Hydrogen Water & Ionized Water Research

Hydrogen Water & Ionized Water Found to Heal Diseases

There are hundreds and thousands of articles and reviews about hydrogen water and ionized water. Ionized hydrogen water even helps chronic diseases. The scientific research articles, below, speak for themselves.

Ionized water is the most popular form of hydrogen water. Healthy adults stay healthy and children, pets and livestock benefit too.

In a water ionizer you infuse water with free paired molecules of hydrogen. The antioxidant activity of molecular hydrogen (H2) reduces inflammation and oxidative stress. So, drinking ionized water or hydrogen water is anti-inflammatory. It also is a terrific way to fight free radical damage before it happens.

Hydrogen water research shows the healing benefits of ionized water and molecular hydrogen (H2). When in a free state, hydrogen is healing to the body, as it attacks free-radicals & neutralizes them. The benefits of hydrogen water are real. Hydrogen rich water reduces oxidative stress as the studies show, see articles below, .

The aging process naturally improves with fewer numbers of diseases and conditions. Look below to see dozens upon dozens of medical studies on molecular hydrogen.

Plain water contains no hydrogen gas, so fewer health benefits of H2 are in regular water.

Hydrogen rich water both protects and heals various organs in every part of the body. [See the over 100 peer-reviewed articles, categorized by organ, below.]

The best way to consume free-hydrogen is in water.

Some people prefer to inhale the hydrogen, but I much prefer drinking hydrogen-water. Also, the studies show more benefits to the body than inhaling hydrogen-gas.

As a gas H2 evaporates quickly and leaves the body in several hours. Whereas with hydrogen water the antioxidant H2 fights free radicals for days. Both methods are effective and therapeutic.

The water ionizer produces the most widely used form of hydrogen water. It splits the water in two streams, alkaline and acidic. In this process hydrogen gas infuses into the alkaline water. This kind of alkaline water is so is therapeutic that it has awed scientists for over a decade.

Hydrogen Water Benefits vs. Regular Water

Don't confuse regular water with hydrogen rich water. Plain water contains hydrogen of course, H2O, but the hydrogen in regular water is not able to fight free-radicals.

See for yourself by following the links - the enormous and growing proof that alkaline ionized hydrogen infused water can significantly help the body.

I have personally experienced the benefits of hydrogen water thousands of times over. See my testimonial.

H2 Can Scavenge Free Radicals Anywhere in the Body

Molecular Hydrogen can penetrate through cell membranes (even the blood-brain barrier) and scavenge free radicals. This is why every time I drink ionized water or hydrogen water I almost instantly feel increased brain clarity.

Hydrogen's tiny size and lipid solubility makes it able to penetrate cells and even heal the DNA. Other antioxidants can't get this far into the body to heal it.

Another thing about hydrogen that is notable is how easily it evaporates. There is no residual toxic effect from drinking or inhaling it.

Hydrogen at the Root of Life

School children know that the combination of H2 and Oxygen makes water, which is at the source of all life. Oxygen also brings life, but unfortunately too much oxidation within the body upsets balance of hydrogen.

Molecular biologists call this Oxidative Stress, and think it's at the root of almost all disease.

Oxygen can actually become a dangerous free radical within the body when it has lost its electron balance. Biologists call this Active Oxygen. All it takes is a tiny little bit of molecular hydrogen to neutralize it.

How Do You Get Hydrogen Water?

There are two main ways to get hydrogen water:

My personal preference is the water ionizer, because a water ionizer also produces a high ph water. However I also use a hydrogen water machine frequently.

IONIZED WATER USED TO CURE ATOPIC DERMATITIS: HOSPITAL REPT.

Japanese study shows ionized water cured an Atopic Dermatitis patient. Atopic dermatitis is an illness accompanied by intense itching. Its cause is unknown. It is normally an incurable-illness.

This report is from Akashi Hospital in Tokyo, Japan. It shows how Dr. Shinkai has cured thousands of patients with atopic dermatitis using both alkaline and acidic ionized water.

IONIZED WATER & PREGNANCY

Ionized water studied extensively with gestating women. Dr. Wantanabe (the top gynecologist in Japan) says both the mother and the baby benefit by drinking ionized water during pregnancy.

QUOTE FROM TOP GEINECOLOGIST IN JAPAN, PROF. WATANABE IFAO, WATANABE HOSPITAL

"The main reason for its effectiveness is that this water can neutralize toxins. When given antioxidant water to pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, the results are most significant. During my long years of servicing the pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, I found that the women with pre-eclamptic toxemia who consumed antioxidant water tend to deliver healthier babies with stronger muscles. A survey report carried out on babies in this group showed intelligence above average."

CONTROLLED EXPERIMENTS STARTED IN JAPAN

The ionized water used in many experiments ionized water from a water ionizer or something like an alkaline pitcher

MICE EXPERIMENTS:

These experiments with mice show the positive effects found by water ionizer research in Japan and Korea. The video shows impressive results using ionized water with diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure and obesity in mice and rats.

CHICKEN EXPERIMENTS:

Alkaline ionized water has made significant improvements in the overall health and immune systems of chickens.

BENEFITS OF MOLECULAR HYDROGEN (12-MINUTE VIDEO)

How Molecular Hydrogen Helps to Heal & Prevent Diseases:

Molecular hydrogen lowers oxidative stress. Oxidative stress and inflammation are two of the worst mechanisms for destroying human health.
Molecular hydrogen alleviates inflammation, which is the underlying cause to many diseases.
Molecular hydrogen brings the body into balance.
Some animal research shows that molecular hydrogen actually has the potential to prevent oxidative stress related injuries or diseases from occurring.
Molecular hydrogen protects the mitochondria.
Molecular hydrogen has no known disadvantages to health or warnings.
It permeates every membrane in your body.
When not needed, it simply evaporates.

Who Can Consume Molecular Hydrogen?

Anybody can have it: a pregnant mother, a child, a baby, the elderly, everybody. It even positively affects the unborn child.
