Malic Acid: The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia connection One of its most significant benefits lies in its ability to stimulate metabolism and increase energy production. This action is linked to the important role it plays in a process known as the Krebs cycle – named after Sir Hans Krebs, a German-born British biochemist. Krebs […]

Why does Ionized Water seem to absorb so much better?
Over the years I have had thousands of people tell me that they love the way our water seems to ‘slip down’ or ‘not bloat’. When asked why I have resorted to what my supplier told me: that it’s the microclustering, making it ‘smaller’ water. So what do i say now that the microclustering theory […]
Ian’s latest Walkabout… er.. sitabout.. with Cassie
Today we are at AlkaWay talking about urine tests and pH balance… and why you may still have acidic urine even though you are drinking alkaline water from the UltraStream – or any other water ionizer. Urine pH is a multifaceted question and you can’t simply expect it to change just because you eat broccoli […]
You think YOU have water problems? Check this poor guy’s story!
Have been in my home 20 years, state water lab tests a few times over the years have shown no issues with well water. No problems with odors, taste, staining of laundry or appliances. 4″ drilled to depth of 57 feet, constructed in 1985. Last October we had all of the old copper pipes (60 yr old stuff) […]
Hand Wash Solution.. or Good old Soap?
We’ve been saying for a long-time that overusing antibacterial compounds (in soaps, hand sanitizers, and other consumer products) was a bad idea. Not only do they breed super-bacteria that can’t be killed as easily, do nothing against viruses, and kill helpful ‘nonpathogenic’ bacteria, but a 2005 FDA paper highlighted that it has found “no medical studies that […]
Juice: how much is enough?
I recently had a very interesting talk with a doctor friend. He had a patient he’s known for years call him up and tell him he had terrible gout. Dr Gerry asked him what he’d done differently, and he said he’s bought a juicer based on the amazing health benefits promised on a cable TV […]
Pesticides. We get asked about them in your water – often!
QUESTION: 1. Are pesticides a serious problem in our drinking waters? 2. Are there systems that can remove them? ANSWER: 1. Sometimes. 2. Yes. What are pesticides? The legal definition of ‘‘pesticide’’ is: (1) any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling or mitigating any pest; (2) any substance or mixture of substances […]
Alkalinity and Cancer; Hoisted on its own petard?
When you get too into one way of thinking, you often lose sight of the whole picture. Alkaline philosophy has been pushed hard as a simple and comprehensive alternative cancer therapy.. all under the radar, of course. So this report really throws the cat among the pigeons. Or, to butcher another metaphor, the alkaline protagonists […]
Bluegreen Algae Anyone?
The Water Quality Association (WQA) released an official statement on cyanotoxins, such as microcystin, which was recently detected in Toledo, Ohio’s public water supply, according to a press release. Cyanobacteria, certain varieties of freshwater algae, could be present in surface water, such as lakes and rivers, stated the release. With the right conditions, cyanobacteria, sometimes referred to […]
All about BACTERIA in Your Water
Both bacteria and viruses are microorganisms regulated by the US EPA’s Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) criteria. Viruses are the smallest form of microorganisms capable of causing disease, particularly those of a fecal origin infectious to humans by waterborne transmission; bacteria are typically single-celled microorganisms that can also cause health problems in humans, animals or plants, […]
Adventitious Cucumbers?
Hydrogen-rich water regulates cucumber adventitious root development Abstract Hydrogen gas (H2) is an endogenous gaseous molecule in plants. Although its reputation is as a “biologically inert gas”, recent results suggested that H2has therapeutic antioxidant properties in animals and plays fundamental roles in plant responses to environmental stresses. However, whether H2 regulates root morphological patterns is largely […]
Does Molecular Hydrogen ‘fix’ you if you’ve been loaded up with pesticides?
CPF is a common pesticide. Here are the findings (below) from this report. Hydrogen molecules protect rats from CPF-induced damage of hippocampal neurons. The increased GFAP expression induced by CPF can also be ameliorated by hydrogen. Hydrogen molecules attenuated the increase in CPF-induced oxidative stress. Hydrogen molecules attenuated AChE inhibition in vivo and in vitro. Hydrogen molecules […]
