A New Medical Discovery

"I discovered the healing power of water in a peculiar situation. When Iranian Revolution broke out in 1979, I was placed in the infamous as a political prisoner.  One late night, I followed a howl, a shrieking groan in the corridor.  I found a young man doubled up in agony. He told me "My ulcer is killing me." I asked, "What have you done for it?" He said, "I've taken three Tagamet and a whole bottle of antacid and it hasn't done any good." I asked "When did it start?" He said "At one o'clock in the afternoon."  For 10 hours he was in that position and no one could help. I examined his abdomen to see whether he had perforated. Fortunately, he had not. I gave him two glasses of water and sat next to him and observe him for ten minutes. I went back and came back in another seven minutes. He was no longer groaning anymore. He opened his eyes, sat up and was pain-free. Three glasses of water removed his pain in 20 minutes whereas the best, strongest medication couldn't do anything."

"During two and half years of my imprisonment, I successfully I treated over 3,000 people with peptic ulcer disease with only water and I came away with understanding that these people were really and only thirsty. They were presenting their dehydration in the form of a painful crisis situation that we in the medical profession had labeled as 'disease condition.'"

"After twenty three months, the prison warden told me the authorities were considering releasing me. I thank him, but said I wanted to stay on in prison a while longer. I was in the middle of clinical observation on the effect of water as a treatment of various stress-induced health problems, including bleeding peptic ulcer conditions. I stay in prison another four months.  During my prison time, I gained much new understanding about physiological effect of water and its relationship to many disease conditions. I discovered that human body had sophisticated crisis calls for water when it is stressed and becomes dehydrated.  I published the first announcement of my discovery in the Iranian Medical Association while I was still in prison. A translation of the article was sent to America and was eventually restructured for publication as a guest editorial in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology in June 1983. The New York Times Science Watch reported this discovery on June 21, 1983."

Excerpt: Your Body's Many Cries for Water

"Medical professionals of today do not understand the vital roles of water in the human body. Medications are palliatives. They are not designed to cure the degenerative disease of the human body.

The current practice of clinical medicine is based on the application of pharmacological chemistry to the human body. At the medical school, more than six hundred teaching hours are allocated to the use of pharmaceutical products. Only a few hours are allocated to instructions on diet and nutrition.

The simple true is that dehydration can cause diseases. Everyone knows that water is good for the body. They seem not to know how essential it is to one's well-being. They do not know what happens to the body if it does not receive its daily need of water."
"We misinterpret thirst signals as pain, and treat them with drugs which silence instead of cure the problem. Because dehydration eventually causes loss of some functions, the various signals given by water distribution system regulators during severe and lasting dehydration have been translated as indicators of unknown disease conditions of the body.  

I discovered that histamine is a vital chemical messenger in the brain. Histamine has a most important function not written about in medical textbooks. It is in charge of water intake and drought management in the body. It is less active when the body is fully hydrated, and becomes increasingly active when the body becomes dehydrated.

To hush the body's call for water by masking the symptoms with drugs is like turning out the dashboard light that signal us that our car is about to overheat."

"Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water. Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones, and chemical massages to all parts of the body. Without sufficient water to wet all parts equally, some more remote parts of the body will not receive the vital elements that water supplies. Without sufficient water to constantly wet all parts, your body's drought-management system kicks into action. The histamine-directed chemical messenger systems are activated to arrange a new, low quota of water for the drought-stricken area. When histamine and its subordinate "drought managers" come across pain-sensing nerves, they cause pain. This is why dehydration produces pain as its first alarm signal. If the dehydration persists and is not corrected naturally with water, it becomes symptom-producing and, in time, develops into a disease condition."

I did not invent water. I only discovered its importance to health and wellbeing. As a doctor, I ask you to give water a try."

"Understanding dehydration will empower you to become much healthier and you will be able to become your own healer."

"The information on dehydration is ground-breaking. The explanation I have been able to put together will educate the public about dehydration. And basically it will turn everyone into a healer of their own bodies. And they are in turn become healers for others around them. This is how information is spread so far."

Heartburn

Heartburn is a signal of water shortage in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract. It is a major thirst signal of the human body. The use of antacids or tablet medications in the treatment of this pain does not correct dehydration, and the body continues to suffer as a result of its water shortage.

All too often, doctors fail to recognize heartburn as a sign of dehydration - and treat it with antacids, acid blockers, and other potentially harmful medications. Over time, these drugs produce stomach inflammation, ulcers, hiatal hernia, and eventually cancers in the gastrointestinal tract, including the liver and pancreas.

The truth is, chronic heartburn is a sign of water shortage in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract. It is a major thirst signal of the human body. Taking antacids to treat this pain does nothing to correct dehydration, and your body continues to suffer as a result of its water shortage.

Tragedy: Not recognizing heartburn as a sign of dehydration and treating it with antacids and pill medications will, in time, produce inflammation of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum, hiatal hernia, and localized ulcerations. It will ultimately cause cancer of the esophagus, as well as other cancers in the gastrointestinal tract, including the liver and pancreas.

High Blood Choloesterol

"Last year I was shocked to discover that my blood cholesterol level had shot up to 279. When you 'prescribed' ample water be taken before meals instead of medication that I was just about to submit myself to, I was very skeptical. In two months, and with very little observance of all the old 'rules' which were making my life miserable, my cholesterol went down to 203 for the first time in more than nine years! My weight too was surprisingly down by about eight pounds and has since been under control...I believe I owe you a big THANK YOU." - Mohammed Whaby, Washington, DC

High cholesterol levels are an indicator of early drought management by the body. Cholesterol is a clay-like material that is poured in the gaps of some cell membranes to safeguard them against losing their vital water content to the osmotically more powerful blood circulating in their vicinity. Cholesterol, apart from being used to manufacture nerve cell membranes and hormones, is also used as a "shield" against water taxation of other vital cells that would normally exchange water through their cell membranes.

High Blood Pressure

"Leaving years of diuretics and calcium-blockers behind, for three months I drank your recommended amount of tap water, occasionally more. My blood pressure, heretofore contained by drugs, gradually dropped from an average of 150-160 systolic/over 95-98 diastolic to an amazing, drug-free 130-135 systolic/over 75-80 diastolic average. This drug-free approach, based essentially on tap water and a pinch of salt, has relaxed my system and justifies the confidence that you hold the handles of a truly revolutionary and marvelous medical concept."

- Walter Burmeister, Lt. Col., El Paso, Texas.

Hypertension is a state of adaptation of the body to a generalized drought, when there is not enough water to fill all the blood vessels that diffuse water into vital cells. As part of the mechanism of reverse osmosis, when water from the blood serum is filtered and injected into important cells through minute holes in their membranes, extra pressure is needed for the "injection process." Just as we inject I.V. "water" in hospitals, so the body injects water into tens of trillions of cells all at the same time. Water and some salt intake will bring blood pressure back to normal!

Tragedy: Not recognizing hypertension as one of the major indicators of dehydration in the human body, and treating it with diuretics that further dehydrate the body will, in time, cause blockage by cholesterol of the heart arteries and the arteries that go to the brain. It will cause heart attacks and small or massive strokes that paralyze. It will eventually cause kidney disease. It will cause brain damage and neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease.

Interview with PhenomeNews

"The human body is composed of 25 percent solid matter and 75 percent water. Brian tissue is 85 percent water. When we starve body cells of water, they start to complain - and set up may adverse reactions."

"Dry mouth is not the only sign of dehydration and waiting to get thirty is wrong. Pain in the body is a crisis call of the body for water. Thirst should be prevented. When body does not receive enough water and you have pain that is a sign of dehydration."
"Chronic pain of the body which cannot easily be explained as injuries or infection should first and foremost be interpreted as signal of chronic water shortage in the area where the pain is registered. These pain signals should first be considered and excluded as primary indicators for dehydration of the body before any other complicated procedures are forced on the patient."

"Once you understand how the human body works, the wonderful simplicity of water as a free and permanently available choice of medication for so many health problem begins to make sense."

"I have to abandon some of my past learning and build a new landscape for the science of medicine in the future. Medicine has based its understanding that it is a solid matter in the body that regulates all functions of the body. I have explained scientifically at the molecular level that it is water that regulates all functions of the body including functions of solid matter. Without water, this solid matter is absolutely useless. It is water that energize and activates the solid matter. 75 percent of our bodies are composed of water. The brain is 85 percent water. Now if the solid matter is not active without water therefore water is more important than solid matter. And if you don't take enough of water then some function of the body will begin to suffer. I am talking about system disturbance - dehydration produces multi-system upheaval."

"This is new information based on science. It is simple information. The origin, design, of the human body is made on simple events. Integrating these simple events has producing an integrated body but the foundation of it is simplicity is based on water. Water is what it needs. The medical community has spent 100 years of money and time researching the solid matter. If they spent a quarter as much time and one tenth as much money on investigating dehydration, we will become a much healthier nation."

Interview with The Cincinnati Post

"This book, Your Body's Many Cries for Water, is intended to be read as a novel about the love relationship of water and the human body. The love story is about you and water inside your body. It is also a love story between me and the reader because I don't want people to be sick."

Obesity, Cancer, Depression: Their Common Cause

"Love is a powerful healer - giving love or receiving it. There is an inherent insecurity that is associated with any disease, but especially cancer. When you love somebody, you want to survive to continue to be with that person. When you receive love, your body becomes energized and your immune system will lift its level of action in the fight against the disease. Love changes the chemical pathways of the brain, and this will affect your body's resistance. The love of God, for those who believe in Him, has a similar effect."

"Patients are not just their "disease conditions" or "insurance addition"; they are vulnerable human beings. Doctors or healers must freely project their feelings of empathy and sincerity in their dealings with the sick. It is just possible that empathy might be a stronger medication than anything they might prescribe."

Water for Health, for Healing, for Life

Sir Alexander Fleming was Nobel laureate recognized to have discovered penicillin. He was a Scottish scientist who worked at the Wright-Fleming Institute of St. Mary's Hospital Medical School of London University when I was a medical student there in 1950s. Many medical students had an emotional urge to become discoverers. I was no exception. Since childhood, I had been driven to study medicine and become someone who could positively affect the lives of people who fell sick.

In the introductory bacteriology course, students were divided into small groups and assigned to different tutors. Luck placed me in the tutorial group assigned to Sir Alexander. He was a refined and humble man. At the end of the tutorial, I gathered enough courage to ask him a question, the answer to which has deeply influenced me ever since.

I asked him, "Sir Alexander, is there a special way to become a discoverer in medicine?" He looked at me and pondered my naive question. After a pause, in a very refined Scottish brogue he replied, "Need and purpose." He explained that with the increasing introduction of different treatment procedures into medical practice, there was an ever-increasing rate of fatal bacterial complications. To find an agent that would stop bacterial infections in the human body became a most urgent need that established a purpose and resolve for those in bacterial research. "Need" was the mother of penicillin's discovery, and "purpose" the impetus of its development of human application.

Alzheimers: Memory Loss Delay

EFFECTS OF MAGNETIZED WATER ON MEMORY LOSS DELAY IN ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE

Ohno, Y. "Effects of Magnetized Water on Memory Loss Delay in Alzheimer's Disease", Frontier Perspectives, Center for Frontier Sciences, Temple University, Vol 6(2), Spring/Summer, 1997.

Introduction: Previous studies and experimentation with magnetized water in Russia, China and U.S. have reported improvement in persons with aging-related diseases. Physicians in Japan have been treating chronic illnesses with magnetized water for years and have reported positive results. The author has conducted numerous studies with a magnetized water from Japan with his patients and has reported positive results. Progression of memory loss associated with Alzheimer's may be due to toxicity of medications accumulated in cells, loss of nutrients necessary for neurotransmission, and contaminants found in drinking water, and may be delayed with a daily regimen of magnetized water.

Objective: To test the effectiveness of magnetized water over standard drinking water in delaying memory loss associated with the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Methods: A Double-Blind study design. Ten subjects with probable AD were administered 4 repeated trials of the Combined Blessed-Folstein Test for cognitive functioning (memory) over a 20 week period. Experimental group given 480cc of magnetized water daily and Control group 480cc of standard drinking water.

