All quality water ionizers use platinum coated titanium plates.

Is titanium needed in a water ionizer electrode? And Why?

Titanium is a very hard, heat-resistant, non-magnetic, durable metal and it’s also abundant on this planet. So, it’s the perfect choice for use in a water ionizer.

Is the use of titanium electrodes in a water ionizer safe?

Yes, titanium is non-soluble and stable in water. It will last for many years [20, 30 or more] without corroding. Its durability, strength, and non-toxicity make it the choice of material to doctors and medical scientists use for their implanted medical devices such as artificial joints and pacemakers. Also, because it’s so durable and non-magnetic it makes it the best choice of metal to construct a water ionizer electrode with. And, as a side-benefit, it’s cheap.

What if a little gets into the water you drink?

It won’t, because it’s stable and insoluble, also the titanium plates are completely coated with platinum, but even in the odd event it did get into the water, the human body doesn’t react to Titanium as a poison. The body can tolerate high doses before any toxicity would occur and it doesn’t accumulate. Plus, remember, if people have titanium placed in their bodies by doctors [artificial joints, pins, rods, pacemakers] I’d say that indicates a high level of safety has been determined for this material.

For those wanting a more in-depth explanation of titanium’s properties here’s a good link: http://www.lenntech.com/periodic/water/titanium/titanium-and-water.htm

If it’s safe, then why is platinum needed to coat the electrodes?

Platinum is a catalyst, and is needed to speed up the electrolysis. With the water ionizers changing [electrolyzing] the water so drastically just by passing the water over the electrodes, the ionization process wouldn’t occur without a “speeder-upper”. That’s platinum. 

Side Note:

Why are Enagic Dealers Saying that other Water Ionizers have titanium plates which will corrode, leach into your water and poison you?

They are misinformed. Plus they may find it convenient to scare people into thinking they have the only water ionizer that meets safety standards. It obviously works as a sales technique. Look at how many Enagic reps are saying this. They have been sold on this idea. This simply is not true though. It’s a sales technique which I find very suspicious, and I will continue to look into and debunk all the Enagic scare tactics that are unfair and untrue.

Titanium and Platinum are both very strong metals. They both are highly resistant to heat, corrosion, chemical reactions, and oxidation. Titanium is so strong it’s used in making spacecraft, and its abundance makes it very inexpensive. So, for electrodes that will resist corrosion and oxidation over years and years of intense use in a water ionizer, it is the industry standard to use titanium plates coated with Platiinum.

In a water ionizer, the main use for Platinum is to electrolyze water. It has other properties, but the absolute most important use for Platinum in a water ionizer is that…

Water ionization wouldn’t happen without Platinum!

Without platinum the electrolysis of water would be very slow. The larger the surface area [of Platinum] that gets exposed to the water passing through the water ionizer the FASTER the water can be electrolyzed. The increase in titanium has a reverse effect on electrolysis. The more titanium contained in your electrode [in other words -- the larger the plate size] the more electricity you need to push through that electrode in order to ionize the water. Engineers need to juggle these two factors to come up with a design that electrolizes quick enough for today’s presto-chango instant water ionizers! The proof that the design is good is:

DOES THE WATER IONIZER GET A GOOD PH AND ORP CHANGE?

The ones I sell [see STORE above] do. It’s a simple question to answer, because I’ve tested them all.

Understanding Electrolysis: Electrolysis is the act of passing electricity through water to break the water [H20] down into oxygen [O2] and Hydrogen [H2]. During electrolysis…large water clusters split and form two streams. Hydrogen concentrates over on the negatively charged pole [or ALKALINE side of the water cell], and Oxygen concentrates over on the Acidic [positively charged] side of the water ionizer’s water cell. This whole complex process must happen very, very quickly, instantly,  if it is to create a significant change in the water.

Titanium plates are hard and resist corrosion, but they [by themselves -- without Platinum] cannot be used as electrodes. The reason is that the titanium plates by themselves wouldn’t be able to produce a good change in pH and ORP of your ionized water. Without platinum [the catalyst] the process to ionize water requires much more energy and time than a water ionizer has …to ionize water.

Platinum catalyzes [or speeds up] the electrolysis process and so allows ionization to occur in our modern day water ionizers where the water passes through the water cell and instantly ionizes the water.

Water ionizers of today produce ionized water right out of the top spout — instantly!

This is why the water ionizers of today are especially dependent on Platinum. 

Platinum is the one, single element on this planet that can do the job of SPEEDING UP ELECTROLYSIS!

