What is Alkaline Ionized Water?
The term Alkaline Water
is just a label used to describe ideal drinking water as provided by
nature in places like Hunza and the Alps. It is one of many labels that arise as we explore the hidden, mysterious
properties of water.
In health literature alkaline ionized water is
also called:
Water is like a diamond, it has all these properties which can be thought of as the different facets of the water diamond.
Alkaline pH is just one of these facets, the most easily measured facet of the water diamond.
Alkaline water is water with excess Oxygen and Alkaline Minerals.
It has more OH- ions then H+ ions; it is highly oxygenated water with
the oxygen in the stable bias OH- form that is needed by our cells.
Each of these ions is bonded with an alkaline mineral in the all
important colloidal form. At pH
between 9-10, ionized alkaline water will have 100's of times more
excess oxygen then neutral tap water and no acid elements or toxic
substances in it.
Ionized
water is produced by electrolysis by a Water Ionizer. This small device
first filters and purifies ordinary tap water and then passes it
through an electrolysis chamber with platinum coated solid titanium
plates. All alkaline elements in the water are drawn towards one plate,
while all acid elements like chlorine, fluoride** and heavy metals that
are not captured by the filter are drawn to the other plate to be
discarded. You drink the alkaline water and can use the acid water for
skin care.
Japanese
scientists discovered a method that puts back into water the missing
ingredients that nature provides to the best natural water like Hunza
water:
- Alkaline pH
- Hydroxyl ions
- Micro-clusters
- Colloidal Minerals
- Active Hydrogen.
The discovery of ionized water/microwater closely replicates the living qualities of high altitude mountain spring water: Fresh, Invigorating, Life Enhancing, Free Radical Scavenging and Delicious.
Alkaline
water is drinking water as it should be, and as it is in natures best
waters like glacier waters. Nature separates water into acid and
alkaline - high altitude spring waters tend to be alkaline (for
drinking), whereas hot spring waters are acidic (for skin cleansing).
Fresh evian spring water for example is alkaline and has small cluster
sizes.
Ionized
alkaline and acid waters are used in hospitals and clinics throughout
Japan and South Korea, where the water ionizer is classified as a
medical device.
Alkaline pH
is just one of the facets of the water diamond, the most easily measured facet of the
water diamond.
The fact that the water ionizer separates neutral tap
water to acid and alkaline can be easily checked by the litmus test or
pH meter by anyone - so it is this facet that is the most commonly talked about.
The
other aspects or facets of good water such as the Micro-clusters,
colloidal Mineral content, ORP values (show if the water is reduced or
oxidised), bio-energy levels, and general life enhancing qualities are
less easy to measure and quantify by the average person.
Water
researchers, particulalrly in Korea and Japan have researched all these
aspects of ionized water. The Medical Case Studies and References section contains a selection of the published research papers.
The message is slowly spreading to the Western countries. UK Universities, for example, now offer courses on Structured Water.
Ionized water is one of the most effective and easy ways for your body to:
-
Hydrate
-
Alkalize
-
Mineralize
-
Detoxify
Alkaline
water can slowly reverse the aging process, which is a gradual process
of acid waste accumulation. It is every effective because the water
penetrates deeply to disolve and remove toxins from the body.
Acid
wastes like lactic acid that are insoluble in neutral water become
soluble in alkaline water and so can be removed from the body by
drinking alkaline water.
What measurable properties does alkaline water have?
-
High pH - excess Oxygen:
It has more OH- ions then tap or acid water. Blood pH at 7.45 has been
calculated to have an excess oxygen of around 65% at pH 10, in the
stable bias form as compared with blood at pH 7.3. At pH over 9,
alkaline water has 100's times more excess oxygn then tap water at pH
around 7.
-
Low ORP - Micro-clusters :
Abundance of electrons which make it a powerfull liquid Anti-Oxidant,
more effective then vitamin C because of of its smaller molecular size,
and it doesen't need any synergistc elements.
-
Low NMR - Reduced Water :
The water molecules clump together in micro-clusters (measured by
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, NMR). This makes the water better at
penetrating and hydrating. The water also has a low surface tension
(measured in dynes).
-
High Colloidal Minerals:
The ionization converts the minerals in the water into an ionic or
colloidal form, considered the best bio-active form. Every OH- ion will
be bonded with an ionic mineral like calcium. Each glass of alkaline
water has many billions of these life enhancing molecules. Remember,
just disolving calcium in water and drinking does not mean that your
body will assimilate the calcium - your body can only assimilate
minerals that are in ionic form.
-
High Bio-Energy:
this is indicated by devices that measure the electric frequncy of
substances. Alkaline water is alive, charged, life-enhancing as opposed
to tap water or stored bottled water, which is dead.
The acid ionized water would be difficient in some of these.
