Agricultural Chemicals Replaced by Ionized Water: Part3
This is Part3 of the Miracle Water Documentary looking at how Agriculture Chemicals can be replaced by Ionized Water.
Announcer A: "Again tonight we are reporting on a wondrous water. We
reported that this water is very effective for medical use and for
preventing food poisoning. The water is used as a substitute for
agricultural chemicals as well."
Announcer: "We asked an agriculture expert what effects does it produce?"
Reporter: "A variety of fruits and vegetables are in this shop and all
of them brightly colored. My favorite vegetable is the cucumber, but
thinking of agricultural chemicals, I worry about the effects on
cucumbers. An agricultural ministry survey shows that cucumbers are
vulnerable to diseases especially those grown in a greenhouse which
have to be sprayed often. Without chemicals only ten percent of the
cucumbers survive."
Reporter: "However, we found a farmer in Oyamacee Tochigi Prefecture
who grows cucumbers without using agricultural chemicals. They use
water which is not harmful to our health but which does destroy mold."
Farmer: "This machine separates water into alkaline ion oxidized water.
We put salt in the water and it is resolved by electricity. At the
negative pole you get alkaline water and at the positive pole you get
oxidized acidic water. This is done instantly."
"This oxidized water kills germs that cause cucumber diseases. One
cucumber plant will yield nearly 100 cucumbers. These plants are
suffering from mildew. But on this plant which was treated with acidic
oxidized water, the bacteria have been destroyed. It is surprising that
the white part suffering from mildew came off due to the sterilizing
power of the water. The difference is very clear between the one
treated with acid oxidized water and the other one. With oxidized water
there is no resistance against mold or chemicals."
Cameraman Matsumoto, eating a cucumber treated with the water says: "If
agricultural chemicals are used, I wouldn't want to eat it, but in this
case, I decided to try it. Oh, it is fresh and delicious, it also
smells good. We can eat these cucumbers with-out any worry even if they
are uncooked."
Reporter: "Golf a favorite sport in Japan. On golf courses greens are
produced using chemicals and this is causing problems. We conducted an
investigation of agricultural chemicals used on golf courses in Chiba
Prefecture two years ago and we found that an average of 2.4 tons of
agricultural chemicals are used annually per eighteen hole golf
courses, more than a 150 types of chemicals are used. Some kinds of
agricultural chemicals remain in the soil for a long time, and in some
cases they become a source of pollution."
This person says: "What I have picked up is ionized water it records a
value of 2.6 pH. At Atsugi International Country Club, they have been
trying to reduce the use of agricultural chemicals as much as possible
by using strongly oxidized water. A lawn is infected by several kinds
of germs, so lawns that are once beautiful can often die this way. If
this happens on a golf course the value of the country club decreases.
This difficult situation let to the idea of killing germs with strongly
oxidized water created by electrolysis."
Akito Hirano: "Now we spray this strongly oxidized water once a week in
warm weather, and when the temperature goes down we spray once or twice
a month."
Reporter: "Why does this water kill the germs?"
Akito Hirano: "The germs which kill lawns can't live under a 3 pH
level, given more strongly oxidized water they are destroyed.
Furthermore, dissolved oxygen and dissolved chlorine will kill the
germs."
Akito Hirano: "We are trying to cut agricultural chemical by 80 percent
every year. In the near future we hope to dispense with all the
agricultural chemicals by using this water."
Reporter: "Most pleased are the farmers who are freed from using
agricultural chemicals. Look at this they work in light clothing,
sneakers, aprons and jeans."

Kazuko Akiyama: "Once I was so scared to work in a vinyl plastic
hothouse, when I was pregnant, so I did my work just leaning in from
outside, but now days we are safe."
Reporter: "We asked her to put on the working clothes she used in the days when they used chemicals."
Kazuko Akiyama: "I worked in this raincoat, rubber boots, gloves, sun
visor and mask. It was hot and uncomfortable and that made the work
even tougher."
Reporter: "Alkaline water produced from electrolysis is also utilized to grow crops."
Yuro Sasaki: "Alkaline water helps suck up nutrition from the soil as a result things grow bigger."
Hirotoshi Tamura Managing director of Yota Ba Kai co-operative: "At
this time of the year farmers use agricultural chemicals once a week,
but by introducing this method these farmers have not used chemicals at
all so far, still delicious cucumbers are being produced. I am sure
this method will be "THE" method for chemical free farming in the
future."
"Because the water is highly acidic, you might be concerned about
causing some bad effects, but according to the staffs experiments, the
acid water will change into ordinary water in the soil."
Announcer: "We reported the story of the miraculous water in a three
part story and while reporting we were startled by these wonders. The
next report in the special feature about miracle water is coming up
tomorrow."