I have one cautionary thing to say about water ionizer designs. The water ionizers with large plates are having to push a lot more electricity through their plates [by the laws of electricity -- the larger the electrode the more electricity is needed to go through it. This greater amount of electricity of course produces a lot more heat. It is the job of the engineer and research scientist to ensure that the design is not calling for too much heat. This is where trust in the company and the longevity of the water ionizer manufacturer comes in. Too much heat is the enemy of a platinum-coated electrode. The surface contact could break down and over time with lots of use I believe the water ionizers that use over 220 watts of power will wear out and might lose their platinum coating in places. I'm not saying it will happen...but it might. In 20 years I guess we'll find out.

How will you be able to tell if your water ionizer is losing its Platinum coating?

You'll notice it is no longer able to make a great change in the PH and ORP of your ionized water. But you might just have hard-water scaling that prevents the water from contacting the Platinum...so make sure you're using an EOS [Elimination of Scaling] device if you live in a hard water area.

Will the Melody and Tyent 7070 Water Ionizers Overheat after 10 Continuous Minutes of Producing Ionized Water?

I heard yesterday that some Enagic dealers were claiming that the Enagic LeveLuk SD 501 water ionizer was the only water ionizer that could pour ionized water continuously for over 10 minutes, non-stop. So this morning I tested this theory on the Melody and Tyent 7070 water ionizers [which I happened to have both right now hooked up to my sink [for other testing].

I had the two water ionizers flowing water for about 2 minutes prior to starting the video [while I was regulating their flow rates. Then I poured some samples of ionized water from each water ionizer to test...all before starting the video. So just add two minutes to the time of how long these water ionizers were continuously pouring water. Where I had to split the videos [in order to comply with You Tube's maximum video length guidelines] I overlapped the videos, so you can re-watch part of the video before the split on the part 2 video [so you see it was continuous.] The point is I’m trying to show some proof…so you don’t have to rely on trust entirely.

Here are the videos:


 

The results are:

  • The Melody and Tyent 7070 water ionizers were neck & neck in the pH/ORP/rH testing of the ionized water produced throughout the 12+ minutes of pouring;
  • The Tyent 7070 water ionizer slightly beat the Melody in rH for all testing done throughout. This means the Tyent’s pH was slightly less than the Melody while at the same time the Tyent’s ORP was slightly more negative than the Melody…producing a better rH. However the results were slightly different…and so I’d say they were almost the same [in the healthiness of the water].
  • The Melody continued to flow ionized water non-stop until I turned the water flow off. There was no slow-down, stop, drop in pH/ORP, overheating, or any indication of any problems at all.
  • The Tyent stopped itself and had a flashing light on the screen, however in the Tyent manual they did not state that this was for anything but to prevent accidental leaving your water ionizer on [let's say you leave it pouring and forget all about it] the water ionizer will turn itself off after about 10 min. of use. I could see no signs of overheating…it just stopped itself. When a min. later I turned it back on…it continued to give predictable ionized water at the levels it was producing earlier.

The bottom line is: this is another Enagic “story” [or I should say "lie"] that has been debunked. I don’t encourage you to all go pouring ionized water on and on, non-stop, for minutes and minutes. Why would you? But, the experiment showed it was possible to do none-the-less Hope this helps!

How Great are Water Ionizer Mesh Plates? Are they Better? Do Mesh Plates Ionize the Water Better?

Many water ionizers are using mesh plates today. It used to be that all water ionizers used solid plates, and of course there used to be very little selection of different water ionizer companies [and models] as there are today. We benefit from the vast array of water ionizer companies and large amount of competition in water ionizer selling, but on the same token, we can become too bombarded with INFORMATION too! This makes things confusing for people wanting to buy a water ionizer.

These wide varieties of choices, though, don’t bother me in the least. Why?

Because I’ve been drinking ionized water for so long (over 16 yrs.) that I’ve seen it all. I’ve been there and done that…so to speak, and the results are: no matter how you design & re-design water ionizers, they are going to give you great, healthy water. It’s like comparing TV brands. Some people are going to be more concerned with buying the absolute best TV and others won’t worry about it. Sometimes you just won’t know until the first “new design” breaks down. Just about all TV owners enjoy watching great TV for years, and when the new technology comes along, might trade in the old for the new…or keep the old one till it breaks. The person who spent hours, days or weeks making sure they got the very best deal, may get a better deal, but he may also get a lemon. It’s happened.

The fact is: the least expensive water ionizer I sell is twice as good as the water ionizer I started out with!

My first water ionizer, back in 1993, cost me $1,100.00 — expensive! But it was a much less well-designed water ionizer. The point of me saying this is …from the time I started drinking ionized water, I ceased to have allergies, colds, ear infections, strep throats, or anything at all negative [health-wise]. That’s with an inferior water ionizer!

