-- The following is taken from pathologist / biochemist Russell Beckett's 2001 U.S. patent 6,328,997
-- When reading "protein" think electrolyte channels, pumps, receptors, etc , and for "cell membrane lipids" think structures where such proteins are functionally embedded. The reason for an AF arrhythmiac to consume alkaline magnesium bicarbonate water - such as Unique Water or its equivalent WW - becomes obvious.
-- Also, when reading "nucleic acids" think mitochondrial and chromosomal DNA..
-- In particular note the ~ 50% difference in plasma urea over the 4 years of the data.

EXAMPLE 3
One hundred and ten Merino ewe lambs were divided randomly at weaning into a control group and a treatment group. The groups were of equal size and were maintained under similar conditions except for the pH values and aqueous metal [magnesium] bicarbonate concentrations of drinking water supplies.
Senescence in mammals [us]
is characterised by progressive oxidations of the structural and functional molecules that constitute body cells and tissues. These oxidations occur particularly in nucleic acids, protein amino acids and cell membrane lipids.
Because protons often participate in biological redox reactions, oxidations of many structural and functional molecules in body cells and tissues are increased in rate by the presence of excess proton concentrations. Oxidations of structural and functional molecules are increased in rate by acidic conditions.
Oxidations of nucleic acids and protein amino acids lead to nucleic acid and protein degradation respectively. These degradations lead to senescence in mammals. Nucleic acid degradation is manifested by either cell death or cell transformation to the cancerous state.
Protein degradation is manifested by increased urea concentrations in the body which can be detected in the plasma.
Determination of plasma urea concentrations in elderly mammals is a direct measure of amino acid oxidation, protein degradation and overall nitrogen (anabolic / catabolic) balance.
Determination of plasma urea concentrations in elderly mammals is a direct measure of cellular degenerations and senescence.
Over several years, plasma urea concentrations were determined for the control group and the treatment group. Plasma urea concentrations are given below:
Mean plasma urea concentrations in elderly sheep (mmol per litre) Age (years)
Control Group
(8) 11.
(10) 13.
(12) 13.
Treatment Group
(8) 5.
(10) 3.
(12) 7.
The treatment group had smaller plasma urea concentrations than the control group.
