Abstracts Of Magnetized Water

Galitzer, M. and Reminick, H. "A Study on the Efficacy of a Naturally Magnetized Water on Improving Kidney Function and Cell Stability", Explore! for the Professional, Prescott, AZ, Vol 10:4, 2001.

Introduction: Among the many functions demanded of water in sustaining the health and stability of a living organism is its role as a solvent, catalyst and transporter. For water to be effective in the body it must be able to hydrate and nourish cells and remove toxins. It must contain properties which react to the body's magnetic field. Water which is naturally formed with magnetic properties and free of any contamination will provide the body with the best opportunity to remain balanced and age more slowly.

This study looked at the efficacy of a naturally magnetized mineral water in detoxifying tissues by removing acidity and wastes which cause the body to deteriorate and speed aging. Health deteriorates as tissues become more acidic. Lowering of urine pH reflects removing acidity, stabilizing blood pH. Decreased Resistivity reflects increased conductivity, greater ability of kidneys to remove excessive mineral salts. Several studies have been conducted with this water with positive results being reported.

Method: A sample of 50 patients with a variety of chronic, degenerative diseases were randomly selected from a medical practice; 25 as experimental subjects who were given a daily regimen of 16 ounces of naturally magnetized water, and 25 as control subjects who were given common bottled water. After unmarked bottles were dispensed to all subjects, there was no follow-up discussion on study.

Subjects were tested on the BTA (Bio-Terrain Assessment), an instrument that measures samples of urine pH, and Resistivity (ability of kidneys to remove excess mineral salts). Pre testing was done prior to study. The study covered a 90 day period. Post testing was conducted at conclusion of study. All subjects continued their normal routine and treatment.

Results: Mean urine pH for Experimental Group (Pre and Post) improved from 6.54 to 5.86. Urine pH in Control Group actually increased, from 6.86 to 7.02. Significant post score difference between groups, Experimental Group was 5.86, compared to Control Group's 7.02. Significant difference in Resistivity reduction also reported with Experimental Group Mean Score of 77.32 to Control Group Mean Score of 137.36.

Conclusion: Sixteen ounces of the naturally magnetized water used as experimental treatment over a 90 day period showed significant improvement in cell detoxification over subjects who drank unmagnetized bottled water, which suggests that regular consumption of this water can increase the kidney's ability to detoxify tissues.

Alzheimers: Memory Loss Delay

Ohno, Y. "Effects of Magnetized Water on Memory Loss Delay in Alzheimer's Disease", Frontier Perspectives, Center for Frontier Sciences, Temple University, Vol 6(2), Spring/Summer, 1997.

Introduction: Previous studies and experimentation with magnetized water in Russia, China and U.S. have reported improvement in persons with aging-related diseases. Physicians in Japan have been treating chronic illnesses with magnetized water for years and have reported positive results. The author has conducted numerous studies with a magnetized water from Japan with his patients and has reported positive results. Progression of memory loss associated with Alzheimer's may be due to toxicity of medications accumulated in cells, loss of nutrients necessary for neurotransmission, and contaminants found in drinking water, and may be delayed with a daily regimen of magnetized water.

Objective: To test the effectiveness of magnetized water over standard drinking water in delaying memory loss associated with the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Methods: A Double-Blind study design. Ten subjects with probable AD were administered 4 repeated trials of the Combined Blessed-Folstein Test for cognitive functioning (memory) over a 20 week period. Experimental group given 480cc of magnetized water daily and Control group 480cc of standard drinking water.

Results: 4 Experimental group subjects demonstrated significantly less decline in memory functioning compared to 5 Control group subjects over a 20 week period. One subject in Control group was enrolled and completed study, but found to have been misdiagnosed ( did not have dementia). Subject's scores were removed from data analysis, although subject is represented on top line graph (Figure 1).

Conclusion: Although a pilot study with small N(9), significance difference was reported between groups, which merits repeated studies with larger N over a longer period. Further studies can provide new information as to etiology and treatment of AD, as well as offer support for alternatives to drugs and their detrimental side effects, which can influence progression of symptoms. In addition, if theories of contaminants in our drinking water supply can lead to neuro-cellular damage, then magnetic water may prove to be a valuable modality in controlling AD progression.

Bacteria in Intestinal Flora

A STUDY ON EFFECT OF NATURALLY MAGNETIZED WATER ON THE STABILITY OF BACTERIA IN INTESTINAL FLORA

Ohno, Y. and Reminick, H. "A Study on Effect of Naturally Magnetized Water on the Stability of Bacteria in Intestinal Flora: Implications for Health and Anti-Aging", Explore! for the Professional, Prescott, AZ, Vol 10:3, 2001.

Introduction: Conventional medicine is still driven by Pasteur's Germ Theory, which he recanted before his death. Pasteur based his theory of disease on what he discovered in how fermentation takes place, which he believed was the result of the effect of bacteria on yeast and could not take place outside of living cells. However, von Liebig discovered what was to become the Chemical Theory, that fermentation was caused not by bacteria, per se, but by changes in the molecular structure of bacteria. This opened the door for studying how bacteria works in the intestinal flora of the body, and how bacteria can either produce fermentation, which keeps bacteria healthy and stable, or putrefaction, which produces destructive bacteria. Bacteria in the body is responsible for critical bodily functions and, therefore, must not be destroyed. The free use of antibiotics over the past 40 years has been attributed to the destruction of essential bacteria in the body and a rise in chronic, degenerative diseases.

