Is is all right for children to drink Ionized Water?
Absolutely. It naturally gives children tremendous amounts of oxygen that helps their bodies function efficiently, as it does with everyone who drinks it. Having extra amounts of oxygen in our blood also naturally helps us to fight disease and build a strong immune system.
Is there anyone who should not drink Ionized Water?
No. However, some people must start by drinking only a glass or two of Alkaline Ionized Water, per day. This is especially true of the elderly who often have unfortunately allowed heavy metals and other toxins to accumulate in their bodies. Sometimes from years of medication which has accumulated in their bodies as well.
Can a person become too Alkaline from drinking Ionized Water?
People have been known to drink as much as 1 to 2 gallons or more of Ionized Water every day and gotten great benefit from it. And they have not become too Alkaline. On the contrary, one of the most common imbalances people have
today that leads to health problems is that they are too acidic. Our body pH should be approximately 7.4 The more acidic we are, meaning a 6.6 pH or lower, the greater opportunity we have provided disease to flourish in us. A low body pH creates an environment in our bodies which is conducive to diseases such as arthritis, cancer, etc to flourish. You can observe that people who are very sick always have a very low body pH. (Not healthy blood pH, which is always stable around 7.4) The sicker they are, the lower the body pH. Diseases will further create this acidic condition in our bodies in order to better thrive.
What exactly is Ionized Water?
Ionization simply means to gain or loose an electron. Water that has been ionized becomes either alkaline or acidic, meaning that the pH has been adjusted up or down. Alkaline water is full of Hydroxyl ions. This is the water we drink that has the many Health Benefits described below. Acidic water is full of Hydrogen ions. This is water that we apply only to the outside of our body. It is also great for plant growth.
How does the Water Ionizer produce ionized water?
Water is run over positive and negative electrodes, which ionizes the water. It is then separated into alkaline and acidic water as it passes through membranes. This is accomplished by repelling the water now that it has been “charged” into positive and negative ions.
Is Alkaline Water and Alkaline Ionized Water the same thing?
No. This is a common misconception and a big source of confusion for people who are just learning about the wonderful benefits of drinking this water. Basically there are no health benefits to drinking “alkaline water” only “alkaline ionized water” has the health benefits. Why? Any water can be made alkaline by adding minerals to it. You can take tap water or bottled water and place baking soda in it and raise the PH above 7.0 thus making it alkaline, but it will not have any health benefits and may even be harmful. On the contrary, alkaline ionized water is created by the process of water electrolysis inside the water ionizer machine. This is what happens where the plates are located in the machine. All of the medical research done which provides proof of alkaline water benefits has been done on the “reduced water” aka “electrolyzed reduced water” aka “alkaline ionized water” which comes from the water electrolysis processes like that inside the water ionizer machine. None of this research has been done on simple “alkaline water” which is just water that has minerals added to it to raise the PH. Simply adding minerals and raising PH will not give you any health benefits.
What is Water Electrolysis?
Water electrolysis a scientific process which creates alkaline ionized water by using an electromagnetic field (electricity) to manipulate the water molecule and incorporate the beneficial properties found in ionized water. The source water is separated into two components in the water electrolysis process by separating the alkaline and acidic minerals in the tap water. One output is the alkaline ionized water and the other output is the acidic ionized water. In all water ionizer machines there are always two water streams coming out when the machine is in use, and this is why. This is also why water ionizers work differently from location to location, because the mineral content in the source water varies from place to place, it is not uniform. Some areas have soft water with low mineral content while other areas have hard water with high mineral content. The more mineral content in the source water the better the water ionizer machine will perform because the water electrolysis process uses the minerals to create the alkaline and acidic water streams. If you have soft water your water ionizer will still work although it may not reach its maximum potential. If you have hard water your water ionizer will usually outperform the manufacturer stated PH and ORP ranges. If you have average mineral content you can expect your water ionizer to meet the manufacturer stated specifications. This is why they work differently in different locations because the mineral content varies. Some companies like Kangen Enagic use an electrolysis enhancer solution which contains minerals and chemicals to make the strong alkaline Kangen water and the strong acidic Kangen water. Kangen is the only company which uses this solution and all the other companies have shied away from “electrolysis enhancer” because of the potential for chemicals to get into the drinking water. Generally speaking people confuse alkaline water and alkaline ionized water as the same thing because everyone (even myself) use the words interchangeably to mean the same thing, when in fact they do not mean the same thing as I explained above. In addition Kangen is the biggest brand of water ionizer but the majority of their sales force are just your average “mom” or “pop” who purchased into the multi level marketing plan which Enagic uses. These people now own a Kangen water ionizer and are trying to sell one to you by giving you free water or holding meetings. The unfortunate thing is that most of these people are not professionals or experts in this industry are just your “average Joe” looking to make a sale. Thus they cannot give you the best advice since they are not experts and if you read through this website I bet you will then be able to come up with questions to which Kangen has not yet given then answers or rebuttals for.
