Doctor Oz Show Reveals Contaminants In Tap & Bottled Waters

The shocking results from Dr. Oz’s recent special investigation of drinking waters were revealed. Arsenic, lead, known carcinogen chromium 6, and perchlorate – or rocket fuel – are among the contaminants you are being exposed to every day in the drinking water.

The Dr. Oz television show recently presented a segment on both the contaminants found in ordinary tap water from different municipal sources around the country, and also those contaminants in bottled water and the problems inherent in regulations for the bottled water industry.

What’s In Your Tap Water?

For months a team from The Doctor Oz Show investigated the safety of the nation’s water and the potential cancer causing chemicals that could be in it. They wanted to find out what toxic chemicals would be found in tap water.  In order to do this they conducted a national tap water test—recruited people in 19 cities across the country-and gave them kits to test their water. 

Samples were then shipped to a testing lab for analysis.  The participants were invited to The Dr. Oz Show and the results were shown to them.

It was noted that the government only regulates 114 chemicals, while there are 184,000 other chemicals which remain unregulated. And the results from these tests revealed that metals like arsenic and lead, chromium 6,  and perchloride were to be found among these collected samples of water around the country.

“Our recent analysis of CCRs (Consumer Confidence Reports) from the 13 largest US cities revealed that few claimed to have no federal water-quality violations.

Though none of the other water systems were consistently unhealthful, all had some samples containing significant quantities of contaminants.

In New York City, for example, some samples had lead levels several times the federal limit.”

Chromium-6: The “Erin Brockovitch” Carcinogen   

Remember the Erin Brockovitch movie which came out a few years ago.  Well Chromium-6 is the carcinogen which was documented in that movie, starring Julia Roberts.

This movie focused on the town of Hinkley, California, made famous by the 2000 movie, “Erin Brockovich,” and which revealed the high levels of cancer-causing hexavalent chromium.

If hexavalent chromium doesn’t sound familiar, then think of chrome, the stuff that puts the shine on everything from bathroom faucets to motorcycles.

In the 1990′s, it was the former legal clerk, Brockovitch, who fought to expose hexavalent chromium contamination in drinking water, in the small California town of Hinkley.  This action resulted in a record-breaking settlement and a major motion picture about the incident.

At the time of Brockovich’s work, the link to drinking water was not as strongly established as it is now, but a 2007 National Institutes of Health study on hexavalent chromium revealed more evidence.  Laboratory animals used in the two-year study developed malignant tumors in the gastrointestinal tract and sites “where tumors are rarely seen in laboratory animals,” according to researchers.

California has established a legal limit for Chromium-6. As one example of the Dr. Oz show testing of waters around the country, it was revealed that the water sample taken in Norman, Oklahoma showed that Chromium-6 was present at 1000 times the legal limit in California.

Perchlorate:  Want To Drink Rocket Fuel?

Perchlorate and its salts are used in solid propellant for rockets, missiles, and fireworks, and elsewhere (e.g., production of matches, flares, pyrotechnics, ordnance, and explosives). 

Their use can lead to releases of perchlorate into the environment.  Perchlorate’s interference with iodine uptake by the thyroid gland can decrease production of thyroid hormones, which are needed for prenatal and postnatal growth and development, as well as for normal metabolism and mental function in the adult. 

Perchlorate, widely used by the military, “has been found in at least 395 sites in 35 states,” the AP reports. “The toxin interferes with thyroid function and poses developmental health risks, particularly to fetuses.”

For the first time, the EPA will be monitoring levels of the chemical in drinking water. While the standard could take up to two years to develop, the EPA has found through initial testing that the chemical exists in the drinking water of over 26 states.

Arsenic  

Arsenic occurs naturally as part of the earth’s crust.  A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reports that exposure to arsenic can lead to diabetes. And unfortunately, the source of arsenic has been found to be the public drinking water in US.

Not only in the US, but also places like Taiwan, Bangladesh and Mexico have been reported to have high inorganic arsenic in drinking water according to the epidemiologic studies. The arsenic raises the level of sugar in the blood and damages the insulin secretion from pancreas thereby causing diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, the blood sugar is not converted into energy because of low levels of sugar breaking insulin.

