Municipal water, filtered and partially ionized, is alkaline, and rich in electrons and cationic minerals. This drinking water, similar in its physical properties to mountain spring water at the source, has been shown to protect against free radical damage. Studies on the numerous health benefits of ionized water will be summarized. Case studies using live blood analysis show that drinking ionized water reduces blood cell stickiness, cell aggregation, early clotting, and improves the biological terrain of the body. Ionized water can be produced from electric ionizers or by vortexing water over stones of certain mineral compositions. Applications to agriculture will also be discussed.