Is Kangen Water the best?
No. The fact is that although Kangen / Enagic is the biggest and most well known brand, that is where the value of their product ends. If you look at the comparisons chart you will see many machines from many brands outclassing Kangen for much less. This is because Kangen is a multi level marketing company, like those Tupperware salesmen that used to go to peoples houses in the 50’s. This kind of door to door in person selling is very expensive and the cost is shifted onto the customer. This is why the Kangen SD501 is $4000 and other better machines are half that price. In the day and age of the internet multi level marketing has gone the way of the dinosaur and it is very rare to see a company still utilizing this selling method. It is perhaps because the water ionizer is mostly unheard of or “NEW” to many in the US and since the water does provide health benefits which people can experience within about 1 month of drinking the water people will pay a high price for the machine since they consider it a health improving device. In addition it is very important to look at the demographic of the water ionizer customer. It is mostly middle class to upper middle class Americans above the age of 35 with a significantly large portion of the customer base age 50+ Most people I have spoken with above the age of 50 not even considering those above the age of 65 have no idea how the internet works and how to utilize it to conduct research or to learn. They still live in the “pre-information age” and are easy prey for Multi Level Marketing Based sales forces. I mean, if it cost more, and they tell you it cost more because it is better, then it must be the best and that is why it cost more? Correct?
Why should I drink Ionized Water?
There are three main benefits to Ionized Water. First and foremost, it is a powerful antioxidant. People spend hundreds of dollar a month purchasing antioxidants because they are anti-disease, anti-aging, anti-cancer, which they
accomplish through neutralizing free radicals. Free Radical damage causes us to age and causes diseases. Since Ionized Water is a liquid antioxidant, it is easily absorbed into the body which makes it a much more effective and powerful antioxidant. Once the Ionized Antioxidant in the form of Hydroxyl Ions (oxygen molecule with an extra electron) donates its extra electrons to free radicals (oxygen molecule that is missing one electron) you are left with lots of oxygen. Ionized Water gives you Energy by providing your body with free oxygen molecules! This is one of the most incredible aspects of Ionized Water!
Secondly, Ionized Water Balances body pH because it is very alkaline. Our diet is often extremely acidic . Soft drinks, fast foods & processed foods deposit acid waste in our bodies that builds up over time and creates an ideal environment for diseases of all kinds to thrive. Look at any cancer patient for instance and their bodies are invariably acidic to some degree. Maintaining an alkaline pH helps us to maintain an environment in our bodies that is NOT conducive to disease. Ionized Water, because of its alkaline properties, will flush acid waste from our bodies. Ionized Water is meant to work as a preventative measure, however if you are ill with any disease it always helps to stay Alkaline.
