I’ve been drinking ionized water for years and only just recently started using reverse-osmosis-remineralized-water as my source water. I had no subjective knowledge of reverse osmosis prior to about 6 months ago, so I am writing this blog post for others who are in that situation.
There are many reasons one might need to use reverse osmosis. But, there is a serious problem with Reverse osmosis, and that is: it takes too much out of the water, leaving it void of all the healthy minerals and leaving it acidic as a result. RO used to be considered unhealthy, “dead water”. However, now, with the use of the Water Remineralizer, RO water is a healthy source water to use with a water ionizer. With my reverse osmosis system, the RO water before being remineralized is about a pH of 4, and after remineralization it’s about a 9 pH. If you’re not happy with your municipal water, co-op or well water as a healthy enough source for your ionized water, reverse osmosis might be the very best option for you.
Reverse osmosis was originally developed to remove salt from seawater. Which prior to that time, only distillation would do this trick. So if you use a whole house sodium-based water softener, something like a reverse-osmosis-remineralizer-system would be needed for your drinking water.
To give you an idea of just how small of a particle an RO system will filter out, here’s a chart that might help you grasp it:
A 1 micron filter will filter out particles up to 1millionth of a meter [or 1 thousandth of a millimeter] [or the width of a single strand of hair].
A .1 micron filter will filter particles 10 times smaller than 1 micron.
A .01 micron filter will filter particles 100 times smaller than 1 micron.
A reverse osmosis unit will filter particles from 1,000 times up to one million times smaller than 1 micron.
There is another problem with reverse osmosis: that is the time to filter using RO is very slow. Before I got my reverse-osmosis-remineralizer system I could get a gallon jug filled, no problem, for my husband to take to work with him, but now [with the RO system hooked in] the pressure drops too low after about 2 quarts. Then you have to wait for 20 minutes to fill up the rest of the gallon. So, you may not be able to get all the water you want, when you want it with RO.
I’m not really complaining [too much], because…
I LOVE MY NEW REVERSE-OSMOSIS-REMINERALIZER-SYSTEM!
But, for someone wanting ionized water on the run, just keep it in mind that using reverse osmosis as your source water will slow things down, and you may run out of water during heavy-use times.
I did a series of videos, trying to figure things out with my reverse osmosis system – so I could answer my customers’ questions and communicate more accurately about reverse osmosis systems in general. Those videos follow this short section giving brief answers to the main questions I think people need answered. This is a work-in-progress, so I’ll post what I have so far done and learned…but add to it later as I find out more answers to my own questions.
How Much Does an RO System Cut Your Water Flow to the Water Ionizer?
The RO System cuts the pressure to the water ionizer quite a bit, so it is capable of flowing through the water ionizer about 40% slower — almost in half [in my observation]. So, a glass of water takes about twice the time to fill using RO as it would using your regular municipal water.
How Much Water Does a 6-Gallon Reverse Osmosis Tank Hold?
It holds about 4 1/2 gallons of water. The rest is filled with air [pressurized], which is necessary for maintaining the water pressure.
Using a 6-Gallon Tank, How Much Ionized Water in One Pouring Can I Expect to be Able to Get?
After the initial 40 ounces or so of ionized water production, there is a severe lessening in the water pressure to where it slows down so much the water ionizer stops ionizing [or ionizes the water only intermittently].
How Can you Tell How Much Water is in a Full Tank?
Water weighs about 8.35 pounds per gallon. Knowing the weight of the empty tank [11 lbs.] and the weight of the full tank [46 lbs] you can mathematically figure out the amount of water in the “6 gallon” tank. [35/8.35 = 4.2 gallons]
Here I am Weighing the Full RO Tank
Here I am Talking a Little About the Way the RO and Remineralizer Work
Here I Am Showing You How Much RO Water Will Flow through the Water Ionizer Before the Flow Rate Gets Too Slow.
Here I Am Weighing the Tank to See How Many Gallons [Total] Were Run Through the Water Ionizer
The tank weighed 38.8 pounds after pouring close to 2 quarts of alkaline water from the water ionizer [as opposed to 45.8 pounds full]. So it lost 7 pounds, which is the equavalent of about a little more than 3/4 gallon. So…
How much water can you flow through a water ionizer before the pressure drops too much?
Ans.: About 3/4 gallon out of the 4.5 gallons in the tank.
That having been said, the tank will replenish that 3/4 gallon in a pretty short time. So, in about 20 minutes you should be able to get another 2 quarts of ionized water from your water ionizer.