Lead

Lead in drinking water can also cause a variety of adverse health effects. In babies and children, exposure to lead in drinking water above the action level can result in delays in physical and mental development, along with slight deficits in attention span and learning abilities. In adults, it can cause increases in blood pressure. Adults who drink this water over many years could develop kidney problems or high blood pressure. 

Lead is rarely found in source water, but enters tap water through corrosion of plumbing materials. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead pipes, fixtures and solder. However, new homes are also at risk: even legally “lead-free” plumbing may contain up to 8 percent lead. The most common problem is with brass or chrome-plated brass faucets and fixtures which can leach significant amounts of lead into the water, especially hot water.

Lead in drinking water is a serious health threat. Unfortunately, most lead water contamination comes from pipes inside peoples’ homes, which means that there is no way to remove lead at any centralized facility. The only way to remove lead from your drinking water is with a home water filter.

Radon

Radon gas moves from the soil and rocks into our homes through openings and cracks in our home’s foundation and through sump pumps, floor drains, and even through concrete block walls.

Radon can also get in through drinking water. Once indoors, radon can build up indoors to dangerous levels. When this happens, it becomes necessary to take action.

Radon is consistently rated as one of the top environmental risks addressed by the federal government and the leading environmental cause of cancer. The science behind radon is extremely strong.

If your home has a high level, a qualified professional can install a simple vent pipe to reduce your radon exposure. If you’re buying or selling a home, make sure it’s been tested for radon and that levels are acceptable to protect your family.  If you’re building a new home, ask to have it built with radon-resistant features.

What’s In Your Bottled Water?  And Where Does It Come From?

Dr. Oz even admitted to being shocked about the situation with bottled waters.  When some individuals who participated in the testing of water samples in their homes found out about the contaminants in their water, they seemed concerned and indicated that they might shift to bottled waters.  But Dr. Oz indicated that they needed to wait and see what was being revealed in the segment on bottled waters.

For this bottled water segment, his guest doctor, from Consumer Reports, presented information about the bottled water industry being even less regulated than the municipal sources. She said, in effect, that it was difficult to tell from the labeling what the source was.

If for instance, there was reference to the water being filtered, this could mean that it was from a municipal source or not. Many of us may have originally imagined that this bottled water came from pure spring waters high in the mountains. This impression, perhaps enhanced by the visual presentations through advertising, gives a sense of clean and healthy water to drink. Then reality settles in as you find out more facts.

The companies which sell bottled water are not required to disclose the content or source of their water, which may be contaminated with carcinogenic chemicals.

Based on the answers to questions posed to the Dr. Oz audience, it seemed that a very small percentage were really aware of the dangers lurking in this great commodity called water, whether from the tap or bottled source.

In essence, the program introduced many to the inherent health risks and dangers which are present in our municipal water systems and in the under-regulated bottled water industry. The program did not extend so far as to take on the environmental ramifications presented by the bottled water by-products, etc.

Now, What Is In Your Water?  And How Do You Find Out? 

One way to find out is to check your Consumer Confidence Report, or CCR. The EPA requires utilities to provide a CCR to their customers every year. You may also find the CCR printed in your newspaper or posted on your local government website.

Advantages of Different Types of Water for Gardening

Kangen Water® is well known for its benefits to people.  The Kangen Water Machine provides a healthy pH and ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) for drinking water for us humans.  But there are 5 different types of water which are provided by this machine. You can select the pH of the water you want to use for a particular application, without using any chemicals.

Now, many owners of Kangen Water Machines are taking advantage of this flexibility to provide nourishment for plants, and for gardens.

“Using the 5.5 pH Kangen Water on my tomato patch produced so many tomatoes the vines were constantly needing to be propped up even after the typical growing season was over here in Canada.  I also use the 5.5 pH Kangen Water with my cut flowers and they lasted at least two times longer than usual!   -Kennith Walters, Calgary Alberta

There are two reasons why variations of  waters provided by the Kangen Water Machine are helpful in providing nourishment for your garden.  These are the pH and ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) which both provide a deficiency of, or abundance of, extra electrons to the water.  Because the 5.5 pH acid water is “Hungry” it assists in the dissolving of inorganic matter (solid mineral rock) in the soil and helps with the ion exchange that produces alkaline plant matter in the hydrogen ion exchange.  The lower pH also encourages helpful soil microbes.

