			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.waterfyi.com/water-ionizers/water-ionizers-the-news-is-spreading/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-877" title="happy-face-cookies" src="http://www.waterfyi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/happy-face-cookies-250x250.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a><strong>My Story</strong>:  My wife introduced me to alkaline ionized water two years ago after attending a MLM meeting, and the rest is history: full recovery from long term acid reflux problems and crippling arthritis, complete elimination of ragweed allergy symptoms, and zero colds for two years for any of the five members of our family who live in our home.</p>
<p>I retired last year as President of one of the leading suppliers of water ionizers so that I could start this blog to help spread the word about the benefits of ionized water.  I also wanted to provide an unbiased source of information about the water ionizer industry and its products.  It turns out that honest information goes a long way.</p>
<p><strong>Benefits of the water:</strong> There are too many to mention and you can read about them all over the internet.  The important thing to understand is that drinking ionized water can play a significant role in helping your body become alkaline.  Your body is meant to be alkaline, as you were born that way.   The highly acidic diets of most Americans and Canadians cause our bodies to be acidic, which leads to degenerative diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, and cancer.  The &#8221;miracle water&#8221; or &#8220;kangen water&#8221; is not a miracle at all.  Your body is the miracle, and drinking the water simply allows your &#8220;miracle body&#8221; to perform properly as acid is slowly eliminated from your system.    </p>
<p><strong>Why I started this blog:</strong> After drinking the water for a few weeks, I was stunned by the remarkable benefits.  I was also shocked that so few people were aware of the water because the results were life changing for me.  It didn&#8217;t make any sense to me that such an incredible product was hidden in almost total obscurity.  I quickly learned that the pharma industry quietly works behind the scenes casting doubt on water ionizers and other non-regulated health products .  The pharmas also carry tremendous influence with the health regulatory bodies in both Canada and the States, so it is no wonder that the medical &#8220;influencers&#8221; have not helped spread the word.</p>
<p>Adding to the frustration was the short sighted behavior of the players in the water ionizer industry itself.  Instead of building awareness and educating the public, they were too busy filling their pockets and stabbing each other in the back with their archaic marketing techniques. </p>
<p>The &#8220;independent&#8221; review sites, which are not independent at all, only serve to confuse the public.  Claims by virtually every company that  &#8220;our product are the best and the other companies don&#8217;t match up&#8221; leaves the consumer wondering if any of the products are any good.  Given the high cost of the machines, and the uncertainty created by both the pharmaceutical industry and the water ionizer industry itself, it is no wonder that sales have languished when they should be going through the roof.  Unfortunately, the water ionizer companies seem to have adopted a philosophy that &#8221;you only need to fool some of the people some of the time&#8221; because of the high profit margins. </p>
<p>The benefits of the water are too important to leave the education process in the hands of the water ionizer companies who seem to only be interested in profits.  No wonder less than 1% of people in Canada and the United States have even heard of ionized water despite the fact water ionizers have been available here for 8 years.  My goal is to make sure the other 99% of the population learns about the water, and I hope you help me with my cause.</p>
<p><strong>The Good News:</strong>  With every article I post on this blog, more and more people are taking notice.  I don&#8217;t have any delusions that people are following this blog because of my &#8220;captivating&#8221; writing style, or the &#8220;scintillating&#8221; content.  They are looking for honest and unbiased answers to help clear up the confusion created by the industry itself.  It appears that the people who are visiting this site are sharing it with others, which brings a big smile to my face.  </p>
<p><strong>More Good News</strong>:  As the blog grows, so do the comments and inquiries.  In the past month, I have been contacted by people all over the world who are interested in the water as a business.  In fact, at last count, people from 85 different countries are following this blog.  That means the word is getting out there. </p>
<p>Many of the inquiries are about specific issues or questions as would be expected.  What comes as a surprise is that I have been contacted by many people in recent weeks from far and near who want to get involved in the water ionizer industry.  As a result, I&#8217;m helping people from Australia (Sydney and Melbourne), Belgium, Canada (New Brunswick, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and BC), Hong Kong, New Zealand, the Philippines, Russia (and the surrounding countries that used to make up the USSR), and the USA (California, Florida, and Minnesota).  My help is in the form providing education, answering questions, and letting them know who the good guys are in the industry to deal with, and putting them in touch with the right people.  If you want to get involved, contact me and I will be happy to offer whatever assistance that I can. </p>