Thirdly, Ionized Water has a different molecular cluster size. It contains only five to six water molecules instead of the ten to thirteen that conventional water molecule clusters have. It has changed from an irregular shape that is 10 to 13 molecules in size to a hexagonal regular shape that is half the size. This smaller or “reduced” water is much more hydrating than conventional water because the water clusters are smaller our cells can absorb them more readily. There are two consequences of this. First, Ionized Water is much more hydrating than conventional water and, second, it is extremely detoxifying. The detoxification
properties of Ionized Water are powerful and astounding. They simply cannot be ignored. A Water Ionizer has different levels of intensity because the average person cannot start out drinking strongly ionized Water. This is particularly true of the elderly, who need to start out at the lowest level and work their way up slowly. If you are just learning about the potential health benefits of drinking this water, customer testimonials / firsthand water ionizer reviews will help you get a feeling for and understanding of the potential health benefits to be realized by drinking it everyday.
How does Ionized Water taste compared with conventional water?
A common remark regarding the taste of Ionized Water is that it tastes smoother than conventional water. This is because of the molecule cluster size and shape. Since it small and regular shaped, it feels smooth because it is. It also does not fill you up and bloat you the way conventional water can do if you drink a lot of it at once.
How Long does Ionized Water stay Ionized?
The Antioxidant (hydroxyl ions) will last approximately 18 to 24 hours.
The Higher pH (alkaline properties) will last approximately one week.
The smaller molecule cluster size will last approximately 1 to 2
months.
Does Ionized Water have any negative effects?
Absolutely none, as long as it is used properly. Only the alkaline water should be consumed. NEVER DRINK THE ACIDIC WATER. We have never seen a single negative effect from Ionized Water, either alkaline or acidic, as long as it is used properly.
Who should drink it?
Anyone and everyone, young and old, human or animal. It is beneficial to some degree to nearly everyone and everything it comes in contact with.
How should I start drinking it?
Start out slow at level one, drinking 4 to 8 glasses per day on the weaker settings. Your water ionizer machine will have different alkaline settings such as weak,medium, strong etc exactly for this purpose. If the water agrees with you, increase the amount you drink and the level of Ionization intensity. The stronger, the better, but take your time in building up to the higher levels. Most machines are pre-set to operate at a maximum PH level of 10 and an ORP of about -400 for the new users. People who have already been drinking ionized alkaline water for years may drink at higher PH levels than 10 and many people even cook with the higher pH water of 11 etc. For example, when you brew coffee you can make it less acidic by brewing with higher PH water around 11, the same goes for boiling pastas etc. For the new user however these very high pH ranges should not be consumed for drinking purposes. If you start consuming Ionized water significantly above the lower pH levels to quickly it is considered improper use and can lead to headaches, dizziness and other more serious complications. You will of course experience more energy at the higher, tolerable levels, and the fresher the Ionized Water is, the stronger these properties are. The detoxification is STRONG and unmistakable, and even VISIBLE.
Scientific Proof of Alkaline Ionized Water Benefits
To understand how ionized alkaline water benefits your body one needs to read the research done by scientist on the water. Many scientific studies have been conducted to investigate just how drinking ionized water can give one beneficial effects every day. Since any water with a PH value greater than 7.0 can be called alkaline water, there is a huge misconception by the public on this water, and one which is used vehemently to exploit them. Companies take advantage of this misconception and sell products like higher ph alkaline bottled water or even mineral adding filters or baking soda additives for people to put into their drinking water to raise it's ph and make it alkaline. This does not deliver any health benefits and can even give you health problems like kidney stones or other diseases. Before you can understand what health benefits drinking this water may give you, you should first learn about the different ways people can make alkaline water & alkaline ionized water, which one is beneficial and which one is not. To be clear alkaline ionized water is produced through the water electrolysis process that creates "reduced water" with a higher PH value (note that anything greater than 7.0 can be considered alkaline water).
The term Reduced Water is used because once it goes through the Electrolysis Chamber it comes out with restructured molecules. This creates an abundance of active hydrogen molecules (negatively charged) that will seek out, bond with, and neutralize harmful Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) molecules (positively charged) more commonly known as free radicals. ROS molecules can result from simple metabolism or from other sources, like Oxidative Stress, and they can cause significant damage to our bodies, even "damaging DNA, RNA, proteins, and contributing to the physiology of aging." (Reactive Oxygen Species, Lee MY). This is why "drinking ionized water has demonstrated anti-aging effects as well as prevention of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, ulcers, arteriosclerosis, atopic diseases, Parkinson's disease and even pigmentary degeneration of retina." (Shirahata, Animal Cell Technology: Basic And Applied Aspects , Ohmori K , Vorobjeva NV.- Ionized water benefits microflora in the intestinal track , Koufman JA, Johnston N- Benefits of PH 8.8 Alkaline Water for the treatment of Acid Reflux Disease ).
