1. What kind of water should I drink?

• 80% of our body consists of water; it is the most valuable thing in our system.
• Ionized water is the best choice for optimizing your health.
• Free radicals, which are one of the biggest causes of diseases and, are generated in our body and not easily removed. Ionized water protects our body from various diseases and prevents aging by eliminating free radicals and enhancing the natural healing power of the human body.
• People consuming carbonated beverages and fast food are exposed to a higher risk of being acidic. This eating habits the accumulation of free radicals in the human body. Cancer patients are known to be several times more acidic than healthy people. Alkaline ion water can help you regain health and vitality by neutralizing the acid in our body and balancing pH levels.
• The basis of good health starts with good water.
• Alkaline ion water gets rid of toxins from our body. Our water ionizer is very effectively designed to choose the pH value according to each individual’s health condition.

2. How is Alkaline Ion Water Produced?

• Water contains dozens of elements, such as Ca, Mg, Na, K, Cl, S, P, etc., in a combined complex form
• When water is being ionized, minerals in the water are divided into two groups
• One is alkaline ion and the other one is acidic ion
• Alkaline ion (Ca++, Mg+, K+) clusters together around the negative electrodes and acidic ion (Cl-, S-, P-) around the positive electrodes respectively.
• Alkaline ion water contains alkaline mineral ions suitable for drinking while acidic ion water contains acidic mineral ions appropriate for hair and skin care.
• In addition, water clusters of alkaline ion water become smaller while water is being electrolyzed so that various useful minerals in the water can be absorbed to our body easily and quickly.

3. Why is ionized water good for me?
First how do we find out whether a substance/solution is alkaline or acidic? We find out whether a substance is alkaline or acidic by measuring its pH. PH is a measure of a solutions hydrogen ion concentration. The higher the pH the higher the concentrations of hydrogen ions present. A high pH solution is also oxygen rich. Moreover, a high pH solution/substance is considered more alkaline than one with lower pH level (oxygen depleted). A neutral pH level is 7 on the pH scale (scale is from (0 to 14), anything below 7 is said to be acidic, anything above alkaline.

4. What does pH have to do with my health?
Well, for one thing, the ideal pH level for blood is around 7.35 (slightly alkaline) and your body works constantly to maintain this level. Changing your blood pH level dramatically towards the acidic end of the scale upsets the bio-electro-chemistry of your body. Without going into the complicated science of it all, here’s what happens when your blood becomes too acidic: (low pH)

Almost immediately, your red blood cells start to clump and become less able to transport oxygen and nutrients to your body’s tissues. In addition, many red blood cells die prematurely and release more acid into your body. The end result is that your energy levels drop and your body becomes more predisposed to certain illnesses.

5. What causes my body to become acidic?
Primarily the acid in our systems is there because of the food we consume. Substances like coffee and alcohol and red meats create acid in our systems. Interestingly enough, psychological and physiological stress also causes acid to be formed in our bodies. Take exercising for example. Muscles strained to exhaustion excrete large amounts of lactic acid. And anybody who has run a long way and “cramped up” knows intimately the effect of too much acid in their body.

So to remain healthy you must maintain the optimum pH level in your body. And you can do this by making sure you have lots of green vegetables in your diet (e.g. spinach), reducing your acidic food intake and by drinking ionized or pH controlled water.

Note: Most people are too acidic. Healing of chronic illness can only take place when the bodies pH is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH. If you have a health problem, most likely you are acidic. Cancer needs an acidic and low oxygen environment to survive. People with cancer are up to 1000 times more acidic.

6. What is ETS?
Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) is generated by the combustion process called smoking. ETS is made up of about 4,000 different chemicals and consists of solid, liquid and gaseous contaminants.

ETS consists of a visible component, made up of millions of tiny particles, which can be seen as smoke. Most ETS particles are smaller in size than bacteria, so highly effective particulate filters are a necessity. ETS particles consist of a complex variety of chemicals including nicotine, nonvolatile hydrocarbons, phenols, acids, heavy metals and glycerol.

Apart from the particles that make up smoke, ETS contains a complex mix of gaseous components. Made up of inorganic gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen cyanide and nitrogen oxides, ETS also contains a large number of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds such as benzene, ethane, propane, toluene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein and acetone. A number of studies have demonstrated that the gaseous components of ETS account for most of the odor and irritation caused by ETS.

7. What is MCS?
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is marked by multiple symptoms in multiple organ systems (usually the neurological, immune, respiratory, skin and/or musculoskeletal) that recur chronically in response to multiple chemical exposures.

MCS usually starts with either an acute or chronic toxic exposure, after which this initial sensitivity broadens to include many other chemicals and common irritants (pesticides, perfumes and other scented products, fuels, food additives, carpets, building materials, etc.). In non-industrial workplaces, a number of common products and processes are often identified as contributing to the onset of MCS:

• Off gassing of new carpets
• Gas stoves
• Cleaning supplies
• House paints
• Pesticides and wood preservatives
• Vehicle exhaust fumes
• New building materials and furnishings
• Toxic chemicals used in art, photography, printing, etc.
• Formaldehyde in new clothes, books, and other products
• Carbonless paper, inks, copying machines, and laser printer toner
• Second-hand tobacco smoke

8. What is pH?
The pH (or potential hydrogen) level is a measure of acidity or alkalinity on a scale of zero to fourteen, with zero being most acid, fourteen being most alkaline and seven being mid-range. A balanced pH will help prevent illness, so it is very important for your level not to be too acidic or too alkaline.
