Do Adults Get Osteoporosis If They Keep on Drinking Milk?　　　　（07/01/2007）

Carrying on from the previous entry on natural bittern, I will now discuss minerals.
About two months ago, NHK's “Try and Make a Change” program looked at the “calcium paradox”. A paradox is a statement that contradicts what is generally recognized as true, such as “blessed are the poor”. The calcium paradox here is that people who keep drinking lots of milk to make their bones stronger actually make them fragile.

In one family in my neighborhood, the father is short, so he makes his two sons drink plenty of milk, so that they will grow up tall. When my two sons came to America 24 years ago, they were delighted to drink one gallon (approximately four liters) of milk a day.
I stopped drinking milk for many reasons, but the calcium paradox was one of them.

Minerals are one of the five nutritional groups essential for human life, alongside proteins, carbohydrates, fats and vitamins. Their action has been in the spotlight since the 1980s.

Here are the actions of minerals.
[1] They neutralize substances which oxidize the body, such as meat and sugar.
[2] They take nutrients in through cell walls and expel harmful substances.
[3] They take vitamins into the body and activate them.
So however much you take vitamins in supplements, those vitamins would not function without the action of minerals. However, minerals also act in the following amazing way:
[4] Minerals and sugars create proteins, carbohydrates, fats and vitamins (other than vitamin C) through the action of microorganisms and enzymes in the gut.
That is how the aboriginal people of New Guinea, living almost entirely on taro, can be so muscular.

Modern people are chronically deficient in minerals
In 1977, the McGovern report from the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs praised the Japanese diet, as it had been since 1960.
The report said that even in Africa there were almost no obesity or diabetes patients before 1960. In Japan and in Africa, diets were centered on carbohydrates, and also had plenty of vitamins and minerals.

The mineral content of vegetables today has plummeted. It is happening because, with the use of fertilizers and agrochemicals, the soil itself is deficient in minerals. Processed foods don’t have enough minerals either. Furthermore, the body must use its precious minerals when it breaks down the food additives from processed foods.
Even more damaging for the body, in terms of mineral deficiency, are refined salt and sugars, and white rice. Salt made from seawater is an abundant source of minerals. Sugar made from sugar cane, a rich source of minerals, is stripped of nearly all minerals in the refining process. And why do so many people eat white rice, from which the germ, rich in vitamins and minerals, has been discarded?
For over 20 years, I have been eating brown rice, cooked in a pressure cooker. Now I eat 30% polished rice, which we polish at home right before cooking it.

Kangen Water is a balanced mineral supplement
The minerals which are necessary for the body are called “essential minerals”. So far, it includes 29 types. Of those, sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium have particularly important roles. Calcium makes bones and protects the nerves. More than half of the magnesium in the body is in the bones, where it acts to bind calcium and phosphorous. So, however much calcium you take, your bones will get brittle if you lack magnesium.

The balance of calcium to magnesium in cow milk is twelve to one, compared to three to one in human breast milk. Current research puts the ideal balance at two to one.
For a growing child it is good to get a bit more calcium, but if an adult continues to do so, the balance in the body collapses and it must expel calcium to restore the balance. Unfortunately, calcium leached from the bones is expelled at the same time. That is the “calcium paradox”, by which an adult who keeps on drinking milk gets brittle bones.

Now I’ll tell you the simplest way to get your minerals.
Water can be either soft or hard. Soft water contains not more than 60mg of calcium and magnesium, in total, per liter. Over 120mg is hard water, and in between is neutral.

Water in Japan is soft, that in the USA and Europe is hard. Kangen Water, which is cathodic water, has four important minerals added, so it has higher mineral content.
Mr. Teruya of Enagics tells of a Hawaiian woman in her 70s, who had been diagnosed with osteoporosis and had not gained bone density by taking calcium pills. She abandoned the pills and switched to Kangen Water, and her bone density normalized after two years.
So in America, it is a good idea to drink 2.5 liters of Kangen Water a day.
In Japan, I hear that increasing numbers of people are drinking bittern water, for health and beauty.

Soymilk + Natural Bittern = Tofu. It Tastes Great!　　　　（06/15/2007）

On the 2nd of June, I gave a seminar titled “A way of life, recommended by eminent doctors, that anybody can follow to avoid getting sick”.
My wife made tofu for the event, and all 16 participants ate some. It was very popular, and she taught quite a few people how to make tofu.

