The chemistry of life.

A High percentage of living things, both plant and animal are found in water. All life on earth is thought to have arisen from water. The bodies of all living organisms are composed largely of water. About 70 to 90 percent of all organic matter is water.

The chemical reactions in all plants and animals that support life take place in a water medium. Water not only provides the medium to make these life sustaining reactions possible, but water itself is often an important reactant or product of these reactions. In short, the chemistry of life is water chemistry.

Water is a universal, superb solvent due to the marked polarity of the water molecule and its tendency to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules.

It is the most common substance found on earth. Water covers 80% of our planet. Over 97% of the world’s water is sea water and an additional 2% is tied up in polar ice caps.  This means that all the rivers, streams, lakes and reservoirs in the world constitute only one percent of the earth’s water.  Without it life could not exist

The human body is 69% water, the human brain 85% water, human bones 25% water, human blood 83% water.  It’s our body’s most vital need together with Oxygen.  The human body can only survive 3 days without water.  The average person loses 2.5 liters of water every day from perspiration, respiration, urination and defecation.  The human body craves both water and oxygen, however, as population increases and industry grows, our supply of fresh pure, and healthy water per person rapidly diminishes.

The human population explosion and growth of industry has now caused serious world-wide water pollution.  At the present time, most of the rivers and lakes of the world are already polluted or at least threatened with human waste products.  The water used by agriculture and industry is returned to streams, lakes and the ocean often with various pollutants present.  These pollutants may contain metallic salts of mercury, arsenic, copper and lead, as well as nutrients such as phosphates and nitrates.  Organic pesticides such as DDT are also discharged into our water systems.  Did you know that to produce one ton of steel for a small automobile requires 100 000 gallons of water or that to produce ½ a ton of gasoline (about 130 gallons) requires 1 million gallons of water?

It is therefore understandable when Dr Viktor Schauberger predicts that “one day a good bottle of water would be more expensive than a bottle of good wine”.

The single hydrogen electron and the 8 electrons of oxygen are the key to the chemistry of life because this is where the hydrogen and oxygen atoms combine to form a water molecule or split to form ions.

Hydrogen tends to ionize (gain or lose an electron) by losing its single electron to form single H+ ions which are simply isolated protons since the hydrogen atom contains no neutrons.  A hydrogen bond occurs when the electron of a single hydrogen atom is shared with another electronegative atom such as oxygen that lacks an electron.

Polarity of water molecules

In a water molecule, two hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded to the oxygen atom. But because the oxygen atom is larger than the hydrogenous, its attraction for the hydrogen's electrons is correspondingly greater so the electrons are drawn closer into the shell of the larger oxygen atom and away from the hydrogen shells. This means that although the water molecule as a whole is stable, the greater mass of the oxygen nucleus tends to draw in all the electrons in the molecule including the shared hydrogen electrons giving the oxygen portion of the molecule a slight electronegative charge.

A hydrogen atom, while remaining covalently bonded to the oxygen of its own molecule, can form a weak bond with the oxygen of another molecule. Similarly, the oxygen end of a molecule can form a weak attachment with the hydrogen ends of other molecules. Because water molecules have this polarity, water is a continuous chemical entity.

A hydrogen atom, while remaining covalently bonded to the oxygen of its own molecule, can form a weak bond with the oxygen of another molecule. Similarly, the oxygen end of a molecule can form a weak attachment with the hydrogen ends of other molecules. Because water molecules have this polarity, water is a continuous chemical entity.

These weak bonds play a crucial role in stabilizing the shape of many of the large molecules found in living matter. Because these bonds are weak, they are readily broken and re-formed during normal physiological reactions. The disassembly and re-arrangement of such weak bonds is in essence the chemistry of life.

In water the ionic bonds of the sodium chloride molecule are broken easily because of the competitive action of the numerous water molecules.

As we can see from this simple example, even the delicate configuration of individual water molecules enables them to break relatively stronger bonds by converging on them. This is why we call water the universal solvent. It is a natural solution that breaks the bonds of larger, more complex molecules. This is the chemistry of life on earth, in water and on land.

• It lubricates our joints and organs, assists our muscles, heart, tissue, every cell and organ of the body needs water to function optimally.

• It is our greatest cleanser and detoxifier.

• It prevents premature aging of the skin and internal tissue.

• Water regulates our optimal weight by helping properly digest our food we eat and eliminate waste.  Drinking adequate amount of water naturally suppresses the appetite as well as helping to decrease fat deposits by metabolizing them.

