Product Description

Water is our best defense against disease of every kind. Sixty percent or more of all chronic disease would be significantly reduced if people would simply keep themselves properly hydrated. To ionize means to gain or lose an electron. Essentially, the ionization process robs an electron from one molecule and donates, or transfers, it to another molecule. Both Alkaline and Acid Ionized Water have extraordinary properties and benefits, however, their respective uses could not be more different. We consume Alkaline Ionized Water and use the Acid Ionized Water on the outside of our bodies for acne, cuts, scrapes and rashes of all kinds. It kills bacteria on contact and encourages plant growth. The centerpiece of Alkaline Ionized Water are its antioxidant properties. It is miraculous that normal tap water can be instantly transformed into a strong antioxidant. Alkaline Ionized Water has two antioxidant qualities, its negative charge and the presence of hydroxyl ions which are free radical scavengers. The body is starved for electrons and Alkaline Ionized Water contains an abundance of them, which nullify free radicals in the body. One can thrive on half the normal intake of food as long as we consume high electron-rich nutrients. Alkaline Ionized Water is an extremely effective antioxidant because it is a liquid that has a small grouping of water molecule clusters and thus is more easily absorbed into the body where it can be of immediate use. Drinking Alkaline Ionized Water gives you energy through better hydration and alkalization of the body and by providing the body with oxygen. Because of the predominance of hydroxyl ions in Alkaline Ionized Water, the water becomes alkaline, meaning it has a high pH. The pH level can be adjusted with a water ionizer between 7.5 and 9.9, which is the highest pH that it should be consumed. All disease thrives in an acid environment in the body and will not flourish and thrive in an alkaline environment. If we acidify

Review
This book IS the definitive guide to the world's healthiest substance. Ionized water is one of the great health breakthroughs of all time and yet it has been almost entirely ignored in the West. Here, finally, is a book that says everything you will ever need to know about why you need to drink ionized water. --Ryan McDowell

From the Publisher
ORP is the single most important term we need to become familiar with if we want to understand human health and this is the only book ever written that declares this fact and explains it so the average person can easily understand it. ORP is everything and finally a book has been written that explains it for us all. A person's ORP level, although quite difficult to determine reliably, would instantly reveal whether they are in a state of health or disease. ORP is another way to measure the body's vibration. Everything in the universe vibrates. When we are healthy we vibrate within a certain frequency range. If we are sick, we will vibrate at a completely different frequency range, one that reflects our state of unhealthiness or disease.

At 49, I personally am not in physical decline, in large part because I regularly drink Ionized Water. What the rest of my diet is comprised of also determines my current biological age quotient. The cells that make up my body are more active, productive, communicative and functional than those I had when I was supposedly in my prime 30 years ago, although given my health warrior lifestyle I'm definitely in my prime now. The great thing is that 10 years from now I'll still be in my prime and look back at how much healthier I am then compared to today.

ORP is a measurement of a substance's ability to either reduce or encourage the oxidation of another substance. When we consume raw foods, they reduce the oxidation of our bodies. Thus, raw foods rejuvenate us. Raw foods are also negatively charged. Cooking raw foods oxidizes them, thus raising their ORP. And when we consume cooked foods, we add to the oxidation of our bodies and accelerate the aging process. Cooked foods burn us up internally by stimulating oxidation since they themselves have already been oxidized with a positive ORP of +400 or higher. Animal protein, fried foods, soft drinks and other highly processed foods possess the highest ORP and therefore greatest amount of hydrogen (positive) ions. A high ORP is an environment where disease thrives because it is also a high acid (low pH) environment. To reduce this oxidation, this slow-burning fire within us, we must consume substances that possess a negative charge such as Ionized Water and raw fruits and vegetables. When we do, the consuming fire of high ORP is extinguished.

The principals of ORP are the same for Ionized Water. The positive ORP of Acid Ionized Water increases oxidation because it contains hydrogen ions (missing electrons), which is the environment of all disease. The negative charge of Alkaline Ionized Water reduces oxidation because it contains hydroxyl ions (extra electrons), which is an environment that leads to health.

Consuming Ionized Water bathes the interior of the body in a negatively charged liquid, which promotes rejuvenation of each bodily system at a cellular level. For instance, a liver cell is better able to repair itself in a negative ion, alkaline environment than a positive ion, acid environment. When we consume negatively charged substances such as Ionized Water this oxidation is retarded and our body's cells are in a better position to repair and rejuvenate themselves. Nothing is better for the body.

