Granite counters create instant impact in a kitchen or bathroom. The solid stone looks and feels expensive. If you are installing your own granite counter, and if you are using an undermount sink, you will need to drill the faucet holes in the granite counter prior to installing the faucet. Typically, the style of faucet […]

Too expensive?
My business Guru, Seth Godin, talked today about value of things. He used this example: ” A $400 bottle of water is too expensive to just about everyone, even to people with more than $500 in the bank. They have the cash, but they sure don’t want to spend it, not on something they think […]
Lemons: 6 ways to make yourself more beautiful.
Margaret Bador writes for TreeHugger about the amazing lemon. It’s my second fave fruit. First? Lime! “Just like cooking meals at home, the best way to know what’s in our beauty products is to make them ourselves. Lemons have a number of properties that make them a great ingredient in many organic beauty recipes. Also, […]
China Air Disaster: coming to a land near YOU
The Chinese Premier showed his ‘solidarity’ with the people by walking outside to demonstrate that he cares about air quality. The tragedy of this ‘air disaster’, with readings often hundreds of times higher than safe levels, is that it’s not just ‘smoke’. It’s highly toxic and laden with all the stuff China has preferred […]
Prostate Cancer; Did you get it from your baby food?
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men in the United States. According to the National Cancer Institute, 15 percent of U.S. men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their lives. A new study published in January 2014 attempts to pinpoint why these numbers are so high and they have […]
Magnesium in Water and Hip Fracture: more evidence comes in.
We spent quite some time last year summarizing over 100 scientific studies on the effects of hard water on health around the world, including hip fractures. The results were quite unequivocal and we have actually published our own findings here. Apart from the obvious conclusion that hard (alkaline) water is good for us, there was also […]
Do you REALLY want to heal?
This morning Cassie and I were discussing people (ourselves) and their apparent reluctance to accept healing. It came about because in the last week two of our staff have come down with what they identified as food poisoning. One was our son, Neil, who must’ve been feeling very bad because he woke us up in […]
Orange Juice vs. AlkaWay Water
Back at school, I was a coke freak. Coca Cola that is. Then I ‘got smart’ and began to care about my health so I went for the next dominant paradigm; orange juice. Now I drink water; alkaline hydrogen infused water. So what’s so bad about orange juice? Well, according to this article from the […]
Another unsourced ‘Safety Warning’ on alkaline water
This article was brought to my attention by a client who has been happily drinking our water for many years. She asked for my comments. I’ll add them below. I’m also going to colour red the phrases that actually have no purpose but to reinforce the point. It’s an ANTI alkaline water article and one reader […]
Alzheimers and Diet
New evidence shows that sugar, a highly processed diet and nitrates in food and fertilizers may be the cause of our Alzheimer’s epidemic. Every 68 seconds, another person in the US develops Alzheimer’s disease, making it the sixth leading cause of death and one of the fastest-growing illnesses in the West (affecting 5.4 million American adults, and 26 million worldwide). Governments in the US and UK are so […]
Chlorine – chemical additives in water
When it comes to chemical additives in water one of the biggest things that keeps me skeptical of the way it is done is the fact that it is done without our consent. We have no choice. I believe that if it was in our best interest then we would at least have a choice […]
Athletic Performance. How much do you need to win?
Would you drink water to win a race? It appears a good guzzle of UltraStream water may give you extra yards at the finish line. “In the current study we tested the hypothesis that an acute (7 days) intake of an alkaline negative oxidative reduction potential formulation (NORP) drink would reduce the rate of blood […]
