Ionized structured water
The Fountain of Life®

In various parts of the world, in areas where the inhabitants are known to live exceptionally long lives, the existence of a specific water structure known as hexagonal water is found naturally. The water contains numerous ions, structure making ions (electrolytes) and comes from the snow covered mountains that surround their villages. This water is characterized by a small cluster size which penetrates the cells much faster, supplying nutrition, nutrients and oxygen more efficiently, increasing cell water turnover and cellular metabolism.

Although there is still a great lack of understanding regarding the relationship of water to our health, many of us are now beginning to realize that our health can be improved by improving the quality of our water and that illness can actually be treated with water. The great majority of us tend to take the water we drink for granted, putting blind faith in the fact that we think it is of good quality and safe to drink. But all water is not created equal and it is the structure of the water or the type of water within our bodies that ultimately determines health or sickness. At present, the study of water is thriving, linking water to life, health, and the prevention of disease and we are now heading for an explosive revolution where ionized structured water is concerned.

One of the biggest health issues we are all faced with is the removal or elimination of acidic wastes from our bodies. The act of metabolizing food or nutrient produces wastes which can cause acidification or hardening of organs and tissues. Being in an overly acidic state has been correlated with both disease and aging and if our bodies could eliminate these wastes more efficiently, our life expectancy and overall health would be enhanced. Today, most naturopaths and practitioners are still focusing primarily on alkaline forming foods to help reduce acidic accumulations in the body and not putting much emphasis on the effectiveness of ionized alkaline water. Although raw fresh fruits and vegetables, important for their live enzymes and mineral content, are a major part of the overall equation they still are not as efficient at neutralizing and eliminating metabolized acids from the body as ionized alkaline water can be.

Ionized structured water is energetically more powerful and has a greater capacity to hold and transfer energy moving more efficiently within the body. It carries an abundance of negatively charged hydrogen electrons creating a water that is a powerful antioxidant. It readily passes throughout the cellular matrix of the body increasing nutrient absorption and waste removal. It acts as a carrier of dissolved oxygen improving blood flow and circulation. It helps to alkalize the body, reducing acidic conditions and oxidative stress. The ionized structured water clusters provide optimal hydration, improved vitality, and increased energy-optimal nutrition.

The Fountain of Life^® produces an ionized alkaline water that utilizes a concentration of these structure making ions. The ionized water from The The Fountain of Life^®, consists of smaller hexagonal clusters of molecules, as opposed to larger unorganized water clusters, and these water molecules are able to penetrate cells more rapidly, having an overall effect on metabolism, nutrient absorption, and waste elimination. Ionized structured alkaline water is the key to the water of life! All biological living organisms prefer it and respond with enhancements in growth, metabolic efficiency and enzyme activation. On the other hand, the loss of hexagonally structured water from our bodies can be correlated with disease, lack of vitality, and aging.

We are the water beings on the water planet and water is at the very core or foundation of our existence, our nutrition. It is an intrinsic part of everything we do and and everything we are and we have long taken the value of water for granted. Our awareness of the relationship between water and health is now on the increase. Just look around you and see how many people are drinking bottled water these days. The question is, just what kind of drinking water do you think you should be drinking?

1. The Fountain of Life®
   INCREASES HYDRATION, NUTRIENT ABSORPTION, AND ASSIMILATION

   Water molecules tend to bond in groups of 10-13. Through the process of ionization the water molecules are reduced in size to groups of 5 to 6. This clustering effect geometrically restructures the water molecules hexagonally. When this happens it lowers the hertz frequency or surface tension of the water. What that means to you is that the ionized alkaline water is able to penetrate the cell wall and tissues of the body faster, increasing hydration and absorption, and accomplishing this process much faster than bottled water, tap water, or purified water can. Not only does this aid the body in its ability to create and absorb intra-cellular water but it also aids the body in its ability to assimilated and utilize nutrients, minerals, and other life giving elements for metabolism.

2. A POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT

   Ionized water has an abundance of negatively charged electrons creating a water that is not only energetically more powerful but also a superior anti-oxidant. This means ionized alkaline water or reduced water carries an abundance of extra negative electrons to share with oxidants greatly reducing free radical damage. And what are free radicals? Free radicals are odd-ball molecules possessing unpaired electrons that attach themselves to healthy cells or not so healthy cells and rob them of electrons damaging the cells and altering their ability to function or replicate normally. The reduction potential of ionized alkaline water can be dramatically increased over other antioxidants in food or vitamin supplements.