This same “Hunger” also exists in nature as rainwater which is typically about 5.5 pH as well.  When this 5.5 pH water gets into the soil it helps dissolve the minerals.  Minerals are what ultimately make up the strength of the flavor; the abundance of measurable nutrients and the overall health of the plant.

“After studying the agricultural uses of Kangen Water in Japan, I began experimenting with this water in my own garden. My plants’ response was immediate! New growth and glossy green foliage emerged while my plants began to bloom.  In my 22 years in the Landscape Industry as a horticulturist and Landscape Architect, I have never seen anything like this!

The water supplies oxygen to the soil as well as increases the plant’s ability to uptake nutrients.  The 2.5 pH water sprayed topically kills mold, bacteria, fungus, gnats, white flies and aphids  This water is also ideal for growing hydroponics and will be a key player for minimizing the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers in the future.  Go Green and watch your gardens thrive with Kangen Water.” -Rhadiante, Elemental Design Group, Creative Landscapes and Interiors

Growing Your Own Garden

Growing your own fruits, vegetables and herbs is a great way to have fresh produce at hand every day. This is the case whether you have a plot of land or you are container-gardening with potted plants. If you are consuming the produce from this gardening, then the nourishment that your plants receive is even more vital.  The plants need good water in addition to sunshine and good soil.

It is the case that tap water often contains contaminants such as bacteria and chlorine, which could harm the plants and provide a risk for eating.

Alkaline water can enhance the initial germination process for plants. Slightly alkaline water can help stimulate this process and stimulate growth. Enagic’s Kangen Water with a pH of 9.0 can be an ideal solution for vegetables, fruits and herbal plants. This alkaline water can also help to heal plants which are not doing well.

Food Preparation & Washing of Produce Purchased at Markets

If you don’t have your own garden or if you purchase most of your vegetables and fruits at local markets or stores, then you should be sure to give attention to cleaning the produce properly.  Even organically grown products should be properly cleaned. You can use Strong Kangen Water (pH 11) and Kangen Water® (pH 8.5-9.5) to both clean and disinfect fruits and vegetables.

Strong Kangen Water is a potent emulsifier, which can be employed when produce has been treated with pesticides.  This pH 11 alkalized water can clean the harmful chemicals off the foods.  Since pesticides are oil based, rain water and tap water are unable to eliminate them.  However, Strong Kangen Water effectively battles the germs, bacteria and pesticides.

While the regular Kangen Water® will not have the same disinfective effect, it is still a far superior choice over tap water for rinsing produce.  It will also enhance the flavor of  produce when they are boiled in Kangen Water®.

Therefore, experiment yourself with the different types of Kangen Water® and see how it can enhance your life and your lifestyle.

Summertime and the living may not be so easy.

Summertime can be sizzle-time.  As the heat intensifies, the need for water intensifies.  And since we as humans are made up of about 70-75% water, we need to be sure that we are not losing that vital balance.  Consider the dangers of both temporary and chronic dehydration.

What are some of the potential results from dehydration?

Fatigue

Dehydration causes enzyme activity to slow down. Water moving between the inside and outside of the cell also generates energy.

Who wants to go through the summer drained and tired?  People often think they are drinking more than they really are.  For instance, some who drink a lot of coffee think they are hydrating their bodies, when in reality the coffee is really dehydrating and depleting the water in the tissues.

So instead of the water substitutes, instead of the bottled waters, drink real Kangen Water® for superior hydration.  One guideline for the amount of water to drink, is to take your actual weight, divide it in half and drink that number of ounces of water per day.   For example, a person weighing 150 pounds should drink at least 75 ounces of water daily.  But remember that in intense heat, you may need even more.

Digestive Disorders

The friendly bacteria in the “gut” require negative ORP values to thrive.