When I’m asked “What do you want for dinner tonight?”, I often answer "handmade tofu”. I’m amazed every time: “Does tofu really taste this good?"
My talk on “A way of life to avoid sickness” centered on good food and Kangen water, but I think the participants will remember the taste of the tofu more than what I said in that hour.
I think “Foods that are good for the body mustn’t taste bad, because people won’t keep on eating something distasteful”. So, this time, I’ll write a little about protein and minerals.

The author of “A way of life to avoid sickness”, Professor Hiromi Shinya, had the following to say in her “Conclusion on health”.

The three antioxidant enzymes SOD, catalase and glutathione peroxidase are composed of protein and the minerals zinc, lead and selenium. When these three are present in the body in sufficient amounts, and work together, they neutralize free radicals, so we must make sure we take enough proteins and minerals in our daily diets. SOD, in particular, diminishes rapidly from middle age onwards. When SOD is deficient, we become more vulnerable to minor illnesses such as colds, and also to grave adult-onset diseases, such as cancer, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, stroke and diabetes.

SOD is the antioxidant enzyme super oxide dismutase, an extremely important enzyme. It breaks down and neutralizes the strong free radical super oxide radical, which appeared in my last entry. Professor Shinya, in common with Professor Mitsuishi, emphasizes the importance of proteins, vitamins and minerals.

Natural bittern is the pale amber liquid left after seawater is boiled down to make natural salt. It is called “nigari” because it tastes bitter (“nigai” in Japanese). Natural bittern is a treasure chest of around 80 trace minerals, including magnesium, sodium and calcium. We often rely on the easy option of processed foods in our every diet. Such foods break down the mineral balance inside the body, causing all kinds of physical problems. However, it is not easy to judge what to supplement, and how much.
But this is an approach worth considering: Life was born in the oceans. The mineral balance of our blood is very close to that of seawater. So, the simplest and most rational way to supplement is with natural bittern, which has the right balance from the beginning. Let’s take a look at the work of Doctor Shunichi Magara (Somon Clinic, Hachioji, Tokyo), who brought natural nigari into a clinical setting.

An increasing number of children lose their temper very easily, and they are becoming a problem for society. I think breakdown of mineral balance is one of the causes. The phenomenon began earlier in the US than in Japan, and trials there in which violent children were given minerals are reported to have seen their violence disappear and their academic performance improve by 10% or more. When autistic children, school refusers and others were given the essential minerals, most exhibited marked improvements, although there were differences of degree. My clinic mainly treats cancer patients, but many of them are mineral deficient. Most of the functions of the body operate through metabolism mediated by enzymes, but trace minerals are essential for activating those enzymes. I recommend natural bittern for those patients. There is nothing better, because it has the same perfect mineral balance found in nature. Abridged … Natural bittern has superior detoxifying effects, eliminating harmful substances from the body. Harmful minerals impede metabolism, so it becomes easier for fats to build up in the body. From that point of view, the detoxifying effect of natural bittern helps the treatment of metabolic syndrome. Abridged … “In the long term, organisms that cannot adapt to nature die out. The same is true of humans, and we should take another look at natural bittern, which is inherently the nature of the oceans, so that we can enjoy its benefits. Medical treatment makes excessive use of chemical drugs, so it’s dangerous”. (From "Visceral fat cleaning power” by Mitsushi Asahigaoka)

【How to Make Tofu】
Take 200cc of unmodified soymilk, add one teaspoon of natural bittern, stir thoroughly and steam for about 20 minutes. Cut a hole in the tofu with a knife. If no white liquid comes out, the tofu is ready.

Next time, I will look further at the actions of minerals and the relationships between minerals and Kangen Water.

Why is the LeveLuk electrolyzed water generator a real product?　　（04/01/2007）

Mr. Yukio Funai is one of the world’s top class of management consultants, known as "the God of management”. He has won the greatest confidence of businesses ranging from major retailers to financial institutions. In 1993, he wrote “Discovering the Real Things of the Next Ten Years", and in 1997, in "Age of Women, Age of Word of Mouth”, he predicted that people in the future would become “real people” and an age would come in which they would lead a “real way of life”.
After repeated studies within Funai Consulting, he decided to set four conditions as the definition for “the real thing" and regard “things that broadly clear all four conditions” as real. Lets take a look at whether LeveLuk products meet those four conditions.