3. AIDS IN ACIDIC WASTE ELIMINATION AND NEUTRALIZATION

   During the process of metabolizing nutrients, the blood has to transport and deposit acids wastes for removal from the blood stream and body. These acid wastes cannot always be completely removed by normal means of elimination. In other words the blood has to slough them off to different parts of the body in order to maintain homeostasis, where they start to accumulate and create an acidic condition. The beauty of the ionized alkaline water is that it facilitates the body in neutralizing and eliminating these acid wastes.

   It will even begin to dissolve and remove acidic deposits that have been stored (sometimes for years) in various areas of the body. The ionized alkaline minerals help to detoxify and neutralize toxic acid wastes for elimination and removal, aiding the body in its ability to be less acidic and more balanced.

4. INCREASES OXYGEN AND ENERGY

   Now we all know that acids rob the body of oxygen. That's correct. Ionized alkaline water has an abundance of stabilized oxygen in the form of OH^- or negative hydroxyl ions. The The Fountain of Life^®'s ionized alkaline water has an Oxidation/Reduction Potential (ORP) of -200 to -400 mV. What does this mean to you? It means that the ionized reduced alkaline water produced by the separation of the H⁺ and OH^- ions, has considerably more stabilized oxygen then tap water or bottled water.

   The hydroxyl ion (OH^-) is an oxygen donor while the hydrogen ion (H⁺) is an oxygen taker. Acid water (H⁺) is oxygen deficient and alkaline water (OH^-) is oxygen abundant. Reduced ionized water with its increased oxygen content is energetically more powerful than other types of water and helps to improve energy and vitality.

WATER, THE MOST VITAL COMPONENT

Water is the most vital and influential component that provides the body with the ability to maintain its health and prevent deterioration. This can only happen if the quality and structure of the water meets our requirements. For water to be the most effective in our body, it should be of an alkaline pH, which is necessary to assure that the body fluids do not become and remain acidic, resulting in premature aging and illness. Premature and unnatural aging can result from a continual loss of water volume and the body being exposed to water of poor quality. Another major factor is the body's inability to adequately assimilate essential minerals and nutrients. As the body ages and the immune system declines it becomes possible for certain diseases to arise. The body's chemistry becomes unbalanced, and destructive substances known as active oxygen species or free radicals form. These unpaired electrons carry a positive charge and virtually rob electrons from vital cellular sites, damaging the cells and altering their ability to function or replicate normally. In general, free radicals cause the body to deteriorate, age, and are a major cause of many acute and chronic diseases.

To stay in balance and healthy our bodies must continuously be in a proper state of hydration. Between 2 and 3 quarts of water are lost each day through normal bodily functions and this water must be replaced. To prevent toxins and chemical substances from accumulating and creating destructive influences on our cells we must stay hydrated. The water we consume must be able to carry all minerals and nutrients required for cell metabolism and the ability to remove any substances that can damage the cell as well as protecting the cell walls from damage and invasion. Since water is involved in every function of the body, it must act as a conductor of electrochemical activity, such as neurotransmission, by moving water from one nerve cell to another smoothly and effectively.

Osmosis is the movement of water in the body between cells (extra+cellular fluid). This is an electrochemical process created by electromagnetic forces in the body which keep the movement in balance. Changes in pressure create movement across the cell membranes and allow proteins, minerals, and other nutrients being carried by the blood to escape into spaces between vessels and deprive the cells of their vital need to sustain life. When the water in the blood is acidic and contaminated with toxins, it enters the cells and changes their structure, which in turn can lead to changes in DNA. This can be the beginning of the disease process which is very similar to the aging process.

To keep a metabolic balance, our body relies on its chemical processing plant. It knows when it is being depleted of minerals and nutrients which are essential to staying in balance. When the body becomes depleted it must draw from its reserve. This can only be a temporary measure as these reserves need to be replenished. If nothing is done to replenish this depletion, our energy level begins to drop and we allow the body to begin on the path of its destruction. If the body continues to be neglected, the immune system begins to weaken and consequently becomes vulnerable to attack by invaders. This can result from the poor quality of water we consume everyday and the body can only keep its ability to remain balanced if it is given enough good water. Not just clean water, but energetically powerful water with an abundance of negative electrons (-mV) that can provide a good environment for the body to function and carry on its purpose of remaining in balance. The best kind of water to drink is of course, The Fountain of Life^® ionized alkaline water.

