Dehydration and Poor Cognitive Performance

Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Tue, Jan 23, 2024

Many elderly people simply do not drink enough water

I discovered this first hand when my 90 year old mother began living in an assisted living facility.

After approximately two weeks my mother's short term memory began to falter and to make matters worse she began hallucinating.

After a severe bout of diarrhea ( viral bug) she started seeing people in her room that simply were not there.

This really rattled me because prior to admittance into the assisted living facility she had full mental function.

Of course I do not blame anything on the assisted living facility. 

It was the fact that she was not in her own environment. This consisted of steady stream of water encouraged by my younger brother.

Once we increased her water intake her mental capability significantly improved and the hallucinations stopped.

Does Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Need to be Re-Mineralized?

Posted by Dr. Evelin Valdez, ND on Tue, Jun 20, 2023

Minerals determine Important properties of the water we consume

Reverse Osmosis (RO) water is naturally more acidic than tap water, because along with the toxins, alkalizing trace minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, and phosphorus are removed. RO water ranges from 5 to 7 pH.  Natural water and tap water ranges from around 6.5 to 8.5. This leads to the question of whether one should or must re-mineralize RO water before drinking and whether RO water is healthy.

With the state of the environment and all the toxins found in our water supply, it is advisable to use RO water for drinking and household use just to avoid the toxins and to reduce the body’s toxic burden.  However, before you alkalize your water, you want to make sure you know the pH of your drinking water!!!  You can test your water using pH strips.  Once you know your water’s pH, factors such as one’s state of health, body acid-alkaline balance, one’s diet, and personal taste preference determine whether or not one needs to/ should re-mineralize the RO water.
