Luján of Catholic University of Córdoba in Argentina and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, has found that the Giardia lamblia parasite changes its shape when meeting the human immune system. The parasite is known to cause about 200 million cases of diarrhea each year, and the research into its function is helping to develop a genetically modified strain that can serve as a possible vaccine for the disease. <br />The Giardia genome contains nearly 200 genes that code for surface antigens. Despite the large number of genes, each parasite displays only a single<p><a href="http://www.alkaway.com.au/blog/giardia-a-very-tricky-parasite-in-drinking-water/">Read more right here ...</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Find More information at www.alkaway.com.au<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8261943803155030815-8491281405524542067?l=ionlife-healthemail.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alkababynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261943803155030815.post-18795346738689727222012-01-24T14:17:00.001+11:002012-01-24T14:17:06.974+11:00Another simple and excellent video on Coke's sugar content.

What Makes a Good MLM Distributor? <br /> <br />Readers who have been with me over the years would be aware that I am not overly enamoured by the MLM model of marketing. A couple of years ago I was offered the national distribution of IonWays by David Forsyth, an old friend and now MD of IonWays. It was attractive.. I have to admit.. but no matter how Cassie and I turned the idea over in our minds, we couldn't accept the ethics of MLM and therefore walked away from it. <br /> <br />Of course we questioned David at the time about the fact that almost all MLM sign-ups fail.

Few people really think about where oxygen we breathe in goes after the lungs. In fact it undergoes a quite miraculous transfer to the blood, which then sends it all overt the body to supply energy to every cell. But if our blood is too acidic, we have a problem. Oxygen carrying capacity falls sharply when the ideal alkaline pH falls towards acid. <br /> <br />That's a major, major reason we as a generation (talking to you, Boomers and beyond!) are always tired.

Is it because we want money? Why do we want money? What is money alleviating or fulfilling in us?

You would have seen that kidney stones grow from the ‘seed’ of acid crystals. These crystals form from saturated acids in the body. <br /> <br />So it makes sense that your ultimate strategy for a pain - and stone-free - future is staying fully hydrated and alkaline. <br /> <br />Metabolic acids and acids that you ingest in daily life can accumulate in your fluids and tissues.

I am so grateful you suggested the Alphion, it was a breeze to set up and now I have clean water at the press of a button! I have only been drinking alkaline water for 2 ½ weeks, but am already so happy with the results. <br /> <br />I have not felt so full of energy in years. I checked my pH levels before starting the water and I was at a level of 4!!!

However it has been used as a 'folk' remedy for decades and with a little ignorance this can lead to some pretty terrible situations when used improperly. .. such as<p><a href="http://alkaway-international.com/alkaway.com.au/blog/sodium-bicarbonate-as-an-alkalizer/">Read more right here ...</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Find More information at www.alkaway.com.au<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8261943803155030815-29169152070703087?l=ionlife-healthemail.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alkababynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261943803155030815.post-42730343690411424502011-12-26T19:31:00.001+11:002011-12-26T19:31:37.693+11:00Craig emailed me today about his hospitalised sister: <br /> <br />"I thought this was a very interesting fact. <br />my sister in law has just be admitted into Royal Perth hospital for having seizures <br />doctors have told her that her sodium levels are very low, and drinking too much water can be harmful. <br />The doctor has told her to stop drinking lots of water, it's not good for you <br />interesting...." <br /> <br />Craig, I'm not surprised.
