Ionized alkaline water is
grouped together in smaller clusters of 5-6 water
molecules instead of the 10-13 found in tap water. This
makes it "micro-clustered", meaning it will be more
quickly and easily absorbed, and will hydrate the
tissues more effectively.
The hexagonal molecular
structure resulting from electrolysis is what makes
ionized water wetter than tap or bottled water. These
smaller "hexagons" of water molecules are half as large
as the molecular chains that come out of the faucet, and
permeate cellular membranes quicker so that Alkaline
Water is more hydrating and quicker to refresh after
strenuous exercise.
This is correct. You can
measure cluster sizes with NMR, you can also
measure surface tension in dynes, with appropriate
instruments. You can taste the water is different. A
double blind test with 100 subjects: ask them to try
city tap water and the same water ionized. I bet that a
statistically significant number will say that the
ionized water is lighter, more easily absorbed. What
could account for this, it's the same water?
Alkaline water
-
Increases energy,
decreases recovery time and improves capacity
for aerobic activities.
-
"Slows the aging
process, lowers blood pressure and helps the heart
work less."
-
Neutralizes and
flushes toxins and acidic waste from your body. Your
body can focus on achieving optimal health.
-
The electrolysis
process rearranges healthy minerals that are native
to your tap water according to their electrical
charge. As a result, alkaline ionized water contains
essential calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium
minerals in a form that can be assimilated.
-
Cancer does not
thrive in an oxygenated and alkaline environment
while health does.
These
statements may be true and they are freely given by
people who gave their testimonial. I don't know what
statistical evidence there is, but it would make sense
as water is needed for every bodily function and most of
us are dehydrated.
Our bodies
are 75% water and our brain is 85%. Don't you think
the brain has to adjust and regulate bodily functions from
the hydration aspect alone?
The brain has
to compensate for dehydration. It could be argued that all
these are possible benefits from drinking water and
dehydration is the root of all disease. If you look at the
many studies, and the many health and anti-aging literature,
you have to conclude that it is possible that alkaline water
may be helpful.
The last
one was proved by Dr Warburg, for which he was awarded
the Nobel Prize for Medicine see his paper 'The
Metabolism of Tumors', London, 1930.
Beneficial uses of acidic water:
-
Natural astringent
for improving complexions. It removes skin
oil and greasy dirt without harsh chemicals.
-
Natural hair
conditioner.
-
Highly antiseptic for
cuts, abrasions, and wounds
-
Soaking in warm
acidic ionized water improves healing from athletes
foot, rashes, nail fungus infections and insect
bites

There is
no scientific evidence to support the assertions about
the existence of water clusters or its beneficial
effects on tissue hydration.
That's what
the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) measures.
If water is
more hydrating (as the measured smaller clusters would
suggest) then it will reach the cells, so benefit the
cell, otherwise it will by-pass the cells and provide
the cell with no hydration or nutrients or assist with
the waste removal.
See
comments to the left about clusters.
The diagram
on the left is incorrect and misleading. There is no way
that H2O molecules in liquid water can be stabilized or
retained in the hexagonal configuration shown.
It is no
where stated the structure is a stabilized
configuration; it is dynamic, moving configuration, like
a molecular dance. How can anything in water be stable?
Japanese and Korean scientists are not the fools that
this person appears to make them look!
There is
no credible scientific evidence for any of these
statements, which you will find only on Web sites
promoting commercial products.
I don't
think I need to read about unreadable 'credible
scientific evidence' in a scientific journal before I
decide whether or not to drink pure alkaline water. Just
a little common sense will do. People have been drinking
alkaline water from mountain springs and glacier water
sources for thousands of years, modern science is barely
a hundred years old. There are Chinese writings going
back to 5000 years ago about Taoist masters that lived
on high mountain air and spring water and had life spans
of several hundred years.
There
is no 'credible scientific evidence' that proves that
McDonalds
fast food is bad for your health or makes you fat.
All the
'credible scientific evidence' says that McDonalds food
is good for you, and there are many people that have
been made bankrupt for saying that it's not.
A Whopper
(a chemist will tell you) has x grams of protein, y
grams carbs, + a full list of nutrients - a chemically
balanced meal in fact. A cola has lots of sugar that you
need for energy they will tell you.
Does this
mean that we should keep eating it?
Claims such
as these are widely propagated by water ionizer
hucksters without any supporting evidence. If you really
want to sample the "benefits" of acidic water, try a
dilute solution of vinegar or almost any fruit juice.
You can
test these things, for example acid water is an
antiseptic. Plus why do these
doctors support alkaline water
and why have their patients been helped with water?
I have also
been in this business for 10 years and have seen some
wonderful things happed to people and animals drinking this
water. Read more about, why I am I promote
water ionizer machines.
Many people
wonder which ionizer machine they should choose and I've
written some information about, "Help
me chose an ionizer machine." |
