Alkaline Water News [Water Wellness]

Water ionizers are now being prescribed by some NDs [Naturopathic Doctors] as “medical devices” in Canada. This is great news! Previously Oriental countries [where water ionizers were invented and have been used and tested for over 40 years] were the only countries that prescribed the use of water ionizers as medical devices. It means that perhaps soon the United States may jump on board, and M.D.’s may start writing prescriptions too. This would help a lot of people to be able to take the tax deduction or even have their insurance company pay for part of the purchase!

Water Ionizer/Medical Device Certification

A water ionizer, as a device, is subject to approval and certification of course, and I believe these certifications are very important to have. Organizations [such as UL, CE, FDA, WQA, etc] certifying water ionizers will decide whether or not it was made in an appropriately certified factory as one of their many criteria. The certifying organization in Korea, which approves the actual medical devices, is the KFDA. If the ionizer has KFDA approval, then whatever ISO rating of the factory has been considered and approved …or they wouldn’t have granted the KFDA approval.

The factories need certification too. KFDA and CE are certificates specific to the product. ISO is specific to the factory and often has to do with the other products being manufactured there. All ISO certificates show quality, and it is not necessary to have them all. Factories apply for the ones they need depending on the products they manufacture at that facility.

ISO 13485 is required for manufacturers sometimes [depends on what, exactly, they manufacture], ISO 9001 and ISO 4001 are also certificates that tell you the manufacturer is a good one. By the way, ISO 9001 and ISO 4001 are certifications that proove the manufacturers are reliable and responsible. Manufacturer ISO ratings are not well understood by most people, and are the subject of some selling tricks.

Another important certificate to look for in the water ionizer itself is the CE certification, which is required to sell medical devices in Europe or Canada. UL is another important certificate, and indicates that the electrical components of the device have been thoroughly examined and conform to UL’s fire-safety standards. The water quality association certificate is important with water ionizers, because it of course involves water filtration.

Water Ionizers Make Sense

It makes sense for doctors to prescribe preventative things like water ionizers for their patients, although the drug companies might not like it, because they really do help people with their health! But of course doctors want proof. That is understandable. I offer lots of proof throughout my website [e.g., check out my Research Videos button above], but here’s just a little bit of great objective proof:

The picture above is an example of Ronnie Ruiz, whose blood was photographed by a nutritional microscopist over 18 months ago. Ronnie’s blood was clearly acidic. It was in a very unhealthy state. The spikes you see in some of the blood cells mean these blood cells are becoming oxidized and there is possibly high cholesterol. The irregularly shaped blood cells are an indication of disease or unhealthy condition in the body. The cells that look like they have a little knob on the end are yeast cells [not a good thing to be in your blood], the blood cells that have shiny white spots in them is a sigh of iron or other nutrient deficiency [i.e., the blood cells are thinning]. The crystals that look like elongated triangles are solidified uric acid. One way our body protects us from acid is to solidify it. If left go very long, these uric acid crystals would find their way to the joints and cause pain [i.e. arthritis].

After drinking alkaline ionized water for 18 months Ronnie’s blood changed dramatically! Look at how round they are, and how evenly shaped! They’re not irregularly sized or shaped for the most part, and there’s no white spots in the middles. There’s no yeast and no signs of nutritional deficiencies or oxidation happening to the cells.

For more information and videos of live blood cell analysis, visit this recent blog post of mine: http://alkalinewaterplus.info/blog/2010/01/12/ionized-water-blood-cells-demo-videos/

The problems that Ronnie had before drinking alkaline ionized water were: over acidity of body, and oxidation of cells. These are very common problems that probably affect almost everyone in the US. Our diet and lifestyle makes us particularly vulnerable to the problems of oxidation and over-acidity of our bodies. Buying a water ionizer could someday be considered by you as the best thing you ever did! Don’t wait until it’s too late! I’ve had almost 18 years of experience drinking ionized water; please believe me, it’s not natural to be sick!

