After a close family member was diagnosed with bladder cancer, I challenged myself to find a cure. It worked. Now I’m sharing it with you.

I can’t take the credit for curing cancer- I merely learned of a cure through research. Because all of my previous research focused on water and optimizing health, researching a disease was new territory for me. There is plenty of misinformation and scams, to be sure, so let me save you some time and heartache.

You may be wondering why I thought a cure existed at all. That if there was a cure, it would surely be well-known. Sorry, not the case. Healthcare is a business. Cancer is big business. I wouldn’t expect any non-patentable cure to be publicized. In fact, I wouldn’t even expect a patentable cure in the near future. Profit is in the disease, not in the cure. In many cases, doctors prescribing natural cures for cancer have been run right out of the country. A bit of advice: Until money no longer clouds the morals of individuals, and corporations no longer dictate government policy, take health matters into your own hands.

Would you believe that cancer is caused by a common, and normally harmless, intestinal parasite? Would you believe that industrial solvents used in processed and packaged foods, body care products, and other household items, creates a mechanism whereby this normally harmless parasite can wreak havoc?

What about smoking? What about all the other carcinogenic compounds? Forget about carcinogens. Know that everything one eats and comes into contact with, even electromagnetic energy from mobile phones and wifi, if unnatural, weakens our natural defenses and leaves us susceptible to disease. Disease finds a home in the weakest organs of the weakest bodies. Genetics play a part, as we all have our biological strengths and weaknesses, but it is living unnaturally that ultimately allows for disease.

If so, why doesn’t just about everyone contract cancer? Honestly, this is exactly where the statistics show we are headed. However, a better question would be, why don’t two people consuming the same diet and living an identical lifestyle, both contract cancer instead of just one of them? The answer is that certain people are simply genetically superior when it comes to detoxification. The solvents do not build up and thus cancer is not a possibility. As I state in my personal health philosophy, the InClean Manifesto, “My genes do not determine the likelihood of disease, only what I am susceptible to if I do not maintain InClean.”

The cure for cancer in three steps:

1. Kill the ‘Human Intestinal Parasites,’ Fasciolopsis buski and Fasciolopsis magna, and all their developmental stages
2. Eliminate all sources of propyl alcohol compounds (such as isopropyl alcohol, C₃H₈O & (CH₃)₂CHOH, or any product with an ingredient containing ‘prop’ in the name)
3. Drink copious amounts of AquaLiv to aid in detoxification and to reduce the harm of the inevitable future exposure to solvent compounds

Time to give credit where credit is due. I discovered this possible cure reading a book “The Cure and Prevention of All Cancers” by Dr. Hulda Clark. I read the 1993 version and much of the nutritional information was out of date. Surprisingly, we now have much better access to organic, non-GMO, minimally-processed foods, and more healthful, humanely raised meats than in 1993. Progress is slow, but we are getting there. I’ve also heard from several blog readers that the 1993 version is much better than the newer versions that are available.

Some parts of the book may be a little ‘out there’ for some. Do not let this bias you against trying this simple and effective anti-cancer protocol.

Here is a link to the 1993 version at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Cure-All-Cancers-Including-Histories/dp/1890035009/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1273777145&sr=8-3

A Summary of the Book

Solvent compounds build up in the body and allow the human intestinal fluke to take residence in a weak organ in the body. As the fluke reproduces, in certain developmental stages, ortho-phospho-tyrosine, a natural growth factor is secreted. This assists the development of the fluke, but causes human cells to abnormally multiply. Cancer is the result.

Three high-potency natural supplements are prescribed to kill the parasite and all its developmental stages. It is up to the patient to eliminate exposure to solvent compounds and detoxify. Do not underestimate the importance of the latter, as the conditions that allow for cancer will persist unless one cleanses and detoxifies. Lifestyle changes will be required to stay cancer-free.

The 1993 version includes over 100 case studies- I read them all. I also performed the complete anti-cancer protocol myself, before prescribing it to my family member with cancer.

My Case Study

My family member has worked in an industrial setting for most of his life and is a heavy smoker. He largely eats a ‘meat and potatoes’ diet, and dislikes most vegetables in any form. He had seen the oncologist on two occasions before starting the anti-cancer protocol. Both times the doctor had to ’scrape away’ the cancerous areas of the bladder, and the cancer showed no signs of abating. After following the protocol religiously, the next visit to the oncologist revealed the cancer had abated and was no more visible than the head of a pin.

During this time, no other treatments were received by the family member or medications taken. There were no lifestyle changes or supplements taken, outside of that recommended in Dr. Clark’s book, and drinking large amounts of AquaLiv. By all assessments the cancer should have continued to grow, but it disappeared. This all happened in less than 30 days, so it was quite easy to monitor and observe for other possible contributors.

