We started with a list of health problems, we and our love one have chronic illness that cannot be cured by common western medical pratice.
So our team started out to find out if there was a cured beyond common Western and Chinese medicine.
We feel very strongly that they are better cure and set out to find them.
Our first experience started 27 years ago.

Preface
One of mankind's universal desires is to live a healthy and long life.
We spend fortunes to extend our life and maintain good health.
We also spend an enormous amount of time researching the causes
of aging and ways of reversing the aging process. All the theories on
aging are complicated and not easy to understand.
The aim of this booklet is to present a simple scientific explanation
of aging and an equally simple scientific method to reverse the
aging process without any diet or exercise. For those of you with an
intelligent and open mind, you will have no difficulty understanding
this and may wonder why this simple fact was not known to
mankind, until the 21st century.
We work very hard only to arrive at the average age of 45 when our
physical bodies start to deteriorate and nothing seems to help. You
will discover the scientific reasons for these phenomena in the
following pages. And the real good news is that you can stop this
downhill trend!
Some of mankind's greatest discovery are profoundly simple. I
sincerely hope that you will enjoy this booklet.

Introduction
I am not a medical doctor nor a biologist. I am an engineer, scientist
and inventor. I invented some cornea measuring devices, multi-focal
soft contact lenses, electronic filters, high-speed modems, among
other things.
In 1986, at the age of 55, I was suffering from high blood pressure
and was taking blood pressure pills for it. I bought a water ionizer
that electrically splits regular tap water into alkaline water and acid
water. I was told drinking alkaline water may lower my blood
pressure
To make a long story short, in six weeks, I was able to stop taking
the blood pressure pills. Initially, I was very happy; however, not
knowing why it went down bothered me. I wondered whether it could
have been psychological, or a short-term phenomenon, or that it
may be doing some long-term damage with negative side-effects.
This prompted me to research why my blood pressure was
normalized by simply drinking alkaline water. This research led me
to the discovery of the human aging process and its reversal.
This is not a medical discovery but a scientific discovery.
In 1990, I wrote Reverse Aging. Today, over 90,000 copies are in
circulation. Not only that, it is translated into many languages by
inspired volunteer translators. Reverse Aging is available in
Chinese, Spanish, Polish, German and Japanese. Other languages
are forthcoming.
In the past 15 years, I have discovered more new facts and invented
several products to help improve our health. The purpose of this
booklet is to present the new findings and products in a condensed
form. 4

Chapter 1
How we Age
Medical science has discovered that, as we age. We lose
bicarbonates (HCO3
-) in our blood; bicarbonates keep the blood
alkaline. Please refer to Dr. Lynda Frasseto’s graph
2
) below.
Figure 2, graph B of Journal of Gerontology: BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES,
1996, Vol. 51A. No. 1, B91 - B99, by Dr. Lynda Frassetto, UCSF
(Dotted line added by Sang Whang)
A noticeable decline begins at the age of 45 and, by age 90, we lose
18% of the bicarbonates in our blood to maintain a balanced blood
pH, resulting in the elimination of acidic waste in the human body.
The reduction of bicarbonates limits the ability of the blood to
manage the acid waste produced by our cells. Blood must maintain
a pH of 7.365. In order to survive, the body cleverly converts nonneutralized liquid acids into solid acids such as cholesterol, fatty
acid, uric acid, phosphate, sulfate, urate, kidney stones, etc.
When the body lacks bicarbonates, blood is rendered incapable of
neutralizing such poisonous acids as uric acid, phosphoric acid, 6
sulphuric acid, etc. The body then robs calcium from the bones to
form urate, phosphate, sulfate, etc. When acid waste is transformed
to a solid form such as kidney stones, this is the human body’s
means of survival.
The whole world accepts the diminishing of bicarbonates and the
accumulation of acids in our bodies as the inevitable result of aging.
I discovered that the diminishing of bicarbonates in the blood
is not the result of aging, but the very cause of aging.
If we can find ways to replenish bicarbonates, like recharging a
battery, we don’t have to get old. (More about replenishing
bicarbonates in the blood in chapter 5)
Getting back to Dr Frassetto’s research, the turning point of age 45
is the average age when symptoms of diabetes, arthritis,
hypertension, osteoporosis, cancer, etc., start to appear. Cancer
cells are acidic while healthy cells are alkaline. Cancer cannot
develop
In an alkaline environment; however, the lack of bicarbonates
creates an acidic environment, thus creating a breeding ground for
cancer. More bicarbonates in the body will prevent, but not
necessarily cure, cancer.
The two major categories of diseases are contagious diseases and
acid-induced adult degenerative diseases. Medical science excels in
treating the first category but poor in the latter because acid
accumulation does not show up in X-rays. By the time the
symptoms become so pronounced that they can be detected by xrays, it is usually too late.
In Reverse Aging, I discuss the various kinds of acidic waste and
acid-induced diseases. Since then I have learned that they are the
result of bicarbonate deficiency. In chapter 4, we will study the
caused of bicarbonate reduction and the sources of acid production
in our body. 7
Chapter 2
Foods and Special Diets
We think of diet for good health, but we don’t even know what’s in
the foods. An absolute majority of our foods (about 98%) is made of
carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. Only protein contains
nitrogen. These elements are the energy-giving elements of foods.
They give us energy by burning with oxygen. After burning, they
become acidic waste, such as acetic acid, cholesterol, lactic acid,
fatty acid, carbonic acid, uric acid, nitro-oxide, and ammonia.
The remaining 2% of the foods are alkaline minerals and acid
minerals, such as potassium , sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron,
sulfur, chlorine, iodine, etc. Depending on which minerals are more
predominant, we classify; There isn’t any so-called “alkaline
food” that does not produce net acidic waste, because 98% of
the foods produce acidic waste. We are fighting a losing battle to
neutralize acidic waste in the body by sticking to a so-called
“alkaline diet”; it will only create a nutritional deficiency problem
because we are not eating a balanced diet. Eat everything in
moderation and do not exclude any food. There is no medicine
for nutritional deficiency.
In discussing health, we usually think of diet and exercise. Diet is
the most confusing voo-doo science, and no two diet experts agree
with each other. The reason is very simple: all diet experts miss the
contribution of 98% of the foods.
None of the diet programs – vegetarian diets, vegan diets, raw
food diets, macrobiotic diets, low-carb diets – adds
bicarbonates to the blood.