• It assists in the absorption of nutrients and chemical reactions

• Water is essential for proper circulation in the body

• Water regulates the body’s cooling system

• Dehydration impairs kidney function

•  High blood pressure, hypertension, is a result of an adaptive process to a gross body water deficiency.

• Not drinking enough water will actually cause the body to retain water!

• Lack of water leaves us in a weakened state, vulnerable to attack from disease, weakens the body’s immune system and leads to chemical, nutritional and pH imbalances that can cause a host of diseases.

The quality of the water we drink is also of paramount importance.

It has been said that “Pure water may become the medicine of the future.  ‘Oxygen enriched and fee of radioactive and chemical compounds’ may read on the label of our bottled water in the next millenium.” – Dr F Batmajhelidj

We are now in the midst of a water boom. Consumers are buying various kinds of bottled and canned water even though water is one of our most abundant vital resources. Research data reveals that mineral waters have an ORP of +200 mV, slightly lower than the +400 mV measured for ordinary tap water. We can say that at least mineral water is marginally better than tap water from the viewpoint of ORP. Compared to any processed water for sale, however, ionized water with its reduction potential of -250 to -300 mV is beyond comparison due to its ability to scavenge active oxygen radicals. Freshly squeezed organic  Orange Juice has a –250 ORP. (explanation of ORP follows later)

Bottled, Spring, Ground and Mineral Water – there are thousands  of sources and manufacturers of these waters globally all with varying standards.  Some are good and some not so good.  Many have been found to be bacterially and otherwise contaminated. Spring water contains unwanted inorganic minerals and their purity is debatable if you consider the pollution of the soil. Many spring waters do contain chloroforms (responsible for pathogens which are disease causing).

Purified Water (Distilled or Reverse Osmosis) – Do not drink this water. This water is completely stripped of its memory and all trace elements.  This is water that has had all the minerals removed from it using various processes so it is literally H₂O.  Since it is so pure it absorbs carbon dioxide out of the air which makes it acidic and even more aggressive at dissolving substances it comes into contact with.  It usually has little or no dissolved oxygen in it and is therefore referred to as “dead” water.  It leaches minerals from your body and makes you more acidic. It also absorbs the electrolytes within the body (sodium, potassium, chloride) and trace minerals like magnesium, deficiencies can cause heart beat irregularities and high blood pressure.  “Purified” water is aggressive, dissolves many metals and robs the body of vital nutrients.  The most toxic commercial beverages that people consumer (i.e. cola beverages) are made from purified water.  The body is not comfortable in an acidic state and buffers this by removal of minerals from the skeleton and bicarbonate in the blood causing mineral deficiencies.

Softened Water (sodium) – never drink water that has been softened with salt.  Softening takes out the good minerals and replaces it with twice as much salt.  It will set your metabolism out of balance and send your blood pressure to nose bleed heights.

Municipal Water (Tap Water) – Most tap water is fit to drink except for the fact that tap water today contains bacteria, viruses, organic/inorganic minerals – making the water hard and on top of that added chemicals (chlorine, fluoride, aluminum sulfate, etc) that contribute to a multitude of diseases and illness.  The chlorine in water is known to cause bladder, rectal and pancreatic cancer.  Chlorine has been proven to be a long-term carcinogen.  It is also an oxidant which raises the Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) of anything it comes into contact with, including your body if you drink it.  Since chlorine is an oxidant, is oxidizes or ages your body.  It also disrupts digestion because it destroys lactobacillus, the friendly bacteria, in our stomachs which retards the intake of nutrients into the body.

City supplied tap water contains an ample supply of acid minerals and alkaline minerals.  They use acids to kill living organisms in the water supply.  Then the water is too acidic to be sent out through the pipes as this will leach out lead from soldered pipes which is poisonous, so silver activated carbonate of calcium is added to make it alkaline and remove poisonous metal and odour.  In general City/tap water contains more alkaline minerals than ground/spring water.

Common alkaline minerals are: calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium.

Common acid minerals:  chlorine, sulfur, phosphorous, bromine, silicon and fluorine

Water Run Through a Filter

Most water filters are a defensive device in that they remove some of the impurities in the water prior to drinking.  They do not enhance the water and often the water becomes acid rather than alkaline after filtration.  Knowing exactly when to change the filter is also often problematic.

