PD and Alkaline water.

I started PD manual on August 2015 and with machine on October 2015. I had to take so many medicines for maintenance of High blood, stool softeners and diuretic pills plus supplements of iron, calcium, phosphorous, B, D and even Coumadin for Atrial Fib. Had triple bypass on 2012 too. Last May 2018, I was introduced to Kangen Water machine that produces 9.5 pH Alkaline and highly oxidized water. After just three months of drinking Alkaline water, my blood pressure went down to 76/70 that made me dizzy while on a regular visit with my nurse on peritoneal that he called my nephrologist for advice. The doctor advised me to stop my maintenance meds on High blood and my BP from then on continued to be constant at 110 + or - 15/ 90 without meds and just my Kangen Alkaline water. I also stopped taking most of my medicines and supplements and take them at least just once a week but not the one for high blood. For 10 months now, my monthly blood check is so good and passed all standards. My appetite got back as my BUN went down rapidly, my energy is much better and keep improving and my only exercise is my stationary bike which I do at least 15-30 minutes every other day. I feel much better and my immunity against any illness like common cold improved and my skin got rid of dark discolored spots and brighten up. The Alkaline water got rid of all the toxins and acids in my system and I cease having upset stomachs due to acid build ups, and no gas pain like I used to have. I advise people to drink Alkaline water and refrain from wines, spirits, sodas, sweets and salty foods, minimize eating meat and try to take more fish and more eggs, little chicken, less meat, and lots of whey protein drinks. Don’t trust bottled water saying Alkaline because they are just made of Baking soda or Sodium Bicarbonate which is artificial Alkaline that will also turn to acidic upon ingestion for a while.

What do you mean by high blood? I've heard good things about alkaline water the system is expensive. The water may be beneficial but it's not a cure for anything. I'm sure commencement and continuation of Dialysis was the main reason of toxin removal. I was on 3 separate blood pressure meds prior to dialysis. After 3 months all were discontinued. This is common as is feeling better after 3-6 months on dialysis. May you continue with your improvement. Blessings