Ingesting sodium bicarbonates (baking powder) does not add
bicarbonates to the blood, because the hydrochloric acid in the
stomach breaks up the sodium bicarbonates into water, carbon
dioxide and sodium salt. It is exactly like ingesting carbonic acid and
sodium salt. 8
Chapter 3
Exercise
Next to diet, we think of exercise to improve our health. Exercise
helps to burn calories and discharges acidic waste through
perspiration. It also tones muscles and helps build a lean and
muscular body. Exercise is good for health if done in
moderation. The notion of “push to the limit” and “no pain no gain”
can do more damage than help.
Over-exercise can create excessive lactic acid, which is a result of
insufficient oxygen. In some people, lactic acid can bring about
exercise-induced asthma. Even Mr. Lance Armstrong, with a larger
heart, has to break away from time to time to diffuse lactic acid. If he
had ample amounts of bicarbonates in his blood, lactic acid attacks
would have been reduced.
During exercise, blood pressure can be extremely high momentarily.
If we had clots and debris floating around in the blood vessels, there
is the risk of a stroke caused by high blood pressure clogging up
critical blood vessels with these clots and debris. Plenty of
bicarbonates will lower the risk of clots and debris
accumulation.
When we over-exercise or pull a muscle, we burn nutrients so fast
that the blood cannot carry away the waste products fast enough,
this creates an acidic pool. Unfortunately, acidic pools clog up
capillaries surrounding them and prevent acid wastes from coming
out. The spot is hot at the beginning, but as time goes by, blood
circulation stops and the temperature decreases and pain sets in.
The most important thing to note is that no exercise adds
bicarbonates to the bloodstream.9
Chapter 4
Why Do We Lose Bicarbonates?
Alkaline buffer, bicarbonate (HCO3
-) is usually mated with alkaline
minerals; for example, KHCO3, NaHCO3, Ca(HCO3)2 or Mg(HCO3),
is a combination of water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
When sodium hydroxide (NaOH), an alkaline element, enters the
bloodstream, the acid buffer reacts with it to lower the blood pH:
NaOH + H2CO3 + H2O (sodium bicarbonate and water).
Conversely, when hydrochloric acid (HCl), an acid element, enters
the bloodstream, the alkaline buffer reacts with it t elevate the blood
pH:
HCl + NaHCO3 = NaCl + H2CO3 (sodium salt and carbonic acid).
Acid buffer becomes alkaline buffer in one case and alkaline buffer
becomes acid buffer in the other. They fluctuate, depending upon
which element, alkaline or acid, enters into the bloodstream.
What is happening is that in the long run, we have more acidic
elements entering the bloodstream. Blood does its best to reduce
acid by exhaling CO2 from H2CO3 and urinating acid through the
kidneys. It is a delicate balancing act to maintain blood pH. Survival
is the human body’s top priority.
It is our lifestyle: diets, stressful routine, polluted environment,
“push-to-the–limit” personality, etc., that creates more acid in
the blood, which in turn taxes the alkaline buffer. The worst kind of
food that taxes bicarbonates is acidic soft drinks. I don’t believe in
the exclusion of any food, but I make an exception when it comes to
man-made soft drinks. 10
We are born with highly alkaline elements in our body. According to
Dr. Frassetto’s research, the body doesn’t seem to lose any
bicarbonates until age 45. However, it is my humble opinion that
our decline starts early and doesn’t appear until age 45 because of
the saturation phenomenon.
Depending on our lifestyle, we can delay the onset of the downward
dive or slow down the slope of the decline. However, we cannot
stop the eventual decline of bicarbonates in the blood by any
diet and exercise regiment alone.
In our present industrial environment, pollution is known to be the
cause of bicarbonate decrease. Dr. Prakova in Bulgaria studied over
100 workers in a plastic manufacturing factory with a polluted
environment and compared them with office workers of the same
company in anon-polluted environment. After10 years of study, he
noticed a marked decline of bicarbonates in the blood of those
workers in the polluted factory3). Yes, pollution, stress and
depression all tax the bicarbonates supplies in our blood. There is
no question that smoking also destroys bicarbonates.
Unless we replenish bicarbonates to our blood, they will diminish
regardless of what we do. It is a losing battle. 11
Chapter 5
How to Recharge Bicarbonates to the Blood
Good news! There are 2 methods to replenish bicarbonates to the
blood: drink high pH alkaline water and/or take enteric-coated
alkaline mineral pills.
5.1) Alkaline Water
Water Ionizers were developed in Japan over half a century ago,
and since then, the Japanese have been drinking alkaline. Despite
existing clinical research data from Japan, the US remains ignorant
of alkaline water’s health benefits. The drug industry is largely to
blame for this, since it doesn’t generate any financial gains from
water ionizer sales.
Fortunately, the benefits of alkalinity are being accepted not only by
homeopathic and holistic doctors, but by an increasing number of
mainstream doctors as well. However, most MDs are not scientists,
they do not understand how alkalinity works, especially when it
pertains to the human stomach. Most MDs believe that stomach
acid will destroy alkalinity.
To the best of my knowledge, the first publication of the subject of
adding bicarbonates to the bloodstream through drinking alkaline
water is on my Website4), www.alkalife.com , technical article #3
“Alkaline Water and Stomach Acid”. In a nutshell, when we drink
high pH alkaline water, the pH of the stomach goes up too high,
inducing the stomach to produce more hydrochloric acid. The
process of hydrochloric acid production is:
H2O + CO2 + NaCI = HCI + NaHCO3.
Hydrochloric acid goes into the stomach and sodium bicarbonate
goes into the bloodstream. The stomach cannot produce 12
hydrochloric acid without producing bicarbonates. The more
alkaline water we drink, the more hydrochloric acid is produced,
thereby the more bicarbonates are added to the blood. This is how
we add bicarbonates. The higher the water pH, the more
hydrochloric acid will be produced. (Please read article #26 on my
Website for more details.)
All water ionizer manufacturers claim that their ionizers are better
than the rest. Some of the superior properties they claim are higher
ORP (oxygen reduction potential), higher pH value of the alkaline
water. One of the problems with water ionizers is that the pH value
of the alkaline water is very much dependent on the alkaline mineral
content in the original tap water.
In 1994, I invented an alkaline concentrate. Alkalife®
. It comes in a
small plastic bottle (1.2oz.) with a control tip so that putting two
drops of into a 10oz glass of filtered tap water produces pH 10
alkaline water. Alkalife®
contains 7.5% potassium hydroxide, 2.5%
sodium hydroxide and 90% distilled water. The ratio of potassium
and sodium in the human body is very important in maintaining
health. I derived this ratio with a 200-person bio feedback test. The
ratio is an important part of my patent. In 2001, Dr. Lynda Frassetto
published a paper showing the proper ratio of potassium and
sodium in our diet, supporting my findings5
).
