Hydrogen Water

Have you ever heard of ‘The Water Cure?’ Drinking water alone will increase your health and wellness but it takes ionized water to provide the proper hydration for exceptional health. When you have the right water you can actually change your life; change your water, change your life. Your body is 70% to 80% water and when your body is power-charged with the best hydrating qualities you can feel and see the difference.

Hydrogen-rich water is the best water you can drink. Dissolved hydrogen molecules can help increase energy and boost your body’s own antioxidants (e.g. glutathione) that help your cells function more effectively. Proper hydration is crucial to proper metabolism, digestion, brain function, heart function, memory retention, and weight loss. The more hydrating the water, the more powerful detoxifier the water is and the more effective its healing powers.

The molecular hydrogen has been referred to as the primeval antioxidant and has tremendous benefits. Molecular hydrogen promotes cellular hydration and converts free radicals into water molecules rendering them harmless. Proper hydration increases energy improving athletic performance with less fatigue and cutting recovery time in half. It also boosts the immune system and balances the body’s energy fields.

For years people judged the properties of pH as the most important factor for quality health. Whether water is acidic or alkaline is an important factor in obtaining good health but it is not the most important factor. The oxidation-reduction potential or ORP fluctuates tremendous with water electrolysis compared with only slightly fluctuating in adjusting the pH balance. ORP produces reduced water with a negative potential that is good for the body. In other words, redox potential is more important than pH because of the greater value it has in reducing oxidation in the body’s cells because it is vital to the cellular healing process.

Redox Signaling

Redox Signaling Molecules are created within every cell of the body and is central to all life and are vital to the immune system and to cellular healing. Without Redox Signaling Molecules you would die within minutes; that is how essential to life these molecules are. A proper supply of Redox Signaling Molecules are required when cells need healing from damaged and dysfunctional cells so that vibrant cells can take over.

Redox Signaling Molecules are one of the major molecules involved in cell communication. When cells are damaged they cannot get the signals out to replace themselves then instead of healthy cells being duplicated the damaged cells get duplicated. Without Redox Signaling Molecules antioxidants could never fight free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.

Hydrogen water is used to help maintain proper balance inside the body to support the immune system and healing process. When reactive molecules are in the proper balance the immune system and healing process function are at their optimal level. If your cells are feeling better so will you. Now by drinking hydrogen water you can tune up your cellular communication.

The Great Secret

Hydrogen is now at the forefront of biomedical and anti-aging research. More than 400 scientific publications including more than 40 human studies have shown molecular hydrogen to be therapeutic in essentially every organ of the human body. Research has also shown that the removal of the hydrogen gas in hydrogen water eliminates the health benefits while the addition of extra hydrogen gas to the water increases the therapeutic benefits.

Hydrogen gas is the smallest and lightest molecule in the universe and therefore has higher cellular bioavailability above any supplement, drug, or nutraceutical. Hydrogen can rapidly diffuse deep into the mitochondria and easily pass through the blood brain barrier. And drinking water that contains hydrogen gas is the most effective method of delivering hydrogen to the body.

The need for a natural and safe anti-aging remedy that brings the body back to homeostasis has never been greater. This long forgotten molecule is no longer forgotten. Not only does scientific research suggest that the hydrogen molecule may be the key to health and wellness it may also be the secret to anti-aging. Many people thought that the increased pH was the cause of health and anti-aging benefits in ionized water but instead it is now known that the molecular hydrogen dissolved is the true cause of these benefits.

How Hydrogen Works

There are three main processes that hydrogen exerts into beneficial effects:

  1. It instantaneously converts toxic hydroxyl radicals to water.
  2. It maintains the homeostatic levels of the body’s antioxidants.
  3. It has a beneficial effect on cell signaling, cell metabolism, and gene expression which gives it anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, and anti-aging effects.


Hydrogen gas is natural and safe to the body and is actually produced in the intestines after a fiber rich meal. Hydrogen gas is diffused into the blood and exerts many healthful benefits.

Dehydration

An estimated 78% of Americans have mild chronic dehydration. Dehydration may not seem like a big deal but most of the chronic health conditions and so-called incurable diseases we see all around us are symptoms of the different stages of chronic dehydration.

