 How It Works
Ionized water is very Alkaline, it has a high redox potential (i.e. it is a good antioxidant
because its ORP value is very negative), and it has its water molecules
in smaller clusters than normal water. All of these things help inhibit
the spread of cancer and aid in killing cancer cells, directly or
indirectly. However, there is not enough evidence to categorize it as a
stand-alone treatment plan.
Ionized water works on cancer in three major ways.
It is a good
antioxidant, meaning it has a very negative ORP value (Oxidation
Reduction Potential), it neutralizes free radicals (i.e. ROS - Reactive
Oxygen Species), making many oxygen molecules available to the cancer
cells; either to slow the growth of cancer or to kill the cancer cells.
This is done with the hydroxyl ions in the ionized water.
Unlike hydrogen peroxide, which adds oxygen molecules to the
body (i.e. they don't already exist in the body), ionized water makes
existing oxygen molecules, already in the body, available to the cancer
cells by giving them electrons. This actually has advantages because it
removes damaging free radicals at the same time.
Ionized water is also very alkaline. Cancer cells do not thrive in an alkaline environment:
-
Dr. Keiichi Morishita in this book, The Hidden Truth of Cancer,
states that if the blood develops a more acidic condition, then these
excess acidic wastes have to be deposited somewhere in the body. If
this unhealthy process continues year after year, these areas steadily
increase in acidity, and their cells begin to die.
Other cells in the affected area may survive by becoming abnormal;
these are called malignant. Malignant cells do not respond to brain
commands. They undergo a cellular division that is out of control. This
is called cancer.
Modern medicine in America treats these malignant cells as if they
were bacteria or viruses. It uses chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery
to treat cancer. Yet none of these treatments will help very much, if
after all of that, the acidic environment remains.
Drinking water that has a high alkaline pH, because of its
de-acidifying effect, will help in preventing cancer. In Asia, alkaline
water is regularly served to patients, and is considered a regular part
of treatment.
 Water molecules in our body do not individually float around, they
exist in clusters of water molecules. Ionized water clusters are
significantly smaller than normal water cluster. A water cluster
generally consists of about a dozen water molecules. Because the
cluster is so big, the water clusters cannot penetrate many places in
your body. By making clusters half that size, in terms of the number of
water molecules per cluster, the clusters (i.e. the water) can
penetrate into more places in the body. The shape of ionized water
clusters (a hexagon) also helps them get into places regular water
cannot go. These things are called making "wetter water."
In addition to these things, ionized water removes a lot of
toxic waste products from the body. In fact there are many other
benefits to drinking ionized water, most of which have nothing to do
with cancer.
I suspect that virtually all brands of water ionizers are made
in Japan or Korea, or the parts are made in Japan or Korea and they are
assembled in the U.S. Japan and Korea are where most of the research is
taking place.
The reason this is considered a primary treatment, in spite of
the lack of testimonials, is because of its antioxidant activities.
Several less-effective antioxidants are considered to be primary
treatments, thus it is only reasonable that this would also be
considered a primary treatment.
Another thing to consider is taking a bath in ionized water.
This will help get oxygen into the body without having to go through
the digestive tract. Add a gallon, or more, to your bath water.
Supercharging This Treatment
You should take sea salt (1/4 teaspoon per quart) with ionized
water. Also, make sure you take a good mineral supplement, preferably
one with trace elements. A good calcium supplement will also help make
your body alkaline. Quit drinking soda pop (whether diet or not) and
refined sugar (these things are very acidic and offset the alkalinity
of the ionized water). You should drink between 1 gallon and 2 gallons
of ionized water a day. Drink the ionized water within a few hours of
making it in order to get the full effect of the hydroxyl ions.
If you might have cancer because of your intake of trans fatty
acids (e.g. margarine, etc.), then you need to do some special things
to make sure the oxygen clusters are absorbed into the cancer cells.
Even though the ionized water molecule clusters are smaller than normal
water molecule clusters, it still helps to make the cells more able to
absorb large molecules. This means you must absolutely stay away from
trans fatty acids, hydrogenated oils, etc.
Other antioxidants that could be combined with ionized water
are: vitamins C and E, the minerals zinc and selenium, and the natural
substances Lycopene (or add tomatoes to your vegetable juice),
CoEnzyme-Q10, N-Acetyl Cysteine, and the minerals manganese, copper and
zinc (copper:zinc in 1:15 ratio).
This treatment should not be considered a "major" alternative cancer treatment.
