For over 10 years of my experience, my concept towards minerals, especially pertaining to ionic calcium in high blood pressure and other diseases is most significant. In accordance to the theory of medical Prof. Gato of Kyushu University on Vitamin K (because vitamin K enables the blood calcium to increase), or the consumption of more alkaline ionic water, the effectiveness of the increase in calcium in high blood pressure is most significant. Most illnesses are caused by too much fat in the diets, which lead to the deposition of cholesterol on the blood vessels which in turn constrict the blood flow. This results in high blood pressure. By drinking alkaline ionic water for a period of 2 to 3 months, the blood pressure should slowly drop, because the alkaline ionic water is a good solvent which dissolves the cholesterol in the blood vessels. Note: According to Singapore Ministry of Health, Cholesterol has been identified as perhaps the most important risk factor for a heart attack. One in two Singaporeans has a cholesterol level above the accepted recommended level, …. The Singaporeans has a higher cholesterol level than his American or Japanese counterparts. - from The Straits Times 9/2/1989

In my opinion, the wonder of alkaline ionic water is the ability to neutralize toxins, but it is not a medicine. The difference is that the medicine can only apply to each and individual case, whereas the alkaline ionic water can be consumed generally and its neutralizing power is something which is very much unexpected. Now, in brief, let me introduce to you a heart disease case and how it was cured. The patient was a 35 years old male suffering from alular heart disease. For 5 years, his sickness deteriorated. He was in the Setagays Government Hospital for treatment. During those 5 years, he had been in and out of the Hospital 5 to 6 times. He had undergone high tech examinations such as angiogram by injecting VINYL via the vein into the heart. He consulted and sought treatment from many good doctors where later he underwent a major surgical operation. Upon his discharge from the hospital, he quit his job to convalesce. However, each time when his illness relapsed, the attack seemed to be even more severe. Last year, in August, his relatives were in despair and expected he would not live much longer. It so happened at that time that the victim's relative came across the alkaline ionic water ionizer. His illness responded well and he is now on the road to recovery. Note: According to Singapore Ministry of Health, about 40% of heart disease patients are below 50 years of age - a higher percentage than in the West - from The Straits Times 9/2/1989

The difference between drinking alkaline ionic water and the normal water is that the excretion of urine is slightly more than intake. However, for severe kidney failure patients, water intake has to be restricted. Consuming alkaline ionic water for these patients in controlled amounts proved to be beneficial. Normal tap water contains phosphate, calcium carbonate and the acidic ions. These acidic ions tend to reduce the efficiency of the calcium ions. Pure alkaline ionic water does not have these problems and it can effectively strengthen the heart and increase urination. After consuming the alkaline ionic water for a month, the amount of urea and uric acid in the blood will show a marked improvement but will not disappear completely. However, if you continue to drink alkaline ionic water for a period of 6 to 12 months, the urea and uric acid should be grossly reduced. Intake of protein during this period should also be controlled. Persistent drinking of alkaline ionic water should eliminate the toxic effect of the urea and uric acid from the body. According to a foreign paper report, patients undergoing dialysis tend to have their negative ions significantly reduced and the positive ions increased. Hence, according to the above experiment and from my personal clinical experience, drinking alkaline ionic water increases the positive ions which will have a significant effect on various kidney diseases. When kidney diseases do not respond to various drugs, it is good to threat them with alkaline ionic water. 