Alkalife®
is convenient to carry and is not murky like calcium or
magnesium concentrate. Potassium and sodium are stronger ORP
minerals than calcium or magnesium and, therefore, can dissolve
and kick calcium out of phosphates, urate, sulfate, kidney stones
etc.
We now have different brands of water of bottled water claiming all
kinds of heath benefits: energy water, magnetized water,
oxygenated water, ozone treated water, etc. However, none of
these waters adds bicarbonates to the blood. 13
5.2 Alkaline Mineral Pills
5.2.1 Bicarbonate pills
Since the goal of aging prevention is to add bicarbonates to the
bloodstream, and drinking water is not part of the American culture
but pill popping is, I attempted to produce a bicarbonate pill.
Naturally, I selected the same ratio of 75% potassium bicarbonate
and 25% sodium bicarbonate. To prevent creating an alkaline
shock to the blood, I mixed a time-release compound with it.
The problem with bicarbonates is that stomach acids breaks down
bicarbonates into carbon dioxide, water and salt; therefore,
bicarbonates will not reach the bloodstream. Even with a slow
release compound, whatever is dissolved in the stomach is wasted.
For this reason, the new pill is enteric-coated, not to dissolve in
the stomach but only after it dissolves in the small intestines.
Enteric is normally used to protect the stomach wall from drugs’
damaging effects. I use enteric coating to protect the pill from the
damaging effects of stomach acid.
Bicarb-Balance™ is the new pill. Its patent was applied for in
2004. Compared to Alkalife®
, Bicarb-Balance™ is independent of
the stomach’s condition in delivering bicarbonates to the blood. For
example, if the stomach is in an over-acidic state, drinking alkaline
water may not elevate the stomach pH significantly to produce
hydrochloric acid, meaning no bicarbonate will be produced. In
addition, some people are unable to produce hydrochloric acid and
need to take hydrochloric acid pills. Therefore, we cannot expect
their stomach to produce bicarbonates. For them, Bicarb-Balance™
will work more effectively.
5.2.2 Calcium pills
Kidney dialysis patients have to watch their potassium intake. Some
foreign countries are so bureaucratic so that they do not allow the
importation of potassium bicarbonates in pill form, for no technical,
medical or biological reasons, rather only because it is stated in the 14
book of rules. To overcome these obstacles, I looked for calcium
bicarbonate pills. To my surprise, no calcium bicarbonate is
available on the market.
My next step was creating a calcium carbonate pill. Enteric-coated
and time-release calcium carbonate powder delivered to the
bloodstream may be too alkaline when it enters the bloodstream,
because it is not in bicarbonate form. However, our blood contains
plenty of carbonic acid, which dissolves calcium carbonate and
converts it into calcium carbonate:
CaCO3 + H2CO3 = Ca(HCO3)2
(The Columbia Encyclopedia states; “calcium carbonate is largely
insoluble in water but is quite soluble in water containing dissolved
carbon dioxide, combining with it to form the bicarbonate”.)
This is a safe and very beneficial form of calcium in the blood. Not
only does it provide bicarbonate to neutralize acid as it enters the
bloodstream, but it also delivers very active calcium back to the
body.
This patent-applied pill, named ‘e-Cal™”, is a win-win pill because
it delivers both calcium and bicarbonate to the bloodstream,
two valuable elements we lose as we age.
Taking a regular calcium pill cannot achieve what e-Cal™ does,
because (1) calcium carbonate doesn’t dissolve well in water, (2) of
the too little calcium carbonate that dissolves in the stomach, it will
become water, carbon dioxide and calcium salt (hydrochloric acid
breaks down calcium carbonate):
CaCO3 + 2HCI = H2O + CO2 + CaCI2 15
5.3 Overview of bicarbonate deliverers
The amount of ingredients used for all three means of delivering
bicarbonates to the bloodstream—Alkalife®, Bicarb-Balance™ and eCal™ - are so small that these products are not considered as
pharmaceutical products by the FDA. They belong to the food or
mineral supplement category, and are not something to be taken for
a period of time and stop. They should be taken continuously,
similar to taking vitamins. Remember, bicarbonates in our
blood diminish continuously. These products are not medicinal.
They are steroid-free, non-habit forming and cause no known side
effects.
All these products achieve is add bicarbonates to the bloodstream to
promote the reduction of acid. Given enough bicarbonates, the
intelligent human body knows what to do in improve health.
There are no approved therapeutic claims.
Customers repeatedly report health improvement with Alkalife® and
Bicarb-Balance™. When we understand what bicarbonates do in
the human body, it makes perfect scientific sense. However, every
human being accumulates acid in different areas of the body and
the reactions of adding bicarbonates to the bloodstream are also
different. That’s why these products should not be considered as
medicines to cure any diseases.
Many symptoms that doctors cannot find a cause for are commonly
caused by excess acid in the body. Case in point, many of our
customers have reported an improvement of fibromyalgia,
migraines, depression, autism, etc. However, I do not recommend
the use of my products as a remedy of these symptoms until clinical
tests are done. So far, I have not been able to persuade any
medical doctors to conduct clinical tests.
In the meantime, open-minded intelligent people are trying
these products to improve their health, based on their scientific 16
understanding. Others will waste their life and health waiting
for clinical test results. 17
Chapter 6
Other Related Scientific Topics
6.1 Pollution
There are about 75 trillion cells in the human body. These cells live
on the average of only four weeks. At the end of its lifespan, the
core of the cell, the gene, splits into 2 halves and each half seeks
proteins and enzymes to duplicate the matching half; thus one cell
becomes two identical cells.
If every cell were to duplicate, there would be 150 trillion cells in 4
weeks; however, the fact is, we still maintain about 75 trillion cells.
This meant that only half of the cells regenerate and the other half
degenerate.
The question is: ‘Which cells regenerate and which degenerate?’
The law of nature is such that strong and healthy cells regenerate;
weak, injured, polluted, infected, damaged or dead cells degenerate.
This is how health is maintained in this world of pollution, radiation,
RF interference, insecticide, herbicide etc.
