s proprietary new UltraWater Technology
recreates these unique characteristics in the water that
comes right from your tap!
Now you can Take Back Your Tap and drink
the cleanest, healthiest and best tasting water!
Quality Water Characteristic
#1
The world’s healthiest waters hydrate
effectively at the cellular level.
Ionized UltraWater is micro-clustered and
negatively charged, increasing absorption.
Micro-clustering and Hydration
The microclustering effect and the negative charge make
ionized water more hydrating than other waters!
Tea Test:
Ionized alkaline UltraWater penetrates the
tea bag faster and more efficiently.

#2
The world’s healthiest waters supply a
rich source of beneficial alkalizing minerals
and tend to have an alkaline pH.
UltraWater is alkaline.
Why the Acid / Alkaline Balance?
The most important fluid – blood - is slightly alkaline at pH 7.365.
The ability to carry oxygen is directly impacted by blood health / pH.
Body utilizes various systems to maintain blood pH – it’s a survival priority.
The Acid / Alkaline Balance
The body’s pH balancing system is
overwhelmed by our modern diet and
lifestyle.
“We have turned an evolutionary
corner. We simply do not handle acid
waste the way we used to.”
- Lynda Frassetto MD, Researcher,
University of California, Berkeley
Can our bodies handle this acid overload?
Arthur C. Guyton, M.D., in Textbook of Medical Physiology:
“The first steps in maintaining health is to
alkalize the body (pH or acid/alkaline balance).
Changes in pH alter virtually all body
functions. The cells of a healthy body are
[mainly] alkaline while the cells of a diseased
body are below a pH of 7.0. The more acidic
the cell, the sicker we become. If the body
cannot alkalize the cells they will become
acidic and thus, disease sets in.”
What are you drinking?
How acidic or alkaline are your beverages?
How Dehydration and Acidosis work together
• Overload cells with acidic waste
• Cells need to flush acidic waste
• Dehydration makes flushing less
effective
• Cellular Acidosis or Toxicity results
70 - 80% of us are dehydrated!
Quality Water Characteristic
#3
The world’s healthiest waters are
antioxidant rather than oxidizing.
Ionized UltraWater has a powerful and
measurable antioxidant potential.
Antioxidants
“Scientists now believe that free radicals are causal factors in
nearly every known disease and aging ”
- Dr. Lester Packer, University of California, Berkeley
• Oxidation deteriorates the surface it attacks.
It is paramount in the process we call "aging”
• Modern lifestyle causes oxidation
• Antioxidants stop oxidation and slow this process.
Antioxidants
"It is virtually impossible to get the optimal amount of antioxidants
through food alone." - Dr. Lester Packer, University of California, Berkeley
• Antioxidant potential can be measured (in millivolts or mv )
Positive (+mv) reading: causes oxidation = oxidizer
Negative (-mv) reading: reduces oxidation = antioxidant
What are you drinking?
Tap Water
Bottled Water
Orange Juice (concentrate)
All have an oxidizing positive ORP
Ionized UltraWater has a strong
negative ORP
ORP numbers vary and can range up to -800mv
depending on the model and your source water

The world’s healthiest waters
are contaminant-free
Patent pending UltraWater technology sets a new
standard in filtration. It is the only filter capable of
producing water that is virtually contaminant-free.
What IS in YOUR water?
Who is going to look out for you?
Over 60,000
chemicals are
used in the US.
• The overwhelming majority are not regulated.
• The EPA regulates only 114 contaminants.
• Not a single contaminant has been added to
the list since 2000.
• The Safe Water Drinking Act requires your local
water provider to meet EPA regulations.
• Testing can be skewed. “Averaging” allow toxins to
be over limit for a substantial part of the year.
Here is the kicker…
“Nearly a quarter of the nation’s treatment
plants have violated the Safe Water Drinking act
over the last five years.”
So…here IS what’s in YOUR water!
THIS SLIDE IS NOT FOR PUBLIC VIEW
Add your Local Water Authority information
Like the Example in the previous slide.
Find yours at: http://www.ewg.org/tapwater/whatsinyourwater
Type your local water supplier into the search
bar in the top right. Zip code is less effective.
Use your water supplier.
ARE YOU DRINKING ARSENIC?
The Natural Resources Defense
Council estimates that as many as
56 million Americans living in 25
states drink water with arsenic at
unsafe levels.
\
“Inorganic arsenic is a powerful
carcinogen that has been linked to
an increased risk of several types of
cancer.” - Joseph Mercola M.D.
Is any level of arsenic in your
drinking water safe for you?
Fluoride: Beneficial or Toxic?
It’s your decision. But do yourself a
favor: read the research and
professional opinions of those
in the know.
“In point of fact, fluoride causes
more human cancer death, and
causes it faster than any other
chemical.”
-Dean Burk, Ph.D.
Former Director of the
National Cancer Institute
Some Fluoride research:
• 18 human studies show fluoride exposure causes IQ
deficits in children
• According to The National Research Council exposure
can result in loss of bone density and strength.
• The National Research Council found that fluoride has
an adverse effect on thyroid function
• Over 10 animal studies show that rats and mice
ingesting fluoride have a reduced capacity to learn and
remember.
For more info visit the Fluoride Action Network’s website:

Pharmaceuticals
“Pharmaceutical chemicals and
hormones [56 in total] have been
detected in the drinking water
of over 41 million Americans,
and not all water systems
have been tested.”
Associated Press 9/01/2008
What about heavy metals?
Severe effects include reduced growth and development, cancer,
organ damage, nervous system damage, and in extreme cases,
death. Exposure to some metals, such as mercury, and lead, may also
cause development of autoimmunity, in which a person’s immune
system attacks its own cells.
But I drink Bottled water…it’s safer right?
Think again!
• Testing in 2008 by the EWG, found 38 pollutants in 10 brands
of bottled water, including disinfection byproducts, industrial
chemicals, radioactivity and bacteria.
• One popular brand was found to contain flame
retardant, disinfectant and chloroform.
• It is less regulated than tap water
• It is also bad for the environment
and your wallet!
But I drink filtered water – I am protected right?
• Simple carbon will reduce some basic contaminants, but does
nothing to address the vast majority of
• Ceramics with small enough pore size are good for biologicals,
but are not effective
BRITA TEST DATA
at even basic
contaminants
like chlorine.
• Filter products most
often DO NOT OFFER
COMPREHENSIVE
TESTING across a
broad range of
contaminants.
So who can you trust to look out for
your water safety?
• Not the EPA…
• Not your local provider…
• Bottled water is not the answer…
• Carbon filters will not protect you…
YOU have to do it!
