This water continues to amaze me...beyond the unsurpassable health benefits, there are so many other uses of this water. I felt compelled tonight to share with all of you the other uses that can be derived from the filtration machine that hooks right up to your kitchen sink. I have been able to STOP using all of my cleaners (Windex, Clorox, granite cleaner, etc.) and replace it with either Strong alkaline or Strong Acidic water. The anti-bacterial effect the strong acid water is used in Japan's hospitals to kill everything from staph to e coli. I have started using the weak acidic ("beauty water") as a toner after washing my face and when I wake up in the morning and my skin has taken on an all new impressive moisture factor as well as healthy glow. The strong alkaline clearly cleans my vegetables and fruits WAY better than tap water. I have soaked tomatoes, grapes and apples and saved the run-off water in a clear cup and have been shocked at the yellow tint that remains. This doesn't happen when I immerse in tap water. It penetrates the waxy build up on fruits and vegetables that i guess we were just eating before! Here is a more comprehensive list of the many uses of the Kangen Water machine.

Allergies...A Report

So, my family and I have been blown away at how simply changing the water we drink has impacted our lives. I haven't posted in a while because i have been super busy with, well 3 kids 4 and under and I have been waiting for seasonal allergies to kick in. Well, as of March 28th 2011, there are NO signs of allergies!! Can I get an AMEN? By this time last year we all had to start taking Zyrtec, Claritin or Benadryl to stave off all the random symptoms of seasonal allergies. So, this in my book, is a MAJOR deal. I mean, not only have our bodies been able to function more efficiently, keep inflammatory responses at bay, kept us out of major misery of headaches, sneezing, watery eyes, coughing and itchy ears but we also haven't had to pollute our bodies with medicine. Now, I continue to be aware that all of these testimonies seem to good to be true to those of you who are reading this, but let me tell you, I would NOT be willing to stake my reputation on untruths. I am telling as many people as I can about this, because nobody knows how desperately our bodies need to be in better balance and nobody understands how simply changing the water you drink can help you achieve this. I sure didn't, but now I want to tell the world. Also, nobody knows how bottled water is just as bad, if not worse for you than tap water. We are led to believe through well execute marketing and hype that the bottled water we can buy is better for you. It is not. Not evenSmart Water, Figi, Dasani, Aquafina, Perrier, Vitamin Water, etc. Anyway, the purpose of this post was to report our fantastic news of NO ALLERGIES!! If tomorrow we wake with runny
noses and headaches, I will stand corrected and post. For now, I will stand by my testimony! If you want to know more. Watch this demo...it is a little lengthy, but well worth the time.

Also, if you would like to try this water and you live locally, let me know and I will be glad to let you come fill up some containers for a few weeks, so you can experience the benefits. If you are reading this and you are not local and your curiosity is peeked, let me know and I will help you find some one in your area.

Allergy, Alkalinity and Acidity 
According to Dr. Susan Lark of The Lark Letter, "allergies are an inflammatory reaction triggered by over-acidity."  If you can restore your body's alkalinity, the allergic reaction often vanishes. 

Kangen Water neutralizes allergic reactions expressed as respiratory problems, skin conditions, and digestive disorders.  The pH of the body becomes more acidic during an allergic reaction, and Kangen Water alkalizes the digestive system, making you feel better.  Doctors have traditionally recommended that patients take alkalizing remedies, like bicarbonate of soda, to stop allergic reactions, but unlike these remedies, Kangen Water tastes fresh and pure with no chalky aftertaste.  Kangen Water is a powerful antacid, but unlike brand-name antacids, Kangen Water contains no dyes or sweeteners, and is 100 percent pure, refreshing, hydrating water.

Athletes Who Drink Kangen Water

Kangen Water has changed the possibilities for numerous athletes. Marathoners are running better times than when they were 20. Hockey players are coming off the ice with no body aches. Gymnasts are more flexible. Even weekend warriors are getting better muscle definition with less strain.

There are numerous effects that Kangen Water can provide for muscular movement, performance and flexibility. Every breath you take, every time a muscle contracts, there are metabolic acids that are produced, such as lactic and pyruvic acid. The presence of these acids creates a burning sensation in the muscle, muscle fatigue and muscle weakness. This prevents further exertion of the muscle until recovery takes place.

The more water that you have available in the tissues, the easier it is for these acids to be removed from the muscle tissue. This can hasten recovery time and lessen micro scar tissue and weakness from the metabolic acids. When this water is Kangen Water, then the higher alkalinity will reduce acidic residue even further and faster, with less possibility of injury. Athletes and trainers know that even small changes in pH can really affect performance, because muscles do their best work in a very narrow pH range. This is why when metabolites lower pH muscle function is reduced and the production of ATP energy is also reduced. So the more acidity that is present, the less muscles can contract. Even the electrical stimulus necessary for peak performance drops significantly.

