Ionized water is: Water, Minerals, and Energy, Combined Thanks to the work of retired chemist Stephen Lower, we are constantly asked “is the term ‘ionized water’ meaningless to chemists?” The short answer to that question is: yes and no. Ionized Mineral Water – Science, not Snake Oil The term ‘ionized water’ is actually a misnomer – an inaccurate name – for ionized mineral water. The emphasis here is on mineral, because without minerals, water can’t be ionized! Pure water has no minerals in it, and does not exist in nature. You can’t get pure water from your tap, no matter how good your water quality is. The water you get... read more >>

Ionized Water Rinse for Food Effective against E-Coli, Salmonella, Listeria Ionized water is effective against e-Coli Ionized water has been proven by numerous studies to be an effective means of destroying many common bacteria that cause food borne illness. Tests on vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, strawberries show that bacteria such as salmonella, e-coli, and listeria are effectively neutralized by rinsing food with ionized water. Electrolyzed Oxidizing Ionized Water Chemists call the ionized water used to neutralize bacteria on food Electrolyzed Oxidizing (EO) water. The water is prepared by ionizing it with a small amount of salt... read more >>

Why healthy water is alkaline water Pure water has a pH of about 7, but pure water isn’t found in nature, and actually isn’t safe to drink. The water you normally drink has minerals dissolved in it, and those minerals largely determine the pH level of the water. Alkaline water will have higher concentrations of beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium. Water with an acidic pH will have higher concentrations of harmful minerals like lead and mercury. Most tap water has close to a neutral pH, so it is likely to be a mixture of harmful and beneficial minerals.   Is the water YOU are drinking a healthy pH? Hair analysis reveals which... read more >>

Clinical alkaline water system for scientists and doctors Clinical Alkaline Water for Doctors and Scientists Alkaline water is used in clinical settings for many reasons. Doctors use it in combination with other treatments in their practice to improve and maintain the health of their patients. Scientists use it in the laboratory to study its effects on everything from microscopic organisms to humans. The water produced in these settings often must adhere to strict standards: Must have specific amounts of minerals Must be a specific pH Must meet minimum –ORP requirements (Oxidation Reduction Potential) Must be... read more >>

Kangen® Water may contain Toxic Heavy Metals Waning: This machine may make unsafe water! Kangen® water is promoted by Enagic® Corporation as a healthier form of alkaline ionized mineral water, but is it? Information found on Enagic®’s website shows that due to inadequate filtration, Enagic®’s Kangen water®  may contain dangerous toxins. Buried in the fine print, it says: “Elements not removable – Metallic ions and/or salinity present in the original tap water.” What are Metallic Ions? Metal molecules that have taken on an electrical charge are referred to as metallic ions. Metallic ions are commonly found in tap water, and with... read more >>

No such thing as Ionized Water? Skeptics of  ionized water claim that “the term ionized water is meaningless to chemists.” But at the same time, many people claim that there are benefits of ionized water that they have experienced personally. So who’s right? They both are, and here’s why. Water itself can’t be ionized, but the minerals in it can be. That is why the term “ionized water” is meaningless to chemists, if you take the term “mineral” out of ionized mineral water it becomes meaningless, the critics are right, there is no such thing. Much of the advertising and information touting ionized water is misleading for this... read more >>

Antioxidants and alkaline water. Alkaline water produced by a water ionizer can be a great source of antioxidants and other minerals. Hard water, which is found in many areas will contain large amounts of calcium and magnesium, and will likely have many other minerals in it as well, some of those minerals, such as zinc and manganese, are antioxidants. While the filters in an ionizer work to reduce the levels of many substances found in tap water, they allow useful amounts of minerals to pass through. A water ionizer is the best way to get antioxidant minerals from water because they concentrate beneficial minerals in drinking water while rejecting... read more >>

Alkaline water can protect exposed telomeres “Core Pathway” of Aging: Harvard study Scientists at the Dana-Farber Institute (affiliated with Harvard University) have conducted research that they say has identified the root molecular cause of age-related decline. According to the senior author of the report, Ronald A. DePinho: “What we have found is the core pathway of aging connecting several age-related biological processes previously viewed as independent of each other”. The research, which was performed on mice, demonstrated that damage caused by aging could even be reversed by increasing levels of telomerase, the enzyme that... read more >>

Alkaline Water Ionizers Concentrate Essential Dietary Minerals in Drinking Water   It is a medically-accepted fact that you need minerals in your diet to maintain good health, and there are  studies which show that you can get useful amounts of essential minerals from  water. The problem with most water however, is that it is a mixture of healthy and unhealthy minerals. Alkaline Water ionizers solve the problem of unhealthy water in two important ways: Filtration – Reduces the presence of harmful substances Electrodialysis – Concentrates healthy minerals, rejects dangerous toxins What is Electrodialysis? Ionizers use a process called... read more >>

Alkaline water may prevent the horror of mercury poisoning Study shows Alkaline Water Drinkers have less Mercury in Hair Samples Numerous studies have shown that drinking alkaline water is likely to be the best way to get your minerals. Now a study called Hair Element Concentrations in Females in One Acid and One Alkaline Area in Southern Sweden from suggests that there is an additional benefit from drinking alkaline water; protection from mercury poisoning. Researchers from Lund University in Sweden compared mineral content in hair samples taken from 90 women, 47 from a region with acidic well water, 43 from a different region with alkaline well... read more >>