<p>When I started this blog, the goal was to share some information so that individuals could sort their way through the confusion created by all of the conflicting information about ionized water on the internet. As the blog grows, it seems that more and more people who can help others &#8220;the influencers&#8221; are getting involved.  It is similar to the old story that reminds us that if you feed a man a fish, you have provided one meal, but if you teach a man to fish, he can feed himself for life. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m a really impatient person.  I want everyone to learn about the water and start drinking it Right Now!  Unfortunately, it doesn&#8217;t work that way.  Creating awareness in the 99+ % of people who have never heard of water ionizers is going to take time.  However, it will happen because the benefits of the water will eventually demand attention.   At some point in time, even the owners of the companies that hate me and have been threatening me because I&#8217;m demanding accountability will figure out that there will be plenty of money for everyone if we just teach people how to fish.  In the meantime, Just Drink the Damn Water!</p>
<p><strong>Thanks For Helping:</strong> I&#8217;m really grateful for the comments on this blog and the emails that I receive.  I will continue to research and write because it is my hobby and passion, but your encouragement helps far more than you can imagine.  If you want to help spread the word about the water, please refer this website to people that you care about, or link this site to your website.  Thanks for your help!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People are starting to refer to alkaline ionized water as Miracle Water.  I don&#8217;t like the term, as it hints of promotional hype.  The reality is that the water helps the body remove acid so that it can heal itself.  The real miracle is your body.  You just have to give it a chance to work properly. </p>
<p>What started out as a simple blog to share my story about how alkaline ionized water eliminated my acid reflux and arthritis, has evolved into something much more important than I ever imagined.  It seems the blog has inspired others to share their own personal stories about how the water has helped them with their own personal situations.  I believe that those who share their stories are providing an invaluable service, as tens of thousands and sometimes even millions of others are looking for information about the same diseases.  Real stories from real people provide information and hope for those that don&#8217;t know where to turn, after the medical and pharmaceutical systems have let them down.  I&#8217;m not a doctor basher.  Doctors provide a valuable service, but our current social structure is flawed and doctors are left as the scapegoat.  It is not the fault of the doctors that they have not been trained to help people learn how to become, or stay healthy. </p>
<p>When my wife first introduced me to the water, I couldn&#8217;t have been more skeptical.  I would have bet 1,000 to 1 odds against the water helping me at all.  Imagine my surprise when my acid reflux disappeared within a week, and my osteoarthritis disappeared in a couple of weeks.  How could that be?  I had been taking pills and a topical transdermal NSAID for my arthritis for several years, and pills for my acid reflux for a longer period.  The medications only masked the problem and my physician indicated that I would be on medications for the problems for the rest of my life.  How could something as simple as water fix the problems in weeks?  </p>
<p>I have come to realize that each one of us owns and operates the most sophisticated machine in the world.  That machine is your body.  No amount of money or scientific knowledge can produce anything that comes close to the miracle of your body.  So, why do we treat our cars better that our own body? We put the proper fuel and lubricants into our cars, but we neglect and often abuse our most precious asset.</p>
<p>It appears that most of the people in our society have very little interest in their health as long as they believe they are healthy.  It is only when they begin to experience problems themselves, or if a loved one becomes ill, that they begin to consider the consequences of what they are doing to their bodies. In Canada, the situation is made worse by the fact that Canadians believe that the medical system will take care of us them when we do become ill.  It is easy to understand the frustration of a patient when their doctor tells them the equivalent of &#8220;it sucks to be you&#8221;, because they are unable to provide anything more than a prescription to control the pain or the symptoms.  My own physician gave me the bad news many years ago that I would have acid reflux and it was not going away.  The good news was that &#8220;we&#8221; could manage the problem with prescription drugs.  To this day, I&#8217;m still trying to figure out the good news part of the equation.   </p>
<p>When the process was repeated for my arthritis, I was angry because the arthritis was having a significant impact on my life.  The only thing the medical community could offer was &#8220;take one of these pills in the morning and one at night, and &#8220;we&#8221; can manage the problem.  He also told me that &#8220;we&#8217; would have to monitor the situation, as the drugs would probably damage my gastrointestinal tract over time.  Great!</p>
<p>When the doctor later told me that I should get started with a third prescription to reduce my cholesterol levels, I refused.  I would like to tell you that I immediately started to eat better, but I didn&#8217;t.  I have to give all the credit to my wife, as she kept researching, and trying things that might help me.  Eventually she came upon the &#8220;miracle water&#8221;.  I haven&#8217;t had to take pills for anything since I started drinking the water more than a year ago.</p>