From the Author
I am considered a "crank" by some, which is aptly defined by Mark Twain as "a person with a new idea until it succeeds." Without fail, there are those who attempt to debunk great advances in every scientific field and Ionized Water is no exception. Debunkers suggest that the ionization of water simply isn't possible. One debunker states that Ionized Water should be dismissed simply because it is too good to be true. Others state that ionization is impossible to verify when in fact its properties are demonstrated using scientific measuring devices such as pH and ORP meters because the changes that ionization produce are radical, immediate and measurable.

What health debunkers do best is plant doubt in our minds when we are trying to search out the truth about breakthrough health devices. It's easy to be a skeptic. It's difficult to blaze trails and fly in the face of every conventional thought and precept science has established. Debunkers have a chilling effect on open debate because of the way they often scoff at the technologies they are challenging. Their attack on new health technologies that have not been conducted, sanitized and approved by the medical establishment often extends to the promoter of the new invention. They become the focus of derision much the way Galileo was when he claimed the Sun was the center of the Solar System, not the Earth. Debunkers ridicule those who have found a new path, uncovered a new truth and consequentially have surpassed an old belief system. The water ionizer is a prime example of this kind of attack that stifles progress.

Great insight into ionized water and it's background
Reading this book was very helpful in trying to sort out all the information that is on the internet about water ionizers and the history of ionized water. We had researched quite a bit online but it was mostly companies selling machines and controversy concerning "Kangen" water. Details in the book describe how and where ionized water started, and Bob McCauley's involvement, along with his father, in the introduction of ionized water in the US. Very interesting... we discovered he had a website (he had a sticker on the book with that info) and we were able to buy a water ionizer from him at a reasonable price... we also learned about a magnetizer that replaces a soft water system that we had been using for years... it takes no maintenance, no salt, no upkeep, and it's a lifetime warranty... and much cheaper than a soft water system... well worth looking into... it produces "soft" water which is what we wanted but without the use of salt and doesn't remove minerals... and to use a water ionizer you want minerals in the water otherwise the electrolysis won't work... very impressed with this book and all the information included...

Not Found Anywhere in Nature, Viktor Schauberger would be Appalled
Acid & Alkaline, Yin & Yang. Nature is all about balance not extremes. This book is not grounded in science or Nature. Within the human body there are multiple pH levels (saliva, urine, blood, inside the cells verses outside the cells, the stomach verses the small intestinal tract verses the large intestinal tract, etc.) The statement that "ALL disease thrives in an acid environment" is completely "false" and unfounded in science. In traditional Chinese medicine, taking strong YANG herbs (like alkaline water), for too long, will overheat and burn the body out; in fact YIN based herbs are considered much more anti-aging and are associated with longevity. Ultimately, Nature is all about balance and this is where true health can be found, not within extremes. Taking extremely Yang or Yin based herbs is only recommended (TCM) for short periods of time and that is how these water alkalizers should be used as well.

Why is it that natural foods on our planet (edible: grains, herbs, fruits, & vegetables) ALL have an ACIDIC pH? Why is it that ALL "healthy" rivers, streams, brooks, creeks and springs have an ACIDIC pH? If one were to look at Professor Louis Claude Vincent's original work (in French) (who developed the Biological Terrain Assessment) he stated "the highest mortality rates were from areas with water that had a pH ABOVE 7. The "higher" the pH and the more calcium within the water the higher the mortality rates (meaning people were dying sooner). Viktor Schauberger was curing cancer (among many other diseases) with water that had an acidic pH as found in Nature.

YANG based herbs (like alkaline water) are not evil and have very important users but must be used with caution and for short periods of time. I could list all the incredible things that strong YANG herbs can do (as this book promotes with alkaline water), which would certainly sound miraculous as they can be; BUT any "good" herbalist would know the danger of promoting the consumption of ONLY yang based herbs as is drinking alkaline water. Alkaline water is "extremely" YANG, which can have many great uses but should NOT be used for long periods of time unless one wants to die of a stroke/heart attack. If I told an educated person to go into their garden and simply eat DIRT for their daily mineral requirements, I would be laughed at (I would hope); BUT drinking alkaline water, which this book promotes, is exactly the same because both are nothing more than inorganic minerals. As human beings we can utilize covalent bonds and some ionic bonds but we are not plants and our cells can not and will not utilize dirt or rocks. Folks, please heed this warning and do NOT be fooled with anything that is NOT found within Nature or science.

WOW!
This is such a great book. I have been researching ionized water for the past few months and finally I got some real answers. I was sort of on the fence about whether I wanted a water ionizer and now I have to have one. This book is an excellent guide to ionized water and water in general. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about water, especially ionized water.
