What are the health benefits of calcium in alkaline ionized water?

I have gotten this question regarding the health benefits of calcium in alkaline ionized water in one form or another many times.  I’d like to address it here:

Question: “I boiled my alkaline ionized water and this is what it looked like.  What are the white flecks?”

Answer: The white flecks in your alkaline ionized water are actually Calcium, Calcium Carbonate to be exact.  The above picture is an extreme example, because this customer lives in an area of extreme water hardness, but don’t be alarmed if you see a few white flecks in your alkaline ionized water, especially if you boil it.

The first thing to know is that usually calcium is dissolved into the structure of the water molecules so well that you can’t see it, but boiling [or even ionizing] the water will un-dissolve some of the calcium. It’s similar to putting a few tablespoons of salt in a glass of water and then stirring. After a minute or two, you won’t see the salt anymore, because it will dissolve.

The second thing to know is that alkaline ionized water will contain more Calcium than your tap water because Calcium is an alkaline mineral. Inside the ionization chamber [water cell] of your water ionizer it is split into two “poles”, alkaline and acidic. The alkaline minerals are drawn to the alkaline “pole” while the acidic minerals are attracted to the acidic pole. Therefore there will be a greater concentration of alkaline minerals in your alkaline ionized water.

The third, and most important thing to know is that…

Calcium is very healthy for you.

As a matter of fact, studies have been done revealing that people who live in hard water areas [which basically means they have more calcium in their water] live longer and have less disease in general than those living in soft-water areas. Here are just a couple [of the many thousands of links] to studies that show “people who drink soft water tend to have higher death rates than people who drink hard water”

• http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969781800472
• http://www.springerlink.com/content/uh28022555t11082/

Is it possible to get too much calcium in alkaline ionized water?

The amount of calcium you will get via alkaline ionized water will be insignificant compared to what you’d get in a calcium tablet, for instance. People who take tablets and tablets of calcium daily would possibly come to a point where they were taking too much calcium, but the small amount of calcium in alkaline ionized water is not a problem at all. Check your alkaline setting, though, on your water ionizer and, for drinking, don’t set it too high. The ideal alkalinity for alkaline ionized water is 8.5 to 9.5 pH. Setting your water ionizer too high will make your alkaline ionized water have more minerals in it and that may make it taste less desirable to you (although I like the taste myself), it also may be too alkaline for the most efficient entry into your body. Here’s a link to a page describing the proper pH for consumption…and why:  http://www.alkalinewaterplus.com/digestion

After over 16 years of drinking alkaline ionized water, I can say with conviction that the very best thing I could give to myself or a loved one is a WATER IONIZER! Give yourself and your family the gift of health this year!

We are going to do a before and after water ionizer comparison with the Athena Water Ionizer before and after using the Spartan Ionizer Shield.

We just got a new TDS (total dissolved solids) meter, and we are very interested in finding out what the Spartan Water Ionizer Shield will do to the TDS measurement as well as the pH and ORP of the water ionizer. It would seem logical that the TDS would decrease with the use of the Spartan Water Ionizer Shield, but we will see what happens.

We are testing the water ionizer in St Louis, and as a note, the water is not particularly hard here, and our water ionizer works very well without any prefiltration. But, I wanted to see what the Spartan Ionizer Shield would do to it. My hypothesis was that it would possibly make it easier for the water ionizer to do it’s job and increase the ORP.

What is the Spartan Ionizer Shield?

The Spartan Ionizer Shield consists of three prefilters.  It is used in cases of very hard water to protect the water ionizer from scaling and improve the taste and quality of the ionized water.

• Filter Number One:  This filter conditions the pre-ionized water by changing the scaling calcium into a non-scaling form which helps protect your water ionizer and also optimizes the pH into a range that is more effective in removing fluoride.  This stage also removes iron, hydrogen sulfide, manganese, chorine, chloramines, fluoride, lead, arsenic, and selenium.
• Filter Number Two:  This stage removes lead, mercury, nickel and other heavy metals as well as chlorine and chloramines.  It also prevents scaling in hard water areas.  This filter also improves the taste and clarity of your ionized water.  The final stage in this filter reduces water tension and makes the water ideal for ionization.
• Filter Number Three:  This filter reduces the harmful effects of hard water scale on the water ionizer and also improves the taste, odor, and water clarity and offers added protection from chlorine/chloramines, VOC’s, and disinfectant byproducts in the ioinzed water.

Results

Summary of Results

TDS

It looks like the TDS was not dramatically changed one way or the other in the ionized water.

