Dr Andrew Jones was robbed by the “establishment”

Yes, friends, big brother, and those who oppose natural healthy alternatives for your pet has robbed Dr. Andrew Jones of his career in British Columbia.  They robbed him by forcing him to pay $30,000 in fines because of what he had written is his book that he gives away for free online by being too self lauditory because he cares for animals HEALTH too much.  Simply, how to keep your pet healthy!?   He resigned to avoid these penalties.

I’m amazed, perplexed, and disappointed there are people in this world who think that MEDICINAL is NATURAL or is BETTER and worse ILLEGAL to even talk about?  

Whoa, what is this world coming to when the “veterinary establishment” for animals are against good healthy practices by advertising and talking about how to really help your animals.  Here is the controversial book by Dr. Andrew Jones.  Be forewarned, they are secrets…shh.  Don’t tell anyone…be careful, you may be fined as well just for reading it and discovering how cancer is killing your animals and how a healthy diet can help your pet! 

Veterinary Secrets Revealed

Oh…shocking…brilliant…make me feel guilty!  DON’T DO IT!  Really…I mean, really.  

This is the college you may want to double check about going to if you are really concerned about being “good” Veterinarian and not losing your license to practice.  College of Veterinarians of British Columbia in North Vancouver, BC.  A BC Veterinary Medical Association spokesperson Dr. Ken Gummeson, stated on Global BC television, “Oh, he can express his opinions as much as he likes, just he’s not supposed to do them self laudatory towards himself or derogatory towards other members of his profession.”  I guess his website and advertising was a problem…really?  Here is the TV clip talking about Dr. Jones and the controversy surrounding it.  Are they that that blind about business and advertising.  Somehow those are bad things? 

Here is an email that I think you should read from Dr. Jones.

Make your own decision…I’ve made mine.

Many, many concerned pet owners have asked me WHY I received such a harsh fine from my Veterinary College.

Well here is a statement from the Council:

“Taking into account the findings of the Inquiry Committee, the submissions to the Council by the CVBC prosecutor and the Respondent and his legal counsel, Council believes that a significant fine is needed in this case of significant misconduct to deter Dr Jones and others from repeating such conduct therefore the Council thereby orders that the following penalties and costs be imposed upon the Respondent”

It’s so high because of ‘significant misconduct’ and the need to ‘deter Dr Jones and others from repeating such conduct’

In laymans terms…set an example.

So IF you happen to NOT agree with this decision, here is a petition that you can sign:

An Alkaline Diet Can Help You

Hi everyone! 

Here is an exciting testimonial about the benefits of alkaline water ionizers that you reall need to read.  Perhaps you or someone you know is in the same type of situation.

Brian is just getting his site started called HealthAlkaline.com, so go on over to his site and comment on his articles.  He’d love to hear from you.

===========================

Hi, I’m Brian Burke. Let me introduce myself. I’m not a health professional or a doctor. What I am is a concerned citizen who cares about his fellowman, my brother’s keeper. I care about the things we eat and drink and how it’s affecting our health and lifestyle.

Several years ago I began to experience problems with my gum and teeth. No, it wasn’t because I was eating too much sweets or not brushing my teeth. In fact, I brushed at least twice a day and flossed every night. Despite that my gum was in terrible shape and the pain very comfortable. I tried everything. Visited the dentist for deep cleaning, tried natural toothpaste because I discovered that most toothpaste are loaded with chemicals harmful to your health. My situation worsened and nothing seem to help. The news my dentist gave me was that I was going to lose all my teeth soon. Of course, I didn’t believe him. I knew that God had a healing for me or He would provide another way somehow.

Then one day I had to travel to North Carolina for a Christian conference. My wife and I stayed in a beautiful cabin in the mountains, we had a great time there. Two days later, I realized my mouth felt pleasant and the pain wasn’t there. To make a long story short, throughout my stay in NC, I had no gum problems or mouth pain of any kind. However, when I came back home, everything started coming back slowly. I started to ask myself, “what was the difference between here and NC?” I recalled reading a piece of paper on the fridge of the cabin where we lodged. It was a note about the natural water of the territory and how good it is for you. Mind you, we didn’t drink it because it had sulfur in it. But we had to shower with it and, get this, brush our teeth with it. That was it! The water is the key.

