The Remarkable Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Electrolyzed Reduced Water

This section was removed from The Vitality Code (due to word count), by my editors. This is highly valuable. 

As you’ll have seen in The Vitality Code, I encourage you at the very least, to invest in a high-quality water filtration jug or a system that removes toxins, but leaves the minerals. Reverse Osmosis removes everything – including the minerals. It is possible to become mineral deficient by drinking RO water if one is not mindful about replacing the minerals in other ways. If you do invest in RO, then either have a system that replaces minerals, or consume trace minerals. 

How to go about drinking clean water?

Level 1 of drinking water is making sure it is toxin free by investing in a high quality filter.

Level 2 of drinking water is making sure it is electrically charged. The next section discusses electrolysed water, and its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant prowess.

Level 3 of drinking water includes the above two, and then “structuring” the water.

In summary, drinking the purest water money can buy is important for Vitality. As close as you can to properties of water found in nature is highly recommended. It’s clearly not practical for most of us to drink straight from a spring, but thanks to technology there are ways of drinking water that mimics properties of water of certain “healing springs” around the world.

Drink Energized Water

You know that water is our #2 most important fuel for our cells. This is not unknown, yet few people will acknowledge that they’re not drinking sufficient amounts of pure water. The first stage of hydration is drinking toxin-free water, and the purest of water money can buy. The next stage is understanding that there is more to water than you might realize and upgrading to a form that mimics properties of water found in nature that contains profound healing properties.

Here we will cover:

• An extraordinary case study of reversal of an “incurable” illness with a specific type of water
• Hidden properties of healing springs
• Clinical studies on electrolysed reduced water
• Anti-inflammatory effects and antioxidants

Five years ago, I was dating a woman who was suffering badly from a condition called endometriosis, which affects many women as a result of hormonal imbalance, which can lead to infertility. It refers to abnormal growth of cells (endometrial cells) similar to those that form the inside of the uterus, but in a location outside the uterus. It’s on the rise, likely due to the ever-increasing toxic world in which we live with endocrine-disrupting chemicals, compounds, and contraceptive drugs. Strangely enough, I’ve attracted many other women who suffer from this. Why am I telling you about my love life? There is a reason. In 2016, while dating the first woman, I met a fellow health coach through a Facebook group on holistic health. Something gravitated us towards each other, and we decided to speak on the phone.

Her name is Ashley, and our interview features on my podcast (Episode 2). When we met on the phone, we were asking each other about what got us into holistic health. We both know that everyone in holistic health has their own stories of healing. She shared with me that she reversed severe endometriosis by drinking a specific form of water. My internal thoughts went, “Er, what?” Before that, she had been attempting to reverse her endometriosis with a very strict anti-inflammatory protocol, with nutrition and exercise, to keep stress to a minimum. She didn’t have a lot of success after eating this way for four years, although she did make a marginal improvement.

It wasn’t until a friend of hers suggested a specific kind of water, when things changed for her. Initially, she laughed in her friend’s face as if to suggest they were nuts, and didn’t know what they were talking about. Ashley asked me if I’d heard of healing springs around the world. She explained to me that the company that produced this kind of water had mimicked the properties of water in these healing springs around the world, in Mexico, Germany, and France. It appeared to have almost magical, healing properties, as people would drink the water and heal their bodies of various symptoms.

She told me that she drank the water for one month, and healed her endometriosis. She got graphic with me, and told me that she literally passed a tumor out of herself, that her periods were balanced, and now she has had three children. She was so ecstatic about her results, that she created a whole business around these water machines and has sold thousands in the last seven to eight years, helping all of these people transform their health and their family’s health.

Without yet mentioning the company name, I want to introduce you to the properties of this water. Imagine drinking water directly from a spring at the top of a mountain. This water would be pure, toxin-free and will have passed through the rocks and minerals making it naturally alkaline and also ionized, or electrically charged. Nature is truly magical, and electrical. As you’ll learn more in the posts on The Body Electric, every one of our 50 trillion cells is electrically charged, the ground we walk on is a sea of negatively charged electrons, we absorb electrons from the sun, and water in its purest form, is also electrically charged.

