Alkaline Water News [Water Wellness]

Research shows that the consumption of alkaline ionized water reverses the acidity in the body tissues and organs which leads to disease and as such leads to reverse-aging. It is a well-known fact that diseased organs are acidic. Therefore, it follows that to reverse the acidity of the organs and tissues in the body could reverse the course of diseases.

 Dr. Otto Warberg (Nobel Prize Winner, 1932) stated that “Cancer is caused by the lack of oxygen and the fermentation of sugars.” This is due to a low pH acidic environment.

Why does ionized water help the overall health of both animals and humans? There are several reasons:

• Alkaline ionized water is alkaline (obviously) and therefore enters more alkalinity into the body cells, tissues and organs. This allows the buffering effect to take place. This further allows toxins (acids) to leave the cells, tissues, and organs and be flushed out of the body. Thus, alkaline ionized water produces in the body a healthy state of slightly alkaline pH, and research shows that fungus, cancer and other disease pathogens do not thrive in an alkaline state, they do well in an acidic state.
• Alkaline ionized water, being water (and not having calories), does not require digestion, and thus bypasses the digestive system and goes straight to the cells, tissues and organs needing hydration. An example of this: If a person who is constipated is directed to drink 16 to 32 ounces of alkaline ionized water and wait about 20 minutes, they will see a dramatic effect in hydrating the tissues in the rectum which will in turn allow the elimination process to occur. 
• Alkaline Ionized water is reduced in cluster size to about half the size of what comes out of your tap. This contributes to the cells, tissues and organs ability to absorb that water and thus achieve the hydration needed to reverse the diseased condition.
• Alkaline ionized water is run through a sophisticated filter which removes the harmful chemicals and substances from the water, but allows the good minerals (such as calcium and magnesium) to pass through.
• Alkaline ionized water produced by a water ionizer which is certified (such as the Jupiter Melody, Enagic SD501 [Kangen Water], Tyent, Life, Athena, Delphi, KYK, or Chansen) will reduce the ORP of the water and thus your water will have an anti-oxidant effect in the body (in such a way as orange juice does).
• Alkaline ionized water has been reported as having a more pleasant taste and contributing to a refreshed feeling after drinking. Thus this water is more likely to be enjoyed by consumers.
• Alkaline ionized water is shown to be far superior to any other water, especially tap, reverse osmosis, or bottled waters. The alkaline ionized water is exclusively reported as having the qualities listed here, while other waters do not.

How do you Compare Water Ionizers?

The real way to compare water ionizers is not spouting credentials or claims; it’s testing the water. That’s what I’ve done and will share with you here. I took the two water ionizers I’m most familiar with personally (The Jupiter Melody and the Enagic LeveLuk SD501), and added in the IonWays Athena (simply because in the Silver State Laboratory scientific and non-biased tests the Athena tested the best), and I drew up a large number of comparisons. I created a chart and four accompanying videos so that we would leave no stone unturned. Here is the link to that research:  http://www.health-e-water.com/water-ionizers-compared-3.html 

What was the Outcome?

I hesitate to say, because I think more research needs to be done. I invite more non-biased water ionizer fans or companies to do more testing. I’m constantly looking for non-biased testing, but it’s hard to come by. Most people have an agenda. But I will tell you tentatively, that I totally stand behind the Melody, a full 100% as being right up there in quality of water with the more expensive brands. This is amazing to me, because it’s only $1,375.00 [only 65% of the cost of the Athena (which so far shows up as being the best quality water)] and about 1/3 the cost of the Enagic [which tested about equal to the Melody]. You can also choose to install it under the sink with a $129.00 kit, I think that some will like that possibility.

Here’s another Food for Thought.

You might be thinking that research will eventually come up with better designs as time goes on. Let’s say five years from now. I’m sure that’s correct. That having been said, do not wait to get your water ionizer. No new design in the future will change the fact that these three water ionizers are all wonderful and create fantastically healthy water! Your acidic body, which is also full of free-radicals, is in need of help right now, before you start showing signs of illness or disease. If five years down the line you want to upgrade to a newer model, you still would have only paid between 50 cents and $2.00 [depending on which ionizer you buy] per day for all the healthy ionized water you and your family could drink! That’s a great bargain! It’s also smart-thinking to plan ahead to add years onto the life and health of yourself and family. And think of it this way, when the time comes to upgrade, you can give the older water ionizer to someone in your family who needs it! That’s what we did when we upgraded! What a great gift!