In my assessment, at least in this case, Dr. Clark’s protocol worked. Therefore, it should work for others as well. Of course, it may not work for all. The process may need to be repeated in some cases, and more attention be given to environmental cleansing. Be vigilant in eliminating all sources of solvent exposure to the patient.

All required supplements for the anti-cancer protocol are available at Dr. Clark’s store, listed under ‘parasite cleanse.’ I’m sure FDA fears inspired that listing. http://www.drclark.net/en/products_devices/vitamins.php

I strongly suggest reading the book before before embarking on the protocol. I also want to give thanks to Dr. Clark for curing my family member of cancer. Thank you, Dr. Clark.

It is that time of year again. Spring is in bloom, lawns are being mowed, and pollen is in the air. Before the pollen-count gets too high, consider these five ways to reduce allergy symptoms without resorting to pharmaceutical drugs.

Eat local bee pollen and/or pure, raw honey

If you are familiar with the concept of vaccinations, this is Mother Nature’s all-natural, seasonal allergy vaccination. Consuming local bee pollen and/or pure, raw honey will allow your immune system to build natural antibodies to the pollens you are most frequently exposed to. Bee pollen is much more effective than honey and is also free of sugar. Be aware, honey that is not 100% raw will have limited benefits, if any. This is best to start before allergy season.

My wife makes a terrific ‘morning-shake’ with bee pollen and honey. We mix all the ingredients below into a Vita-Mix blender, but any powerful blender will do. Serves two.

• 1 banana
• 1 tbsp of local raw honey
• 1 tbsp of local bee pollen
• 1 tbsp of almond butter
• 1 tbsp of shelled hemp seeds
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups of AquaLiv, purified water, or coconut water (add more if too thick)

Cleanse the bowel

Truth is, most allergies, including seasonal allergies, are a result of compromised immune function. The number one contributor to a compromised immune system is a toxic bowel. Processed and cooked foods lack the key enzymes required to digest them. The result is a putrid layer of mucoid plaque that lines the bowel. Not only does this plaque prevent us from utilizing much of the nutrients we eat, but it is a constant source of toxic burden to the body. We have had more than a few customers report that illnesses and allergies they had been dealing with for years, disappeared after bowel cleansing. I used to have severe seasonal allergies myself, but they are practically non-existent now. I attribute this to bowel cleansing and drinking AquaLiv.

Two herbal products I have personally used and can recommend are Dr. Group’s Oxygen Cleanse (the first link below) and the popular cleanse by Dr. Natura. I would start with Dr. Group’s product and protocol. You can also visit a clinic for colon hydrotherapy.

Leave that nose hair where it belongs!

This one is mostly for guys, but applies to all of us. The hair in our nostrils act as a natural filter, blocking a large amount of the allergens we breathe. I’m not suggesting you stop trimming altogether, but merely trim at the opening of the nostril and leave it at that. Don’t forget to blow often during allergy season. This expels trapped allergens and hydrates your ‘filter’ for maximum effectiveness.

Try butterbur (Petasites hybridus)

This European herb has had some very impressive clinical results for allergies and hay fever. In one study recently published in the British Medical Journal, a group of Swiss researchers demonstrated that taking one tablet of butterbur four times daily controls the symptoms of hay fever just a well as a popular antihistamine drug- without the common symptoms of drowsiness. Another study showed so much promise in the area of grass pollen allergies, that the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI) gave it their stamp of approval for this purpose.

Drink AquaLiv

In our 2007 Allergy Study, 90% of participants showed a decrease in allergy symptoms when following a two liter minimum per day protocol. The study consisted of 18 participants during the Spring allergy season. AquaLiv helps eliminate toxins from the body while boosting immune strength. Many long time AquaLiv drinkers also report catching the common cold much less frequently than before drinking AquaLiv. Study results below.

• No Change : 10%
• Symptoms Reduced : 56%
• Symptoms Greatly Reduced : 28%
• Symptoms Practically Gone : 6%

Do you know of other natural ways to reduce seasonal allergy symptoms? Share them with us in a comment below.

My dream is an AquaLiv HOME System in the home of every health conscious family. For a $2500 water system, that is a big goal. Now it is closer to reality for two reasons: rent to own financing and a generous referral program.

Here are the details on both programs:

Rent to Own Financing

• $999 down, $99 per month (20 months)
• No credit check required.
• 90-Day Unconditional Money Back Guarantee.
• After 90 days, send the system back and we stop billing. Period.
• You are never ‘in debt’ with us.

AquaLiv HOME Referral Program

Refer a friend to the AquaLiv HOME system. When they purchase and…

You are a Rent to Own Customer:

• If they choose Rent to Own- Skip your next $99 payment.
• If they choose to Pay in Full- Skip your next $99 payment & last two $99 payments.