Since half of the 75 trillion cells degenerate in 4 weeks, we can
calculate the number of cells that degenerate every second to
be over 10 million. In other words, we can afford to lose over 10
million bad cells per second. Eventually, these dead cells become
acidic waste. If there are enough bicarbonates in our blood, the
bicarbonates would simply neutralize this waste, dump it and
balance and maintain our health. If not, we become ill.
A lot of people are paranoid with pollutants and eat only organically
grown foods. There is no need for that if there is ample amounts of
bicarbonates in the blood. 18
6.2 Immune system
Contagious diseases are obviously not caused by excess acid.
However, when foreign entities invade the human body, the body
declares war by creating white blood cells to fight the invaders. The
casualties of this war are dead cells from both sides, and they
eventually become acidic waste. If there were plenty of
bicarbonates in the body, they would neutralize this waste and the
body would recover quickly. If not, it would suffer the effects of acid
for longer duration. Bicarbonates provide immune protection.
6.3 Pregnancy
When a woman becomes pregnant, she loses quite a bit of alkaline
minerals to the fetus. In creating mankind, God made sure that the
new life gets priority in alkaline minerals. The fetus stays in the
placenta for 9 months. During that time, the fetus receives nutrients
through the umbilical cord for energy and growth.
When the nutrients are burnt, acidic waste is created. Since the
mother’s blood vessels are not connected the fetus’s blood vessels,
the acidic waste made by the fetus cannot come out through the
mother’s urine. The fetus must discharge into the placenta and it
remains there till the water breaks. For this reason, during the early
stage of pregnancy, the mother’s body loses a great deal of
bicarbonates to the placenta, causing her own body to suddenly
become acidic. Japanese doctors claim that this is the cause of
morning sickness.
Pregnancy is a major cause of osteoporosis. Women with a high
level of bicarbonates in the blood may not experience severe
morning sickness or suffer osteoporosis late in life. 19
Chapter 7
Conclusion and Postscript
7.1 Conclusion
As we start to lose bicarbonates in our blood, around age 45, we
begin to age physiologically. This is the new theory on aging. All
we have to do to stop aging and maintain good health is to recharge
bicarbonates to the blood. This is the new theory on reverse
aging. I’m not talking about a wrinkle remover or Botox. The key
ingredient of life and longevity is bicarbonates in the blood. I have
shown you the scientific facts and reasons and some easy methods
to achieve that; it is now up to you.
When you come across a product that people purportedly say is
good for your health, ask yourself if that product adds
bicarbonate to your blood; and if so, how? Many health
improvement methods and devices are available, diets, exercise,
Yoga, food supplements, vitamins, herbs, organic foods, Noni Juice,
raw foods, anti-oxidants, acupuncture, magnetic devices,
detoxification, chelation, oxygenated water, Pi water, massages,
and saunas. They all improve health and wellbeing in some people
some of the time, but none is effective in replenishing bicarbonates
to the blood.
Compared to what bicarbonates do in the body, the above
methods and devices only provide symptomatic relief.
7.2 Postscript
In developing these products and trying to market them
internationally, I realize how great this country is. We are assumed
innocent until proven guilty. In this country we can develop products
without first asking for government permission. Should people be 20
harmed by any of these products, the government rightfully steps in
to protect the public.
Some countries do not allow my products in without first proving that
they will not harm the public. I am assumed guilty until proven
innocent. It is very difficult to prove something that does not exist.
Furthermore, some countries ban perfectly healthy products, not
because of any technical, medical or biological reasons but because
certain ingredients are in some ancient regulation books as banned
substances. Some countries have even tested the products to be
non-toxic, yet still ban them for bureaucratic reasons.
Because of some over-zealous bureaucrats, many people in some
parts of the world are denied access to means of a healthier and
longer life.
In these days of the internet, we can have access to all kinds of
information, some correct and some wrong. How to distinguish and
use the correct information to our benefit requires wisdom. Wisdom
comes from God.
May God bless you and give you the wisdom to use the information
in this booklet to your benefit. 21

How to stay young and healthy
the 21st century way. - by Sang Whang
There are two basic scientific facts we need to know in order to understand human health and longevity.
- As we age, we build up acidic wastes in our body. Acid comes from foods that we eat, some foods producing more acid than others. Acidic wastes are formed in our cells as we burn nutrients to get energy to live. Our body tries its best to dump the acidic wastes through urine, perspiration, and breathing CO2 out. Unfortunately, we cannot get rid of 100% of these acidic wastes. We gradually accumulate these leftovers somewhere within our body. This is the process of aging.
- Acid coagulates blood. It is a necessary property of blood to stop bleeding when we have a cut. Because of this life-saving property, blood gets thick as we age (or as we accumulate more acid), causing poor blood circulation. Poor blood circulation is the primary cause of adult degenerative diseases.
When we understand the above scientific facts, the solution to maintain youth and health is to reduce the acids in our body. Taking blood thinners is the wrong solution because bleeding will not stop when we have a cut; this is unnatural. Surgeons will not operate on patients who are on blood thinners. Then how can we reduce the acids? Here are three conventional and one lesser-known methods.
- Diet: Reducing food intake forces the body to use up stored fats.
- Exercise: Burn more calories and sweat more acids.
- Physical removal: Liposuction or surgery.
