Re: hydrogenation vs hydration
Found this interesting article, more about silica and hydration etc.
"HYDROGENATION Hydrogenation is very bad. Negatively ionized hydrogen is very good and it will not hydrogenate oils. If you take an oil, a lipid, like flaxseed oil and hydrogenate it, there are little places on the molecule where hydrogen can attach itself, and it turns the oil into a more stable molecule because oxygen can also get into those places and oxidize and cause rancidity. Basically in hydrogenation, under certain temperature conditions, in the presence of a platinum catalyst and hydrogen gas, the oil sucks up the hydrogen and the molecule becomes hydrogenated. Hydrogenated oils are solid fats; they are not natural and can actually clog up the arteries and be very harmful to the body.
SILICA After studying all the minerals in glacial water, I found that that there was a certain kind of mineral that cannot be seen by the eye. It is a tiny spherical form of silica. Silica is a natural mineral that is essential for the human body; sand is silica, quartz crystals are silica. Silica makes our bones and arteries strong. It is found in the places of our body where we need the most strength like the aorta. The silica that I found in Hunza water were little tiny spheres about 50 Angstroms in diameter, and they are only found in certain kinds of glacial water in only those five places in the world that I know of, and water in the world has been pretty well investigated.
"MICROHYDRIN After seeing the negative hydrogen ions in Hunza water, I knew that I had missed something in Hunza water. It wasn't just the minerals that made it special; it was the minerals which were carrying negative ionized hydrogen. Mono-atomic neutral hydrogen has one proton and one electron. Microhydrin has the regular electron and it has got another electron that is in the 1s prime orbital, and this is the electron that gives life. This electron is used in every chemical reaction in the living system. So we developed a technique to use the minerals in our Crystal Energy to store hydrogen in quantities that are so great that when using the Nernst equation to measure the amount of electrons, one capsule of Microhydrin contains the same number of electrons as you would find in 10,000 glasses of fresh, organic orange juice. It is loaded with negative ionized hydrogen. By the grace of God, I was able to discover how to trap the hydrogen ions in the silica spheres so that they can be time-released when added to water. And that is basically the discovery of Microhydrin. Our bodies desperately need it. Most of us are very deficient in it.

STABILITY OF MICROHYDRIN When you add Microhydrin to water, the water will stay at maximum potency for about 12 hours and then it starts decreasing over time. Water tends to like a five-sided structure, pentagonal structure, or hexagonal structure that look like soccer balls. These little tiny bucky ball type spheres hold the hydrogen ions internally and that is how these negative hydrogen ions exist for even years in water as long as it is in a dark place. Light causes that structure to disassemble and causes the release of the ion. If you put the water in a sealed bottle in a dark cover it will last six months to a year without decreasing potency. But when Microhydrin is in powder form, the hydrogen ions are trapped in the centre of the silica cages. Silica has the same type of structure as water, a tetrahedron. The silica forms 'bucky balls' which can be many different shapes; it is a perfect vacuum and the Microhydrin is perfectly stable in there and it lasts indefinitely until it is hydrated, until you add it to water, whether that water is in your body or in a glass of water. When you take it, the hydrogen ions are released slowly into the body and then used by the body.
