I can choose to listen to what science says and follow it or I can choose to listen to experiment myself. I'm not telling you to spend a lot of money and buy different machines. I can tell you two things since I have been using my own water that I energize myself. 1. My body doesn't seem to reject this water. 2. My muscles haven't developed any cramps after strenuous exercise.
There is something about structured water and science can't confirm it because nobody has ever observed the way water molecules have behaved.
Actually the water I use starts out distilled and then I structure it. I use polycarbonate bottles but I have even read that that high grade plastic isn't totally safe so I add a very small amount of minerals to the bottles before I continue structuring it. I figure the minerals might help keep the polycarbonate from leeching. I use quantum stir wands.
It is not that I don't trust the scientific process, I don't trust the people who disseminate science. If they see something they don't like for whatever reason, they don't want to accept it. You have to connect the dots when you study what the mainstream has to say.
If you want to understand what is going on in scientific circles, you have to start to understand their psychology as well as their science.
This is the science I trust. I truly don't understand the "structured water" theories. Any ideas on how it would increase hydration?
Very simple. The waters are highly purified, which makes them travel in to the body and cells faster. Basic laws of osmosis. Water will move from a level of higher purity to lower purity. By the same token they also travel out of the body faster, which is why these waters have a diuretic effect. This is one of the reasons I do not like them. They make me feel dehydrated.
Cellular hydration can only occur if the water we consume is in single-water-molecule form.
I thought I heard or read that the body can break the structure of water molecules down or restructure them IF it has the necessary tools, such as minerals, to do so. I don't think someone here will actually prove this since nobody has actually observed water molecules clumping together let alone know what the body does with them at the molecular level. I suspect the body might actually lose some of those nutrients if it is using them to change the structure of water. Hence, it could be another reason why we are nutritionally deficient.
If you look at the process I describe in treating the water I consume, you will see this process is superficially similar to what nature does to water found in a river flowing from a mountain.
It's not that complicated and I described it in my first post. Rain water is distilled (so is my water at first). Rain water interacts with minerals when it falls on prestine land such as certain mountains. (Add a small amount of minerals to distilled water). The minerals have certain charges that change the structure of the water (quantum stir wands).
Some might be skeptical that minerals have charges but apparently science has determined that certain crystals have charges. Visit the gem collection at the Field Museum in Chicago and you will see at least one type of crystal where they have to isolate it from air because its charge attracts dust. The mineral tourmaline is known to carry a piezoelectric charge, it is documented on wikipedia.