- Neutralization of acids: Drink alkaline water to dissolve acids for safe discharge through the kidneys.Diet and exercise do work to a certain extent; but to be effective and long lasting, we must follow through for an extended time, which is not that easy. Since we build up acids gradually and the entire body adjusts to the changes accordingly, we must, therefore, reduce slowly, giving all parts of our body time to adjust to the change. It is risky to rush this process. Liposuction or surgery is not only painful and expensive, but both are also unnatural. These methods can only remove fatty acids but not other deeply imbedded acids such as uric acid, kidney stones, sulfate, etc.Drinking alkaline water is the cleanest and most effective way to reduce acids. The Japanese have been drinking alkaline water for over half a century. They developed a machine, called a water ionizer, that electrically splits tap water into alkaline water and acid water. At the end of World War II, Americans lived longer than the Japanese by about six years. Today, fifty years later, Japanese people live longer than Americans by about six years. In fact, they now have the longest life span on earth.Alkaline water does not burn fatty acids away but dissolves them. When we touch chicken or meat fat, our hands become sticky. Washing the fat off our hands with regular tap water does not work unless we use soap. Soap liquefies the fat and makes it easier to clean. Fat is acid and soap is alkaline.Of the four methods to reduce acids in our body, drinking alkaline water is the cleanest, easiest and most effective. Alkaline water neutralizes acids, liquefies them and discharges them safely through the kidneys. Burning acids away by diet and exercise is the hard way, melting acids away by alkaline water is the easy way. Alkaline water is not a quick weight loss scheme. Yes, many lose weight but very slowly and it requires a steady drinking regimen.Alkaline water does not have any nutritional value or medicinal value; all it does is neutralize and eliminate the excess acids in our body, thus improving blood circulation. When blood circulation improves, we feel more energetic and many disease symptoms diminish. Alkaline water is indeed the proverbial “fountain of youth”. Since alkaline water is so beneficial, any intelligent person can recognize the damaging effects of highly acidic soft drinks, especially those with phosphoric acid.“ ‘Life is a struggle, not against sin, not against the Money Power, not against malicious animal magnetism, but against hydrogen ions.’ These words, written by H. L. Mencken about the meaning of life and death, may also apply to the struggle of the healthy skeleton against the deleterious effects of retained acid.” (Dr. Jeffrey A Kraut, M.D., The New England Journal of Medicine, page 1821, Vol. 330 No. 25, June 23, 1994). Mr. Mencken wrote these words in 1919. Indeed life’s struggle is against retained acids (hydrogen ions are acid radicals). The most effective scientific weapon against acid is alkaline water.Science has finally discovered the secret of health and longevity!About the writer
Sang Whang, is an engineer, scientist and inventor with many U.S. patents. His fields of expertise span many different areas such as data communication devices (modem), electronic filters, chemistry, water, cornea measuring devices, multi-focal soft contact lenses, etc. An improvement and maintenance of his own health without medicine, diet or exercise caused him to investigate the phenomenon and led him to the discovery of his theory of Reverse Aging. He is the author of the best-seller book titled ‘ Reverse Ageing’.

Alkaline water and stomach acid
To most lay people alkaline water is neutralized by the acidic gastric juice in our stomach. If this is a misconception how exactly does the alkaline water works in our body? The same argument also explains why we feel sleepy after (not during) a heavy meal.All of us have too much acid
In short, we age due to waste mismanagement. Every living entity makes waste products; its inability to properly dispose of them causes the shortening of life. What are the symptoms of acidosis?

Our blood contains both alkaline and acidic buffers to regulate and maintain blood pH to a very narrow range.

Finally Science discovers the secret of Health and Longevity! The accumulation of acidic waste products within our body is the process of aging. Therefore, removing old, stored waste is reverse aging. When we think of “health,” we think of diet and exercise. Diet and exercise help our body dispose of waste products. However, they are very difficult to stay with and they are not as effective. Now science has made it simple and easy to remove acidic waste products that are within our body, and the method is more effective than diet and exercise. The true “Fountain of Youth” was right under our nose all the time. Learn the scientific processes and devices available for “Reverse Aging.” No need to accept “Aging” as a fact of life. Anybody can do it!

Preface
One of mankind's universal desires is to live a healthy and long life.
We spend fortunes to extend our life and maintain good health.
We also spend an enormous amount of time researching the causes
of aging and ways of reversing the aging process. All the theories on
aging are complicated and not easy to understand.
The aim of this booklet is to present a simple scientific explanation
of aging and an equally simple scientific method to reverse the
aging process without any diet or exercise. For those of you with an
intelligent and open mind, you will have no difficulty understanding
this and may wonder why this simple fact was not known to
mankind, until the 21st century.
We work very hard only to arrive at the average age of 45 when our
physical bodies start to deteriorate and nothing seems to help. You
will discover the scientific reasons for these phenomena in the
following pages. And the real good news is that you can stop this
downhill trend!
Some of mankind's greatest discovery are profoundly simple. I
sincerely hope that you will enjoy this booklet.

Introduction
I am not a medical doctor nor a biologist. I am an engineer, scientist
and inventor. I invented some cornea measuring devices, multi-focal
soft contact lenses, electronic filters, high-speed modems, among
other things.
In 1986, at the age of 55, I was suffering from high blood pressure
and was taking blood pressure pills for it. I bought a water ionizer
that electrically splits regular tap water into alkaline water and acid
water. I was told drinking alkaline water may lower my blood
pressure
To make a long story short, in six weeks, I was able to stop taking
the blood pressure pills. Initially, I was very happy; however, not
knowing why it went down bothered me. I wondered whether it could
have been psychological, or a short-term phenomenon, or that it
may be doing some long-term damage with negative side-effects.
This prompted me to research why my blood pressure was
normalized by simply drinking alkaline water. This research led me
to the discovery of the human aging process and its reversal.
This is not a medical discovery but a scientific discovery.
In 1990, I wrote Reverse Aging. Today, over 90,000 copies are in
circulation. Not only that, it is translated into many languages by
inspired volunteer translators. Reverse Aging is available in
Chinese, Spanish, Polish, German and Japanese. Other languages
are forthcoming.
In the past 15 years, I have discovered more new facts and invented
several products to help improve our health. The purpose of this
booklet is to present the new findings and products in a condensed
form. 4

Chapter 1
How we Age
Medical science has discovered that, as we age. We lose
bicarbonates (HCO3
-) in our blood; bicarbonates keep the blood
alkaline. Please refer to Dr. Lynda Frasseto’s graph
2
) below.
Figure 2, graph B of Journal of Gerontology: BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES,
1996, Vol. 51A. No. 1, B91 - B99, by Dr. Lynda Frassetto, UCSF
(Dotted line added by Sang Whang)
A noticeable decline begins at the age of 45 and, by age 90, we lose
18% of the bicarbonates in our blood to maintain a balanced blood
pH, resulting in the elimination of acidic waste in the human body.
The reduction of bicarbonates limits the ability of the blood to
manage the acid waste produced by our cells. Blood must maintain
a pH of 7.365. In order to survive, the body cleverly converts nonneutralized liquid acids into solid acids such as cholesterol, fatty
acid, uric acid, phosphate, sulfate, urate, kidney stones, etc.
When the body lacks bicarbonates, blood is rendered incapable of
neutralizing such poisonous acids as uric acid, phosphoric acid, 6
sulphuric acid, etc. The body then robs calcium from the bones to
form urate, phosphate, sulfate, etc. When acid waste is transformed
to a solid form such as kidney stones, this is the human body’s
means of survival.
The whole world accepts the diminishing of bicarbonates and the
accumulation of acids in our bodies as the inevitable result of aging.
I discovered that the diminishing of bicarbonates in the blood
is not the result of aging, but the very cause of aging.
