Revelation 22:17 (last part) – “And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” I recently was approached by a well-meaning, sincere Christian gentleman about the alleged benefits of alkaline water; its purported cancer healing, heart health and a multitude of others. When asked where this water could be obtained, I was informed that he sold a water purification system for $4,000.00 which produced this “alkaline water.” My knowledge of physiology and how the body maintains a blood pH of 7.4 made me question this theory. I also immediately sensed that this was not something I should get involved with because it did not meet Christ’s principles of health. If this system was the way to health and longevity, then the rich would live and the poor would die. God has always made His remedies available to everyone and not just those with financial resources. After investigation, I was not able to find any credible medical endorsements of “alkaline water.” But if you feel it is beneficial, then drink.