Discussion: The difference between fermentation and putrefaction is the difference in electron oxidation/reduction, similar to free radical formation, which is widely accepted as a leading cause of disease and aging. In fermentation, electrons are in stable pairs around each bacterium cell. In putrefaction, an electron is missing, thus creating instability, turning bacteria into an aggressor. Putrefaction can be reversed by supplying electrons to stabilize the structure of bacteria. Thus, theoretically, disease can also be reversed. Increase in incidence of chronic, degenerative diseases suggests that anti-biotics have destroyed, not only disease-producing bacteria, but massive amounts of bacteria necessary to maintain homeostasis. This leads to decreased immune functioning and has allowed bacteria to build resistance to antibiotics, creating an unstable internal environment.

Implications for Health and Anti-Aging: Studies conducted by the Ohno Institute with medical patients have reported changes in urine pH and Resistivity(electric conduction required to remove excess mineral wastes in cells), as measured by Biological Terrain Assessment. These changes have occurred in subjects whose only difference in treatment was a daily regimen of naturally magnetized water from Japan. Because of its magnetic properties, this water is capable of replacing lost electrons, providing reduction and, thus, stability to bacteria cells. Because of its strong negative polarity, it can also attract and flush out disease-causing bacteria cells which accumulate in the intestinal tract. When bacteria are stabilized, they can work to keep the body balanced by creating a good fermentation process in intestinal flora.

Bioenergy and Function

Morgan, V. and Reminick, H. "EFFECTS OF NATURALLY MAGNETIZED WATER ON INCREASING ORGANIC BIOENERGY AND FUNCTION", Explore! for the Professional, Prescott, AZ, Vol 10:4, 2001.

INTRODUCTION: Biological Healing observes a person as a whole. If one part of the body is out of balance, this will affect other parts. Symptoms are always seen as an expression of a deeper, more inclusive disturbance of the body as a whole, and are manifested as the body's attempt to react to the disease and heal itself, therefore, should not be suppressed. Suppression causes a disease to be driven to a deeper level. Practitioners of biological healing look for the cause of the disease and provide the body a mechanism to heal itself.

The first step in biological healing is to find the blockages that prevent the body from healing itself, such as scars, root canals, infection in tonsils or sinuses and heavy metal toxicity. The second step is detoxification in combination with immune system stimulation. Once balance is restored, symptoms are eliminated.

Unraveling the mystery of disease begins with knowing what our body needs throughout its life to maintain health and vitality. Premature aging and disease can result from loss of water volume, decreasing intracellular hydration. Another factor is toxicity in cells, caused by contaminated water in the body. Water, which makes up over 70% of body weight is the most influential and vital component which provides the body with the ability to maintain health and prevent deterioration. This can only happen if the quality, content, structure and properties of the water in the body meets the body's requirements for homeostasis.

Since the beginning of time, water has been critical to survival. Also from the very beginning, the electromagnetic field has influenced how our body functions and maintains its balance. Energy is produced through the magnetic force in the body. Magnetism activates the electrons surrounding the cells, and stabilizes electrons in pairs to maintain normal structure and function of cells. Water, which is naturally magnetized, has been found to be effective in this process. Also, naturally magnetized water can detoxify and hydrate cells better than other water sources.

METHOD: The Experimental treatment, naturally magnetized water, was applied to N=9. Subjects represented a variety of ages and sex, and included a variety of serious medical conditions, seeking Biological Healing with Primary Study Investigator, after experiencing no improvement with conventional medical treatment. Regimen consisted of one, 16 ounce bottle of naturally magnetized water per day for two months. Subjects were tested with EAV(Electro Acupuncture according to Voll), and Dark Field Microscopy of blood samples, which were video taped. The tests were used to report if an increase in organ/meridian bio-energy occurred, as well as changes in blood cells, after given experimental treatment for two months. Subjects were their own controls and were tested for reported changes (post test scores), compared to pre test measurements.

Subjects reported decrease in symptoms of health problems, which were identified before beginning a trial period. This was verified by medical tests, which were conducted by their personal physician. Since this was reported as anecdotal data, it was decided that this study could provide evidence that could warrant a larger, controlled study.

RESULTS: For the purpose of reporting data collected in this study, the Mean of each of the 28 Measurements for each Subject (N=9), was reported and compared. A score of 50 on each of the Right and Left Hemisphere measurements indicates particular Organ or Meridian is Balanced. A reading below 50 indicates energy deficiency. A Reading above 50 indicates excess energy. The more a score deviates + or - from 50, the more an imbalance or deficiency is indicated.

Each Subject's Pre-test total score on all 28 EAV measurements was compared to the Post-test measurements to determine if improvement was achieved. The average percent of improvement in bio-energy (difference in pre and post EAV measurements) for each of the nine Subjects was 16% (Right Hemisphere), and 14% (Left Hemisphere). Video tapes of blood samples of subjects, using Dark Field microscopy, pre and post study, displayed significant changes in cell structure, formation, movement and blood viscosity.

CONCLUSIONS: Data collected on changes in Bioenergy and Organic Function indicated improvement on all 28 measurements of the nine study subjects over a two-month period. Anecdotal reports from subjects suggested that general health improved, with more energy than previous to study. Video tape of each Subject's blood samples with Dark Field Microscopy provided a visual display of positive changes in blood cells before and after study. Although this study used different methodology to provide supportive evidence, this is in support of previous studies by the Ohno Institute on the effects of naturally magnetized water on improvement of organ function and general health.

The following are actual before and after microphotos of persons in a study with Nariwa water. The first photo shows an unhealthy cell structure, taken before Nariwa treatment. The second photo shows how the cell structure of each person changed to a healthy pattern after Nariwa, suggesting that drinking Nariwa had a startling, healthy effect.

BioMagnetic Hydrology

BioMagnetic Hydrology: The Interactive Effect Of Two Forces Of Natural Energy - Water And Magnetism 

In the current era of rapid scientific progress, many concepts which were once "scientific truths" as recently as 20 years ago are no longer tenable. But of all the discoveries, none is more important than the theory of the human energy field. In a very short time, scientists have revisited their thinking from denial of the existence of energy fields to absolute certainty that they exist. This revelation has worked its way into scientific investigation in bio-medical research. As a result, medical interest has begun to focus on the magnetic fields around the body, referred to as bio-magnetic fields. This is beginning to be understood as perhaps the main catalyst of human energy.