(1) It doesn’t harm things that go with it
Enagic recently saw an electrolytic layer with pure white calcium stuck to it. A person who bought the product over two years ago and didn’t know about filter replacement or the cleaning filters brought it to the company because water stopped coming out. They took the product apart and this is what they found.
It seems that quite a few users had mistaken the cleaning filter (one-use disposable filter), which contains citric acid, for the main filter, and had been using it that way.
Enagic is also diligent in its maintenance services. If you listen to the sales staff’s explanations when buying the product, and drink, if possible, as much as two liters a day, the water certainly does no harm, and instead raises immune function, serving as preventive medicine.

(2) It improves things that go with it
Revitalize and harmonize
Mr. Funai uses “revitalize” to mean “raise antioxidant potential and strengthen immune function”. The Kangen Water produced by this generator has been endorsed by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare as improving abnormal intestinal fermentation.
It is the ultimate antioxidant food.

On the “harmonize” side, this water is kind to the Earth by “helping to prevent pollution of rivers by enabling reduced use of detergents” and “helping to reduce the use of PET bottles, which is indirectly linked to environmental pollution” (according to the International Earth Environment University).

(3) High quality, safe and dependable
There are said to be 40 manufacturers of electrolyzed water in Japan, but only LeveLuk from Enagics has been awarded the JAPA Mark by the Japanese Association of Preventive Medicine for Adult Disease, a non-profit organization.

My primary physician, Dr.XXX bought a generator as soon as he knew it had the JAPA Mark. He said the JAPA mark could be trusted as a proof of high quality and reliability.
At the Japanese Association of Preventive Medicine for Adult Disease, experts can give sound answers to questions on water and health. Health consultation contact: Tel 03-3661-0171, Tokyo, Japan (only available in Japanese)

(4) Economical
I don’t like to measure everything by monetary yardsticks. I expect you’re all like that too.
The four models of generator range from US$1,280 + tax to US$3,980 + tax.
Most people I mention these generators to say "Expensive!!!”.
But let’s look at health in units of ten years, and in family units, and at the level of preventive medicine.

Supposing the generator is an SD501 with seven electrolytic plates (guaranteed for seven years in Japan, five years in the USA). For a family of four, it would need one replacement filter ($90) per year and two cleaning filters ($18) per year. $3,980 + tax ($328.35) + $126 x 10 years = $5,568.35 Dividing by ten years (3,650 days), that comes to approximately $1.50 per day.

That is a fraction of the cost of vitamins. The water itself is made from mains water, so it can be shared among many people.
In April 2004 the International Earth Environment University, founder by the late professor Linus Pauling, winner of two Nobel prizes, awarded its Environment Prize to LeveLuk products. One of the four reasons for the award was “drinking Kangen Water is a natural preventive medicine, which makes a contribution to the major reduction of national medical costs.

LeveLuk products are now selling at the brisk rate of 1,000 units a month. In New York, in particular, people from the Caribbean who have annual incomes of only $8,000 and can’t afford health insurance have started working seriously to spread the use of this water.
Before I found this water, I was taking a new drug called Glivec against hemophilia. If I didn’t have health insurance, it would have cost me $10,000 for two pills a day, 60 pills a month.

Become a producer and consumer of health　　　　（03/15/2007）

I wrote two articles in March about abnormal intestinal fermentation. They were both failures.
While spending a huge amount of time looking for articles, I made up my mind to tidy up all the paper clutter in the house, and, having already mentioned abnormal fermentation, I decided it was time to change the subject.

I read a book called "Revolutionary Wealth" by Alvin and Heidi Toffler, professors at the National Defense University.
"Economics, culture, systems, society, knowledge – the world is evolving to a new dimension at a scale and speed never before seen in history! Who will grasp wealth in the 21st century".
It’s a really interesting book. Let’s take a look at part of chapter 24 "Producers and consumers of health".

