Review

This book IS the definitive guide to the world's healthiest substance. Ionized water is one of the great health breakthroughs of all time and yet it has been almost entirely ignored in the West. Here, finally, is a book that says everything you will ever need to know about why you need to drink ionized water. --Ryan McDowell

Product Description

Water is our best defense against disease of every kind. Sixty percent or more of all chronic disease would be significantly reduced if people would simply keep themselves properly hydrated. To ionize means to gain or lose an electron. Essentially, the ionization process robs an electron from one molecule and donates, or transfers, it to another molecule. Both Alkaline and Acid Ionized Water have extraordinary properties and benefits, however, their respective uses could not be more different. We consume Alkaline Ionized Water and use the Acid Ionized Water on the outside of our bodies for acne, cuts, scrapes and rashes of all kinds. It kills bacteria on contact and encourages plant growth. The centerpiece of Alkaline Ionized Water are its antioxidant properties. It is miraculous that normal tap water can be instantly transformed into a strong antioxidant. Alkaline Ionized Water has two antioxidant qualities, its negative charge and the presence of hydroxyl ions which are free radical scavengers. The body is starved for electrons and Alkaline Ionized Water contains an abundance of them, which nullify free radicals in the body. One can thrive on half the normal intake of food as long as we consume high electron-rich nutrients. Alkaline Ionized Water is an extremely effective antioxidant because it is a liquid that has a small grouping of water molecule clusters and thus is more easily absorbed into the body where it can be of immediate use. Drinking Alkaline Ionized Water gives you energy through better hydration and alkalization of the body and by providing the body with oxygen. Because of the predominance of hydroxyl ions in Alkaline Ionized Water, the water becomes alkaline, meaning it has a high pH. The pH level can be adjusted with a water ionizer between 7.5 and 9.9, which is the highest pH that it should be consumed. All disease thrives in an acid environment in the body and will not flourish and thrive in an alkaline environment. If we acidify

5.0 out of 5 stars Great insight into ionized water and it's background, August 18, 2007
By Karyn L. Fischer (Nashville TN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Miraculous Properties of Ionized Water - The Definitive Guide to the World's Healthiest Substance (Paperback)
Reading this book was very helpful in trying to sort out all the information that is on the internet about water ionizers and the history of ionized water. We had researched quite a bit online but it was mostly companies selling machines and controversy concerning "Kangen" water. Details in the book describe how and where ionized water started, and Bob McCauley's involvement, along with his father, in the introduction of ionized water in the US. Very interesting... we discovered he had a website (he had a sticker on the book with that info) and we were able to buy a water ionizer from him at a reasonable price... we also learned about a magnetizer that replaces a soft water system that we had been using for years... it takes no maintenance, no salt, no upkeep, and it's a lifetime warranty... and much cheaper than a soft water system... well worth looking into... it produces "soft" water which is what we wanted but without the use of salt and doesn't remove minerals... and to use a water ionizer you want minerals in the water otherwise the electrolysis won't work... very impressed with this book and all the information included...

3.0 out of 5 stars Poorly Written But Has Some Quality Aspects, December 14, 2008
By Baruch Spinoza "Michael" (Centennial, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Miraculous Properties of Ionized Water - The Definitive Guide to the World's Healthiest Substance (Paperback)
This book has stronger positives and negatives than the typical CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine) book. The positives include a collection of the Scientific Studies of the Effects of Ionized water in Appendix 5, facts sourced throughout the book and some information presented about the topic that is little known to the general public. In addition, he does dispel some of the positive myths surrounding ionized water. For all of the above, he deserves due credit.

The negatives are unfortunately also strong. The author uses the book to promote his perspectives on living an overall health lifestyle that includes the controversial 'raw foods diet' along with consuming certain green foods. Any diet needs to be recommended and monitored by a qualified health professional based partly upon frequent blood test analysis. He also slams all ionized water debunkers based upon emotion rather than reason. Despite the sourcing, much of his presentation sways by emotion rather than by reason - a common trend in the CAM universe. Despite the presentation of scientific studies supporting his conclusions, he neglected some additional studies and also did not discuss the overall quality of the research. The folksy, homespun method of writing turns-off readers desiring a more science-oriented discussion and the pictures of his family and friends in the back comes across as unprofessional as it is utterly non-topical to the book. Testimonials sway the non-scientific minded (as simultanaity does not equal causality) and suggest that his argument is insufficiently supported by hard science.

As a fan of water ionization, I learned a few things but also found discussions of various topics such as water clustering, activated water, and water bond angles in regards to biological health to be incomplete at best. Overall, the book may be worth buying for some but for those who are science-minded, it is strictly at the 101 level.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, December 21, 2006
This review is from: The Miraculous Properties of Ionized Water - The Definitive Guide to the World's Healthiest Substance (Paperback)
This is such a great book. I have been researching ionized water for the past few months and finally I got some real answers. I was sort of on the fence about whether I wanted a water ionizer and now I have to have one. This book is an excellent guide to ionized water and water in general. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about water, especially ionized water.
