A Nurses's Review
I am a nurse. I have been buying this water since Sept 2016 and started drinking it to see if it would help with my acne since I've tried dermatologists and everything under the sun. I did not notice a difference with my acne as I've finally figured out it was an allergy related to makeup and products. But what I did notice is that I have been around all kinds of sick people, coworkers, patients, kids, etc and I have not had a virus or illness once. There were 3 times when I felt like I was getting sick and I just drank more Essentia water and it never amounted to anything at all. I've had 2 sinus surgeries for allergies and been on antibiotics off and on for years for viral and allergy related sinus infections. I've barely taken any medications since drinking this water and I was an almost daily Allegra user. I'm real hesitant and skeptical to give such good review over alkaline water because there is very little research to back up what I've experienced. What the research "suggests" though is that viruses have a difficult time surviving in an alkaline environment. If I can spend a little money drinking alkaline water and not get sick, then I'd say it's definitely worth not missing work, time and energy going to the doctor, and battling a virus for several weeks. So I'm going to keep drinking it! I'm the type that gets sick all the time and seasonal sick as the weather changes. Fall and winter is always the worst. Haven't gotten one cold or anything this year yet! This has never ever happened to me! I've tried other alkaline waters but did not experience the same effects. I will update this post in the coming months but for now I'm a believer. Many of my nurse coworkers that have been sick with upper respiratory infections are buying this water. I will be interested to hear their experiences too! My daughter started getting sicker few weeks ago, sore throat and spiked a temp and I had her drink a bunch of Essentia water that night and subsequent 2 days and she had minimal symptoms after and was completely fine in less than 48 hours. Coincidence? We shall see. As for now I'm willing to spend the money for this company to keep making good water. And maybe someday I will get my own ph water system!