Results: 4 Experimental group subjects demonstrated significantly less decline in memory functioning compared to 5 Control group subjects over a 20 week period. One subject in Control group was enrolled and completed study, but found to have been misdiagnosed ( did not have dementia). Subject's scores were removed from data analysis, although subject is represented on top line graph (Figure 1).

Conclusion: Although a pilot study with small N(9), significance difference was reported between groups, which merits repeated studies with larger N over a longer period. Further studies can provide new information as to etiology and treatment of AD, as well as offer support for alternatives to drugs and their detrimental side effects, which can influence progression of symptoms. In addition, if theories of contaminants in our drinking water supply can lead to neuro-cellular damage, then magnetic water may prove to be a valuable modality in controlling AD progression.

Bacteria in Intestinal Flora

A STUDY ON EFFECT OF NATURALLY MAGNETIZED WATER ON THE STABILITY OF BACTERIA IN INTESTINAL FLORA

Ohno, Y. and Reminick, H. "A Study on Effect of Naturally Magnetized Water on the Stability of Bacteria in Intestinal Flora: Implications for Health and Anti-Aging", Explore! for the Professional, Prescott, AZ, Vol 10:3, 2001.

Introduction: Conventional medicine is still driven by Pasteur's Germ Theory, which he recanted before his death. Pasteur based his theory of disease on what he discovered in how fermentation takes place, which he believed was the result of the effect of bacteria on yeast and could not take place outside of living cells. However, von Liebig discovered what was to become the Chemical Theory, that fermentation was caused not by bacteria, per se, but by changes in the molecular structure of bacteria. This opened the door for studying how bacteria works in the intestinal flora of the body, and how bacteria can either produce fermentation, which keeps bacteria healthy and stable, or putrefaction, which produces destructive bacteria. Bacteria in the body is responsible for critical bodily functions and, therefore, must not be destroyed. The free use of antibiotics over the past 40 years has been attributed to the destruction of essential bacteria in the body and a rise in chronic, degenerative diseases.

Discussion: The difference between fermentation and putrefaction is the difference in electron oxidation/reduction, similar to free radical formation, which is widely accepted as a leading cause of disease and aging. In fermentation, electrons are in stable pairs around each bacterium cell. In putrefaction, an electron is missing, thus creating instability, turning bacteria into an aggressor. Putrefaction can be reversed by supplying electrons to stabilize the structure of bacteria. Thus, theoretically, disease can also be reversed. Increase in incidence of chronic, degenerative diseases suggests that anti-biotics have destroyed, not only disease-producing bacteria, but massive amounts of bacteria necessary to maintain homeostasis. This leads to decreased immune functioning and has allowed bacteria to build resistance to antibiotics, creating an unstable internal environment.

Implications for Health and Anti-Aging: Studies conducted by the Ohno Institute with medical patients have reported changes in urine pH and Resistivity(electric conduction required to remove excess mineral wastes in cells), as measured by Biological Terrain Assessment. These changes have occurred in subjects whose only difference in treatment was a daily regimen of naturally magnetized water from Japan. Because of its magnetic properties, this water is capable of replacing lost electrons, providing reduction and, thus, stability to bacteria cells. Because of its strong negative polarity, it can also attract and flush out disease-causing bacteria cells which accumulate in the intestinal tract. When bacteria are stabilized, they can work to keep the body balanced by creating a good fermentation process in intestinal flora.

Bio-Magnetic Hydrology

Bio-Magnetic Hydrology: The Interactive Effect Of Two Forces Of Natural Energy - Water And Magnetism 

In the current era of rapid scientific progress, many concepts which were once "scientific truths" as recently as 20 years ago are no longer tenable. But of all the discoveries, none is more important than the theory of the human energy field. In a very short time, scientists have revisited their thinking from denial of the existence of energy fields to absolute certainty that they exist. This revelation has worked its way into scientific investigation in bio-medical research. As a result, medical interest has begun to focus on the magnetic fields around the body, referred to as bio-magnetic fields. This is beginning to be understood as perhaps the main catalyst of human energy.

How did I become interested in Energy Medicine? When did I learn that only with gratitude for the gifts of Nature and Natural Energy can our mind, body and spirit be one and receptive to these gifts? My years of training and practice as a physician in Japan led me to seek a better way of providing health care with a more humanitarian approach. Forced by the system to use cruel treatments that provided revenue rather than healing, I became disillusioned as I watched patient after patient suffer needlessly, many begging for death, rather than continue to live with pain and without dignity.

A field of study which has led me to investigating the forces of Natural Energy is Bio-Magnetic Hydrology. I coined this term to explain the interactive effect of magnetism and water in the body, and how these natural energy forms provide for a stable, internal environment. I have found these two areas promising and worthy of exploring. As I explored these forces of Nature and dug deep into the mystery of Natural Energy, I became aware of how water behaves in the body and its role in maintaining a healthy, internal environment. This becomes manifested in the extra cellular matrix( the area of the internal environment surrounding the cells) and the importance of water's osmolarity and magnetic influence. These distinct, yet inseparable entities may prove significant in providing answers to the mystery of energy, especially as it applies to the human body.

Bio-magnetism has been studied in many different sciences, such as electro-biology and neurophysiology. However, the relationship of bio-magnetism to the human energy field is just gaining attention by more open and enlightened scientists. Going beyond the world of ions, they are focusing on micro bio-magnetism, which includes studying smaller entities than ions, mainly electrons, protons and electron voids. This has provided impetus to uncover the root of natural energy and a scientific basis for understanding the disease process. (Oschman, 2000)

NATURAL ENERGY

In respect to human energy, the human effort in the conquest of the forces of Nature is really futile. Nature is never really conquered; yet we can only be triumphant when we realize this basic law, and learn to direct and control the more important forces within us. All forms of energy are provided and circulated by Nature, given freely as gifts. Two of its most significant gifts, which have an impact on health and longevity are water and magnetism, energy sources in the purest form.

Albert Einstein spent the last part of his life in search of a "common denominator" behind forms of energy. The forces found in the living body which generate its energy correspond with those which govern the inanimate world and the theory of "vital force', which, unfortunately, has been rejected by mechanistic, scientific thinking. The "Cell Theory" professed the conception that the activities of an organism are the sum of the activities of its component cells, which were regarded as the most elementary form of organized substances incapable of further reduction other than by mechanical or chemical means. This theory is only feasible if Einstein's theories of quantum physics are rejected. (Oschman, 2000)

Regarding energy at the most fundamental level, we still do not know exactly what electricity and magnetism are. With new thinking on old theories, the time has arrived when the activities of living cells will find explanation on a physio-chemical basis, generated by the natural forces of energy. Whether the issue investigated pertains to a human or bacteria, we are dealing with a mass of vibrating atoms which in their varied combinations are the basic constituents of all that exists.

We all need both internal and external sources of magnetism for survival. Internally, the body makes mineral crystals of magnetite that can be magnetized. These ferromagnetic (highly capable of being magnetized)elements of iron, manganese and cobalt are found in the pineal gland and in neurons. These structures are actually permanent static field magnets that generate magnetic fields. Individual cells have magnetic fields centered in the DNA, produced by the biochemical processing of nutrients, water and oxygen, an element highly capable of being magnetized (Philpott), 2000). The content and structure of the water in the body can be the difference in how the body assimilates elements necessary for optimal use of magnetization. Water which is naturally magnetized in a magnetic environment is superior to any other water source, even water that has been artificially magnetized by a device.

Magnetism is energy, created by the movement of electrons, which spin counterclockwise. The electron is a basic unit of the atom and has properties such as mass, charge and gravity. But a rational, scientific explanation of these properties related to energy is not yet available. The electron theory which most corresponds with modern scientific investigation concerning the physical basis of the material universe conceives matter to be made up of molecules, composed of atoms, which consist of electrons. These atoms of matter are individualized masses of positive electricity diffused uniformly over the area of an atom. Throughout the mass are hundreds of minute particles of negative electricity, aggressively moving about, each repelling every other particle, yet all contained within their orbits by the mass of positive electricity.

The electron is the smallest entity known to science and is a thousand times smaller in mass than the smallest atom. It is a sphere of positive electrification enclosing a number of negative electrified particles which counterbalance the positive electricity of the enclosing sphere. The electrons are characterized by the uniformity of their vibrations. During the revolutions of the electrons, thousands of millions of times per second, an electro-magnetic field of energy is created. Everything in nature is in a state of perpetual motion, changing from one velocity to another. Humans are merely aggregations of electrons. The power to change the state of motion of a body is energy. (Abrams, 1913)

Vibrational Medicine for the 21^st Century (ã 2000). Ronald Lynch, M.D. Integrative Natural Solutions

Excerpts from Gerber, Richard (1988). Vibrational Medicine, Santa Fe, NM: Bear & Co.

There are many magnet researchers who advocate drinking "magnetized water" for a variety of health reasons. As we have mentioned earlier, magnetized water has been shown by Dr. Grad and others to accelerate the germination and growth of plants…

In his book, Magnetotherapy, Dr. R. S. Bansal, director of the Indian Institute of Magnetotherapy in New Delhi, India, reports that drinking magnetized water can produce a wide variety of health benefits, including boosting energy levels, aiding digestion, improving normal bowel function, helping to regulate abnormal menstrual cycles, increasing urinary flow while also dissolving kidney stones, and even reducing fevers… Dr. Bansal recommends drinking two ounces of magnetized water before breakfast and after major meals of the day.

One may ask, "Does magnetization of the water do anything to change its basic physical properties?" The answer is yes. The changes are very small but measurable. Magnetized water exhibits a change in the strength with which water molecules are able to bind with one another. Magnet researchers Davis and Rawls found that south-pole magnetic force appeared to make water molecules bind to each other more weakly than normal, thus giving it a lower surface tension than normal.* Surface tension is the membrane-like layer on top of water that water-strider bugs are able to walk upon. It is this same phenomenon of surface tension that is responsible for the ability of plants to suck water up through their roots from the surrounding soil.

While the ability to alter the surface tension of water may not seem like much, a magnet's ability to change the way water molecules interact with each other within the body could theoretically produce major changes in enzyme activity. The shape an enzyme takes (and thus the shape and efficiency of the active enzyme site where it does its catalytic work) is strongly influenced by how the enzyme's protein backbone interacts with surrounding water molecules (a process that can be affected by magnetism). The fact that magnetized water possesses altered binding forces between water molecules and various proteins, salts, and mineral substances appears to endow it with the ability to dissolve buildups of various types of salts and minerals (Davis and Rawls, 1996).

This phenomenon turns out to have industrial as well as biological applications. Magnetized water has been shown to be effective in breaking down and dissolving mineral and salt buildup within pipes and boiler systems. It is used this way in Russia. In a similar vein, Russian and Indian magnetotherapists have reported that magnetic water, ingested by patients with kidney stones and certain types of mineralized gallstones, allowed patients to slowly dissolve and excrete the abnormal buildups of salt and minerals from their gallbladders and urinary tracts. Following this same line of reasoning, some Indian magnetotherapy researchers assert that magnetized water has similar value in helping to remove calcium and even cholesterol deposits from critically clogged arteries in people suffering from arteriosclerosis and other types of vascular disease… A number of Russian magnetotherapy researchers believe that many of the positive effects magnets have upon the body may be related to their ability to magnetize the water content of the human body itself. Keep in mind, we are more than [70] percent water…

There are two unique gem elixirs prepared from magnetic materials. They are lodestone elixir and magnetic elixir. The actions of these vibrational remedies are known primarily through intuitive research methods. Lodestone elixir is said to align our physical body's biomagnetic field with the earth's magnetic field. It may also enhance transmission of information throughout the body in its many forms. It seems to accomplish this in part by enhancing nerve-to-nerve communication throughout the entire nervous system. Lodestone elixir is reported to be a general tonic for the endocrine system and may also be valuable for stimulating tissue regeneration. It is said to balance the acupuncture-meridian system and bring balance to the opposing forces of yin and yang within the body.

Magnetite elixir is said to enhance blood circulation throughout the entire endocrine system. Magnetite elixir may be helpful for people who have had radiation exposure caused by working in the mine rich in radioactive minerals or from general exposure to radiation. It is also believed to enhance meditation, allowing a greater inner focus. Magnetite elixir is said to energize and align all the chakras, meridians, and subtle or spiritual bodies.

