“Chronic cellular dehydration painfully and prematurely kills. Its initial outward manifestations have until now been labeled as diseases of unknown origin.” – Dr. F. Batmanghelij, M.D., author of "Your Body’s Many Cries for Water"
 

Chronic cellular dehydration

That's when your body is dying of thirst on a long-term basis.  And lest you think we're talking about someone lost in the Sahara or locked away in prison, think again.  Chronic dehydration is epidemic in our society today even with all the Big Gulps and Grande Lattes we're drinking.  Why?  In part, because sugar and coffee act as diuretics - they pull water out of your body!

Is this you (or someone you know and love)...

...suffering from arthritis, colitis, or diverticulitis?  Thousands of people who drink our water on a daily basis report that these conditions have rapidly improved or disappeared entirely. 

Why?  First, you should know that "-itis" means inflamed tissue.  Which always means there's excess acidity in the body.  This powerful water quenches the inflammation by flushing the acid out of the body – fast!  It also works so well because this water is loaded with oxygen which is in short supply in many people's tissues for a variety of reasons (like smoking, obesity, too little exercise...)

By the way, your body is about 70% water, which means the average 120-pound person is about 10 gallons of water – so you want it to be the best possible water!

Osteoporosis, Leg Cramps, Indigestion - Symptoms of Acidity

When you're too acidic, your body is starved for electrons!  The pharmaceutical and supplement makers tell us the solution is a pill.  If you're reading this, odds are those pills haven't worked for you.  We have testimonials from people who say our water is amazingly effective at addressing these issues - and it works fast! 

"After just one month of drinking several glasses of this Terrific Water a day, my painful, arthritic thumb is perfect!  The joint was so painful I had almost stopped using it.  Now it's like new again!  I had tried everything to help it.  Nothing worked till I drank this water."  -- DJ, Long Beach, CA (a woman in her 60's) 

And once you understand that we're addressing the root cause and not the symptoms, you'll understand how that's possible.  When you're starved for electrons, your body uses your minerals to fix the imbalance.  Your body literally sacrifices part of itself - your bones, in the case of osteoporosis, for instance - to keep your blood alkaline.  Yep, the minerals the body was using for your bone structure or was saving to build tissue with now have to be sacrificed because of that soda you drank.

Maintain Blood Alkalinity - Or Die

You see, your blood pH (pH is defined below) must be maintained in a very narrow range (pH=7.3-7.45) or, literally, you will die.  So your body will do anything it has to in order to maintain your blood alkalinity.  Minerals are the most readily available source of electrons the body has to do this job.  But your body has never had so many demands put on it as we have today.  And it's because of how we eat, what we drink (all that sugar) and our stress levels, all of which acidify the body. 

Give the Body What It Wants and It's Happy

So when the body "steals" calcium and phosphorus from your bones, you have osteoporosis.  When the body "steals" magnesium and potassium from your muscles, you have leg cramps and restless leg. 

Give the body alkaline ionized water instead - water that is rich in electrons and oxygen - and it doesn't need to "steal" minerals from itself any more.  These issues often disappear - fast!  Now do you see why you haven't been told the truth about these issues??  Because nobody can sell you any more expensive pills once you know! 

What Do “Acid” and “Alkaline” Mean Anyway? 

Water consists of molecules containing two hydrogen and one oxygen atom bonded together electrically, written H₂O.  But in every drop of water, there are some “broken” or “free” molecules.  These are known as a Hydrogen ion H⁺ and a Hydroxyl ion OH^- (our favorite).  We care more about because Hydroxyl ions because, when they outnumber the Hydrogen ions, we call the water (or any liquid, as we shall see) “alkaline”.  The reverse, a greater number of Hydrogen ions, we label as “acidic”. 

All water has some of both H⁺ and OH^- ions at any given moment.  The measure of this ion concentration is called the pH value (stands for ‘potential of hydrogen’).  The pH scale goes from 0 (most acidic) to 14 (most alkaline) with pH=7 being “neutral”, a balance of acid and alkaline.  This scale is logarithmic, by the way, which just means that each unit means a ten-fold change in acidity or alkalinity.  In other words, water whose pH=7 is 10 times as acidic as water whose pH=8.  Water whose pH=7 is 1,000 times as acidic as water whose pH is 10, and so on.  (Phew!  Science lesson’s over.  Get a drink of water and come on back.  Trust me, this information will come in handy soon.)

Test Your Knowledge of pH

Now we'll find out if you were paying attention.  Here are the pH values for some typical beverages.  Brace yourself. This is a shocker for some people!

Recall that each pH "point" is a ten-fold increase in acidity or alkalinity, however you want to think of it.  (Thanks to Sang Whang, research scientist, inventor, water expert extraordinaire, and the author of the terrific book on alkaline water and its beneficial health effects, "Reverse Aging".   This information was taken from his book.)