Symptoms of mild dehydration begins when the water levels in the body drop a mere 2% below the optimal level. Symptoms of dehydration are hard to detect because there are so many of them like low energy, headaches, body aches and pains, brain fog, dry eyes, food cravings, memory problems, and trouble concentrating and usually these symptoms get ignored.

Unfortunately mild dehydration can quickly develop into more serious conditions. As the water level drops a person will experience more discomfort with extreme fatigue, muscle cramps, increased heart rate, irregular blood pressure, Parkinson’s disease, cataracts, high cholesterol, weight gain, diabetes, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, fibromyalgia, chronic inflammation, osteoporosis, cancer, stomach ulcers, eczema, bloating, indigestion, heartburn, constipation, and many neurological disorders such as autism, ADD, depression, Alzheimer’s, and dementia just to name a few.

The Causes of Disease

Disease is caused by too many active oxygen molecules or free radicals being produced in the body. There has to be something to counteract the free radicals but when there are too many acid-causing foods and drinks eaten the body cannot produce enough antioxidants to combat the effects of the free radicals.

It is well known that many chronic diseases result in excess acidity of the body. We also know that the body tends to become more acidic due to modern diets and lifestyles and the aging process itself. By drinking high negative ORP alkaline water made from ionized water, metabolic acidosis is combated thus improving the absorption of nutrients.

Not until recently has research focused on the important role of hydrogen to balance out or negate the effects of oxygen toxicity. You might ask: Can hydrogen prevent disease? Well in the past everyone was taught that a healthy diet rich in antioxidants was the most important factor in reducing oxidative stress or free radicals. However water treated by electrolysis to increase hydrogen electrons is now known to be the best solution found. The molecules of the water treated by electrolysis are smaller by far than all the other antioxidants making them fast acting and more readily available to reach all the tissues of the body in a shorter amount of time.

Active oxygen can damage normal tissue and can cause disintegration of healthy tissue. To prevent damage that causes disease, an effective method has to be used to block the oxidation of healthy tissue.

Damage to tissues results when free radicals strip electrons from healthy cells. If the damage goes unchecked it will lead to disease. For example, the oxidation of LDL cholesterol particles in arterial walls by free radicals triggers an immune system response that results in atherosclerosis, the principal cause of heart disease. The negative ions in alkaline water from an electrolysis machine are a rich source of electrons that can be donated to these free radicals in the body neutralizing them and stopping them from damaging healthy tissues. Specifically, these ions have the potential to engage in the chemical reactions necessary to neutralize oxygen free radicals preventing damage that leads to disease.

Hydrogen Water Encourages Gut Health

Many diseases of the intestinal tract are due to a disturbance in the balance of the microorganisms inhibiting the gut. One study suggests that alkaline water encourages friendly anaerobic microflora in the human intestinal tract and discourages unfriendly aerobic organisms. This is great news for the many millions of people in the U.S that suffer because of an overload of unfriendly bacteria in their intestines.

Candida Albicans is a fungus or form of yeast that is part of the gut flora. The normal percentage of friendly flora to unfriendly flora should be 83% to 12% but today most Americans have upside down health in their digestive tract where that number is reversed. When the Candida Albicans population starts getting out of control it weakens the intestinal wall, penetrating through into the bloodstream releasing its toxic byproducts throughout the body.

In times past, the addition of electrons was not necessary because people’s eating habits were more natural and produced less damage by oxidative stress. But now that is no longer the case.

Oxidation means the removal of electrons whereby cells loose energy and become weak, but when water is ionized, electrons are produced that replace the removed electrons caused by oxidation making the cell strong and healthy. How to protect healthy tissue from the ravages of oxidation caused by active oxygen before damage occurs requires the addition of free electrons that are produced by the ionized water. The process of adding free electrons neutralizes the high oxidation potential and prevents the radicals from reacting with healthy tissue.

What is Hydrogen Water

The product of mild electrolysis is ionized water. Hydrogen water is treated tap water that has been filtered and reformed to provide reduced water with a large mass of electrons that can be donated to active oxygen to block the oxidation of normal cells in the body. That is what reduction means, the addition of electrons that are used in the body to block oxidation of normal tissue by free oxygen radicals. That is the function of electrons and that is what they were created to do.

