<\/p>\nWhat is pH?<\/p>\n
I\u00a0have been trying to understand pH for over 20 years now. It has turned out to\u00a0be a far more complicated subject than I first thought.<\/p>\n
It is\u2026 Mostly because there are several interrelated factors that change pH, some healthy, some not. \u00a0So it\u2019s important to choose the healthy options\u00a0<\/p>\n
Here is a link to help understand pH in relationship to hydrogen:<\/p>\n Art\u00edculos<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Higher pH is better, but ONLY if it\u2019s because of the healthy options.<\/p>\n And the pH rise is \u2018incidental\u2019 when molecular hydrogen is added, because H2 is pH neutral. \u00a0There are no extra electrons.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the \u2018other\u2019 factors (that are also healthy) that raise the pH. \u00a0Some types of electrolysis add electrons (in addition to the hydrogen) which then raises the pH naturally and healthfully. \u00a0NOT like adding a metal like sodium to raise the pH.<\/p>\n I will be greatful If you\u00a0can add to my understanding. I think we can agree the pH of all the organs and\u00a0tissues of the body is an important factor in health. \u00a0So important that each\u00a0breath factors into the pH of the blood as the blood has to be maintained within\u00a0a very tight alkaline parameter. \u00a0I have learned that the stomach, skin and colon\u00a0are better if they are acidic and the Gall Bladder and Small intestine need to be\u00a0alkaline. \u00a0Each cell has an alkaline pH of 7.25-7.35 within the cell and an even\u00a0higher pH in fluids outside the cell.<\/p>\n All the above is correct in my understanding and opinion.<\/p>\n I also have learned that pH is another way of saying it is a measurement of\u00a0electrons in a solution.<\/p>\n So a pH of 7.35 is the same as -25 millivolts. A pH over\u00a07 is measured in negative millivolts<\/p>\n Because of \u2018extra\u2019 electrons.<\/p>\n What you are describing can be measured with an ORP meter.<\/p>\n and a pH under 7 is measured in positive\u00a0millivolts. And as I know you know pH stands for potential hydrogen. \u00a0I believe\u00a0you have said that if you put Browns Gas into distilled water which of course\u00a0has neither positive or negative millivolts<\/p>\n Actually, most distilled water is positive ORP (electron deficient).<\/p>\n but is neutral<\/p>\n Just because water is pure does not mean that it\u2019s neutral.<\/p>\n that the pH will increase.<\/p>\n Correct. \u00a0NOT because of the added H2, but because of the ExW component in the Brown\u2019s Gas.<\/p>\n ExW is a negatively charged (excess electrons) plasma form of water.<\/p>\n \u00bfQu\u00e9 es ExW y por qu\u00e9 importa?<\/a><\/p>\n Spectro-analysis shows that HydrOxy contains monatomic hydrogen and oxygen but it\u2019s only about 3% of the total volume. Evidence indicates that HydrOxy also contains a significant volume of Electrically Expanded Water (ExW). We theorize that ExW is a negatively charged (electron rich) cold plasma form of water. Depending on the quality of the HydrOxy \u2026 Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n If I am understanding you correctly this clearly shows that with the addition of\u00a0hydrogen in the water not only does the water have more elemental hydrogen\u00a0but because of that increase the pH as expected also went up.<\/p>\n Not because of the H2.<\/p>\n When a\u00a0hydrolysis<\/p>\n Hydrolysis is the wrong word. \u00a0Look up the definition. \u00a0It\u2019s a completely different process and people miss-use the word all the time. \u00a0A pet peeve of mine. \u00a0The correct word is electrolysis.<\/p>\n unit adds more hydrogen to the water it also increasing the pH.<\/p>\n Not because of the H2, but because of the ExW (or other way that adds electrons).<\/p>\n I do\u00a0not think is correct to say those units are only helpful because they increase\u00a0hydrogen and the pH increase is not a factor because from my understanding\u00a0they are linked.<\/p>\n They are somewhat linked but it isn\u2019t the pH that is \u2018healthful\u2019.<\/p>\n A study was done with so called \u2018alkaline\u2019 water from an ionizer (like the kangen machines).<\/p>\n They removed the pH (made it neutral) and the healthy benefits remained.<\/p>\n They removed the hydrogen, maintaining the pH and the health benefits disappeared.<\/p>\n The pH was NOT the \u2018healthful\u2019 ingredient.<\/p>\n Now I know the addition of any metal will alter the pH. \u00a0The\u00a0addition of say calcium will make the pH higher. \u00a0 This is what I see in a lot of\u00a0pH waters that are on the market. \u00a0Calcium is added to the water to increase its\u00a0pH and that very well may give a person no benefit and in fact may harm them.<\/p>\n Correct.<\/p>\n To sum up my understanding I am saying an increase in hydrogen in a solution\u00a0is also an increase in pH of that solution.<\/p>\n H2 alone will not increase pH. \u00a0Only incidental extra electrons or the addition of a mineral or the \u2018concentration\u2019 of minerals (like the Kangen does) will increase pH.<\/p>\n So there is a general miss-understanding of what pH really is, why pH increases, what the most healthful pH is and the way to increase healthful pH.<\/p>\n\nHow to measure pH?<\/strong><\/h1>\n