Ionized Water – THE FOUNTAINHEAD WATERWELL^©

(Alkaline Water, Cluster Water, Micro Cluster Water, Reduced Water)

Ionized water is by far one the most superior drinking waters available as it removes impurities, has as an alkaline pH, is super oxygenated,  has a negative oxidation reduction potential and is supplied in smaller water molecule clusters.  It is easy to achieve, consistent results, researched and has real health benefits.  It tastes smooth and soft due to its high concentration of negative ions (typical of pure mountain springs) and is refreshing.

• POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT

Ionized water has two antioxidant qualities or components to it.  Ionize means to gain or lose an electron.  In the case of ionized water, an electron is grabbed from one oxygen molecule and donated to another making that oxygen molecule become an antioxidant.  Antioxidants have this property of possessing an extra electron such as Vitamins A, C, and E.  It is miraculous that normal tap water can be turned into an antioxidant.  Not only that, but it is an efficient antioxidant because it is a liquid with small water molecule clusters and thus is more easily absorbed into the body.

Oxidation Reduction Reactions

Basically, reduction means the addition of an electron (e-), and its converse, oxidation means the removal of an electron. The addition of an electron, stores energy in the reduced compound. The removal of an electron, oxidation, liberates energy from the oxidized compound. Whenever one substance is reduced, another is oxidized.

To clarify these terms, consider any two molecules, A and B, for example.

• B grabs an electron from molecule A.

• Molecule A has been oxidized because it has lost an electron.

• The net charge of B has been reduced because it has gained a negative electron (e-).

In biological systems, removal or addition of an electron constitutes the most frequent mechanism of oxidation-reduction reactions (eg cut apple turning brown (oxidizing)is losing eletrons). These oxidation-reduction reactions are frequently called redox reactions.

Virtually all liquids have an ORP Oxidation Reduction Potential, which is the millivoltage is possesses.  Normal tap water has an 300 to 400 ORP, meaning that the potential for reducing oxidation is nonexistent.  Only a negative ORP can reduce or negate oxidation.  Alkaline Ionized Water has a –350 to –250 ORP, depending in part on the amount of minerals in the source water and which level the unit is on.  This means it has a very high potential for reducing oxidation.  Fresh squeezed orange juice has a –250 ORP, as do most other freshly squeezed juices and vegetables.  However if they have been pasteurized or otherwise processed, the antioxidant and negative ORP properties have been removed.  They also have a heavier molecular weight than water.

Oxidation means to decay or age (as a metal rusts).  As things oxidize, the ORP rises.  A higher ORP also retards bacterial growth and if high enough will kill bacteria.  In the human body oxidation is caused by free radical damage.  Free radicals are active oxygen molecules that have lost an electron and become unstable.  They are caused by pollution, stress and poor diet. 

Free radicals that exist in our body grab an electron from one of our cells to become stable and in the process damage the DNA cell so that when it divides, the new cell carries the mutant DNA which in turn passes along to the next cell when it divides.  This is the cause of many diseases and it is also part of what makes us age.  As we age our body’s ORP becomes higher because we are oxidizing.  The Fountainhead Waterwell^© -Alkaline, Ionized water has a negative ORP therefore it offsets the higher ORP of our body as we are aging.  Thus we counteract the aging process by putting negatively charged water which somewhat dampens the ever-rising ORP of our oxidizing body.  We should drink 5 glasses minimum of ionized water per day to expect significant slowing and reversal of the aging process.

Examining a fresh glass of strong ionized water right out of the tap, you will see a cloud of tiny bubbles in the water.  Those are hydroxyl ions, which are oxygen molecules that have an extra electron.  That is the antioxidant, which is the centerpiece of ionized water, its most valuable component.  Antioxidants have anti-aging and anti-disease properties because they scavenge for free radicals.  Ionized water is a liquid antioxidant, therefore it is extremely effective and more easily absorbed into the body than any other antioxidants.

Normal tap water, with a pH of 7 is approximately neutral on the pH scale of 0 to 14. When measured with an ORP (oxidation potential) meter its redox potential is approximately +400 to +500 mV. Because it has a positive redox potential, it is apt to acquire electrons and oxidize other molecules. Reduced ionized water, on the other hand, has a negative redox potential of approximately -250 to -350 mV. This means it has a large mass of electrons ready to donate to electron-thieving active oxygen.

Redox potential is the crucial factor

Traditionally we have judged the properties of water from the standpoint of pH, in other words whether water is acidic or alkaline. According to Dr. Yoshiaki Matsuo Ph.D., the inventor of the ionzer unit, "In my opinion, redox potential is more important than pH. The importance of pH is over emphasized. For example, the average pH of blood is 7.4 and acidosis or alkalosis is defined according to deviation within the range of 7.4 +- 0.005. But nothing has been discussed about ORP, or oxidation-reduction potential."

