^{Koufman JA1,　Johnston N.}

The following is from a friend’s web site who has gladly allowed us to use his research. He has been affiliated with electrolyzed water for well over thirty years and is an expert in the field. The website is: ^{www.electro-water.com.}

Water molecules tend to stick together in ^{clusters. Studies on alkaline water have shown evidence of a phenomenon identified as "micro clustering" or very small "structured" molecules. Though studies are still in progress determining the many benefits of micro clustering, one thing we do know is the smaller the cluster the quicker the hydration.}

Alan, my friend with all the experience in alkaline water writes: "Electronically restructured water, produced through a special unit right at your own sink. This method yields alkaline drinking water and has another facet that I find particularly interesting ― it lowers the milli voltage of the water. This means that the water molecule is refigured into a lighter, simpler form that is definitely more absorbable in the body."

• HEART The heart is one of the most alkaline-dependent organs in the body. It is partly enervated by the vagus nerve which functions best in an alkaline environment. Correct heartbeat is altered by acid wastes. These wastes rob the blood of proper oxygenation and degeneration of the heart follows. An alkaline system creates an ideal heart function.
• STOMACH Digestive difficulties (belching, bloating, sensitivity at the waist, intestinal gas, regurgitation, hiccups, lack or limitation of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, colic in children) may indicate vagus nerve problems and possible hiatus hernia syndrome, which can produce acid residue throughout the system. Hiatus hernia can quickly reduce necessary hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Without proper hydrochloric acid breakdown of foods, the foods become too acidic.
• LIVER The liver has over three hundred functions, including processing acid toxins from the blood and producing numerous alkaline enzymes for the system and is your first line of defense against any poisons. All the nourishment obtained through the gastrointestinal tract enters the blood by way of the liver. The load on the liver is much heavier when acid waste products are constantly floating in the blood. If the liver becomes too congested with protein acid wastes, death is imminent.
• PANCREAS The pancreas is highly dependent on correct alkaline diet. All aspects of pancreatic function reduce excess acidity and regulate blood sugar balance. To have proper blood sugar balance, you must maintain a primarily alkaline-forming diet.
• SMALL INTESTINES The Peyer's Patches, in the upper portion of the small intestines are crucial to life. They are essential for proper assimilation of food and producing lymphocytes for the lymphatic system's wide ranging nodal network. They also produce large amounts of the enzyme "chyle", which is a major alkalizing substance. The uninterrupted flow of chyle into the system is crucial. Too much acid waste production from acid-forming foods is a great burden on the Peyer's Patches, which lessens the production of chyle.
• KIDNEYS In an adult, about 1 liter of blood per minute passes through the kidneys. By executing their primary duty, the kidneys keep the blood alkaline and extract acid. Kidneys that are over-stressed with too much acidity create kidney stones, which are composed of waste acid cells and mineral salts that have become gummed together in a waste acid substance. Therefore, by reducing acid-forming products from entering the body, the chances are better that you can avoid this painful condition.
• COLON The colon must be kept clean of accumulated acid wastes. Poisons collect on the colon walls and in cases of diarrhea or constipation will harden and reabsorb into the bloodstream. Good bowel action (complete elimination) must be done at least 2 times per day.
• LYMPHATIC SYSTEM There are 600-700 lymph glands in the body. Lymph fluid carries nutrition to the cells and removes acid waste products. Lymph fluid flows best in an alkaline environment. When the body is overly acidic, it slows, creating one of the most chronic, long-term, life-threatening situations. Gradually, the lymph dries and begins to form very tiny to very large adhesions throughout the tissues. These adhesions can interfere not only with lymph fluid but with blood flow as well. Hindered lymph flow increases tissue acid storage. Not drinking enough purified water will also slow the lymph. Waste products from foods that are not properly digested are reabsorbed into general circulation via the lymphatic ducts of the small intestine. In addition, bowel movements that do not completely clear the body of its daily poisons are also reabsorbed.  

How to Alkalize Your Water

The simplest and cheapest is something I've been using for nearly 10 years: AquaLyte (you can learn more about AquaLyte by clicking that link). These are sachets of coral calcium that you put into a half gallon of water, wait five minutes (though I let sit overnight) then drink. The product is usually sold through network marketing (which brings the price right up there) but the people at Simply the Best get it directly from the inventor and sell it at the best price on the web. You can check them out here: AquaLyte by Simply the Best.

Next, you can get an electrolyzing water machine that fits on your countertop and delivers filtered electrolyzed water as you need it. It only took me one trip to the hardware store to hook mine up to my reverse osmosis filtered water.

Finally, you can check out my friend's website. They will soon release a machine that is going to revolutionize the market (we are told). The site is: www.electro-water.com. If your business is interested in a commercial size machine or needs consulting, this is the company to go to.
