Alkaline Ionized Water

According to Dr Roy Walford, UCLA, our bodies should sustain us at least 120 years. So why don’t they?

 

It is now generally accepted by the scientific community that many ageing symptoms and even premature death may be caused by accumulated toxins at a cellular level plus the damaging effects of free radicals. Toxins are a natural by-product of our normal metabolism but are also ingested through the breath, through food or liquids. Due to this toxic overload, we are unable to absorb or utilise food properly. Our blood becomes more viscous, slower and polluted. As our major internal transport system, it cannot make the required delivery of new nutrients.


A toxic waste dump in our body cells and a drastically compromised nutritional delivery and waste removal system (lymph) means that today, even with advances in medicine, we still hover below the Biblical four score and ten, with much of our latter years spent in declining physical mobility and quality of daily life.


So why do we get sick? Let’s look at what an oxygen free radical is. In the atmosphere outside of our bodies, diatomic oxygen as 02 is relatively stable. However within our bodies we manufacture small but significant quantities of monatomic oxygen. This form of oxygen is active and unstable and seeks to attach itself to molecules within our cells. This is caused by its atomic form; it has one or more unpaired electrons; electrons seeking to rob our body of matching electrons to achieve stability. If we breathe in 100 litres of oxygen, 2 litres will become active oxygen. These are the famous free radicals, highly aggressive and with great REDOX (Reduction/Oxidation) potential, or ability to scavenge electrons. Like all of nature’s infinite balance, strong REDOX potential is useful in substances that sterilize open wounds and kill bacteria, but within the body, this same potential, released in excess, is only potential for harm. Instead of fulfilling its designated role of absorption and neutralization of putrefied body waste through oxidation, it attacks healthy cells.


Putrefaction is not natural within the body. It occurs when the body is unable to neutralize invasive microbes that attack and consume peptides, amino acids and proteins of meat fish and eggs. Its effects are something we are all familiar with in the form of foul smelling substances such as hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, amines indoles phenols and scatoles. They manifest in the digestive tract and are pathogenic. Hydrogen sulphide and ammonia damages the liver. Amines are precursors to atopic dermatitis, urticaria, and asthma. Indoles and Phenols are carcinogenic.


As Louis Pasteur once noted, the ‘inner terrain’ is everything. If the inner terrain cannot repel microbiological attack, then the production of putrefying material will be vastly increased. The body will then have to fall back on its second line of defence and begin production of white corpuscles known as Neutrophils, which are microscopic reactive oxygen factories. It is not hard to understand that all this extra strain on the system is the reason scientists attribute excess free radical production to premature ageing or death.


It is essential that we have the ability to neutralize these excess free radicals before they begin attacking healthy tissue. Healthy tissue, once damaged, can more easily become the site of future cancer. By preventing this oxidation of healthy tissue, we prevent disease.
How can we do this? The answer is deceptively simple; we supply the body with a source of free electrons; electrons that can satisfy the free radicals’ urge to oxidize by donating their negative charge to the positively charged free radicals. There are many such products on the market; vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and glutathione to name a few. All work at a molecular level. This means that it requires one molecule to ‘carry’ one free electron to one free radical. Water, however, with its simple molecular structure, is the ideal transport system.
It is small enough to get into the cellular tissue quickly. It is soluble enough to penetrate body mass and to pass through the digestive system. However among all its advantages, there is one big disadvantage. It has no negatively charged electrons to give away.


There are many water systems that claim that the water produced by their filters have antioxidant abilities. However we are again saved by simplicity. Water that is able to donate electrons to the body’s free radicals has a negative REDOX potential. This is easily measured by a device known as an ORP (Oxidation/Reduction Potential) Meter. These are even available at a relatively low outlay (around $200) and test the water by immersion of a probe, giving a digital readout in millivolts. If the water is negatively charged, it has electrons to donate. If not, it is not much different to a free radical in its need for union with negatively charge electrons. It will rob your body of free electrons.


Summarizing, the 'RE' part of 'REDOX' is reduction, or the addition of an electron. 'OX' (Oxidation) is the removal of an electron. Adding an electron to your body adds energy. Reduction of an electron loses energy. Japanese scientists researching water’s curative powers realized that while the pH of water was important, the REDOX potential was far more important because although correct pH is extremely important for daily functioning of the blood system and in turn, every other body system, correct REDOX plans for your future body health by reducing the effects of free radical damage to the very cells your system is composed of!


It is important not to be taken in by products advertising antioxidant water without test results.


Proof is simple; if the water can be tested to be negatively charged, it is antioxidant. If not, it is not, even though it may reduce the positive charge to a lesser evil, ie. it will rob your body of less electrons than the water it processes.
If you are looking at any water device that claims antioxidant power, ask for proof. If you are given highly ‘scientific’ answers that you can’t understand, beware! This is not a complex test. ORP (Oxidation/Reduction Potential) readings from water from all of our Ionizers will range from below zero to -400mv.


How is this ORP achieved? In the case of water ionizer, a microscopically controlled charge of electricity passes between two titanium electrodes. This causes the necessary polarization of molecules in the in-flowing water and creates a whole new form of water molecule called OH-. The byproduct is an equally useful acidic H+. This restructured OH- water is a simpler molecular form than the familiar H20, and is able to group itself with like molecules in a molecular cluster around HALF the size of H20 molecular clusters.