*It should be noted that William Philpott, M.D., a leading authority on bio-magnetism, believes that positive-negative polarity, not north and south polarity, is what creates the magnetic reaction.

From Oschman, J.L. Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis. (2001). New Perspectives, Journal of the Center for Frontier Sciences of Temple University, 10(2).

Electric and magnetic fields generated by tissues, organs, and even pathologies are not only useful for diagnostics, but are also part of the body's mechanism for communicating with itself and its environment. Each heartbeat, breath or emotion generates characteristic electromagnetic fields that travel through the extra cellular matrix, or connective tissue in which cells are embedded, to remote cells. The surrounding organized layer of water can serve as a separate communication and energy channel and may also have an impedance-matching role.

Through the Hall effect, it has been learned that the per neural system is sensitive to magnetic fields and that semi conduction is occurring. This discovery confirmed Saint-Giorgio's suggestion of semi-conduction in the living matrix and gave a basis for the use diamagnetic fields in healing. Each molecule, cell, tissue and organ has a resonant frequency that coordinates its activities. Living matter is highly sensitive to the information conveyed by these signals. These signals may integrate processes such as growth, defense, injury repair and the function of the organism as a whole.

When water with a weak, electro-magnetic signal enters the nerve cells, the connectors, called synapses, cannot generate a strong impulse from one cell to another. Eventually, the brain cells are affected from lack of adequate neuro-stimulation because the synapses can't keep nervous information flowing. Magnetized water is like a "magnetic bridge", creating a pathway for water to enter nerve cells more readily, thereby, making the minerals and nutrients required for intercellular nerve connections more available.

Blood Composition and Circulation

THE NATURALLY MAGNETIZED WATER DIFFERENCE IN BLOOD COMPOSITION AND CIRCULATION

Yoshitaka Ohno, M.D., Ph.D. and Howard Reminick, Ph.D., Ohno Institute on Water and Health, Explore! for the Professional, Vol 10:5, 2001.

The human body is a completely integrated organism, always acting with natural intelligence to maintain wholeness with varying degrees of success. Success is dependent on the unique attributes acquired through genetics, attention to a healthy, lifestyle maintenance, and the quality, content and structure of water in the body.

This state of wholeness, or stability is known as homeostasis - a means of establishing equilibrium between forces tending to create disorder, and forces, which tend to maintain order within the body. When the body is in a state of disorder over time, deterioration and disease result. Homeostasis is disrupted. And the first to become affected by this instability is the blood.

The term -homeostasis- was coined to describe various processes in the body, which serve to maintain the body's state of health, as well as restore the body to a normal state. The body is in a state of homeostasis when there is no change in the structure and functioning of cells. It also requires that the chemistry of the bodily fluids, including the blood, remain stable. Homeostasis is maintained as a result of the body's natural healing process.

Homeostasis depends on blood composition and circulation to bring energy, oxygen and nutrients to a damaged area of the body. This depends on a continuous, smooth rate of flow and a balanced pH. It also depends on the blood's ability to prevent plaques from forming on arterial walls.

Blood is the body's means of transportation and communication. It is a major line of defense against mechanical damage and infection. It transports oxygen from the lungs to every cell. It transports carbon dioxide from the cells to the lungs. It carries nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract to the cells, waste products from the cells, and hormones from the endocrine glands to the cells. It also regulates body temperature and the pH factor (acid/alkaline balance).

The degree of acid or alkaline in the body's solutions inside and outside the cells is measured in terms of a value known as pH. The pH is stated as a number and is measured with a value ranging from 0.0 (total acid), to 14.0 (total alkaline). The blood must maintain a pH within a very limited normal range, 7.35 and 7.45. A blood pH reading of below 7.35 will result in an acid overbalance, which can result in cellular deterioration and trigger a disease process. When the pH drops and remains even slightly below 7.35, immune-related disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, migraines and asthma become common.

The pH factor is the special regulatory mechanism, which maintains the level of certain chemical elements in cellular fluid, as well as the level of glucose and other substances important to metabolism. Acid/alkaline pH must be balanced, otherwise metabolism is disrupted. Continuous acidic unbalance can lead to dangerous, life-threatening problems.

Blood pH acidity is increasing due to high acid diets and chemical additives in water we drink. New studies have reported findings, which show a direct relationship between cancer, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, and chronic acid pH. If the body fluids continue in a state of acidity, a condition which is a major contributor to the disease process, known as acidosis, will develop. Acidosis puts our body in a dangerous state. There is a direct link between acidosis and degenerative diseases seen in aging.

An example of metabolic dysfunction related to acidosis is diabetes. Under normal circumstances the pancreas releases insulin to keep the blood sugar normal. A regulating mechanism in the body called pH keeps an acid/alkaline chemical balance throughout the body's tissues and blood and prevents a breakdown in metabolic functioning. However, sometimes these self-regulating mechanisms in our body can't keep up with the excessive demands placed upon it. In spite of the their efforts, conditions are created which cause them to break down.

Even when there are brief periods of "sugar overload", the pancreas releases insulin which keeps the blood sugar level stable, at between 80-100 mg per 100 cc of blood. A blood sugar reading below 80 can result in hypoglycemia, which is, simply stated, low blood sugar. This can occur for a number of reasons, but commonly, it is due to too much insulin being released into the bloodstream, causing an insulin reaction.

The accumulation of insulin, which remains in cells from continuous release, can produce lipids (fatty deposits) and plaque deposits in the arterial walls. This can result in atherosclerosis, a common disease during aging. Thus, if the pancreas must work at overload to process large amounts of sugar intake by continuously pumping insulin into the bloodstream, a normal blood sugar level will be reduced. This causes hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), which can lead to diabetes. If the pancreas continues to work in this overactive state, it can eventually shut down over time and discontinue releasing insulin.

Acidic pH will disrupt metabolism, and thus the function of the digestive system, leading to build up of waste products. Without the pH balance being maintained, over-acidity can lead to an acceleration of the aging process by interfering with the body's immune system and the destruction of cells.

An example of this occurs from excessive amounts of acids from food in typical modern day diets and chemically-treated drinking water, creating a chemical imbalance. The body will struggle to regain its chemical balance by releasing alkaline substances such as calcium from tissues and organs. When a constant high level of acidity continues, calcium will be depleted from tissues and organs. Then the parathyroid becomes activated and will remove calcium from bones, which contain 99% of the body's calcium. To provide adequate alkaline for balance, bone calcium reserves can become depleted, until, eventually, osteoporosis, another aging disease, can develop.

More than half of the blood's four to six liters is a clear solution of concentrated proteins. The red color of blood is due to cells circulating in this clear serum, which creates and carries hemoglobin. Blood serum is composed mostly of water and contains enzymes and other proteins, fats, glucose, vitamins, minerals, oxygen and waste products. Hormones are contained in blood serum and carry messages throughout our body by way of the blood.

Hormones are generally small molecules, absorbed by protein receptors on the cell's surface. They send messages to cells which alerts them to respond. Epinepherine (adrenaline) in the adrenal glands is produced to focus on creating energy. It is released for the body's response to immediate danger. Insulin and glucogen are small protein hormones that signal the level of sugar in the blood.

Blood serum also helps defend the body against physical damage through the formation of clots. Much of the machinery of the immune system is also located in the blood serum, providing protection from invasion by foreign organisms. Antibodies in serum locate and tag the unfamiliar molecules attached to foreign organisms and target them for destruction.

In order to provide nutrition to the trillions of cells, as well remove and transport waste products to the kidneys and lungs, blood circulates in a continuous pattern. Anything that slows down the blood's movement, even for a fraction of a second, can result in oxygen depletion, leading to severe damage to organs. This is directly related to the blood's viscosity, its rate of flow, which is directly affected by blood composition. One of the main reasons blood flow is hindered is due to high viscosity (resistance).

Blood viscosity is four times greater than water viscosity. Water, which is not adequately magnetized, can increase blood viscosity. When blood is composed of contaminated water ,viscosity increases even more, and waste products and plaque attach more readily, creating difficulty of transporting nutrients to tissues and organs. This creates the environment for free radicals to flourish, as oxygen bonds with saturated fats in the bloodstream and attaches readily to cell membranes and vascular structures. When this build up increases over time, such as around the brain cells, calcification in the form of plaques increases and destroys brain functions, such as seen in Alzheimer's disease. When these formations occur in the vascular system, this becomes a factor in hypertension and stroke.

There has always been much controversy over "thick blood" and "thin blood". There has never been a good explanation as to what this means in relation to how blood acts as the transportation system for vital nutrients and antigens in the immune system. Blood is the creator and regulator of fluids produced in the body such as urine, sweat, gastric juices, and liquified carbon dioxide.

Thick blood is "sticky" blood. This is blood in which saturated fats, plaque and other waste products have accumulated. The thick masses of these accumulations result in certain immune-related diseases such as gout, kidney and gall stones, as well as allergies. Slowing the blood's rate of flow deprives cells, tissues and organs of vital nutrients in a timely manner. Blood must flow smoothly. Bio-magnetization keeps the blood's viscosity, or rate of flow, normal and prevents fats and plaque from accumulating on arterial walls and in cell membranes.

There have been some interesting theories about magnetic influence on circulation of blood. There are much data to support them. One is that iron in the blood's hemoglobin molecule will increase blood flow because of its ionization. Hemoglobin, per se, has no magnetic charge. However, magnetization in the blood's water can charge a hemoglobin molecule and, therefore, organize its movement. This will influence blood flow, especially the blood's viscosity.

The possibility that magnetism can influence blood flow is important to the body's healing process. This needs to be explored more thoroughly because it can be a major factor in treating immune-related diseases. Hemoglobin carries oxygen to cells. If injured or diseased cells receive more oxygen, then they should generate faster and metabolize more completely. Rather than clot as would be expected if magnetism caused iron in the blood to draw together in a clump, blood cells would actually separate when magnetism is applied.

Magnetization is necessary to regulate blood chemistry, flow and keep a pH balance. Since the blood is 90% water, it is obvious that water, which is bio-magnetized, is more effective in maintaining blood quality. But in addition to the influence magnetism has on water and blood, it also is necessary to every aspect of life. Without magnetism, the earth would spin off its axis and disappear in space. The common factor of all aspects of life is dependency on magnetism for survival.

How can normal blood chemistry and circulation be maintained? For the past three years, the Ohno Institute on Water and Health has exposed a naturally magnetized water from Japan to extensive clinical testing to determine its role in preventing, as well as improving health and aging disorders. Some consistent findings include (1) removing acidity from tissues, (2) increased cell detoxification, and (3) increased intra-cell hydration. These are significant attributes in maintaining good blood composition and circulation. We welcome practitioners to conduct their own studies with patients.

Case Studies Water and Magnets

FINDINGS FROM CASE STUDIES ON NATURALLY MAGNETIZED WATER

Early in my studies with magnetized water, I was introduced to Dr. Itami, a Japanese physician who was using magnetic water to treat his end stage cancer patients. Because there is no possibility of harmful effects, he provides this water freely. Even when his patients continue on conventional treatment, the water seems to alleviate the side effects of treatment, and the patients report less nausea and more comfort.

The following are case records of real examples of Dr. Itami' s patients who have improved with magnetic water.

A 41 year old Japanese housewife had been suffering from thyroid cancer and underwent surgery. The surgeon told the patient that the surgery was successful. One year later, she experienced chronic coughing with blood discharge. She returned to the hospital and the surgeon found that the cancer had moved into the lung. He prescribed that she begin chemotherapy immediately.

After experiencing terrible side effects from the chemotherapy, she went to Dr. Itami, who recommended magnetic water. She declined his recommendation because she did not believe that water could do any good. Dr. Itami introduced her to other patients who were drinking magnetic water. They convinced her of the healing benefits and how their symptoms were no longer active. Although she was skeptical when it was suggested that she try magnetized water to relieve the discomfort of the side effects of chemotherapy, she consented to Dr. Itami' s recommendation.

How Do Bacteria Survive?

Formation of Free Radicals in Relation to Bacteria and Magnetism in the Body

Think of unstable elements moving around the body, looking for an electron to make itself stable. It will steal an electron from wherever it can, at the expense of a stable cell, which needs the paired electrons to remain stable. When a cell loses an electron from a pair, it will lose energy and die, sacrificing itself to the "thief". This is how bacteria and cancer thrive (see Fig. 1).