One More Reason You Don't Want to Drink From the Tap

By the way, alkaline water "any way you can get it" is not automatically good.  Tap water has to alkaline by law (to keep down bacterial growth in water lines).  One way they make tap water alkaline is by dumping in sodium hydroxide.  That's caustic soda, also known as lye.  Yes, the stuff that burns skin and eats through clothing is in your water, albeit in very minute quantities.  (And you want to drink that?)  Terrific Water gets its alkalinity by a totally different process where nothing is added to the water.

So How Does pH Relate to Blood?

Since water is a powerful solvent, it acts as a carrier of many ingredients such as minerals, nutrients, oxygen, other gases, and waste products.  Blood circulates throughout the body acting as “general delivery mail” carrying most every substance used or eliminated by our tissues.  And since blood is 90% water, the quality of the water in your body plays a major role in determining what your body keeps and gets rid of.  Your blood’s pH determines how many toxins it can carry, or pull out of the body; the more alkaline, the better. 

“The most toxic commercial beverages that people consume (i.e. cola beverages and other soft drinks) are made from purified water. Studies have consistently shown that heavy consumers of soft drinks (with or without sugar) spill huge amounts of calcium, magnesium and other trace minerals into the urine. The more mineral loss, the greater
the risk for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, hypothyroidism, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure and a long list of degenerative diseases generally associated with premature aging.”  -- Dr. Zoltan P. Rona

[Since I quote Dr. Rona extensively as an expert on water, I should give his credentials.  Dr. Zoltan P. Rona, is a graduate of McGill University Medical School, has a Master's Degree in Biochemistry and Clinical Nutrition and is the author of the Canadian bestsellers, "The Joy of Health" and "Return to the Joy of Health".]

Greatly Reduce Your Need for Mineral Supplements and Save $$$

So, if you think about what Dr. Rona touches on above, your body loses minerals when you're acidic.  When you're alkalizing your body and taking such great care of it, your need for minerals will be greatly reduced.  In fact, so much so that you should be able to reduce or eliminate buying and taking a bunch of mineral supplements.  This is because most of those minerals - calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, selenium, zinc - are very generous donors of electrons.  And that's what the water will now take over doing for you - supplying the body with electrons.  So, alkaline ionized water can not only make you super-healthy - it can save you money and simplify your life, too!

Put them all together and you will be drinking one of the healthiest, most powerful anti-oxidants available today!  And it's hydrates better than sports drinks and most anything else you can put in your mouth because we lower the water's surface tension.  In other words, our water is "wetter" (and better).  Oh, did we mention that pulling toxins out of the body is another way of saying that this Terrific Water removes free radicals (also known as oxidants) from your tissues?  That makes it fair to compare alkaline ionized water to other anti-oxidants. 

“A growing number of health care practitioners and scientists from around the world have been advocating the theory that aging and disease is the direct result of the accumulation of acid waste products in the body. There is a great deal of scientific documentation that supports such a theory. A poor diet may be partially to blame for the waste accumulation. Meats, sugar, white flour products, fried foods, soft drinks, processed foods, alcohol, dairy products and other junk foods cause the body to become more acidic. Stress, whether mental or physical can lead to acid deposits in the body.” -- Dr. Zoltan P. Rona

What About Those Drinks With Vitamins?

There's sugar in those drinks which acidifies them - it's worth asking, "Do any of those nutrients I'm paying for find their way into my cells?"  Where is the proof that what's in the bottle doesn't go right through you (making a really healthy toilet)?

A "Secret" Some of the Best Restaurants in
Japan Are Keeping to Themselves

Let's talk about some of the other uses of this Terrific Water.  Cooking with it is a revelation.  It shortens cooking time and unlocks more flavor and nutrition from the food.  Result?  Less need to add flavor enhancers like salt (and that’s certainly not a bad thing!).  It also changes your tea and coffee.  In fact, you’ll find you use less tea or coffee to get the same flavor (and again, that’s not a bad thing).

Avoid Hangovers

Because dehydration is one of the main causes of that lousy morning-after feeling, drinking this Terrific Water along with or after consuming alcoholic beverages will reduce or eliminate hangovers. This makes sense also when you consider that alcohol is very acidic.  So, it should also be no surprise that many bars in Japan now serve alkaline ionized water.

Even the Acid Water is Good for You - Just Don't Drink It

Your skin pH is naturally acidic (to discourage bacterial growth) so your skin will LOVE the acid water produced as a by-product of the alkaline water production.  It's a natural astringent - like many skin preparations you'll pay a LOT more for.  It closes the pores and makes skin soft and radiant.  In fact, the Japanese call it "Beauty Water".  So use it, it's free!

