Reid, The skin, the saliva etc. is acid and forms a barrier to bacteria, but the body strives to maintain an internal pH slightly alkaline. It does this, primarily through a chemical reaction culminating in the expiration of CO2. When the body cannot neutralise its acid waste and ingestion in this manner, it will resort to precipitating this waste out of solution, thereby eliminating its influence in the body-fluid pH. The newly formed solids are then deposited in various places as plague, stones etc. and can be a cause of many ailments, and poor health. Calcium, an alkaline mineral, will be stripped from the bones in order to combine with the acids to form these precipitates. Alkaline water, which is really a positive metal ion attached to negatively charged hydroxyl water ions OH-, supplies the OH- needed to neutralise the acids as water soluble compounds. The minerals, being of higher charge, will actually displace calcium from the plaques making it available for re-absorption into the bones. All around good stuff...mostly.
