Cholesterol is used to line the walls of your blood vessels to protect them from structural damage caused by strong acids in the blood. These acids are the result of a typical acidic diet. Over time, the protective cholesterol begins to build up excessively and clogs the arteries. This leads to high blood pressure and an overstrained heart.
Dr. Kancho Kuninaka, one of the pioneers of the alkaline water treament in Japan, states that virtually without exception, the patients with high blood pressure have an acidosis condition.
"Too many fats in the diets, which lead to the deposition of cholesterol on the blood vessels, which in turn constrict the blood flow, cause most illnesses such as high blood pressure. In accordance with the theory of Professor Gato of Kyushu University on Vitamin K (because vitamin K enables the blood calcium to increase), or the consumption of more antioxidant water, the effectiveness of the increase in the calcium in high blood pressure is most significant. The consumption of alkaline antioxidant water for a period of 2 to 3 months, I have observed the blood pressure slowly drop, due to the water's solvent ability, which dissolves the cholesterol in the blood vessels." -Prof. Kuninaka Hironage, Head of Kuninaka Hospital