Will Enagic Re-design Their ionizers?

Absolutely! Without a doubt! They have to. First of all, honestly right now it’s a little annoying when you have to wait for your ionizer to clean itself. That kind of hassel can be easily solved with a re-design. Another thing, the extremely large plates cause the machine to require more electricity, but don’t cause better water (per my testing). As a matter of fact, the Emco Tech people may have a point when they say that in reverse the larger electric flow puts more wear and tear on the plates and so is a poor design [kind of like older tv's, computers, etc. where the better tech is the smaller tech.] Jupiter states that the mesh plates are better, because they make it possible to increase the surface area without increasing the plate size.  Only time will tell on these theories. The Enagic filters are also pretty bare-basic and in time I bet the demand will require them to be upgraded too. 

What If Money is No Object?

Then in that case, right now anyway, I’d recommend the Athena. This ionizer has state-of-the-art self cleaning and dual filtration systems and on top of that gets the best quality water per the non-biased scientific research testing that was done on several water ionizers by Silver State Laboratories. Even though The Athena is only about half the price of the Enagic, and you don’t care how much you spend, I still wouldn’t recommend the more expensive one, the Enagic, over the Athena. Not unless the Enagic Co. does some re-designing and starts getting some better test results. Of course for those who only want to see the faucet, the Delphi (at $2,645.00) is made by the same company and though I haven’t tested it, I could guess it’s water quality is as good as its sister-model, the Athena (at $2,095.00).

What are the Company Backgrounds?

The Enagic Company grew out of a specialty trade company (branch of Sony) and began making water ionizers in 1988. It developed the water ionizer it now uses in its US trade, the Enagic LeveLuk SD501, in Sept. of 2004.

The Emco Tech Company at that time was (and still is) the largest US distributor of water ionizers, having its origin in Korea in 1970 as Emco Tech and joined with research company Jupiter Dong Yang Science Co., Ltd. [research/manufacturing facility] in Japan in 1982. The facility in Japan is where they currently have 20 PHDs on staff and are continually researching, testing and ensuring the state-of-the-art in their water ionizers parts and designs.

Both companies have multitudes of certificates and awards, and both have their water ionizers in hospitals and clinics and are certified to manufacture quality medical equipment. The reason I include this information is to establish the validity and credentials of both companies and all three water ionizers.

Hope this helps!

Alkaline Water (3 or 4 levels of alkalinity)

Purified Water (not ionized, neutral pH, but filtered) 

Acidic Water (which usually comes out of the bottom hose or spout unless you have set your ionizer to the acid setting

 Alkaline Water is for drinking [It does amazing things to improve the healthiness of your water]

• Improves taste
• Filters chemicals & toxins from water far better than ordinary filters
• Splits large water clusters in half, making them smaller and more easily absorbable by your body. So, the water you drink will hydrate your cells far better than any other water can do.
• Boosts the pH of your drinking water to allow it to help your body actually reverse the age-accelerating, disease-generating effects of the acidic condition of your body. [With most people, many wastes sit in the cells for long periods or forever waiting to be eliminated. The longer acid wastes stay in the cells the greater the chances of diseases or mutations (cancers).  Research shows that diseases thrive in an acid environment. The modern fast-food diets we eat, sodas we drink, and stressful lifestyles we live only make that acid environment inside our bodies worse over time. To combat this, drinking alkaline water helps to buffer this acidity and neutralize our bodies, allowing our cells to be cleansed...leading to a longer, healthier life potential and more energy on a daily basis.]
• Detoxifies your body at a cellular level (gets toxins out)
• Transforms water’s ORP (oxygen reduction potential), and so it becomes an antioxidant. So instead of damaging your cells in the oxidation process, this water will help your cells fight off free-radicals. The quality of “negative ORP” of the water is variable from ionizer to ionizer. To ensure you are purchasing the ionizer with the best antioxidant potential for you, call me at 1-888-420-1420. The best water ionizers will provide you with absorbable and body-friendly anti-oxidants. Antioxidants are important in the prevention of diseases, such as cancer.
• Helps the body achieve and maintain its optimum weight, by allowing all the fat-cell build-up of waste storage to finally be released. And so allowing you to lose your fat.
• Helps the arteries in the same way as the fat cells.
• Helps the bowels to become cleansed and hydrated, which is the main reason they would become diseased in the first place. So you’re getting at the source of trouble, and eliminating it (literally) that way, before that trouble starts killing you. 

