Water, Water Everywhere, but What Am I to Drink?
If you really seek truth, it must be sought without bias. That means there must be no hidden agenda. That means there is no hidden profit motive. That means there is no resistance or egotistic bristling when a former position’s error has been revealed.
Like any scientist, we begin with a hypothesis. Assuming we are sincere, we test that hypothesis over and over again. No matter what the factual findings reveal, we joyously accept them. Now we have found a truth.
So what type of water are you to drink? If you’re reading this, most likely you’ve already concluded that city tap water is poison. Perhaps in a startling revelation you concluded that you didn’t think it healthy to drink chlorinated, decomposed toilet paper. What?! You don’t think drinking recycled water is safe? And you’re fed up with lies about how safely water travels from toilet to tap? Now you’ve become such a radical health nut that you dare to complain about the four thousand or so carcinogens in that same water? Imagine that!
After reviewing the options for drinking water, the brilliant water researcher Dr. Patrick Flanagan concluded that distilled water was the best. He said that given a choice of the above waters, we would choose distilled water over cationic water. This is because it does not disturb the charge on colloids in the blood system.
Cationic refers to positive harmful ions found in most alternatives to tap water. Dr. Flanagan said the best water is distilled water to which high zeta colloids and anionic electrolytes have been added. In recent years, other researchers have developed water machines that convert the harmful positive charge to a negative anion. This is commonly referred to as ionized water.
Sounds pretty nifty, doesn’t it? But, darn it! I’m still stuck on that image of 4000 or so carcinogens and drinking decomposed tampons mixed with toilet paper. I know, I know, the filters… Read the rest of this entry »

10 Reasons Why You Should Drink Ionized Alkaline Water
Under normal circumstances, the body’s pH levels naturally run slightly alkaline. Most Americans’ bodies are overly acidic because of our poor diet filled with acid producing overly processed foods. Because of this, many health professionals suggest that we drink alkalized water.
Here are 10 reasons why you should consider drinking alkaline ionized water to change your pH levels:
1. Alkalized water provides a way to help the body restore it’s natural alkaline pH.
It helps to keep your body ph levels balanced which helps keep the body running in optimal condition. Ionized water helps reduce many symptoms of aging and increases energy.
2. Overly acidic bodies promote disease. Alkaline pH levels help fight disease, so drinking alkaline water helps you stay healthier. As a natural antacid, alkaline water can reduce acid reflux and help neutralize the acidity in the body to prevent sickness and some chronic diseases.
3. Drinking alkalized water promotes weight loss. Micro-structured water is easier for the body to metabolize and helps with losing weight.
4. Alkaline water is rich in antioxidants! Micro-structured water attacks free radicals through powerful antioxidant properties. Medical studies show that alkaline ionic water has powerful antioxidant properties– even better than vitamins A, C, E, beta carotene and selenium.
Regular tap and bottled water have a positive ORP – molecules that oxidize our tissues and and accelerate aging. Only alkaline water has a negative ORP – the antioxidant molecules we need.
5. Ionized alkaline water is living water. An ionizer does more than filter; it changes the structure of water to an ionized state, which makes it easier for the body’s cells to absorb. Living water is water with a natural hexagonal, snowflake-like geometric structure of hexagonal crystal. Living water is found in healing springs around the world, and that this geometrical structure is what gives the water its healing properties.
Filtered, distilled, tap and bottled spring water do not have this crystal structure. There is no electrical charge, so they are dead, which is why they are not as easily absorbed into your cells.
6. You are actually rehydrating your body with ionized water. Your body will be up to six times more hydrated with alkaline water than when drinking dead water. Hydration helps the body function better and increases your energy levels.
7. Alkalized water is anti-aging and helps with your skin. Effective hydration helps your skin look healthier and the body detox easier. There are many anti-aging properties in alkaline water, like antioxidants, oxygen, alkaline minerals, and the very structure of the water itself.
8. You flood your body with oxygen when you drink alkaline water! Green juices and alkaline water are best way to do this. Alkalized water has extra oxygen – one oxygen atom for every one hydrogen (OH) whereas ordinary water has two hydrogen atoms (H2O)– more hydrogen, so more acid.
9. Ionized alkaline water is better for cooking and food preparation. It makes your coffee and tea healthier and taste better. Vegetables simmered in it retain their natural texture and color, and rice and oats are fluffier when boiled in it. You also get better absorption of nutrients from foods you eat when they are prepared with it.
10. Many alkaline water drinkers report that they have more clarity of mind and energy because of the extra oxygen that ionized water supplies.
Drinking pure ionized alkaline water is not an excuse to continue to eat in an unhealthy manner or avoid getting medical attention, but it is an important step to take toward wellness. Micro-structured water supports the body’s ability to heal itself and maintain an alkaline pH within the body.
Alkalized water can not be bottled because it rapidly looses the negative charge over a period of several days. This is why it is important to buy a home ionizing machine.