It seems like the higher the pH of the alkaline ionized water, the higher the TDS reading. This makes sense to me because the concentrate of alkaline minerals increases as the pH increases in the ionized water.

pH

The Athena water ionizer seemed to have trouble getting a wide range in pH before the Spartan ionizer shield was put in. After, the ionizer shield was put in, there was a wider range in pH. It allows you to get a lower acid water which is very useful in many different circumstances.

ORP

The ORP seems to be slightly higher at the lower pHs and lower at the higher pHs in the ionized water. It’s hard to tell from just one test, but the ORP overall looked better without the Spartan ionizer shield.

Conclusion

The Spartan water ionizer shield is not effective in improving the ionization in St Louis.  However, in very hard water areas, such as the Las Vegas area, it would improve the quality of the water and also prevent scaling.  I have had several customers in this area give very positive feedback on the results of the Spartan water ionizer shield.

After over 16 years of drinking alkaline ionized water, I can say with conviction that the very best thing I could give to myself or a loved one is a WATER IONIZER! Give yourself and your family the gift of health this year!

Live Blood Cell Analysis

Your blood is a very direct indicator of how healthy you are.  Live blood cell analysis is a very scientific way to show how healthy or unhealthy you are and/or also predict your future health.

Healthy Blood

Healthy blood will be round and uniform in size and shape.  It will be floating freely and not be “sticking” to other blood cells. Alkaline ionized water will help you get your body to a state where it’s blood is healthy.   Here is a picture of healthy blood.

(The image on the left is unhealthy blood and the image on the right is healthy blood)

Unhealthy Blood

Blood that has any irregularities tends to indicate diseases or disorders.  This also indicates that it is in an acidic environment.   Your diet can cause this, as well as the air you breath and a stressful lifestyle, among other things.

Unhealthy blood indicates that there is something wrong with your body’s pH, and/or your body’s various systems [e.g., immune system, digestive system, etc]. You can catch things that could later cause problems with live blood analysis because it is so basic.

A change in diet and adding healthy alkaline ionized water will help your body be able to function properly.

When you alkalize your body, it shows in your blood!

Watch these videos to see how alkaline ionized water can improve the health of your blood within 20 minutes!

In these videos, Jason Fowler, a nutritional microscopist, examines Lisa Ramirez’ blood samples before and after drinking alkaline ionized water.  The results are pretty amazing. Lisa’s blood looks better only 25 minutes after drinking ionized water.

Yeast and Fungus were in Lisa’s Blood: Yeast and Fungus are both indicative of disease and an acidic body environment.  The presence of yeast and/or fungus would also indicate that the blood is not able to get rid of waste very easily.  Alkaline ionized water allows the body to rid itself of these toxins safely, and will let the blood have the slight alkaline pH that it likes.

Different sized and shaped blood cells: This indicates that the body is having trouble digesting and getting the nutrients to the blood cells.  This is also helped by alkaline ionized water. Also see our blog on the digestive system http://alkalinewaterplus.info/blog/2011/07/06/water-ionizers-help-digestive-system/ .

Lisa’s Blood had Some Rouleaux: Rouleaux is a blood condition in which the blood links together in chains.  Alkaline ionized water gives the blood a negative charge and so the cells then repel each other and can exist in their own space.

Lisa’s Blood had some Erythrocyte Aggregation: Erythrocyte Aggregation is a condition in which the blood sticks together, but on all sides.  In both this condition and rouleaux, the blood would have trouble going through small capillaries.  Again, alkaline ionized water will reduce the amount of aggregation and allow your cells to move freely through your veins.

Lisa had some Ghost/Shadow Cells: Ghost/Shadow cells are cells that are very faint.  The reason for this is because the outer layer of the blood cell is made up of 97% fat.  So, if your body has trouble digesting fats or you don’t have a lot of good fats in your diet, you will have a hard time making healthy blood cells.  Alkaline ionized water helps in allowing your body to reach a balance in which your organs can function correctly and with little stress on the body.

Jason Fowler also mentions that every cell has electricity, or an electric charge.  Being sick or diseased will take this energy away from the cells and their normal function.  Drinking alkaline ionized water gives your cells energy because it is highly charged (negative ORP).  This not only allows for your body to repair itself from sickness etc, but also allows the cells to have enough energy to pick up nutrients and drop them off, amongst many other functions.

Alkaline ionized water and acidic ionized water both offer significant beauty benefits. A water ionizer is not only the healthiest thing you can use for your body, it will also help you to be the most beautiful or attractive you can be if you know how to use it right.

Beauty Tip #1: Drink lots of ionized water!