The bad news is, the waters where I live in Miami are not alkaline or mineralized and as a result my mouth problems returned.

I did lots of research myself, because I refused to believe that my only solution was a big dentist bill. No, God had a different plan. My pastor, of the church I attend, began to share his testimony of how he suffered from severe gout attacks, so much so that he couldn’t walk being in unbearable pain. He discovered that gout is caused by a build up Uric Acid crystals in the joints. He learned that his body was very acidic mainly because of his diet and food. He researched that if you alkalize your body – balancing your pH from low to normal or high – and eat alkaline foods you create an environment in your body for healing. In other words, when your body is alkaline it flushes acid build up out of you.

He did exactly that and my pastor never had a problem again from gout attacks. And the same goes for me and my mouth and tooth problems.

That brings me here to Health Alkaline, trying to help you improve your health and quality of your lifestyle. The truth is, the waters we drink aren’t promoting health benefits for our physical well-being. But now you can take control over your water with the alkaline water ionizers and filters from Ionways. Scientific independent Water Ionizer tests agree that our water ionizers are the most reliable, high in quality and uses superior technology to bring you the most trusted better drinking water in the city where you life.

Join me on this journey, cheers to your health.

Non-electric ionizer by Ionways – The Naia and Spartan water filtering

This was transcribed and summarized from a phone conversation with IonWay President Jay Hare and former Technical Service Manager Joe Stumph.  My apologies, this has not been formerly edited or revised. – Brad Hamilton

Cartridge 1 Stage of the Filtration System

          Very Simple – There is a physical 5 micron membrane sediment filter and then it’s packed with centaur carbon which is the Super Hero of the carbon world.  It is absolutely the best stuff you can get your hands on as far as getting the gunk out of your water. And the reason those two are there is to simply protect and maintain the second stage filter which is really the driving motor of this type of system.  To really keep it protected and optimize it’s performance for longer amounts of time.  So the sediment is obvious up to 5 micron.  1 micron is about 1/25,000 of an inch.  So, it’s about 1/5000 of an inch.  The Centaur and the carbon that is in there is going to take care of the volatile organics; chloramines, chlorine, improve taste and odor, and it’s good for many many things.  So it’s pre-treating water so it’s not going to exhaust the second stage filter which is really where the magic of this system takes place. Centaur carbon is the only grade of carbon that can actually absorb the compound of chloramines. It is because it was activated in such a way that it is simply much more porous than traditional types of carbons that it has the ability to increase contact time which is where standard carbon fails is it if you slow it way way down, granulated carbon will get it but it get exhausted very very quickly.  For Centaur carbon, scientists found a catalytic process to where they activate it and it is about 2 ½ times more porous and it’s the pours that create the surface area and that is where it entraps the chloramines.  That is where the contaminates get trapped, in those pours. 

Cartridge 2 Stage of the Water Filtration System

is the guts and blood of this system, this is amazing and really exciting.  It’s a mixed resin bed and it’s this proprietary blend in this process this company has been using.  Every ion in the universe has a polarity, either positive or negative.  It is the same way that an ionizer works is that it physically separates.  Well they have to treat them with different medias.  Well this company has found a way to make these out of the propylene gels that is much more stable so they tend not to fragment and give off other ions back to the water.  Basically it is an exchange, so for every ion you want to remove it has to give one back into the water.  What they have done is found a cationic resin media that as it’s taking those cations in what it’s releasing is good H+ which is hydrogen.  Now the anion on it which is the acidic element is pulling those things in and it is entrapping them and what it gives off is the hydroxide, the OH-.  So as the two are finished with that filter and coming back you’ve got 2 hydrogen, 1 oxygen and you end up with H2O.  It’s is making water that is so absolutely pure it can be used in the most exhausting and demanding industry in the world for clean water which is electronics.  They can use it in pharmaceuticals and making microprocessors.  It truly is amazing. It basically takes everything that’s in there and trades it out for the molecules it needs to make water.  The media used in all the cartridges are FDA approved grade and carries NSF certification.

