Water Ionizers – What Are They?
Water Ionizers are used to create Alkaline Water which is used for helping balance body pH. The desired method for ionization is with electrolysis whereby water passes between metal plates that are highly charged, and the strong electrical current “restructures” the water molecules creating two outputs – one output with a high concentration of OH- ions and the other output with a high concentration of H+ ions. The OH- water is alkaline and the H+ water is acidic. The acidic water can be used for external use as a “Beauty Water” to complement the skin’s natural acid mantel. The Alkaline Water is used for drinking. Depending on the Water Ionizer Machine, various degrees of pH can be made. Strong Acid Water of 2.5 pH is used for cleaning and sterilizing the kitchen and bathroom, and thereby reducing the need for harmful chemical cleaners. Strong Alkaline Water, or Kangen Water (tm Enagic), of 11.5 is used for washing pesticides from vegetables and fruits.
Water Ionizers and ORP
ORP is the Oxidative Reduction Potential which is a measurement of the antioxidant quality of the water. An important metric of ionized water from a health perspective is its ORP rating, and the greater the negative ORP value the stronger its antioxidant value. Indeed serious health seekers give careful consideration to the ORP rating of a potential water ionizer machine in their selection process. The greater the antioxidant level of the water, the greater the effect the water will have on slowing down the aging process and enabling the body to heal itself.
Ionized Water Vs. Bottled Water
Bottled Water is found in the headlines frequently for quite a few reasons. For one, the seemingly endless supply of non-biodegradable bottles accumulating in landfills. An obvious benefit of water ionization is the cost savings over the years – it is estimated that for one person, a high quality Water Ionizer costs only one third that of bottled water for the usual life of the Water Ionizer Machine. More importantly from a water quality perspective, bottled water is well-known for having exceptionally poor ORP ratings. Typically, bottled water actually has a positive ORP which has a detrimental impact to health. Compare the unfavorable positive ORP value of bottled water to the healthy negative ORP of Ionized water. For health conscious individuals who are on a budget and who give concern to the environment, Ionized Water is the reasonable choice.
Water Ionizer Machine Shopping
While the case is strong in favor of Water Ionization, it is important to note that not all water ionizers are the same. Water Ionizers vary greatly in design, capability, flow rate, results and warranty. Recommended specifications include solid platinum coated titanium electrolysis plates with at least 490 sq. in. surface area, a pH range of 2.5 to 11.5, an ORP range of 2.5 – 11.5, 5 year warranty without small print such as geographic location or source water quality, no water flow constraint required to achieve pH / ORP ratings, and at least 230 watts in order to provide enough power to perform a sufficient quantity of electrolysis with reasonable flow rate.
A quality Water Ionizer can be purchased online.

Kangen Water
Let us be clear: Enagic Kangen Water is not a cure for anything. You my be asking what does Kangen Water do? What Kangen Water does is it helps to put your body back in balance and allows your body to do what it was naturally designed to do “heal itself.” If your body is in an alkaline state disease cannot survive; disease cannot thrive in an alkaline body. Bottom line: Enagic Kangen Water “neutralize and balance a chronic over-acid state. Chronic over-acidity is the underlying cause of many disease, including pain, and inflammation” this is according to the Kangen Research Report.
The following are a few success stories my family and fiends have experienced as a result of drinking Engagic Kangen Water:
Cancer: My niece was diagnosed with cervical cancer this past spring May 2009. When she went to the doctor she was told it was in stage two and the doctor recommended chemotherapy treatment. Now for those of you who are not familiar with chemotherapy and radiation treatment and what it does: chemotherapy poisons and destroys both rapidly-growing cancer cells and healthy cells. It can also cause damage to organs. Radiation burns, scars, damages healthy cells along with cancer cells.
Needless to say, she refused the treatment. She was determined to fight these disobedient cells (essentially that is what cancer is) naturally giving her body the proper food, exercise, and water (FEW). She made this decision because she realized the body is designed to heal itself, if it is given the proper nourishment. Perhaps, a week before her first follow-up visit with her doctor, she met with her friend’s step mom. Her friend’s step mom is a Holistic Health Practitioner. She gave my niece a list of herbal supplements to take and she also gave her two gallons of Enagic Kangen ionized water to drink. Approximately, a month after her initial visit to her doctor, my niece had a follow-up visit and the cancer had progressed to stage three.
Although, the news she received from her doctor was discouraging, it did not deter my niece from using the holistic approach. Therefore, for the next four weeks my niece drank Kangan Water, exercised, ate healthy (experts recommend 80% of our diet should be fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, raw if possible), and took her herbal supplements. When she returned to the doctor for her second follow-up visit the doctor was amazed; the cancer had regressed. This resulted in the doctor clipping a small area where the cancer was and today she is “cancer free” because her body is in an alkaline state.
