Why Real Water is Dangerous
Real Water is a bottled water brand that claims alkalinized and ionized. It's entirely unrelated to ionized water, yet medical journalists seem to have latched onto it to discount the benefits of authentic ionized water anyway. Watch out for people who generalize and try to discount natural healing products because of one product's faults.
Real Water is or was the furthest from natural and real that water can get. It was stripped of all the real and natural healthy minerals before being put in the company's alkaline (toxic rocket fuel) version.
I was onto Real Water years ago, when I examined many bottled water brands. It claimed to be alkalinized and ionized, but that was a false labeling of their product.
The lesson here, and I've said it many times, is to watch out for all bottled water. Even if its label states it's alkaline, ionized, or pristine spring water, it will never be good to drink because it's bottled.
Here are two pages debunking bottled water: 1) The Importance of Energy Levels of Water, and 2) Analyzing and Comparing Brands of Bottled Water.
Do not discount that our bodies are energy-based; we need water from a flowing (not stagnant) source to give them what they need.
The Benefits of Hard Water (Not Soft Water) for the Liver, Heart and Other Organs
One critical mistake the Real Water company made in processing its bottled water (other than adding rocket fuel to it) was stripping the water of all its natural, healthy minerals.
Hard water is healthier than soft water. Water has an empowering role in body health but choose the right kind.
Many people have been fooled by the idea that pure water is healthier than water with healthy minerals. So, they try to strip it of all its minerals. However, many studies show that hard water is healthier than soft water.
- A study of the right kind of water to heal liver disease found that water hardness was excellent and soft water was terrible. "Soft water was associated with a significant fivefold increase in the odds of hospital admission for alcoholic liver disease compared with hard water at 121% versus 87% of the national rate."
- Hard water positively influences cardiovascular, Liver, and general body health. Here are a couple of reports about it: 1) Daily Mail, in the UK 2) European Journal of Epidemiology
The Potential Role of Ionized Water in Health
Real Water claimed to be alkalinized and ionized, but it was far from it. Actual ionized water is not found in bottles. Ionized water has been the subject of many trials with both animals and humans in clinics/hospitals for over 40 years. In Asia, I hear that every other household has some kind of water ionizer. In the US, we think we know it all when it comes to healthcare, but we rank far lower than the countries that have a greater respect for natural and practical health habits.
My research page contains many studies showing the benefits of ionized water for the Liver and every organ in the body.
Specifically (because we're talking about the Liver), some compelling studies suggest that ionized water (electrolyzed alkaline water) and hydrogen water are helpful for liver regeneration and the prevention of liver disease. However, scientific researchers have tested many other organs, showing how well-ionized water benefits them.
- A human trial study shows that hydrogen water alleviates liver injury due to chemotherapy.
- A 2018 study on mice shows or suggests that alkaline ionized water or hydrogen water may help reduce nonalcoholic liver disease. Using ionized water in their experiments, they found that "H2 has a surprisingly positive impact in preventing NAFLD (Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease)." [Note: H2 is a key agent in ionized water (electrolyzed alkaline water) and hydrogen water. They isolated that it's the H2 that is specifically responsible for the liver healing in the mice.
- This human study shows that drinking hydrogen-rich water reduces the stress markers connected with radiation therapy.
- This human study shows that hydrogen-rich water helps alleviate oxidative stress in patients with chronic Hepatitis B.
- Animal studies show that alkaline ionized water assists the intestinal environment and has beneficial health effects on cholesterol metabolism and liver protection.
Pivotal Role of Actual Ionized Water
Ionized water has played a pivotal role in my life and in the lives of so many others.
Drinking ionized water is on the lines of what kind of air I want to breathe or the environment I want to live in for the happiest and healthiest life.
I look at drinking the proper water the same way I look at breathing good fresh air: It's not a cure for anything in particular, but it's what the body needs to begin with.
Giving the body what it needs for life is the best way to prevent illness, either by being too healthy to become ill in the first place or by being so normally healthy that any illness sticks out like a sore thumb and so can be tackled head-on.