As I stated earlier, I’m still learning. As I refine my skills and knowledge related to reverse osmosis systems I’ll share that knowledge here. I do have a feeling I could pressurize my tank better and that should help in getting more ionized water at a time.
It is becoming more and more popular for well-water users to hook up to a…
WATER IONIZER!
I’ve been amazed to find out how many people all over the US, in every state, are well-water users! There’s an astounding number! I’ve also learned over the years that though wells can give you great water, there can also be some serious problems with well-water too. There’s not just one kind of well, so I’ll try to address all of the things that I’ve come across, in hopes to be able to assure all well-water users that no matter what the problem with your water [if any], we can fix it. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t use a water ionizer with well water. What they are probably referring to is that you shouldn’t use a water ionizer with well water if you don’t know what’s in your well water. And once you know what’s in it, you can fix whatever it is [if there is a problem] and not only can, but should, use a water ionizer with it. A water ionizer will give you lots of extra filtration and protection as long as you pre-filter it correctly.
Giving yourself an excellent and healthy source of ionized drinking water:
Do not just hook a water ionizer into your plumbing [if you're a well-water user] without doing comprehensive testing!
Municipalities, water companies and co-ops test water frequently, and they must report at least once per year the results of those tests. If you belong to a co-op or municipality, you can get a copy of their “water quality report” either online or by calling them. Look on your water bill for the number.
If you own a well, you are probably the only one that tests your well water. And so, you’re responsible to your own health and your family’s to test at least a suggested amount of once per year. Some municipalities will test your water for you if you bring a sample in. However many don’t. The easiest way I know to test your well water if you don’t have someone to do it free for you is to use my Comprehensive Well Water Test Kit . It’s very cheap and easy to do. It’s pretty comprehensive, and is designed for well-water in particular. With this test kit, you can find out instantly how much of each common well-water toxin you have and how this compares with the EPA guidelines. Then you send the test to me: support@alkaline-water-plus.info and request a free engineer’s analysis.
What happens, if you have something in your water that could be unhealthy, is that my water engineers will recommend the exact prefilters you need to fix the problem. Examples of common well-water toxins or problem elements are: arsenic and lead, sulphur and iron, lime and excessive hardness, bacteria, nitrates, and heavy metals. While your regular water ionizer filter gets most of the bad stuff out of your water, it may not get all.
Water ionizers will cause a greater concentration of certain elements in your ionized drinking water [if they're alkaline], and those elements [if they're harmful] are the ones you want to focus on for prefiltration.
Bacteria:
The cheapest way to handle bacteria in your well water is to disinfect it with chlorine. I know — yuck! But, of all the elements, chlorine is the easiest to filter out of your water. The cheapest carbon block [charcoal] filter will filter out the chlorine. Chlorine is unstable, bonds with the carbon in the filter, and thus gets removed from the water. Personally, if it were me, I’d use the chlorine, kill the bacteria, and then hook up a cheap carbon block whole-house filter to get rid of chlorine and sediment prior to going into the house. It will get the chlorine out of all of your water. This would be healthier for bath and shower use. When the water is heated, the chlorine turns into gas and you breathe it in. This kind of inexpensive prefiltering also saves the life of your more expensive water ionizer filter. It is smart to get your sediment out if you have a lot of it. Why have a more expensive filter get all gunked up with sediment when an inexpensive carbon block prefilter can do the job! Word of caution: Do not disinfect your well-water with chloramine [a mixture of chlorine plus amonia]! Once the chlorine has bonded to the amonia, it becomes very stable, and thus greatly reducing any filter’s effectiveness in getting rid of it. Also, don’t use other disinfectants which may not filter out well. Just use chlorine.
If you just can’t stomach putting chlorine into your well water you will need to do something about bacteria and viruses that could get into your well water. I suggest to purchase a UV [ultraviolet} light and use a Bacteria Prefilter. The bacteria prefilter is actually pretty cheap, but the UV light can be pricey. You can get a small UV filter to just use with your drinking water that is pretty inexpensive. They both need about yearly replacement parts. I would personally not use either a bacteria prefilter or UV light all by itself. The .02M or .01 filter is designed to catch the bacteria, because the pores of the prefilter are so small that bacteria are not supposed to be able to get through. But I'd wonder about this. The Jupiter water ionizers have a .01M filter, and the Jupiter engineers still say that the water should be treated before putting it through the ionizer.