You are a Paid in Full Customer:

• If they choose Rent to Own- Receive a Check for $100.
• If they Pay in Full- Receive a Check for $300.

I am always striving to make my water systems more affordable. About a year and a half ago, when the AquaLiv HOME System was first released, it was priced at $9000. And, they were selling at that price- it was surprising even to me. Now it is down to $2500 and, unfortunately, I do not see it coming down any further. I know $2500 is still a lot for most families and I’m hoping these two programs make drinking perfect water, closer to reality.

This article contains an enormous amount of data regarding the toxic effects of fluoridated water. Most of you will not read the entire article before arriving at the conclusion that fluoride must be removed from your water. At that time, the question will arise, “how can fluoride be removed in the safest manner possible?” Please allow me to answer this question first, before presenting the data.

Fluoride is difficult to remove, so most purification brands avoid mentioning it. Standard purification methods, such as Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) and Carbon Blocks, will NOT remove fluoride. This includes all PUR, Brita, Aquasana, etc. filters on the market.

Outside of Distillation and Reverse Osmosis, both of which also remove ALL beneficial trace minerals, there are two primary ways to remove Fluoride. Activated Alumina and BC-Carbon.

Activated Alumina
Activated Alumina is the most commonly used fluoride removal media today. This media is essentially granulated or powdered aluminum (aluminum oxide) that is preconditioned with chemicals. It is generally quite effective at removing fluoride, but is a toxic compound in its own right. In fact, if you are considering any filter system with Activated Alumina, be sure the system has KDF media DOWNSTREAM of the Activated Alumina. This will offer some level of protection when Alumina makes its way into your water, as it will. You can expect a greater than 90% removal of Fluoride with Activated Alumina.

Summary:
Effective, Toxic, Contaminates Landfills & Groundwater

Bone-Char Carbon
BC-Carbon has been used for centuries (ancient Egypt) to remove naturally occurring fluoride from water, although most companies have never heard of it. In addition to being little known, BC-Carbon is not more widely used because it only removes Fluoride to greater than 70%. This is because BC-Carbon also likes to bond with heavy metals. We have found this limitation can be overcome by removing most contaminates, including heavy metals, BEFORE water reaches the BC-Carbon, in addition to using more of it. In properly designed systems, you can also expect to achieve a greater than 90% removal of Fluoride with BC-Carbon.

Summary:
Effective (when used correctly), Non-Toxic, Environmentally Friendly, Renewable Resource

We previously used Activated Alumina on all of our Fluoride filters here at AquaLiv Inc., but have since re-engineered our entire line for use with BC-Carbon. When it comes to designing filters systems, our commitment is to create the most effective, natural, and safe, systems possible- for you and the planet.

Customer Verified: We knew our all-natural fluoride reducing technology could remove near 100% of municipally added fluoride without also removing beneficial minerals. A customer with over five times that amount had our system tested and it still removed 81%! The testing laboratory was so impressed, they inquired about the make and model of filter. (test report available upon request)

The following data reprinted from holisticmed.com.

Fluoride compounds which are put in water (fluoridation), toothpaste and supplement tablets (including some vitamins) were never tested for safety before approval. Recent independent research by scientists not associated with dental trade organizations has shown the following:

Neurotoxic, Lowers IQ
In 1995, neurotoxicologist and former Director of toxicology at Forsyth Dental Center in Boston, Dr. Phyllis Mullenix published research showing that fluoride built up in the brains of animals when exposed to moderate levels. Damage to the brain occurred and the behavior patterns of the animals was adversely effected. Offspring of pregnant animals receiving relatively low doses of fluoride showed permanent effects to the brain which were seen as hyperactivity (ADD-like symptoms). Young animals and adult animals given fluoride experienced the opposite effect — hyperactivity or sluggishness. The toxic effects of fluoride on the central nervous system was subsequently confirmed by previously-classified government research. Two new epidemiological studies which tend to confirm fluoride’s neurotoxic effects on the brain have shown that children exposed to higher levels of fluoride had lower IQs.

Neurotoxic
A study published in Brain Research shows that rats drinking only 1 part per million fluoride (NaF) in water had histologic lesions in their brain similar to Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. In addition, evidence was seen pointing to possible damage to the blood brain barrier from extended fluoride exposure. This study was the third in a series of papers published by Varner et al. Brain Research Vol. 784 No. 12 p 284-298 (1998). Results of this recent study and other studies showing significant dangers from low-level fluoride exposure were presented at a recent scientific symposium.

Causes Cancer
The Department of Health in New Jersey found that bone cancer in male children was between two and seven times greater in areas where water was fluoridated. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) researchers confirmed the bone cancer-causing effects of fluoride at low levels in an animal model. A new study has shown that fluoridation of water is linked to uterine cancer deaths.