Alkaline ionized water contains hydroxyl ions (OH-) that are negatively charged. These ions exist in the form of stabilized oxygen molecules that have gained an electron thus creating a water that is a superior antioxidant. Antioxidants, as you might be aware of, scavenge free radicals (unpaired oxygen molecules that possess only one electron) which are one of the main causes of premature aging and a major cause of many diseases. The ionized alkaline minerals detoxify or neutralize poisonous acid wastes while supplying excess oxygen, hydroxyl ions (OH-), to the cells improving circulation and increasing energy.

Through the process of metabolizing nutrients, acid wastes are deposited in our bodies. The degree of these deposited wastes depends largely upon what our diets consist of, but all foods consumed will create these acidic wastes. This can create an environment that is conducive toward diseases starting up and flourishing. It is one of the most simple, yet overlooked, aspects of staying healthy. Keeping an alkaline diet is at the heart of excellent health. The alkaline properties of ionized water can help us to combat this acid condition and fight off diseases simply by balancing our body's pH and improving the elimination of these accumulated acidic toxins.

Water molecules tend to bond in groups of 10-13. Ionized water molecules are in groups of 5-6, therefore they are "reduced" in size and shape becoming geometrically restructured. The ionized alkaline water will pass through the body's tissue more efficiently, increasing nutrient absorption and assimilation, while improving hydration. For the same reason it's also very detoxifying by effectively aiding the bodies ability to neutralize and eliminate metabolized acids. When you drink ionized water with reduced surface tension the water can actually get into the cell (intracellular hydration) and you want to be in a state where your cells are constantly hydrated, not dehydrated. If your cells are hydrated and your blood has an increased amount of stabilized oxygen then your cellular health will be improved. The type of water you drink is one of the most, if not the most, important thing you can do for maintaining or improving your body's health.

The great majority of people just do not recognize the absolutely crucial value of drinking the right kind of water. Research in the field of cellular hydration has shown that when the cell swells up it triggers an anabolic mechanism in the body, which is a healing mechanism. It is accompanied by positive nitrogen balance, protein synthesis, and growth hormone release. Cellular hydration also results in a reduction of cell acidity, reduced auto-immune response, increased fat burning, DNA repair, and increased resistance to pathogenic microbes. This all happens as a result of cellular hydration.

Now when the cells become dehydrated, it triggers a catabolic state accompanied by muscle wasting, cell hypoxia (oxygen starvation), DNA damage, and accelerated aging. As a result the cell becomes more sensitive to free radicals and more susceptible to viruses and auto-immune diseases. Virtually all symptoms of aging are the result of cellular dehydration accompanied by free radical damage and an excess of acidic toxins. Because the accumulation of waste products inside the body is part of the aging process, helping the body to get rid of these old waste products is to reverse the aging process. All waste products are acidic and the BEST kind of water to drink to remove these wastes and toxins is The The Fountain of Life^® ionized alkaline water.

The Fountain of Life

As the water enters into the The Fountain of Life^® it first passes through a specialized carbon filter that removes organic contaminants such as chlorine, pesticides, and other types of chemicals that can sometimes be found in our water supply systems. It then enters into an electrolysis chamber were there are two sets of platinum coated titanium electrodes. One set being positively charged and the other set being negatively charged. Here the water is split into two types of water. One being an ionized alkaline water and the other an ionized acidic water. Minerals in the water carrying positively charged ions (electrolytes) are attracted to the negative electrodes and other minerals carrying a negative charge are attracted to the positive electrodes. In essence the water is being split into two types of water. An acidic water and an alkaline water. Both waters have therapeutic properties with the alkaline ionized water being utilized for drinking and cooking and the acidic water for topical use or gargling. Now that you understand a little about ionization we can explain some of the benefits that this water can provide you.

