1. Is Alkaline Water Or Ionized Water (Kangen Water) Effective
Benefits Of Ionized Alkaline Water
The purpose of the water ionizer appliance is to produce alkaline water. Alkaline water is supposed
to have these four main health promoting properties:
1. High alkaline pH value. The recommended ionized water for drinking is with pH value of 9.0 or
9.5. This is alkaline water, and is supposed to neutralize the body acidity to maintain a healthy body.
When the body is too acidic, it is prone to sickness. Cancer cells thrive in an acidic body
environment.
2. High antioxidant level. Alkaline water has a very high negative ORP value. ORP stands for oxygen
reduction potential. Very high negative ORP value, in simple language, means the ability to
neutralize health-threatening free radicals. Although sufficient free radicals are essential for our
body function, excessive quantity of free radicals will cause harm to our body. One of the defense
mechanisms to minimize damage by these excessive free radicals is the presence of antioxidants.
High negative ORP value indicates high antioxidant level. An antioxidant is a molecule that inhibits
the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation reactions increase free radicals and when this oxidation
is not controlled, these free radicals can start a chain reaction in a cell damaging it or even kill the
cell. When this chain reaction spreads unchecked, free radicals multiply rapidly, and more healthy
cells will be damaged and even be killed, leading to serious health problems, even cancer.

2. 3. Smaller micro water clusters. Ionized alkaline water has smaller water clusters. Water is not just
liquid floating around. Water consists of clusters of molecules. Normal water has clusters of around
15 molecules. Ionized alkaline water has smaller clusters of around 7 or less. Smaller water clusters
mean better penetration and absorption of the water into our body cells, and also regulates more
efficient disposal of toxins and wastes from the body.
4. Free from contaminants and rich in minerals. The water ionization appliance ensures water from
the tap is thoroughly filtered before passing through the electrode plates. This filtering process
ensures absolutely clean water, free from chlorine, harmful bacteria and other contaminants. Ionized
alkaline water also has higher contents of ionic minerals such as magnesium and calcium.
The Controversies Of Ionized Alkaline Water
I will not go into details of the controversies of ionized alkaline water. Even amongst medical
professionals, there are the proponents and the opponents. The proponents swear by the wonderful
efficacies of the water, while the opponents condemn the water as just another "snake oil". Some
even expounded "scientific and medical" explanations that there was no way alkaline water could do
any good for the drinker; in fact might even harm the person. On the other hand, many positive
personal testimonies came from those who have taken the ionized alkaline water, which have
actually helped reduce or even cured their health problems.
Who would you believe? I will believe the positive personal testimonies of those who have taken the
ionized alkaline water, provided I know for sure that they are telling the truth. Here I have two
personal testimonies from people very close to me. One is my elder sister. The other is my wife.
My elder sister is nearing 70. Occasionally, she had to use a walking stick, depending on her health
mood. But she definitely could not get up without any help once she knelt or squat down. After
drinking the ionized alkaline water for a few days, she could get up from the squatting position.
Since then she did not require the walking stick as well. She spread the good news to us, and my
wife was game to try the ionized alkaline water. You see, my wife has been suffering from chronic
body aches. The doctors attributed the cause to aging, which conveniently means no cure for her
aching problem. One particular very painful problem was her "trigger finger" problem. "Trigger
finger" is defined as "a common disorder characterized by catching, snapping or locking of the
involved finger flexor tendon, associated with dysfunction and pain". Whatever that is, the
consequent was that it was a very painful event when it happened, accompanied by a sudden loud

alkaline water, the trigger finger did not recur! Now her affected right thumb can relaxingly bend
with ease and without pain.