The pH of tap water is about pH 7, or neutral. When tap water is electrolyzed into ionized water, its reduced water has a pH of about 9 and the oxidized water a pH of about 4. Even if you make alkaline water of pH 9 by adding sodium hydroxide or make acidic water of pH 3 by adding hydrogen chloride, you will find very little change in the ORP values of the two waters. On the other hand, when you divide tap water with electrolysis you can see the ORP fluctuate by as much as ⁺/_- 1,000 mV.

By electrolysis we can obtain reduced water with negative potential that is good for the body.

• Increased Oxygen

It is true that drinking ionized water gives you energy.  On the surface, it seems like an outrageous claim that drinking water can give you energy.  However we all know that providing the body with oxygen will give us energy.  Ionized water possesses an abundance of oxygen, which is one of the reasons bacteria does not live in alkaline, ionized water much more than 40 seconds.  The reason is because the negative ORP is a hostile environment to bacteria.

Energy that is derived from oxygen is the best energy a person can have because it has not been derived from an artificial source such as caffeine, sugar or other stimulants, which are more like rushes that invariably end in some kind of crash.  When we eat too much of sugar for instance, our body produces insulin to counteract the sudden influx of excess sugar and we experience a sugar/insulin crash.  A few too many of those and you end up a diabetic, especially if it runs in the family.

However, with oxygen it’s an entirely different story.  You never get a rush and you never get a crash.  Energy derived from oxygen is natural.  Oxygen makes you alert and invigorated.  It picks you up slowly and lets you down slowly as it is used up.  People who drink ionized water on a regular basis don’t notice how much energy is does give them until the fourth or fifth day after they stop drinking it.

For someone with cancer, the high oxygen level found in ionized water is particularly helpful since oxygen destroys cancer cells which is why cancer patients are often tired all the time. By drinking ionized water on a regular basis the amount of oxygen in the blood will increase.  This is helpful in fighting many diseases since oxygen is a poison to bacteria and the more we can get into our blood stream the better.

Active/Unstable Oxygen:

Oxygen is essential to survival. It is relatively stable in the air, but when too much is absorbed into the body it can become active and unstable and has a tendency to attach itself to any biological molecule, including molecules of healthy cells. The chemical activity of these free radicals is due to one or more pairs of unpaired electrons.

About 2% of the oxygen we normally breathe become active oxygen, and this amount increases to approximately 20% with aerobic exercise.

Active Oxygen in the body

Problems arise, however, when too many of these free radicals are turned loose in the body where they can also damage normal tissue.

Putrefaction sets in when microbes in the air invade the proteins, peptides, and amino acids of eggs, fish and meat. The result is an array of unpleasant substances such as:

•  Hydrogen sulfide & Ammonia (tissue toxins)

• Histamines (causes allergic disorders e.g  asthma, atopic dematitis, hives)

• Indoles & Phenols (carcinogenic)

• Scatoles

These substances are also produced naturally in the digestive tract when we digest food, resulting in the unpleasant odour evidenced in faeces. Microbes in the air cause putrefaction of spoiled food; this natural process is duplicated in the digestive tract by intestinal microbes. All these waste products of digestion are pathogenic; that is, they can cause disease in the body.

Hydrogen sulfide and ammonia are tissue toxins that can damage the liver. Histamines contribute to allergic disorders such as atopic dermatitis, urticaria (hives) and asthma. Indoles and phenols are considered carcinogenic.

Because waste products such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, histamines, phenols and indoles are toxic, the body's defense mechanisms try to eliminate them by releasing neutrophils (a type of leukocyte, or white corpuscle). These neutrophils produce active oxygen, oddball oxygen molecules that are capable of scavenging disintegrating tissues by gathering electrons from the molecules of toxic cells.

Problems arise, however, when too many of these active oxygen molecules, or free radicals, are produced in the body. They are extremely reactive and can also attach themselves to normal, healthy cells and damage them genetically. These active oxygen radicals steal electrons from normal, healthy biological molecules. This electron theft by active oxygen oxidizes tissue and can cause disease.

Effects of Oxidation on Vital Organs

Because active oxygen can damage normal tissue, it is essential to scavenge this active oxygen from the body before it can cause disintegration of healthy tissue. If we can find an effective method to block the oxidation of healthy tissue by active oxygen, then we can attempt to prevent disease.