Many Diseases Such As Obesity & Inflammatory Bowel Disease Could Be Caused By An Imbalance In The Human Microbiome
Did you know that in a healthy adult human body there are 10 times more bacterial cells than there are human cells which make up the organs and tissues in the body! We owe our lives and health to these bacteria which live within us. Up until recently, technology was too primitive to analyze and categorize these organisms. Now scientist are beginning the arduous process of discovering what these bacteria do and the interactions they have within our body. Researcher "Daniel Frank from the University of Colorado, Boulder is part of a team investigating the bacteria in the human digestive tract and the role they play in inflammatory bowel disease. His team has found significant shifts in the microbial populations in the gut of people suffering from the disease compared to those of healthy subjects, including the loss of protective bacterial populations in those people suffering from inflammatory bowel disease"(ScienceDaily).
Researcher "Ruth Ley from the Washington University in St. Louis has discovered that obesity was associated with changes in the abundance of certain types of bacteria which live in the human digestive tract. Due to such large numbers of different species of bacteria living within the human body, and the fact that their byproducts are found in most human bodily fluids, and the evidence for their role in health it is possible that understanding and mapping the human microbiome will prove to be more important to understanding human health than mapping the human genome, and it will be quite more complex and difficult due to the countless roles they may play"(ScienceDaily).
Many consumers of alkaline ionized water from Bawell water ionizers have reported beneficial effects for their Gastrointestinal disorders with nearly all overweight and obese people reporting that they have lost fat weight within the first month of drinking at least 8 glasses of antioxidant rich ionized water daily. In previous medical research, scientist attributed similar potential beneficial effects to alkaline ionized water made by water electrolysis. In the medical research study "On the Stimulation of growth of Anaerobic Microflora in the intestinal tract of humans by electrolyzed reduced water it was found that friendly gut bacteria grew when exposed to electrolyzed reduced water produced in electrolysis devices with -ORP values between 0 and -300mV. Drinking alkaline ionized water favors the growth of friendly residential microflora in the gut"(Electrolyzed Water Benefits Gut Bacteria).
While it is clear that the bacteria within the human body play vital roles in maintaining human health. The fact that electrolyzed reduced water benefits these bacteria provides proof of one of the many health improving benefits you can gain by drinking electrolyzed reduced water from a Bawell alkaline water ionizer electrolysis machine.
Scientific Proof Validated by Medical Research Studies on The Health Benefits of Drinking Alkaline Ionized Water
Scientific Proof Relating to Prevention and Destruction of Cancer Cells
Many medical studies have proven alkaline ionized drinking waters anti cancer benefits as scientist discovered "electrolyzed reduced waters ability to act as an antioxidant protecting against oxidative damage to DNA, RNA, and protein"(Lee MY, Kim YK, Ryoo KK, Lee YB, Park EJ). Further medical research discovered the water improves the body's ability to destroy cancer cells by "enhancing induction of mitochondrial damage and cell death of human leukemia HL-60 cells"(Tsai CF, Hsu YW, Chen WK, Ho YC, Lu FJ). Scientist also discovered that ionized drinking water slows the growth of tumor cells by interrupting the growth of blood cells within the tumors. This discovery was published in an article titled "Inhibitory effect of electrolyzed reduced water on tumor angiogenesis"(Ye J, Li Y, Hamasaki T, Nakamichi N, Komatsu T, Kashiwagi T, Teruya K, Nishikawa R, Kawahara T, Osada K, Toh K, Abe M, Tian H, Kabayama S, Otsubo K, Morisawa S, Katakura Y, Shirahata S). Additional research showed that alkaline ionized drinking water aids in preventing formation of cancer cells by "Suppressing Promotion of Two-stage Cell Transformation"(Nishikawa R, Teruya K, Katakura Y, Osada K, Hamasaki T, Kashiwagi T, Komatsu T, Li Y, Ye J, Ichikawa A, Otsubo K, Morisawa S, Xu Q, Shirahata S).
