Carbonic Gas

Last Friday I was in Lyons , Oregon taking part in a water experimentation involving what is known as “carbonic gas”.  The problem typically involves well water and many times people who utilize Enagic machines (or any type of water ionizer) struggle with this complication.  (To be exact, the only municipal water I’ve ever found with this issue was in Tigard , Oregon where the Willamette River breeds all manner of complications as anyone who lives local to the area is all-too-familiar.)  But back to the point…carbonic gas is not a well-understood complication.  Truly few have heard of it and fewer still understand it.  It involves rain water or surface water which picks up carbon dioxide.  This CO2 is then held in suspension unless acted upon by enough filtering dirt or calcium, etc.  It turns out this is prevalent in well water throughout the Western side of the state.  We have typically soft water with low mineral counts and while each well is different, it affects many of the people who purchase our machines.  They simply cannot retain the properties of Kangen Water® the way the rest of us can.   Traveling around like I do, I’ve seen well waters that, after treating them with an Enagic machine begin a gradual decline in properties ranging from a few minutes to literally a few seconds.  The ultimate challenge I witnessed was a well in Scappoose.  The water coming directly out of our machine there in Scappoose measured a pH of somewhere upwards of 9.0 as it hit the bottom of an empty cup and by the time it splashed to the top, it had reverted to a pH of somewhere around 6.0 !!!  It shocked me!  That is a change in pH of 1,000 times!!  (The lady of the house had cancer.  Is it any surprise?) 

 

My wife, who is a chemist working for one of the largest laboratory chains in the US , had the water from one of these wells tested.  The technicians who tested it did discover what we were describing, but were unable to determine how to rid the water of it.  Since then I’ve spoken with water quality technicians around the country and while those select people recognize the issue, none have been able to adequately provide a remedy.  So that is what is I was involved with on Friday.  I came into contact with a (younger) man who just earned his water quality certifications, and who recently graduated from Oregon State University .  He is now  interested in trying to solve this puzzle.  He and I mixed and matched various compounds (“medias”) and ran the results through a machine connected to a well producing water with carbonic gas and measuring 6.5pH which is obviously too acidic.  While we certainly were able to improve the situation and make Kangen Water® that was at least passable, he and I were unable to make it exact.  He has a scientific mind-set and is personally intrigued by trying to figure out how to unlock this door.  Of course that is what I’ve been wanting to discover for some time, so I’m greatly looking forward to what may come of it!!  I certainly did not fail to inform him that I’ll keep him busy with this if we can put keys to this puzzle! 

 

Gallbladder Stones

Last night a fellow called me stating that he “had been drinking Kangen Water and that he had now developed gall bladder stones”.  He had been in the hospital twice in the last 5 weeks.  They wanted to remove his gall bladder and he was afraid of that.  He is up in years and did not want any surgery nor to remove any organs.  Of course I agreed with that thinking and the complications of removing the gall bladder are arguably much worse than the pain of having stones!  Still,  the question remained, “Why did he develop gall stones while drinking Kangen Water?”  During our conversation I learned that he had been getting water from a friend of mine.  However….and here’s where it changed…. I also knew my friend had taken his machine and left the state for 3 months to restore health for an ailing relative! (There’s another story in the making for another day.)  Anyway, once I realized that, I put it together.  The fellow with the machine had been gone for 2 months.  Thus the guy had not had any water for a least a solid week prior to his first discomfort.  Now it made sense.  The alkaline water dissolves the calcification and build-up of cholesterol and bile salts which is usually the cause of gall stones in the first place.  Without the water, calcification was occurring.  I advised him to purchase his own machine.  That way his water is fresh, convenient, always at it’s best, and he’s not dependent upon anyone else for the healing benefits of KW.