When we absorb these electrons into the body, we essentially charge our cells, we raise our voltage and in doing so, cause an anti-inflammatory effect in the body. This is meant to happen when we drink water, but we’re missing this critical property of water when we drink either tap water or bottled water. It is effectively dead. Water that comes fresh from springs is naturally ionized.

Ionized water or electrolysed reduced water (ERW) is electrically charged, and is known scientifically to reduce inflammation and is a powerful antioxidant. If you were to search in Google Scholar for “electrolysed reduced water and inflammation,” you’ll find no fewer than 3,950 studies (as of October 2021).

• Inhibitory Effect of Electrolyzed Reduced Water on Tumor Angiogenesis.
• The Ability of Electrolyzed Reduced Water to Act as an Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Agent in Chronic Periodontitis Wistar Rats (Rattus novergicus).
• ScienceDirect published one study entitled, “Electrolyzed–Reduced Water Scavenges Active Oxygen Species and Protects DNA from Oxidative Damage.”  

Many argue that this is all hype and that there is no science behind it. There is. Google Scholar is a database of peer-reviewed studies. PubMed is another one. I invite you to do your own research (as always), and I hope I have inspired you to do so. Please note: This is a BIG difference between “alkaline water” bought on supermarket shelves, compared with electrolysed reduced water (ERW). .

Electrolysed reduced water contains molecular hydrogen. Molecular hydrogen. Excerpted from PubMed:

Molecular hydrogen is currently recognized as an emerging therapeutic, as its supplemental application exerts protective effects in cardiovascular diseases [1,2], neurodegenerative diseases [3], inflammatory diseases [4], neuromuscular disorders [5], metabolic syndrome [6] diabetes [7,8], kidney disorders [9,10], and cancer [11]. The protective effects of molecular hydrogen are largely related to its antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative actions (Figure 1).^[7]

• The neuroprotective effects of electrolyzed reduced water and its model water containing molecular hydrogen and Pt nanoparticles

“Oxidative stress is directly related to a series of brain dysfunctional diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, etc. Electrolyzed reduced water (ERW) is a functional drinking water containing a lot of molecular hydrogen and a small amount of platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs, Table1).

1). ERW is known to scavenge ROS and protect DNA from oxidative damage [1]. We previously showed that ERW was capable of extending lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans by scavenging ROS [2]. Molecular hydrogen could scavenge ROS and protect the brain from oxidative stress [3]. Pt NPs are also a new type of multi-functional ROS scavenger [4].”

I hope I have inspired you. The company that I was introduced to is called Enagic, and the water machines are known as Kangen water machines and have been used as medical devices in hospitals in Japan for 45 years.

Kangen water machines are often spoken about as producing just “alkaline water” – while this water is, indeed, alkaline, it’s the process that creates the healing properties of the water that is the true benefit. Consider the alkaline label an effect of the process that creates the water. Anyone can add baking soda to water to raise its pH. That is not what this is.  Enagic have mimicked as closely as they can, the properties of healing springs, and recreated it using technology. It is a brilliant “biohack,” bringing Nature into your home.

This water is anti-inflammatory and has more antioxidants in it than a blueberry shower. (That’s not a scientific term. I wanted to accentuate the point that it is loaded with antioxidants. In fact, it has more antioxidants in one glass of water than you’ll get from an entire plate of vegetables.)

There are many peer reviewed medical papers that report on the anti-inflammatory effects of molecular hydrogen water, such as:

For more information on electrolysed reduced water, go to VitalitySecret.com/water and check out the video by Ashley, who I mentioned above, explaining to you the properties of the water. Also view or listen to our interview on the same page. The best thing to do is to try the water for free first, and then consider purchasing a machine. They are an investment, and I would say a very worthwhile investment. They are a powerful preventative measure from which I expect you to notice benefits within days. You’ll end up saving money and time and health in the long term.

Drink molecular hydrogen or ionized water, and witness your weight drop, your whites in your eyes to get whiter, energy to improve, inflammation to reduce, therefore reducing or eliminating symptoms, and your life to change. Depending on which kind of filter or ionizer you purchase, you might need pre-filters to remove all contaminants. An ionizer does not necessarily filter the water.