The consumption and production economy that will emerge in the future will create many new millionaires… Markets will be shaken by production and consumption activity, the division of roles in society will shift, and ideas about wealth will change. Even the natures of health and medicine will change … (abridged) The medical field is developing amazing new technologies, but medical institutions are far behind the times, and their organizations are confused and counterproductive, sometimes even fatally so. If you think "fatally" is an overly dramatic word to use, let's look at a few facts. According to the US Centers for Disease Control, 90,000 people a year die from infections contracted in hospitals. Deaths from medical errors are estimated at between 44,000 and 98,000 per year. We’re talking about a medical system that is the world’s most advanced, into which enormous amounts of money are poured. In 2001, the possibility of dying from medical accident or infection while in hospital was higher than the possibility of dying from a traffic accident while driving. Of course, we don’t know how many people died because they could not receive medical care, even in a developed country. Nevertheless, there are some things we do know. In wealthy countries such as Japan, the USA and Western Europe, it is becoming impossible to halt the surge in medical costs, society is aging rapidly, and politicians are panicking. Abridged. The construction of new global transport networks has made it almost impossible for national borders to stop the spread of old and new diseases. It is not even possible to stop global outbreaks. Public health authorities do not have large enough budgets. The possibility of a religious or political extremist group obtaining biological, chemical or nuclear weapons and committing a terrorist attack is not just something out of the movies any more. On the other hand, the specialization of medical care has progressed to an extreme degree, making dialog between fields difficult to a dangerous degree. Bureaucracies are no longer able to keep up. Hospitals are going bankrupt, one after another. In industrialized countries, the patterns of disease are changing dramatically. These days, the infectious diseases pneumonia, tuberculosis and influenza no longer rank highly among causes of death. The leaders are heart disease, lung cancer and other diseases strongly influenced by living habits, such as diet, exercise, alcohol, drugs, smoking, stress, sexual activity and overseas travel. But even as these changes have happened, there has been no change in the basic approach that doctors are "suppliers of health" while patients are "customers". As society ages, there may be a pressing need to reconsider that approach. Abridged. According to the WHO, on a region by region basis, Europe is the most elderly, while at the level of individual countries, Japan has the highest proportion of population aged 60 and above. By 2020, the WHO predicts that nearly one in three of the Japanese population will be 60 or older. In Japan, France, Germany and Spain, one in five of the population over 60 will be over 80. No country’s medical system is designed to cope with the combination of growth in lifestyle-related diseases and the aging of society. That is a combination unprecedented in history, and the medical system "reforms" now being proposed will not be enough. Furthermore, there is not enough understanding of how such changes will impact the elements of wealth, such as taxation, pensions, housing, employment, retirement and finance. What we need not is not a mere revolution. It is a far more dramatic change".

Do you see what a "producer and consumer of health" means? I will get to that in more detail next. Essentially, the doctor is the "producer", selling medical services. In relation to that production, the patient is moving beyond the position of the "consumer" to become an active "producer and consumer".
Patients obtain medical information instantly from the Internet, and they watch popular TV programs, such as "E.R." in the US, which deal with medical issues.
The Tofflers say that America, Japan and Europe are seeing "a dramatic rise in the proportion of producer-consumers, due to the combination of the aging of society, pressure of medical costs, and the diffusion of knowledge", and they add that we must "consider what could become the most important change, namely the technology of the future".

What I want to say is that Kangen Water (hydrogen radical water) will become the trump card to play against the aging of society and the rise of medical costs. At 66 years of age, I’m not worrying about my pension or thinking about retirement. And, I want to share this fit and vigorous life with as many people as I can.

"Reduction of Hydrogen in the Body Causes Aging"
　　– Professor Szent-Gyorgyi, Discoverer of Vitamin C　　　　（03/01/2007）

I will continue from my last article in quoting from Mr. Okumura's "The Water of Health Heals the Body", on how hydrogen is the ultimate antioxidant.