ECZEMA 

Prof. Tamura Tatsuji, Keifuku Rehabilitation Centre 

Eczema is used to describe several varieties of skin conditions which have a number of common features. The exact cause or causes of eczema are not fully understood. In many cases, eczema can be attributed to external irritants. Let me introduce a patient who recovered from skin disease after consuming the alkaline ionic water. This patient suffered 10 years of eczema and could be cured effectively even under specialist treatment. This patient, who is 70 years of age, is the President of a vehicle spare parts company. After the war, his lower limbs suffered acute eczema and later became chronic. He was repeatedly treated in a specialist skin hospital. The left limb responded well to treatment, but not so on the right limb. He suffered severe itchiness, which, when scratched led to bleeding. During the last 10 years, he was seen and treated by many doctors. When I first examined him, his lower limb around the joints was covered with vesicles. Weeping occurred owing to serum exuding from the vesicles. I advised him to try consuming alkaline ionic water. He bought a water ionize and consumed the alkaline ionic water religiously and used the acidic water to bathe the affected areas. After 2 weeks of treatment, the vesicles dried up. The eczema was completely cleared without any relapse after l ½ months.

Mr. Yamada, the head of Police Research Institute, suffered from severe allergy. He was treated repeatedly by skin specialist, but with no success. Then, he started consuming alkaline ionic water. The allergy responded very well and was soon completely cured. No relapse had occurred, although he had taken all kinds of food. He was most grateful and excited about this treatment. As for myself, I had also suffered severe allergy. Ever since I began to consume alkaline ionic water, the allergy has recovered. Since then, I started a research on the effectiveness of alkaline ionic water. I discovered that most allergies are due to acidification of body condition and is also related to consuming too much meat and sugar. In every allergy case, the patient's ionic calcium is excessively low which in turn lower the body resistance significantly. The body becomes overly sensitive and develops allergy easily. To stabilize the sensitivity, calcium solution is injected into the vein. Therefore, it is clear that the alkaline ionic water which has ionic calcium can help to alleviate allergy. The ionic calcium not only enhances the heart, urination, neutralization of toxins but controls acidity. It also enhances the digestive system and liver function. This will promote natural healing power and hence increase its resistance to allergy. In some special cases of illness which do not respond to drugs, it is found to respond well to alkaline ionic water. 

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM PROBLEM 

Prof. Kogure Keizoo, Kogure Clinic of Juntendo Hospital 

The stomach is readily upset both by diseases affecting the stomach and by other general illnesses. In addition, any nervous tension or anxiety frequently causes gastric upset, vague symptoms when they are under some strain. The important role of alkaline ionic water in our stomach is to neutralize the secretion and strengthen its functions. Usually, after consuming the alkaline ionic water for 1 to 3 minutes, the gastric juice increase to l l/2 times. For those suffering from hypochlorhydria or achlorhydria (low in gastric juice) the present of alkaline ionic water will stimulate the stomach cells to secrete more gastric juice. This in turn enhances digestion and absorption of minerals. However, on the other hand, those with hyperchlorhydria (high in gastric juice), the alkaline ionic water neutralizes the excessive gastric juice. Hence, it does not create any adverse reaction. According to the medical lecturer from Maeba University, the pH of the gastric secretion will still remain normal when alkaline ionic water is consumed. This proved that the ability of the alkaline ionic water is able to neutralize as well as to stimulate the secretion. Note: According to the Singapore Ministry of Health, Colo-rectal Cancer is 13% of cancer deaths. Colo-rectal cancer is one of the fastest-spreading cancers in Singapore and is fast overtaking lung cancer as the leading cancer killer. Those in the high-risk group are Chinese and those above 45 years. One in 25 Chinese has a possibility of being a victim --- The Straits Times 18/7/1992

When I was serving in the Fire Insurance Association, I used to examine many diabetic patients. Besides treating them with drugs, I provided them with alkaline ionic water. After consuming alkaline ionic water for one month, 15 diabetic patients were selected and sent to Tokyo University for further test and observations. Initially, the more serious patients were a bit apprehensive about the treatment. When the alkaline ionic water was consumed for some time, the sugar in the blood and urine ranged from a ration of 300 mg/l to 2 mg/dc. There was a time where the patient had undergone 5 to 6 blood tests a day and detected to be within normal range. Results also showed that even l l/2 hour after meals, the blood sugar and urine ration was 100 mg/dc : 0 mg/dc. The sugar in the urine has completely disappeared.