Magnetism affects the electron stability of cells. Electrons of a cell are established in pairs. If one electron is lost, the cell will lose energy and die. When that electron is taken by oxygen that becomes unpaired, free radicals form and destroy cells. Magnetized water can protect cells from losing electrons, and re-stabilize the oxygen molecule. It also de-activates free radicals and protects the cell by preventing it from losing one of its electrons (see Fig 2).

Normally, bacteria in our body are stable. In fact, they are essential for our survival, such as intestinal flora found in the colon. It is only when bacteria lose an electron from a pair that they become erratic and harmful. This is how diseases related to bacteria flourish. Energy is produced through electromagnetic forces in the body. Magnetism activates the electrons surrounding the cells, and stabilizes electrons in pairs to maintain the normal structure and function of cells. Loss of an electron destroys the cell's stability, resulting in its loss of energy and the production of free radicals.

Increasing Mercury Excretion

Effect of Naturally Magnetized Water on Increasing Mercury Excretion Post Removal of Amalgam Fillings and IV-DMPS Treatment (2002). Michael Galitzer, M.D., Howard Reminick, Ph.D.Harold Ravins, D.D.S., and Yoshitaka Ohno, M.D., Ph.D.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Biological dentistry has long been a proponent of eliminating mercury in dental fillings, due to its extensive life of releasing high toxicity into the blood. Chelation is a highly effective procedure in removing mercury, as well as other heavy metals. The experimental treatment, Nariwa, a naturally magnetized water from Japan, has been studied for over five years and has been found to increase cell hydration, assimilation of nutrients into the cells, tissue detoxification and lower pH acidity. Previous uncontrolled trials with Nariwa water showed consistently higher mercury excretion levels than had previously been found after an IV-DMPS (di-mercaptopropane sulphonic acid) chelation treatment.

Purpose: Based on its history as a detoxifying agent and reports from previous trials by a biological dentist and a physician administering chelation, this study was conducted to determine if the effectiveness of Nariwa water in increasing an IV-DMPS chelation treatment in excreting mercury after removal of mercury amalgam fillings could be found in a controlled study with a large sample.

Method: 40 patients of a biological dentist who had mercury amalgam fillings removed were assigned to two groups. 20 (Experimental) were given a .5 liter bottle of Nariwa water to drink after an IV-DMPS chelation treatment administered by a physician, and 20 (Control Group) were given a commercial bottled water to drink after their chelation treatment. A six hour cumulative urine sample was collected by each Subject and submitted for a urine provocation test to determine levels of mercury excretion.

Results: The mean score of the urine provocation test for the Experimental Group (N=20) was a Mercury Excretion Value of 55.50 mg/g creatinine. The mean score for the Control Group (N=20) was a Mercury Excretion Value of 30.40 mg/g creatinine. The mean difference between groups was 25.1. The addition of drinking .5 liters of Nariwa water with an IV-DMPS chelation treatment showed an 83% greater mercury excretion effect. This is consistent with preliminary trials conducted with small samples and reports from other studies conducted by the Ohno Institute.

Conclusion: As a result of the data, Nariwa water has the potential to increase the effect of an IV-DMPS chelation treatment in excreting mercury from the body. Based on the results of this study and evidence from other studies, Nariwa should be considered as an adjunctive treatment with both IV and oral chelating agents for mercury detoxification.

Investigating Nariwa

Investigating Nariwa, a Naturally Magnetized, Bio-Energized Water from Japan as a Hydrate Base for Infusion Therapy. Yoshitaka Ohno, M.D., Ph.D. and Howard Reminick, Ph.D. Ohno Institute on Water and Health, Cleveland, Ohio.

During the course of the many studies conducted on the efficacy of Nariwa, a naturally magnetized water which I discovered in Japan, some very interesting questions were asked by the clinicians who tested this water with their patients. Results of their trials suggested that Nariwa did improve symptoms related to illnesses, as well as increase bio-energy and organ function. Analysis of this water has shown that as a result of its magnetic influence, its 74 minerals are permanently ionized. This allows the water to enter the cell wall more easily and increase conductivity, creating a "chelation effect by attracting and flushing out waste materials, helping to prevent pH acidity.

During the past four years, Nariwa water has been tested by doctors throughout the U.S. with their patients. Since many of these clinical tests reported increased cell detoxification when the subjects drank Nariwa over time, the question most frequently asked was, "Could Nariwa be used in IV therapy solutions?" Based on what I have learned about this water, I believe that this is not only feasible, but can increase the effectiveness, as well as the safety of infusion therapy. I have called this the Ohno Therapy Solution ©.

What is known about the structure, content and bio-activity of Nariwa water that gives it the potential to be an effective hydrate base for IV solutions? In 1999, Dr. Klaus Kronenberg, a world renown physicist, conducted an investigation on Nariwa water. He stated in his conclusion that" this water is, indeed, fractured (its molecules are formed and remained separated in very small, aggregated clusters. Every feature of the crystallization of its many minerals supports this water's unique structure. What makes this water unique, compared to other magnetized water sources I have studied over the past 18 years, is its ability to permanently hold this structural bond. This cannot be duplicated with the application of a magnetic device."

"Normally, water crystals will aggregate on the rim of a slide. The crystals in Nariwa water congregate in the center, which only occurs in highly fractured water with broken molecular complexes."

Through microscopy, Dr. Kronenberg was able to view the masses of seeded crystals in Nariwa water. He found that when the many clusters of its water molecules opened, it set a multitude of seed particles free to take care of the solidifying minerals. Because the aggregation of its molecules are in much smaller clusters, this water is more finely granulated. This has a greater impact on structures within our bodies. Its smaller particle size, plus its abundance of natural energy, allows its molecules to penetrate cells easily. Metabolic exchange is also faster and more abundant.

Dr. Kronenberg also froze and boiled a sample of this water and studied it again under microscopy after it returned to room temperature. His tests showed that the same results occurred.

Simply summarized, Dr. Kronenberg stated that Nariwa water is indeed unique compared to any other water source he has investigated. The combination of its structure, organization and movement create an ideal mechanism to serve as a channel for maximum hydration and absorption in the body.

In order to test the permanency of Nariwa water over time, Dr. Kronenberg took a sample of this water from a bottle that had remained in his lab for two and a half years and inspected the evaporated drops with polarized light. The crystallizations showed very little difference (less that 10%) from the ones seen previously. This convinced him that there is no significant change in the structure of Nariwa over time.

According to Dr. Kronenberg, "My early analysis of the clusters formed by water molecules were that they tended to cling together by open hydrogen bonds and other materials. In this way the clusters formed bigger cages which engulfed foreign particles. These trapped particles are not available to serve as crystallization centers. The shape of the water clusters displayed in irregular cages was an early attempt to understand the facts revealed in micrographs. When perfectly shaped H2O cages are moved through magnetic fields which alternate with a frequency that matches the frequencies of the internal oscillations of the ensuing resonance, they tend to tear these formations apart into a few large pieces. This happens with effective magnetic water treatment devices. It is well known, however, and published by most investigators using artificial magnetization that water, although successfully treated this way, loses the effects of this treatment very quickly and will re-form into their original large structures."

"This latest investigation shows that this is not the case with Nariwa water. It keeps the water clusters in the cages from re-forming. What I have learned about Nariwa water makes it capable of changing the basic shapes of water molecular clusters to be regular, perfectly shaped formations. Since this has been found with CaCO3 which were micro-photographed on the slides, there may be a similar effect with the structures of minerals and nutrients absorbed by Nariwa water in the body."

Recently, Nariwa was tested by a physician and a biological dentist as part of a post amalgam filling removal procedure with patients. Standard for this procedure is to administer DMPS, a chelant via an IV drip after amalgam filling removal is completed. A six-hour urine sample is collected and analyzed for mercury excretion. When several of the patients were given a .5 liter bottle of Nariwa to drink before urine collection, urinalysis showed a greater excretion of Mercury. A controlled study with a large sample is now underway to determine if statistical significance can be found by comparing one group consuming an unlabeled bottle of Nariwa with another group consuming an unlabeled commercial bottled water after the chelation treatment protocol has been administered.

The question now becomes, if Nariwa is effective when ingested orally, can it also be effective when infused as the hydrate base with other treatment substances? Since Nariwa can be sterilized without losing its integrity, it was submitted to rigorous clinical testing in order to determine its the safety and potential for infusion therapy.

The results of these tests provide evidence that Nariwa is considered safe and acceptable for further testing for use in IV solutions. It is my opinion that its real value is to enhance the effectiveness of the ingredients used in IV therapy solutions, not replace them. The next step is to conduct tests with lab animals and eventually with humans to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of administering Nariwa water in IV therapy.

In order to understand why I consider Nariwa to be the ideal solution as the hydrate for infusion therapies, I would like to share what I have learned about natural energy and its vital force, which allows Nariwa to be effective biologically. Natural energy is responsible for "activating" the interaction of water and magnetism throughout our bodies, manifested in Nariwa. Bio-Magnetic Hydrology is a term I coined to explain this natural phenomenon and how these natural energy forms provide for a stable, internal environment. I have found this area of study promising and worthy of exploring.

As I explored these forces of Nature and dug deep into the mystery of Natural Energy, I became aware of how water behaves in the body and its role in maintaining a healthy, internal environment. This becomes manifested in the extra cellular matrix( the area of the internal environment surrounding the cells) and the importance of water's osmolarity and magnetic influence. These distinct, yet inseparable entities may prove significant in providing answers to the mystery of energy and help validate Nariwa water.

All bodily functions take place in water, interacting with the cells. Because water is an excellent solvent, assimilation of vital nutrients and proteins can take place. Water carries these substances throughout the body to vitalize and replenish cells and protect their exterior walls. This allows functions such as metabolism, digestion, blood flow and cellular reproduction to remain normal.

However, all of these functions can be seriously disrupted when the water in the body is not suitable for proper hydration, in other words, what is known as "dead" water, or of poor quality. Instead of being a stabilizing force, "dead" water can add to the disturbance of these functions.

Magnetism is a dominating factor in all human functioning. As geomagnetism holds the earth and all life in balance, so is magnetism necessary for the human body to remain in balance. As water is the basis of life, how it is influenced by magnetism determines how effective it is in regulating all bodily functions. The body's magnetism stimulates the biochemistry needed for natural healing to take place. Healing begins and ends in the core of every cell. Because water composes most of the body, it is the medium for allowing magnetism to activate this process. Magnetism is an imaginary field associated with certain types of elements that are magnetic in nature, especially electrons.

Magnetized water can protect cells from losing electrons and re-stabilizing the oxygen in molecules. It can also help control the production of free radicals by providing lost electrons to cells. It can better communicate and transfer information from one molecule to another and, therefore, from one system or organ to another. This is made possible by the orderly arrangement of water molecules, traveling through the body as they are kept aligned by magnetization. Without active magnetization in each molecule, water will not remain orderly structured after each impulse. Messages between cells will become distorted. There will be no steady magnetic frequency or resonance.

NATURAL ENERGY

Bio-magnetism has been studied in many different sciences, such as electro-biology and neurophysiology. However, the relationship of bio-magnetism to the human energy field is just gaining attention by more open and enlightened scientists. Going beyond the world of ions, they are focusing on micro bio-magnetism, which includes studying smaller entities than ions, mainly electrons, protons and electron voids. This has provided impetus to uncover the root of natural energy and a scientific basis for understanding the disease process. (Oschman)

Regarding energy at the most fundamental level, we still do not know exactly what electricity and magnetism are. With new thinking on old theories, the time has arrived when the activities of living cells will find explanation on a physio-chemical basis, generated by the natural forces of energy. Whether the issue investigated pertains to a human or a germ, we are dealing with a mass of vibrating atoms which in their varied combinations are the basic constituents of all that exists.