The following video is a pretty good summary of what the causes and signs of an acidic body. Of course if you have any of these signs, you should start drinking ionized water [about a gallon per day].

You may wonder what a report on Alzheimer’s is doing in a water ionizer blog.

Several months ago I did some research for a water-ionizer-blog article I was writing on Fluoride. Fluoride is an acidic element which is eliminated to a great extent [into the acid water stream -- bottom hose of your water ionizer ] when your water is ionized….THANK GOODNESS! 

What I discovered in my Fluoride research had a great impact on me:

Fluoride is linked to Alzheimer’s, learning disabilities and many other diseases.

It’s actually a poison [similar in its effects to lead poisoning]. This discovery hit-home with me, because my Mother had just died of Alzheimer’s and that was an awful disease. It’s the kind of disease where you really actually lose your loved one long before their body dies. In other words, she was so filled with dimentia, she was not herself for years, before she actually died. She actually didn’t remember anything meaningful for life: her family, her past, or even who she was, and this wonderfully strong, smart, and independent woman became a complete dependent until she finally couldn’t even breathe for herself anymore.

In my research I discovered [as many before me had] that the toxic wastes of aluminum manufacturing have been [at the tax-payer's expense] dumped into our water supplies for the past 40+ years! Actually I knew Fluoride was added to the water, but like almost everyone else in the country, I trusted that this additive was safe for us [and needed] or it wouldn’t be added. In my research I discovered vast amounts of reports implicating the ingestion of Fluoride as being linked to many diseases [including Alzheimer's and learning disabilities] and very unsafe, and I also discovered that virtually nothing was being done to stop it.

Back in the day when adding Fluoride was a new idea, the authorities [the people studying Fluoride safety] were the very same scientists who said the atom bomb testing was safe. These were the leading authorities of the day…but were later discredited and found to be biased [in fact they needed to say Fluoride was safe or they would be exposed for the great damages they'd authorized]. What we did [as a country] was: 1. Take the word of people with an agenda [that Fluoride was safe] 2. We set up a system of dumping Fluoride into drinking water, and 3. We never put in the proper checks and balances to ensure this was a good decision, 4. We never re-evaluated to make sure that the actual proper studies were done [by independent non-biased researchers] as to the safety of this Fluoride dumping, 5. We didn’t even re-evaluate when it was discovered that the original “authorities” had an agenda to make Fluoride look good, and 6. We didn’t really research Fluoride well enough to find out that the only real benefit of Fluoride was when it was applied topically, and that ingesting it was poisonous! 

Please read my article on Fluoride if you haven’t already done so. We need people to put the pressure on the EPA, other government agencies and their federal, state and local representatives to take action in stopping the dumping of Fluoride into our municipal water. The scientists who gave the stamp of approval to adding fluoride to municipal water all over the country were later discredited as being corrupt. There are no really validated reasons anymore for dumping this poison into our water! At the time when my mother got Alzheimer’s, I didn’t know there was something I could have done, right then, to help her. Since then, I’ve discovered a few things which can be done, and I will share these with you [below]. As I discover more things I’ll add them to my blog. 

What can you do to help reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s?

