What type of water is best to use? Can I use reverse osmosis water? Can I use it with fruit juice?

from Gita

Dear Gita,

Below are some points which may help you.

• Room temperature "pre-filtered" tap water is the best water to use.
  You can use any of the typical water filters on the market "Brita" or "PUR". Or, you can step-up to something more effective that removes chlorine, fluoride, sediment and smells from your water. You really should drink the best water you can afford. The better water filters come in many configurations; counter-top, under-the-sink and whole house units.
  
  We don't offer water filters directly, but we can suggest a company we are happy with.
   

• Don't use reverse osmosis water or distilled water.
  They have no minerals and we need the minerals to react with. If you choose to use bottled water be sure you know what process they used to clean the water. Some bottled water available from the store is reverse osmosis water.
   
• Never use your Hydrogen Water Stick with anything but room temperature water.
  As always, prefer you use "pre-filtered water.

Is this equivalent to a machine like a Ionizer?

from Meg R.

Dear Meg,

Yes and no. Ionizers are a great invention. I almost purchased one. But lucky for me, I didn't have the money at the time. I then learned through Dr. Hayashi, that when it comes to providing you with a portable source of Hydrogen Rich Water; Ionizers have their limitations.

Dr. Hayashi's research papers on Ionized Water are absolutely the most quoted and referenced Ionized Water research papers on the Internet.

Lucky for all of us, Dr. Hayashi didn't stop his research at Ionized water. He observed the biggest benefit of Ionized Water was that the Ionized Water process made hydrogen readily available to the body as the most powerful anti-oxidant known.

But there was one significant challenge, constraining the Hydrogen in the water until it was ready to be conveniently consumed -- anytime or anywhere. Hydrogen, an extremely light gas dissipates in just a matter of minutes. Leaving the once beneficial Ionized Hydrogen-Rich Water, now hydrogen poor and energy depleting.

He knew through his research that everyone is hydrogen depleted, but having people sitting all day at their Water Ionizer, normally found on the kitchen counter, waiting to instantly consume their next glass of Ionized hydrogen rich water, before the hydrogen could escape was neither practical or convenient.

Dr. Hayashi realizing that Water Ionizers could never be a practical means of producing Hydrogen rich water, set out to find a new practical process and methodology. In 2001, he succeeded in developing the "Hydrogen Producing Mineral Stick" which produced Hydrogen Rich Water very simply, reliably and inexpensively. In December 2005, he was able to improve upon the design and delivery system with a new stick which is made of unique microporous sintered polypropylene as a new patented delivery system.

Dr. Hayashi's Hydrogen Water Sticks do not share any of the potential negative health hazards that Water Ionizers can produce, namely over alkalizing your drinking water. Dr. Hayashi's sticks do however preserve all the proper positive benefits, namely negative ORP values, safe alkaline pH levels and the enormous benefits of readily available hydrogen rich water - ready whenever and wherever you need it.

I read it is recommended that a person use one hydrogen stick if they are less than 35 years old, 2 sticks if they are more than 35 years old and 3 sticks if they want to see improvement with a health condition. What is your recommendation for use?

from Heidi D.

Dear Heidi,

Yes, you are correct. The recommendation you mention is from Dr. H. Hayashi, a Cardiovascular Surgeon with over 20 years of research and development in the health benefits of Hydrogen Rich Water. We consider Dr. Hayashi, the leading authority on research and the many health benefits of drinking Hydrogen Rich Water.

We would like to offer a suggestion of his advice for only one reason, Detoxification. The typical American diet is extremely toxic and most people have never experienced  a thorough detoxification process. They often become concerned by detox symptoms, when actually these  symptoms are beneficial. Detoxification is good!

If you need three Hydrogen Rich Water sticks, we would like to suggest that you  begin with one Hydrogen Rich Water stick for about two weeks, then add in the second stick,  for two weeks, finally add the third stick. There is no additional benefit to using more than three Hydrogen Rich Water sticks, as three sticks will totally saturate your water.

As always, we would like to remind you that your source water and your choice of water bottle are two very important factors in producing Hydrogen Rich Water.

(2) O2- is further reduced by hydrogen atom H ( active hydrogen radical ), producing active oxygen H2O2 ( hydrogen peroxide ).

(3) H2O2 is further reduced, producing active oxygen HO・（ hydroxyl radical ） and hydroxide anion ( HO- )．

(4) HO・ is reduced by hydrogen atom, producing water ( H2O )

(5) HO- is also reduced by proton ( H+ ), producing water. CONCLUSION Oxygen from the lungs keeps producing active oxygen species ( O2-, H2O2, HO・) in the body, but these kinds of active oxygen species are reduced successively through bonding with atomic hydrogen (active hydrogen ) and eventually revert back to the original water. （

1. O2 ＋ e- → O2-
2. O2- ＋ H・ ＋ H+ → H2O2
3. H2O2 ＋ e- → HO・ ＋ HO-
4. HO・ ＋ H・ → H2O
5. HO- ＋ H+ → H2O

Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi specialized in Cardiovascular Surgery after graduating in 1968 from the Medical School of Kobe University, Japan. In 1985, after 20 years of clinical experiences as a surgeon, he began advanced research on water . Dr. Hayashi would like to share his 25 years of research and documented clinical experience on the health aspects of drinking hydrogen rich water and how it can help improve your health and vitality without side effects.

Dr. Hayashi's research papers on Ionized Water are absolutely the most quoted and referenced Ionized Water research papers on the Internet.

In December 2005, he was able to improve upon the design and delivery system with a new stick which is made of unique microporous sintered polypropylene as a new patented delivery system.

Hydrogen Rich Water Sticks been sold successfully in Japan for the past 7 years and are now available in America today for you and your family -- to use anywhere and anytime.

