Review by KWW Total Eco for Jupiter Athena Water Ionizer + Dual Water Filter JS205
Rating:
I bought the Jupiter Athena over one year ago and it works excellent, I get a Ph as high as 11 and I use the low Ph “acid water” as a disinfectant,for laundry,as a mouth, eye and face wash. I love the powerful detoxifying benefits of high alkaline water. Purchasing a water ionizer is one of the best investments you can make for your health, home and family.

Review by Baruch Spinoza for The Miraculous Properties of Ionized Water – The Definitive Guide to the World’s Healthiest Substance

This book has stronger positives and negatives than the typical CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine) book. The positives include a collection of the Scientific Studies of the Effects of Ionized water in Appendix 5, facts sourced throughout the book and some information presented about the topic that is little known to the general public. In addition, he does dispel some of the positive myths surrounding ionized water. For all of the above, he deserves due credit.

The negatives are unfortunately also strong. The author uses the book to promote his perspectives on living an overall health lifestyle that includes the controversial ‘raw foods diet’ along with consuming certain green foods. Any diet needs to be recommended and monitored by a qualified health professional based partly upon frequent blood test analysis. He also slams all ionized water debunkers based upon emotion rather than reason. Despite the sourcing, much of his presentation sways by emotion rather than by reason – a common trend in the CAM universe. Despite the presentation of scientific studies supporting his conclusions, he neglected some additional studies and also did not discuss the overall quality of the research. The folksy, homespun method of writing turns-off readers desiring a more science-oriented discussion and the pictures of his family and friends in the back comes across as unprofessional as it is utterly non-topical to the book. Testimonials sway the non-scientific minded (as simultanaity does not equal causality) and suggest that his argument is insufficiently supported by hard science.

As a fan of water ionization, I learned a few things but also found discussions of various topics such as water clustering, activated water, and water bond angles in regards to biological health to be incomplete at best. Overall, the book may be worth buying for some but for those who are science-minded, it is strictly at the 101 level.

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.