PRE-ECLAMPTIC TOXEMIA 

Prof. Watanabe Ifao, Watanabe Hospital 

Alkaline ionic water improves body constituents and ensures effective healing to many illnesses. The uses of alkaline ionic water in gynecological patients have proved to be very effective. The main reason for its effectiveness is that this water can neutralize toxins. When given alkaline ionic water to pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, the results are very significant. During my long years of servicing the pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, I found that the women with pre-eclamptic toxemia who consumed alkaline ionic water tend to deliver healthier babies with stronger muscles. A survey report carried out on babies born in this group have intelligence above average.

Due to a higher standard of living, our eating habits have changed. We consume too much protein, fats and sugar. The excess fats and carbohydrates are in the body as fats. In the present lifestyles, Americans are more extravagant on food compared to the Japanese. Due to this excessive intake, obesity is a significant problem. Normally, one out of five males and one out of four females is obese. The degree of "burn-out" in food intake largely depends on the amount of intake of vitamins and minerals. When there is excessive intake of protein, carbohydrate and fats, the requirement for vitamins and minerals increases. However, there is not much research carried out pertaining to the importance of vitamins and minerals. Nowadays, many people suffer from acidification that leads to diabetes, heart diseases, cancer, liver and kidney diseases. If our food intake can be completely burned off, then there is no deposition of fats. Obviously, there will be no acidification problem and hence there should not be any sign of obesity. The alkaline ionic water contains an abundance of ionic calcium. This ionic calcium helps in the "burn-off" process. By drinking alkaline ionic water, it provides sufficient minerals for our body. As a result, we do not need to watch our diet to stay slim. Hence, alkaline ionic water is a savior for those suffering from obesity and many adult diseases, providing good assistance in enhancing good health.  

Regular consumption of alkaline water improves regularity to the body. Unlike tap water you can drink large amounts of alkaline water without bloating or stomach upset. Ideally, you should be drinking a minimum of 1/2 of your body weight in ounces per day and refrain from consuming excessive amounts beyond this goal or just prior to bedtime.

  Additional therapeutic consumption guidelines:

A. Gastrointestinal disorders and Diarrhea – drinking a few glasses on an empty stomach is effective

B. Constipation – drinking 2 glasses 1/2 to 1 hour before a meal is  effective 

C. Acid Reflux - drinking 2 glasses 1/2 to 1 hour before a meal is  effective 

D. Hi or Low blood pressure – drinking on an empty stomach 1 hour prior to eating is effective

E. Diabetes – drinking 3 or more glasses on an empty stomach is effective

Compared to the conventional methods of beverage preparation, using Alkaline water will result in less coffee, tea, and juice concentrates being used. This is due to the greater absorption and permeability of water. The color of tea is vivid, its astringency is lessened making it mellow and delicious. Coffee acidity is reduced imparting a strong aroma and smooth yet rich flavor. Preparing juice from concentrate, with alkaline water reduces the acidity, extends the shelf life and maximizes the fruit flavor. Juice preparation with level 4 alkaline water allows for maximum acid reduction, preservation and compounds the antioxidant properties.

Using alkaline water for cooking and food preparation allows you to minimize cooking time and maximize flavor. This is because of the smaller molecular structure size of the alkaline water, its permeability and its transfer of convection heat. The alkaline water will boil in half the time compared to regular water allowing food to be fully cooked in minimal time.

Specific guidelines of cooking and preparation:

A. Vegetables – Steeping, washing, boiling or steaming with alkaline  water allows the vegetables to retain the chlorophyll keeping the color vivid, minimizing harshness, maximizing flavor and makes them easier to digest. 

B. Red Meats & Liver – When liver and red meats are steeped in alkaline water for 20 to 30 minutes, the blood is drawn out and odors are eliminated. 

C. Fish – Cooking with alkaline water allows fish to remain moist, firm  and keep its flaky texture. 

D. Beans & Rice – Steep beans for 1 to 2 hours before cooking,

depending on the size. Cooking both rice and beans with alkaline will extend their refrigerated shelf life.