How did I become interested in Energy Medicine? When did I learn that only with gratitude for the gifts of Nature and Natural Energy can our mind, body and spirit be one and receptive to these gifts? My years of training and practice as a physician in Japan led me to seek a better way of providing health care with a more humanitarian approach. Forced by the system to use cruel treatments that provided revenue rather than healing, I became disillusioned as I watched patient after patient suffer needlessly, many begging for death, rather than continue to live with pain and without dignity.

A field of study which has led me to investigating the forces of Natural Energy is Bio-Magnetic Hydrology. I coined this term to explain the interactive effect of magnetism and water in the body, and how these natural energy forms provide for a stable, internal environment. I have found these two areas promising and worthy of exploring. As I explored these forces of Nature and dug deep into the mystery of Natural Energy, I became aware of how water behaves in the body and its role in maintaining a healthy, internal environment. This becomes manifested in the extra cellular matrix( the area of the internal environment surrounding the cells) and the importance of water's osmolarity and magnetic influence. These distinct, yet inseparable entities may prove significant in providing answers to the mystery of energy, especially as it applies to the human body.

Bio-magnetism has been studied in many different sciences, such as electro-biology and neurophysiology. However, the relationship of bio-magnetism to the human energy field is just gaining attention by more open and enlightened scientists. Going beyond the world of ions, they are focusing on micro bio-magnetism, which includes studying smaller entities than ions, mainly electrons, protons and electron voids. This has provided impetus to uncover the root of natural energy and a scientific basis for understanding the disease process. (Oschman, 2000)

NATURAL ENERGY

In respect to human energy, the human effort in the conquest of the forces of Nature is really futile. Nature is never really conquered; yet we can only be triumphant when we realize this basic law, and learn to direct and control the more important forces within us. All forms of energy are provided and circulated by Nature, given freely as gifts. Two of its most significant gifts, which have an impact on health and longevity are water and magnetism, energy sources in the purest form.

Albert Einstein spent the last part of his life in search of a "common denominator" behind forms of energy. The forces found in the living body which generate its energy correspond with those which govern the inanimate world and the theory of "vital force', which, unfortunately, has been rejected by mechanistic, scientific thinking. The "Cell Theory" professed the conception that the activities of an organism are the sum of the activities of its component cells, which were regarded as the most elementary form of organized substances incapable of further reduction other than by mechanical or chemical means. This theory is only feasible if Einstein's theories of quantum physics are rejected. (Oschman, 2000)

Regarding energy at the most fundamental level, we still do not know exactly what electricity and magnetism are. With new thinking on old theories, the time has arrived when the activities of living cells will find explanation on a physio-chemical basis, generated by the natural forces of energy. Whether the issue investigated pertains to a human or bacteria, we are dealing with a mass of vibrating atoms which in their varied combinations are the basic constituents of all that exists.

We all need both internal and external sources of magnetism for survival. Internally, the body makes mineral crystals of magnetite that can be magnetized. These ferromagnetic (highly capable of being magnetized)elements of iron, manganese and cobalt are found in the pineal gland and in neurons. These structures are actually permanent static field magnets that generate magnetic fields. Individual cells have magnetic fields centered in the DNA, produced by the biochemical processing of nutrients, water and oxygen, an element highly capable of being magnetized (Philpott), 2000). The content and structure of the water in the body can be the difference in how the body assimilates elements necessary for optimal use of magnetization. Water which is naturally magnetized in a magnetic environment is superior to any other water source, even water that has been artificially magnetized by a device.

Magnetism is energy, created by the movement of electrons, which spin counterclockwise. The electron is a basic unit of the atom and has properties such as mass, charge and gravity. But a rational, scientific explanation of these properties related to energy is not yet available. The electron theory which most corresponds with modern scientific investigation concerning the physical basis of the material universe conceives matter to be made up of molecules, composed of atoms, which consist of electrons. These atoms of matter are individualized masses of positive electricity diffused uniformly over the area of an atom. Throughout the mass are hundreds of minute particles of negative electricity, aggressively moving about, each repelling every other particle, yet all contained within their orbits by the mass of positive electricity.

The electron is the smallest entity known to science and is a thousand times smaller in mass than the smallest atom. It is a sphere of positive electrification enclosing a number of negative electrified particles which counterbalance the positive electricity of the enclosing sphere. The electrons are characterized by the uniformity of their vibrations. During the revolutions of the electrons, thousands of millions of times per second, an electro-magnetic field of energy is created. Everything in nature is in a state of perpetual motion, changing from one velocity to another. Humans are merely aggregations of electrons. The power to change the state of motion of a body is energy. (Abrams, 1913)

Vibrational Medicine for the 21^st Century (ã 2000). Ronald Lynch, M.D. Integrative Natural Solutions

Excerpts from Gerber, Richard (1988). Vibrational Medicine, Santa Fe, NM: Bear & Co.

There are many magnet researchers who advocate drinking "magnetized water" for a variety of health reasons. As we have mentioned earlier, magnetized water has been shown by Dr. Grad and others to accelerate the germination and growth of plants…

In his book, Magnetotherapy, Dr. R. S. Bansal, director of the Indian Institute of Magnetotherapy in New Delhi, India, reports that drinking magnetized water can produce a wide variety of health benefits, including boosting energy levels, aiding digestion, improving normal bowel function, helping to regulate abnormal menstrual cycles, increasing urinary flow while also dissolving kidney stones, and even reducing fevers… Dr. Bansal recommends drinking two ounces of magnetized water before breakfast and after major meals of the day.