If we can find ways to replenish bicarbonates, like recharging a
battery, we don’t have to get old. (More about replenishing
bicarbonates in the blood in chapter 5)
Getting back to Dr Frassetto’s research, the turning point of age 45
is the average age when symptoms of diabetes, arthritis,
hypertension, osteoporosis, cancer, etc., start to appear. Cancer
cells are acidic while healthy cells are alkaline. Cancer cannot
develop
In an alkaline environment; however, the lack of bicarbonates
creates an acidic environment, thus creating a breeding ground for
cancer. More bicarbonates in the body will prevent, but not
necessarily cure, cancer.
The two major categories of diseases are contagious diseases and
acid-induced adult degenerative diseases. Medical science excels in
treating the first category but poor in the latter because acid
accumulation does not show up in X-rays. By the time the
symptoms become so pronounced that they can be detected by xrays, it is usually too late.
In Reverse Aging, I discuss the various kinds of acidic waste and
acid-induced diseases. Since then I have learned that they are the
result of bicarbonate deficiency. In chapter 4, we will study the
caused of bicarbonate reduction and the sources of acid production
in our body. 7
Chapter 2
Foods and Special Diets
We think of diet for good health, but we don’t even know what’s in
the foods. An absolute majority of our foods (about 98%) is made of
carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. Only protein contains
nitrogen. These elements are the energy-giving elements of foods.
They give us energy by burning with oxygen. After burning, they
become acidic waste, such as acetic acid, cholesterol, lactic acid,
fatty acid, carbonic acid, uric acid, nitro-oxide, and ammonia.
The remaining 2% of the foods are alkaline minerals and acid
minerals, such as potassium , sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron,
sulfur, chlorine, iodine, etc. Depending on which minerals are more
predominant, we classify; There isn’t any so-called “alkaline
food” that does not produce net acidic waste, because 98% of
the foods produce acidic waste. We are fighting a losing battle to
neutralize acidic waste in the body by sticking to a so-called
“alkaline diet”; it will only create a nutritional deficiency problem
because we are not eating a balanced diet. Eat everything in
moderation and do not exclude any food. There is no medicine
for nutritional deficiency.
In discussing health, we usually think of diet and exercise. Diet is
the most confusing voo-doo science, and no two diet experts agree
with each other. The reason is very simple: all diet experts miss the
contribution of 98% of the foods.
None of the diet programs – vegetarian diets, vegan diets, raw
food diets, macrobiotic diets, low-carb diets – adds
bicarbonates to the blood.
Ingesting sodium bicarbonates (baking powder) does not add
bicarbonates to the blood, because the hydrochloric acid in the
stomach breaks up the sodium bicarbonates into water, carbon
dioxide and sodium salt. It is exactly like ingesting carbonic acid and
sodium salt. 8
Chapter 3
Exercise
Next to diet, we think of exercise to improve our health. Exercise
helps to burn calories and discharges acidic waste through
perspiration. It also tones muscles and helps build a lean and
muscular body. Exercise is good for health if done in
moderation. The notion of “push to the limit” and “no pain no gain”
can do more damage than help.
Over-exercise can create excessive lactic acid, which is a result of
insufficient oxygen. In some people, lactic acid can bring about
exercise-induced asthma. Even Mr. Lance Armstrong, with a larger
heart, has to break away from time to time to diffuse lactic acid. If he
had ample amounts of bicarbonates in his blood, lactic acid attacks
would have been reduced.
During exercise, blood pressure can be extremely high momentarily.
If we had clots and debris floating around in the blood vessels, there
is the risk of a stroke caused by high blood pressure clogging up
critical blood vessels with these clots and debris. Plenty of
bicarbonates will lower the risk of clots and debris
accumulation.
When we over-exercise or pull a muscle, we burn nutrients so fast
that the blood cannot carry away the waste products fast enough,
this creates an acidic pool. Unfortunately, acidic pools clog up
capillaries surrounding them and prevent acid wastes from coming
out. The spot is hot at the beginning, but as time goes by, blood
circulation stops and the temperature decreases and pain sets in.
The most important thing to note is that no exercise adds
bicarbonates to the bloodstream.9
Chapter 4
Why Do We Lose Bicarbonates?
Alkaline buffer, bicarbonate (HCO3
-) is usually mated with alkaline
minerals; for example, KHCO3, NaHCO3, Ca(HCO3)2 or Mg(HCO3),
is a combination of water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
When sodium hydroxide (NaOH), an alkaline element, enters the
bloodstream, the acid buffer reacts with it to lower the blood pH:
NaOH + H2CO3 + H2O (sodium bicarbonate and water).
Conversely, when hydrochloric acid (HCl), an acid element, enters
the bloodstream, the alkaline buffer reacts with it t elevate the blood
pH:
HCl + NaHCO3 = NaCl + H2CO3 (sodium salt and carbonic acid).
Acid buffer becomes alkaline buffer in one case and alkaline buffer
becomes acid buffer in the other. They fluctuate, depending upon
which element, alkaline or acid, enters into the bloodstream.
What is happening is that in the long run, we have more acidic
elements entering the bloodstream. Blood does its best to reduce
acid by exhaling CO2 from H2CO3 and urinating acid through the
kidneys. It is a delicate balancing act to maintain blood pH. Survival
is the human body’s top priority.
It is our lifestyle: diets, stressful routine, polluted environment,
“push-to-the–limit” personality, etc., that creates more acid in
the blood, which in turn taxes the alkaline buffer. The worst kind of
food that taxes bicarbonates is acidic soft drinks. I don’t believe in
the exclusion of any food, but I make an exception when it comes to
man-made soft drinks. 10
We are born with highly alkaline elements in our body. According to
Dr. Frassetto’s research, the body doesn’t seem to lose any
bicarbonates until age 45. However, it is my humble opinion that
our decline starts early and doesn’t appear until age 45 because of
the saturation phenomenon.
Depending on our lifestyle, we can delay the onset of the downward
dive or slow down the slope of the decline. However, we cannot
stop the eventual decline of bicarbonates in the blood by any
diet and exercise regiment alone.
In our present industrial environment, pollution is known to be the
cause of bicarbonate decrease. Dr. Prakova in Bulgaria studied over
100 workers in a plastic manufacturing factory with a polluted
environment and compared them with office workers of the same
company in anon-polluted environment. After10 years of study, he
noticed a marked decline of bicarbonates in the blood of those
workers in the polluted factory3). Yes, pollution, stress and
depression all tax the bicarbonates supplies in our blood. There is
no question that smoking also destroys bicarbonates.