Hydrogen Sulfides:
This is a poisonous sulfer toxin that can enter a well system unpredictably. You may have no sign of it one day and after a heavy rain all of a sudden have it in your well water! The sign for this is a smell of "rotten eggs". The only way right at this time to get rid of this is a special sulphur prefilter, which is inexpensive, but needs to be replaced about yearly.
Iron: This is a metal that in large amounts can harm your water ionizer. It's probably not great for you either in its inorganic form. The signs for it is a yellow color to your water. It's caused by old cast-iron pipes or other iron things rusting and leaching into your water. Usually you find this situation in older communities or buildings with older plumbing systems that haven't been renovated, but you can find it in wells. You can get an Iron Prefilter for fairly cheaply and the iron and sulphur are filtered out with the same prefilter.
Sand and Sediment: Your ionizer filters will filter out sand and sediment, but these things can clog up your water ionizer filter and cause it to become less effective prematurely. If your source water has a lot of sand or sediment in it, you are wise to get a sediment or carbon block prefilter. Or there is a small device, called a sand catcher, that you can put into your water line. This has to be emptied constantly though, so that's a hassle.
Lead: This is found in older homes and communities and is a source of "lead poisoning" so needs to be handled for health reasons, but it can be found in wells too. Lead could harm you of course, but it can also harm your water ionizer by interfering with the electrolysis [due to the fact that it's a magnetic metal]. If you have lead in your source water, you should use the Fluoride/Lead/Arsenic prefilter, which is inexpensive.
Heavy Metals: If you have radium in your water or other heavy metals, you can purchase a Heavy Metal prefilter for a fairly inexpensive price.
Is Your Water too Hard? If you don’t want to filter out the calcium in your source water, but it’s a little too hard and is potentially damaging your water ionizer [or reducing the pH/ORP] due to scaling, then the best thing you can use is an Elimination of Scaling Device. Second to that I suggest the Ionizer Armor. Sometimes water can be so hard that you need a whole house softener. I advise you not to get the sodium or potasium based softeners. These make the water unhealthy for you to drink and you can’t use source-water that has an excess of sodium or potasium with your water ionizer. Both sodium and potasium are electrical conductors, and an excess of these would interfere with the electronics of ionization. This could cause your water ionizer to break down prematurely. They are also not good for the environment either. Too much sodium and potasium dumped into sewer pipes finds its way to rivers and streams and overloads them with sodium and potasium…upsetting the balance of nature. Fresh-water fish do not want salt!
If you need to soften the water in your whole house, the best thing you can do for your health, the water ionizer, and the environment is to get an all-natural whole house softener that doesn’t use sodium or potasium, such as the Water Dove Whole House Softener.
If you don’t use a whole-house softener [but have excessively hard water or excessive TDS] I suggest the Chanson Nano-Filtration System or Reverse Osmosis [see below].
If you do use a whole-house sodium-based or potasium-based water softener, I suggest the Chanson Nano-Filtration System or Reverse Osmosis [see below].
Too many prefilters needed? I offer three “comprehensive filtering systems” for well-water users. These are the most effective filtering methods for well-water users, because they offer complete filtration of everything listed above. These systems are described in the next section. The first two, Reverse osmosis and nano-filtration, are the systems I suggest for people who have excessive water hardness, excessive TDS, and/or are using a whole-house sodium-based water softener. If you are a well-water user and your water is very hard or has excessively high TDS, my #1 recommendation to you is the Chanson Nano-Filtration System [see below], because it’s easier, allows for a better water flow, has no complications to worry about, takes up less space, and produces better-tasting water (no rubber bladder, so no rubber taste). If you use well water, but don’t have problems with water hardness or TDS, then the best filtration system for you would be the Chanson Ultra Filtration, described below.
The Ultimate Water Ionizer Comprehensive Filtration Systems for Well-Water Users:
#1 Chanson Nano Filtration: [This is what I now consider to be the best, most practical filtration to use with people who are using "softened" water, are using well-water, are on kidney dialysis, who have Aids, other illnesses or just people who want to get the very best, finest filtration of the water. There are no great complications with this system as there are with RO [reverse osmosis]. The Nano-Filtration System will remove up to 99.9% contaminants, it removes salt and 100% of germs and viruses, but will allow some healthy disolved minerals to pass through, which is a good thing. Because it removes salt, it can be used with a whole-house sodium or potasium based water softener. It has almost as fine of a filtration as RO, but you probably won’t need a remineralizer. http://www.alkalinewaterplus.com/nano $655. [yearly replacement costs averages to about $150.]
