How Can You Possibly Make Water "Wetter"?!

When I first read about this smaller cluster, "wetter" water stuff I said, "Yeah, right. This sounds pretty hocus pocus to me." But like everything, I was at least willing to put this theory to the test.

Up until that point, I had been drinking reverse osmosis water that we create at home. I had been drinking more of this reverse osmosis water over a period of several years but that extra water came with a price. That is, I was having to urinate more frequently because of the extra water I was drinking.

Then I learned about alkaline water, ORP, the clusters of H2O, etc. At that point I switched from our reverse osmosis water to water that was alkaline, had an ORP of around -100 millivolts and smaller molecule cluster groupings.

Within a week or so, I was surprised to find myself actually craving this new water. So I ended up drinking a lot more of it. But something was missing.

I couldn't figure it out until one day it dawned on me. I had been drinking almost twice as much water as before but with this new water I was only having to urinate half as much!

It didn't take me long to conclude that the reason was because my body was absorbing this new water much more than the reverse osmosis water. And why was my body absorbing it more? Because the H2O molecules of the new water were in much smaller clusters than the old reverse osmosis water. The water was indeed "wetter" and my body was soaking it up whereas before a lot of it was just passing right through me.

I tell you, it was like night and day it was so obvious. Even my brother who saw me drinking so much water without having to visit the bathroom said to me, "Andy, don't you have to pee from drinking so much water?" And I answered, "Nope, not any more." And then I told him about this new, structured water I was drinking. Interesting, wouldn't you say? By the way, this new water I was drinking was from a sophisticated water ionizer I had bought. More on this later.

So now you know about what kind of water you should drink in order to build healthy blood; highly alkaline water with a negative ORP and small H2O molecule clusters.

But what about all the thousands of other liquid choices you have? Well, let's look at a few… starting with all these healthy fruit juices that are available these days.

First of all, you need to understand an important distinction. There is an enormous difference between fresh, non processed, whole fruit and fruit juice you buy in a bottle or can. The two are worlds apart. One of the biggest differences is pH. Even though an apple may be slightly alkaline in its raw, whole, unprocessed form, any process such as cooking, freezing, canning or preserving with sugars or chemicals or pasteurization will greatly reduce the fruit's alkaline value. In fact, virtually all apple juice that you find in stores, even the "naturally processed" variety, is quite acid.

And what about these new, exotic fruit juices you are hearing about these days? Well, there have been some very interesting studies of these juices, such as Noni, Goji, Xango, Mangosteen and others. When tested for pH, they have been found to be extremely acid, as low as 2.5 to 3.5 on the pH scale. This is really, REALLY acid!

Just how acid is this? Well, keep in mind that the pH scale is in measurements that are exponential. This means that one well known exotic fruit juice that was tested with a pH of 3.65 was approximately 5,000 times more acidic than drinking water that has a pH of 7. That's just how acid these fruit juices are.

And remember the ORP values we talked about earlier? Where alkaline water showed an ORP value of -100 millivolts or lower? Well, these supposed healthy fruit juices show ORP values of +250 to +450 millivolts. This shows they have high concentrations of acidic hydrogen ions, just exactly the opposite of what you want to be putting into your body. So keep yourself (and your kids) away from these fruit juices.

Next week, I'll show you some good water filter/ionizer sources and even show you how you can structure your own water into healthy, alkaline water. And in 3 weeks, in the next issue of Foundations of Health, we'll look at the some other common liquids that people drink and whether or not they are good raw materials for building healthy blood.