Unless we replenish bicarbonates to our blood, they will diminish
regardless of what we do. It is a losing battle. 11
Chapter 5
How to Recharge Bicarbonates to the Blood
Good news! There are 2 methods to replenish bicarbonates to the
blood: drink high pH alkaline water and/or take enteric-coated
alkaline mineral pills.
5.1) Alkaline Water
Water Ionizers were developed in Japan over half a century ago,
and since then, the Japanese have been drinking alkaline. Despite
existing clinical research data from Japan, the US remains ignorant
of alkaline water’s health benefits. The drug industry is largely to
blame for this, since it doesn’t generate any financial gains from
water ionizer sales.
Fortunately, the benefits of alkalinity are being accepted not only by
homeopathic and holistic doctors, but by an increasing number of
mainstream doctors as well. However, most MDs are not scientists,
they do not understand how alkalinity works, especially when it
pertains to the human stomach. Most MDs believe that stomach
acid will destroy alkalinity.
To the best of my knowledge, the first publication of the subject of
adding bicarbonates to the bloodstream through drinking alkaline
water is on my Website4), www.alkalife.com , technical article #3
“Alkaline Water and Stomach Acid”. In a nutshell, when we drink
high pH alkaline water, the pH of the stomach goes up too high,
inducing the stomach to produce more hydrochloric acid. The
process of hydrochloric acid production is:
H2O + CO2 + NaCI = HCI + NaHCO3.
Hydrochloric acid goes into the stomach and sodium bicarbonate
goes into the bloodstream. The stomach cannot produce 12
hydrochloric acid without producing bicarbonates. The more
alkaline water we drink, the more hydrochloric acid is produced,
thereby the more bicarbonates are added to the blood. This is how
we add bicarbonates. The higher the water pH, the more
hydrochloric acid will be produced. (Please read article #26 on my
Website for more details.)
All water ionizer manufacturers claim that their ionizers are better
than the rest. Some of the superior properties they claim are higher
ORP (oxygen reduction potential), higher pH value of the alkaline
water. One of the problems with water ionizers is that the pH value
of the alkaline water is very much dependent on the alkaline mineral
content in the original tap water.
In 1994, I invented an alkaline concentrate. Alkalife®
. It comes in a
small plastic bottle (1.2oz.) with a control tip so that putting two
drops of into a 10oz glass of filtered tap water produces pH 10
alkaline water. Alkalife®
contains 7.5% potassium hydroxide, 2.5%
sodium hydroxide and 90% distilled water. The ratio of potassium
and sodium in the human body is very important in maintaining
health. I derived this ratio with a 200-person bio feedback test. The
ratio is an important part of my patent. In 2001, Dr. Lynda Frassetto
published a paper showing the proper ratio of potassium and
sodium in our diet, supporting my findings5
).
Alkalife®
is convenient to carry and is not murky like calcium or
magnesium concentrate. Potassium and sodium are stronger ORP
minerals than calcium or magnesium and, therefore, can dissolve
and kick calcium out of phosphates, urate, sulfate, kidney stones
etc.
We now have different brands of water of bottled water claiming all
kinds of heath benefits: energy water, magnetized water,
oxygenated water, ozone treated water, etc. However, none of
these waters adds bicarbonates to the blood. 13
5.2 Alkaline Mineral Pills
5.2.1 Bicarbonate pills
Since the goal of aging prevention is to add bicarbonates to the
bloodstream, and drinking water is not part of the American culture
but pill popping is, I attempted to produce a bicarbonate pill.
Naturally, I selected the same ratio of 75% potassium bicarbonate
and 25% sodium bicarbonate. To prevent creating an alkaline
shock to the blood, I mixed a time-release compound with it.
The problem with bicarbonates is that stomach acids breaks down
bicarbonates into carbon dioxide, water and salt; therefore,
bicarbonates will not reach the bloodstream. Even with a slow
release compound, whatever is dissolved in the stomach is wasted.
For this reason, the new pill is enteric-coated, not to dissolve in
the stomach but only after it dissolves in the small intestines.
Enteric is normally used to protect the stomach wall from drugs’
damaging effects. I use enteric coating to protect the pill from the
damaging effects of stomach acid.
Bicarb-Balance™ is the new pill. Its patent was applied for in
2004. Compared to Alkalife®
, Bicarb-Balance™ is independent of
the stomach’s condition in delivering bicarbonates to the blood. For
example, if the stomach is in an over-acidic state, drinking alkaline
water may not elevate the stomach pH significantly to produce
hydrochloric acid, meaning no bicarbonate will be produced. In
addition, some people are unable to produce hydrochloric acid and
need to take hydrochloric acid pills. Therefore, we cannot expect
their stomach to produce bicarbonates. For them, Bicarb-Balance™
will work more effectively.
5.2.2 Calcium pills
Kidney dialysis patients have to watch their potassium intake. Some
foreign countries are so bureaucratic so that they do not allow the
importation of potassium bicarbonates in pill form, for no technical,
medical or biological reasons, rather only because it is stated in the 14
book of rules. To overcome these obstacles, I looked for calcium
bicarbonate pills. To my surprise, no calcium bicarbonate is
available on the market.
My next step was creating a calcium carbonate pill. Enteric-coated
and time-release calcium carbonate powder delivered to the
bloodstream may be too alkaline when it enters the bloodstream,
because it is not in bicarbonate form. However, our blood contains
plenty of carbonic acid, which dissolves calcium carbonate and
converts it into calcium carbonate:
CaCO3 + H2CO3 = Ca(HCO3)2
(The Columbia Encyclopedia states; “calcium carbonate is largely
insoluble in water but is quite soluble in water containing dissolved
carbon dioxide, combining with it to form the bicarbonate”.)
This is a safe and very beneficial form of calcium in the blood. Not
only does it provide bicarbonate to neutralize acid as it enters the
bloodstream, but it also delivers very active calcium back to the
body.
This patent-applied pill, named ‘e-Cal™”, is a win-win pill because
it delivers both calcium and bicarbonate to the bloodstream,
two valuable elements we lose as we age.