High Pressure: My sister empowered herself when she drastically lowered her blood pressure by drinking a few glasses of Kangen Water straight out of the machine. My sister has had high blood pressure the majority of her adult life. Her blood pressure reading would range from 170 over 80 to 170 over 80. These readings were with blood pressure medication. Well, how about we purchased an Enagic Kangen Water ionizer machine and the morning it was set up, she drank a few glasses of 9.5 pH water from the machine. She went to a funeral that afternoon later in the same day she went to her appointment with her doctor. Well, amazing to her and her doctor her blood pressure reading was 126 over 70. The only thing she could contribute such a good blood pressure reading to was the Kangen Water she drank earlier that day.
Diabetes: My sister shared Kangen Water 9.5 with a friend who has been a diabetic for several years. Her friend takes her shots in her stomach several times a day to regulate her blood sugar level; however, she expressed a desire to get off of her diabetes medication. Thus, my sister’s friend started drinking the 9.5 Kangen Water along with injecting herself with her medication. This brought her blood sugar level down immediately so my sister started giving her 8.5 pH level because she wanted a gradual decrease in her friend’s sugar level. My sister’s friend is currently drinking 8.5 pH Kangen water, monitoring her blood sugar level, and adjusting her medication. She makes adjustments to her medication according to her blood sugar level reading and how she feels. Eventually, she will be off her diabetes medication. The Kangen Research report stated, “according to peer reviewed scientific studies that have been performed in well respected universities and hospitals around the world drinking Kangen Water can normalize blood sugar and insulin.” This is in addition to a litany of other aliments drinking Kangen Water can assist the body with “healing itself.”
Skin ulcers (open sores/wounds): Skin ulcers are breaks in the layers of skin that fail to heal. They may be accompanied by inflammation. Sometimes they do not heel and become chronic. This is most common in the elderly. Diabetics are of special risk for foot ulcers.
I empowered my 79 year old former neighbor to take control of his health when I shared some Kangen Water with him. I gave him two gallons of 9.5 pH to drink and four bottles of 2.5 pH strong acidic Kangen ionized water to spray on his skin ulcer. He had this skin ulcer for about a year and was being treated by his doctor. He told me he did not know why this two to three inch deep sore developed; he said it was extremely painful, and infection ran out of it, so he had to keep it bandaged. I did not have the heart to look at it; all I wanted was to get it healed. Subsequently, I started sharing the water with him. First, I gave him 9.5 Kangen Water to drink and then about two weeks later, I gave him 2.5 strong acidic, ionized water. I asked him to spray this water on the leg sore. While drinking the water he told me he felt better, had more energy, was sleeping better, and was more regular. Then, a week after giving him the 2.5 strong acidic ionized water to spray on the leg ulcer he said, “the score was not as painful and it had stop running and he no longer keep it bandaged.” Approximately, two weeks after that he said it was healing and three weeks later when I finally mustered up enough nerve to look at the leg ulcer, it was healed. There was no a sore there, the only thing at that time I saw was a white patch of skin where his color had not returned. This was simply amazing.
Slow Down or Reverse Aging Process (Antioxidant)
According to Dr. Jhon, “the outward signs of aging are just an indicator of what is also happening on the inside of the body.” Studies have shown that “water content of the body decreases with age, producing a visible wrinkling and withering effect.”
My 72 year old mother has been drinking Kangen Water for about 5 or 6 months. She drinks approximately one gallon or more a day. She loves it and even bathes and shampoos her hair in the beauty water (pH 5.5). How about my sister was walking behind our mother recently and noticed her natural hair color is replacing her gray hair in the back of head. I knew this was possible and have heard of this happening with another person drinking the water. Recently, I went out to dinner with two friends (both Enagic Kangen Water distributors). One of my friends shared with us that she has a friend whose hair was completely gray; however, after drinking the water for about two years for health reasons her friend’s hair is now growing back to its natural color. She also pulled her hair back and showed us how the roots of her hair are reversing back to its natural color. Amazingly, I could not believe my friend’s age when she told us she was 62 years old. She does not have a wrinkle on her face, her skin is tight and clear, her hair is dark; she is slim; mind sharp and alert, and she is extremely vibrant.
Remarkably, these are not your common every day results from drinking water; however, Enagic Kangen Water is not your typical every day tap, bottled, or alkaline water. Empower yourself try Enagic Kangen Water improve your health and create your own success story.

Alkaline Water or Kangen Water
Super-H2O.com – Is A Team of Hexagonal Water or Kangen Water Advocates
A toxin can be defined as any substance that doesn’t belong in the body. It so happens that the majority toxins have a positive charge. Keep in mind that a negative charge is beneficial, and a positive charge is bad. The negative ions in alkaline ionized water attach themselves to toxins and help begin the process to do away with the toxins from the body.
Kanen Water is repeatedly called micro cluster water. Micro cluster is a reference to the thought that when water is ionized, the amount of water molecules that group together is reduced. Generally, water molecules group in quantity of 10, while ionized water groups water molecules in an order 6. This lessening in size of the cluster is able to pierce body tissues more easily.