Reverse Osmosis: If you really want to get everything out of your water and start fresh with only the right organic plant-source minerals and trace minerals for perfect water ionization, then I recommend the Reverse-Osmosis-with-Remineralizer Systemthat was designed by IonLife water experts especially for use with water ionizers. It’s inexpensive and includes the tank and everything you need! [RO is the best filtration, however there are complications with this: slower water flow, lower water pressure, harder to install, more maintenance, might need a plumber and you will NEED to remineralize it before it's healthy to drink.] Reverse osmosis also involves using a rubber bladder, so there might be a rubbery taste to the water. RO will remove up to 99.9% contaminants, it also removes salt and 100% of germs and viruses. Because it removes salt, it can be used with a whole-house sodium or potasium based water softener. http://www.alkalinewaterplus.com/product/RO-System $379.99 [yearly replacement costs averages to about $125.]
Chanson Ultra Filtration: [This is what I now consider to be the 3rd best, practical filtration to use with people who are on kidney dialysis, who have Aids or other illnesses, or are using well-water which is not excessively hard. There are no great complications with this system as there are with RO. The Ultra-Filtration System will remove up to 97% contaminants and over 99% of germs and viruses. It has a .01M filtration and is designed in such a way as to backwash itself, so you will not experience the clogging associated with other .01 filters. http://www.alkalinewaterplus.com/product/Ultra-Filter-System $285.
What do water ionizer prefilters look like and how do you install them?
In this video I explain and demonstrate the water ionizer prefilter. Water ionizer prefilters can be found on my Other Products page. Most people don't realize that water ionizer prefilters can be benefitial to your health, and your water ionizer's health. This demonstration shows you an up-close look at a single housing with a prefilter inside. Housings for prefilters come single, double and triple for convenience and ease of use. Here's the video:
Scammers are Making the Enagic SD 501 Water Ionizer Harder for MLMers to Sell!
I knew there was a reason I didn’t like MLM [multi-level-marketing] and this is one reason why:
People pay a lot for the Enagic SD 501, and many of those people are trusting that they can at least recoup some of their money by selling their friends and associates a water ionizer, thus helping their friends and at the same time getting a commission on the sale. The way Enagic works is that you are at different levels, according to how many water ionizers you have sold.
1A: If you’ve personally sold 1 or 2, you make $285. for each sale, plus you get about that much from each of your down-line to the 8th level deep.
2A: If you’ve personally sold 3 or more, you make $570. for each sale, plus you get $285 – $570 from each of your down-line to the 8th level deep.
3A: If you’ve personally sold 11 or more, you make $855. for each sale, plus you get $285 -$855 from each of your down-line to the 8th level deep.
4A: If you’ve personally sold 21 or more, you make $1140. for each sale, plus you get $285 -$1140 from each of your down-line to the 8th level deep..
5A: If you’ve personally sold 51 or more, you make $1425. for each sale, plus you get $285 -$1425 from each of your down-line to the 8th level deep..
6A: If you’ve personally sold 101 or more, you make $1710. for each sale, plus you get $285 -$1710 from each of your down-line to the 8th level deep..
Here’s what happens with the Ebay scammers. They sell Enagic Kangen water Ionizers on Ebay for under the market value, getting no or little commission [giving it to the customer]. Then as they rise in “level” they make more money per sale, so offer greater and greater discounts [knocking out all competition]. As you can see, above, they can rise to great levels and make such great commissions that even though they’re greatly undercutting all of the competition they’re still making a good profit.
At the time of this writing there are a few people doing this. Here’s a link to a real-time listing where this seller is offering the Enagic Leveluk SD 501 Kangen Water Ionizer for $3099.99. http://shop.ebay.com/akawaid/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=50 He’s clearly giving the buyer about a $900.00 discount. If he is at level 6A, above, then he is still making $800.00 on the sale! If at the time you read this post, this link doesn’t work, I’m sure you can find some other scammer doing the same thing.
Why do I say he’s a scammer? The reason is, he’s seeking to take unfair advantage of the thousands of people who follow the MLM rules. The success of any MLM depends on a unique product, that people need, that people will want to tell their friends about, and that has company rules, commissions and prices which are fair and followed. What he’s doing is violating the rules of his MLM agreement, but he’s not revealing his distributor name or ID on Ebay, so he’s getting away with it.