<p>I spend a lot of time these days researching and learning about water.  I talk to companies that make filters, water softeners, reverse osmosis machines, and of course water ionizers.  I also spend time talking to people who drink alkaline ionized water.  At first, I was surprised how many people were telling me that the water improved or changed their lives, because I thought I was the only one.  What has become clear after many conversations is that a significant percentage of people that drink the water experience rapid relief from acid reflux and arthritis.  Also surprising to me initially was how many people experienced significant weight loss over a few months, without dieting.  The weight loss always came as an unexpected bonus, because nobody started on the water trying to lose weight.  I was also surprised by how many people (women in particular) had experienced relief from constipation and bloating. Many people that I have talk to feel they have more energy and they experience less pain.   While any of the above would be reason enough to want drink the water, the benefits go much deeper.</p>
<p>Disease manifests itself in a wide spectrum of ways. Clearing up acid reflux is great, but it pales in comparison to beating cancer.  I have spoken to three different people since I started this blog that have told me how they beat cancer with the water.  The liver and prostate cancer stories have already been written can be reviewed at this site.  The breast cancer story will be available as soon as I confirm all the facts.  It is critical to me that that the stories can be verified.  I hope to be able to present dozens or perhaps hundreds of articles on cancer alone over time.</p>
<p>I have also interviewed people who have reduced or eliminated their Type 2 diabetes medications. There are more than twenty million people in Canada and the United States with Type 2 diabetes.  Twenty million!  Type 2 diabetes is reaching epidemic status and nobody seems to care unless they have the disease themselves.  There is &#8220;real&#8221; good news in regards to Type 2 diabetes, as it can be controlled and eliminated with diet, a little bit of exercise, and reducing stress.  Stress plays a significant role in our health and it is overlooked by virtually everyone. I expect that the water will play a significant role in reducing diabetes in our society, as virtually every brand of water ionizer (except the expensive Multi Level Marketing units) can be purchased for less than the annual cost of controlling a simple case of diabetes.  I believe it is only a matter of time until the insurance companies get involved as a cost saving measure.</p>
<p>I have listened to stories about success with skin diseases like eczema, psoriasis, athlete&#8217;s foot, and fungus when acid water is applied to the skin.  Acid water is produced as a bi-product when a water ionizer machine creates alkaline water for drinking. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m also receiving stories about the positive effect the water is having on digestive disorders such as IBS, colitis, and Crohn&#8217;s disease.  The water also provides relief to many that suffer from constipation and bloating.  Relief for arthritis and acid reflux typically occurs in days or a few weeks, but it seems that the digestive system disorders require a person to drink the water for about six months.</p>
<p>How can water do all this?  Is this miracle water?  The key to understanding why the water is so effective for such a wide variety of diseases is to realize that the water is not healing anything.  The water is simply helping the body get rid of the excess acid that builds up over time.  Your body does the rest if you give it a chance.</p>
<p>The human body can sustain an unbelievable amount of abuse in terms of improper diet, lack of exercise, lack of sleep, and stress.  However, the body can only tolerate only so much abuse before it begins to break down.  This is where alkaline ionized water comes into play.</p>
<p>The human body is a magnificent machine, but it is a machine.  It needs fuel and it needs to eliminate the waste from fuel combustion, just like any other fuel driven machines.  However, unlike other machines, your special machine has the ability to heal itself if it is properly maintained. </p>
<p>In the most simplistic description possible, the water ionizer splits stable water (water with no charge) into negatively charged alkaline water and positively charged acidic water.  The negatively charged alkaline water helps the body eliminate the positively charged acid from your body.  Once the body eliminates the acid, it can return to a slightly alkaline state, and the miracle that we call our body does the rest.  That is why we see amazing results across such a wide spectrum of diseases.  The body does the healing, not the water. </p>
<p>The human body is equipped to handle a diet of 80% alkaline and 20% acidic food or liquids.  That means 80% green veggies and some fruits, and only 20% meat, sugar, flour, and pretty much all the things that most of us eat.  While your body can digest acid foods, it was never meant to handle a diet of 97% acids.</p>
<p>Your body eliminates acid through the digestive system, primarily by means of urine and feces.   We also   sweat away a small amount of acid, and minute amounts simply by breathing.  </p>
<p>When your body has to deal with more acid that it can eliminate by natural means, it will protect itself by surrounding the dangerous acidic cells with fat, and typically deposits them around the waistline or buttocks.</p>
<p>As we eat more fast foods, and perform less exercise, to potential of obesity and then degenerative diseases increases dramatically. As acid accumulates over time, it contributes to the deterioration of the immune system, and degenerative diseases like arthritis, Type 2 diabetes, and cancer begin to develop.  The alarming rate of increase in childhood obesity and the near epidemic levels of Type 2 diabetes should be a wake up call to all of us. </p>
<p>Each and every one of us can take simple steps to give our body a chance to be healthy. We all experience the frustration of recognizing flaws in the system, but in this particular situation, you can make a positive contribution to your health.   </p>