The electron is a basic unit of the atom and has properties such as mass, charge and gravity. But a rational, scientific explanation of these properties related to energy is not yet available. The electron theory which most corresponds with modern scientific investigation concerning the physical basis of the material universe conceives matter to be made up of molecules, composed of atoms, which consist of electrons. These atoms of matter are individualized masses of positive electricity diffused uniformly over the area of an atom. Throughout the mass are hundreds of minute particles of negative electricity, aggressively moving about, each repelling every other particle, yet all contained within their orbits by the mass of positive electricity.

Electrons are characterized by the uniformity of their vibrations. During the revolutions of the electrons, thousands of millions of times per second, an electro-magnetic field of energy is created. Everything in nature is in a state of perpetual motion, changing from one velocity to another. Humans are merely aggregations of electrons. The power to change the state of motion of a body is energy. (Abrams)

Life is dynamic and energy is dynamic. The conversion of energy is essential to all life forms. All living things assimilate energy and use it to grow. This process is called metabolism. Metabolism is organized by enzymes, catalysts which permit formation of temporary associations with the molecules that are reacting. Cells employ these proteins as catalysts to lower activation energies. By bringing two substances together in correct orientation or by stressing particular chemical bonds of a substance, an enzyme lowers the activation energy required for new bonds to form. This creates a much faster reaction than otherwise would take place.

Because it takes energy to break chemical bonds, the bonds between the atoms of a molecule tend to hold atoms together. However, thermal energy increases atomic motion, encouraging atoms to move apart. Thermal effects tend to promote entropy; bonding reduces entropy. The net effect, the amount of energy actually available to form other chemical bonds, is the free energy of the molecule, created by magnetic energy influence.

Energy stored in chemical bonds may be transferred to new chemical bonds as electrons shift from one energy level to another. In some chemical reactions, electrons pass from one atom or molecule to another. This is called oxidation-reduction, or redox. When an atom or molecule loses an electron, it becomes oxidized. This is because oxygen, which strongly attracts electrons, is the most common electron receptor. When an atom or molecule gains an electron, it is reduced. Oxidation and reduction always take place together, because for every electron lost by one atom, one is gained by another atom.

Redox plays a major role in energy flow within the body, because the electrons that pass from one atom to another carry with them their potential energy. Because these electrons are in a state of dynamics, having not yet returned to their original low energy level, they store potential energy. When an energetic electron is removed from one atom (oxidation) and donated to another atom (reduction), it carries the energy with it, orbiting the second atom's nucleus at the higher energy level.

All chemical reactions tend to proceed toward a state of maximum disorder and minimum free energy, occurring spontaneously. Before it is possible to form new chemical bonds with less energy, it is necessary to break the existing bonds, which requires energy. The extra energy required to destabilize the existing chemical bond and initiate a chemical reaction is the activation energy. Catalysts reduce the amount of required activation energy and speed the rate of reactions without changing their final proportions.

Biological compounds are capable of resonating when they are induced by magnetic stimulation. These special compounds are called neurohormones. In addition to other anatomical sites, they reside in acupuncture points and have the capacity to oscillate when induced by stimulation, such as provided by bio-magnetism. The information contained in the oscillations passed on by the acupuncture point relay system reaches the thalamus and then on to the cerebral cortex and the autonomic nervous system.

Magnetic fields generated by cells, tissues and organs are not only useful for diagnostics, but also as part of the body's mechanism for communicating with itself and its environment. Each heartbeat, breath or emotion generates magnetic energy that travels through the extra cellular matrix where cells are imbedded to remote cells. The surrounding organized layer of water with magnetic influence can serve as a separate communication and energy channel.

THE EXTRA CELLULAR MATRIX AND WATER

Understanding how a cell maintains its integrity and is affected by energy requires understanding the role of the connective tissues in the body to the health and longevity of its internal environment. The environment of a cell is directly affected by the environment outside of the cell. Cells have a reciprocal relationship with their environment. The environment surrounding a cell consists of a structured, basic substance, which is called the extracellular matrix (ECM). This enormous space has a significant effect on determining genetic outcomes of the cell.

The ECM is the largest system in the body. It is virtually responsible for all vital functions that take place within the body. All cells depend on an intact ECM for their existence. It regulates the cell's environment and is part of every aspect of the immune system because the lymphatic system is connected with it. It takes care of cell nutrition through internal circulation of water, and the removal of wastes. Water is its primary regulation system. The ion composition of the elements in the ECM are activated in water. Disease originates in dysfunctions in this space, as it affects organs and other systems throughout the body.

The ECM provides for the communication of connective tissue over the entire body. The entire field of activity and information related to communication is contained in the extracellular fluid, which is predominately water.

More than having a supporting and space-filling function, the ECM provides regeneration for specific organ functions, as well as mediation of nerve and vascular functions. Everything that comes out of the blood takes a complicated route through the connective tissue to the cell, and then into the lymphatic system. It is even more vital to the health of the human body because the nerves and blood vessels do not come into direct contact with the cells at any point, therefore, the ECM becomes the mediator for nervous and nutritional flow.

Since the endocrine and the central nervous systems are connected in the brain stem, they are influenced by the ECM. The interconnection of these systems results in a significant increase in the performance of the ECM. The performance capacity of the ECM can only be attained by a highly functional, interconnected set of systems functioning as one. This seems to provide a strong rationale for the mind-body connection in the healing process, or the relationship of the psyche and the immune system. It also gives meaning to "the Whole is greater than the sum of its parts." (Pischinger)

OSMOLARITY

A key component in dispensing bio-energy is the interactive effect of water and bio-magnetism. Determining its effectiveness is osmosis and the osmolarity of the water in the extracellular matrix, as well as in the cells. The nature and proportion of minerals and solutes in the body's water will determine its effectiveness in hydrating, as well as detoxifying cells so a homeostatic, internal environment can be maintained. Through the influence of the body's bio-magnetism greater penetration of ions through the cell membrane, transported by water, will increase the health and stability of cells.

The diffusion of a solvent, such as water, through a selectively permeable membrane like the cell wall is called osmosis. Osmotic water flow is extremely important in the distribution of water in various body compartments, such as blood, interstitial fluid, and cells. Osmosis occurs whenever there is a difference in water concentration on the two sides of the same membrane. This osmotic activity occurs as a result the ionization of the particles in the water.

Molecules dissolved in water are in constant motion, moving about randomly. This creates diffusion, the random movement of molecules toward zones where the concentration of the molecules is lower. This tends to distribute molecules uniformly.

A balanced osmolarity can be the difference between life and death of an organism. An example is sea water, overbalanced with sodium ions, or distilled water, which can be deadly if infused because it has no osmolarity. If distilled water is present on both sides of a permeable membrane, no net osmosis occurs, even though water molecules continue to move in both directions through the membrane. If, however, the solute concentration on both sides of the membrane differs, water concentration differs as well, because as the solute concentration increases, water concentration decreases. Any changes in their concentration produce changes in water concentration on the two sides of the membrane and result in net loss or gain of water by the cell.

The human body can only maintain homeostasis if the extra cellular fluid (ECF) volume is closely regulated to maintain blood pressure and salt balance. Its osmolarity must be regulated to prevent swelling or shrinking of the cells. The maintenance of water balance is important in regulating ECF osmolarity. In order to maintain stability, the ECF must be able to respond quickly to changes in volume and osmolarity. (Sherwood).

In order for water to be the medium for any hydrate solution used in infusion, it must enhance, not deter bodily functions. It must meet the stringent criteria of safety and effective assimilation and transportation of solutes used in the specific IV solution. Using the premise that if the body is 70% water, a cell 70% and the blood 90%, then the quality, content, structure and resonance of the water used as a hydrate base for IV solutions must be optimal. Normally, water forms large molecular clusters, which slow movement and absorption into cells. Because water molecules lose order when they are not adequately magnetized, this can affect intracellular hydration. The magnetic influence of Nariwa water allows molecules to be permanently formed in small clusters, thereby increasing the order of movement, as well as absorption and delivery of solutes to cells.

Nariwa water has been tested and found to meet these criteria. Since it has been found to effectively increase cell hydration and detoxification when consumed orally, it should be given serious consideration and tested as a hydrate base for infusion therapy.

Magnetization: Water, Health and Aging

What Is The Relationship Between Magnetization, Water, Health and Aging?

Since the beginning of time, water has been critical in sustaining all life. Also important is the electromagnetic field surrounding the earth's atmosphere, which has influenced how our body functions and maintains its balance, or homeostasis. The body's stability is regulated by its own steady magnetic waveform. This waveform is affected by stress and chemical imbalance, which lowers the body's resistance to disease and aging. As geomagnetism holds the earth and all life in balance, so is its influence necessary to human functioning because our own electrochemical nature is dependent on its force.

The body has its own magnetic waveform that is influenced by geomagnetism. This helps to keep the body in balance. This magnetic wave is smooth and even when the body is stable. When the body is in a state of stress or is sick, this wave becomes unstable. It must be returned to an even pattern in order for the body to generate energy and return to stability.

Electromagnetic energy is a dominating factor in human functioning (see Fig. 2). It helps the body regulate and maintain biological integrity. The healing potential of magnetic energy is possible because the nervous system is governed by varying patterns of currents in the electromagnetic field. The magnetic field stimulates metabolism and increases the oxygen supply to cells. Magnetic field frequencies help produce an orderly alignment of molecules within the cells, therefore creating an equally orderly process of carrying nutrients into the cells and removing toxins and wastes from the cells. It can be thought of as a river: magnetization is like a calm river with currents flowing in one direction. Non-magnetization is like a river with strong currents flowing in all directions, creating chaos (see Fig. 3).

Every function such as digestion, absorption, elimination of waste products, and production of glucose for energy is possible because of electromagnetic influences in the body. Water that is influenced by magnetization becomes the primary factor in organization and movement of molecules throughout the body, due to its attraction to both external and internal magnetic forces.

Minerals absorbed in the body fluids are carried throughout the body to become "ionization agents" for all cells. The effect of electromagnetism on hemoglobin in the blood is critical. Hemoglobin, which consists of iron, is a catalyst in its role of stimulating nerve and muscle impulses.

Magnetized Water on Kidney Function

EFFICACY OF A NATURALLY MAGNETIZED WATER ON KIDNEY FUNCTION

Michael Galitzer, M.D., President, American Health Institute on Anti-Aging Medicine, Santa Monica, California, Howard Reminick, Ph.D., Yoshitaka Ohno, M.D., Ph.D., Ohno Institute on Water and Health , Willoughby, Ohio (November 1999)

INTRODUCTION

Water, which makes up over 70% of the body's structure, is the most influential and vital component which provides the body with a mechanism to maintain and restore homeostasis.(1) However, environmental changes have imposed many new pathologic influences, which have overtaxed the body's ability to remain in a state of balance.(2) Among these are toxic drinking water, and soil toxicity and mineral depletion which affect nutritional components in food. 3 The results can be seen in the rise in incidence of chronic, degenerative diseases, which are not successfully treated by conventional medicine.(4,5) In fact, this dilemma has been further compounded by the standard procedure of over-administering medications which present long-term difficulties in the body's ability to maintain its state of balance, or homeostasis.(6,7)

In order for water to be the medium for the body's ability to maintain its health and vitality, it must enhance, not deter bodily functions. Using the premise that if the body is 70% water, a cell 70% water and DNA 70% water, then the quality, content, structure and frequency of the water in the body must be optimal.

Among the many functions demanded of water in sustaining the health and stability of any living organism is its role as a solvent, catalyst and transporter. Water dissolves 80 different proteins, as well as glucose and electrolytes, and transports them to every cell.(8) Water, which composes most of the blood and bodily fluids, is responsible for activating the process in the body which allows bacteria to remain stable. Healthy bacteria, along with healthy water promote digestion, absorption and elimination of waste materials.(9)

Another important fact of physiologic function is the role of magnetism in the body in creating and maintaining an energy field. The body flourishes in an electro-chemical environment, which is activated by its response to magnetism. 10 Electromagnetic energy and the human body have a valid and important relationship.(11) Water which is naturally formed with magnetic properties and reacts with the body's magnetic influence will enhance the way the body maintains a state of balance along with its efficient use of energy.(12,13)

This study was undertaken to test what has been found in several individual case studies and clinical research on the efficacy of a naturally magnetic mineral water discovered in Japan and used with great success by physicians and healers. There are also several reports on medical uses of magnetic water in treating chronic, intractable disorders in Russia, China and Europe. With the rise in acceptance of alternative and complementary approaches to medicine, the theory post-ulated by this study has been found to follow principles being formulated by theories in new medical philosophy, such as those presented by Vibrational Medicine, Bio-Energetics and Energy Medicine. The common message among these quantum scientists is that magnetic energy is instrumental in establishing the body's ability to maximize its vital potential, and water is the key medium in the body for this to take place.(14)

HYPOTHESIS TESTED: Following a regimen of 16 ounces of naturally magnetized mineral water, study subjects will have lower urine pH and greater electrical conductivity in urine, suggesting increased kidney function and less toxicity in cells and tissues.