Hydrogen is the ultimate antioxidant, which is why hydrogen and electrons form pairs to move within the bodies of organisms. When a free radical encounters a cell that it is about to damage, hydrogen donates an electron to the free radical. The free radical is stabilized by gaining the electron and becomes a harmless substance, losing the ability to steal electrons from other atoms and molecules. The avalanche of chemical reactions is cut off and is oxidized no further. Hydrogen also has a vital role in a system that generates energy essential for life. When we take food into our bodies, the hydrogen contained in carbohydrates and fats is burned and the energy is stored in our cells, similar to like storage batteries. This energy becomes the energy for all our activities. In that sense, hydrogen is the basis of life. Professor Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, a Nobel prize winner who is famous as the discovery of Vitamin C, demonstrated that hydrogen has an essential role in the activity of human life. The professor’s research found that while hydrogen moves around the body, large amounts of energy are stored in all tissues of the body. If the hydrogen stored in the body diminishes, problems such as chronic fatigue, depression, hormone imbalance, and dyspepsia result. For example, if there is not enough hydrogen in tissue, that tissue loses flexibility and hardens. Therefore, tendons and muscles break more easily and bones become brittle. If the lungs lack hydrogen, they can become rigid and unable to expand, so they cannot take in enough oxygen. Lack of hydrogen also causes problems at the DNA level. DNA has a double helix structure, and it is the hydrogen bonds that link the atoms of the double helix. The DNA double helix is deeply linked to cell division. The more flexible the helices are, the more vigorously the cells repeat their divisions. As the stock of hydrogen increases with advancing age, DNA helices become more rigid and cell division halts. That is aging, and eventually death. Perhaps aging could also be described as the depletion of the hydrogen stored in the body. To put it another way, if hydrogen can be supplied to stimulate the hydrogen bonds in DNA and make the helices flexible, it might be possible to dramatically increase the regeneration of cells. It is thought that people who drink water containing large amounts of hydrogen radicals, such as Hunza water, supply hydrogen to all the cells of their bodies, rejuvenating their DNA. Professor Szent-Gyorgyi, who discovered that hydrogen is stored in the bodies of organisms, has made further fascinating observations. He says that the ranking among organs in the storage of hydrogen, from the highest to lowest, is liver, colon, kidneys, heart, lungs, spleen. Having more hydrogen means having a richer supply of electrons. In short, it is a strong antioxidant which renders free radicals harmless. Therefore, it is no coincidence that the liver, the organ responsible for neutralizing toxins, requires the greatest supply of antioxidants and is the organ containing the most hydrogen,. The organ with the second highest hydrogen content is the intestine, which is thought to be the place which generates the most free radicals. It is known that abnormal fermentation in the intestine is the source of an amazing 90% of free radicals. If that abnormal fermentation in the intestine could be stopped, the generation of free radicals would be reduced, allowing people’s health to recover”.

That was a long quote. I hope it served to explain why hydrogen is the ultimate antioxidant. When I was suffering from leukemia, I was somehow able to carry on my work as a Kumon instructor, with the help of organic foods and high-quality supplements.
However, my stool and flatulence became malodorous, I was physically weak, and it was tough to work for four hours a day. The odor went away after drinking the water for two weeks.
The improvement in abnormal fermentation in the intestine has been verified by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of the Japanese government. At that time, the water approved for efficacy by the Ministry appears to have been mixed with alkaline ion water, but it had strong reducing potential of -250mV.
In my next article, I will examine abnormal fermentation in the intestine a little more closely.

Active hydrogen was also the secret of Hnza water　　　　（02/15/2007）

Around the world, there are a number of regions of longevity where many people live healthy lives past one hundred years. The Kingdom of Hunza in Northern Pakistan is one of them. Scientists from around the world searched for the secret of the longevity of the Hunza people for over a century, looking at all aspects of the diet, topographical conditions, and other factors.

One of the scientists confidently sought the secret in water. He was Henry Coanda, General Secretary of the Rumanian Academy of Sciences.
He was a pioneer, who built the world's first jet engine and is known as "the father of fluid dynamics".
He was also immersed in research into the Hunza's water for over 60 years. Water accounts for 70% of the human body, and 90% of the brain, and he theorized that the secret for reversing the aging process could be found in water.

Coanda was sure that "water as a far greater impact on health than any nutrient" and "if we can unravel the secret of water such as that used by the Hunza, we will be able to extend life without limit", and he continued his research accordingly.

Coanda's passion inspired a true genius to dive into research into water. He was Professor Patrick Flanagan.
He was an inventor, who sold the patent for a "guided missile detector" to America at the age of 11 and went on to bring many inventions into the world, and he held M.D. and M.A degrees.

Professor Coanda died without reaching his goal, but Flanagan diligently carried on Coanda's research into water for 30 years, finally solving the riddle of the Hunzas' water. He discovered that Hunza water clusters (clusters resemble bunches of grapes) are basket-shaped, with a hydrogen atom held inside.

The Hunza are surrounded by the Himalayas, at altitudes around 3,000m, and their water melted from glaciers and soaked into the mountains before welling to the surface again. As the glaciers exist at high altitudes, they have been exposed to cosmic rays since ancient times. They have the potential to capture hydrogen protons, which are abundant in cosmic rays.
The amazing thing is that Hunza water does not just contain hydrogen gas or ions, but has basket-shaped clusters, which have actually captured active hydrogen.

Hydrogen atoms carry only one electron (electrons are always negative), as shown in the diagram, and they tend to donate that electron to other atoms or molecules. That makes them extremely reactive and electrically unstable, for which they are also called "active hydrogen".