Ionized water, negatively charged and restructured begins work immediately it enters the body.


In the gut, it inhibits excess fermentation by reducing metabolites like such as hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, amines, indoles, phenols and scatoles. Cleaner and less odiferous stools are the result.


In the liver, Ionized water is able to infuse and hydrate far more effectively than H2O. Everywhere in the body, Ionized water easily passes through cell walls and with its alkalinity, begins the process of neutralizing and flushing away acid wastes stored at a cellular level. Cells are able to grow and mature without interference by free radicals.


Warning: Some products that do not have microprocessor control actually claim similar ORP figures to those we quote here. ASK FOR PROOF! We have tested these units and have never witnessed negative REDOX potential.


WHAT TO EXPECT
It is important that you consult your doctor before beginning any new health modality, although unlike a new drug or exercise, we are simply advocating the consumption of water, which has already been shown to be a healthy life decision. The only conditions we are aware of that may be exacerbated by the consumption of Ionized water are those related to an inability to manufacture stomach acids.
Ionized water, through its restructured form, can increase your body’s cells ability to absorb water and the nutrients the water may carry. It is this initial effect that is referred to as a ‘healing crisis’ as toxic wastes begin to be flushed from cells where they may have been stored for many years, and re-enter the body prior of being flushed out. These waste substances still have the ability to cause symptoms and these symptoms may be experienced in the first month. Remember; everyone is an individual, and therefore everyone reacts differently. Absence of such symptoms does not mean that nothing is happening as a result of your water choice.
Early effects may include radically increased energy levels, clarity of mind, changes in eyesight, or less need for sleep. These will pass as your system adjusts to the changed water.

WHAT DOES ALKALINE WATER DO?
"Concerning water pH perhaps it can best be explained by understanding that the greatest malady of disease is hyperacidity. Rarely, if ever, does an individual suffer from a chronic alkalosis. This condition only manifests following a trauma, injury or other acute scenario.”
Dr Robert C. Greenberg Ph.D., D.C.,
With 70% of your body consisting of water, alkaline water intake is an obvious way to change the very environment, or inner terrain in which your body cells exist. For our cells to live in an acid environment is like living in a greenhouse. Germs, pathogens, bacteria all thrive in such conditions.
Note that some water filter system sales people recommend water with a pH of 7.5. Australians are not aware that under the Australian Water Quality Guidelines, our tap water is required to pass from our taps at neutral pH or slightly alkaline. In our home at Byron Bay, our water regularly arrives with a pH of 7.7, so it would be useless to buy a device that can only deliver minimal pH change. Scientists at Shiga University Japan researched this very question and found that the best pH for water intake is between 8 and 9.5 pH. Make sure that any system you consider has the ability to control pH electronically and precisely.


GOOD FOOD TASTING BETTER
We have found that Ionized water users regularly report enhanced taste for food, plus an unexpected by-product; as they begin to become more alkaline internally, many long-held food addictions may just drop away. The Body-Mind has made a decision based on the way it feels and you may suddenly decide, for no apparent health reason, to give up coffee, or fatty products, or Coca Cola. These and many more are only a few of the beneficial changes we have either experienced or witnessed. We have also observed that as we increase our Ionized water intake, weight loss is a natural by-product.
One user reports that her two children have taken to looking for the Ionized water iceblocks in the freezer and consuming them faster than she can make them.


AT THE GYM/ON THE TRACK
At the Gym, our Victorian agents, serious triathlon competitors, have noticed a great increase in training efficiency due to the flushing away of lactic and pyruvic acids from the joints. One Toowoomba user, another serious triathlete, initially reported an exacerbation of old arthritic pains, but by continuing slowly rather than hurrying the process, he went on to win his State championship and commented that after the race, for the first time, he suffered no fatigue.


ELIMINATION
Food appears to more fully digested and most users report significantly improved bowel movements.


IN THE STOMACH
Ionized water is approved by the Japanese Government for gastro-intestinal disorders. We have found many people have resolved long term stomach problems with our Ionizers within a very short time.


ON THE SKIN
WE have witnessed video of a Japanese man who was diagnosed with We have on file some reports from users that are nothing short of amazing. One lady suffered from chronic eczema all over her body since birth, and by drinking the alkaline Ionized water and bathing in the astringent acid water, , without any drugs or lotions, she experienced a complete recovery. Skin is naturally slightly acid, and the use of alkaline water or alkaline (lye) soap products in Australia have created an epidemic of skin conditions, even in children. The two products of Ionization fit naturally into their uses; alkaline water for internal consumption, and acid water for external application.


ON THE FACE

You can expect a dramatic improvement in facial skin conditions using the astringent acid water 3 times a day, especially for teenagers.


ABOUT CANCER
We are very pleased to be associated with Mr David Perkins of Betterwayhealth.com, terminal cancer survivor who says that alkaline water was the platform on which he launched his whole survival program. US physicians now believe that Leaky Gut Syndrome, a condition now attributed as a causative factor in many chronic illnesses and some cancers may be helped substantially by negatively charged, alkaline water.


AT THE DENTIST'S
Many users use the astringent acid water as an effective mouthwash. Graeme Kusabs, Masterpiece user, offered acid water to a friend suffering an ulcerated mouth, and he reported a dramatic improvement overnight. We use acid water daily to get into crevices that cannot be reached by flossing or brushing