One may ask, "Does magnetization of the water do anything to change its basic physical properties?" The answer is yes. The changes are very small but measurable. Magnetized water exhibits a change in the strength with which water molecules are able to bind with one another. Magnet researchers Davis and Rawls found that south-pole magnetic force appeared to make water molecules bind to each other more weakly than normal, thus giving it a lower surface tension than normal.* Surface tension is the membrane-like layer on top of water that water-strider bugs are able to walk upon. It is this same phenomenon of surface tension that is responsible for the ability of plants to suck water up through their roots from the surrounding soil.

While the ability to alter the surface tension of water may not seem like much, a magnet's ability to change the way water molecules interact with each other within the body could theoretically produce major changes in enzyme activity. The shape an enzyme takes (and thus the shape and efficiency of the active enzyme site where it does its catalytic work) is strongly influenced by how the enzyme's protein backbone interacts with surrounding water molecules (a process that can be affected by magnetism). The fact that magnetized water possesses altered binding forces between water molecules and various proteins, salts, and mineral substances appears to endow it with the ability to dissolve buildups of various types of salts and minerals (Davis and Rawls, 1996).

This phenomenon turns out to have industrial as well as biological applications. Magnetized water has been shown to be effective in breaking down and dissolving mineral and salt buildup within pipes and boiler systems. It is used this way in Russia. In a similar vein, Russian and Indian magnetotherapists have reported that magnetic water, ingested by patients with kidney stones and certain types of mineralized gallstones, allowed patients to slowly dissolve and excrete the abnormal buildups of salt and minerals from their gallbladders and urinary tracts. Following this same line of reasoning, some Indian magnetotherapy researchers assert that magnetized water has similar value in helping to remove calcium and even cholesterol deposits from critically clogged arteries in people suffering from arteriosclerosis and other types of vascular disease… A number of Russian magnetotherapy researchers believe that many of the positive effects magnets have upon the body may be related to their ability to magnetize the water content of the human body itself. Keep in mind, we are more than [70] percent water…

There are two unique gem elixirs prepared from magnetic materials. They are lodestone elixir and magnetic elixir. The actions of these vibrational remedies are known primarily through intuitive research methods. Lodestone elixir is said to align our physical body's biomagnetic field with the earth's magnetic field. It may also enhance transmission of information throughout the body in its many forms. It seems to accomplish this in part by enhancing nerve-to-nerve communication throughout the entire nervous system. Lodestone elixir is reported to be a general tonic for the endocrine system and may also be valuable for stimulating tissue regeneration. It is said to balance the acupuncture-meridian system and bring balance to the opposing forces of yin and yang within the body.

Magnetite elixir is said to enhance blood circulation throughout the entire endocrine system. Magnetite elixir may be helpful for people who have had radiation exposure caused by working in the mine rich in radioactive minerals or from general exposure to radiation. It is also believed to enhance meditation, allowing a greater inner focus. Magnetite elixir is said to energize and align all the chakras, meridians, and subtle or spiritual bodies.

*It should be noted that William Philpott, M.D., a leading authority on bio-magnetism, believes that positive-negative polarity, not north and south polarity, is what creates the magnetic reaction.

From Oschman, J.L. Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis. (2001). New Perspectives, Journal of the Center for Frontier Sciences of Temple University, 10(2).

Electric and magnetic fields generated by tissues, organs, and even pathologies are not only useful for diagnostics, but are also part of the body's mechanism for communicating with itself and its environment. Each heartbeat, breath or emotion generates characteristic electromagnetic fields that travel through the extra cellular matrix, or connective tissue in which cells are embedded, to remote cells. The surrounding organized layer of water can serve as a separate communication and energy channel and may also have an impedance-matching role.

Through the Hall effect, it has been learned that the per neural system is sensitive to magnetic fields and that semi conduction is occurring. This discovery confirmed Saint-Giorgio's suggestion of semi-conduction in the living matrix and gave a basis for the use diamagnetic fields in healing. Each molecule, cell, tissue and organ has a resonant frequency that coordinates its activities. Living matter is highly sensitive to the information conveyed by these signals. These signals may integrate processes such as growth, defense, injury repair and the function of the organism as a whole.

When water with a weak, electro-magnetic signal enters the nerve cells, the connectors, called synapses, cannot generate a strong impulse from one cell to another. Eventually, the brain cells are affected from lack of adequate neuro-stimulation because the synapses can't keep nervous information flowing. Magnetized water is like a "magnetic bridge", creating a pathway for water to enter nerve cells more readily, thereby, making the minerals and nutrients required for intercellular nerve connections more available.

Blood Composition and Circulation

Yoshitaka Ohno, M.D., Ph.D. and Howard Reminick, Ph.D., Ohno Institute on Water and Health, Explore! for the Professional, Vol 10:5, 2001.

The human body is a completely integrated organism, always acting with natural intelligence to maintain wholeness with varying degrees of success. Success is dependent on the unique attributes acquired through genetics, attention to a healthy, lifestyle maintenance, and the quality, content and structure of water in the body.

This state of wholeness, or stability is known as homeostasis - a means of establishing equilibrium between forces tending to create disorder, and forces, which tend to maintain order within the body. When the body is in a state of disorder over time, deterioration and disease result. Homeostasis is disrupted. And the first to become affected by this instability is the blood.

The term -homeostasis- was coined to describe various processes in the body, which serve to maintain the body's state of health, as well as restore the body to a normal state. The body is in a state of homeostasis when there is no change in the structure and functioning of cells. It also requires that the chemistry of the bodily fluids, including the blood, remain stable. Homeostasis is maintained as a result of the body's natural healing process.

Homeostasis depends on blood composition and circulation to bring energy, oxygen and nutrients to a damaged area of the body. This depends on a continuous, smooth rate of flow and a balanced pH. It also depends on the blood's ability to prevent plaques from forming on arterial walls.

