MAGNETIZED WATER

Research carried out by NASA has demonstrated that astronauts who
are cut off from the earth's magnetic field develop significant
health problems which can be prevented by providing an artificial
magnetic field within the space capsule.

Do you suffer from a magnetic deficiency? The answer could well
be "yes" unless you are already taking special precautions to avoid
it. The earth's magnetic field is declining steadily and has lost
over 30 per cent of its strength over the last 2000 years.

Human beings have no doubt adapted to a certain strength of the
earth's magnetic field. At the moment this strength is declining at
a rate which may exceed our capacity to cope. Add to that the fact
that we, to an increasing degree, encase ourselves in steel or
reinforced concrete buildings, cars, subways and many other "cages"
which essentially screen out the already weakened magnetic field and
the stage could well be set for a massive dose of magnetic
deficiency syndrome.

Magnets and Health
The human body is profoundly responsive to electromagnetic fields.
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a powerful medical diagnostic
technique which uses magnetic fields to distinguish between healthy
and diseased tissues. Treatment with pulsed electromagnets (pulsars)
has been found highly effective in curing or alleviating conditions
such as bone fractures, migraine headaches, insomnia and depression.
Pads and mattresses with built-in magnets are used to alleviate
insomnia, rheumatic pain, migraines and circulatory problems. Says
Dr. Wolfgang Ludwig ScD PhD of the Institute for Biophysics in Horb,
Germany "Magnetic field therapy is a method that penetrates the
whole human body and can treat every organ without chemical side
effects"(1,5-8).

The effects of the North pole (negative) and South pole (positive)
magnetism are quite different. North polarity stabilizes, calms and
sedates and also reduces pain, infection and inflammation. South
polarity, on the other hand, is acid producing, enervating,
biologically disorganizing and may accelerate bacteria growth.
Magnets with a South polarity should only be used under the care of
a trained practitioner if at all(1,6).

The fact that our bodies consist mainly of water and that all our
bodily processes are heavily dependent on water has lead to research
into the possibility of using magnetized water to promote health and
treat disease.

Benefits of Magnetized Water
For those of us who associate magnetism with intricate patterns of
iron filings between the poles of a magnet the idea that water can
be magnetized sounds pretty far out. However, there is ample
evidence that magnetizing water either with permanent magnets or
with electromagnets actuallly has a profound effect. The first
practical application of water magnetization occurred in the 1950's
when engineers discovered that magnetically treated water had a
greatly reduced tendency to form scale when heated. Several
explanations for this have been advanced. The most plausible being
that magnetization breaks up the "clusters" of water which surround
lime and other "foreign" molecules. By doing so these molecules get
the opportunity to crystallize and be carried along in the water
rather than deposit themselves on the walls of the pipes. Although
this explanation has many proponents it does not fully explain why
magnetized water also dissolves old scale deposits(9-12).

Magnetized water has also been found useful in the treatment of
swimming pool water. Researchers at the University of Cranfield in
the UK recently discovered that they could reduce the amount of
chlorine needed to kill bacteria in a pool by 30 percent by clamping
magnets on the water supply line. Dr. Klaus Kronenberg, a professor
at the California State Polytechnic University, has found that the
use of magnetized swimming pool water essentially eliminates the
deposits formed where the top surface of the water meets the sides
of the pool(13-15).

Researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina recently
reported that cleaning the teeth with water from a magnetized
irrigator can reduce calculus formation by over 60 per cent and
improve overall gum health(16).

Israeli agricultural researchers found that the use of magnetized
water increased farm yields by anywhere from 5 to 20 per cent. Cows
drinking magnetized water produced more milk and were healthier than
cows drinking untreated water. Sheep produced more wool and meat,
hens laid more eggs and all farm animals survived longer when
drinking magnetized water(9,10,17).

Anecdotal evidence of the health benefits of magnetized water
abounds. Magnetized water is claimed to be energy-building,
activating, cleansing and detoxifying. There are reports of people
resolving bladder problems, recovering quickly from a stroke,
alleviating arthritis pain and reducing blood pressure by drinking
magnetized water. It is perhaps reasonable to assume that if
scientific studies on animals have proven that magnetized water has
health benefits, then it should also be beneficial to humans.
However, so far there have been no systematic, clinical trials done
to prove or disprove the healing effects of magnetized water in
humans(1,17,18).

Revitalizing Our Water
The vitalizing and healing properties of magnetized water are
believed to be intimately tied in with its "memory". Fresh, "virgin"
water from a mountain stream is full of vitality especially if it
has flowed over volcanic rock which is highly paramagnetic. During
its passage through contaminated soil, miles of iron or plastic
pipe, and treatment plants where it is exposed to toxic chemicals it
loses its vitality. By the time it comes out of the tap it is
essentially lifeless. Some researchers believe that the average city
tap water may actually be harmful, not only because of its content
of toxins, but also because it has developed a polarity which is
harmful to our health. Other researchers suggest that the
degradation of our tap water can bring its vitality lower than the
vitality of the human body, resulting in feeling drained and tired
after a shower or bath(9,17,19).

Fortunately, recent research has shown that it is possible to
regenerate water to its original healthy state by magnetizing it. It
is now clear that water has a very definite structure. A water
molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom. Because
of the electron configuration of the molecule the hydrogen atoms
tend to attract other water molecules resulting in the formation of
clusters which can contain anywhere from four to hundreds of water
molecules each. Some very exciting research done in Hungary has
shown that these clusters actually have a memory and can remember
and carry an imprint of the magnetic energy they have been exposed
to either simply from the earth's magnetic field or through flowing
over paramagnetic rock. It is the fact that this memory is
devastated on the way to the tap which renders our drinking water
lifeless(9,19-22).

Water can be re-magnetized by passing it through pipes which have
permanent or electromagnets attached to them or by leaving water on
top of a magnet overnight. The magnets must be carefully designed to
match the water's flow rate and should always be placed as close as
possible to the outlet after other treatment units and filters. In
stationary (overnight) magnetization it is important to ensure that
only negatively polarized water or mixed negative and positive water
is used. Magnetized water is softer than tap water so magnetization
can result in significant savings in detergent and soap use. It also
helps prevent deposits on cutlery and glasses washed in a dish
washer and can even make hair shinier.
