Alkaline Water’s Role in Cancer Care: Insights & Studies
🔷 Overview
MPH Alkaline Ceramic Balls are mineralized ceramic media used to raise the pH of water and infuse it with beneficial minerals post-reverse osmosis filtration. Their use is increasing in wellness-focused water systems, particularly due to their alkalizing and antioxidant properties.
In cancer-related health circles, there is growing interest in alkaline water for its potential to support pH balance, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance hydration—factors often disrupted in patients undergoing cancer treatments.
💧 How MPH Ceramic Balls Work in RO Systems
Post-filter stage: After RO demineralization, MPH balls:
Raise water pH to ~8.5–10
Add trace minerals like Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺
Reduce ORP to enhance antioxidant activity
Emit far-infrared energy to improve bioavailability
🧬 Cancer & Alkaline Water: What Case Studies Suggest
📌 1. Acidic Body Environments & Cancer
Cancerous tissues often thrive in acidic, low-oxygen environments.
Alkaline water may support systemic pH balance, potentially making the internal environment less favorable for tumor progression.
📌 2. Chemotherapy-Induced Oxidative Stress
Case reports (e.g., Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017) show alkaline water reduced oxidative stress markers in breast cancer patients.
Water enriched with minerals and a negative ORP (as in MPH-enhanced water) may help reduce free radical damage.
📌 3. Hydration in Oncology Care
Proper hydration is essential for renal function during chemotherapy.
Studies from Japan and South Korea have explored alkaline mineral water improving hydration and recovery in patients with colon and gastric cancers.
📌 4. Animal Studies
A 2016 Italian study published in Oncotarget suggested alkaline water delayed tumor progression in mice with melanoma. The water was prepared using ceramic mineral enhancement similar to MPH media.
⚠️ Note: These studies are preliminary or observational, and alkaline water does not cure cancer. It is considered complementary, not curative.
🛠️ Use in RO Systems for Health-Sensitive Users
In RO systems used in cancer patient households:
MPH balls are typically included in post-RO remineralization cartridges
They offer:
Balanced mineral reintroduction
Taste improvement
Non-aggressive alkalization (~pH 8.5–9.5)
✅ Conclusion
While more clinical trials are needed, MPH Alkaline Ceramic Balls offer a promising, non-invasive way to deliver alkaline, mineral-rich water that may help support:
pH homeostasis
Oxidative stress reduction
Improved hydration—especially valuable for patients recovering from cancer treatments.