It is believed that in the near future hydrogen will change our lives from their very foundation.

Something that is attracting a great deal of attention at the moment is the fuel cell automobile. The fuel cell vehicle is based on the principle of running on the energy generated by the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. This would be the ultimate eco-car because the only byproduct of this reaction is water.

Another reported idea is the use of this same principle for an electrical power generator to be installed in homes as a power source for lighting, heating as well as mechanical application. When this happens, the world would literally change because each household would have its own power station and there would be no more need for thermal, hydro and atomic power plants, as well as power lines and steel towers.

What interests me in particular is that this time comes , it will be extremely simple for every household to produce its own Hydrogen Rich Water.

When Hydrogen Rich Water can be obtained simply, reliably and cheaply, I think the world will change dramatically in a different sense from that mentioned above.

That is, maintaining good health and preventing disease will no longer be considered topics worth discussing, and people will not constantly be making a fuss of diseases (“It’s cancer!” ”It’s diabetes!” ”It’s hay fever!”) as is presently the case.

Also, if you have drunk a little too much alcohol or smoked a little too much, or don’t feel well, or seem to be cathing a cold, or have caught influenza, it would be easy to get rid of the symptoms simply by consciously increasing your intake of Hydrogen Rich Water.

I would like to end with the philosophy I have learned from Hydrogen Rich Water during these past eighteen years. I think hydrogen should be called “ the source.” That is to say, hydrogen, the element with the atomic number One, is the “source” of all the other elements, and the sun, which nurtures all things with its solar energy, is actually a big ball of hydrogen.

At the same time it is hydrogen atom, or active hydrogen, that protects us living organisms from disease.

My conclusion follows below.
I propose that the Creator of the universe, and the Creator of all living things, created hydrogen as the first element in order to protect all its living creatures from disease.

I have concluded that modern medicine is nothing more than "medicine to alleviate downstream pollution while leaving upstream pollution alone."

Let me explain the basis of this argument.

When we digest the food we take in by mouth in our stomach and intestines, these digested nutrients are absorbed through the intestinal walls. The nutrients absorbed through the intestinal walls pass through the portal veins and are carried to the liver in that order. The nutrients that are carried to the liver undergo various metabolic processes, after which they pass through the hepatic vein into vena cava inferior and carried to the organs all over the body by general circulation.

That is to say, they are transported in this order:

Liver ► Hepatic vein ► Vena cava inferior ► General circulation ►Organs all over the body.

As a whole, the order is:

Digestive system ► Portal vein ► Liver ► Organs all over the body.

If we think of the liver as a kind of "checkpoint station", the parts of the process that occur before reaching the liver can be referred to as "upstream", and the parts that take place after leaving the liver as "downstream."

As shown in Illustration , the portion from the mouth to the liver can be called as "upstream" ( Lake Ontario : checkpoint before liver) while the organs that come after the liver can be as called as "downstream" (River Saint Lawrence : checkpoint after liver).

Looking at metabolism this way, we see that when the "upstream" is polluted, the "downstream" will become polluted as well. Thus, the disease-causing substances of upstream will cause diseases of downstream.

Now I think you understand my statement that "Modern Medicine is medicine to alleviate downstream pollution while leaving upstream pollution alone."

What, then, does "upstream pollution " mean ?

It means "production of offensive feces" by "abnormal gastrointestinal fermentation." Because the substances that cause offensive feces are substances that result from the putrefaction of protein (eggs, fish or meat), they are called "putrefied metabolites." In short, it is as if people who always excrete offensive feces were eating rotten eggs, fish and meat everyday. The difference is that if they were eating rotten food, they would get sick immediately, while in this case the food rots after they eat it, so it takes more time for them to get sick.

Therefore, it is important to lead a lifestyle which does not produce offensive feces. But now we have what can change offensive feces into clean feces as if by magic, that is Hydrogen Rich Water.

A week or two after people begin to use Hydrogen Rich Water, they notice that their feces have literally changed in comparison to when they were using tap water (hydrogen poor water).

That is, the "blackish brown, bad-smelling, hard, heavy feces" of the tap water days changed to " light brown, soft, light feces without a strong bad odor, ",similar to the bowel movements that appear in the diapers of a breastfed baby. We adults tend to think that it is natural for adults feces to have a bad smell, but this is actually a great misconception.

Every breastfeeding mother knows from her experience that when her baby has light- colored soft stool with very little bad odor, she can be sure that the baby is healthy, drinking plenty of breast milk, and growing well. On the other hand, when the baby has "blackish,bad-smelling,hard stool," the baby is cranky and feverish, and sometimes vomits up milk.

The condition of producing offensive feces is generally called abnormal fermentation of gastrointestinal tract, which indicates the opposite of normal fermentation ,but simply put, it is "decay."

In other words, if the food we take in by mouth has a rotten smell (bad smell) when it is excreted from the anus, this means abnormal fermentation has taken place.

Let us look at a simple explanation concerning the substances that cause disgusting feces brought about by abnormal gastrointestinal fermentation

Some of the substances that cause disgusting feces are hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, histamine, indole, phenol or nitrosamine, all of which are toxic, pathogenic, substances.

• Hydrogen Sulfide : A strongly toxic substance with a distinctive rotten-egg odor.
• Ammonia : A strongly toxic substance with a distinctive irritating odor commonly found in public toilets.
• Histamine : A substance that triggers allergic conditions.
• Indole : A toxic, carcinogenic substances with a smell like rotten onions.
• Phenol : Recognized to be carcinogens due to carbolic acid.
• Nitrosamine : Known as a first-class carcinogen.

In a sense, failing to deal with offensive feces is like having a time bomb in your body.

You can, however, defuse this time bomb by drinking Hydrogen Rich Water.
