General Water Purification Methods

Many people these days are doing something to purify their water. Most people at least know they ought to do something to purify the water. But with all the many water purification alternatives available there is also much confusion about what what could be done. There are several different types of water purification systems that are commonly used in homes to supply families with drinking water. Each has its advantages and some have notable disadvantages. A very common type of water purification is the use of a filtration system. Many water filter systems use charcoal, activated silver and fine mesh to do away with chemicals and particles from the water and kill bacteria. Filtration does not remove everything from the water, and what remains with the water is determined in part by the size of the holes in the filtration mesh. Another type of water purification is distillation which results in water that is practically void of impurities. In fact, distillation is void of just about everything whether bad like chlorine or good like minerals. Another process known as reverse osmosis is commonly used in households to produce a water free of contaminants and also free of minerals.

An Explanation of Water Ionization

Another form of water purification that is not as commonly recognized but is very effective is water ionization. The term ionization indicates that the nature of the water molecules is altered or restructured. Ionization occurs in a Water Ionizer machine using electricity. Water passes over highly charged electrolysis plates where the electrical charge causes some of the water molecules to be split from H2O into H+ and OH- ions. While there is only one supply into the water ionizer machine, there are two outputs - one hose has a large number of H+ ions while another hose has a large number of OH- ions. The water strong in H+ has an acidic pH while the OH- water is Alkaline. Several types of water can be created by a water ionizer. A standard use of a water ionizer machine is to produce Alkaline drinking water. High quality water ionizers that make Kangen Water (tm of Enagic) also produce an abundance of Antioxidants in the Alkaline water. Antioxidants slow down the aging process because they neutralize the potentially harmful activity of Free Radicals in our cells. Additionally, high quality water ionizers also produce a strong negative ORP or Oxidative Reduction Potential. The stronger the negative value the better the water is in reducing oxidation, and therefore the better the water is for good health. Most types of drinking water commonly found in homes, restaurants and stores have a positive ORP which indicates the water contributes to oxidation. Therefore, water ionizers that create a strong negative ORP can be an important tool for people looking for ways to improve their health, slow their aging process and enjoy delicious purified water.

The best quality Water Ionizers can be researched and purchased online.

Alkaline Water Ionizers are becoming a well-liked health product in many parts of the world. In Japan, which ranks top position on the list of countries for longevity, 20% of homes have a Water Ionizer Machine.

While other countries do not have that same level of market penetration, the news is getting out and health-conscious people everywhere are learning about Water Ionizers and using them to make alkaline drinking water. Just about everybody these days is aware of the quality issues in our drinking water supply. What few people are aware of is that almost all our drinking water has a positive ORP. That is the abbreviation for oxidative reduction potential.

Just as oxidation is bad for a piece of iron that we leave out in the backyard because it will begin to rust as the oxidation process works away on it, oxidation is also bad for each of our trillions of cells in your body because oxidation breaks down our cells and causes the aging process. The higher the ORP measurement of the water we drink, the more it contributes to the oxidation, or aging process. The good news is, that with a high-quality Water Ionizer like those that produce Kangen Water (tm Enagic), anyone can turn their tap water into a very healthy alkaline drinking water with a strong negative ORP. The stronger the negative measurement of ORP, the greater the effect of the water in fighting the oxidation process, or slowing down the aging process. Not all Water Ionizers can produce a water with a strong negative ORP. But fortunately there are Water Ionizers that do.

Another benefit of a high-quality Alkaline Water Ionizer Machine — again, not all Water Ionizers produce this type of water — is that the water is referred to as being Restructured because the water molecules aggregate into groups composed of a smaller number of molecules than is normally found in drinking water. This is sometimes referred to as Hexegonal water. This restructured water with the smaller aggregations of water molecules is able to permeate through cell membranes more easily, therefore enabling the water to perform some of its most important functions better.

Cells, for example, can become hydrated easier, nutrients can be delivered into the cells more readily, and toxins can be more readily removed from the cells. The net of all this is that people who begin to drink the water produced by a high-quality water ionizer machine often describe how quickly they feel healthier once they start drinking the water. But there is more good news…

Water Ionizers are often sought out by people searching for a solution to their pH balance. One of the challenges many people have today is that they are having too much acid accumulating within the body. Antacids, heartburn, acid reflux, and many other related conditions are all too common. Left untreated, an accumulation of acid within the body tissues can lead to a variety of serious health conditions. While most people realize the importance of balancing their body pH, few people have the know how or the discipline to address this serious issue successfully with diet and lifestyle alone. Fortunately, a high-quality Water Ionizer Machine will provide an unlimited supply of Alkaline Drinking Water which will help balance the pH within the body tissue.