Save the Planet While You’re Saving Your Own Health

Think of all the plastic (maybe even glass) bottles you’re not adding to the landfill.  A recent survey found that only 16% of all plastic water bottles ever get recycled!  That means an astounding 84% are added to our ever-growing mountains of garbage.  To manufacture all those plastic bottles consumes over 40 million gallons of oil a year.  But when you’re making your own Terrific Water every day, you won’t waste a single one because you’ll be carrying your water in a great polycarbonate canteen-style bottle you get free of charge (see details below)!  So you can sleep a little better knowing you’re not part of the problem, you’re part of the solution.  (Plus you’ll stand out from the crowd with your distinctive, cool, blue bottle.)

Why Not Put A IonWays^® Ionizer In Your Office?

IonWays Ionizers^® are an excellent addition for any office.   Just tell your boss (or, if you're the boss, think about this) an IonWays Ionizer^® will more than pay for itself eliminating bottled water expenses.  And say goodbye to those handling and storing those bulky bottles someone has to change out.  (Your boss may like the idea so much you might even get a raise!)  Especially good candidates for a Life Ionizer^® include:

• restaurants (Recall when we said restaurants in Japan making food more flavorful without the addition of seasoning? And think about being on the forefront of the trend to eliminate bottled water.  Alice Waters, co-founder of world-famous Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California just recently decided to stop the environmental madness of offering patrons bottled water.  From now on, she has decided to give them tap water.  Now if we could only talk to her about alkaline ionized water...)

• health food stores

• spas

• gyms

• weight loss centers (see 'weight loss connection' above)

• exercise studios

• yoga studios

• water stores

• schools (especially for their sports teams - much healthier hydration than those sugar-loaded sports drinks, but also reduce sick days by building immunity, reduce ADD/ADHD, and much more)

• golf courses (same reason as above)

• massage therapists

• chiropractors

• acupuncturists

• independent pharmacies

• other like-minded holistic businesses. 

For institutional use, we have LOTS of solutions, including:

• setups where there is no water supply

• hot and cold water dispensers

• vending machines

• much more (too much to list here!)

And don't forget about the revenue opportunity - selling alkaline ionized water.  You're doing your patrons a favor and paying for the unit, too!  (Just be sure to tell them to drink it in a day to ensure they will benefit from its healthful properties.) 

If It's Good for Us, How About Animals?

Absolutely!  Alkalized ionized water is great for detoxifying most any animal (except fish - but then fish folks know all about water pH).  Hot spots and other skin conditions, allergies, most any of the acidic conditions that affect people will clear up even quicker in your companion animals because of their smaller size and higher metabolism. 

Have a stable or own horses?  Inflammation, lameness, wound healing, digestive issues, pest control - all are addressed by reducing acidity in them.

If you know of (or own) a dairy, you really need to look into the benefits of supplying your cows with this Terrific Water!  We have studies and references we can share about how it greatly reduces your cost of operation through healthier cows and greater milk production. 

What About Installation?

IonWays Ionizers^® are easy to install.  The countertop units take just a few minutes.  Also, no changes are made to the kitchen which can be a concern for renters.  The under-counter model can be installed by homeowners who are handy with tools or we have installers available.  Oh, by the way, we make one of the only water ionizers in the industry designed to go under the counter.

How Much Upkeep is Needed?

OK, So What Does All This Cost?

That's the great thing!  Over the 15-year expected life of the machine, your total cost comes to less than 25 cents a gallon!  That includes the machine itself, filters and installation costs, if any.   (A detailed cost analysis is available on request.) 

We take cash, check or credit cards.  Payment plans are available.
 

Invest in Your Health (Please! - It's ALL You've Got)

The longer you wait, the more you pay.  I don't know of anything of real worth in life that doesn't follow this rule.  The reverse: Pay now and you'll pay less.  Think about your mortgage.  Have you seen how much of your monthly payment goes to interest?!  You wouldn't be paying all that if you'd paid up front, of course.  But most of us don't have that kind of cash so we pay over time.   That's the way it is with your health.  You can pay now - a modest investment in a water ionizer - or you can pay later - with your health.  Never mind the cost of doctor (and dentist) visits, pills, hospitalization, surgery, dialysis...  The cost I'm talking about is the cost we pay as measured in pain, suffering, loss of function, and worse - a shorter life.  Not to mention the cost it exacts on our family and friends who care for us - and have to watch helplessly as our health declines. 

And the tragedy is so much of it is avoidable! 

Let me be blunt: This Terrific Water will transform your life!  You just have to do one thing: take this simple step to protect your health today and forever.

We'll give the final word to two of the most respected authorities on the subject of alkalization in the health profession.
