DRINK IONIZED WATER Ever since the 1960s, Japanese scientists have been redefining what good water means. Today, if you ask any of an estimated 300,000 Japanese how they spell good water, they’ll tell you it’s ionized water because they use an ionizer in their homes every day. Ionization of water is a new technology for filtering and enhancing the quality of water by making the size of water molecules smaller. It’s already a $700 million a year industry in Japan and it is now being introduced to the U.S. under the “Ange” label with an impressive roster of health claims. Here’s how it works. The ionizer unit, hooked up to a faucet, uses a carbon-activated filter to remove impurities from the water (including chlorine, fluoride, and trihalomethanes). Then it injects a small electrical charge into the water which separates the water into two kinds: acidic and alkaline. Flowing out of one tube there is an acidic water (with positive ions) useful for topical, external uses; out of another tube comes alkaline water (with negative ions) perfect for drinking. The unit makes this separation at the rate of one gallon per minute. The applications of the acidic portion of ionized water are numerous and quite startling. According to the research and based on early reports from African and South American users, acidic ionized water acts as a “super-oxidant” to disinfect and sterilize surfaces, skin, wounds, even surgical instruments. It can kill bacteria and viruses; it can promote the healing of acne, eczema, wounds, sore throats, and blisters and it can improve sin quality. When used on foods, it can retard spoilage or act as a bacterial cleanser for meats; it can be used by dentists to sterilize the mouth during dental procedures. You can even use it as a mouthwash when you brush your teeth. Regarding the alkaline ionized water, here the smaller size of the water molecules shows its advantage. According to Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D., one of Japan’s foremost ionized water researchers, ionized alkaline water acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body, destroying harmful free radicals, in the same way as vitamins A, C, and E, which are also antioxidants. Although the reports are still, strictly speaking, anecdotal, Dr. Hayashi reports that he and his colleagues have seen improvement in people with diabetes, constipation, ulcers, high blood pressure, allergies, circulation, migraines, obesity, osteoporosis, and menstrual irregularities after drinking ionized alkaline water every day for several months. The use of ionized alkaline water produced by Jupiter Water Ionizer as a preventive medicine technology is reportedly expanding in Japanese and Korean clinics and hospitals. Once ionized alkaline water gets absorbed by the body’s cells, says Dr. Hayashi, it helps to dissolve acidic wastes that have accumulated there over many years and reduces the chronic dehydration common in many people. In effect, thanks to its smaller molecular size, more water is absorbed by the body and more water actually penetrates all the cells and tissues. When the body has more water to work with (and, in this case, a more refined form of it), it is able to better deliver nutrients to all the cells, tissues, and organs. In fact, because of its smaller molecular structure and hydration effect, Jupiter ionized alkaline water is also known as “wetter” water. The water tastes unusually smooth and soft, and due to its high concentration of negative ions (typical of pure mountain springs), it is very refreshing. “We are advancing the theory that the most effective and economical source for an antioxidant is ordinary tap water after it is filtered and processed through a unit,” says Dr. Hayashi. One key to rejuvenation may be as simple as drinking a glass of good water every day.