No wonder Water Ionizer Machines are quickly becoming such a popular health product!

Alkaline Water or Kangen Water machines or water ionizers as commonly known are quickly becoming a popular health product in the United States and many other countries.

Our body has 2 kidneys that expel acidic wastes in the body. The kidneys depend on adequate amount of water to remove acidic wastes. Water is needed to neutralize and carry the low-pH acidic wastes which the kidneys expel as urine.

Chronic or permanent kidney failure is the failure of the kidneys to remove acidic wastes. The body remove wastes in 4 ways: through the colon by defecation, lungs by exhalation, sweat glands by perspiration and the kidneys through urination. The kidneys are the major waste removal system of the body. It cleanses the body by processing 10,000 liters of water a day. To expel acidic wastes, those 4 systems need adequate amount of water to form stool, breath mists, sweats and urine to adequately remove the wastes from the body.

Common causes of permanent or chronic kidney failure are;
Diabetes
High blood Pressure
Urinary tract Obstruction, Kidney stones
Auto-immune disease, Lupus Erythematosus

What is the hidden truth about kidney failure?

The old understanding, old paradigm of causes of kidney failure are Diabetes, high blood pressure, urinary obstruction like kidney stones, Lupus erythematosus. According to this old understanding, to prevent kidney failure is to treat these causes with multiple drugs and to limit taking salt and water. A person with a combination of 2 or more of these diseases have a higher chance of ending up in permanet kidney failure.

The new understanding, new paradigm about kidney failure explains that unintentional dehydration and acidosis is the true cause of kidney failure. Persistent lack of water result to the inability of the kidneys to form urine to expel acidic wastes. The persistent toxic acidity and dehydration leads to destruction of the kidneys.

Diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney stones and lupus erythematosus are all caused by unintentinal dehydration and acidosis. Please see my previous articles on the true cause of diabetes and high blood pressure and the upcoming article on the hidden truth about Lupus erythematosus.

How can we prevent permanent kidney failure?

The new level of understanding, a new paradigm explains that lack of water and acidosis is the hidden truth in kidney failure, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney stones and lupus erythematosus.

Therefore, replenishing the body’s water will prevent kidney failure.

“Replenishing the hexagonal water in our bodies can increase vitality, slow the aging process and prevent disease.” Dr. M. S. Jhon, PhD

How can water help remove wastes in a person who is already in permanent kidney failure and receiving dialysis?

Beside the kidneys, the body remove wastes from the colon by defecation, from the lungs by exhalation and from the sweat glands by perspiration. Water is the ultimate system for waste removal. Promoting sufficient defecation, exhalation and perspiration with sufficient water will assist in removing wastes. Perrsons in kidney failure should consult their doctors regarding amounts of water they can drink.

HOW CAN A PERSON KNOW IF HE/SHE IS ACIDIC OR DEHYDRATED?

URINE COLOR TEST
If your urine is clear, almost the color of clear water, you are well hydrated.
If your urine is yellow, you are moderately dehydrated.
If your urine is orange, not from discoloration from food coloring and vitamins, you are
markedly dehydrated.

TYPE OF BEVERAGE TEST
If you do not drink water and only drink coffee &/or tea, &/or soda, &/or alcohol, &/or sports
drinks, you are severely dehydrated.
If you drink 6-8 glasses of water and drink coffee, &/or tea, &/or soda, &/or alcohol, &/or sport drinks, you are markedly dehydrated.

AMOUNT OF WATER DRANK TEST
If you do not drink water 1/2 ounce per pound of body weight a day, you are severely dehydrated.

If you drink water 1/2 ounce per lb. a day and you take prescription drugs, you are mildly dehydrated

If you drink 1 ounce per pound and no prescription drugs, you are mildly hydrated.

TYPE OF WATER DRANK TEST (IONIZED, RESTRUCTURED WATER TEST)
If you do not drink Microclustered Water or Kangen Water, even if you drink other
water, you may be markedly or mildly dehydrated and you are highly acidic.
If you drink 1/2 ounce of antioxidant, oxygenated, alkaline, hexagon water, you are well
hydrated and less acidic and getting alkalized.
If you are drinking 1 ounce per pound of antioxidant, oxygenated, alkaline, hexagon water,
you are well hydrated and not acidic but alkaline.

“No disease can exist in an Alkaline environment.”
Dr. Otto Warburg

It is no wonder that the word is out on Hexagonal Water or Kangen Water Machines which is fast becoming a popular health product!
