I’ve learned so much about water ionizers over the past 18 years, that I thought I might take a minute to try to summarize the best of what I think might help you understand water ionizers, use water ionizers, and compare water ionizers better.
Why Drink Ionized Water?
In all of the years I’ve been into nutrition [which started in 1973 when I became pregnant with my first son, there is not one single more important thing I've learned or tried that has had more impact on my [or my family's] health than a water ionizer. If I thought it would help, I’d go up on the rooftops and shout it at the top of my lungs… “Your cells are begging you for a water ionizer!!!” I know my cells were. I thought I was perfectly healthy back then too [even though I had several allergies and was sick [or had an ear or throat infection] at least once or twice a year. Ionized water does a lot more than filter your water. It micro-clusters it [makes it more easily absorbable into your cells], it alkalizes it [helping your cells get rid of acids, toxins] and in addition to all this turns your water into a powerful anti-oxidant.

How do you Explain About Ionized Water to Others?
I have constructed a series of simple explanations and videos to help do the work of explaining water ionization to your friends and family members. Read more…
Which Water Ionizer is Best?
That’s a hard question to answer, because it’s kind of like buying a car. But, just like with cars, there are certain companies who have been making water ionizers longer, who are more trustworthy, more reliable and who have scientists and engineers on their design team who truly understand the process and issues connected with making water ionizers. There are also certain whole countries who are better to buy from [i.e., Japan and Korea] because they make water ionizer production fall under strict guidelines. Finally there are certain models which perform better than others. I test and check out the various water ionizer models in every possible way a water ionizer can be tested and checked out [including drinking that ionized water for a week or two at least]. I have discovered that within the water ionizers I sell, there are good, better and best ones. In the category of “Best” I have noticed not only better ORP [antioxidant levels] in the test results, but in my own body better health benefits. As an example, when I switched to the Athena I was able to see the spider veins on my leg disappear. I have summarized the main water ionizer comparison points on a huge chart. Read more…
How Do You Use and Store Ionized Water?
Drinking Ionized Water Instructions: Start off at the lightest ionization level [pH 8.0 or 8.5] and work up slowly. Don’t try to drink high alkaline levels if your body is showing any signs or symptoms of stress doing it. There may be weeks or months before you can comfortably climb up to the level you desire [about pH 9.5]. Read more…
Uses for Ionized Water:
- Drinking: As a Natural Antioxidant it has helped people’s cells and blood vessels [possible prevention of cell mutations, heart disease, vein/artery issues and blood pressure issues]. As a body alkalizer it has helped prevent cancer and even reverse allergies, colds, acid reflux, and a large list of issues related to acidic bodies. As a finely filtered and micro-clustered water, it helps hydrate the cells and ward-off dehydration [which is known to lead to many illnesses]. Best to drink at room temperature or cold. Best without mixing in addatives. Read more…
- With Medication: Use only filtered [purified] water setting for 20 min. before and after taking medications. Otherwise medications may become too quickly and thoroughly absorbed into the body.
- With Vitamins: Used ionized water as usual.
- With Meals: Try it. Many people love to drink ionized water with their meals and have no problem doing so. I’ve heard it could possibly make the stomach too alkaline and interfere with digestion, but this hasn’t been the case with my family.
- With Coffee or Tea: It makes a great tasting coffee or tea, however you should know that heating ionized water will lose a lot of the pH and ORP benefits.
- Mixing into Cool Aid, Crystal Lite, etc.: This is fine to do, however you should know that mixing ionized water with these mixes will lose a lot of the pH and ORP benefits.
- Cooking: Ionized water is great to cook with, but you should know that heating up alkaline ionized water loses a lot of its alkalinity and ORP benefits. Therefore try not to
- Storing: The best container to use with ionized water is a glass [or hard plastic] smaller [1 quart or less] bottle with a lid that has a rubber seal in it. Fill the bottle to the brim [no air space will help to retain the ORP of the ionized water better]. Once the bottle is opened it will start to lose ORP faster — so, that’s why a smaller bottle is suggested. Read more…
- Babies: Babies should drink filtered water [select the "purified" setting rather than an alkaline setting until the baby is about 2 years old...or unless the baby appears to have allergies.
- Children: 2-4 year-olds should be given alkaline ionized water at level 1 or 2 [8.0 - 8.5 pH].
- Pets: Pets like alkaline water just like people do. Use lower levels for baby animals just as you do children.
- Plants: Plants like acidic water. Collect the acid water from the bottom hose in fill bottles to use for watering your plants.
- Stain Remover: Use the highest alkaline your ionizer can produce [10.5 pH or higher] to dab on stain or dip stained spot into. It will loosen up the stains of chocolate, gravy, soda, coffee, blood and other hard-to-clean substances. After a minute, rub lightly and watch stain disappear. [works on fresh stains, so do this before you launder your stained clothing].
- Grease Cutter/Degreaser: Use the highest alkaline your ionizer can produce [10.5 pH or higher] to clean around stoves or clean grease off dishes & pans and as a pre-wash for fine washables or other laundry.
- Germicidal: Acid water at a pH of 4 or below should be sprayed on surfaces where you wish to kill germs [i.e., toilets, sinks, counters, tables]
What Kinds of Conditions have Reversed by Using Ionized Water?
I’ve heard of or seen all kinds of conditions go away completely, such as allergies, cancer, chronic fatugue, high blood pressure, acid reflux, spider veins, diabetes, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, memory issues, intestinal issues, headaches, heart disease, hypertension, gout, food cravings, dieting plateaus.

What do Doctors and Experts Say about Water Ionizers?
Most doctors in the US have not heard of water ionizers, but you could explain it to them. Most doctors will agree that it is good to drink plenty of water, filter your water, alkalize your body and consume antioxidants in abundance throughout the day. Ionized water will do just this, and your doctor should agree that at least it couldn’t hurt. Here are some quotes from doctors and experts who have actually studied and used water ionizers: Read more…
How do you Take Good Care of Your Water Ionizer?
For the most part your water ionizer will take care of itself, but since water ionizers are expected to last over 20 years, there are some tips to keeping it performing at its peak for that entire time. Read more…
Why are Water Ionizers so Expensive, and Why is it Expected that the Prices will Start to Climb even Higher in 2011?
The answer is basically Platinum. Platinum is the single most expensive mineral on the planet. It’s more expensive than pure gold. The last I checked, Platinum was selling for $1700.00 per ounce! That figure has quadrupled since I bought my first water ionizer 18 years ago. By the way, Platinum is necessary for coating the electrodes in a water ionizer. Without platinum the electrolysis of water would be very slow and poor. Read more…
After over 16 years of drinking alkaline ionized water, I can say with conviction that the very best present I could give to myself or a loved one is a WATER IONIZER! Give yourself and your family the gift of health this year! And…
Have a safe and happy spring!
Wishing You Water Wellness!