So if you are providing beverages with a positive ORP, like soda pop and other popular drinks, ( and even most bottled waters) then your body is being deprived of the important antioxidant potential. (ORP = oxidation reduction potential.)

Remember that Kangen Water® does have a strong negative ORP, meaning that it provides vital antioxidants.  See some test results comparing various beverages and Kangen Water®.

Acid-alkaline Imbalance

Dehydration significantly impacts how the body moves acid wastes.

This is of primary importance.  We all need to strive for that critical balance of the acidic and alkaline in our bodies.  When that balance is not maintained, many illnesses ensue.

Everybody knows that so many people suffer from acid reflux, and many other gastrointestinal maladies.

Constipation

Dehydration causes the colon to pull as much water from the waste as possible.

This contributes to constipation.  Don’t set up residency in the bathroom, waiting for proper elimination.  Sure, you can read the paper there, and daydream, and watch flowers, etc.  But proper and regular bowel movement is more likely to be facilitated if there is significant hydration.

High Blood Pressure

Did you know that 95% of blood plasma is water?  Dehydration thickens the blood and therefore elevates blood pressure.

Keep that blood pressure in the normal range by getting enough water daily. Don’t risk the dangers of an elevated reading that could be caused by common dehydration.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol is produced to slow down cellular water loss when there is not vital hydration.

Why risk an elevated cholesterol? It may be shocking to find out that cholesterol may increase just from lack of water. There are enough other factors that may be more difficult to control. But water—that is something we can easily regulate.  Drink to your health.                                                              

Weight Gain

At 2% hydration the body is too acidic and goes into fat storage mode. (A one hour workout can get you to this point)

So who wants to go to all that effort putting in a one hour workout, only to be more liable to gain weight? Not a good idea! It would be a lot simpler just to make sure that you are properly hydrated before, during and after the workout. But, remember to watch what form of hydration you are selecting. Those soft drinks and most sports drinks simple don’t fit the bill.

Skin Disorders

Dehydration reduces the ability of the skin to eliminate wastes and causes wrinkles, etc.

So lubricate that skin–after all its the largest organ in the body. And then, also, in the hot summer climate, pay attention to the damage of the sun rays, when your skin is not protected. Well, that’s only common sense. Use Kangen Beauty Water, which is acid water, and which makes the skin feel good and fresh.

Liver, Kidney, Bladder Problems

Dehydration increases the concentration of toxins in these organs of elimination.

Who wants to house toxins needlessly?  Flush them out with adequate hydration.  Send emergency assistance to the liver, the kidney and the bladder.  For the best rescue, send lots of alkaline water to the source.  Your organs will thank you.

Respiratory Problems

Dehydration causes the respiratory system to dilate to reduce water loss via exhaling.

But you can breathe easily, breathe deeply when you know that providing your body with plenty of healthy, alkaline, ionized water will prevent such respiratory problems that could otherwise be caused from dehydration.

Joint Problems

The fluids around the joints are mostly water.

What if there is not enough fluid around the joints?  There is more pain, stress, and less ability to move freely.  Many individual, anecdotal records reveal relief from chronic joint pain, after drinking adequate amounts of alkaline water.

Premature Aging

Dehydration places great stress on the body and increases oxidation and aging.

Well, this may be like saving the worst for last. Who do you know who wants to age faster? Well, when you cut open the apple and leave it, then you observe oxidation or instant aging. So why should we want to have instant aging?

Nevertheless, a great deal of our population suffers from dehydration, and not just dehydration from excessive heat. This is a year round problem, affecting all ages, and backgrounds. In a recent study, 31% of Seniors were found to be dehydrated.

Drinking Kangen Water® helps to maintain fluid balance for everyone. It can be the solution for better health and hydration.

Enagic updates their 100% Organic Acid Cleaner!

Recently Enagic presented their new “e-cleaner” ( known as the 100% Organic Acid Cleaner).  This provides the way to keep your Kangen Water Machine in top condition.

This is a big improvement in many ways, and primarily saves Kangen Water™ users big money over the course of time.