Scientific Proof of Alkaline Ionized Drinking Water's Anti-Diabetic Health Benefits
Medical research has proven the anti-diabetic effects of drinking alkaline ionized water since drinking this water "significantly reduced the blood glucose concentration and improved glucose tolerance"(Kim MJ, Kim HK) in type 1 and type 2 diabetes cases. Medical scientist have even advocated its use as an anti-diabetic agent after discovering that "Electrolyzed Reduced Water (ERW) with Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) scavenging ability reduced the blood glucose concentration, increased blood insulin level, improved glucose tolerance and preserved beta-cell mass in db/db mice. The present data suggest that ERW may protects beta-cell damage and would be useful for antidiabetic agent"(Kim MJ, Jung KH, Uhm YK, Leem KH, Kim HK). In addition "long-term ingestion of ARW resulted in a reduction in the levels of glucose, triglycerides, and total cholesterol in the blood"(Dan Jin, Sung Hoon Ryu, Hyun Won Kim, Eun Ju Yang, Soo Jung Lim, Yong Suk Ryang, Choon Hee Chung, Seung Kyu Park, Kye Jae Lee). Further medical research discovered that drinking reduced water prevents Alloxan induced cell damage which causes type 1-diabetes mellitus. Scientist conducting the study concluded "These results suggest that Reduced Water protects pancreatic beta-cells from alloxan-induced cell damage by preventing alloxan-derived ROS generation. Reduced Water may be useful in preventing alloxan-induced type 1-diabetes mellitus"(Li Y, Nishimura T, Teruya K, Maki T, Komatsu T, Hamasaki T, Kashiwagi T, Kabayama S, Shim SY, Katakura Y, Osada K, Kawahara T, Otsubo K, Morisawa S, Ishii Y, Gadek Z, Shirahata S).
Seeing the Benefits
Ionized water benefits the body in many ways especially for diabetic patients since medical research has shown its ability to "significantly reduced the blood glucose concentration and improve glucose tolerance"(Kim MJ) in diabetes mellitus cases. Anti cancer research into alkaline waters benefits has shown that "inhibitory effects have also been observed in the growth of tumor and cancer cells"(Nishikawa R, Komatsu T).
In addition to these medically researched health benefits the water clusters produced inside the electrolysis chamber in your water ionizer machine are micro-clustered. Meaning they possess 4 to 6 H2O molecules per cluster compared to the normal 12 to 24 molecules per cluster in tap, bottled, and distilled water. These reduced size water clusters are easier for your bodies cells to absorb through their cell walls and allow for two to three times faster re-hydration over all other drinking water sources. The smaller sized water clusters also help to detoxify and cleanse your body. In fact when you drink alkaline ionized water you will notice its light smooth texture which allows it to go down faster and easier than ordinary water which has a solid flat texture. Drinking ionized water is the perfect complement to any alkaline diet especially those based on balancing the alkaline balance in the body.
Use the acidic water produced by your machine as great chemical free disinfectant which can be used to wash off bacteria and pesticides from fruits and vegetables. In fact research has shown "electrolyzed water is up to 80 times more effective at killing pathogens than chlorinated water and it does this without the toxicity"(Electrolyzed Water).
With all these advantages over an ordinary drinking water filter system, having an alkaline water machine in your kitchen will not only give you many health benefits from drinking the water it also supplies a simple chemical free way to sterilize and "kill food-borne bacteria such as salmonella, E.coli, and listeria"(CNN, Liu C) when preparing meals in your home. Please read the additional health benefits below that will soon be yours when you connect a water ionizer to your kitchen tap.
