Tonight I spent the evening talking with and questioning two very nice women who were trying to sell me on the benefits of some very special water called Enagic/Kangen water. I call it Magic Water because of all the wild promises they make about what it can do. My dad is interested in this ionic filtration system that they are selling for his own health concerns, and to see if it would help me with my little problems. In visiting the Enagic website I am overwhelmed by the wealth of promises offering nothing scientific or medical (or even hillbilly, for that matter) to back them up. My dad calls me skeptical but really I just want someone to tell me EXACTLY how it works while leaving out the mumbo jumbo, if you please, why it’s great (they are trying to sell it to me, you know), and why I HAVE to have it if I want to live well. I mean sheesh, at this cost I will probably have to give up new shoes for like, EVAH, so it would really help me out if I could be convinced as opposed to coerced. K? Thanks. As nice as these women were, they weren’t exactly brimming with information, although the water chemistry experiments were interesting to watch. What’s a girl to do? Walk out with three gallons of special high Ph “detox” water to make a guinea pig of myself, make a trip to Walmart (and if you didn’t know, that is extreme torture for me… even when I send my husband) for Ph testing strips, and spend exactly ALL of the rest of my evening researching water online. First thing tomorrow, you all shall know exactly what the Ph of my urine is. Aren’t you just brimming with anticipation?! Just when you suspected (yesterday) that this blog had actually reached rock bottom, I go to urine. Nice.
Ha! Well the urine ph will be interesting!