Changes Bone Structure and Strength
Fluoride gradually builds up in the bones and causes adverse changes to the bone structure. Quite a few studies have shown that fluoridation leads to increases in hip fractures. The tensile strength of the hip is destroyed over time by fluoride ingestion.

Causes Birth Defects and Perinatal Deaths
A toxicologist in the United Kingdom recently found that perinatal deaths in a fluoridated area was 15% higher than in neighboring non-fluoridated areas. The fluoridated area had a higher socio-economic status and would have been expected to have less perinatal deaths. The fluoridated area also had a 30% higher rate of Down’s Syndrome. Chile banned fluoridation because of research by the world-renowned researcher, Dr Albert Schatz, which showed a link to infant deaths due to fluoridation.

Proven Ineffective
Fluoride compounds in water and in supplements do not provide any significant cavity-protecting effects. All of the recent large-scale studies of water fluoridation have shown that there are no positive effects. That is why countries without fluoridation have shown an equal improvement in dental health as those with fluoridation. (See Research Item #5.) There is scientific evidence that excessive fluoride exposure leads to increased levels of caries. Even pro-fluoridation scientists admit that there is not any properly-conducted research showing that fluoride supplements help prevent cavities. (Note: check vitamins carefully to be sure they do not include fluoride.)

Impairs Immune System
Independent research has shown that fluoride impairs the functioning of the immune system. In the United States, where toxic fluoride compounds are regularly added to water and given to children since the 1960s and 1970s, we are beginning to see an overwhelming number of people of that generation who are developing chronic immune system disorders.

Causes Acute Adverse Reactions
Several double-blind studies have shown that fluoridated water can often cause acute adverse reactions (in addition to the chronic poisoning effects discussed below). Some of the effects seen in double-blind studies include: gastrointestinal symptoms, stomatitis, joint pains, polydipsia, headaches, visual disturbances, muscular weakness, and extreme tiredness. An enlightening review of a book by one famous and well-respected researcher from The Netherlands who found adverse reactions in double-blind experiments can be read here.

Causes Initial Stages of Skeletal Fluorosis
Fluoride can cause severe skeletal fluorosis at high levels. Chronic, long-term exposure to levels of fluoride commonly found in water and food in the U.S. can cause the beginning stages of skeletal fluorosis including: pains in bones and joints, sensations of burning, pricking, and tingling in the limbs, muscle weakness, chronic fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders, reduced appetite, backache, osteoarthritis, etc. In fact, decades of ingestion of fluoride from water and other common sources can be expected to cause these symptoms in large numbers of people based on calculations of fluoride intake and excretion. (Keep in mind that fluoride is a cumulative poison since it builds up in the body of years.) Very few healthcare practitioners are capable of diagnosing such a condition because healthcare practitioners are not trained to test for or recognize the effects chronic poisoning from fluoride.

Increases Lead and Arsenic Exposure
Fluoride compounds put into water are often contaminated with lead, arsenic and radio nuclides since the fluoride compounds are toxic waste byproducts which largely come from pollution scrubbers of fertilizer plants. Astudy published in 2000 showed that the dumping of toxic silicofluoride compounds into water (“fluoridation”) causes an increase in blood lead levels in children.

Fluoride Causes Osteoarthritis
In a study published in Rhuematology International in 2001, researchers found a link between fluoride exposure and the development of osteoarthritis. The level of exposure that caused osteoarthritis is common in the United States.

Contributes to the Development of Repetitive Stress Injury
A clinical study in New Zealand showed that fluoride ingestion may be a contributing factor in the development of Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI) since such ingestion may encourage the development of apatite crystal formation. Elimination of fluoride plus regular supplementation of magnesium appeared to help RSI patients considerably.

Causes Permanent Disfigurement of the Teeth in Many Children
A very large and increasing number of children are experiencing dental fluorosis which is a permanent adverse structural change to the teeth.

Inhibits Key Enzymes
As fluoride builds up in different parts of the body over decades it can disrupt the actions of many key enzymes. This fact has been known for a long time.

Suppresses Thyroid Function
Fluoride was given at low levels during the early to mid 20th century as an effective way of suppressing thyroid function and treating hyperthyroidism. Articles and research can be found on the Thyroid web page.

Causes Large Numbers of Acute Poisonings
Fluoride is an extremely poisonous substances at exceptionally low doses and has caused a large number of acute poisonings. This is why a poison warning is now required on fluoridated toothpastes sold in the U.S.

Independent Experts Oppose Dumping Fluoride Into Water
Over 1500 professionals at the US EPA, including toxicologists and risk assessment experts, voted unanimously to oppose the fluoridation initiative in California because of the health risks involved. See summary or official EPA union statement. Even a Canadian Dental Association Consultant and Researcher urged people to avoid drinking fluoridated water.