Let’s face it. If you’re not healthy you won’t look your best! Drinking lots of ionized water every day has helped countless thousands of people be more healthy [including me -- for 16 years]. Being beautiful is not vanity, it is a sign of good health, overall. All of the “Beauty Tips” in this article are also, in my mind, health tips. A sound, well-balanced body [that includes organs, skin, hair, nails, weight....everything] is the key to beauty. Alkaline ionized water helps with all of that.

But, do not throw away your acidic water!

There are lots of uses for acidic water [both for health and for beauty]. Acidic ionized water is also used for watering plants, softening water for baths and laundry, disinfecting and more, but in this article I’m concentrating on beauty. Here are some surprising things that ionized acidic water can do for your beauty…and the science behind it!

Beauty Tip #2: Acidic Ionized Water [Acid Water] Beautifies Your Skin AND Makes it Healthier.

[Acidic ionized water at the 3 - 4 pH-level is perfect for neutralizing the skin.]

The Science Behind It: Your acid mantle [outermost layer] of your skin is your body’s first line of defense against bacterial, fungal or viral infections. It is important to maintain this layer of your skin [the acid mantle] at about a 5.5 pH. However, because of the nature of soaps [soaps are typically a high alkaline pH in order to emulsify and flush away oils] the acid mantle is often left at too high of a pH after bathing or showering. The consequences of this is a breakdown of the acid mantle, drying out of the skin, and roughness caused by a build-up of alkaline minerals left on the skin. Hair should be about 5.5 pH, but because of alkaline soaps and shampoos you use, the skin and hair are usually found to be way off-balanced at a higher than natural pH level. Acid water is used as a…

Skin Toner and Conditioner:  Rinsing with acid water at a 3-4 pH-level helps to remove the residual alkaline minerals left from bathing, showering, shaving, or hand-washing and restore your skin to its perfect 5.5 ph-level.

What are some of the BEAUTIFUL benefits of rinsing your skin with acidic water?

• Softer skin
• Remediation of dry skin
• Remediation of flaking skin
• Greater resistance to irritations or infections
• Greater resistance to invasion by bacteria and fungus into skin and nails
• Prevention of pimples [pores become healthier]

Beauty Tip #3: Acidic Ionized Water [Acid Water] Beautifies Your Hair AND Makes it Healthier.

[Acidic ionized water at the 3 - 4 pH-level is perfect for neutralizing the hair.]

The Science Behind It: The cuticle is the outermost hair-layer surrounding each hair shaft] .

The cuticle is made of many scales that open up and let things into the hair-shaft if exposed to liquid with a high pH and, conversly, the hair-shaft closes up with a low pH. It is most beneficial to the health and beauty of your hair to close the hair cuticle.

Shampoo is most often found at a high alkaline pH. A high pH solution applied to your hair will open up the hair cuticles , and expose it to becoming dry and damaged.

When you rinse with water at a pH of about 3.0 to 4.0, this low pH water combines with the high pH of your newly washed hair and restores it to its ideal pH of about 5.5.

• Beauty Tip 3A: Use acidic ionized water [acid water] at a 3.5 pH-level as a hair rinse.
• Beauty Tip 3B:Pre-poo [pre-shampoo] your hair. Pre-pooing is where you rinse your hair before washing with acid water. Acid water can be used to make your hair more acidic [and thus close the hair cuticle] prior to washing. Use ionized acidic water [acid water] at about 3-4 pH, pour over the hair and let it sit for a couple of minutes before shampooing. The acidity closes up the hair cuticles, thus preventing the hair shaft from being exposed to and being dried out by the shampoo.] Then after you shampoo [and condition if applicable] give a final rinse to your hair with about a 3-4 pH acid water. This will again close up the hair cuticles and protect your hair from drying out or otherwise becoming damaged later on.
• Bonus Beauty Secret:Hair that has tightly closed cuticles has a smooth, shiny, silky look to it and doesn’t split at the ends.

What are some of the BEAUTIFUL benefits of rinsing your hair with acidic water?

• Smooth hair
• Shiny hair
• More vibrant color of hair [less alkaline mineral deposits on hair to film it up]
• Less static
• Strengthens hair
• Fewer or no more split-ends
• Cleaner scalp [assists to prevent or re-mediate dandruff]
• Hair doesn’t dry out.
• Hair doesn’t tangle.
• Assists with color retention [in dyed hair].

I often get questions asking if heating or cooling ionized water from one of our water ionizers will change it.  I have tested the effects of heating & cooling ionized water many times before, but recently have discovered the importance of protecting the ionized water from the air. Exposing ionized water to the air causes it to lose its antioxidant valur at a much faster pace. Today I’m trying to find out more about what happens when you heat or cool ionized water.