Blood is the body's means of transportation and communication. It is a major line of defense against mechanical damage and infection. It transports oxygen from the lungs to every cell. It transports carbon dioxide from the cells to the lungs. It carries nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract to the cells, waste products from the cells, and hormones from the endocrine glands to the cells. It also regulates body temperature and the pH factor (acid/alkaline balance).

The degree of acid or alkaline in the body's solutions inside and outside the cells is measured in terms of a value known as pH. The pH is stated as a number and is measured with a value ranging from 0.0 (total acid), to 14.0 (total alkaline). The blood must maintain a pH within a very limited normal range, 7.35 and 7.45. A blood pH reading of below 7.35 will result in an acid overbalance, which can result in cellular deterioration and trigger a disease process. When the pH drops and remains even slightly below 7.35, immune-related disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, migraines and asthma become common.

The pH factor is the special regulatory mechanism, which maintains the level of certain chemical elements in cellular fluid, as well as the level of glucose and other substances important to metabolism. Acid/alkaline pH must be balanced, otherwise metabolism is disrupted. Continuous acidic unbalance can lead to dangerous, life-threatening problems.

Blood pH acidity is increasing due to high acid diets and chemical additives in water we drink. New studies have reported findings, which show a direct relationship between cancer, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, and chronic acid pH. If the body fluids continue in a state of acidity, a condition which is a major contributor to the disease process, known as acidosis, will develop. Acidosis puts our body in a dangerous state. There is a direct link between acidosis and degenerative diseases seen in aging.

An example of metabolic dysfunction related to acidosis is diabetes. Under normal circumstances the pancreas releases insulin to keep the blood sugar normal. A regulating mechanism in the body called pH keeps an acid/alkaline chemical balance throughout the body's tissues and blood and prevents a breakdown in metabolic functioning. However, sometimes these self-regulating mechanisms in our body can't keep up with the excessive demands placed upon it. In spite of the their efforts, conditions are created which cause them to break down.

Even when there are brief periods of "sugar overload", the pancreas releases insulin which keeps the blood sugar level stable, at between 80-100 mg per 100 cc of blood. A blood sugar reading below 80 can result in hypoglycemia, which is, simply stated, low blood sugar. This can occur for a number of reasons, but commonly, it is due to too much insulin being released into the bloodstream, causing an insulin reaction.

The accumulation of insulin, which remains in cells from continuous release, can produce lipids (fatty deposits) and plaque deposits in the arterial walls. This can result in atherosclerosis, a common disease during aging. Thus, if the pancreas must work at overload to process large amounts of sugar intake by continuously pumping insulin into the bloodstream, a normal blood sugar level will be reduced. This causes hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), which can lead to diabetes. If the pancreas continues to work in this overactive state, it can eventually shut down over time and discontinue releasing insulin.

Acidic pH will disrupt metabolism, and thus the function of the digestive system, leading to build up of waste products. Without the pH balance being maintained, over-acidity can lead to an acceleration of the aging process by interfering with the body's immune system and the destruction of cells.

An example of this occurs from excessive amounts of acids from food in typical modern day diets and chemically-treated drinking water, creating a chemical imbalance. The body will struggle to regain its chemical balance by releasing alkaline substances such as calcium from tissues and organs. When a constant high level of acidity continues, calcium will be depleted from tissues and organs. Then the parathyroid becomes activated and will remove calcium from bones, which contain 99% of the body's calcium. To provide adequate alkaline for balance, bone calcium reserves can become depleted, until, eventually, osteoporosis, another aging disease, can develop.

More than half of the blood's four to six liters is a clear solution of concentrated proteins. The red color of blood is due to cells circulating in this clear serum, which creates and carries hemoglobin. Blood serum is composed mostly of water and contains enzymes and other proteins, fats, glucose, vitamins, minerals, oxygen and waste products. Hormones are contained in blood serum and carry messages throughout our body by way of the blood.

Hormones are generally small molecules, absorbed by protein receptors on the cell's surface. They send messages to cells which alerts them to respond. Epinepherine (adrenaline) in the adrenal glands is produced to focus on creating energy. It is released for the body's response to immediate danger. Insulin and glucogen are small protein hormones that signal the level of sugar in the blood.

Blood serum also helps defend the body against physical damage through the formation of clots. Much of the machinery of the immune system is also located in the blood serum, providing protection from invasion by foreign organisms. Antibodies in serum locate and tag the unfamiliar molecules attached to foreign organisms and target them for destruction.

In order to provide nutrition to the trillions of cells, as well remove and transport waste products to the kidneys and lungs, blood circulates in a continuous pattern. Anything that slows down the blood's movement, even for a fraction of a second, can result in oxygen depletion, leading to severe damage to organs. This is directly related to the blood's viscosity, its rate of flow, which is directly affected by blood composition. One of the main reasons blood flow is hindered is due to high viscosity (resistance).

Blood viscosity is four times greater than water viscosity. Water, which is not adequately magnetized, can increase blood viscosity. When blood is composed of contaminated water ,viscosity increases even more, and waste products and plaque attach more readily, creating difficulty of transporting nutrients to tissues and organs. This creates the environment for free radicals to flourish, as oxygen bonds with saturated fats in the bloodstream and attaches readily to cell membranes and vascular structures. When this build up increases over time, such as around the brain cells, calcification in the form of plaques increases and destroys brain functions, such as seen in Alzheimer's disease. When these formations occur in the vascular system, this becomes a factor in hypertension and stroke.

There has always been much controversy over "thick blood" and "thin blood". There has never been a good explanation as to what this means in relation to how blood acts as the transportation system for vital nutrients and antigens in the immune system. Blood is the creator and regulator of fluids produced in the body such as urine, sweat, gastric juices, and liquified carbon dioxide.