First off, when the water goes through the ionization chamber it clusters the water molecules from 11 to 13 molecules per cluster or group down to 5 to 6 molecules per clusters. This clustering effect geometrically restructures the water molecules hexagonally. When this happens it lowers the hertz frequency or reduces the surface tension of the water. What that means to you is that the ionized alkaline water is able to permeate the cell wall and tissues of the body faster, increasing hydration and absorption and accomplishing this process much faster than bottled water, tap water, or purified water can. Not only does this aid the body in its ability to create and absorb intra-cellular water but it also aids the body in its ability to assimilated and utilize nutrients, minerals, and other life giving elements for metabolism. During this process of metabolizing foods or nutrients the cells are expelling by-products or spent fuel so to speak in the form of acids.

The blood carries life giving elements which we'll call fuel for simplicity and distributes these fuels throughout the body for utilization. This is called assimilation. The blood also is in charge of carrying away the residual or spent fuel from the process of metabolizing these fuels or nutrients. This is called elimination. These spent fuels are in the form of acids which you might be familiar with. The majority of these acids are fatty acids, acetic acids, lactic acids, and uric acids. The blood has to maintain its pH level in a rather narrow band around 7.30 to 7.45. This is called homeostasis.

Now pH is an important topic in physiology. If the pH gets too low (too acidic) or too high (to alkaline), then many of the proteins in your body will undergo nasty conformational changes that will make them very unhappy and they won't function properly anymore. This is not good, and so your body has developed ways to avoid this. The body has homeostatic mechanisms to keep the blood pH between 7.30 and 7.45. Deviation from this value by more than a few tenths of a pH unit can be lethal, so your body is highly motivated to keep the blood pH as close to this as possible. Also part of this homeostasis of the blood is the homeostatic control of water. This is called osmoregulation. Osmoregulation is the regulation of water concentrations in the bloodstream, effectively controlling the amount of water available for cells to absorb.

During the process of metabolism the blood has to try to eliminate these acids from the blood stream. They cannot always be effectively removed or neutralized completely and start to bio-accumulate in different parts of the body creating what's known as oxidative stress. The beauty of the ionized alkaline water is that it facilitates the body in neutralizing and eliminating these acidic toxins from the system. It can even begin to dissolve and remove these acid wastes that have been deposited and amassed in the body over years. This is acid detoxification and helps the body to maintain a more balanced pH.

Acids also rob the body of oxygen and can create a condition know as cell hypoxia or oxygen starvation. Ionized alkaline water has approximately twice the amount of stabilized oxygen as regular water in the form of OH- or negative hydroxyl ions. This means that reduced ionized alkaline water with more oxygen content can help to open up capillaries, improving blood flow and circulation thus increasing energy and endurance.

The The Fountain of Life^®'s ionized alkaline water has an Oxidation/Reduction Potential (ORP) of -200 to -400 mV. Ionized alkaline water has an abundance of negatively charged electrons creating a water that is not only energetically more powerful but also a superior anti-oxidant. It means ionized alkaline water or reduced water carries an abundance of extra negative electrons to share or donate therefore reducing free radical damage. And what are free radicals? Free radicals are odd-ball molecules possessing unpaired electrons that attach themselves to healthy cells or not so healthy cells and rob them of electrons damaging or destroying them in the process. The reduction potential of ionized alkaline water can be dramatic when compared to other antioxidants in food or vitamin supplements.

Ionized Alkaline Water

1. Clusters water molecules creating water with less surface tension (lower molecular weight).

2. The water can penetrate the cell walls and tissue more effectively, hydrating the body more efficiently.

3. Structures the water, creating a hexagonally structured water. (Hexagonally structured molecules are known to surround healthy cells and DNA.)

4. Imparts an extra negative electron to the hydrogen atom creating a super anti-oxidant water.

5. The abundance of extra negative electrons creates a reduced water with negative mV making the water energetically more powerful which in turn gives you more energy.

6. Increases the bodies ability to assimilate nutrients and eliminate toxic wastes more effectively.

7. Has up to double the amount of stabilized oxygen in the form of OH- helping to open up capillaries, increasing blood flow and circulation.

8. Ionizes mineral content aiding in mineral assimilation and immune enhancement.

9. Increases intra-cellular hydration resulting in the reduction of cell acidity, reduced auto-immune response, increased fat burning, DNA repair, and increased resistance to pathogenic microbes.

