It's obviously good to know whether you need to alkalise before making your decision to invest in alkaline balancing systems.
Although the vast majority of Westerners are overloaded with acid waste, there are a very few who are not. This is as much a hereditary predisposition as anything, yet drinking alkaline water and following an alkaline diet as suggested here may not sustain their need for the balancing effects of acid food.
 In her excellent book The Chemistry of Success Dr Susan M. Lark MD says that understanding the importance of your pH balance will lead you to the realisation that peak performance and general health are intimately related, and that robust health is essential if you want to meet your goals in life.

Dr Lark lists the benefits of maintaining a
healthful state of alkalinity:
Peak performance benefits

Why Choose a Water Alkalizer?
Because we are on our personal "Acid Trip".
There are many reasons our clients choose a Jupiter water Alkalizer over other water systems, but the fundamental one is always its ability to give precisely controlled alkaline purified water at the touch of a button.
Why do our clients choose to drink alkaline water?
Let's follow the way Dr Gerry Brady found the secret of alkaline water.
The Link
Dr Brady had long been interested in longevity, and had even written a book about it. As a GP and co-founder of Progen Industries, a leading Australian biotechnology company which specializes in anti-cancer research, he was well aware of the theories of longevity that abounded about certain areas of the world and the people who lived there. However his investigative medical training was looking for the common thread that caused these disparate communities to live longer than others nearby. What he did realise, however, was a common link between all of these far flung communities.
They all drank alkaline water.
 The Italian Connection
While he pondered this, he was lucky enough to holiday in Northern Italy, where he sampled some of their excellent wines. He was surprised that unlike similar vintages and varieties in Australia, he would wake up next morning feeling fine, with no after-effects. Upon investigation, he found that most Australian varieties are grown in acid soils, whereas Tuscan vineyards are fed by water from the mighty Dolomites, a mountain range so named for their highly alkaline rock. He realised that the significant difference - and the reason he felt so good - was that the vines had been fed by water which had passed through a Limestone aquifer .
Being a doctor in a busy central Brisbane practice, he was well aware of the effect of acid on Australian people. He was forever cautioning patients to ease up on acid-producing foods.
So to check on his " Northern Italy Theory " he began searching the Internet for more data on the effect of alkaline water. It wasn't long before a study by a Finnish researcher of 100,000 death certificates came to his attention.
In this test, the cause of death was recorded along with the region the deceased had lived. In Finland there are distinct area where the water is alkaline, and so it provided a clear indication of the effect of alkaline water on longevity and cause of death.
Heart Disease Effect
After tabulating the 100,000 certificates, the results were clear as crystal. The report stated that drinking alkaline water reduced the possibility of heart disease by a whopping 22%!
Dr Brady commented; "If I had a drug that could promise that, I'd be a Billionaire!"
Dr Frassetto found that the sheer volume of metabolic acid waste generated by modern lifestyles had caused the body to make a fundamental evolutionary change.
No longer did it automatically filter and eliminate all acid waste through the kidneys and liver. It was beginning to store acid waste in fat. The reason she concluded was that the body had decided that to continue to use the kidney and liver was more dangerous for survival of these vital organs
than the alternative of storing it in body fat.

...if we
kept on overworking our kidneys and liver, just to rid the body of the vastly increased load of acid waste, these vital organs would fail before their time.

Summarizing, if we kept on overworking our kidneys and liver, just to rid the body of the vastly increased load of acid waste, these vital organs would fail before their time.
Obviously, there are many ways to alkalize the body. It can be done with food, with alkaline concentrated dehydrated greens, with water alkalizing drops, with meditation and Qi Gong, and with alkaline water; all with varying degrees of effect.
However Sang Whang makes the important distinction that to succeed with alkaline food (an 80/20 mix of alkaline to acid is required) you need to eat a very large amount of greens. If these are not organic, you will be also eating a large amount of chemicals in the form of pesticides etc.
Water, on the other hand, easily hydrates and almost instantaneously reaches the cellular level.
