Smart Water~
In my volunteer work with the National Health Federation, one of my greatest pleasures is helping with the magazine, Health Freedom News. Between spending an hour in the Far Infrared Sauna most days and half an hour on the exercise bike, I'm getting a huge amount of reading in. So in the spirit of sharing, I wanted to include my Adytum guests with my book review that will appear in the winter issue of Health Freedom News. I am a firm believer in using structured, alkaline water to optimize health. Along with asking you - as Membership Director - to consider joining our global efforts at www.thenhf.com, I wanted to make the best ionized water unit on the market available to you at a special discount. If you're interested, give me a call or email and I'll fill you in. Enjoy the brief synopsis on Healing Waters, and as I continue to read, between guests - I will most certainly share it with you. The next book is on Vitamin D to enhance athletic performance by one of the foremost Vitamin D researchers in the country, John Cannell. When Bill Sardi visited in August he left this book for Donn and me. I wish I'd have picked it up sooner! It is fantastic as was the ionized, alkaline water book.

BOOK REVIEW
By Katherine A.
Carroll, NTP
Healing Waters: The Powerful Health Benefits of Ionized Water By
Ben Johnson, M.D., D.O., N.M.D. (ISBN 978-0-7570-0328-8; Square One Publishers,
2011; www.squareonepublishers.com;
paperback, 124 pages; $15.95)
“All water is not created equal and it is the
structure of water within our bodies that ultimately determines health or
sickness.” Dr. Mushik Jhon, Korean scientist and expert on ionized water.
Healing Waters is
an inspiring book on strategies to achieve optimum health using alkaline, ionized water. Packed with scientific studies
from around the World, it claims that ionized, alkaline water will restore the
basic foundations of health. Many of us
have read Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj’s book on the healing power of water for common
ailments, diseases, obesity – even cancer was influenced. Batmanghelidj researched while in an Iranian prison on
political prisoner charges, overstaying his sentence because his research was so
compelling.
Dr. Johnson shows how simple chronic dehydration
combined with acidosis, having a system that is acidic versus alkaline, is the
source of numerous health problems. Dr. Kancho Kinanaka, pioneer in ionized
water treatment asserts, “People with high blood pressure also suffer from
acidosis “virtually without exception.”
We are approximately 65% water in composition. Many of
our bodily processes are pH dependent so it proves a wise strategy to meet
these basic needs for proper hydration and a proper acid-alkaline pH balance.
Structurally alkalinized, ionized water is the same as
the water from mineral-rich glaciers; the same water reputed to keep the Hunzas
free of disease and extending longevity. It is known as “living water” because
it is compatible with our bodily fluids. Its smaller cluster size and hexagonal
structure enable it to travel quickly through our bodies to reach cells and tissues
for rapid assimilation. It not only hydrates, but it alkalizes and oxygenates
the body fostering optimum health.
In addition to water, oxygenation is a crucial foundation
of health. Since cancer- and disease-causing microorganisms thrive in low-oxygen,
acidic environments, focusing upon the body’s two most abundant substances- water
and oxygen, is indeed intelligent strategizing to create true health. The
beauty of this living water is that it can be made at home with a specific
ionizing unit for which Dr. Johnson provides numerous resource references.
Combined
with a healthy, alkaline-based diet, we have a strong framework to create
vibrant health and increase energy. The author delves briefly into proper food
combining, thus reducing the fermentation that adds to the body’s acidic load.
A fascinating aspect of this book reveals that
ionized, alkaline water has an oxidation reduction potential, also known as
redox potential or ORP, which is better than many common antioxidants. First he
compares it with tap water that is oxidizing with an ORP reading of +400mV to
+500mV and mineral water which is slightly better with a +200mV reading, yet is
also oxidizing. However, alkaline, ionized water reads -250mV to -350mV so it’s
plentiful in the extra electrons it needs to donate to stop free radical
activity. Understanding living water’s ORP readings creates an exciting strategic
approach to elevate immune function. Alkaline, ionized water has better
antioxidant capacity than Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and beta-carotene, which are
nearly nine times heavier than alkaline ionized water.
By keeping the body more alkaline, the blood pH
supports increased oxygenation and even prevents Alzheimer’s disease by
insuring that the brain’s required need for 20% of the body’s daily supply of
oxygen is met. The heart requires more than all other muscles, so heart disease
is prevented too.
The acid water that is dispensed out of the water-ionizing
unit mentioned in the book has had its use in homes as well as hospitals for
disinfecting and killing bacteria associated with ten of the most-common hospital
infections – even MRSA. “Most of these infectious agents were completely
deactivated within 30 seconds of being inoculated with the (acid) water; the
others were killed in 5 minutes.” This was from a 2004 Russian study.
Acid water
maintains beautiful skin and hair, is anti-aging, and combats eczema,
psoriasis, shingles and other skin problems. It improves the body’s ability to
grow healthy skin in diabetics with ulcers, heals bedsores and aids in wound
healing. Additionally, it is antibacterial for teeth and gums.
Even houseplants love it and
it’s great to clean fresh produce and rinse sprouts with.
By coalescing
foundational tactics using alkaline, ionized water combined with a balanced
diet and proper food combining, Dr. Johnson writes a compelling case for
investing in health through the inclusion of living water in our daily life.