Because I already know from many tests done in the past that exposing ionized water to air decreases the ORP, I did my best to eliminate the air variable in order to have a more accurate test.

Note: PH and ORP meters cannot take such extremes in temperature, so I had to let the containers holding the frozen and boiling water sit in room temperature long enough to be able to test it.

Results

Conclusions

• Boiling ionized water does significantly decrease its health value. It will take the negative ORP [anti-oxidant value] out of the water and will even reduce the pH somewhat. [However, even after being boiled, ionized water is still far better than tap water, un-ionized.]
• Freezing ionized water does not, by itself, reduce its health value very much. As long as you take precautions to not expose the ionized water to air, your frozen ionized water should be good.
• Warming your ionized water does not seem to reduce the health value much [unless you bring it to a high temperature]. Note: In our experiment, we brought it up to 108 degrees.
• Adding ice [especially if the ice was made of ionized water] doesn’t decrease its health value.

Suggestions Based on the Test Results

After evaluating the results of these tests, I can safely say that it’s fine to warm your ionized water slightly or to add ice to it. Boiling your ionized water for drinking it is for the most part not suggested.

After over 16 years of drinking alkaline ionized water, I can say with conviction that the very best thing I could give to myself or a loved one is a WATER IONIZER! Give yourself and your family the gift of health this year!

Ionized water is best fresh. But, obviously sometimes you have to store ionized water for some period of time. It would be impractical to bring your ionizer to work with you! I often get questions about what is the best way to store alkaline ionized water, so I have taken the liberty to test a variety of bottles to see which one stores ionized water the best.

By the way, the best way to fill the bottles of ionized water is to over-fill them and carefully cap them in such a way as to try to get no air bubble.

When you do this it will maintain the pH and ORP much better.

ORP: Oxidation Reduction Potential [the antioxidant value of the ionized water] tends to degrade with exposure to air of ionized water. ORP is one of the main qualities of ionized water that makes it so healthy.  A low negative ORP is what we are looking for. This will give you lots of antioxidants. The lower the better.

PH:  A good drinking pH is anywhere from 8.5 to 10. The pH of ionized water tends to keep [store] much longer than the ORP.  PH will reduce with exposure to air but not anywhere near the degree that ORP will.

Storing for 1-2 hours

In these videos, I test the ionized water before filling the bottles and then fill them with as little air bubble as possible. Then I wait for a couple hours and test again.

As you can see, the mason jar was almost exactly the same ORP and pH as the original ionized water before it was stored! This is THE best way to store ionized water. One key thing to do is to ensure that there is no air bubble in the container.

Storing for One Day

Here are some results from further [off-video] testing I did with storing ionized water. I let some containers sit for one day with ionized water. These are some, but not all, of the containers shown in the video above.

As you can see, the mason jar wins again, by a long shot. The glass bottle is a close second.

So if you have to store your ionized water while at work or for any other reason, consider using a mason jar. This is a good way to keep the ionized water as “fresh” as possible.

Today we are doing a taste test between the Enagic SD501 water ionizer, the Athena water ionizer, the Tyent 7070 Turbo water ionizer and St Louis tap water.

We are testing with three different people.  They will be blind folded so as to eliminate any bias each one might have toward a particular water source.

We are going to show you each video as we go along for the sake of full disclosure and so that you can make your own conclusions from observing yourself.  Keep in mind there are modifications to and conclusions made from this experiment as we go along.

In each video we are rating the taste of the water on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the worst tasting and 10 being the best tasting.

The Enagic did not test very well in the taste test. However I realized that I had not checked the pH of any of the water samples.  So after this video we tested the pH of all of the ionized water.

Modifications Needed

After this initial testing I checked the pH of all the water we were tasting.  Here’s a table of what the pH was after the video for each water source.  After seeing the higher pH for the Enagic, I concluded that this might have effected the results of the Enagic water ionizer’s taste test.

In the following videos I attempt to control the pH variable. After redoing the taste testing with all water ionizers at the same pH level (see chart below) the Enagic still did not do as well as the other water ionizers.

For the sake of condensing the information contained in these videos, I am only putting the average score from each taste tester for each water source.

Final Conclusion

The results are actually quite amusing.  They are not very decisive and even within one taste test on one person, it seems to not have any real pattern.  But, I guess that’s what you get when you are doing an experiment based on someone’s opinion.

It looks like the Athena wins out with St Louis tap water as a close second.