A. Animal and Pets - Using level 1 alkaline water for pets should maintain health and result in reduced feces odors and a healthier coat, fur or feathers.

B. Plant and Flowers – Although most plants will thrive with the use of restructured acidic water, cut floral arrangements and certain non-rooted plants will live much longer and keep their fresh cut appearance longer.

Because of the acidic water’s astringent effect and constricting action it will tighten and smooth the skin when it is used for face washing and bathing. Acidic water is also effective in the treatment and prevention of acne and other skin blemishes.

  Specific guidelines for personal care:

A. Washing the face – Washing with acidic water makes the skin smooth, improves its complexion, and reduces make-up irritation.

B. Shampooing – Using the acidic water to rinse your hair before and after shampooing will protect the hair, minimize hair loss, reduce or eliminate dandruff and leaves your hair soft and shiny.  

C. Shaving – Shaving with the acidic water protects the health and  beauty of the Skin, gives a clean and fresh feeling after shaving, protects from shaving rash and works as a styptic. 

D. Bathing – Place two to four gallons of acidic water in the bathtub. It is effective for overall beauty and the health of your skin. 

E. Body wash – Wiping the body with a towel that has been steamed  in acidic water is effective for overall beauty, complexion and health of your skin. 

Due to the slight disinfecting and sterilization properties of acidic water it has an analgesic effect on the skin and aids in the healing of mouth and throat sores as well as injuries and irritations to the skin.

A. Gargling – Gargling with acidic water prevents infection by germs including the microbes that cause colds and tonsillitis.

B. Sunburns and Burns – Alleviates the pain, relieves inflammation and accelerates recovery

C. Eczema, chapping and other skin problems – Accelerates recovery when applied directly with a wet compress or sprayed onto skin.

D. Wounds, cuts, and abrasions – Applying the acidic water exhibits a disinfecting and styptic action and accelerates recovery.

E. Toe Fungus and Athletes Foot – Soaking with acidic water  3 times daily prevents spread and speeds recovery. 

F. Bruises and Sprains – Applying or soaking 3 times daily speeds recovery. 

A. Fruits & Vegetables - Washing and processing of colorful fruits and vegetables, with acidic water, allows the brilliance of the fruits and vegetables to shine. This is due to the slight bleaching action of the acidic water. Also, the slight sterilization action of the acidic water helps to eliminate bacteria found on the surface.

B. Boiling Eggs – Boiling eggs with acidic water allows the white of the eggs to remain intact even when the shells crack during boiling. Additionally, the yolk will stay centered in the middle of the egg.

C. Beans & Peas – Colorful beans and peas and similar legumes  are cooked quickly with the acidic water allowing the natural brilliant appearance to remain intact. 

D. Fish – Rinsing and soaking certain fish tightens filets and helps  to eliminate bacteria due to the slight sterilization effect. 

E. Hand washing – Washing hands with acidic water eliminates bacteria, food odors and itching. It also will leave hands softer and eliminates chaffing.

A. Household cleaning, Vehicle washing & Polishing – Due to the bleaching and disinfecting properties of acidic water it is useful as a base water for removing dirt and grime from a variety of household surfaces. Also, less cleaning solution is needed when using acidic water as a base cleaning water. Acidic water is also effective for cleaning and polishing mirrors, eyeglasses, glass, stemware, and silverware.

B. Kitchen cleaning – Acidic water provides disinfecting properties that are useful in the kitchen as well. Cutting boards and utensils are quickly cleaned and disinfected when cleaned with acidic water. Pots and pans that are soaked overnight in acidic water will lose stains and burns from baked on food. Dish cloths using acidic water will not harbor odors from bacteria and fungi.

C. Pet care – Bathing pets in acidic water leaves the coat lustrous and shiny. It prevents itching and skin disease.

D. Art & Painting – Water based paints and canvas work is preserved and quality of adherence is improved.