Two properties of Kangen Water comprise the antioxidant benefits. This water has a negative charge, and has hydroxyl ions. This negative charge is associated this oxidation-cutback potential or “ORP”. A negative ORP as found in alkaline ionized water can reduce oxidation. Standard tap water is by and large not alkaline and is certainly not ionized. Tap water is found to have oxidative properties with a positive ORP. And any material you eat with a positive ORP will add to an over acid state in your body.
Note that all fresh fruits and vegetables have a negative ORP and thus are antioxidants. In all cases, when we eat antioxidant substances with a negative ORP, we are aiding the reduction of the oxidative aging process.
The negatively charged hydroxyl ions are in fact a molecule with one hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom (HO-). These ions, with the negative charge carry with them an extra electron, which can be given to free radicals. This cancels the oxidative properties of the free radicals.
Why is this important? Disease thrives in an acidic environment. An acid environment in the body is what you want to work against by a change in your diet. An unproblematic change is in the type of water you drink. The principal secret when it comes to maintaining and/or achieving health is to drink alkaline ionized water.
Ionized water is found in mountain streams. Water running through rocks will have an ionizing effect with the formation of hydroxyl ions. There is much discussion within this topic about whether you should drink whatever water you can get (because you body can take it), or understand that your body is a delicate chemistry project, and choose to select circumspectly what you drink. I’ve chosen the latter; as I want to do everything I can to preserve my health. When you hear about recent stories about people dying of cancer.
The best Kangen Water machine that I know of is the Leveluk SD501 by the Enagic Corporation. This top of the line water ionizer is the flagship for Enagic. And I have owned one for several months now. What is my personal experience, so far? People notice I’m thinner, I feel healthyer, and I’m looking great.
Kngen Water helps balance the body’s pH, which tends to be acidic because of our diet comprised of cooked foods, pasteurized or otherwise processed foods. Soft drinks are the most acid substance a person can put in their body. This acidic condition creates an ideal environment in our body for disease to thrive. For example, accumulated acid waste in the joints encourages inflammation and arthritis. Because it is very Alkaline, Ionized Water dissolves accumulated acid waste and returns the body to a balance. Keeping ourselves Alkaline is the first line of defense in fighting any disease.
Kangen Water is up to 6 times more hydrating than conventional water
Water is one of the most important element in the body, which is over 80% water. Ionized Water is fundamentally different from conventional water. This is because the size and shape of the water molecule cluster has reduced in size and change in shape to hexagonal, which allows the water cluster to pass through our tissue more easily. One of the primary causes of disease is chronic cellular dehydration, a condition which leaves the body’s cells in a perpetual state of weakness and defense. This is one of the major causes of chronic disease is providing the body with insufficient water. We simply do not drink enough water (at least half our weight in ounces) to keep ourselves properly hydrated and therefore healthy.
Water from the Kangen Water Ionizer is detoxifying and a superior hydrator
This is also because of the reduced size and shape of the water molecule clusters. Once reduced, these water clusters pass through the body’s tissue much easier and push out toxins and acid waste quite effectively. Water Ionizers have several levels of strength so people who are toxic can begin by drinking mild Ionized Water, slowly drinking it stronger as they acclimate to it.
Minerals that are Ionized are more bio-available
This means that the body can absorb them much more efficiently and make use of them where they are needed throughout the body. Water soluble trace minerals of any kind can be added to your water source through the filter on the Technos Water Ionizer. Minerals are some of the most important nutrients the body needs, yet mineral deficiency is common. Ionized Water is an efficient and effective way for the body to get its minerals.
Ionized Water improves the taste of food
Ionized Water hydrates food better, helps bring out its flavor, lowers acid levels of any food including coffee, tea and juice. It ionizes the minerals in the food which helps make them bio-available.
Acidic Water can be used only externally
This is water that has a pH of 5.8 – 6.9. This is often formed either by distilled water coming in contact with air, or by special ionizing machines to make water acidic. Acidic water is good for external use and industrial purposes, but not for long-term human consumption. Acidic water is full of hydrogen ions. It is good for plant growth, crops, and livestock in that it will help keep a much lower mortality rate and cleaner environment, keeping in mind the acidic water retards bacteria and bacterial growth. Ionized Acid Water is great for the skin. Applying Ionized Acid Water regularly works like an astringent to tighten the skin and remove wrinkles, however, there is NO chemical residue. It soothes and helps keep the skin clear of acne and other blemishes.
At its strongest level, Ionized Acid Water kills most bacteria on contact. It improves hair and skin conditions of any kind, including fungus, cuts, scraps, even serious wounds. It takes the itch out of mosquito bites, the sting out of other insect bites.
Ionized Acid Water has been used successfully in treating diabetic ulcers. This is a condition that develops in diabetics where a fester opens in the skin, usually in the legs or feet, which can result in amputation if not promptly treated. These ulcers can become very serious. However, soaking the ulcer in Ionized Acid Water may have tremendous healing effects.