Concerns over Plastic Water Bottles Cause Growing Number of Consumers to Drink Alkaline Water
A growing number of consumers are drinking alkaline water instead of bottled water. In years past, American’s have spent as much as $15 billion dollars on bottled water; however that number is declining as people begin to question safety of the chemicals used during the manufacturing process of plastics. It’s the chemicals that are used to produce the plastic goods we use to store and serve our food and beverages that have people worried.
In fact, an increasingly large body of evidence is helping us to understand that these chemicals are carcinogenic and toxic to our body. In addition, research shows that these chemicals are leaching into our food and beverages, including water. We then ingest the toxins directly… Read the rest of this entry »
DIY Water Filters – How Important is to Drink Pure Water?
Some time ago I have discovered how polluted the tap water is in many developed countries, not just in the States. The water contains many harmful chemicals and toxins, bacteria and parasites.
After I saw this, I just couldn’t make myself to drink tap water. I had to look for alternatives. The tap water has a high concentration of heavy metals and toxins and they can make you sick really bad. Old people and kids are very susceptible to tap water induced diseases.
The bottled water I thought it is the perfect solution. That till I realized how much money I was spending on it. Also, the bottled water has no restrictions on how it has to be filtrated, so you have no guarantees that it is safe. The truth be told, I thought it will be extremely complicated to make a filter that could be as effective as those expensive ones but after I started using it I’ve realized it’s just as good.
That as the moment when I decided to use a water filtration system at home. But high quality filters are quite expensive. The price is a few hundred dollars. I had to have an alternative to this. I researched on how to make my own water filtration system. And I discovered it wasn’t that hard.
Now, the water we are drinking is fresh, tasty and pure. The filter I have built doesn’t eliminate completely the minerals. We manage to stay healthy by using it. I hope this small article has made you understand the importance of drinking pure water and that making a home filter is not that hard. All you need to do it a little research, have a small amount of money and a bit of dedication.

Drink Alkaline Water, Cure Or Prevent a Host of Ills
Researchers across the world are taking note of the ways a body’s alkaline or acid content can affect overall health. For several decades, Japanese researchers have suggested that many adult degenerative diseases, such as arthritis, high blood pressure, diabetes, gout, indigestion, osteoporosis, cancers, and cardiac disorders may be attributed to an accumulation of acids in the body and poor cell circulation. They believe that even asthma, migraine headaches, back pain, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, morning sickness, angina and constipation may be relieved by raising alkaline levels in the body.
Proponents of alkaline water claim it works in two ways. First, the pH in our body ranges from zero to 14, with one through six being acidic, 7.0 being neutral, and above seven being alkaline. Studies have indicated that the closer your pH is to 7.35 – 7.45, the higher your level of health and well being and the higher your ability to resist the onset of disease.
Our bodies’ natural systems work to keep the blood and fluids surrounding our cells at a slightly alkaline level. However, when we digest and burn food to provide energy, the waste products left behind are acidic. In an optimal world, we rid our bodies of these acidic wastes immediately….