Thick blood is "sticky" blood. This is blood in which saturated fats, plaque and other waste products have accumulated. The thick masses of these accumulations result in certain immune-related diseases such as gout, kidney and gall stones, as well as allergies. Slowing the blood's rate of flow deprives cells, tissues and organs of vital nutrients in a timely manner. Blood must flow smoothly. Bio-magnetization keeps the blood's viscosity, or rate of flow, normal and prevents fats and plaque from accumulating on arterial walls and in cell membranes.

There have been some interesting theories about magnetic influence on circulation of blood. There are much data to support them. One is that iron in the blood's hemoglobin molecule will increase blood flow because of its ionization. Hemoglobin, per se, has no magnetic charge. However, magnetization in the blood's water can charge a hemoglobin molecule and, therefore, organize its movement. This will influence blood flow, especially the blood's viscosity.

The possibility that magnetism can influence blood flow is important to the body's healing process. This needs to be explored more thoroughly because it can be a major factor in treating immune-related diseases. Hemoglobin carries oxygen to cells. If injured or diseased cells receive more oxygen, then they should generate faster and metabolize more completely. Rather than clot as would be expected if magnetism caused iron in the blood to draw together in a clump, blood cells would actually separate when magnetism is applied.

Magnetization is necessary to regulate blood chemistry, flow and keep a pH balance. Since the blood is 90% water, it is obvious that water, which is bio-magnetized, is more effective in maintaining blood quality. But in addition to the influence magnetism has on water and blood, it also is necessary to every aspect of life. Without magnetism, the earth would spin off its axis and disappear in space. The common factor of all aspects of life is dependency on magnetism for survival.

How can normal blood chemistry and circulation be maintained? For the past three years, the Ohno Institute on Water and Health has exposed a naturally magnetized water from Japan to extensive clinical testing to determine its role in preventing, as well as improving health and aging disorders. Some consistent findings include (1) removing acidity from tissues, (2) increased cell detoxification, and (3) increased intra-cell hydration. These are significant attributes in maintaining good blood composition and circulation. We welcome practitioners to conduct their own studies with patients.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Dr. W. Bradley Worthington, former president of the Tennessee Society of Anesthesiologists has used Biomagnets on more than 1,000 patients with tremendous success. “They’ve proven effective in more than 80 percent of the patients. In some cases such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, the success rate is 95%” (the success rate for surgery is less than 35%).

Diabetes and Magnetic Bio-Stimulation

Magnetic Bio-Stimulation in Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: A Novel Intervention - A Randomized, Double-Placebo Crossover Study

Volume: AJPM Vol. 9 No. 1 January 1999 pgs 8-17

Abstract:
The pathophysiology of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is complex and poorly understood. Despite the current state of technology, dysesthetic pain in the extremities of diabetics and other patients with neuropathies remains a refractory problem. Conventional treatment is largely symptomatic, somewhat arbitrary, and often ineffective. Prior preliminary studies suggested that the application of magnetic foot pads may be a modifiable factor in intractable neuropathic pain syndromes. The primary objective of this randomized, double-placebo control, crossover trial was to test the effectiveness of magnetotherapy in neuropathic pain and also to assess the role of placebo. Secondary objectives were to quantify nerve conduction electrophysiologic changes and neurologic examination changes over a 4-month period. Of 24 initial patients, 19 completed the 4-month trial. There were 10 patients with advanced and refractory DPN (Stage II/III) and 9 non-DPN. Improvement was significantly more pronounced in the diabetic cohort, 90% versus 33%, at the end of four months (p < 0.02). During the first month, the placebo response was noted to be the same in both groups (22%) for symptoms of burning and numbness and tingling, whereas in the second month, the placebo effect was greater in the DPN cohort (38% versus 22%). This was felt to represent an overshoot phenomenon. At the end of 4 months, improvement was significantly more pronounced in the diabetic cohort for burning (p < .05) and numbness and tingling reduction (p < .05). Neuropathologic differences identified severe axonal damage principally in the diabetic cohort (absent CMAP 60%, absent SNAP 100%), whereas mild demyelinating changes were seen principally in the N-DPN group. These severe axonal changes were strongly predictive of clinical success and responsiveness. There were no significant serial changes in the neurologic examination or electrodiagnostic studies. Painful dysesthesias associated with C-fiber dysfunction in the diabetic cohort responded dramatically to exposure to static magnetic fields. The most plausible explanation of benefit and suppression of symptoms was that the K+ internal rectifying channels were stimulated producing repolarization and/or hyperpolarization. Despite the uncertainty regarding the precise mechanism of this novel approach, the results are impressive and suggest that a legitimacy exists for magnetotherapy as a safe and unique therapy in neuropathic diabetic foot pain. These preliminary data need to be validated by a larger longitudinal study.

Increasing Cellular Hydration

A Study on the Effect of Naturally Magnetized Water on Increasing Cellular Hydration and Its Relationship to Health and Longevity, Howard Reminick, Ph.D., Ohno Institute on Water and Health, Cleveland, Ohio, Published in Explore! for the Professional, Vol 10:6, Prescott, AZ, 2001.

INTRODUCTION

A major problem with aging disease is that even when the cause has been treated and seemingly under control, the cells still retain the germs in a latent state, and toxicity of the medications used to destroy them. As the body ages and the immune system declines, this makes it possible for the conditions of disease to re-emerge. Contributing heavily to this problem is underhydration, which is common among the aging population.

The body must receive at least 2.5 liters of water (not in the form of other liquids) daily to replace loss. Because water is an excellent solvent, assimilation of vital nutrients are absorbed in the cells. The best quality of water must be available to ensure that the body's internal environment is in the best operational state. This allows the body to respond to distress and imbalance by making corrections, returning the body to homeostasis.