We’ve had our new Melody now for about 9 months, and I have noticed that some spider veins that were appearing on my right leg are now going away. This is probably the negative ORP that’s doing this. The Melody water ionizer I have now gets about three times as good ORP as my old Ange water ionizer. So, the newer models, with the better ORP are a great plus! But, the bottom line is, all the water ionizers I sell are great…& so don’t worry so much! My one suggestion is to stay within your budget.

You don’t have to spend $4000. on a water ionizer.

The Kangen water ionizer people [Enagic] will tell you that they have the best water ionizer and that’s because they have the most expensive one. Enagic will tell you how you have to have their water ionizer if you want the miraculous health benefits. However this is not true. All good water ionizers (which are the only water ionizers I sell) will give you similar miraculous health benefits. As a matter of fact, most of the research the Kangen Co. uses to sell their water ionizers was done with other brands of water ionizers [not the Enagic]. The majority of actual researchers they site are from years prior to the Enagic brand even being invented. The Enagic has only been out for 5 yrs. [since 2004] , so it’s ridiculous to think that all the 30 prior years worth of miracles didn’t happen.

The guy who started the Jupiter Co., for instance, was a multi-millionare whose health was failing. A friend introduced him to a primitive version of a water ionizer [this was about 30 yrs. ago] and within a year this man [Michael Moon] had regained his health. Now he was both rich AND HEALTHY. Guess which one he felt was better to be? That’s right! Healthy! So, people have been experiencing these miracles.

The only thing is that most of these people have not been Americans…due to the suppression of new natural health technology in America by the tycoons who profit from medicines, etc. Natural healing solutions tend to be suppressed in this country. So, the concept is very new to most people in this country.

When searching out the water ionizer you want to buy, keep alert for tricky sales techniques. On one website I was on this morning I found some pretty big untruths [AKA: Lies]. Not just one…several.

  • The author stated that Life Water Ionizers had a choice of solid plates as an upgrade to their normal mesh plates. The author was very clear in saying that you had to pay extra for solid plates! Wow! Not TRUE! It’s actually the opposite: you have to pay an extra $100. for mesh plates in any Life water ionizer.
  • The same author was saying that the Jupiter people made their mesh plates in large sheets, then electroplated them, then punched them and cut them. Again…Big Untruth! This guy was truly sincere sounding too! He was trying to make it seem that the Jupiter plate safety was in question. NOT TRUE AT ALL. Jupiter is the leader in electrode plate safety. The reality is that the Jupiter Co. stamps and cuts each plate first and one-by-one electroplates these mesh plates AFTER the cutting process. So every square fraction of a mm of surface area of the electrode is covered with a computer-accurate even coating. This ensures perfect plating to use for perfect water ionization. He also said the plates were made in Korea…not true…they’re made in Japan. Why he made such a deal about this was beyond me. Yikes! This author was either very sloppy in his lack of research or intentionally deceptive. Very bad show!
  • The same guy, obviously an Enagic advocate (the author), was describing how awful electroplating was and how you needed to dip the plates for the best coating. The fact is …dipping the plates causes an uneven coating and is not a scientific way to coat the plates. This is why the Enagic company does not get as good pH and ORP for their ionized water, even though they have higher wattage and larger plates. They’re just not using as well-designed and engineered of a process as Jupiter.

I still sell the Enagic water ionizers, though. Don’t get me wrong…they’re great. But, so are all my other water ionizers…great!

When it comes to a choice between mesh plates and solid plates, I think that as long as your water ionizer has a great self-cleaning system, either type of plate will be good. Mesh will get a bit better pH and ORP, but usually costs more. The solid plate may last longer, but I don’t know. I know solid plates properly plated will last over 20 years…maybe over 30. However mesh plates are a newer technology. The theory (held by PHD scientists) is that the mesh plates will hold up as well as the solid plates.

Jupiter has a far better self-cleaning system, so that’s a company I tend to recommend more than Enagic. They sell both the Melody (with solid plates) and the Athena (with mesh plates). I like the Melody for the reason it ionizes really well (with great pH & ORP), cleans itself really, really well, AND it’s only $1,395.00.

I want to be able to know that my electrodes are free of scaling [calcium build-up] at all times…not just once every 6 months. That’s my bottom line.

For pH and ORP, [and more importantly: relative Hydrogen -- rH] though, the Athena outperforms all the others to date. Will the plates hold up as well as the solid plates? For that, we’ll all have to wait and see.

