Hydrogen Water & Ionized Water Found to Heal Diseases

Hundreds and thousands of articles and reviews exist about hydrogen and ionized water, all backed by rigorous scientific research. This research has shown that ionized hydrogen water has helped many with chronic diseases. The scientific research articles linked below are a testament to the reliability and credibility of these findings.

Ionized water, the most popular form of hydrogen water, offers a wide range of benefits. Its healing properties are not just for people; animals can also benefit from them. This makes it a versatile and valuable addition to any health-conscious household.

When you use a water ionizer, you're not just drinking water, you're infusing your body with free, paired hydrogen molecules. Hydrogen gas isn't found naturally in water. And it doesn't dissolve into water; it's carried along until it evaporates.

The process, known as electrolysis, creates a powerful antioxidant in the form of molecular hydrogen (H2). This antioxidant activity is what reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, making ionized water or hydrogen water a potent anti-inflammatory and a proactive way to combat free radical damage.

Research shows the healing benefits of ionized water and molecular hydrogen (H2). When in a free state, hydrogen heals the body by attacking and neutralizing free radicals. The benefits of hydrogen water are real. Studies show that hydrogen-rich water reduces oxidative stress; see the articles below.

The aging process naturally improves with fewer diseases and conditions. These are researched and proven facts.

Hydrogen-rich water protects and heals various organs in every part of the body. [See the over 100 peer-reviewed articles, categorized by organ, below.] 

The best way to consume free-hydrogen is in water.

While some people may prefer to inhale hydrogen, the superior choice for reaping the full benefits of hydrogen is drinking hydrogen water. Scientific studies have consistently shown that drinking hydrogen water has more comprehensive benefits for the body than inhaling hydrogen gas, making it the optimal choice for health-conscious individuals.

H2 evaporates quickly as a gas and leaves the body in several hours. In contrast, in hydrogen water, the antioxidant H2 fights free radicals for days. But both methods are effective and therapeutic.

The water ionizer produces the most widely used form of hydrogen water. It splits the water into two streams, alkaline and acidic. In this process, hydrogen gas infuses into the alkaline water. This kind of alkaline water is so therapeutic that it has awed scientists for decades.

Hydrogen Water Benefits vs. Regular Water

Don't confuse regular water with hydrogen rich water. Plain water contains hydrogen of course, H2O, but the hydrogen in regular water is not able to fight free-radicals. 

See for yourself, by following the links, the enormous and growing proof that alkaline ionized hydrogen infused water can significantly help the body.

I have personally experienced the benefits of hydrogen water thousands of times over. See my testimonial.

H2 Can Scavenge Free Radicals Anywhere in the Body

Molecular Hydrogen can penetrate through cell membranes (even the blood-brain barrier) and scavenge free radicals. This is why every time I drink ionized water or hydrogen water I almost instantly feel increased brain clarity.

Hydrogen's tiny size and lipid solubility makes it able to penetrate cells and even heal the DNA. Other antioxidants can't get this far into the body to heal it.

Another thing about hydrogen that is notable is how easily it evaporates. There is no residual toxic effect from drinking or inhaling it.

Hydrogen at the Root of Life

School children know that the combination of H2 and Oxygen makes water, which is at the source of all life. Oxygen also brings life, but unfortunately too much oxidation within the body upsets the balance of hydrogen.

Molecular biologists call this Oxidative Stress, and think it's at the root of almost all disease.

Oxygen can actually become a dangerous free radical within the body when it has lost its electron balance. Biologists call this Active Oxygen. All it takes is a tiny little bit of molecular hydrogen to neutralize it.

Customers Rave About Hydrogen Water

"So far with the hydrogen water I have noticed that I am sleeping better and I am not as sore as well. Hips use to be sore in the morning before I started drinking the hydrogen water." Ian S.

Hydrogen water just seems to give you more clarity and energy during the day. But it doesn't stimulate you like coffee does, so you don't stay awake at night. In fact, it helps you to wind down and seems to promote recovery (eg after heavy exercise) and a good sleep. It's a great little product." Peter

"I used to have a problem with eczema. I would breakout with a rash all over my hands, sometimes on my face and all that has cleared up." Liliana S.

"We're drinking Hydrogen Water from the HR4 and I just had a report on my wife's cancer markers. All three of my wife's cancer markers went down since we started drinking from this little thing. It makes a lot of Hydrogen water." Aldo P.

"I love it! I have more energy and my skin looks better!!" Cynthia N.

"I'm obsessed with my HR4. It has helped improve my mood and my skin looks even better than it used to. I thiink it helps with hangovers too." Ashley Y.

"I bring it to work with a bottle of distilled water and have great hydrogen infused water . I was feeling lousy for many years and I narrowed it down to the water quality at my job .. now I feel great." Matthew B.

How Do You Get Hydrogen Water?

There are two main ways to get hydrogen water: 

  1. ionized water (water ionizer) and 
  2. hydrogen water (hydrogen water machine)

My personal preference is the water ionizer, because a water ionizer also produces a high ph water. However I also use a hydrogen water machine frequently.

 Spanning over 30 years  Gynecology  

 

Use of Ionized water for gynecological conditions Prof. Watanabe Ifao, Watanabe Hospital

 

"Ionized alklaine antioxidant water improves body constituents and ensures effective healing to many illnesses. The uses of antioxidant water in gynecological patients have proved to be very effective. The main reason for its effectiveness is that this water can neutralize toxins.

 

When given antioxidant water to pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, the results are most significant. During my long years of servicing the pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, I found that the women with pre-eclamptic toxemia who consumed antioxidant water tend to deliver healthier babies with stronger muscles. A survey report carried out on babies in this group showed intelligence above average."

BENEFITS OF MOLECULAR HYDROGEN (12-MINUTE VIDEO)

How Molecular Hydrogen Helps to Heal & Prevent Diseases:
  • Molecular hydrogen lowers oxidative stress. Oxidative stress and inflammation are two of the worst mechanisms for destroying human health. 
  • Molecular hydrogen alleviates inflammation, which is the underlying cause to many diseases. 
  • Molecular hydrogen brings the body into balance.
  • Some animal research shows that molecular hydrogen actually has the potential to prevent oxidative stress related injuries or diseases from occurring.
  • Molecular hydrogen protects the mitochondria.
  • Molecular hydrogen has no known disadvantages to health or warnings.
  • It permeates every membrane in your body.
  • When not needed, it simply evaporates.

Who Can Consume Molecular Hydrogen?

Anybody can have it: a pregnant mother, a child, a baby, the elderly, everybody. It even positively affects the unborn child.
