Hi Jonathon,

I ran across similar accounts when I researched ionized water a couple of years ago.

I have used all types of water purification devices in the past but now prefer my ionizer. My only real complaint is that it doesn't remove as much flouride as I'd like.

I realize that the debates regarding distilled or reverse osmosis water vs. ionized water will probably never end. That's o.k. I don't mean to start an off-topic war here on the list with my remarks.

There is probably never any universal "best" way to treat water but I have settled, at least for now, with ionized water for reasons of unbeatable taste (in my opinion), the benefits of mineralized water made to order, along with acidic water when needed. By using the finest prefilter available for the unit it also serves as a reasonably good purifier.

Peter

Tokyo Broadcasting System ran a series about alakaline/acid water machines some years ago. A man who was to lose his foot due to diabetic gangrene saved his foot in hospital by soaking it in acid water (which alkaline water machines make as runoff, or by selecting the acid setting.)

The acidic water healed his foot. He also had to drink three liters of alkaline water per day. This partially reversed the diabetes to the extent that he greatly cut back on insulin use. The Isle of Langeurs (sp?) that produces insulin also recovered and started production again, according to the MDs at the hospital.

This may tie in with someone's recent claim that gastric bypass surgery reverses diabetes. I know nothing about that, but alkaline water might have some bearing on gastric acid effects on insulin production. Just speculation, but interesting.

I concur with the observation that commercial alkaline water output has a superb taste. It makes wonderful tea, too.

The same machine has worked well for me for more than 10 years -- worth every penny of the purchase. It's a shame they aren't widely sold outside Japan. Mass production brings the price down to reasonable levels.

Some say that ionized water has restructured molecules I think. I'm no chemist and can't refute or confirm that statement but I will say that it's the only water which I have ever received die-off from drinking (Herxheimer effect). That being said, it hasn't "cured" me of anything, that's for sure! (except for fat wallet syndrome)