Many people just want to get a good water ionizer, and they’ve heard this is a good one. Since a good water ionizer will probably last 20 – 30 years the person might not particularly worried that this guy’s water ionizer isn’t coming with a warranty. They’ve heard that if something goes wrong with their water ionizer, then it’s usually no more expensive to fix than having a repairman for any other house-hold appliance [often cheaper], so they’re really not worried. But they’re trying to save money, and they don’t want to buy-into the MLM of Enagic. This all leads the person to want to buy from this guy on Ebay. Not everyone will do this, but plenty of people will. Money does talk.
Can the Enagic Sales Scam be Eliminated?
I doubt that the undercutting of authorized sales prices set by the Enagic Company will be stopped. It’s very hard to catch everyone who violates the rules on the internet. If you caught one guy, another 3 might pop up and take his place. That’s probably one reason why Enagic stays away from internet sales. However, I do believe that the company, Enagic, has a duty and responsibility to do everything they can to find these scammers on Ebay or other selling sites, who are trying to take unfair advantage of honest people who are following the MLM guidelines set.
In the meantime, if you’re reading this and wondering if you should buy from that guy on Ebay for a $900.00 discount…No. You souldn’t. The Enagic Kangen water ionizer gets half of its value from the MLM aspect. Without the potential of earning some or all of your money back, the $3,000. discounted price just simply isn’t a good deal. The Enagic LeveLuk SD501 is a good water ionizer, but it under-performs in comparison to the KYK, Melody, Tyent and the Athena. Plus, without the warranty, you have no way of being assured at all.
Water ionizers are now being certified as “medical devices” in Canada. So far the Jupiter, and now Chanson water ionizers are officially certified medical devices in Canada. This is great news! Previously Oriental countries [where water ionizers were invented and have been used and tested for over 40 years] were the only countries that certified water ionizers as medical devices. It means that perhaps soon the United States may jump on board, and M.D.’s may start writing prescriptions as they now can do in Canada. This would help a lot of people to be able to take the tax deduction or even have their insurance company pay for part of the purchase!
It makes sense for doctors to prescribe preventative things like water ionizers for their patients, although the drug companies might not like it, because they really do help people with their health! But of course doctors want proof. That is understandable. I offer lots of proof throughout my website [e.g., check out my Research Videos button above], but here’s just a little bit of great objective proof:
The picture above is an example of Ronnie Ruiz, whose blood was photographed by a nutritional microscopist over 18 months ago. Ronnie’s blood was clearly acidic. It was in a very unhealthy state. The spikes you see in some of the blood cells mean these blood cells are becoming oxidized and there is possibly high cholesterol. The irregularly shaped blood cells are an indication of disease or unhealthy condition in the body. The cells that look like they have a little knob on the end are yeast cells [not a good thing to be in your blood], the blood cells that have shiny white spots in them is a sigh of iron or other nutrient deficiency [i.e., the blood cells are thinning]. The crystals that look like elongated triangles are solidified uric acid. One way our body protects us from acid is to solidify it. If left go very long, these uric acid crystals would find their way to the joints and cause pain [i.e. arthritis].
After drinking alkaline ionized water for 18 months Ronnie’s blood changed dramatically! Look at how round they are, and how evenly shaped! They’re not irregularly sized or shaped for the most part, and there’s no white spots in the middles. There’s no yeast and no signs of nutritional deficiencies or oxidation happening to the cells.
The problems that Ronnie had before drinking alkaline ionized water were: over acidity of body, and oxidation of cells. These are very common problems that probably affect almost everyone in the US. Our diet and lifestyle makes us particularly vulnerable to the problems of oxidation and over-acidity of our bodies. Buying a water ionizer could someday be considered by you as the best thing you ever did! Don’t wait until it’s too late! I’ve had almost 18 years of experience drinking ionized water; please believe me, it’s not natural to be sick!
The following video is a pretty good summary of what the causes and signs of an acidic body. Of course if you have any of these signs, you should start drinking ionized water [about a gallon per day].
Here is a just-posted video interview with Dr. Robert Young, author of pH Miracle books and a 30-year water ionizer researcher/guro, with Chanson Water Ionizer USA owner, Ronnie Ruiz.
Dr. Young used to only endorse the Jupiter water ionizers, mainly the Jupiter Melody. This is because he tested all of the water ionizers and felt that the Jupiter Melody gave you the best “water ionization for your buck”. He liked the way most of the Jupiter models were made [from the Melody water ionizer on up], and he liked their intenal cleaning systems [which are very important].