You can watch the videos yourself and conclude as you wish.

Note: We are lucky in St Louis to have such good tasting tap water.  That may have influenced the results of these tests.

I had a customer who requested I test several different flavor enhancers to try to find out…

Is there a good flavor-aid or flavor-enhancer to use with ionized water [one that wouldn't destroy the pH and ORP of the ionized water]?

I have done this kind of testing before, however only found that citric acid, if added to a drink, will make the drink acidic, but because of its alkaline ash will probably not reverse the benefits of drinking ionized water. In other words, drinking a healthy lemonade or iced-green-tea & stevia drink is a very good and refreshing drink, however…

I DO NOT suggest that you use additives exclusively.

This will not help to alkalize your body in the long run. I have tried it and it doesn’t pan out in real life to feel or be as good as drinking ionized water by itself. Here are some of my earlier blog posts:

• Water Ionizers Make Water Perfect…Additives, Like Crystal-Light Undo the Goodness
• Lemonade with Ionized Water [Acidic or Alkaline?] Also, What’s the ORP?

To accomodate this customer I tested several new flavor-aids and have evaluated them in this blog post, as to their healthiness.

After all my testing…

It looks like green tea is still the winner!

The only caveat with green tea is: make sure you don’t heat the water or you’ll lose your benefits of both pH and ORP.

Water ionizers can help you ward off all allergies. They have for me.

When you have a water ionizer you have a great tool to use in adjusting your body’s health-needs. The pH of your body fluxuates according to a lot of factors, such as diet, exercise and stress-levels. That means that some days you may need more ionized water than other days in order to provide your body with: the alkaline buffers it needs to adjust for the daily living needs, the hydration it needs [you need more hydration the more you sweat], and also to provide it with the ORP [antioxidants] it needs to combat free-radicals. I have found, over the years of drinking ionized water, that allergy symptoms are more related to stress, hydration, and diet than to anything else.

What do I suggest an ionized water drinker do if they get an allergy symptom?

Drink more ionized water. Don’t raise the pH of the water you’re drinking…just drink more. Whenever I’ve followed this rule, the allergy symptom has gone away within a few minutes of drinking more ionized water. Here are some examples.

• I was driving, and sneezed once. I had my mind on something else and had forgotten to drink enough ionized water. So, I reached for a big, 32 oz. bottle of ionized water and drank most of it all at once [guzzle, guzzle]. That was the end of that allergy symptom.
• A few times I’ve been out of town and not able to get ionized water, and then gotten some allergy symptom [sore throat, itchy nose, sneeze, or cough], but when I arrived back in St. Louis drand a big, 32 oz. bottle of ionized water [as above] and the symptoms were gone. That was that.

For some reason, for me, 32 oz. seems to be the magic number if ever a symptom arizes. However I would never suggest that I knew that number for everyone. Each person has to figure out their own needs, when it comes to quantity of ionized water, but I’ll be willing to bet that following the general rule of drinking more ionized water will help anyone combat their occasional allergy symptoms.

After over 16 years of drinking alkaline ionized water, I can say with conviction that the very best thing I could give to myself or a loved one is a WATER IONIZER!  Give yourself and your family the gift of health this year!

I recently did a series of tests to determine …

Which Container is Best for Storing Ionized Water?

I often get this question from my water ionizer customers, and have been working on discovering the very best methods of storing ionized water for a while now. So far, I’ve discovered that leaving no gap of air inside the container makes a huge difference in the ability to store ionized water and retain the ORP [antioxidant value], which usually escapes in just a few hours of storage. Also, glass appears to be the best container for retaining the ORP and pH values of the ionized water the longest.

The three containers I used in this trial were: 1) a glass jar [the kind used for jamming], 2) a plastic, BPA free, jar with a pull-type top, and 3) a dark, plastic, BPA-free container with a flip-type spout.  The water ionizer I used was the Jupiter Athena water ionizer.

The videos are all posted here in order. Beginning/pouring note: I filled each container to the brim in attempts to have no air-gap in the bottle at all. The second container was impossible to do this completely because of the cap design. I tested them at different intervals and have posted the results, below, on a chart for your easy reference.

Conclusions: The glass jar is best for storing ionized water, however if you’re drinking the water within a couple of hours, using a plastic, bpa-free, container filled to the brim is good too. The flip-top lid appears to be a bad design for retaining ORP. So avoid lids that have a way for gas to escape.

After over 16 years of drinking alkaline ionized water, I can say with conviction that the very best thing I could give to myself or a loved one is a WATER IONIZER!  Give yourself and your family the gift of health this year!
