Let me first say that my family and I use this water. My mom has been using it for months and has been able to drastically cut back on her supplements. My husband and I have been using it just as long for ourselves and our children. We use this water to cook with instead of regular tap water and we also give this water to our pets. You can truly tell a difference with this water. Besides the difference in taste, you actually feel better after you drink it. I grew up on well water from a very deep well, you could actually taste the minerals. I’ve never liked the taste of any other water, I’ve never found well water that has tasted as good as the water I had growing up did. Even bottled waters left a bad taste in my mouth. This water tastes like the well water I grew up on.

My son took a trip to Michigan to visit family, before he came home he managed to pick up a bug. We all ended up getting sick, including his grandmother who came for a weeks visit. While she was here with us she drank this water. She said before she left that she truly felt the only reason she was recovering so quickly from being sick with the bug was because she was drinking this water. Normally she said it takes her a good three or more weeks to recover from a regular bug. This water truly helps the body heal. It tastes great and you feel good. Now here is some information for you!

Why are antioxidants so important? Charged atoms called “free radicals” damage healthy cells, causing the process of oxidation. It’s what makes cut apples turn brown and iron rust. Researchers believe free radical damage plays a major role in heart disease, premature aging, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis and many more.

Antioxidants stop oxidation. There is clear evidence that they counter-act the onset of degenerative disease – the first key to vitality. Ionized water from an IonWays ionizer has more antioxidant power than a glass of fresh orange juice.

Why all the fuss over drinking lots of water? For starters, our bodies are 2/3 water. Dehydration is a factor in many major health problems. Common effects of dehydration can include: low energy, migraines, type II diabetes, hypertension, weight gain, low back pain. Dehydration usually appears to be something else: e.g. it causes low energy, low energy causes poor digestion, then is diagnosed as acid reflux and is treated with drugs instead of water. Proper hydration is critical to good health and vitality.

An IonWays ionizer filters then ionizes your water, reducing the size of molecular clusters. The result – up to 6 times more hydrating. Delicious an silky smooth, ionized water “disappears” inside your body – the hydrating effect!

Researchers believe that disease is caused by excess acidity in our body that weakens all body systems. Caused by our high stress lifestyles, what we eat and pollutants, it affects virtually everyone. This forces the body to rob minerals – calcium and magnesium – from vital organs and bones. Our reserves are depleted, leaving the body vulnerable to bone density loss, heartburn, indigestion, blood sugar issues, weight gain – 68 conditions in all.

When healthy, your body has sufficient alkaline reserves to balance itself – and naturally resists disease. The easiest way to help your body to be more alkaline is to drink alkaline water. IonWays ionizers provide you with a source of alkaline minerals. This naturally maintains proper pH balance – boosting health and vitality.

Clean water is not enough! Reverse osmosis, distilled water and most bottled waters are devoid of naturally occurring minerals. They are acidic and hard to absorb and rob minerals from the body. As water is ionized, it provides you with a rich source of extra oxygen – almost double the amount of tap or bottled water. Ionized water more effectively flushes acidic toxins from your body.

IonWays Water Quality Alert (3-11-08): Pharmaceuticals Found in Water Supplies Summary:
Reporters from the Associated Press’ National Investigative Team reviewed hundreds of scientific reports, federal databases and environmental studies and interviewed more than 230 officials, academics and scientists and private water suppliers in all 50 states. Following this exhaustive project, it was concluded that a surprising array of pharmaceuticals have been found in water supplies across the U.S.
Partial Findings:

Following is a partial list of what the Investigative Team uncovered:

• • Philadelphia: 56 pharmaceuticals or byproducts in treated drinking water, including medicines for pain, infection, high cholesterol, asthma, epilepsy, mental illness and heart problems. Sixty-three pharmaceuticals or byproducts were found in the city’s watersheds.
• • Southern California: Anti-epileptic and anti-anxiety medications were detected in a portion of the treated drinking water for 18.5 million people.
• • Northern New Jersey: Drinking water treatment plant, which serves 850,000 people, found a metabolized angina medicine and the mood-stabilizing carbamazepine in drinking water.
• • San Francisco: A sex hormone was detected in drinking water.
• • Washington D.C.: The drinking water for Washington, D.C., and surrounding areas tested positive for six pharmaceuticals.
• • Tucson AZ: Three medications, including an antibiotic, were found in drinking water supplied to Tucson, Ariz.

There is NOT a Federal Government mandate for municipalities and well owners to test for pharmaceuticals in water, or have the Agencies set any maximum contaminant levels. As a matter of fact, the common water quality tests available through certified water quality labs would not even detect these levels of pharmaceutical contaminants. NSF (www.nsf.org ) the gold standard private water quality certifying organization in the USA, has not established a standard for the testing of these contaminates. Of the 62 major water providers contacted by the Investigative Team, the drinking water for only 28 was tested. Among the 34 that haven’t: Houston, Chicago, Miami, Baltimore, Phoenix, Boston and New York City’s Department of Environmental Protection, which delivers water to 9 million people.

Health Risks:
Researchers do not yet understand the exact risks associated with persistent exposure to random combinations of low levels of pharmaceuticals, however, some studies uncovered dangerous effects on humans and animals.
To nobody’s surprise, the Pharmaceutical Industry had initially gone on record to state that: “Based on what we now know, I would say we find there’s little or no risk from pharmaceuticals in the environment to human health,” said microbiologist Thomas White, a consultant for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America.
But at a conference last summer, Mary Buzby — Director of Environmental Technology for drug maker Merck & Co. Inc. — said: “There’s no doubt about it, pharmaceuticals are being detected in the environment and there is genuine concern that these compounds, in the small concentrations that they’re at, could be causing impacts to human health or to aquatic organisms.”
The reaction from the Federal Government is: “We recognize it is a growing concern and we’re taking it very seriously,” said Benjamin H. Grumbles, assistant administrator for water at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Why Is Bottled Water Your Problem?

• 8 of every 10 plastic bottles end up in landfills. This transalates into 38 BILLION bottles that end up as garbage or litter each year for the United States alone!
• Water bottles buried in landfills can take up to 1,000 years to biodegrade.
• Water bottles leak toxic additives into the groundwater.
• The plastic leaches potentially hazardous industrial chemicals into the water it contains.
• The FDA requires bottled water companies to test for microbiological content only once per week versus municipal water systems, which are required to test for microbes several times each day.
• Similarily, public water systems are required to test for chemical water contaminants four times as often as bottled water companies.
• Bottled water companies are not required to test for cryptosporidum, which infected more than 400,000 Milwaukee residents in 1993 due to negligence at a water treatment plant.
• It wastes our natural resources. To create the plastic bottles means to use 1.5 million barrels of oil each year just to keep up with the United States demand for bottled water.

Here are the benefits to drinking energized, ionized, and alkalized water provided by an IonWays water ionizer:

• Powerful Antioxidant & Anti Inflammatory – Ions Are Negatively Charged – Free Radicals Are Positively Charged
• More Oxygen – almost DOUBLE that of bottled water!
• Detoxifies – Removes Acidic Waste
• Sanitizes Fruits & Vegetables – washed in the Acidic water bi-product of Alkaline Water
• Superior Hydration – six times better than regular water!
• Improves Your pH Balance – From Acidic to Alkaline, thus allowing your body to heal faster and better!