10. Helps to neutralize fermentation and purification in the intestinal tract.

11. Can help alleviate acid reflux problems.

12. Helps the body detoxify stored acidic wastes with improved elimination creating a more balanced environment for the body. (If the body is in an alkaline condition the body's immune system will be enhanced.)

13. Helps the skin to stay softer and more pliable with less premature wrinkling or aging through improved hydration.

14. The reduction of acidic wastes, free radical damage, and increased cellular hydration can help to slow and even reverse the aging process while improving the body's overall physical constitution.

The ionized acidic water is basically the opposite of the alkaline water in that instead of being a reduced water (OH^- and negative mV), it is an oxidizer. In other words, the acidic water has an abundance of H⁺ ions and a positive mV reading. It is an oxygen taker instead of being an oxygen donor. Externally though, acid ionized water has therapeutic values and is good astringent. It can be helpful for acne, blisters, eczema, insect bites, minor wounds and sores, rashes, as a hair rinse, and even as a gargle for sore throat. We as human beings need and breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants on the other hand utilize carbon dioxide and expel or release oxygen and do well when watered with the acidic water. Fruits and vegetables will stay fresher and last longer if they are sprayed or washed with acidic ionized water.

The ideal pH for the body is to be in an alkaline condition internally and an acidic condition externally. Unfortunately for most people they are exactly the opposite due to their ecological environment both internally and externally. With the aid of The The Fountain of Life^® water ionizer, better eating habits (including mineral and nutrient supplements), a little exercise, and a positive outlook getting and keeping the body in a balanced condition is well within the realm of reality. Not only will you feel and look better but you'll be more energetic and alive with improved health and vitality.

"The cell is immortal. It is merely the fluid in which it floats that degenerates. Renew this fluid at intervals, give the cells what they require for nutrition, and the pulsation of life may go on forever."

Dr. Alexis Carrel, Nobel Prize winner

The The Fountain of Life^® water ionizer consists of a water chamber (electrolysis chamber) that has two sets of platinum coated titanium electrodes (four times more platinum than comparable ionizers), one positively charged and the other negatively charged. The negative electrode attracts positive minerals (calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium) which are alkaline minerals and the positive electrode attracts negative minerals (phosphorus, chlorine, and sulfur) which are acidic minerals. The value or degree of a solutions acidity or alkalinity is measured as pH. This logarithmic scale or pH scale ranges from 0 (acidic / H⁺) to 14 (alkaline / OH^-) with 7 being neutral or having equal concentrations of hydrogen ions (H⁺) and hydroxyl ions (OH^-). For example a pH of 6 is 10 times more acidic than a pH of 7 and a pH of 5 is 100 times more acidic and so on.

Through the ionizing process the water molecules attracted to the negative electrode gains a negatively charged electron (e^-) and the net charge of the molecule has been reduced (OH^-) while the molecule attracted to the positive electrode loses an electron and becomes oxidized (H⁺) because it has lost an electron. Cations or positively charged ions are attracted to the negative electrodes to create reduced water (OH^-) while anions or negative ions are attracted to the positive electrode creating oxidized water (H⁺). This removal or addition of electrons is known as an oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction. The redox of water can be measured through the use of an ORP (oxidation-reduction potential) meter where acidic water has a positive mV (millivolt) redox potential while alkaline water will have a negative mV redox potential.

By ionizing the water through the electrolysis chamber, the reduced water (OH^-) molecules are reduced in size from 10 to 13 molecules per cluster down to 5 or 6 molecules per cluster. The molecular weight is altered and the surface tension of the water has been reduced. The smaller water clusters with a lower surface tension (dynes) can penetrate the cellular membranes of the body easier, increasing nutrient absorption, aiding in acidic waste removal, and improving tissue health. The ionized reduced alkaline water, produced by the separation of the H⁺ and OH^- ions, has more than twice the amount of stabilized oxygen compared to tap water or bottled water. The hydroxyl ion (OH^-) is an oxygen donor (LIFE GIVING) while the hydrogen ion (H⁺) is an oxygen taker (LIFE TAKING). Acid water (H⁺) is oxygen deficient while alkaline water (OH^-) is abundant with oxygen.
