They demonstrated that it was effective at preventing post-operative infection. In Europe,... read more >>

Ionized alkaline water is enhanced with these healthy benefits Alkaline ionized water is referred to in the scientific community as “reduced water” because its electro-negativity has been reduced. In other words, it has extra electrons available to disable harmful oxidative toxins like free radicals. Reduced water is also alkaline because it has a pH above 7.0. What gives the water its alkalinity is that it has a high content of alkaline minerals, primarily calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. The minerals found in alkaline water are essential for good health. Hard Water and Alkaline Minerals   Minerals like calcium and magnesium... read more >>

Post contributed by Samantha Harvey on behalf of  Glebe Dental Group Studies indicate that alkaline water may provide these benefits Can drinking alkaline ionized water improve your dental hygiene? Pure drinking water has a pH of 7.0, which means it’s neither acidic nor basic. Water you draw from the tap may be slightly acidic or basic with a pH that typically ranges from 6.5 to 9.0. Some experts believe there are disadvantages to drinking acidic water that has a pH below 7.0. Water that’s more acidic typically has higher levels of metal ions like iron and manganese and it may contain heavy metals. Acidic drinking water can erode plumbing... read more >>

Warning: If you own an Enagic® water ionizer and use the machine to make strong acid water, you face increased risk of titanium contamination in your Kangen® water. On the Enagic® website, under the “maintenance” tab, is a warning about making strong acid water with the Kangen® machine: ALWAYS allow the machine to clean itself after making strong acidic water to prevent this highly acidic substance from soaking on the plates. If this happens repeatedly without proper maintenance, the plates can eventually become damaged. (Source: Enagic® website) Acidic Damage to Enagic® Ionizer Plates Enagic® ionizer plates – dark spots are exposed... read more >>

Water from protected mountain springs has been drunk for centuries for health, healing and life extension. What do all the drinking waters from mountain springs have in common?  They are all ionized alkaline mineral waters. Why is ionized alkaline mineral water the “right” kind of water to drink? It’s because of the minerals in it, the antioxidant potential, and because your body needs water. 5 Reasons your water should be alkaline The human body is 70% water, and when the body’s water reserves dry up or become polluted, it will wither just like a plant. So it’s no surprise that drinking alkaline water is one of the simplest ways to... read more >>

The EPA allows more fluoride in water than is considered safe by health experts Recent research on causes of heart disease has revealed a link between fluoride and coronary artery disease. The study, referred to as: Association of vascular fluoride uptake with vascular calcification and coronary artery disease. Researchers examined the arteries of 61 people for signs of calcification – artery hardening due to calcium, and fluoride absorption. Connection between fluoride and heart disease described as “significant” Fluoride was detected in the vascular walls (veins) of 96% of study participants, and calcification was observed in the vascular... read more >>