Unethical
Fluoridation amounts to forced medication of the water supply. Such practices demonstrate a complete lack of ethics on the part of its promoters. Studies as early the 1930s showed extreme hazards to man and the environment due to fluoride dumping and exposure. Companies and organizations involved used the promotion of “fluoridation” as a way to avoid lawsuits due to dumping toxic wastes and later for economic gain. Please read the short history of fluoridation for more detailed information.

Banned in Many Countries
Fluoridation is not legal or not used in the overwhelming number of countries including industrialized countries. Please see Fluoride Status of Countries web page.

Many independent researchers, organizations, holistic healthcare experts, and a growing number of dentists are warning their patients to avoid fluoridated water and fluoridated toothpaste. Definitely do not give children any fluoride since they appear to be more susceptible to the neurological toxicity.

What is this miraculous property? It is called hydrogen-bonding, and it is nothing short of a miracle. According to science, water should be a gas- not a liquid. Yet, this simple hydrogen-bond, the loose connection between adjoining water molecules, prevents it from becoming a gas. Known science says ‘water should not do this’ as it does not occur in similar fluids. Known science has also proven that bumble-bees cannot fly… Of course, this merely means Mother Nature knows more than current science- she always will.

This same property that prevents water from being a gas, also gives water a form of memory. Because there is also another form of water memory, I term this particular type, Macro-Memory. This is because it depends on many interconnected water molecules working in unison, behaving more like a macromolecule. To understand Macro-Memory, we first need to understand what causes hydrogen-bonding and also what happens when something is dissolved in water.

Hydrogen-bonding is the result of water being a dipole molecule- that is, it has two poles. This means that on the physical molecule, some areas have a positive electrical charge while other areas have a negative electrical charge. Just as a pile of small magnets (each with a north and south pole) would all connect together into a big clump, water molecules connect to one another. Specifically it is the oxygen atom of the water molecule that maintains the negative charge and two hydrogen atoms that maintain the positive charge. An oxygen atom is also much, much larger than a hydrogen atom. In this way, the positively charged hydrogen atoms of water molecules are attracted to and become loosely attached to the large oxygen atom, with lots of connecting space, of other water molecules.

We think of water as simply being H₂O, but really water is only water when two or more molecules are bound together in hydrogen-bonds.

Now that we understand hydrogen-bonding is a result of water being a dipole molecule, we can also understand what happens when something is dissolved in water. Let us use common table salt as an example.

Common table salt has the chemical formula NaCl, sodium chloride. It is one sodium atom bound to one chlorine atom. Most of the time salt is a solid, forming a lovely crystalline structure. It is beyond the scope of this article to discuss ionic bonds, the phenomenon that allows the sodium and chlorine to join together. Let us just say for this discussion that sodium, having no electrical charge, gives up an electron to the chlorine who wants it more. Since sodium lost an electron (which has a negative electrical charge), the sodium now has a positive charge and is chemically written as Na⁺. Since the chlorine molecule now has the extra electron, it now has a negative charge, Cl^-. We know what happens when something has a positive charge and something has a negative charge, do we not? They attract, and this particular bond as a result of this attraction is called an ionic bond. This ionic bond was explained in a series of steps, but truthfully the sodium is never without the electron as it shares it with the chlorine. However, the above explanation will help you better understand what happens when salt is dissolved in water.

Water begins to penetrate the crystalline structure of the bulk salt, separating the individual molecules. Then it begins to work its way in between the sodium and the chlorine that make up the individual molecules. As mentioned above, the chlorine has a high affinity for the electron, so as the water works its way between the sodium and the chlorine, the chlorine keeps the shared electron. Now we no longer have salt, but two separate ions, Na⁺ and Cl^-. One would tend to think that the Na⁺ and Cl^- would immediately want to come back together because of their opposite charges, but they cannot sense each others’ charge because water is an insulator. Being an insulator means it does not allow for the ready transfer or sharing of electrons. This insulating layer of water that immediately surrounds the newly formed ions, is termed hydration.

Do you find it interesting that a water molecule has both a positive and a negative electrical charge and does not conduct electricity? I do. Now, let us look at how Macro-Memory works.

Water as a dipole molecule, will not surround that which is dissolved in it randomly. For instance, Na⁺ has a positive charge, so it is the negatively charged oxygen atom of the water molecule that moves in close. Na⁺ has its own unique size and charge-density, so only a finite number of water molecules (parked oxygen first) can surround it. This first layer of water molecules to bond with a dissolved substance is called the ‘hydration layer’. Then, according to the dipole effect of hydrogen-bonding, other water molecules bond in turn with the water molecules that formed the hydration layer.

This entire bonding structure of the water surrounding the sodium ion, is unique to the sodium ion!

This phenomenon is the basis of Macro-Memory. The bonding structure of water surrounding something is unique to that something. And, when that something is no longer present, large parts of this bonding structure will remain. That is, until something else re-structures the water.