          What about fluoride? Activated alumina is known to remove fluoride, but not totally.  It will reduce it, but there are some severe limitations to activated alumina and removing fluoride. Activated alumina is the old standard for removing fluoride from water. What it is is aluminum oxide and it will absorb fluoride and it does if fairly well if you are looking at using it in an application it that it is designed to.  In any system that is point of use, in simple truth, the flow rates are much too fast for it to be effective.  You need a flow rate for effective reduction of less than ½ gallon a minute.  For a closer removal of 97% you are best off at .1 gallons per minute using activated alumina. You may be patient, but who is that patient for getting clean water?  If the machine is at 3 liters a minute then maybe 30% removal of fluoride is achieved with activated alumina.  The material is porous, but not very porous and it absorbs water so it expands as it’s doing that which helps to create a bigger surface area.  But in that as the water is running past it, it simply doesn’t have time to leave that deposit inside the aluminum oxide and it passes through fairly easily. 

          So how good of a job will the IonWays purification system do on fluoride?  Amazing.  This is the kind of media that anybody who has been in the water business has been searching for for so long.  It is absolutely amazing.  Fluoride is a monovalent anion, it is an acidic element, so it will instantly be drawn to these resin beads in the second filter. It will instantly be taking care of it.  When we look at fluoride, we know how dangerous it is.  There is so little of it in the water, that this type of system will do an amazing job of riding us all of the fluoride nightmare.

Cartridge 3 Stage of the Water Filtration

 What happens in kind of like reverse osmosis and the filtration is getting rid of anything that we might be concerned about in the water.  That media in cartridge 2 is so strong and does such a good job, that it can’t differentiate in what is good for us and what is bad for us. The media is simply going to take out everything. It is going to leave us with raw water that is perfect for electronic use, but not consumption.  It is devoid of minerals and nutrients which we need that are essential for our health and well being. So now we use the blends of media IonWays has been working on for many years and mastering the water remineralization technology.  We put back in 70 trace minerals which are healthy and beneficial for our bodies which we need replenished every day. 

The water remineralization technology is just going to be limited to the Spartan. The NAIA is going to go a step further and it’s going to be using the newest and most up to date groundbreaking technology coming out of Japan which is ceramic beads.  The Ceramic magnesium technologies that IonWays are using in the NAIA will help us get the redox as well to where it will get rid of the oxidizing principles and depending upon the water, it will get back to a negative ORP without every using electricity.  In addition to the beads, IonWays has gone one step further and also using a proprietary blend of new ORP media that IonWays has been testing for about 6 months now.  At 3 liters a minute, IonWays has seen some great negative ORP levels.  The way the NAIA is setup to achieve the negative is between -200 and -350 ORP at 3 liters a minute flow.  For non-electric ionization works through contact time with the ORP media, the media which drops the ORP, so think about this. You go and get a glass of water from your NAIA, and then the unit sits there for 2 or 3 hours until you come and get another liter of water.  The water in the filter has had a lot of contact time in that remin/orp cartridge, so it has achieved a really good ORP reading. Remember that is just in the first liter. You will see very decent –ORP numbers in the first liter.  Where you really want to watch for in a non-electric ionizer is after it has flowed for a while. So the real question is, where is the ORP after the first gallon?  That is where IonWays has really perfected the right media to do the best job and low ORP and Reminieralization.

Ionize Your Water without electricity. Be Green!

In response to the demand for greener and less expensive water ionization technology, IonWays is pleased to announce the environmentally friendly and cost-conscious Spartan (499.00) and Naia (599.00)!  These innovative water systems utilize some of today’s most cutting edge filtration techniques designed to bring you great tasting, super clean, and healthy water!  Both the Spartan and the Naia employ three separate specialty filters to produce purified, alkaline, and ionized water!   