The important thing to know is that just because an athlete is fit, doesn't mean he's healthy. In fact, many athletes suffer from chronic injury, inflammatory disorders, even early cancer. The high level of metabolic acids chronically present in muscle tissue could be a strong factor. Combining Kangen alkaline water with an alkaline-dense diet is the answer. By increasing alkalinity and reducing acidic byproducts, the body's buffering systems can work more efficiently and effectively. Getting away from the high-protein, high carb, energy bar, sports drinks pattern and turning to more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts can be more than food, they can be therapy.

The super hydration that is the hallmark of restructured Kangen Water makes performance amazing. Electrical signaling is lightening fast, more oxygen gets to the cell increasing VO₂ max and acidic waste that is often stored in fat cells is easily removed. And this type of hydration is unique because it reaches every cell. Hydration drinks used by athletes have high levels of acidity, which rob the body of alkalinizing minerals and steal vital calcium from bones, cartilage and tissues. The restructuring of the water also means it is absorbed into tissues faster than any other type of water. And all the minerals are already present in the water and in a form that every cell has access to.

Wade Lightheart came back after several years of retirement from body-building to win the Canadian Natural Bodybuilding Championship. He has written a book about his experience with Kangen Water and has said that within days of drinking the water, he lost a significant amount of body fat and was able to train more than double his peak volume levels with no pain, no fatigue and no inflammation.

This story has been repeated by people across the U.S. and around the world. Kangen Water has become the best training tool available.

Allergies...Seems like Everyone Suffers

These days I often feel like everyone I talk to is suffering from some kind of allergy. I will be honest, until I moved back to the upstate of SC four years ago, I really never knew what the fuss was all about. Well, now I know. After about a year of being away from the coastal area, I began suffering from seasonal allergies. My eyes would water and itch, my sinuses would become inflamed and even the inner workings of my ears would be itchy. What in the world?? Well, I am going to be the guinea pig with the claims of the Ionized Water and helping with allergies. I have been drinking Kangen water for almost 4 months now and spring is on it's way, so I will keep you all up to date on how my allergies behave. I am SO hoping that I will be rid of these nasty allergies. Wouldn't that be amazing?? I mean, no Claritin, Zyrtec, etc. Wow, that would be a great testimonial, but for now, just stay tuned.

Osteoarthritis and Alkaline Water

Unintentional dehydration is primarily due to our misguided belief that we think we are properly hydrated because we drink. soda, coffee, tea and alcohol and 6 glasses of water a day. In fact we lose more water and salt than we drink because of the dehydrating effect of coffee, tea, soda and alcohol. In unintentional dehydration;
1. Water is lacking to remove acidic wastes in the spinal area. The alkalinity, 7.4 pH in the spinal joints and surrounding structures including the muscle turns to low pH acidic environment. The acidity is sensed by the pain receptors and registered in the brain as pain.
This is the cry of the body that the area is dehydrated. This is the immediate reason why drinking 2 glasses of  alkaline water give instant pain relief within minutes of drinking water. Water is the best analgesic and anti-inflammatory because we are replacing the water that is lacking which cause the sensation of pain.
2. The spinal disc which is a gel-like doughnut (without a hole) in between the spinal bones is the shock absorber of the spine. It is made up of mostly water. If there is dehydration, the doughnut-like disc shrinks and loses its bounce and can slip out of position that may impinge into the spinal chord and peripheral nerves causing severe pain of the back which is called a “slipped disc”. The slipped disc may also impinge a peripheral nerve causing severe pain like in sciatic pains. Maintaining proper hydration will prevent shrinkage of the discs.
3. The discs and the spinal bones are lubricated so it will not rub directly against each other. The lubricant is made up mostly of water. Dehydration dries up the lubricant causing deterioration of the discs and the bones leading to osteoarthritis or rheumathoid arthritis, tendonitis. We take care of changing the oil of our cars better than changing our water.
Drinking 1/2 to 1 OZ of the correct! water will prevent dehydration and acidity of the spine and surrounding areas therefore preventing;

Slipped discs
Muscle pain
Osteoarthritis
Rheumathoid arthritis
Fibromyalgia,
Peripheral nerve pains such as sciatica
Tendonitis, bursitis and the like
Avoiding dehydrating drinks like soda, coffee, tea and alcohol will also greatly help.