In homeopathy, it has been found that simply shaking a small vile containing such a ‘water structure’ with other non or loosely structured water, will cause the other water molecules to bond according to the predominant structure. This is how homeopathic remedies are created. Homeopathy has also proven that the immune system responds to this water structure as if the original structuring element (Na⁺ in the example above) were actually present. In this way a large immune response can be created without actually subjecting the patient to the original structuring element.

“Water has a structural memory and a structural variability, and because of this it can store acquired information over a long period of time and hand it over to the body.”

Engler & Kokoschinegg, 1988

Unfortunately, most of the water we drink today either presently contains harmful pollutants or very recently contained them. The problem with Macro-Memory is that fairly large portions of these unique bonding structures are present in the water we drink, even after these pollutants have been removed- so much for filtration. As homeopathy has shown us, the immune system responds to these unique bonding structures whether or not the original structuring element is actually present. Do you think the immune system might be more effective if its energies were focused on actual problems?

So, how do we erase Macro-Memory? It seems the longer water has bonded in a particular structure, the more apt it is to re-bond in that same way, even if momentarily altered (a Micro-Memory effect). Such is the case with standard purification. Distillation removes most Macro-Memory, but the re-condensed water immediately picks up a new structure based on the construction materials within the machine, mostly metals and plastics. Have you ever tasted distilled water? It generally has a metallic and plastic taste. A similar scenario emerges from Reverse Osmosis devices.

The most reliable method for erasing Macro-Memory, is also the method used by Mother Nature- the spiraling vortex action in fast-flowing rivers and streams. This same natural process is mimicked in my [Vo/Im] technology found in the InClean Water GOLD series and the AquaLiv HOME system, both available at InCleanHealth.com/water-filters.

Coincidently, it was recently discovered that blood moves in a spiraling action in veins and arteries.

This vortex action simultaneously stretches the existing structure while adding energy. This added energy locks in the new structure, permanently erasing Macro-Memory.

Stay tuned for Water Memory, Part Two: Micro-Memory.

Water is restructured by the body for various uses. This restructuring requires an energy expenditure from the body. In many cases, electrons are added to restructure the water. For example, the highest-energy hexagonal form of water is used to provide a dense support lattice for DNA while at the same time shielding the DNA from free-radical damage. These electrons come from the body’s own electrical potential, including any anti-oxidant compounds that may be circulating. Of course, we want to keep our electrical potential as high as possible and use those anti-oxidant compounds for neutralizing free-radicals, not processing our drinking water. Sipping these types of waters is a good thing. The body’s electrical potential will not drop too low and anti-oxidant compounds will not be expended.

Enhanced or structured water is different. Let us take AquaLiv for example. It is already in the high-energy hexagonal form. When AquaLiv is processed by the body, it often adds to the body’s electrical potential. It also never depletes the body’s anti-oxidant reserves. In the case of AquaLiv, you can probably now imagine that simply sipping all day will severely limit your benefits. This is also why AquaLiv has a very high anti-oxidant effect while having a slightly positive Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) measurement. (A positive ORP measurement usually means a substance is oxidizing.)

Water enhanced by the Hydrogen Stick is similar. The stick lightly restructures water, but more importantly, adds molecular hydrogen (H₂). This H₂ is broken down by the body into hydrogen anions, H^-. H^- is a fantastic anti-oxidant. It readily gives its electron to neutralize free-radicals while the remaining hydrogen atom is then available to power the ATP engine of every cell. Sipping hydrogen rich water will limit your benefits. Drink, do not sip.

How to Drink Enhanced Water

Consume a minimum of 8 ounces (235mL) at a time- 12 ounces (350mL) is optimal

The purpose of drinking larger volumes, in addition to the electrical and anti-oxidant potential mentioned above, is two-fold. First, the goal is complete hydration. The foods, beverages, pollution, and stress of modern living, rarely allow for anyone to be perfectly hydrated. Second, we need enhanced water in excess of what is required for mere hydration. This provides a signal to the body to jump detoxification processes into overdrive.

Never drink enhanced water within 30 minutes of eating or until two hours after eating

If you are drinking adequately throughout the day, there is no reason to drink while eating. If you feel you must drink something, sip as little as possible. Know that this is a sure sign you are dehydrated. Drinking while eating dilutes your digestive acids and enzymes. Your body must now work much harder to digest your food. If you are one of those people who monitors your pH due to chronic acidosis, simply following this rule will cause your body to create much less acidic compounds.

Monitor the total volume of water you drink

The general rule of thumb is to consume half your body weight (pounds) in ounces of water every day. For someone who weighs 180 pounds, this would be 90 ounces or 2.6 liters. Are you overweight for your frame, suffering from dis-ease, chronically fatigued, eating a less than perfect diet, or living a less than natural lifestyle? In any of these cases, you need to drink more!