Cartridge One is the same in the both the Spartan and the Naia, containing a sediment filter and centaur. The sediment filter helps to reduce particulates up to 5 microns in size, and centaur is one of the highest grades of carbon. Not your simple carbon or GAC, centaur is the premier carbon media available for the reduction of chlorine, chloramines, VOC’s, and many other drinking water concerns.  Designed for annual replacement, this filter helps to remove some of the unwanted contaminants to help to extend the life of the second stage filter.

Cartridge Two is also the same in the both models. Our IonWays Purification Cartridge uses a special blended media to virtually remove everything from the water. Here’s how it works: Every particle in nature has either a positive or negative charge. Our media works by trading bad ions for good ions using a very basic principle – polarity and attraction. What takes place is a simple exchange. The media first attracts and then traps the charged ions and then releases either a hydrogen ion (H+) or a hydroxide (OH-) depending on the polarity of the trapped particle. So once we effectively trade the ions, the remaining H+ and OH- combine, leaving us ultrapure H2O with virtually every other ion removed.

The effective life of the Purification Cartridge is entirely dependent on the qualities found in your source water. Simply put, the more particles in your water, the more quickly the media will expire – just like any filter or media. Because water quality and personal preference varies, timely replacement of this cartridge is up to the individual. We have provided a handy meter (with instructions) to let you decide when it is time to replace your Purification Cartridge. This filter can last from one month to one year.

Cartridge Three-the problem with creating water this pure is although we have removed unwanted contaminants, we no longer have any beneficial minerals. To provide you with these beneficial minerals in the third stage of these revolutionary systems, IonWays offers you the following:

The Spartan uses the IonWays Remin Max filter. The Remin Max filter uses what is called sacrificial media – which, instead of taking away from the water, gives back!  Healthy minerals such as calcium, magnesium, bi-carbonates, and over 70 organic trace elements are given back to the water through the Remin Max filter-we’ve even added KDF to help remove any unwanted heavy metals that could appear with the trace elements.

The Naia employs the exact same Remin Max filter to add back beneficial minerals to the water.  It also has an added layer of passive ionization media. This media creates the negative charge (-ORP) providing you an antioxidant potential without electricity!  Purified. Remineralized. Non-electric. Ionized. Quite possibly the closest thing you’ll find to perfect water!

Both filters are designed for annual replacement.

The water produced by the Spartan and Naia is a super-clean, free of unhealthy contaminants, and full of life enhancing minerals ideal for your well being! Best of all, these non-electric units are ready to ship, so place your orders today!

One of the more common calls our Technical Services Department receives starts something like: “I think I was sent the wrong filter!”

IonWays ionizers are sent with standard blue-gray colored filters.These are much different from the New and Improved Sediment filter and BioStone Plus replacement filters, which are an environmentally friendly, unpigmented filter, and a tad bit bigger. We’ve made a lot of improvements to these filters, especially the Biostone Plus, which is now designed not only for the reduction of chlorine and disinfectant chemicals, but also for chloramines and heavy metals!

Installing these filters is quite a simple process:

Step One: Open appropriate filter door. Filter 1 (left side)-Sediment Filter, Filter 2(right side)-Biostone Filter.

Step Two: Press straight down on top of the filter to release it from the top housing. Once it’s clear, you can lean the filter out and away from the machine to remove.

Step Three:
Athena/Delphi replacement: Remove filter cup from ionizer (sometimes the cup will come out attached to the filter). Install the new filter along with the enclosed, modified filter stand by inserting into ionizer. For easy installation, we recommend you insert the modified filter stand into the bottom of the filter first and then insert the entire filter unit into your ionizer. Note: The filter stand is only necessary for ionizers sold before August 2009.

Isis replacement: Install the new filter by inserting into ionizer. Note: The Isis does not require the modified filter stand for installation, so it should be removed from the filter prior to installation. Once the filter is placed, spin/rotate it a few times in each direction to ensure a good seal on the O-rings.

Step Five: Turn on water and allow it to flow through the ionizer for a couple of minutes. This will purge out any carbon dust or mineral particles commonly found in all new filters. This step is recommended for all new filters.