Why are Water Ionizers so Expensive?

May 24 · by Cathleen LoGrasso

Why are water ionizers so expensive?

First of all, if you compare water ionizers to medical equipment, they’re not expensive at all. But I’ll explain how the expense breaks down. The most cost is in the platinum coated titanium plates. Platinum is right now selling for over $950.00 per ounce! Each plate in the water cell (which is the heart of the water ionizer) is coated with this expensive platinum. Water ionizers have between five and seven of these plates. The reason for using platinum is that it, of all metals, will not break down and leach into your water… even over time. So it will virtually last indefinitely, and as long as your water ionizer has a good cleaning cycle it will produce as healthy water 20 years from now as it does today. The second greatest cost for water ionizers is in the research, development and production of the water ionizer. These are very scientifically developed and intricate machines and the researchers don’t typically receive grant money for it either.
It’s so true that people will not usually question the cost of medical care, however this is after-the-fact treating something that more than likely could have been prevented. It’s high time we start investing a little into the field of prevention!!!

Finally, I wanted to add a statement made by a friend of mine yesterday, “If I would have known all I know today 7 months ago when I bought this machine, I would have been willing to pay $20,000.00 for it…or even more.” My friend attributes being alive today to the fact that she started drinking Kangen water from her Enagic machine.

Water Ionizer Certifications: What is the ISO Certification of Water Ionizers All About?

On most water ionizer comparison charts you’ll see the term “ISO 9001″ or “ISO 14000″. What this is all about is safety and quality for you, the consumer, the worker, and the world. I’ll explain.

ISO is the icon for the International Organization for Standardization, which is the world’s largest developer and publisher of international standards for manufacturers. It has a presense in 161 countries and is chaired by participants in both the governments of those countries and the industry representatives. The purpose of ISO is to develop and encourage standards to protect consumers, workers and the environment.

What’s the difference between ISO 9001 and ISO 140001?

ISO 9001 refers to a family of standards addressing the quality of management in a water ionizer or any other manufacturing facility. The quality of management affects many things related to the water ionizers you purchase: the quality of the water ionizers match the claims made, enhanced customer satisfaction and continual improvement of the water ionizer design and production.

ISO 14001 refers to the environment. The goal with this certification is to minimize the harmful effects on the environment caused by the production of water ionizers or any product.

Both of these certifications are important to look for in your water ionizer purchase.

All Jupiter/Emco Tech, Tyent and Enagic water ionizers have both of these certifications. Life, KYK and Chanson have the ISO 9001 certification.

Why Should Your Water Ionizer Be UL Certified? And Which Water Ionizers Are?

First of all, why your water ionizer should be UL certified is for the safety of your home, your loved ones and the environment. Underwriters’ Laboratories (UL for short) tests new consumer equipment for the safety of electrical circuitry, environmental safety, etc. They provide us with a valuable service by doing this. UL has developed over a thousand rigorous safety standards.

What you can do as a customer to protect your family and home is look at the UL symbol in advertizements for products you buy that are electrical. Otherwise the item could start a fire in your home if it contained some sort of sub-standard safety hazard.

Here are the water ionizers that have either existing UL certificates or are pending this certification.

Are Water Ionizers a Hoax?

Apr 07 · by Cathleen LoGrasso

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.

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 3rd 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 3rd 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.

Is Soda Eating You? What Can You do to Lengthen Your Life, Make Colds a Thing of the Past, Fight Off Aging and Disease and Feel More Energetic than Ever? 

Just how bad is soda? According to the tests in this video and chart below, fountain Diet Pepsi is 1,000 times more acidic than neutral. Canned Diet Pepsi is 10,000 times more acidic than 7.0 pH* (neutral). That’s probably mostly due to the carbonic acid used to carbonate the soda. Soda is also full of colorants, sweetners, and other harmful additives. You know how your stomach digests your food? Answer: Acids. Well acids are all fine and good in the stomach, but they don’t belong in your blood. However, when you drink soda, the acids in it go quickly into your blood. There’s not much to digest in soda, if anything, and so it will pass through the stomach quickly and get absorbed, acids and all, right into your blood. Thus… the analogy: the soda is eating you!

So how is it that so many people get away with drinking this junk every day?

When you’re young you might seem to be getting away with living on coffee, soda and junk food in general, but you will pay a price if you continue doing it.  Or I should say continue over-doing it. A little soda mixed in with a generally healthy diet which includes lots of water (especially alkaline ionized water) will probably be alright, but watch out. You’re playing with fire!  

What’s the price?