DESCRIPTION OF STUDY

The study was conducted at the practice of Michael Galitzer, M.D. in Santa Monica, California, between April and October of 1999. Although each subject was tracked for a three month pre/post period, the study period covered six months to allow for new patients during that period to bring the sample to 50. Fifty patients were selected randomly from among all new patients during that period as study subjects from a total of 84 eligible patients. All of these patients presented with a variety of chronic, intractable medical problems. Twenty-five were randomly assigned to the Experimental Group and 25 to the Control Group. Testing on the BTA was done as part of the patient care assessment procedure.

All patients under Dr. Galitzer's care are informed during initial visit after assessment is done and treatment regimen is established that they must commit to drinking 6-8 glasses of bottled water every day in order for the prescribed remedies to be effective. Subjects in the Experimental Group were given 90-16 ounce bottles of the experimental treatment, one bottle to be consumed per day for 90 days, as part of their required daily consumption. The Control Group drank only bottled water sold commercially.

Dr. Galitzer did not discuss the experimental treatment water with the subjects at any time during the study, other than to reinforce compliance of 6-8 glasses of water per day with both groups, unless questions arose. He did not discuss the study with any of the subjects during regular office visits.

The purpose of the study was to determine the efficacy of the experimental treatment (naturally magnetized mineral water) in improving kidney function. Each of 50 subjects was pre-tested with the Biological Terrain Assessment (BTA) on measurements of (1) urine pH and (2) resistivity (R) - concentration of mineral salts in urine. Post study measurements were repeated each subject after three months.

Although past studies have provided evidence that this water seems to react differently in the body from any other water tested by the Investigator, measurements have never been taken on the indicators tested in this study. Therefore, the magnetized water was further tested to determine if it can consistently create a positive change for anyone whose body is acidic and suffers from a chronic, intractable disease. Therefore, it did not seem necessary to establish like groups as to age, sex and medical condition. It seems that the more random the subjects the more credible the results should be. If this water deserves serious attention as an important health product, then it must be tested in further controlled studies.

Prior to the study, subjects in the Experimental Group were given information about the experimental treatment (magnetized mineral water) and a Fact Sheet about the study and the protocol. Prior to the study each Experimental Group subject was given a Consent to Participate and Release of Information form, and a Medical History form, which was completed, signed, and placed in individual files. A Report Form was also placed in each file, which was to be completed at the end of the study by Dr. Galitzer and the subject. A pre and post computerized printout of the BTA analysis was also placed in each file of both groups. This provided the raw data to be analyzed and reported.

Description of Subjects: The sample of 25 subjects in the Experimental Group consisted of 16 Males and 9 Females. Mean age was 53 years, 4 months. The 25 subjects in the Control Group consisted of 6 Males and 19 Females. Mean age was 57 years, 4 months. All subjects were being treated with homeopathic remedies and followed medically by Dr. Galitzer. Subjects and their medical problems are listed with their pre and post measurements in the Results section of this report.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TREATMENT

The treatment applied to the subjects was a daily regiment of 16 ounces of a naturally magnetized water which has been imported from Japan and under study with chronic, intractable diseases for the past five years. This water is located and naturally formed in a mountain in Japan which is permanently magnetized as a result of a sea volcano and a massive meteorite shower, which occurred within the same period over 500 million years ago. It contains 74 minerals.

Three natural conditions are created in this magnetic environment which give this water its unique qualities. First, it contains a balance of essential minerals, many of which are not found in any other water source. This includes trace minerals which have been depleted in soil and drinking water because of environmental changes. Second, its natural magnetization allows molecules to be more highly organized in structure and movement, forming smaller clusters which are more easily absorbed and utilized by cells. Third, it has a slightly higher alkaline pH, between 7.60 and 7.80, which helps keep blood from becoming acidic.

Living cells are tied together by a matrix of water molecules. Like the atoms that compose them, they are tied together by ionic bonds consisting of positive and negative charges on their outer surfaces. In order for water to form ordered, structural energy bonds around cells, there must be active magnetic influence present. Water molecules lose order when they are not adequately magnetized. Inadequate magnetized molecules will disrupt hydration around them, creating disorganized movement for both the cell and the surrounding water.

Magnetism takes place when electrons orbit around their atoms. The electrons circling around atoms resist attempts to disturb their usual orbits so they can create their own magnetic fields. If neighboring electrons are made to spin so their poles are aligned in the same direction, the cell becomes magnetically-activated. This allows a cell to remain structurally and functionally sound and resist disease.

METHOD OF MEASUREMENT

The Biological Terrain Assessment (BTA) is a new approach to health testing, which has undergone vigorous research for validity and reliability.(15) It is designed to analyze the "Deep Health" of the body by measuring indicators of cell electrochemistry and stability through blood, saliva and urine samples. It provides early evidence of biochemical imbalances in the body. It does not diagnose disease, but establishes weaknesses in the body's internal environment.

The origins of the BTA can be traced to the work of French hydrologist, Professor Louis Claude Vincent. He was commissioned by the French government in the 1950's to investigate why different areas of France had different incidences of cancer. After extensive study, he concluded that there was a direct correlation between the soil in an area and its water supply, and cancer. This led to the development of a device in Germany that could measure the blood, urine and saliva biochemistry. This was followed 20 years later in America by the BTA.

The BTA measures the ability of kidneys to remove wastes from the blood. As the cells and tissues in the body become more acidic, the blood and saliva become more alkaline. Also, as the cells become more acidic, the body tries to rid itself of acids via the kidneys and the creation of an acidic urine. Conventional medicine has determined that the normal range of urine pH is 4.5 to 8.0. This is too large a range. The first morning urine should be acidic (5.00 to 5.99) in a person with cellular acidity. Inability to acidify the first morning urine results in acids being unable to leave the body easily, ultimately creating long-term health problems. Therefore, the ability of the kidneys to produce an acidic urine is essential to maintaining health.

For the purpose of this study, the following BTA indicators were measured:

1. Urine pH The pH (acid/alkaline balance) is measured on a scale of 0 (maximum acidity) to14 (maximum alkalinity), with 7 being neutral. All body fluids, including blood, must remain at normal levels or cells loses the ability to remain balanced. The body continually struggles to keep the pH of various body fluids at proper levels. However, normal metabolic reactions, compounded by toxicity which enters the body in chemicals found in drinking water and food tend to produce higher acidity. Health deteriorates as cells become more and more acidic. The liver is the first organ which intercedes to de-acidify the body. When it is overworked, the kidneys become involved, as are the stomach, skin, lungs and colon. The BTA measurement of urine pH can indicate if our body is too acidic. Acidic urine indicates that the kidneys are removing acidity from tissues.
2. Urine Resistivity. Urine resistivity is an indicator of how effective the kidneys are in removing waste materials from blood. As the concentration of minerals increases, the resistivity decreases. The reverse is true when the concentration of minerals decreases, resulting in a less dilute urine , contributing to a weakened state of health. The BTA measures resistivity as indicated in urine in r units (Ohms).

RESULTS

ANALYSIS OF DATA: The study was conducted to determine if ingestion of magnetized water would lower urine pH, indicating removal of acidity from tissues. Results of the post study analysis found a significant increase in urine acidity in the Experimental Group, compared to the Control Group. This suggests that a daily regimen of naturally magnetized water was effective.

Mean pre-study urine pH for the Experimental Group was 6.54, compared to 6.86 for the Control Group. The mean post-study urine pH was 5.86 for the Experimental Group, compared to 7.02 for the Control Group. This is a very significant difference (12%). It should be noted that while the Experimental Group was able to achieve a lower urine pH, the urine pH of Control Group actually increased, which provides evidence that the naturally magnetized water used in this study stimulated the kidneys to acidify urine, allowing the kidneys to remove acids from the tissues through the urine.

Also measured was urine Resistivity (R). Urine R correlates well with Urine Specific Gravity. Resistivity is the inverse of conductivity, and thus is directly related to the ability of the kidneys to excrete a toxic load of mineral salts. The lower the urine resistivity, the greater the toxic load being excreted. Ideally, as many toxic materials as possible should be excreted in the first morning urine.

There was also a major reduction in urine R in the Experimental Group, compared to the Control Group. The ideal R score is 30-45. The Mean pre-study R for the Experimental Group was 112. The Mean post-study score was 77.32. This is also a significant improvement (31%). The Mean pre-study R for the Control Group was 156.16. The Mean post-study R was 137.36. Although this showed a reduction in urine R, these values are still extremely elevated, indicating persistence of reduced mineral salt excretion. (Figure 1)

DISCUSSION: Fifty patients under the care of Michael Galitzer, M.D. in Santa Monica, California were randomly selected from a list of 84 patients, regardless of medical problem being treated. All 50 consented to participate. Twenty-five subjects were then randomly selected from the sample as the Experimental Group, and the remaining 25 composed the Control Group. The only difference between the two groups was that the Experimental Group was given the experimental treatment (naturally magnetized water) and the Control Group was not.

All 50 subjects were tested on the Biological Terrain Assessment instrument. A description of this instrument is presented previously in this paper. Previous to BTA testing, all 50 subjects were instructed to undergo a 12- hour fast after the previous night's dinner and collect a first urine sample in the morning. We were most interested in comparing urine pH and urine Resistivity values during pre testing with post study testing values.

Analysis of data indicates significant improvement in the Experimental Group, as measured by a significant decrease in their urine pH and urine Resistivity. The Experimental Group was able to acidify the urine and greatly increase their excretion of toxic mineral salts.

The Control Group was unable to acidify their urine, and had a minimal improvement in urine Resistivity. Their post study urine R values were still quite abnormal, indicating a very dilute urine with reduced concentrations of mineral salts. (Figure 2 & 3)

CONCLUSION

The BTA measures the ability of kidneys to remove wastes from blood cells. As the cells and tissues in the body become more acidic, the blood and saliva become more alkaline. The causes of cellular acidity directly contributes to poor health and aging.

Based on the significant improvement in tests of urine pH and urine resistivity, as measured with the Biological Terrain Assessment instrument, a daily regimen of 16 ounces of naturally magnetized water was shown to be significant in lowering urine pH, and promoting excretion of acids and toxic mineral salts, suggesting an increased ability of the kidneys to remove toxic wastes from the body. This can be important in long term health maintenance and healthier aging.

The Primary Investigator has conducted several studies on naturally magnetized water with different medical problems. Results have consistently shown significance in reduction of symptoms and improvement in lab test values. More studies are being conducted at several study sites to collect and report more data, in order to establish more conclusive evidence on the efficacy of this naturally magnetized water on physiologic functions.

Magnetized Water; Amalgam Fillings

EFFECT OF NATURALLY MAGNETIZED WATER WITH IV-DMPS TREATMENT ON INCREASING MERCURY EXCRETION POST REMOVAL OF AMALGAM FILLINGS (2002)

Michael Galitzer, M.D., American Health Institute, Los Angeles, CA, Howard Reminick, Ph.D. and Yoshitaka Ohno, M.D., Ph.D., Ohno Institute on Water and Health, Cleveland, OH, Harold Ravins, D.D.S., Center for Holistic Dentistry, Los Angeles, CA.

INTRODUCTION

The field of biological dentistry is rapidly gaining acceptance as an alternative to traditional, mainstream dentistry because of its sound health principles and practices, and attention to toxicology. Although it has made inroads among a more informed public, it still maintains the reputation as "new age" and controversial, due to the resistance from the established dental industry and the political pressure of the American Dental Association. Two controversial areas practiced in biological dentistry which draw criticism from mainstream dentists are removal of mercury amalgam fillings and chelation. With more and more studies under way to provide sound, scientific evidence on the value of these two practices, leaders in the field will soon be able to establish guidelines and policies, leading to its acceptance as an equal provider of mainstream dental care.