Fluid fluctuations affect blood volume and intracellular hydration volume. This can be life threatening. When the amount of fluid within various cellular compartments is relatively constant, there is an exchange of solutes and water between compartments to maintain unique compositions. However, total body water decreases with age, resulting in inadequate cellular hydration. Most critical is the decrease in intracellular water volume.

Using a plumbing analogy, our bodies must have adequate water input, be able to remove sewage and blockages in the pipes, and also have an open release valve for water to flow freely through the system. Blockages at any of these levels will cause a shutdown of water flow.

Since the beginning of time, water has been critical to sustain all life. The structure of the water molecule is also the structure of all life forms. Also, from the very beginning of time, the magnetic field surrounding the earth's atmosphere has influenced how the body functions and maintains its balance. The body's bio-magnetism greatly affects the content, structure, organization and mobility of water. Since the body is made up of over 70% water, then the quality of the water we drink everyday will be the difference between sickness and health.

All of the body's chemistry is conducted in water. Any chemical exchange must be activated by bio-magnetism. In order for the sodium/potassium pump to work effectively, it requires magnetic conductivity. The greater the magnetism in the water in the body, the more effective the ionic exchange, which keeps the calcium/sodium levels balanced.

Magnetic frequencies in our bodies can stimulate cells to regenerate and tissues to repair. Natural healing modalities are based on magnetic generation and stimulation. Magnetism in the body will change the structure of water molecules and organize and direct their movement through cell membranes. It will also give water the ability to attract toxins from cells and flush them out.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE OF THE INVESTIGATION

Because of the direct relationship between dehydration and illness, the Investigator tested the effect of a naturally, magnetized water from Japan with 25, randomly selected patients with a variety of chronic health problems. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if this water could improve intracellular hydration, an indicator of improved health status of the patients, as determined by scores on the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), as well as patient and attending physician responses.

STUDY DESIGN

Twenty-five adult patients of Michael Galitzer, M.D., Los Angeles, California were randomly selected from 48 patients to participate in this study. Subjects included 15 male and 10 female, with an average age of 60 years, 5 months. Subjects were pre-tested on the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). The treatment applied to the subjects was a daily regiment of a naturally magnetized water, imported from Japan and under study with chronic health problems. Subjects were given 60, .5 liter bottles, to be consumed at one bottle daily for 60 days. No attempt was made to change or discontinue any treatment by the physician. The only difference, therefore, was the addition of a daily regimen of the water. Subjects were post tested after 60 days on the BIA. Subjects acted as their own controls.

INSTRUMENTATION

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is a diagnostic tool for evaluating disorders of fluid and nutritional balance. It quantitatively measures changes of total body hydration due to disease or disorder, as well as therapy. This instrument measures percents of intracellular (capacitance) and extracellular (resistance) fluid, and phase angle(reflecting total capacitance and resistance). For the purpose of this study, capacitance and phase angle will be reported, both pre and post study, to measure changes.

When the signal from the BIA is introduced to the cell membrane, a small amount of the signal enters through the protein channel to charge the inside of the cell membrane. This provides a measurement of reactance or capacitance of all cells in the electrical pathway. There are two parallel pathways; one is through the cell and the other around the cell.

The human body contains water. The amount of water varies, depending on body composition (fat or lean). The distribution of water is inside cells (ICW), and outside cells (ECW). ICW relates to nutrition and ECW to circulating volume. The health of a person can also be determined by the intra/extra cellular hydration ration. Basically, this should be 60:40, favoring intracellular. Sickness, malnutrition and dehydration can be detected early by shifts in ICW/ECW the ratio.

MEASUREMENTS

Capacitance. Capacitance is a measurement of the degree in which water can permeate the cell membrane. It reflects body cell mass (BCM) and intracellular water level (ICW). This is the determining factor of predicting overall health. It is also a means of evaluating the health of the cell membrane and its role in cell hydration.

The cell membrane functions as a permeable barrier, separating the intracellular (cytoplasm) and extracellular components. However, through electrical charge and bio-magnetism, this lipid membrane is transversed by water-soluble proteins, allowing water, ions and other chemicals to enter and exit the cell. Basically, capacitance measures cell permeability. Electrical capacitance will increase or decrease, depending on the health and number of cells. Damage to the cell membrane and its functions is as lethal to the cell as direct damage to the nucleus itself.

Capacitance is somewhat like the phase angle, not affected by weight or fat. It is a measure of cell membrane health and can change drastically, depending on state of health.

For capacitance to be effective, adequate conduction must be available. Conduction is electronic in nature. Electrical conduction in solutions is ionic, since charges are carried by ions and dependent on dissociation of the solute. Technically, pure water, or distilled, is a non-conductor, because to carry a charge, it must have a conductive ion from a salt, acid or alkaline. Conduction in biological substances, such as blood, is ionic. In the human body, the fluids, tissues and organs are good ionic conductors, whereas skin and fat are less conductive, and offer insulation to the body (resistance). The naturally, magnetized water used as the experimental treatment has a high conductivity.

Resistance is an indicator of extracellular mass and the extracellular water (ECW). It establishes a ratio in determining the degree in which water will either enter the cell or remain outside the cell. Extracellular mass involves the transportation of nutrients, wastes and fluids) and body cell mass (the burning of fat and nutrients, then converting to kinetic energy or calorie expenditure), which is an indicator of cell membrane health. However, if the resistance is high, then the percent of intracellular water is lower. For instance, someone in good health, such as an athlete, would have a higher capacitance (ICW) and a lower resistance(ECW), or more cell volume. A dehydrated or malnourished person would have a lower capacitance and a higher resistance.

Phase Angle. Phase angle is based on total body resistance and reactance. Lower phase angles appear to be consistent with either cell death or a breakdown of the cell membrane. Higher phase angles appear to be consistent with large quantities of intact cell membranes and body cell mass. All living substances have a phase angle. Phase angle is a predictor of outcome and indicates the course of disease or increases in health. As we age our phase angle decreases.

EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENT: Nariwa, Naturally Magnetized Water.

Because of the magnetic influence from its source, this water contains 74 minerals, which are naturally ionized. Three natural conditions are created in this magnetic environment, which give this water its unique qualities. First, it contains a balance of essential minerals, many of which are not found in any other water source. This includes trace minerals, many of which have been depleted in soil and drinking water because of environmental changes. Second, its natural magnetization allows molecules to be more highly organized in structure and movement, forming smaller clusters which are more easily absorbed and utilized by cells. Because these molecules are formed under a natural magnetic influence at their source, they create a stronger magnetic signal than other water, which enhances cell membrane permeability. Third, it has a slightly higher alkaline pH, between 7.60 and 7.80, which helps keep body fluids from becoming acidic.

Living cells are tied together by a matrix of water molecules. Like the atoms that compose them, they are tied together by ionic bonds consisting of positive and negative charges on their outer surfaces. In order for water to form ordered, structural energy bonds around cells, there must be active magnetic influence present. Water molecules lose order when they are not adequately magnetized. Inadequate magnetized molecules will disrupt hydration around them, creating disorganized movement for both the cell and the surrounding water.

RESULTS

Twenty-five test Subjects, randomly selected from 48 patients, were given .5 liters of a naturally, magnetized water from Japan for 60 days. Subjects were tested on an instrument, the Biolelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), which has been validated as a measurement of cellular hydration. Measured was capacitance, the degree in which water can permeate the cell membrane, which reflects intracellular water level, a predictor of overall health.

The norms/parameters (male/female average) of capacitance are:

The score of BIA measurement of capacitance before drinking the Experimental Treatment, naturally, magnetized water, showed the average capacitance of the 25 Subjects at 632.6. The score after the study (60 days) showed an average of 711.9. This was an average increase of 79.3 (11%).

Also measured was phase angle, which reflects the health of the cell membrane and its function in cell hydration. The norms/parameters (male/female average) for phase angle are:

The score of BIA measurement of phase angle before drinking the Experimental Treatment showed the average phase angle at 5.88. The average phase angle after the study was 6.64. This was an average increase of .76 (12%).

Each of the 25 Subjects improved, both in capacitance and phase angle over the two month period, averaging 11% improvement in capacitance, and 12% improvement in phase angle. This is important, considering the average age was 60 years 5 months. Because of physiologic declines associated with aging, improvements in cellular hydration are not typical.

The group average score on capacitance moved from Below Average to Average on the norms chart. Although the group average score on phase angle did not move to a higher category on the norms chart, there was improvement from the lowest parameter of Below Average to the highest parameter. These measurements indicate that each Subject's intracellular hydration percentage increased, which is considered a strong indicator of improved health.

CONCLUSION

The results of this study showed an increase in cell hydration with all 25 Subjects over a two month period, as a result of consuming a naturally, magnetized water from Japan. According to information on the relationship between hydration and health, this is a strong indicator of current health status, as well as an indication that this water can increase cell hydration, regardless of age or health status.

Several studies have been conducted with this water as experimental treatment with different patient populations over time. Although this was the first group study using the BIA to measure hydration, the findings have been similar regarding how this water improves various other measures of health factors.

However, in order to draw strong inferences on the effect of naturally, magnetized water on correcting or preventing health problems, tighter controls are recommended. But, there is still a positive indication, as a result of this study, that the naturally, magnetized water we have had under study for over three years does react positively to health issues related to aging. Because no negative side effects were reported among the Subjects, it is recommended that more of these studies be conducted by health practitioners to establish a larger data base of outcomes.

Increasing Mercury Excretion

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Biological dentistry has long been a proponent of eliminating mercury in dental fillings, due to its extensive life of releasing high toxicity into the blood. Chelation is a highly effective procedure in removing mercury, as well as other heavy metals. The experimental treatment, Nariwa, a naturally magnetized water from Japan, has been studied for over five years and has been found to increase cell hydration, assimilation of nutrients into the cells, tissue detoxification and lower pH acidity. Previous uncontrolled trials with Nariwa water showed consistently higher mercury excretion levels than had previously been found after an IV-DMPS (di-mercaptopropane sulphonic acid) chelation treatment.

Purpose: Based on its history as a detoxifying agent and reports from previous trials by a biological dentist and a physician administering chelation, this study was conducted to determine if the effectiveness of Nariwa water in increasing an IV-DMPS chelation treatment in excreting mercury after removal of mercury amalgam fillings could be found in a controlled study with a large sample.

Method: 40 patients of a biological dentist who had mercury amalgam fillings removed were assigned to two groups. 20 (Experimental) were given a .5 liter bottle of Nariwa water to drink after an IV-DMPS chelation treatment administered by a physician, and 20 (Control Group) were given a commercial bottled water to drink after their chelation treatment. A six hour cumulative urine sample was collected by each Subject and submitted for a urine provocation test to determine levels of mercury excretion.

Results: The mean score of the urine provocation test for the Experimental Group (N=20) was a Mercury Excretion Value of 55.50 mg/g creatinine. The mean score for the Control Group (N=20) was a Mercury Excretion Value of 30.40 mg/g creatinine. The mean difference between groups was 25.1. The addition of drinking .5 liters of Nariwa water with an IV-DMPS chelation treatment showed an 83% greater mercury excretion effect. This is consistent with preliminary trials conducted with small samples and reports from other studies conducted by the Ohno Institute.

Conclusion: As a result of the data, Nariwa water has the potential to increase the effect of an IV-DMPS chelation treatment in excreting mercury from the body. Based on the results of this study and evidence from other studies, Nariwa should be considered as an adjunctive treatment with both IV and oral chelating agents for mercury detoxification.