Dr. Young conducts research on water ionizers and their uses & effectiveness, so that he can help his clients. He does a lot of work with live blood analysis and he puts his clients on alkaline diets. Since he is considered by many to be a top water ionizer guru, his endorsement of a water ionizer is significant.
Now, since Dr. Young has seen and tested the Chanson Miracle water ionizer, he is impressed with this water ionizer’s ability to ionize water well, get an extremely high pH [of about 12 with his high-mineral source water], get an extremely low pH [of under 2 with his high-mineral source water], get an extremely high/low ORP [above +1000/below -1000], he is convinced that the Chanson Miracle water ionizer is a MIRACLE WATER IONIZER!
A week ago Ronnie went to visit the Chanson factory in Taiwan. Here’s the video:
What really impressed Ronnie at the factory was they test every single feature of every single chanson water ionizer before it leaves the factory! They even test the pH and ORP to make sure that each water is performing at the exact level that it should. Correction Note: Ronnie states in this video that all other, or most or many water ionizer companies put calcium sulphite in their water filters. Actually the only major or popular [in the US] water ionizer filters that I know of with calcium sulphite [which is added as a preservative] in them are: Life water ionizers, Bion-tech, and Enagic water ionizers.
Here’s another video with Ronnie in Taiwan. He’s exploring the many stores in Taiwan where Chanson water ionizers [and other water ionizers] are sold. You can see that Chanson is a main water ionizer leader in Taiwan [where water ionizers are as common as toasters -- it seems]. Fifty percent of people in Japan and 40% of people in Korea have their own water ionizers.
Here’s another video Ronnie did, as a presentation of Chanson Water Ionizers at the Navel Expo. I’m including it here, because it’s a great video to watch to learn some basics about ionized water.
Heart Disease is the #1 killer in the US! It kills more than 2,500 people per day [75,000/month!]
Why do people get heart disease? Heart disease is caused by atherosclerosis [plaque] lining the walls of the blood vessles. Your blood vessel system is huge! If you stretch your blood vessels out, it would be 100,000 miles long! It’s about the most important system in your body, because it delivers nutrients to every cell of your body and removes wastes from them as well.
Anyone could develop this awful, but common, disease. So pay attention, because there’s good news!
Dr. Louis Lgnarro (Nobel Prize Winner, 1998, and author of No More Heart Disease) has discovered that heart disease is preventable, curable and reversable without drugs or surgery!
According to Dr. Louis Lgnarro, in his NOBEL-PRIZE-WINNING WORK and book, No More Heart Disease, heart disease is preventable and curable, and does not require drugs or surgery. This is BIG NEWS! The #1 killer in the US is CURABLE and PREVENTABLE without drugs or surgery!
Here’s part of what Dr. Lgnarro learned: the interior of your blood vessel walls are lined with a single-layer of cells, whose job it is to release nitric-oxide [a gas] when needed into your blood vessel wall. Nitric-oxide signals the blood vessel to relax and open up and allow more blood to flow through. Nitric oxide also keeps the lining of your blood-vessel walls slick, so that nothing will stick to them. When the N-O is not in sufficient quantities, your blood vessels start becoming rough and accumulate plaque. Plaque builds up and becomes a danger to your health and life. Its presence in your blood vessels is called “heart disease”.
Dr. Lgnarro also has discovered the need for a natural amino acid, l-arginine!
The common amino acid, called l-arginine, is the most important nutrient to bring the blood-vessel cells, so that they can transform that into nitric-oxide. Nitric-oxide is a gas, and so it’s not something that you can consume directly. Dr. Lgnarro discovered, though, that your blood cells will make this gas if they are supplied with the proper nutrients to do that. It makes sense that you must bring the proper nutrition to the blood vessel walls, so those cells in the inner lining of the blood vessel walls will produce nitric oxide. According to their research, the most important nutrient for the health of your blood vessels is l-arginine. You can buy this at your health food store or even at WalMart, however make sure it’s in the proper amount [about 5,000 mg./5 Grams per day]. It is inexpensive.
Dr. Louis Lgnarro also states that “Antioxidants are very important to incorporate into your diet”.
Dr. Lgnarro advises that if the cells of your blood-vessels are damaged by oxygenation [free-radicals] they won’t be able to make nitric-oxide. Therefore you should take care of your blood-vessel walls. You need ample antioxidants to fight the free radical damage that oxidation causes.