In order to add to the body of knowledge which exists in biological dentistry, this study was conducted to investigate whether a natural substance, Nariwa naturally magnetized water, known for its ability to detoxify tissues, promote assimilation and transportation of nutrients into the cells, and increase cell hydration can complement the chelating effect of DMPS (di-mercaptopropane sulphonic acid), a sulfur- containing chelating agent used to promote the excretion of mercury from the body after the removal of dental amalgams.

Previous to this study, through the interest and curiosity of Dr. Harold Ravins, a biological dentist in Los Angeles, Nariwa water was provided to a few of his patients to drink after an IV-DMPS chelation treatment, following an amalgam removal procedure. Although this was not a controlled study, consistently better results on urinalysis was reported with this small patient sample than had been seen in urinalysis of patients who had not had access to this water. It was hypothesized, therefore, that a controlled study with a larger sample could provide data with more statistically significant results.

To support the significance of conducting this study, a brief description of biological dentistry and chelation is presented in order to offer a position for their validation as sound, clinical procedures, and a rationale for Nariwa water as the experimental treatment in this study.

Biological Dentistry and Mercury Detoxification

1. The Dental Amalgam Issue: Dental amalgam, a mixture of mercury and a silver-dominated alloy, has been the most widely used dental filling material for over a century. Amalgam, more commonly known as "silver fillings", is made from 50% mercury, 35% silver and 15% tin, or tin mixed with copper and a trace of zinc. The toxic effects of mercury exposure have been known for a long time, but not until about 1980 was serious consideration given to the possibility that mercury vapor escaping from amalgam fillings might be seriously affecting health. There is clinical evidence from environmentally ill patients that the heavy metals from dental fillings and multiple chemical exposures act in unison to toxify and stress the patient, causing disease.

There are over 125 known symptoms of mercury toxicity. Although most reports are vague and nonspecific, there is much evidence to support the role of mercury toxicity in heart disease, multiple sclerosis, and even Alzheimer's disease. The official position of the American Dental Association on amalgam is that not enough mercury is released to pose a hazard, despite hard evidence to the contrary. Dental schools have long taught that when mercury is bound to silver in the amalgam, it does not escape to create toxicity within the body.

Unlike the United States, however, Germany has produced guidelines for limiting the use of amalgam fillings, and Sweden is phasing out amalgam fillings entirely. Many other countries have begun reducing its use. These same countries are calling for studies which can lead to international public health policies on this highly controversial area.

The process of removing amalgam fillings exposes the patient to localized concentrations of mercury dust and vapor. It is not uncommon for illness to occur following removal of amalgams. Dentists must take precaution when removing these fillings in order to limit the patient's exposure to the debris and vapor from this process. It is becoming highly desirable to include an IV chelation treatment following this procedure.

2. The Dental Chelation Issue: In order to achieve lasting benefit from removal of mercury from fillings, it is also necessary to remove accumulated mercury from tissues. To achieve this, mercury must bind to a chelating agent. Mercury and certain other metals, such as arsenic and antimony bind to sulphydryl groups. Of the chelating agents available, DMPS (di-mercaptopropane sulphonic acid) has been most successful when administered with IV infusion. Also used successfully is DMSA, an oral chelating agent. Another, EDTA, is also used by many doctors.

These chelating agents are used to excrete mercury from the body via measurements of urine mercury after dosing. In order to test the effect of chelation, a six-hour Urine Provocation Test is commonly done. This test reveals the effect of DMPS in promoting the excretion of a large amount of mercury. All "potentially toxic elements", such as mercury, are reported as m/g creatinine. This reduces the margin of error which can be introduced by variation in urine sample volume. Hair analysis can also be used to determine overall body loading with mercury.

Early signs of mercury contamination include: decreased senses of touch, hearing, vision and taste, metallic taste in the mouth, fatigue or lack of physical endurance, and increased salivation. Symptoms may progress with moderate or chronic exposure to include: anorexia, numbness, and paresthesias, headache, hypertension, irritability and excitability and immune suppression. Advances in mercury toxicity include tremors and incoordination, anemia, psychoses, manic disorders, autoimmune disorders and renal dysfunction or failure.

Very recent research has shown the presence of mercury in myocardial muscles of patients suffering from cardio-myopathy. The concentration of mercury was found to be over 10,000 times greater than that of heart muscles of control patients. These abnormal results correlated with the severity of the heart failure and electrical instability. Comparative studies show that urine mercury concentration has a 60 times greater increase after DMPS is administered to patients with amalgams, a 30 times increase in urine of dental personnel without amalgams, and a 10 times increase in those people who have amalgams removed, followed by chelation. This indicates that there are higher levels of mercury retained in the tissues of people who have amalgam fillings. It is also an indicator of the efficacy of DMPS chelation.

3. Bio-Magnetic Hydrology - The Interactive Effect of Water and Bio-Magnetism: A Rationale for Nariwa Water as a Detoxifying and Hydrating Agent:

For maximum detoxification to take place, two physiological premises must be considered: 1) the body's water must be capable of providing an internal environment to allow for homeostasis, and 2) there must be adequate magnetic influence to allow the water to activate the body's energy and physiology, required for the detoxification process.

Does magnetization do anything to change the physical properties of water? Magnetized water exhibits a change in the strength with which water molecules are able to bond with one another. This bonding ability tends to change the way water molecules interact with each other and could possibly produce major changes in the strength of their activity within the cells.

Magnetized water has been shown to be effective in breaking down, dissolving and flushing mineral and salt build up. Russian and Indian magnetotherapists have reported that this has occurred with patients with kidney and gall stones who have been treated with magnetized water.

All of the body's chemistry is conducted in water. Any chemical exchange must be activated by bio-magnetism. Bio-magnetism allows the water to be more active in ionic exchange, thus promoting greater metabolic functioning. By applying the findings of several studies on water and bio-magnetism as an interactive force in creating a better internal environment by detoxifying and hydrating tissues, as well as increasing bio-activity, it seems reasonable to expect the process of bio-magnetic hydrology to be effective in complementing the chelation effect of DMPS in mercury excretion.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The purpose of the study was to test the efficacy of drinking Nariwa water following the first IV-DMPS chelation treatment of patients who had completed removal of their mercury amalgam fillings, on increasing mercury excretion, as measured by a six- hour, accumulated urine analysis following the procedure.

SUBJECTS: N=40

Age Range              X Age
   Experimental Group - N=20: 33-77        49.25
   Control Group - N=20: 33-59        42.40
Sex:
   Experimental Group: Male = 9        Female = 11
   Control Group: Male = 13        Female = 7

The study spanned a period of six months, January to July, 2002, until 40 Subjects were tested.

METHODS

Procedures:

1. Dental Amalgam Removal and Replacement

Subjects were patients of Dr. Harold Ravins, a biological dentist in Los Angeles, and were among those who had mercury amalgam fillings removed and replaced with direct light cured composite. The amalgam filling is removed under a controlled environment for the main purpose to prevent the inhalation of the inorganic mercury vapors by the patient and treating staff. The following are the procedures used on all the patients for this study:

1. Patient is placed in a ionically air sterilized operating room.
2. The tooth in which the filling is removed is isolated with a rubber dam.
3. Pure oxygen is given to the patient to inhale during the entire operation.
4. Dental acupuncture is administered for stress management.
5. High powered suction is used during the amalgam removal.
6. All cavities after removal of amalgams are washed with a solution of an antioxidant and Nariwa water.
7. Fillings were replaced with direct light cured composite.

Following this procedure, 40 Subjects were alternately assigned to the Experimental Group ( 20 Subjects given .5 liters of Nariwa water to drink after chelation, and to the Control Group (20 Subjects given commercial bottled water to drink after chelation), and sent to Dr. Michael Galtizer for an IV-DMPS chelation treatment.

2. IV-DMPS Chelation Treatment

All Subjects in the study received a dose of DMPS, 150 mg IV push over a three minute span after completion of amalgam removal and replacement. DMPS (di-mercap- topropane sulphonic acid) is an antidote for treatment of acute and chronic toxic metal toxicity. It is a substance with low systemic and local toxicity and is generally well tolerated with long term use. Animal studies indicate that it does not cross over the blood brain barrier. Efficacy studies have been reported in Environmental Health Perspective, 106(4), 1998, as well as in several other scientific journals.

After the chelation treatment, each Subject collected a six-hour urine sample, which was sent to Doctor's Data for analysis of mercury excretion. Results were sent to Dr. Galitzer and data was computed and analyzed.

3. Six-Hour Accumulated Urine Provocation Test

Urine toxic element analysis is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and confirmation of toxic elements and monitoring detoxification therapy. A post-provocation urine elements analysis involves a urine collection following a chelation treatment. Provoked urinary levels of heavy metals such as mercury, to which chelation agents can bind, provides valuable information as to the efficacy of the provocation.

For increased convenience, urine toxic metal results are reported in standardized units that allows ease of comparative tests. A post-provocation 6 hour collection will be reported in units per mg creatinine (an element in urine used as a comparative standard in measuring excretion values). The increased excretion in the urine of toxic metals are usually used for assessing the clinical efficacy for chelating agents.

EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENT - Nariwa Water

As a result of the many years spent researching the interactive effect of water and magnetism in the body, the Ohno Institute on Water and health coined a term, bio-magnetic hydrology. This seems to express this field of study and allows for theories to be formulated regarding the difference between the naturally magnetized water used as the experimental treatment in this study and other water sources, including those that are magnetized with devices. This water is named Nariwa, for the remote village in Japan where the source of this water exists. Its uniqueness is due a mountain which was formed by an active volcano, bombarded by a huge meteorite shower millions of years ago. The mountain's environment is magnetic, which creates the ionization of the minerals found in this water. The water is bottled and sealed at its source and shipped to the United States.

For the past four years, the Ohno Institute has been conducting clinical testing and analyses with doctors and other health care practitioners throughout the United States with this water. These studies have revealed four consistent outcomes among patients suffering from a variety of chronic and serious diseases: 1) detoxification of tissues, 2) increased cell hydration, 3) greater assimilation and transportation of nutrients into the cells, and 4) maintaining pH balance in blood and tissues.

Results of trials suggest that Nariwa improved symptoms related to illnesses, as well as increased bio-energy and organ function. Analysis of this water has shown that as a result of its magnetic influence, its minerals are permanently ionized. This allows the water to enter the cell wall more easily and increase conductivity, simulating a "chelation effect by attracting and flushing out waste materials and helping to control pH acidity.

During the past four years, Nariwa water has been tested by doctors throughout the U.S. with their patients. Since many of these clinical tests reported increased cell detoxification when the subjects drank Nariwa over time, the question most frequently asked was, "Could Nariwa be used as a hydrating agent to enhance the effects of both IV and oral chelation therapy?" Based on what has been learned about the interaction of water and magnetism in the body, as well reports from studies on Nariwa water, this is a feasible assumption.

Numerous studies on DMPS as a chelating agent in removing mercury from the body have been reported. However, no studies similar to this one using a selected water as a complement to a chelating agent have been reported in the literature.

The Mean Score for the Experimental Group (Nariwa water) was 55.50.
The Mean Score for the Control Group was 30.40.

Mean Score Difference = 25.1 greater for Experimental Group versus Control Group.

Percent Difference = 83% greater mercury excretion level for Experimental Group versus Control Group

DISCUSSION

The addition of drinking .5 liters of Nariwa water to an IV-DMPS chelation treatment showed an 83% greater mercury excretion effect for 20 Subjects over a sample of 20 Subjects who had chelation without drinking Nariwa water. This is consistent with preliminary, uncontrolled trials conducted with small samples of patients from the same dental practice (Dr. Harold Ravins), who had urinalysis after having mercury amalgam fillings removed and drank Nariwa water after chelation. According to the physician and Primary Investigator of this study, patients in this sample showed higher levels of mercury excretion than had been seen in patients previously tested who had not had Nariwa water after chelation treatments. This served as the basis of conducting the larger, controlled study reported here.