·        Instructions: Start out at the lowest setting for alkalinity. Drink this for at least 3 days. Your body may go into what’s called a detoxification-phase (detox), because it has a lot of acidic wastes (toxic) which are now able to release from your cells. If you take it kind of slow at first, you’ll feel less discomfort due to this detoxification process. Some symptoms of detoxification are: headaches, pimples, aching in the lower back (kidney) area. Some people never feel these detox symptoms. So if you don’t feel any negative effects after 3 days, then move up to the next higher level of alkalinity.  Or, if you had symptoms, but they’re now subsided, move up to the next level. There’s no need to rush though. Once you reach about the 3^rd level, stop moving up. That’s probably the best level to continue drinking your alkaline ionized water. However, if you want to try a higher level, that’ fine. If you like the taste, and you don’t feel any negative effects from it after about 3 days, then it’s probably the right level for you.

How Much Water Should You Drink Per Day?

If you are starting out healthy, with no known health condition, you should drink at least 1 ounce of ionized water times half your body weight. That would mean, if you weighed 150 lbs, you’d drink 70 ounces per day of ionized water or more.

However, if you have a health concern or condition it is suggested that you drink a minimum of one gallon of ionized water per day. More is fine too.  Purified Water is for Taking Medication

If you need to take prescription medicine, it is advised to drink only purified water for a 20-minute period just before and after taking your medication. This ensures that the pH level of the water will not interfere with the intended effects of the medication.

Acid Water is for Cleaning, Skin-Care and Beauty

The water that comes out of the bottom hose is acidic. If you save that water, you can use it to do many wonderful things for yourself.

·        Use at a pH of about 2.5 for its antiseptic value (put your ionizer on the strong acid water setting and use this water  as an antiseptic, mouth-wash, or cleaner). You can put it in a spray-bottle for convenient use in the kitchen. With this water you can achieve a nice astringent value without using toxic chemicals, so it’s great for the environment and for the safety of your children.

·        Beauty-Water (put your ionizer on the 3^rd level of alkalinity and save the water that comes out of the bottom hose to use for rinsing and soaking your hair after washing, rinsing your face and sensitive skin areas regularly without need for added soaps)

·        Clean (soak for 3-5 min.) vegetables with it to kill the germs without harming the healthiness of the vegetables. Then soak your vegetables in the strongest setting you can get of alkaline water for another 5-10 min. What this does is dissolve the pesticides from the surface of your vegetables. Farmers are using pesticides today that are oily, because the oily pesticides don’t wash off easily in the rain. However, this makes them also not easy to wash off in your sink! Now you can counteract that by soaking your non-organic vegetables in the strong alkaline water. The water will turn a brownish color. That’s the dirt and pesticides becoming released. After 10 minutes, Pour that water out and soak once more in some fresh alkaline water for another minute or so, and you’re ready to go.

·        Pimples, boils, infections or other skin eruptions use at the medium to  strongest acidic setting and soak the infected area for 20-minute periods 2 to 3 times per day or more if desired until healed. If the area gets and stays red, reduce the acidity-level.

·        Sore throats: You probably won’t be getting sore throats now that you’re drinking alkaline ionized water, however if you do, try gargling with strong acidic water several times per day and see if that helps.

 Strong Alkaline Water is Also Used for Cleaning [It’s a greese-cutter]

·        As stated, above, the strong alkaline water is used to remove pesticides from your vegetables.

·        You can pour 2 – 4 gallons of it in with your laundry and not need to use detergent.

·        You can use for cleaning greasy areas, like floors, stoves and countertops.

 What Are People Saying About Alkaline Ionized Water?

Imagine the fish that live in this beautiful pool of water. They are happy and healthy, because they are living in a healthy pool of water that’s constantly being cleaned and refreshed. Now think of the cells in your body. Your body is over 70% water. That literally means your cells are being bathed in water. If you drink nice, filtered, fresh alkaline ionized water every day, it’s like giving your cells the healthy advantage that the fish that live in this pool of water have. If you’ve ever cared for fish in a fish tank or bowl, you’ll know how sensitive the fish are to unclean, chlorinated water that’s not at the right pH. The fish are so sensitive to the right water that they’ll die if you put or keep them in the wrong water. Your cells are sensitive too, and the way we see the cell reaction to the wrong water is through sickness, allergies, disease, wrinkles, arthritis, cancer, osteoporosis, failing organs, and so on. Now on top of that add junk-food diets, filled with coffee, soda, etc. What do you think happens to your cells?