1. Use a fluoride prefilter or reverse-osmosis-remineralizer to take out all the harmful junk in your water and then add back in all organic, healthy minerals.
2. Use a water ionizer [of course] to get rid of the acidic elements that may remain after prefiltration and alkalize your body.
3. Here’s really the meat of this blog-post: A customer sent me this link [knowing I was interested in Alzheimers]. When I read it I was amazed! I did some further research and found a six-part video series with the doctor who wrote the article. So, naturally I included the video series in this blog-post [see below]. It’s a must-see video series. Even if you don’t know someone with Alzheimer’s now, chances are you will. With the growing prevalence of this disease, there are predicted to be over 50 million people with Alzheimer’s by 2050 [unless, of course, we do some smart things to prevent it. I wish I had this 5 years ago, and so I'm passing it on to you! It has nothing to do with water ionizers, but I just feel compelled to share it. It's an article from a doctor whose husband at 58 years old got Alzheimer's. She tried all the conventional treatments for Alzheimer's, and none stopped the rapid onset of dimentia for her husband. His disease came on suddenly, and progressed quickly. Due to effort, luck and her superior ability to put two and two together, Dr. Mary Newport has actually found something that is working to reverse part of the damage done by Alzheimers. But it's not a drug: it's all natural. With more research, this may become the cure of the century. Don't wait till Alzheimers happens to you or a loved one to read this article...the steps described in the article [and videos] could actually prevent Alzheimer’s, and it won’t be anytime soon before this study has reached its conclusion. In the meantime, people learning about Dr. Mary Newport’s work are trying the methods she outlines and seeing remarkable benefits. Like she says, “It can’t hurt to try.” Read this article and watching the videos [below]. I believe it could change your future health dramatically. Here is the article: http://www.coconutketones.com/WhatIfCure.pdf

Brief Summary of Alzheimer’s Article: Dr. Mary Newport live in Fllorida [interestingly near an aluminum manufacturer]. Dr Newport’s husband at the time of the article [July, 2008] was 58 years old and had Alzheimer’s. He started showing signs of it years earlier, and they were very dilligent in getting him all the best treatment. Despite the exceptional care and treatment, his condition worsened very quickly. Dr. Newport continued to study medical journals in hope that she’d find something that helped her husband. Finally, through chance, luck, and probably because she was really looking, she read about a study using a nutritional substance, Ketasyn, which is another name for MCT oil, which was making some impressive improvements in about half the patients. She wanted her husband in that study, but he didn’t qualify [as he was too far gone]. However, with further digging she found that this oil can be found in health-food stores in the form of natural, extra-virgin, organic coconut oil.  Because she understood this research article and was able to find the oil, she attempted on her own to help her husband. Almost instantly her husband’s mental abilities improved drastically. At the time of the article, he wasn’t fully recovered, but the fact of improvement was clearly significant. Nothing was stopping the rapid decline before that. The point of Dr. Newport’s article was to help raise awareness for all people. This oil can be taken by anyone, and is actually very healthy for you. I, for one, went ahead and ordered some yesterday. Here’s the link I used: http://www.assuredorganics.com/oils.html although you can get it from many sources. This company offers large quantities at cheap prices.

Here is the 6-part YouTube video interview with Dr. Mary Newport:

This is all new late-breaking news! I will contact this doctor and follow her research…and bring you the latest reports as I find them, so stay tuned! Also here are links to Dr. Mary Newport’s website and Blog:

A potential customer asked me, the other day, to evaluate the Nikken water system. She said it was a water ionizer. I proceeded to try to research it, but the data available to me seems very vague and from what I can gather it does the opposite of a water ionizer. I’m not sure about the stones and magnets involved, perhaps this has some water ionization effect, but the water gets whirled around so fast that I’m sure it’s adding lots of oxygen to the water. This looks like a bad idea to me. We breathe oxygen, and it is because of oxydation in our bodies by free radicals that we need antioxidants. With ionized water, what we’re trying to do is better hydrogenate our bodies…they’re already oxygenated enough! Ionized water provides us with an unlimited supply of low (negative) ORP water, which is fantastic for scavenging up all our free radicals. I just can’t think of why anyone would want to stir in all that oxygen into the water! My theory was that if you stir or whip oxygen into ionized water it will raise the ORP, rather than lower it (which is what we want to do to make it healthier for free radical scavenging). So I conducted this test where I test the pH and ORP of ionized water from my Melody Water Ionizer at level 3, then I blend the water with a portable high-speed mixer (simulating the water whirring around in a Nikken water system. Finally, I tested the water after blending to see if the pH and ORP changed, and I recorded my results on the chart below. Here’s the video.
