FREE: pH Test Kit (Delivered) by Alkaway

321

Simply fill out the form, but you'll need to provide a valid email address, as you'll need to respond to a confirmation request.

Are you acidic or alkaline? Fill in the form to find out. According to Dr Robert Young, Ph.D, alkaline research pioneer and author of ‘The pH Miracle’, we should be testing ourselves for pH balance at least once a year. He adds: “Monitoring your pH puts the responsibility of caring for your health back into your hands. It also lets you track your own results as you make positive changes in your lifestyle and diet, giving you immediate feedback about how you eat, drink and live affects your body and your health and ultimately, the quality and quantity of your life.”

  • Hmm, not sure I'd give my email address for a piece of litmus paper (I'm guessing).

    • +3

      or worse, half a bottle of red cabbage juice.

    • +4

      That's why you have dedicated email and shipping addresses for such things.

      • +9

        It's not even worth a disposable email address, IMO. Smells like a crackpot health theory.

  • When I see "TA" logo, all I could think of is freebies or bargain!!!

  • +8

    Umm, everybody should be alkalotic, end of story. If your pH isn't within a tiny range of 7.35-7.45 there's something terribly wrong with you. If anybody here is acidotic (pH <7) they should be in ICU.

      Tell it to jv

        JV would melt the test strip

    I read this and thought it'd be useful for swimming pools.
    How wrong

    • +2

      Yes. It's not useful for anything.

  • +3

    Yeah this is psuedoscientific garbage. Don't waste your time.

  • NB: Not suitable for testing water (pools, fish tanks, etc)
    That is exactly what i intended to do with these!!!

    • +3

      Yeah but what if the tester is rigged to always show acidic so they can sell you their alkaline snake oil? Then you'd be killing your fish with alkali if you believe the result.

    I like the "Science" on this page http://www.alkaway.com.au/learning-centre/hydrogen/

    Our conclusion is that the industry succeeded despite the lack of any large scale studies of the water’s properties or effects. It survived and prospered because of the immediate effects so many people had from the water.

    Even without the science backing it up, it ‘sold itself’. The obvious conclusion is that the water works!

    Strangely that is not the conclusion I reached!

      Exhibit #1: The Placebo Effect

    • +4

      This bit is even worse:

      Authorities in the UK, USA and Australia protect the consumer from false claims of any sort.

      A false claim, in their view, is any claim of therapeutic effect without a proscribed, double-blind study by recognized and approved researchers…

      However… good news always finds a way, and the use of MLM as a sales method allowed some companies to ‘subcontract’ the job of spreading stories to potential customers. If users were also sellers and they could verbally tell their stories of healing, the supplier company would not be liable.

      If your business model relies on your salespeople being subcontractors so that you can avoid legal liability when they make false claims about the product, you're a scumbag.

  • I thought it's a free soil pH tester lol

    Am I supposed to test the water I am drinking, my urine, my saliva or my blood?

    They are designed with a limited range of pH to allow more accurate readings of pH within human body limits

    1. Alkalized the water with beneficial alkaline minerals.

    They're there regardless

    1. Negatively charged the minerals in the water.

    No, you're not.

    1. ‘Microclustered’ the water to give superior hydration.

    I don't even.

    The people who buy this crap are the same people the use homeopathy and put crystals around their house to soak up the bad juju. Please don't encourage this, even if it's free. You can come to my work and I'll test the pH of whatever you want for free if it means you don't take a second look at this garbage.

      Most of Melbourne's water supply is very soft and has smaller amounts of 'alkaline minerals' than many other municipal water supplies around the globe: http://www.melbournewater.com.au/waterdata/drinkingwaterqual…
      .. but they are still there, and 'people who buy this crap' are likely drinking bottled water for the the 'health benefits' anyway, so I guess it's all irrelevant.

    • I applaud your sentiment, but then there's the placebo effect and people will experience boosts of happiness and perceived health from nothing at all but kind (or misleading) words…

      • That and a lighter wallet. First hit is free, kid.

        • Hehe … just the fact that the user spent money can change their perception of how the product worked for them also.

  • OzBargainsed! :-)

    I like their water jugs and bottles, not only are they practically a steal at $150, they also filter out "Polio". No more scheme water and a lifetime on crutches for me…..

    • +1

      Well I guess you never can be too safe even if it's diseases that have been eradicated right :p

      • Well so long as the filter is Halal, gluten free, organic, GM free and doesn't use Palm oil I'm in!

  • I use one of their desktop filters and it is brilliant. Whether it helps for my health, I am sure because it filters out chlorine and Floride.

    But beware - Chris Kresser has this:

    http://chriskresser.com/the-ph-myth-part-1

    • "because it filters out chlorine and Floride" - neither of which have been shown to have any health effects at all other than improving health.

      BTW I think most water is sterilised using chloroamine or something now rather than chlorine.

  • Thank you for requesting our pH test kit.

    We'd like to send you one immediately but unfortunately we were listed on ozbargains as a free offer and we got 1000’s of requests - far more than we can do. And… we are always swamped over the Christmas period.

    ;)