Consider jumpstarting your hydration and detoxification with the AquaLiv Cleanse

When waking in the morning, rinse your mouth with an all-natural antiseptic mouthwash. Then, proceed to drink one liter of AquaLiv or Hydrogen Rich Water, all at once. This will get your day off to a great start by eliminating or neutralizing those metabolic nasties that build up at night. Yes, you may not be able to drink a whole liter at first, but you will with practice. I drink one liter every morning. AquaLiv doesn’t leave you with a bloated feeling for anywhere near as long as regular water. More information about the AquaLiv Cleanse can be found here: http://aqualiv.net/aqualiv-cleanse

In summary, getting the most benefit from enhanced or structured waters requires drinking 8-12 oz at a time. Sipping will only limit your results and make it very hard to consume the recommended daily volume of water.

Updating the current legal levels for contaminates represents a serious expenditure for polluting manufacturers and local water treatment plants. Between government lobbyists, military officials, and in some cases even the public at large, all are protecting their pocketbook over the health of the populace. Such changes would have enough impact that one military official pronounced them ‘unpatriotic’. I respectfully disagree.

These changes, though costly, are absolutely critical. While many of us can afford our own water purification system a great many more of us cannot. The costs associated with these changes really mean less corporate profits as it is the polluters themselves who will get hit the hardest. Furthermore, investing in the water infrastructure not only protects health, but also provides jobs right here in the United States. Local municipal water systems will be challenged by new standards, but through stricter monitoring and gradual upgrades, they will succeed in doing their part in protecting the health of the citizens who rely upon them so much.

Unfortunately, this conversation does not apply only to those with municipally supplied water. Those who own private wells need to be just as concerned. This is really a conversation about environmental pollution- many municipalities get their water from wells too.

After reading the article yourself, one thing will be clear. We cannot rely on the government to provide safe drinking water or to adequately protect the environment from pollution. While we must continue to demand stricter standards for water quality and stricter regulation of polluters, we have a responsibility to act today in any way we can to secure clean, health-promoting water.

Anyone who takes their health seriously needs to take water quality into their own hands. We have many systems right here at InCleanHealth.com that can provide you and your family with quality, worry-free water for just pennies a day.

We will discuss in this article that an alkaline pH reading, when measured in drinking water, can be the result of either a natural or unnatural cause. I will also detail why it is only the naturally alkaline pH that benefits health, while the unnatural causes problems; even though a testing device will measure both as 9.5, for example.

pH stands for the ‘power or potential’ of hydrogen. It is a dimensionless figure that represents the theoretical ratio of free H⁺ (hydrogen cations) and thus OH^- (hydroxide anions). More H⁺ we have an acid and more OH^- we have a base. The scale runs 0 to 14 and a pH of 7 is considered neutral, under 7 acid, and over 7 a base. Anything over 7 is also called alkaline. pH is a logarithmic scale. Each point higher or lower is 10 times more acidic or alkaline than the previous point.

Pure water is the basis of the pH scale and has a neutral pH of 7. Are you wondering why pure water, H₂O, has any H⁺ or OH^- at all, if it is indeed pure water? The answer to this question is a chemical phenomenon known as dissociation. Even in pure water some H₂O molecules are always dissociating or breaking up into H⁺ and OH^- ions. Generally they are also recombining into H₂O at about the same rate. I call this the Dissociation Dance.

It is important to note that the context of this article is drinking water only. Healthy, natural drinking water includes the water itself and minerals, void of any toxins or poisons. It would overly confuse matters to include in this discussion all the various things we could add to water and how they effect pH.

The Dissociation Dance is always occurring in water. Some minerals added to water can effect this dissociation and recombining by ‘mingling’ with the H₂O and ions. In the case of alkali earth metals such as calcium and magnesium, they influence the Dissociation Dance to fall out of balance and the water becomes more alkaline.

Water that is alkaline (a pH over 7) is more healthful as it provides mineral assets to the body. While not all of these minerals are nutritionally available, they do indeed buffer acids. Many health crusaders sacrificed their own health, albeit unintentionally, to give us this information- allow me to elaborate.

At one time, health fanatics raved about the benefits of demineralized water, generally distilled water. The underlying principle being that this is the purest water you can get. ‘Pure’ of course meaning nothing but water itself. It aided detoxification while not adding toxins when consumed. Great. However, astute physicians became aware of a growing trend. People consuming demineralized water (distilled or reverse osmosis) almost always became afflicted with a severe loss of bone density. This loss of bone density directly linked to drinking demineralized water stems from a few causes.

