In light of the effects of Tropical Storm Debby, which contributed to flooding in several areas along the gulf coast during the last week of June, Florida insurance agency Patrons Insurance Agency, Inc. urges Floridians to recognize the need for flood insurance.

Rainfall exceeded 12 inches in Gainsville and Jacksonville, and Tampa set a new record for June rainfall totaling 18.66 inches. Hundreds of homes and businesses experienced flooding, including homes in areas where homeowners were told they didn?t need to purchase flood insurance.

Several Pasco County residents told a local news station they were told they didn?t need to purchase flood insurance when they bought their homes, even though their homes were situated in a ?Zone A? flood zone.

Patrons Insurance Agency would have advised these residents otherwise. As a local Florida agency that?s been serving the state since 1991, Patrons has a thorough understanding of how flood insurance works and who needs it. The agents at Patrons believe now is as good a time as any to educate Florida residents about the importance of flood insurance, especially in areas that are at or below sea level.

In fact, everyone lives in a flood zone and most homeowners insurance policies don?t cover damage brought on by flooding. Most people think flood insurance is way too expensive, but the facts are there are several discounts available.

People living in moderate to low risk areas can get a Preferred Risk Policy, with flood insurance premiums as low as $ 129 per year, according to the National Flood Insurance Program. Even residents who are hoping to skip the flood insurance and rely on federal disaster assistance, should a flooding effect their property, should be aware that those are loans that must be paid back with interest. The cost of those loans can be about $ 240 per month, whereas a flood insurance premium could be around $ 33 per month.

These are all reasons Florida residents should consider purchasing flood insurance from a Florida insurance agency they trust. And Patrons Insurance Agency would like to be that agency. With several years of experience and a commitment to finding clients the best coverage at competitive rates, Patrons prides itself on being able to deliver what it promises.

In recent years, the technology of home water ionizers has become increasingly popular throughout North America and Europe. As with most things, when people become increasingly aware and demand increases, so does the influx of information and opinions. With the increased use of the internet one can find information on just about any topic, whether the information is fact, fiction or just plain outrageous can be hard to decipher.

Thus, this white paper has been written, to sort out the proven facts from theories and false information. While this is just a small fraction of the common claims that are out there, on the topic of healthy alkaline water, the following is experts opinion, with facts and research.

It?s better for the body to be slightly alkaline.

Both alternative health professionals and Western medical doctors agree that to maintain health, the main fluids in the body ? blood, lymph, interstitial fluids surrounding the cells need to be slightly alkaline.

?The first step in maintaining health is to alkalize the body.?

Arthur Guyton, M.D. Textbook of Medical Physiology

As one Ages It becomes harder to maintain pH.

Research has shown that human body lose the ability to buffer pH as we age, and the body stores acid waste in fat cells or in other storage forms that are not healthy. (Frasetto, 1996) Chronic mild acidosis may in fact be the underlying cause of many diseases.

The Body?s PH is Effected by Diet, alkaline water and other lifestyle factors.

It?s true that human body can affect the pH of body?s inner ocean by changing diet, drinking alkalizing beverages, and reducing stress and exposure to environmental pollutants.

One can quickly change pH to more alkaline to address acute or chronic disease by drinking ionized water.

There is no research to validate that disease can be cured quickly by changing the pH of the body?s internal ocean through diet or drinking ionized water. It?s a reasonable theory backed by

observation and case histories. However, over time with diligence in diet and drinking alkaline, ionized water, most people notice differences in their health, and some have reported near miraculous reversals of their health problems.

Consuming a raw vegan diet is the best way to stay alkaline.

While some natural health experts advocate at least an 80% raw vegetable diet, there is no scientific evidence that proves it is the best way to alkalize for everyone. All individuals have different metabolic systems, and what works for one person may not be right for another. However, ionized, alkaline water provides hydroxyl ion buffers that can benefit everyone. Since it is simply OH-,the body makes water out of it if the buffer is not needed for neutralizing acids.

Water Ionizer can?t change the pH of tap water.

This is easily proven as false. All one have to do is test the water with a pH meter before and after ionizing to find the pH has changed as much as the source water and power setting will allow. Testing will also show that ionization changes the electrical charge of the water from positive ? or oxidizing ? to negative, making it an antioxidant.