By drinking an adequate amount of Hydrogen Water you are getting the best water at the cellular level eliminating dehydration resulting in you feeling healthier. It really is that simple. Hydrogen Water provides water right from the tap so no more need for inferior bottled water and expensive costly pH machines. Excellent for athletes and those who exercise and work hard who need to replace a large amount of water quickly.

Another benefit of drinking ionized water is that it assists in the absorption of minerals. We know that if the body is not absorbing enough minerals, it will rob minerals from the body’s mineral reserves resulting in mineral deficiency. It is important to note that electrolysis cannot take place without the presence of minerals.

Reverse Osmosis water, distilled water, and highly filtered water take out minerals needed by the body to function properly and heal. Minerals are more important for healing than vitamins or even juices. Without minerals the body hurts creating sore backs and muscles and even diagnosed diseases. Minerals are essential to regulating bodily functions. For example one mineral alone, magnesium, is responsible for 300 functions of the body being performed and is the main mineral for decreasing inflammation.

We all know that we should drink water, but most people drink very little or no water because they don’t like the taste. Hydrogen Water changes that scenario. Even children and teenagers are discovering their love of water over other drinks because the body ultimately knows what is good for it. The proof is in the fact that people are getting proper hydration and are feeling better.

Hydrogen Water also affects your health by:

  • Increasing your energy
  • Flushing toxins and free radicals from your body
  • Hydrating your body and eliminating discomfort caused by dehydration
  • Slightly increasing the blood pH percentage of oxygen in your blood
  • Improving digestion retaining valuable nutrients from the food you eat
  • Providing powerful antioxidants reducing the adverse effects of the natural aging process.

The Root of Disease

More people are dying from lack of water than from anything else. Everything that has a cause has an effect. Active oxygen radicals steal electrons from normal, healthy biological molecules. This electron theft or damage by active oxygen oxidizes tissue and if left unchecked will lead to disease. The radicals are extremely reactive and can also attach themselves to normal, healthy cells and damage them genetically.

Effects of Oxidation on Vital Organs
Oxidized Tissue Leads To
Liver Hepatitis, cirrhosis, cancer
Pancreas Pancreatitis, diabetes, cancer
Kidney Nephritis, nephrosis, cancer

Substances that prevent oxidation are called antioxidants. Antioxidants are what protect cells and organs from damage caused by carcinogens whether found in foods, drinks, air, pollutants, chemicals, skincare products, soaps, toothpastes, cooking utensils, shampoos, detergents, etc. Although some foods seem to help defend against oxidation while others seem to promote it, we now know that water treated with electrolysis increases hydrogen electrons which protects the body from oxidation.

When the body stores too much toxic waste, it can produce hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, histamines, indoles, phenols and scatoles which can produce an offensive odor to feces. Offensive odors are actually indicators of certain diseases. The body of course tries to neutralize the damage to organs caused by the waste products but cannot do so without reducing the active oxygen radicals and without the presence of an ample amount of electrons it is impossible for the body to achieve neutralization. Negatively charged hydrogen or electrons are the Master Antioxidants in the Universe and without an ample amount of these Master Antioxidants or electrons damage and disease will occur.

When taken internally the effects of reduced water are immediate, and when taken on a regular basis Hydrogen Water inhibits excessive fermentation in the digestive tract resulting in diminished odor and a cleaner stool. In 1965, the Ministry of Welfare of Japan announced that reduced water obtained from electrolysis can prevent abnormal fermentation of intestinal microbes.

How An Hydrogen Water Unit Works

The Hydrogen Water unit is an electrical appliance connected to your water supply. The Hydrogen Water unit produces two kinds of water with different redox potentials, one with a high reduction potential and the other with a high oxidation potential.

The unit performs electrolysis on tap water and is used for drinking, cooking and cleaning. A special attachment re-directs tap water out of the faucet through a plastic hose into the Ionized Water unit. Inside the Hydrogen Water unit the water is first filtered through activated charcoal then the filtered water passes into an electrolysis chamber equipped with a platinum-coated titanium electrode where electrolysis takes place. Cations, positive ions, gather at the negative electrodes to create cathodic water (reduced water). Anions, negatively charged ions, gather at the positive electrode to make anodic water (oxidized water).

