The Ionized College Student

As of this week I’ll have two sons in college. My oldest, a business major at the University of South Alabama and my middle son who starts at the University of Southern Mississippi this week.

While the two are as different as night and day, one thing they have in common – they both have water ionizers in their apartments. I drove up to Hattiesburg last weekend to help Josh unpack boxes and set up his new place. When he saw me bringing the water ionizer in from the car his eyes lit up, “Thanks Mom – I really appreciate that…” Read More…

ORP – What You Need to Know

If you’ve been looking around at water ionizers then you’ve probably run into the “ORP hype.” Yes, ORP is an important factor and one of the biggest benefits of having a water ionizer, but don’t be swayed by the hype.

Here’s what you need to know…. Read More…

Water Ionizers Create Artificially Alkaline Water

Someone recently pointed out an article that claimed that water ionizers create “artificially alkaline” water. The claim is that the alkalinity of the water is artificially raised through the electrolysis/ionization process – that the pH is “artificial” because of a gap between the pH of alkaline ionized water and the actual presence of alkaline minerals in the water.

This is yet another false rumor in a long list of misinformation out there about water ionizers and the alkaline water industry. Here’s a rundown of the “artificial” claims and the facts about alkaline water created by water ionizers.

How Alkaline Water Works in the Body

If you buy into the concept that drinking alkaline water reduces acids in your body and balances your body’s pH, then you could just as easily buy into the concept that drinking alkaline water is bad for you – or that drinking alkaline water does nothing because it’s neutralized by stomach acids.

The statement “drinking alkaline water will make you more alkaline” is an over-simplification most often made by well-intentioned yet overzealous individuals who have experienced positive results from drinking this water. Before deciding that drinking alkaline water is good or bad for you it is important to understand how alkaline water works in the body. Read More…

Kangen Water Machines can Run all day non-stop

Can a Kangen Water Machine from Enagic run all day producing alkaline water? According to many of Enagic representatives, yes it can! It’s a popular selling point used by Kangen Water independent distributors when selling against other models. “Enagic water ionizers can run all day if you want them to, without ever overheating or shutting down.”

But is it true? We went to the source, Enagic USA, to determine the actual recommended run-time for their famous Kangen Alkaline Water Machines.

Ionized Water for Nasal Allergy Relief

You’ve probably heard how drinking alkaline ionized water can boost your immune system. And how acidic ionized water can be used to treat rashes, eczema and other skin conditions.

But did you know that ionized water can help relieve nasal allergy symptoms and reduce your risk of developing a sinus infection?

Here’s how you can use ionized water to relieve nasal allergy symptoms and “itchy eyes”…..

ORP – Alkaline Water vs Alkaline Ionized Water

The ORP of alkaline water is where alkaline ionized water drinkers get the biggest benefits.

“Oxidation reduction potential” or “ORP” as it is referred to in the water ionizer industry, equals antioxidant potential.

While drinking alkaline water offers benefits over drinking regular tap or bottled water, the ORP (oxidation reduction potential) of the water is the true measure of its potential health benefits.

Not all “alkaline water” is equal when it comes to ORP.

Mercola’s Position on Ionized Water Corrected by Pollack

Dr. Mercola stated that drinking alkaline ionized water was a “fad” that could potentially harm your health in his September 11, 2010 newsletter. It was, and has remained, the source of many, many inquiries from people looking for the best option for drinking water. Without research, without contacting anyone in the water ionizer industry that I could find (and I contacted every water ionizer company I work with), Dr. Mercola made the claim that “If You Fall for This ‘Water Fad’ – You Could Do Some Major Damage.”

In a recent interview with Dr. Gerald Pollack, Dr. Mercola was set straight about the potential benefits of drinking alkaline ionized water. Read More…

Do-it-Yourself Water Ionizer Cleaning

Many water ionizer companies now offer cleaning cartridges to help remove mineral buildup inside their machines. These are convenient but can be costly. Here is an affordable “do it yourself” cleaning method that will work with any water ionizer.

For the cost of a small aquarium pump ($15 – $40) and vinegar or citric acid powder, you can keep your water ionizer clean, free of mineral scale buildup and performing at its best for years to come.

Alkaline Water Relieved High Blood Pressure

This is from one of my Tyent customers who was faced with the possibility of starting a prescription medication therapy to relieve high blood pressure.

She was fortunate to have a physician who was open to letter her try to correct her blood pressure naturally rather than insisting that she immediately begin treating it with prescription medication.