The Hunza water contains large amounts of active hydrogen. That is a very rare phenomenon.
Linus Pauling is another scientist who pointed out that water has the ability to form such clusters. He was an American, famed for winning two Nobel prizes, for chemistry and peace. In his book "Hydrogen Bonds”, Pauling stated" that water can form basket-like clusters under certain conditions.

I am deeply, deeply grateful that the International Earth Environment University, of which Linus Pauling was one of the founders, awarded its environment prize to Enagic's electrolyzed water generators. I am also deeply moved by the way these two scientific geniuses dedicated 60 and 30 years to unlocking the secrets of water.
If I live another 35 years, and reach the age of 100, or at least remain active all my life, I want to dedicate that time to spreading Kangen Water and the Kumon Method.
My motto is "I can't push too hard, but I won't give up"!

Active Hydrogen is Revealed by the Genetic Engineering Field　　　　（02/01/2007）

The word “hydrogen” means “that from which water is formed”.

We know that H2O is formed from water bonding with hydrogen, that people die in minutes without oxygen, and that oxygen is consumed within the body, in the process of respiration, to generate energy.
We know that if you cut an apple and leave it for a while, the surface turns brown, and that paper clips submerged in tap water start to rust in two or three days.

Oxygen currently accounts for approximately 20% of the Earth’s energy atmosphere. Without oxygen, we die, so it is easy to assume that oxygen is good for the body, but looking back over the history of life demonstrates that to be a fallacy.

Around 4.6 billion years ago, there was almost no oxygen on the Earth. The universe is 90% hydrogen, so it is theorized that the first organisms used hydrogen.
However, organisms capable of photosynthesis appeared around 2.5 billion years ago, and began to spew out oxygen as a waste product from their creation of starch from water and CO2. They were the first plants.
Their oxygen output gradually accumulated in the atmosphere. Poisoned by that oxygen, many other organisms moved deep into the ground, or died out. It appears that only organisms able to absorb oxygen and gain strength from it could evolve.

We humans burn glucose in our bodies to gain energy, and the wastes are expelled from our bodies in waste gases, urine and sweat, and we breathe out CO2.
It has been known since the 1980s that when that happens, approximately 2% of the oxygen turns into free radicals.
We use the oxidation process to obtain energy, and our bodies are harmed by the free radicals that inevitably result from the process.

By now, the reasons why drinking hydrogen atoms = active hydrogen in large amounts leads to health and long life are well understood. It happens because hydrogen tends to donate electrons to other atoms.
That finding was first published by Professor Sanetaka Shirahata of Graduate School, Kyushu University. Let’s take a look at “The Water of health heals the Body” by Soshu Okumura, who carried on research into water in that process from the perspective of a mineral nutrition science.

There are “miracle waters” in the world that can cure diseases just by the sufferer drinking them. Famous examples include the spring at Lourdes in France, the water of Tlacote in Mexico, the water of Nordenau in Germany, and the Hita Tenryo water in Japan. Many scientific studies have been conducted to date, trying to discover the secrets of these “miracle waters”. Analysis of constituents generally shows that they have higher mineral content than ordinary waters. However, researchers have yet to find any decisive proof of why these waters are miraculously effective. Professor Sanetaka Shirahata of Faculty of Biomass and Environmental Research, Graduate School, Kyushu University analyzed these waters from the perspective of active hydrogen. Professor Shirahata visited Nordenau in 1996 and joined {Tsviniev Cardenic?} in a joint research project. They showed that the water contained large amounts of active hydrogen, and announced their findings at a symposium in Sweden in 2001. It has since become clear that active hydrogen is not abundant only in the water of Nordenau, but also in the Lourdes spring and the waters of Tlacote and Hita Tenryo. Of course, there were arguments against the theory that active hydrogen could exist in water, because it is destroyed as soon as it is generated. However, further progress in research that all of the “miracle waters” contained abundant minerals, and that the reactions of active hydrogen become stronger, depending on the concentrations of minerals in the water. What that means is that minerals existing in water have been revealed as the carriers of active hydrogen. I clearly remember seeing an experiment performed by Professor Shirahata for a report by a Japanese TV station in which paper clips placed in Tlacote water or Kangen Water did not corrode. “Clips corrode in tap water or bottled water, but are less prone to corrosion in Kangen Water. This is happening every day in the blood in our blood vessels. Cholesterol is a fat, and fats are easily oxidized”. I want as many people as possible to accept that fact.

In my next article, I will take a closer look at the Hunza water in northern Pakistan.

Kangen Water is the ultimate “cleaner-scavenger”　　　　（01/15/2007）
