Water is Crucial for All Bodily Functions

Biochemical changes in human cells can only take place with water, to facilitate growth, and to maintain life and health. Water serves to enhance blood circulation, regulate body temperature as well as aid in the carrying of oxygen to body cells. In addition, water also maintains the acid/alkaline balance. This balance is essential for the optimum digestion and absorption of nutrients. Another vital function of water is in the area of cleansing.

Water is Necessary for Flushing Toxic & Wastes from the Body

Today we have pesticides and herbicides in our fruits and vegetables; heavy metals in our fish; antibiotics and growth hormones in our meat products; and additives, preservatives and artificial colorings in our processed foods and drinks. Many degenerative diseases have been attributed to the chemicals and carcinogens found in our water, air and food. These toxins if retained in the body can give rise to problems such as headaches, fatigue, pain, chronic illness and even cancer. Water is the best defense against toxicity in the body because it flushes out poisonous waste, but you have to drink pure, healthy water, or it will only add to the problem.

Water Prevents Dehydration

The average newborn is 90% hydrated, but the average 65-year-old is only 55% hydrated! All of the symptoms of aging are accompanied by a slow dehydration of cells. The first signs of dehydration are headaches, insomnia, fatigue, and lack of mental alertness.

Many doctors now believe that dehydration is the root cause of all kinds of ailments, from acne and indigestion, to arthritis and obesity, to more serious conditions such as heart problems, hypertension and even cancer.

The link between dehydration, degeneration, and disease has led researchers to do in-depth studies of the functions and properties of water.

We Need to Drink about 2.6 liters of Water Every Day

Our bodies are at least 60% - 70% water. Water is involved in almost bodily function. Water requirements vary greatly from person to person. On the average, we need to drink about 2.6 liters of water daily to allow optimal body functioning. You could live for weeks without food, but without water you would dehydrate and die within days. A mere 2% loss of the water surrounding your cells can cause a 20% decrease in your energy levels.

Is the Water You're Drinking Dead or Alive?

Not all water hydrates cells and supports life functions equally. Living water can easily penetrate the cells and perform all of its functions. Dead water, on the other hand, must be reformed and revitalized by the body before it can do its job. Doctors and researchers have determined that drinking living water improves health and longevity but drinking dead water allows cells to dehydrate.

Most of Us Drink Dead Water

Almost everything that man has done to water has destroyed or degraded it. We have contaminated nearly every natural water supply on earth with pollution, toxic waste and hundreds of thousands of chemicals.

There are over 120,000 types of chemicals in use today, with another 1,000 new ones added each year. All of these chemicals find their way into our water sources.

It is Clean, Pure, and Anti-Pathogenic

Fresh unpolluted natural water is healthy, self-cleansing, and resistant to disease-causing microbes. The precise reason for this is not yet known, but research at the Adolfo Lutz Institute in Sao Paulo, Brazil shows that living water inhibits the proliferation of many types of microbes.

Tap Water

Water treatment plants use basic filtration and chlorine to remove microbes and contaminants from our polluted water. This process makes the water “safe”, because it kills most germs and bacteria, but it also destroys water’s life-giving properties.

Chlorine is not good for water because it has a strong ionic pull that easily distorts water’s healthful crystalline structure. It isn’t good for the body either. Chlorine has been associated with heart problems, cancer, and arteriosclerosis. Boiling water does not get rid of chlorine--it changes it into a carcinogen called trihalomethane. Another problem is that tap water tends to have an erratic pH (as low as 5.5 or as high as 10) which disturbs the body’s natural acid/alkaline balance of pH 7.35.

Keeping water in stagnant storage tanks and forcing it to travel through miles of pipes strip water of its natural energy and oxygen, disrupting the hexagonal clusters. By the time tap water reaches you, it is usually devoid of any healthful properties.

Filtered Water

Many filters remove chlorine and heavy metals, but most still allow certain contaminants to pass through. Parasites like Cryptosporidium and Giardia are not killed by chlorine or UV light and may easily pass through simple carbon filters. Radioactive and volatile chemicals are also very hard to remove.

Distilled Water

Distillation devices do a better job of getting rid of harmful substances than simple filters do, but they take everything else out of the water too -- including beneficial minerals that are necessary for health and longevity.

Bottled Water

Most bottled water is tap water that has been processed through a reverse osmosis or carbon filtration system. Some companies add minerals and in some (but not all) countries, if the label says “spring water” it might have actually come from a natural spring…but in all of these cases, the water is still processed and artificially contained for long periods of time.
