Congratulations to Ryder Hesjedal for a Great Ride in the Tour de France
In: Miscellaneous
25 Jul 2010
Like millions of bike riding enthusiasts, I’m a big fan of the Tour de France.
This year’s edition was filled with excitement due to the many unexpected events in the early stages. Lance Armstrong of Radio Shack didn’t drop out of the race, but his chances were finished early due to crashes. Christian Vande Velde of the Garmin/Transitions team was also an early victim of a Stage 3 crash. Then there was the disastrous chain malfunction for Andy Schleck of Saxobank that effectively allowed Alberto Contador of Astana to breeze through… Continue reading

I started this blog about a year ago as a way to share information about water and water ionizers. I was still in the water ionizer business at the time and I was warned that the authorities would not appreciate the fact that I was telling the truth about a health product. It turns out that that you can promote any product other than health care products by any means including testimonials. When it comes to health care products, the marketing is strictly controlled. The pharmaceutical/medical industry will arrange to have any… Continue reading

How Much do You Spend on Drinking Fluids Each Year?
In: Miscellaneous
19 Jul 2010
I bet you have never considered how much you spend on your fluid intake each year. I had certainly never thought about it myself. Why would I think about it? How much could it be after all?
People spend a lot more money than they think on their fluid intake. How do I know? It started with the question: “How long would it take to pay for a good quality water ionizer if you stopped drinking other liquids.
The human body requires water… lots of water. The average… Continue reading

Hard Water Scale – Answers and Solutions
In: Miscellaneous
28 Jun 2010
Hard water is not considered harmful to your health, but it can cause ugly stains from scale build up in sinks, tubs, and elsewhere if left unchecked. People notice the stains, but they are generally unaware of the significant hidden costs of the scale build until it is too late.
Scale is formed when minerals (usually calcium) are precipitated out of water. The scaling process accelerates dramatically when the temperature of the water increases or when water travels across the electrically charged plates in a water ionizer.
The hidden costs
As I continued to watch the unfolding horror in the Gulf of Mexico, it dawned on me that the repercussions of the disaster would be magnified ten thousand times if the problem had occurred in a major fresh water source such as the Great Lakes. While the effects of the events unfolding in the Gulf are horrendous, they would be a proverbial drop in the bucket compared the consequences if a similar oil spill in the Great Lakes.
Forty million people depend upon the water from the Great Lakes for drinking water, while nobody drinks… Continue reading
New Hope for Coffee Drinkers
In: Miscellaneous
28 Apr 2010
Coffee is the most common drug in America. Fifty four percent of adult Americans drink coffee to the tune of 146 billion cups per year.
There is an interesting article on CNN tonight that brings to light some of the benefits of drinking coffee. You can read the article written by Sarah Klein at: http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/04/28/coffee.studies/index.html?hpt=C2
Coffee has had a bad reputation in health circles for a long time. It is common knowledge that caffeine remains in your system for up to 12 hours, and can lead… Continue reading

How much water should I drink?
In: Miscellaneous
21 Mar 2010
I often get asked how much water people should drink. I did a quick search of the internet looking for an article to refer people to, but I couldn’t find anything that dealt with all the issues and had all the correct facts. Here is my effort!
You should pay as much attention to your level of hydration as you do to your intake of food. Your body is made up of 70% water, so don’t ignore the importance of water.
Never rely upon being thirsty as a good… Continue reading