Antioxidants block dangerous oxidation

One way to protect healthy tissue from the ravages of oxidation caused by active oxygen is to provide free electrons to active oxygen radicals, thus neutralizing their high oxidation potential and preventing them from reacting with healthy tissue.

Much of the damage caused by carcinogenic substances in food may come about because of an oxidation reaction in the cell. In this process, an oddball oxygen molecule may damage the cell's genetic code. Some researchers believe that substances that prevent oxidation -- called ANTIOXIDANTS -- can block the damage. This leads naturally to the theory that the intake of natural antioxidants could be an important aspect of the body's defense against cancer. Substances that some believe inhibit cancer include vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, selenium, and gluthione (an amino acid). These substances are reducing agents. They supply electrons to free radicals and block the interaction of the free radical with normal tissue. 

How we can avoid illness

As we mentioned earlier, the presence of toxic waste products such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, histamines, indoles, phenols and scatoles impart an offensive odor to human faeces. In the medical profession, it is well known that patients suffering from hepatitis and cirrhosis pass particularly odoriferous stools.

Excessively offensive stools caused by the presence of toxins are indicators of certain diseases, and the body responds to the presence of these toxins by producing neutrophil leukocytes to release active oxygen in an attempt to neutralize the damage to organs that can be caused by such waste products. But when an excess amount of such active oxygen is produced, it can damage healthy cells as well as neutralize toxins.

This leads us to the conclusion that we can minimize the harmful effect of these active oxygen radicals by reducing them with an ample supply of electrons.

IONIZED WATER … THE NATURAL SOLUTION

There is no substitute for a healthy balanced diet, especially rich in antioxidant materials such as vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and other foods that are good for us. However, these substances are not the best source of free electrons that can block the oxidation of healthy tissue by active oxygen.

Water treated by electrolysis to increase its reduction potential is the best solution to the problem of providing a safe source of free electrons to block the oxidation of normal tissue by free oxygen radicals. We believe that reduced water, water with an excess of free electrons to donate to active oxygen, is the best solution because:

• The reduction potential of water can be dramatically increased over other antioxidants in food or vitamin supplements.

• The molecule weight of reduced water is low, making it fast acting and able to reach all tissues of the body in a very short time

Ionized Water Donates Electrons

When taken internally, the reduced ionized water with its redox potential of -250 to -350 mV readily donates its electrons to oddball oxygen radicals and blocks the interaction of the active oxygen with normal molecules.

A biological molecule (BM) remains intact and undamaged.

Undamaged biological molecules are less susceptible to infection and disease. The ionized water gives up an extra electron and reduces the active oxygen (AO), thus rendering it harmless. The AO is reduced without damaging surrounding biological molecules. Substances, which have the ability to counteract active oxygen by supplying electrons, are called scavengers. Reduced water, therefore, can be called scavenging water.

When taken internally, the effects of reduced water are immediate. Ionized water inhibits excessive fermentation in the digestive tract by reducing indirectly metabolites such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, histamines, indoles, phenols and scatoles, resulting in a cleaner stool within days after reduced water is taken on a regular basis. In 1965 the Ministry of Welfare of Japan announced that reduced water obtained from electrolysis can prevent abnormal fermentation of intestinal microbes.  

Low molecular structure of ionized Waterwell^© water

Even advocates of the importance of vitamin C in diet staples have to admit that its potency, namely, the redox potential of this important vitamin, rapidly diminishes with age and preparation for the dining table. Carbohydrates, the main consituent of vegetables and fruit, have a molecular weight of 180 whereas water has a much lower molecular weight of 18.

Ionized water, with its low molecular weight and high reduction potential, makes it a superior scavenging agent of active oxygen. But electrolysis inside the  unit not only charges the reduced water with electrons; it also reduces the size of reduced water molecule clusters.

• BALANCES BODY pH

Because of the predominance of hydroxyl in ionized water, the water becomes alkaline, meaning it has a high pH, somewhere between 8 and 10 depending on which level the water ionizer is on.  At a pH of 10, ionized water becomes to taste salty so there is a limit as to how strong ionized water should be consumed even though it is not harmful to you at this level.  A pH of 9,5 is sufficiently high enough to satisfy the body’s needs for oxygen, alkalinity, hydroxyl ions and proper hydration.

The ease at which a pH of 10 or higher is achieved will depend on how slow the water runs through the water ionizer and how high the mineral content of the source water is.  If you tried to use purified, distilled or reverse osmosis water which has no mineral content no ionization would occur.