The Hydrogen Water comes out of the faucet and is used for drinking or cooking. An important factor in the electrolysis process is that it reduces the size of reduced water molecule clusters and charges the hydrogen water with electrons making it more absorbable than untreated tap water. The Hydgrogen Water quickly permeates the body and then blocks the oxidation of biological molecules by donating its abundant electrons to active oxygen enabling the biological molecules to replace themselves naturally without damage caused by oxidation that can cause diseases.

Hydrogen water quickly enters the liver and other organs and neutralizes the active oxygen protecting the DNA, RNA and proteins from oxidative stress allowing them to grow, mature, function, and regenerate without the interference from rogue, oddball oxygen radicals.

Hydrogen water is what increases the Life Force Energies that help balance the body’s energy fields, improves health and wellness, and improves hydration with all of its benefits.

Oxidized Water

Oxidized water comes out of a separate hose leading into the sink. Oxidized water can withdraw electrons from bacteria and kill them making the water perfect to use for sterilizing, washing hands, decontaminating surfaces, cleaning fresh vegetables and fruits, treating minor wounds and athlete’s foot, minor burns, insect bites, scratches, and so forth.

A hyperoxidized water apparatus with a greater redox potential can quickly destroy MRSA (Methecillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) which medically speaking is said to be incurable. That is the future for all hospitals and doctors treating so-called incurable infections in the U.S.

Already hyperoxidized water has been proven effective in Japanese hospitals in the treatment of bedsores and operative wounds with complicated infections. Although it will not harm the skin it is a powerful sterilizing and healing agent.

Hyperoxidized water can be used in agriculture to kill fungi and other plant diseases. It is non-toxic and so not harmful to agricultural workers.

Natural Healing Waters Around the World

You can find natural healing waters in different countries such as India, Mexico, France, India, Germany, and Japan where people go to get the tremendous benefits from the therapeutic waters. What scientists have found as the reason these waters are so beneficial is due to the natural properties of dissolved molecular hydrogen.

As a result of their findings Japan and Korea developed water electrolysis to provide even better and more sustainable health benefits provided from drinking water with a greater number of hydrogen molecules than normal tap or well water. Water electrolysis is deemed one of the greatest advancements in health in the last half century. Not everyone is capable of going to the exotic healing waters but everyone can drink a glass of hydrogen-enriched water.

Japan and Korea have approved ionized water as a medical substance but it has only recently in 2007 been realized that something as natural and simple as molecular hydrogen could have such stunning biological benefits. After an article was published in the Nature Medicine Journal there began a new understanding of the active role of hydrogen gas and the secret why thousands of people had benefited from ionized water was finally understood.

The Fountain of Youth

Since the beginning of time there has been talk of natural healing spring waters providing miraculous healings and outstanding longevity. Whether the stories are true or mere mythical legends what is known about these waters is that they all have one thing in common – they all contain available dissolved hydrogen gas and all investigations show the waters to be therapeutic.

Is it any wonder that something so basic to the origins of life and health would still benefit us today? Perhaps that is why God gave us natural springs rich in hydrogen gas to benefit His creation. Hydrogen appears to benefit all forms of life including plants and animals.

We live and die at the cellular level. Young, healthy cells make an abundance of special molecules that speed healing and enhance cell-to-cell communication. These molecules are called Redox Signaling Molecules, and they are vital to keeping your body young and healthy. As we get older, our bodies’ ability to make these molecules decreases resulting in the appearance of the aging process.

One of the benefits of ionized water is having softer, moister skin while dryness, tightness and flakiness are the results of not getting enough hydration to the skin causing wrinkles. Water is essential to maintain skin moisture and is the vehicle for delivering essential nutrients to the skin cells but as we get older regular water does not permeate the cells as well as younger skin. Older skin has more damage and needs a secret formula namely molecular hydrogen to come to its aid. Water infused with hydrogen is just what our skin needs to repair itself and look and feel younger.

It is important to note that for softer, moist skin, an adequate amount of water is even more important than topically applied lotions. But when lotions are used in conjunction with hydogen water they are more effective and last longer.