The new e-cleaner contains 24 individual packs of the 100% organic acid cleaner, which insures that the platinum/ titanium plates remain clean and free of calcium and other hard water deposits as a result of the hard water that is so prevalent in tap water.

100% Organic Citrus Acid E-Cleaner for Electrolysis Plates!

•The Enagic Water Ionizers are designed to use a 100% Organic Citrus Acid E-Cleaner that is ideal for cleaning and removing the built up calcium off of the platinum/titanium plates. No other ionizers have this key function. Do not overlook this feature.  This is a HUGE benefit of ALL of the water ionizers that extends the life many years to come.

•According to the manufacturer, one e-cleaner pack (see picture above) should be used once every one to two weeks for optimal performance of your Kangen Water™ Ionizer. The process is simple enough! Just replace your filter with the e-cleaner filter, add a fresh pack, fill with water and let it set for 4 to 6 hours. Run your machine, and you will notice the white flakes exiting! This is a great way to keep your machine at its optimal level. As to the frequency of use, it is recommended to use your best judgement. In very hard water areas, use this cleaner once a week and in soft water areas, use once a month.

•The cost of this e-cleaner is $34 and should last at least one year if the recommendations are followed; However, this process needs to be followed at least twice yearly in order to satisfy the five year warranty. This is a big improvement from the previous acid cleaner cartridge as far as cost savings, an improved environmentally friendly cartridge, and engineering.

Please remember that hard water on the electrolysis plates will destroy any effort from any water ionizer in producing alkaline water or even more importantly, alkaline water with a high -ORP.

Again, this is a huge advantage over other non-Enagic water ionizers. Every water ionizer will start accumulating hard water deposits from their water source.

Unless you live in an area of very little hard water deposits, choosing the right water ionizer with this feature should not be overlooked.

•The Enagic ionizers have an expected Life Expectancy of 15 to 20 years. This is based on Engineering and Results!

•The SD-501 is self-cleaning and will clean after every 15 minutes of use but will not start self cleaning if you are using the machine.

•Enagic’s SOLID, DIPPED platinum / titanium plates have a surface area that is 445% larger than that of other leading models from other manufacturers.

“Return To Origin” Trip to See Enagic Then and Now, and to Understand the Vision for the Future

The following is a press release from Enagic which provides an overview of the recent trip which over 20 of the top Enagic leaders made to Japan on the occasion of the Founder’s 69th birthday.

Enagic leaders visited  Enagic’s Okinawa, Osaka, and Tokyo facilities.  They also had the opportunity to experience the beautiful landscape and cultural activities as they traveled through Japan.

TORRANCE, CA, April 15, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/

In March of 2010, Enagic hosted over 20 of its top distributors on an all-expense paid visit to beautiful Okinawa, Japan. The leaders were flown from all parts of the United States to Okinawa where they toured the birthplace of Enagic and learned about the fundamental roots of the firm.

Enagic is the producer of the highest-quality water ionizers on the market, which create pure, alkaline Kangen Water. “Kangen” means “return to origin” in Japanese, so it was fitting that the U.S. distributors should have the opportunity to see where the company began.

Okinawa is where the founder, Mr. Hironari Ohshiro, was first inspired to expand Enagic beyond the confines of his own small home island. Having captured the ionizer market aggressively in the 1970s, Mr. Ohshiro first ventured to Tokyo and Osaka, bringing Kangen Water to the mainland of Japan.

In only a few years, hundreds of thousands of households, restaurants, clinics and even hospitals embraced the healthy benefits of alkaline water.

Mr. Ohshiro’s pioneering vision was instrumental in bringing Kangen Water to the United States, beginning with Los Angeles, California where he recognized and capitalized on the strong health culture.

The success of his California office led to satellite offices in New York, Chicago, Honolulu and Dallas. Canada, Taiwan and Hong Kong also revealed the intense demand for Kangen Water. In due time, the European Union market was opened through its Dusseldorf office and the Mexico market was opened through the Monterrey office. In 2010, the firm plans expansion in Australia, the Philippines and Italy.

To properly understand the future of Enagic, it was critical that the leading distributors understand the deep historical impact Mr. Ohshiro’s journey has provided.

