Many roads, same destination

Had a wonderful talk with Steve this morning; me sitting at home sipping my liquorice tea, Steve on a  'layover' in Tokyo. Skype is truly amazing, don't you think?

Steve is a 'triple seven' pilot. The big ones. He's also a total alkaline water convert after buying a Melody some time ago. 

But that's not why we were talking. Steve and his wife are seriously into vitality. His wife first alerted Steve to acidity in a rather unusual way. As a dental hygienicist, she began to see a direct relationship between gum health and acidic patients. Patient after patient presented to her with inflamed gums were obviously acidic. 

It's not hard to tell; flushed, over emotional, bad skin.. there are many signs. She recommended they changed to a toothpaste with bicarb for their gums, (Arm and Hammer Dental Care) but talking to Steve, she discussed the bigger problem; the elephant in the room; the ongoing acidic diet of these people that was behind the problem in the first place.

I don't know if you know much about life in the sky. Airline pilots may just have the unhealthiest job on earth - or above earth. Lack of exercise is only one thing. The constant pressure changes, the dehydration, the radiation... they seriously earn their money! Management have recently even warned them against drinking water in many big ports of call. 

So Steve would really miss his Melody alkaline water in the many hours in the sky. He also realised that his fellow skybirds must be in the same situation, so he's writing an article on dehydration and alkaline balance for the international aircrews magazine, recommending our Fill2Pure with the AlkaSachet. It just makes sense. At 40000 feet or on the ground, being able to access superbly filtered alkaline ionized water for around 2c a litre; what a gift!