Taking a regular calcium pill cannot achieve what e-Cal™ does,
because (1) calcium carbonate doesn’t dissolve well in water, (2) of
the too little calcium carbonate that dissolves in the stomach, it will
become water, carbon dioxide and calcium salt (hydrochloric acid
breaks down calcium carbonate):
CaCO3 + 2HCI = H2O + CO2 + CaCI2 15
5.3 Overview of bicarbonate deliverers
The amount of ingredients used for all three means of delivering
bicarbonates to the bloodstream—Alkalife®, Bicarb-Balance™ and eCal™ - are so small that these products are not considered as
pharmaceutical products by the FDA. They belong to the food or
mineral supplement category, and are not something to be taken for
a period of time and stop. They should be taken continuously,
similar to taking vitamins. Remember, bicarbonates in our
blood diminish continuously. These products are not medicinal.
They are steroid-free, non-habit forming and cause no known side
effects.
All these products achieve is add bicarbonates to the bloodstream to
promote the reduction of acid. Given enough bicarbonates, the
intelligent human body knows what to do in improve health.
There are no approved therapeutic claims.
Customers repeatedly report health improvement with Alkalife® and
Bicarb-Balance™. When we understand what bicarbonates do in
the human body, it makes perfect scientific sense. However, every
human being accumulates acid in different areas of the body and
the reactions of adding bicarbonates to the bloodstream are also
different. That’s why these products should not be considered as
medicines to cure any diseases.
Many symptoms that doctors cannot find a cause for are commonly
caused by excess acid in the body. Case in point, many of our
customers have reported an improvement of fibromyalgia,
migraines, depression, autism, etc. However, I do not recommend
the use of my products as a remedy of these symptoms until clinical
tests are done. So far, I have not been able to persuade any
medical doctors to conduct clinical tests.
In the meantime, open-minded intelligent people are trying
these products to improve their health, based on their scientific 16
understanding. Others will waste their life and health waiting
for clinical test results. 17
Chapter 6
Other Related Scientific Topics
6.1 Pollution
There are about 75 trillion cells in the human body. These cells live
on the average of only four weeks. At the end of its lifespan, the
core of the cell, the gene, splits into 2 halves and each half seeks
proteins and enzymes to duplicate the matching half; thus one cell
becomes two identical cells.
If every cell were to duplicate, there would be 150 trillion cells in 4
weeks; however, the fact is, we still maintain about 75 trillion cells.
This meant that only half of the cells regenerate and the other half
degenerate.
The question is: ‘Which cells regenerate and which degenerate?’
The law of nature is such that strong and healthy cells regenerate;
weak, injured, polluted, infected, damaged or dead cells degenerate.
This is how health is maintained in this world of pollution, radiation,
RF interference, insecticide, herbicide etc.
Since half of the 75 trillion cells degenerate in 4 weeks, we can
calculate the number of cells that degenerate every second to
be over 10 million. In other words, we can afford to lose over 10
million bad cells per second. Eventually, these dead cells become
acidic waste. If there are enough bicarbonates in our blood, the
bicarbonates would simply neutralize this waste, dump it and
balance and maintain our health. If not, we become ill.
A lot of people are paranoid with pollutants and eat only organically
grown foods. There is no need for that if there is ample amounts of
bicarbonates in the blood. 18
6.2 Immune system
Contagious diseases are obviously not caused by excess acid.
However, when foreign entities invade the human body, the body
declares war by creating white blood cells to fight the invaders. The
casualties of this war are dead cells from both sides, and they
eventually become acidic waste. If there were plenty of
bicarbonates in the body, they would neutralize this waste and the
body would recover quickly. If not, it would suffer the effects of acid
for longer duration. Bicarbonates provide immune protection.
6.3 Pregnancy
When a woman becomes pregnant, she loses quite a bit of alkaline
minerals to the fetus. In creating mankind, God made sure that the
new life gets priority in alkaline minerals. The fetus stays in the
placenta for 9 months. During that time, the fetus receives nutrients
through the umbilical cord for energy and growth.
When the nutrients are burnt, acidic waste is created. Since the
mother’s blood vessels are not connected the fetus’s blood vessels,
the acidic waste made by the fetus cannot come out through the
mother’s urine. The fetus must discharge into the placenta and it
remains there till the water breaks. For this reason, during the early
stage of pregnancy, the mother’s body loses a great deal of
bicarbonates to the placenta, causing her own body to suddenly
become acidic. Japanese doctors claim that this is the cause of
morning sickness.
Pregnancy is a major cause of osteoporosis. Women with a high
level of bicarbonates in the blood may not experience severe
morning sickness or suffer osteoporosis late in life. 19
Chapter 7
Conclusion and Postscript
7.1 Conclusion
As we start to lose bicarbonates in our blood, around age 45, we
begin to age physiologically. This is the new theory on aging. All
we have to do to stop aging and maintain good health is to recharge
bicarbonates to the blood. This is the new theory on reverse
aging. I’m not talking about a wrinkle remover or Botox. The key
ingredient of life and longevity is bicarbonates in the blood. I have
shown you the scientific facts and reasons and some easy methods
to achieve that; it is now up to you.
When you come across a product that people purportedly say is
good for your health, ask yourself if that product adds
bicarbonate to your blood; and if so, how? Many health
improvement methods and devices are available, diets, exercise,
Yoga, food supplements, vitamins, herbs, organic foods, Noni Juice,
raw foods, anti-oxidants, acupuncture, magnetic devices,
detoxification, chelation, oxygenated water, Pi water, massages,
and saunas. They all improve health and wellbeing in some people
some of the time, but none is effective in replenishing bicarbonates
to the blood.
Compared to what bicarbonates do in the body, the above
methods and devices only provide symptomatic relief.
7.2 Postscript
In developing these products and trying to market them
internationally, I realize how great this country is. We are assumed
innocent until proven guilty. In this country we can develop products
without first asking for government permission. Should people be 20
harmed by any of these products, the government rightfully steps in
to protect the public.
Some countries do not allow my products in without first proving that
they will not harm the public. I am assumed guilty until proven
innocent. It is very difficult to prove something that does not exist.
Furthermore, some countries ban perfectly healthy products, not
because of any technical, medical or biological reasons but because
certain ingredients are in some ancient regulation books as banned
substances. Some countries have even tested the products to be
non-toxic, yet still ban them for bureaucratic reasons.
Because of some over-zealous bureaucrats, many people in some
parts of the world are denied access to means of a healthier and
longer life.
In these days of the internet, we can have access to all kinds of
information, some correct and some wrong. How to distinguish and
use the correct information to our benefit requires wisdom. Wisdom
comes from God.
May God bless you and give you the wisdom to use the information
in this booklet to your benefit. 21
