Average customer review:Product Description
Perhaps the only book of its kind, On the Track of Water's Secret is a journey into a realm where water actually has a "memory". Not only can this water retain information, but it can even transfer this information to larger bodies of water, benefiting all living creatures who come into contact with it. This "revitalized" water has the ability to break down calcium deposits in water, thereby softening it, possibly eliminating the need for water filters. It has also been shown to keep fruits and vegetables fresher longer, kill bacteria and aid in various health ailments for those who drink it or use it externally. The author backs up his claims with experiments, pictures and testimonials from the many people who have seen the benefits of "revitalized" water first-hand.

From the Back Cover
For years, frontier scientists and naturalists have been attempting to use the fact that water has a "memory" and is capable of transferring information, to restore our planet's water back to its original healthy, vital state. Such revitalized water has been shown to render many chemicals bio-inactive, to break down the calcium deposits and make water 'softer', to further revitalize larger bodies of water, and to be healthier for all living things. In this book, the television journalist Hans Kronberger, explores the empirical evidence and philosophical arguments relating to "Living Water." Is such water really a possibility? Are the astonishing possibilities which Kronberger presents the sign of a new paradigm in water treatment? Could this signal the end for the water softener moguls? Can we once more swim in healthy lakes and rivers? Will water again be safe to drink? Don't rely on science alone to answer such questions and dictate our ecological future. Read the accounts and experiences herein and decide for yourself.
About the Author
Hans Kronberger and Siegbert Lattacher are researchers who spent over three years collecting reports on 're-vitalized' water and observing and recording experiments involving this water. In addition, they studied the testimonials of ordinary people who have experienced the benefits of 're-vitalized' water, as well as scientists. This expanse of information was combined with material gleaned from comprehensive literature on 're-vitalized' water to intensify the argument in favor of its existence and benefits.

Does water have mysterious powers we have not recognized so far? And if so, how do they manifest themselves? How do they work, how can we put them to use? Most scientists and water experts deny that water has these powers. In their opinion water is simply water. It has the chemical formula H2O and has been researched in every way known to science. On the other hand, there are the so-called naturalists with no higher scientific education, who maintain that water is anything but merely water, quite the contrary. It has powers we know only very little about, it harbors secrets that are greater than all of our present wisdom put together. Water, according to these naturalists, is much more than the chemical formula H2O. It is the foundation of all life on earth and it resonates in constant harmony with the universe. Yes, it vibrates internally and it transports energy and information of colossal proportions. Reducing water to a simple chemical formula is, for these naturalists, a blind approach to a complicated form of matter. Water changes its properties constantly, can both benefit and harm people, can make them well and sick, can absorb and give off energy. It is the most fascinating element and at the same time, the one on which the least research has been done, the least is known.
Customer Reviews
Not at all what I thought it would be
I was disappointed to see this particular book was just an advertisement. It was helpful to read this particular review:
"The book has been illegaly changed, September 7, 1999
Reviewer: A reader
I am a friend of the author (Dr. Hans Kronberger)and I contributed to the book.
Thus I was very astonished that the book has been changed without permission.
This is neither the wish of the authors, nor can it be the wish of Amazon.
I can offer you a copy of the letter chancelling contract. (Uranus the original publisher chancelled the contract with Wishiland publishing)
The original translation can be bought from Uranus or from amazon.de (Germany)
Georg Huber"
Yes, it's just an infomercial, worth pennies at best
I concur completely with the two previous reviews (see 'Caveat Emptor' and 'Tantalizing Informercial). This book does NOT track the secrets of water through the fascinating discoveries and observations being made from the perspectives of several fields of science (physics, biology, health and more), nor does it follow any of several non-mainstream investigations and experiments outside of ONE, and that is the inventions of Johann Grander.
Out of 10 chapters of material (after the opening chapter), just one mentions work other than Grander's, and it is merely an opening salut to the truest pioneer Viktor Schauberger in what seems to be an attempt to establish initial credibility by association. There is no actual linkage made between that work and Grander's.
The next nine chapters present highly repetitive information (even duplicate pictures!) that is overwhelmingly anecdotal. There are some potentially interesting results from tests in industrial applications (and thus the two stars) and a scattering of interesting insights from some supposedly credible scientists, but the only scientists interviewed or quoted are each closely associated with Grander. Exclusively. Much, perhaps even most, of the material is from people who SELL the Grander units. And the illustrations -- the expensive part of publishing a book and thus real indicators of the emphasis -- are more than 50 percent simply portraits of happy users of Grander water, that kind of family-down-the-street (in Austria or Germany that is) feel-good Coca-Cola shot.
The only good thing in the book are some concepts you can derive from what vivified water might be able to achieve if it works, and a teasing tidbit of engrossing information about water structure tossed into the very LAST chapter, which, if it had been an honest effort to explore water's secrets would have been presented very early in the book and built on from there. If you happen across the book for a dollar, that might be worth the lesson in the last chapter and some of the concepts for benefits of well-structured water if it does really work (this book is ultimately unconvincing because of its overwhelming narrow focus, advocacy and salesmanship).
As for Schauberger, go to one of his own publications, for there you'll find vastly more information than in this book... but I will pass on one citation that was intriguing that you might have difficulty finding elsewhere and that is that the Schaubergers (father and son) found that water's energy is depleted in daytime and sunlight and enlivened at night, especially in moonlight, to such extent that they could float logs heavier than water down river at night.
Tantalizing Infomercial
Ok, here's my gripe about this book : it really comes off more like an infomercial than a book, and I don't think I should have to pay for an infomercial. However, ironically, it teases with some information that is actually quite helpful, especially about how water becomes structured. This material really stimulates the imagination, but it left me wanting more, which I thought this book would satisfy. It becomes clear the book is trying to sell a product when repeatedly we are not told about how Grander's device really works. I don't want this information because I am a debunker attempting to discredit the idea, but rather because as a theorist, it really interests me, and would also allow me to become a practitioner. Revealing this sort of information doesn't mean one can't make money. Selling product becomes a matter of supplying to those who are too busy or lazy to prepare it for themselves, which constitutes a real service for people in the modern world, but it does not disclude providing practical information for those with the time or interest to construct the product for themselves. Does Grander's system work homeopathically? What frequencies are being used to purify the water? Aren't I entitled -- not only as a customer of the book but as a potential customer of the device -- to know how the water is being affected? Grander sounds like a fascinating individual, with a fascinating perspective. This testimonials-oriented, marketing book doesn't bother to go in depth about a man who is apparently still alive and coming from a vastly different paradigm than mainstream models, which is a shame as such an in-depth exploration could be quite enlightening. More work is going to have to be done on water structuring, and water energizing in order to come up with noncontradictory, practical models for the layman. There is a lot of information on this topic which seems mainly oriented towards selling product. We need more honest, open, sharing approaches which are synthetic, powerful, and help us understand this amazing substance that makes up more than 70% of our body. I hope someone will read this book and become intrigued enough to write a book which explores the topic in greater depth.