How Can Water Ionizers Help?
Shortly after drinking ionized water, the blood delivers a large supply of anti-oxidants to your cells! These are bio-available, natural, easily absorbed, don’t require digestion, and practically free antioxidants!
If you drink alkaline ionized water all day long, you will be providing your cells with a large amount of anti-oxidants all the time. Anti-oxidants are able to repair the damage caused by free radicals [oxidation/rotting], but more importantly, a constant supply of anti-oxidants can prevent further oxidation damage to your cells. If you can prevent and repair the damage of oxidation at the cellular level before it causes a disease you are saving untold amounts of trouble for your body and money, time, worry, and so on! This is where your “ounce of prevention” comes in. Also, if you can prevent oxidation from happening inside of the blood vessels, themselves, then you can keep your cardiovascular system healthy you’ll live a longer and healthier life. It is now proven by Dr. Lgnarro’s work and the work of other researchers in the field of cardiovascular disease prevention that anti-oxidants play an extremely important role in keeping your blood vessels healthy and performing their natural functions [which include warding off plaque].
A water ionizer produces water that is full of natural, absorb-able antioxidants.
The ionized water you drink [with the perfect alkalinity, mini-clustered, and full of anti oxidizing capabilities -- very low negative-ORP] will enter your mouth, pass right through your stomach [because there are no calories there is no digestion stimulated], then right into your small intestines, where it will be absorbed into your blood with most of the antioxidant capabilities still intact. This all happens within about 2 – 20 minutes after drinking that ionized water.
Once in your blood, within a very short time [seconds/minutes] that ionized water is attacking free radicals throughout your body, keeping your body from becoming oxidized [rotted] and diseased.
Oxidation in your blood vessels, according to Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Louis Lgnarro [first set of videos, below], is responsible for reducing or curtailing your body’s natural release of N-O [Nitric Oxide]. When the very thin lining of your blood vessels become damaged through oxidation, they cease to be able to do their functions properly. Every cell has functions, and the lining of your blood vessels have as one of their functions to produce nitric-oxide. When the N-O is not in sufficient quantities, that’s when your blood vessels start becoming rough and accumulate plaque.
Water Ionizers Also Give You More Energy, So You Can Get the Exercise You Need to Stay Healthy!
In addition to l-arginine and anti-oxidants, Dr. Lgnarro is convinced of the importance of exercise. He states that “Exercise is the most important way in which your body makes nitric-oxide. So it is important to incorporate at least a mild exercise program in your life.”
Dr. Lgnarro’s Videos:
Much of Dr. Lgnarro’s findings have been buried by the drug companies, especially the news about being able to cure heart disease without using a drug.
However this news will spread by ordinary people, because the story is surely substantiated. This kind of great news will spread for sure. What better use for the internet than to spread good news to people who want useful information.
Here’s a bit of trivia about drug companies: The Fortune 500 is composed of the 500 top-earning companies in the world. The combined profits of the top 10 drug companies are greater than the combined profits of the other 490 companies in the Fortune 500!
Here’s another bit of drug company trivia: The 4th leading cause of death in the US is from adverse drug reactions!
Further Study: Dr. Joe Pendergast…
Dr. Joe is Board Certified in Internal Medicine as well as Endocrinology and Metabolism and founder of Pacific Medical Research Foundation. He has been working with Dr. Lgnarro’s theories in his practice, and for the past 16 years not one of his 5,000 patients has needed surgery. Not one has been admitted to the hospital for any reason. Prior to this time he was very unhealthy himself and had referred many, many patients to the hospital, usually for some kind of cardio-vascular procedure or surgery. He uses the discoveries of Dr. Lgnarro and also does his own research into natural prevention and healing methodology.
How does a water ionizer help people’s blood & health? It provides cells with cleaner, wetter, antioxidant-rich, mineral-rich, alkaline water. Alkaline ionized water can actually reverse the fast-aging and disease-ridden spiral of people who suffer from acidic bodies [which is almost everyone in the USA].