After the study was completed, an interesting case was reported and is worthy as a footnote. A patient received an IV-DMPS chelation treatment after removal of mercury amalgam fillings and drank .5 liters of Nariwa water. The results of the six- hour urine provocation test showed 390 m/g creatinine excretion. The report from Doctor's Data stated, "This individual's urine mercury exceeded over twice the maximum expected level". According to the attending physician, the extreme level of mercury found in the urine seems indicative of the symptoms presented by the patient. However, this is far over the levels seen in past patients. The only difference may be due to the chelating effect of the Nariwa water.

Results of previous studies with Nariwa water, conducted by the Ohno Institute, have reported consistent positive effects of cell hydration, as measured on the Biological Impedance Analysis; cell detoxification, as measured by the Biological Terrain Analysis, and an increase in bio-energy of body meridians and organ systems, as measured by Electric Acupuncture according to Vol (EAV). A study done with Alzheimer's residents in an assisted living facility showed a statistically significant difference between subjects who drank Nariwa water for 24 weeks versus subjects who drank a municipal water source on memory retention, as measured on the Combined Blessed-Folstein Test on Cognitive Functioning.

The Ohno Institute has gathered data from 235 patient trials by physicians throughout the U.S., who reported that over 80% of those who drank Nariwa water showed improvement on various health factors, as measured and reported by their attending physicians. Additional information on findings regarding Nariwa water can be found by logging on to www.ohno.org.

DMPS is being used as a chelating agent by a growing number of physicians who are concerned about the dangerous effects of heavy metals in the body and their relationship to many chronic, intractable diseases. It is being dispensed in both IV solutions and orally by compound pharmacists. Other chelating agents such as DMSA and EDTA are also becoming popular chelating agents. One of the pioneers and leaders in chelation therapy is Dr. Gary Gordon, who developed chelation protocols over 30 years ago, and whose protocols are widely used by physicians who practice chelation treatment. Dr. Gordon has consistently reported through his studies that chelation does remove heavy metals such as mercury. The Primary Investigator of this study has incorporated chelation, which has shown to enhance patient outcomes, as an integral part of his practice.

For the past four years, the Primary Investigator has given Nariwa water to patients as a health supplement and has seen positive results in symptom changes. Although there is not sufficient evidence to make any claims regarding cause and effect, there are strong, noticeable indicators that show that Nariwa water does have therapeutic value. Since mercury has an affinity for the urinary tract, and since DMPS causes mercury to be excreted via the kidneys, it would be ideal to add a hydrating substance such as Nariwa water that stimulates kidney drainage. Nariwa water has been shown by the Investigators to improve kidney function, as measured by the parameters of first morning urine pH and Resistivity (R) in Biological Terrain Analysis. More studies of this type need to be conducted.

As a result of the data reported in this study, Nariwa water has the potential to increase the effect of an IV-DMPS chelation treatment in excreting mercury from the body. Based on the results of this study and evidence from other studies, Nariwa water should also be considered as an adjunctive treatment with oral chelating agents for mercury detoxification.

Maintaining Intracellular Hydration with Water

The Importance of Water in Maintaining Intracellular Hydration 

Fluid fluctuations affect blood volume and intracellular hydration levels. This can be life threatening. When the amount of fluid within various cellular compartments is relatively constant, there is an exchange of solutes and water between compartments to maintain unique compositions. Individuals with more body fat have proportionately less total body water and are more susceptible to fluid imbalances that cause dehydration.

Total body water percentage decreases with age, resulting in inadequate cellular hydration. Most critical is the decrease in the ratio of intracellular hydration. The normal ratio is 60% intracellular, 40% extracellular. The reason for change in this ratio is due in part to an increase in fat along with a decrease in muscle, and a decreased ability of the body to regulate sodium and water balance. With age, kidney function becomes less efficient in producing urine, and responses for conserving sodium weaken.

The body must continuously be in a proper state of hydration. Because 2.5 liters of water is lost each day through normal bodily functions, this must be replaced. There are two major issues that emphasize the need to keep the body adequately hydrated with water of the best quality, content, and structure so it can maintain homeostasis. First, the water we put in our body must be able to prevent toxins and chemical substances from accumulating and creating destructive influences on cells. Water must bring all minerals and nutrients required for cell metabolism, and remove any substances that can damage the cell. It must also be able to protect cell walls from damage and invasion. Second, since water is involved in every function of the body, it must act as a conductor of electrochemical activity, such as neurotransmission, by moving water from one nerve cell to another smoothly and effectively.

Movement of water in the body between cells (extracellular fluid) is caused by osmosis. This is created by magnetic forces in the body, which keep the movement in balance. As water flows, changes in pressure create movement across the cell membranes. Any changes in pressure will allow proteins, minerals and other nutrients being carried by the blood to escape into spaces between vessels and deprive the cells of their vital needs to sustain life. When water in the blood is contaminated with chemicals, it enters the cells and changes their structure, which in turn could lead to changes in DNA. This is the start of the disease process, which is very similar to the aging process.

Nariwa: Japan's Ancient Magnetic Mountain

Why Nariwa is, a  Naturally Magnetized Water from Japan's Ancient Magnetic Mountain, different?

Much research has been conducted on the effects of this unique water on the body's response systems. Reports from studies suggest that this water can help the body resist disease and slow aging by:

• Increasing Intracellular Hydration
• Replacing Depletion of Essential Minerals
• Stabilizing and Protecting Cells
• Helping To Maintain Normal Blood Flow and pH
• Flushing Out and Preventing Wastes from Accumulating in Cells
• Preventing Free Radicals from Forming

The history of this uniquely remarkable water explains why it has the potential to have such positive health effects. According to geological records obtained in Japan, a sea volcano erupted millions of years ago and rose to the surface, becoming a mountain. This occurred within a geological period that a huge meteorite shower poured down in this region of Japan. As a result, the magnetite from the meteorites bonded with the limestone and granite in the mountain, and created a continuous magnetic environment for the water in this particular mountain.

Because this water has been in the same location, undisturbed and unaffected by time, many legends have become popular throughout history for those living in this area. One of the earliest dates back to around the 10th century A.D. After a drought that lasted many years, the people prayed for their gods to send rain. Even though their prayers had always been ignored in the past, water began to flow from this mountain and created a natural spring.

In the 13th century, the Emperor, who was terminally ill, sought out a place to die. After being brought to the place where this water had been, he was served it daily by the people and was healed. He brought this water back to his palace in Kyoto and distributed it to his Court, where health improvement was documented. This water became known as the "Emperor's Water". Nothing was ever written about this specific water by the Japanese people, and it remained a secret for centuries.

Nariwa water can retain its magnetic properties because of its high mineral content. Up to 74 minerals have been detected in this water through tests conducted at certified labs in Japan. Because of its natural magnetization these minerals are naturally ionized. Unlike artificially magnetized water, the magnetization in Nariwa remains permanently, even after it is removed from its source, bottled, and stored for long periods of time.

Because it is totally natural, it contains no chemicals or toxins found in general water supplies. It also contains several trace minerals no longer found in our water or soil. It has been exposed to scientific testing and has been found to create changes in the body's internal environment. This water is tested regularly, both in the U.S. and Japan for its safety and content, and meets or exceeds all EPA standards. Readings on magnetization in the water report a very safe, but effective gauss level.

Another important feature which helps explain its health benefit is that its pH value is between 7.60 and 8.00, making Nariwa slightly alkaline, which has been shown to be important in helping control acidity in body fluids.

The most unique feature of Nariwa is the formation and organization of its molecules (see Fig 1). Unlike regular water, Nariwa is naturally formed in smaller clusters of 5 or 6 molecules. Because of its natural magnetization, these clusters are more organized and move in an orderly pattern throughout the body. Nariwa has a higher density than other water, even to water that has been artificially magnetized. This increases the stability of the molecules, and in turn, also helps to keep the cells themselves more stable.

These magnetized molecules pass readily through the cell membrane into the cell nucleus for better delivery of nutrients (see Fig. 2). They also can attract toxins and waste materials in the cells and flush them out of the body, creating somewhat of a chelation effect (see Fig. 3).

 

When cells are studied under a MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), the water inside looks and behaves very differently. Molecules are formed in smaller clusters and are in a linear arrangement. The molecules are lined up and move in and out of cells in an orderly fashion. When water is photographed after being removed from the MRI, molecular clusters will increase to as much as 30 to 40 molecules per cluster and become disordered, as they begin to cluster with neighboring water. When diseased cells in cancer are studied, the water moves very randomly and violently through the cells. Nariwa molecules are thought to function in a similar manner to water that is under a MRI all the time.

Relationship of Magnetism to Cell Stability

Why Is Magnetization Important To The Human Body? 

The electrons circling around atoms resist attempts to disturb their usual orbits, so they can create their own magnetic field. As a result, the atoms behave like little magnetic needles, all which point in a direction opposite to the field which is being applied. When like poles face each other, there is a strong resistance.

Magnetism takes place when electrons orbit around their atoms. Electrons have a property called spin, which makes them act like miniature magnets with two opposite poles. If neighboring electrons are made to spin so their poles are aligned in the same direction, it becomes magnetic. Iron is very easy to magnetize because it has lots of surplus electrons that will line up easily. But some non-metallic substances also have enough spare electrons to this without much difficulty. Nariwa water, with an abundance of natural minerals which react to the water's magnetism, is structured to provide this magnetic activity.

The biochemical process in ionic exchange of minerals for cell metabolism further explains the necessity of how Nariwa water works in the body. Sodium and glucose enter cells. Glucose is required to create cell energy. The sodium is also exchanged with potassium. When sodium and glucose are not fully metabolized with calcium and therefore, remain in cells, the result is diabetes. When sodium is not fully metabolized with calcium and remains in the cell, the result is hypertension. When hydrogen is not metabolized with calcium and remains in the cell, the result is acidosis.

The Quality of Water is Important

Why Is the Quality of Water We Put In Our Body Essential to Health and Aging? 

The mystery of understanding disease and aging begins with knowing what our body needs throughout its lifetime to maintain health and vitality. Premature, unnatural aging can result from loss of water volume and the body being continuously exposed to contaminated water. Another major factor is the body's inability to adequately assimilate essential minerals and nutrients.

A major problem in maintaining health during aging is a result of years of medications that have accumulated in the tissues. Even when a disease is treated successfully with drugs, the cells still retain the germs in a latent state along with the toxins of the medications that had been used to destroy them. As the body ages and the immune system declines, this makes it possible for disease to re-emerge.

Water, which makes up over 70% of our body composition, is the most influential and vital component that provides the body with the ability to maintain health and prevent its deterioration. This can only happen if the quality, content, and structure of the water meets the body's requirements. For water to be most effective in our body, it is necessary for it to contain minerals that haven been completely assimilated in order to nourish and protect the cells. It should have a slightly higher alkaline pH, which is necessary to assure that the body fluids do not become and remain acidic, resulting in illness and more rapid aging.

However, because of contamination in our environment such as toxic wastes and chemical additives, food and water have been depleted of critical minerals necessary for metabolism. As a result, the body's chemistry becomes unbalanced, and destructive substances known as free radicals form. These free radicals destroy cells and cause the body in general to deteriorate.

Why is pH important?

The Body's pH Acidity Can Increase Disease and Aging Problems

The pH of blood and body fluids must be balanced in order for the body's vital processes to function normally. Normal blood pH has a very small window of acid/alkaline pH balance.

Blood pH must range between 7.35 and 7.45. This means that there is an adequate amount of oxygen in the blood. Any slight decrease in pH will result in lower oxygen levels in the blood and, therefore, in the cells. Any drop in pH, no matter how slight, is the beginning of a disease state and affects when we age and how we age.

What is the chemistry of water that determines acidity or alkalinity? Acidic water contains more H+ ions than OH- ions. Electrons that compose water molecules are negatively polarized, which give them the ability to create the dynamic environment of the molecule. When electrons are lost, the molecule loses its ability to keep its pH balance.

Water with more OH- ions is alkaline. When the ions in water are balanced, it is neutral water. There is overwhelming evidence on why ion balance is critical to physical and emotional wellbeing of the body. If acidic minerals such as chlorine are added to drinking water, the amount of H+ ions increases because the hydrogen atoms give electrons away to the acidic minerals. Nariwa water is effective in balancing and keeping electron stability in ions because of its abundance of electrons.