People living in ‘modern’ times generally live a life that is far removed from what is natural. Both increased stress and poor diets of overly processed and unnatural foods cause an excess of acidic conditions in the body. The body, which is perfectly capable of maintaining its own pH balance, uses minerals to buffer acid. When it is not getting enough of those minerals from the food or water ingested, it robs calcium from its own bones to neutralize the acid. This is further aggravated by the fact that demineralized water has a strong affinity to bond with minerals. Many of the food supplied minerals these individuals were consuming ended up expelled in urine without the body ever having an opportunity to utilize them. Drinking demineralized water is not a good thing. Maybe this is why it is so rarely found in nature?

At about the same time these facts were being discussed in the medical community, a machine from Japan called a water ionizer was beginning to gain popularity. These machines use a process called electrolysis, the splitting of water molecules with electricity, to artificially create a new type of alkaline water. Quite a few clinical studies, particularly in Japan, were performed using this water, which is scientifically referred to as ERW or Electrolyzed Reduced Water (also erroneously called alkaline, ionized water). Like all good studies, physical characteristics of the test water were noted such as pH, ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential), etc. A few of these studies sited a number of benefits observed from drinking this water. This is where capitalism stepped in.

Overnight it seemed the number of companies building and marketing these machines skyrocketed. Multi-level marketing programs were also built around them. Most notably is Enagic Inc., manufacturer of the Kangen water machines. Other manufacturers include Jupiter, KYK, and the list goes on. In a flurry of marketing and ‘less than scientific’ assessments, the health benefits derived from drinking ERW were erroneously bestowed upon the alkaline pH.

This all brings up an interesting question. If it is the minerals from alkaline water that the body needs, what is it possibly getting from an artificially created pH? That is, a pH not derived from the mineral content of the water, but rather electrolysis, merely creating an abundance of OH^- and less H⁺. Can the body utilize these ions as if they were minerals? The answer is no. Does any water found in nature have a pH that does not perfectly match its mineral content? Again, no. The truth is, outside of the first 30 or so days of consumption, all ionizer benefits are a result of the negatively charged ion of hydrogen, H^-. The H^- is also responsible for the negative ORP measurement commonly referred to by the sellers of these machines.

While a pH test device may indicate two waters each have a pH of 9.5, this reading is merely an indicator of an effect and does not relay any cause. For this reason, I have coined two terms relative to pH. Stable and unstable. A stable pH is a pH that perfectly corresponds to the mineral content of the water. It is stable because the minerals in the water continually influence the Dissociation Dance and hold the pH relatively steady. An unstable pH is a pH where the H⁺ and OH^- concentrations were artificially altered. An unstable pH does not correspond to the mineral content in the water. It is unstable because the water will more quickly revert back to a pH that is in harmony with its actual mineral content.

If you only take one thing away from this article it should be this: An alkaline pH is only beneficial to the body if it is natural, i.e. due to minerals in the water. All water coming from nature has a pH that perfectly corresponds to its mineral content.

The most common side effects of consuming water with an unstable pH is nervous tension, over-alkalization in the upper bowel, and compromised immune function. However, much more severe side effects were revealed in a clinical study involving mice. The study revealed injury to cardiac tissues (heart muscle) resulted from drinking ERW (Electrolyzed Reduced Water). In a time when cardiac disease is a leading killer, ERW is not an appropriate choice for drinking water.

From a natural standpoint, Electrolyzed Reduced Water is the GMO food (Genetically Modified Organism) of the water world. It is incredibly artificial and unnatural, never to be found in nature. If history has shown us anything, it is the further we remove ourselves from what is natural, the more our bodies fall out of balance and become susceptible to disease.

All ionizer machines (like Kangen) provide hydrogen derived benefits. They also provide unstable pH side-effects. It is not possible for an ionizer machine to separate the two. Fortunately, it is possible to get the hydrogen benefits without side-effects by using a small device known as a Hydrogen Water Stick; specifically Dr. Hayashi’s Hydrogen-Rich Water Stick. This small stick, when placed in a water bottle, creates hydrogen-rich water for up to six months. Not surprisingly, it was Dr. Hayashi who performed many of the ionizer machine (Kangen, etc.) clinical studies cited earlier. Again, the Hydrogen Water Stick provides all the benefits of hydrogen without the harmful side effects of an unstable pH. The Hydrogen Water Stick is available here at InClean Health and at Hydrogen Friends. Hydrogen Friends also has the most information available online about the Hydrogen Water Stick.

In summary, an unstable pH harms the body and should be avoided. Ionizer machines like Kangen do not provide any benefits as a result of their unstable pH. All the benefits of such machines are a result of hydrogen (H^-). You want to consume H₂ or H^- for hydrogen health benefits, not OH^-. In the case of ERW, H^- is responsible for the negative ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) measurement.

When it comes to alkaline water, only a stable pH provides the body with lasting benefits. A stable alkaline water combats osteoporosis while providing the body ample acid-buffering reserves. If you live a less than perfect lifestyle, a stable alkaline water is a necessity.