Getting Sick is Not Normal! I used to think allergies were a ”normal” condition, based on genetics and environment, and that colds were due to spreading viruses. Since I’ve been drinking ionized water for over 17 years I have a complete new understanding of what “normal” is. For me, normal is: being healthy, full of energy, and not ever getting sick [even with viruses spreading all around]. And, being this way every day, not just most of the time. Please believe me… it’s not natural to be sick! Allergies and illness can be looked upon as a sign that change is needed. So many people wait till they get cancer and other diseases before they take the time and energy to make a change! It is inevitable that you will get worse diseases if you don’t change what you’re doing that’s giving you allergies and colds. Don’t wait till it’s practically too late!
Change your water; change your life! Considering that such a large percent of your body is water, drinking ionized water instead of junk is completely scientific and logical. In my 17+ years of experience, I can say with complete certainty that it’s the most effective, pleasant and, in the long run, inexpensive change that anyone can do right now. If you decide it’s important enough, you’ll find a way.
Do You Want to Save the Maximum Amount of Money on a Water Ionizer…But Not Sacrifice Quality?
Here’s How:
Every water ionizer company has returns, for whatever reason, from time to time. When a water ionizer gets returned [during the initial trial period] it is refurbished, cleaned, fitted with new filters, and now that it’s like-new, it’s sold at a greatly reduced price [usually $200.00 off the retail...and sometimes lower]! Since these are refurbished completely by the manufacturer’s technical servicing departments and made to be like-new, they are sold with the full manufacturer’s warranty!
These like-new water ionizers are no compromize of quality. You are covered with all the same warranties as a brand new water ionizer. You are entitled to the same service and same quality in every way as a brand new water ionizer. So, if you’re looking for the very best bargain possible for a water ionizer, this would be it!
Like-new water ionizers usually get snatched up so quickly that I can’t even post them individually on this page. The best way to get one is to go to the “Store” button and click on the product page for the water ionizer of your choice and look for the link to order it. That puts you on the list for the next like-new refurbished water ionizer of that brand that comes available. You can check availability by either emailing or calling me as well. Hint: These go fast, so if one is available, be ready to buy right away.
Before you buy your water ionizer, you might want to see how its filter-changing steps are, compared with the other water ionizers. I’ve provided you with a water ionizer filter comparison video followed by some commentaries below.
This video shows how to remove and replace…
filters from the Tyent, KYK and Jupiter water ionizers.
Some Water Ionizer Filter Insights:
The easiest filter to replace was the Jupiter. You just pop it in and out.
The next easy one down would be the Tyent. You just unscrew/screw it. Although it takes a little coordination to get it started.
I didn’t show the Chanson in this video, but I did in an earlier blog post. It’s very similar to the Tyent in that it screws/unscrews.
The KYK is the most complicated. You need to carefully remove the computer chip from the top of the filter. Be careful, because the entire operation of the KYK will go awry if the filter chip isn’t reading correctly. You’ll just get an error message until you fix the problem.
Once the chip is out, turn the kyk 1/4 turn and then wiggle and pull till it’s out.
But watch out for the water. The filter is in upside-down and so water pours out as you are removing the filter. It would help to do this in or over the sink.
Water Ionizer Filters: There are Other Differences
I’ve included links to the information pages for each of the water ionizers’ above filter pages. There are differences in cost and in what the filters will filter out.
Athena Water Ionizer: The first filter [on the left] is usually a sediment filter: the Athena #1 Sediment Filter [49.95], and the right filter is either the Biostone .01 [89.] filter or the Biostone Plus [79.]. If you have a municipal water company supply and treat your water, then choose the Biostone Plus. If you use well-water, use the Biostone .01. I’ve seen people use two Biostone Plus filters. This would be for those people doubly concerned with chloramine and fluoride in their water. The Biostone Plus is the only filter to my knowledge that is specifically designed to filter out chloramine*. So this is definitely a “PLUS” for that filter!
*[Chlorine is an unstable element and because of that is very easy to filter out of water -- it bonds with the carbon in the cheap carbon-block filters and out it goes. Chloramine, on the other hand, is a stable compound of chlorine plus amonia (yuck!), and because of its stability it is difficult to filter out and special filter media must be used to get rid of it. Chloramine is a fairly recent compound being used by water treatment companies, and because it's far cheaper to use than chlorine...most municipalities these days are using it. Call the number on your water bill and ask them if they treat your water with chlorine...or look it up online by typing "water quality report" and your city/state [most municipalities post their water quality reports online now).]
KYK Water Ionizer: The KYK filter set costs $129.50 and filters out fluoride, heavy metals, chlorine, and more.
Tyent Water Ionizer: The Tyent filter set costs $85.00 and filters out chlorine, heavy metals and more.