There are alkaline minerals and acid minerals and ionization will become stronger on the alkaline side if there are alkaline minerals present and stronger on the acid side if there are more acid minerals present.

An acid is a substance that increases the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in water. A base is a substance that decreases the concentration of hydrogen ions, in other words, increasing the concentration of hydroxide ions OH-.

The degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution is measured in terms of a value known as pH, which is the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions:

pH = 1/log[H+] = - log[H+]

What is pH?

On the pH scale, which ranges from 0 on the acidic end to 14 on the alkaline end, a solution is neutral if its pH is 7. At pH 7, water contains equal concentrations of H+ and OH- ions. Substances with a pH less than 7 are acidic because they contain a higher concentration of H+ ions. Substances with a pH higher than 7 are alkaline because they contain a higher concentration of OH- than H+. The pH scale is a log scale so a change of one pH unit means a tenfold change in the concentration of hydrogen ions.

Importance of balancing pH

Living things are extremely sensitive to pH and function best (with certain exceptions, such as certain portions of the digestive tract) when solutions are nearly neutral. Most interior living matter (excluding the cell nucleus) has a pH of about 6.8.

Blood plasma and other fluids that surround the cells in the body have a pH of 7.2 to 7.3. Numerous special mechanisms aid in stabilizing these fluids so that cells will not be subject to appreciable fluctuations in pH. Substances, which serve as mechanisms to stabilize pH, are called buffers. Buffers have the capacity to bond ions and remove them from solution whenever their concentration begins to rise. Conversely, buffers can release ions whenever their concentration begins to fall. Buffers thus help to minimize the fluctuations in pH. This is an important function because many biochemical reactions normally occurring in living organisms either release or use up ions.

The fact that the ionized water we drink is alkaline is very important because diseases thrive in an acidic environment and will not flourish and thrive an alkaline environment.

If a person has created an acidic environment in the body by years of eating or putting acid substances in the body such as soft drinks, food (meat, fish, rice,), pollution, stress, mental unrest, anger,  alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, etc then that person has opened themselves up to any and all diseases.  The more acidic the more susceptible a person becomes to disease.  Acid wastes literally attack the joints, tissue, muscles, organs and glands causing minor to major dysfunction.

One of the keys to great health is keeping our bodies alkaline by drinking plenty of ionized water

• SUPERIOR HYDRATOR & DETOXIFIER, WETTER WATER

Ionized water is sometimes called reduced water because typically water molecules group together in clusters of 10 to 13 molecules.  Ionized water molecule clusters are split in half and grouped into 5-6 water molecules, thus it is reduced in size.

Through electrolysis, reduced water not only gains an excess amount of electrons (e-), but the cluster of H₂O seem to be reduced in size from 10 – 13 molecules per cluster to 5 – 6 molecules per cluster.

The ionized water molecule has also been changed from and irregular shape to a regular hexagonal shape (such as snow flakes) that passes through our body tissue more efficiently than conventional water.  It is this smaller, regular shape that hydrates anything much more efficiently than conventional water.

The Fountainhead Waterwell^© has five levels of strength which allows one to ease into ionized water when you first start drinking it.  The detoxification effect of ionized water requires some people to start drinking it rather weak and building the strength over time.  Headaches and diarrhea are common detoxification symptoms.

The more toxins that a person has in a body, the weaker they should start drinking ionized water so the detoxification effects are kept to a minimum.  For instance most children can drink the strongest level of ionized water, however, with the elderly it is just the opposite, as they may have a lifetime of toxins accumulated in their bodies and are also on medications that need to be detoxified.  Drinking ionized water will not interfere with the function of any medications a person may be taking.

Ionized water is up to six times more hydrating than conventional water at its greatest strength.  There are some tangible effects of Ionized water regarding the small molecule cluster.  Soaking dried beans of any kind in ionized water will cause them to hydrate considerably faster and swell fatter because of its superior hydrating properties.

NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) analysis reveals that electrolysis reduces water molecule clusters to  about half their normal size.

As the graph shows, the NMR signal that measures cluster size by line width at half-amplitude shows 65 Hz for reduced water and 133 Hz for tap water, revealing that the reduced water clusters are approximately half the size of tap water clusters.

That is why Waterwell^© ionized water is more readily absorbed by the body than untreated tap water.  The ionized water quickly permeates the body and blocks the oxidation of biological molecules by donating its abundant electrons to active oxygen, enabling biological molecules to replace themselves naturally without damage caused by oxidation that can cause diseases.