Once on the shores of Okinawa, they were invited to attend special cultural events, see the original home that the founder grew up in, and tour the surrounding countryside.

The leaders also traveled to Osaka where they were given private access to the Enagic factory and witnessed the highest quality standards exhibited on a daily basis. A cultural tour of traditional Kyoto followed, and the whirlwind trip concluded in Tokyo.

As the founder explained, “To know my own island is to know why we perform the mission we perform. The essential aspect of Enagic is one of providing for others. Whether we provide good Kangen Water for their health, a tremendous business opportunity to alleviate their worries amidst this troubled economy, or even the peace of mind that comes with truly actualizing their true health, we are carrying out our mission.”

Reception with Japanese Distributors at the Enagic office in Tokyo

Enagic has developed the new, convenient Portable LeveLuk water ionizer. Now it is possible to take an easily portable device with you on your daily trips, so that you can have access to Kangen Water in many locations. 

This will solve a lot of problems for those who want ready access to healthy water when they are away from their Kangen Water system in their home.  A few questions about the new portable are listed below:

What is the difference between the current LeveLuk and the portable LeveLuk?
The current LeveLuk is a continuous water ionizer which uses continually running water. As for the portable unit:

•It is a storage tank type and has to be filled each time.
•It is basically a machine that will make instant Kangen Water® for convenience’s sake.
•The current machines are to be used at home while the portable unit is intended primarily for travel.

What type of water do you use?
Either tap water or bottled water. Tap water is easier to electrolyze, and bottled water is harder to electrolyze. (For bottled water, use mineral water.)

How many ml (milliliters) will it generate at one time?
It will generate 500ml, 70% Kangen water and 30% acidic water

What type of water do you use?
Either tap water or bottled water. Tap water is easier to electrolyze, and bottled water is harder to electrolyze. (For bottled water, use mineral water.)

How long does it take to ionize?
It will take 2 minutes after you push the start button, and will automatically turn off.

What pH level is this set at?
It is set at pH9.

Without using acidic water, how many times will it regenerate Kangen Water®?
It does not regenerate Kangen Water®. You must pour out the remaining water and put in fresh water.

Is the AC adapter limited to certain countries?
The AC adapter is able to be used worldwide, however the plug shape could be limited.

How many electrolysis plates and what is it made of?
It’s the same as other LeveLuk machines. It has one (1) platinum plated titanium plate.

Is this available to be purchased by people other than distributors?
Not at this time.

As the market leader in home water Ionizers, Enagic has celebrated record sales for March 2010. With the awareness of the benefits of Kangen Water, spreading through households across the country, despite economic times Enagic continues to thrive.

Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) April 16, 2010 – Enagic USA celebrated record sales in March 2010 with earnings of approximately $13 million. The market leader in home water ionizers, Japan-based Enagic has expanded throughout Asia, the United States, Canada, Mexico, the European Union, and Australia. US offices in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Honolulu, and Dallas promote Enagic machines and healthy, alkaline Kangen Water®. This year, Enagic is expanding aggressively with a variety of marketing campaigns. The company’s most recent promotion, the 1 to 3A Campaign, resulted in over 120 achievers earning special $1,000 reward checks.

Approximately 4,000 Kangen Water® machines are shipped monthly in the United States. The Enagic equipment has been perfected over decades of research by Japanese scientists. Using the highest-quality components, the machines purify water and ionize it, creating healthy Kangen Water® for drinking. The water retains healthy minerals such as calcium while filtering out contaminants, and the alkaline structure makes it rich in antioxidants. Enagic machines are recognized by the Japanese government as medical devices, and used in Japanese hospitals to promote health. Enagic ionizers are also widely used in households around the world, with strong growth in the United States. In addition to drinking water, Enagic ionizers also create other specialized types of water, including acidic water for cleaning that can help eliminate the use of cleaning chemicals. As consumer interest in protecting both the environment and personal health grows, so have sales of Kangen Water®.

The company’s Q1 results expanded at an unheard of rate as households across the country learn of the benefits of Kangen Water®, the tremendous potential of the firm’s compensation plan, and the peace of mind afforded with the security of the company.