Well, even when you’re young you are paying a price even though you may not realize it. The younger you are the more your body is capable of buffering* acids, but one of the ways it buffers the acids you consume is to rob your bones and joints of calcium. Calcium is a good buffer and readily available in your joints when you’re young. The older you get the more robbing must occur to compensate for the fact that your buffering systems are wearing out. The more junk food you ate and soda you drank as a kid, the more and sooner you will suffer as an adult.

Can you turn it around?

Bottled mountain spring water and tap water are far better than soda for you. Drinking them will do you good for now, but it doesn’t look like the qualities of either of these waters can reverse the damage that you’ve done if you’ve drunk a lot of soda or eaten lots of junk foods throughout your life. The problem I can see with these are that their ORP is too high and of course the tap water is full of who knows what. The high ORP over time causes cells to oxidize [like an apple oxidizes -- or turns brown-- when it's exposed to the air for too long]. If you’re young and not worried about aging and disease and arthritis, etc., etc. you might not be concerned now with ORP. But just because you don’t see it, it doesn’t mean that damage isn’t happening. As a matter of fact many cancers may take up to 10 years before the tumor is large enough to detect.

Aging, colds, sore throats, “allergies” that come and go, wrinkles, soreness, can all be directly caused because of the free radicals in your body going unchecked.

It’s not just the things you drink that can cause acidity or contribute to free radical damage of your cells, it’s also what you eat. But that’s for another time. Right now let’s change to a more positive note. We’ve discussed the bad things about soda and the good and bad about bottled water and tap water. But we haven’t yet discussed the really good stuff, which is to say, the phenominal attributes of ionized water.

What is ionized water?

It’s water that has passed through platinum coated titanium plate electrodes and a tiny amount of electricity is added to the mix. The process splits the large clusters of 13 molecules or more and creates micro-clusters of water molecules. About 1/3 of the clusters are acidic and the other 2/3 are alkaline. The acidic water passes out a hose at the bottom of the machine while the alkaline water passes out the top spout.

A customer asked me a couple of months ago, “Aren’t the smaller clusters un-natural?” The answer is NO. If you go up into the mountains to get your mountain spring water fresh from the stream, it will be found to be in smaller clusters. But by the time it makes its way to the valley it’s picked up more acids and the cluster size grows. Then by the time it’s treated and stored…and who knows what…the cluster size grows even further.

So the water ionizer filters the water, makes it “wetter” because smaller clusters can more easily enter cells, and also makes it more alkaline so that you can get all the buffer you need to fight off those bad acid wastes by drinking ionized water every day. Finally it raises the ORP of the water. This is what enables your body to fight off the free radicals which cause cell mutations, cancers, disease, aging, wrinkles, and so on.

So can you do something to reverse the damage?…to turn things around?

I say, “Yep!” Get a water ionizer and use it! To me there is no comparison. Long life, health, vitality, longer-lasting beauty, are all worth so much more to me than the measily 50¢ per day it costs [when you break it all down] to own my very own ionizer. I wouldn’t go without one even if it cost $10.00 per day! It’s worth it. But thank goodness it doesn’t.

 

 

* pH stands for potential Hydrogen, and a high potential Hydrogen is found in alkalines, and a low potential Hydrogen is found in  acids. The pH scale spans from 1 to 14, with 1 being a theoretical maximum acidity and 14 being a maximum alkalinity. The scale is logarithmic, meaning that to go from one number to the next on the scale represents 10 times the former. Example: a pH of 5.0 is 10 times more acidic than 6 on the scale and so on.

* Buffering is bringing the pH back to neutral range. The body will die if the blood pH goes too high or too low, so this buffering is a protective mechanism the body does to keep the blood in the neutral range. If you don’t provide sufficient buffers through your diet, the body will rob bones and joints to grab the necessary buffers it needs. It’s a survival necessity at that point. Arthritis & Osteoporosis are after all better than death.

Cathie from http://www.alkalinewaterplus.com is demonstrating the pH and ORP of fountain soda (Diet Pepsi), canned soda (Diet Pepsi), Natural Spring Water (bottled), tap water (St. Louis), and ionized water using a Jupiter Melody water ionizer. The video was longer than 10 minutes, so is split into two parts. The results can be viewed in the video and also on following chart.

 *When I bought my first water ionizer, I have to tell you that I thought that the price tag for that machine was surprizingly high [$1,100.00 and for back then...that was high]. But then I found out why the high price…the expensive platinum coated titanium plates, plus the costs of top-level scientists working day-by-day in their Research & Development Departments, the careful attentiveness to high quality and so on…so I hope that helps you understand why these are not cheap machines.
