Are Water Ionizers a Hoax? Not a chance. Scientists and doctors have known about the need for alkaline diets for 80 years, and about anti-oxidants for 60 years. And, the need for filtering water is so simple to understand a 2-year-old could grasp that. I have a real beef with Stephen Lower, who says everyone and everything is Quackery. He even says vitamin C and E are hoaxes and unproven. He attacks doctors who think outside the box and do innovative research, like Dr. Robert Young (pH Miracle Living) and Theodore Baroody (Alkalize or Die). He says there’s no research done in the “real” medical community that supports the need for alkaline water. Here’s a link to a scientific book, dated in 1918, called Uric Acid as a Factor in the Causation of Disease, which shows back then the medical community’s awareness of acidic pH as a factor in causing disease. He criticizes and laughs at people who use their own good sense and judgement to learn about natural healing on their own. I call him the snake-oil-man. He’s a snickery, lofty, patronizing, pompous, authoritarian fool. Authoritarianism is how our society’s health-care knowledge has managed to be so stifled all these years. The references he gives you to “prove his points” don’t prove anything. They’re pompous and non-understandable just like he is. If he proves anything he proves that people who talk fast and hard and esoterically can fool people into thinking they know what they’re talking about. Don’t let yourself be seduced by this guy’s seeming intelligence. He sets himself up as an authority for everything to do with health and healing. Has he tried any of what he criticizes? I doubt it. My personal experience drinking alkaline ionized water for 16 years provides me with the true knowledge of experience that allows me to see through his ignorant rantings. I’ve had so many great experiences with drinking ionized water, I’m at a point of just knowing. Nothing can shake that. But to offer the further proof that some may desire. I’ve listed some of the research from my website here in brief form:

Water Ionizer Fact #1:  Akashi Hospital in Japan (Dr Shinkai) thousands of patients with painful atopic dermatitis have been treated and cured with ionized water. The patients drank the alkaline ionized water to cure their condition from the inside, while they applied the strong acidic (pH 2.8) to their rashes several times per day. The amount of time needed to cure the condition varied from patient to patient, but the condition cleared in over 80% of the cases in just 4 months.

 Water Ionizer Fact #2:  On a breeding farm in Japan, chicks are raised for one month. An experiment was done where the chickens were separated into two groups, each group having twenty thousand chicks. One group was only given alkali reducing water made by adding magnesium to the water. The other group was given regular ground water (as was usual for this farm). The chickens were all fed the same. The only difference was the drinking water. The ground-water group lost 1,100, which died of disease. That’s 94.5% survival rate. The alkali reducing-water-group had a 99.3% survival rate and only lost a total of 140 chickens out of 20,000. Another test was conducted where one hundred chickens from each group were randomly picked and weighed. The average weight of the chickens from the reducing-water-group was 1720 g, while the weight of the ground-water group was only 1590 g.

 Water Ionizer Fact # 3: An experiment was done on a group of mice that were genetically prone to fatness and so tended to develop diabetes. These mice were divided into two groups of 8 in each group. One group was made to drink alkali reducing water made using minerals. The alkali reducing water had the effect of restraining about 34% of blood-sugar level. The alkali reducing water also restrained the development of unhealthy LDL cholesterol in these mice.

 

Water Ionizer Fact #4: An experiment was done to test the alkali reducing water’s anti-cancer effect. A melanoma (malignant skin cancer cell) was injected into the abdominal cavity of the experimental mice. These mice were then separated into two groups. One group drank regular tap water, and the other alkali reducing water. The feed was the same. After 15 days, the tumor size of the mouse drinking alkali reducing water was half the size of the mouse given regular tap water. Also the amount of active oxygen (free radicals) found in the various organs of these mice was far less in the alkali-reducing-water group.

 

Water Ionizer Fact #5: Dr Shinya Hiromi, MD, developer of a technique of colonoscopy in order to see the insides of the rectum and colon and author of The Enzyme Factor has examined hundreds of thousands of colons and has noted that there appears to be a link between unhealthy colons and lifestyle related diseases such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, and constipation. Dr. Shinya’s diet includes drinking a minimum of 3 quarts of alkaline ionized (Kangen) water every day. Before and after colon examinations were video-taped and all showed marked improvements in the colon.

 

Water Ionizer Fact #6: The electrodes for use in the water ionizer must be of a certain quality to ensure proper water ionization. They require platinum coating. Platinum, at about $950.00 per ounce is coating 5-7 electrode plates. So, no…the water ionizers are not over-priced. If anything, they’re under-priced. Right now I’m selling the brand new Jupiter Venus water ionizer for only 1,075, and it will produce water at about the quality of the Enagic and Melody! That’s called progress, not quackery.

Wishing You Water Wellness!
