Structured (Energized) Water
For quite some time
readers have been asking if various curative or 'miracle' waters they've seen
advertised can really have any benefits. I guess we've all seen these ads, over
the years, advertising these types of waters; Willard Water, ionized water,
Micro Water, Tachyon water, etc. If we first make the distinction that we're
talking about water that has undergone some kind of structural change as opposed
to water that has simply been combined with some type of liquid additive, then
the answer is a definite 'yes'.
The simple fact is that any water that has undergone a structural change is
colloidal in nature. So, to give you an understanding of just how these various
waters work, we first have to explain a little about the structure of water and
the nature of your immune system.
When we take vitamins and minerals in food or as supplements, a large percentage of vital
nutrients escape absorption by the body. As we grow older, our ability to absorb
nutrients from diet decreases at an alarming rate. This condition cannot be
corrected by eating more. Our systems tend to absorb the 'bad' nutrients while
discharging the 'good' nutrients. We daily see obese people who are technically
suffering from malnutrition. As we grow older our immune systems decline in
function at an average rate of 1% per year.
This system not only
defends the body from outside invaders, it is also responsible for cleansing the
body of toxins. At the same time that its defending the body from poisons and
outside invaders, it is also responsible for creation and feeding of new cells.
The immune system is a central computer whose function is to maintain good
health. When we reach the age of 18 to 21, the immune system is functioning at
peak efficiency. As we age - efficiency begins to decline. When we are younger,
we can fight off minor infections but as we grow older innocent infections or
colds may turn into life threatening events. All major research into halting or
slowing the aging process involves ways to slow down the degradation of the
immune system.
Your body's immune
system produces what has come to be called 'free radicals', to enable it to rid
itself of various types of toxic waste. An atom is composed of a nucleus (the
particle in the center) surrounded by a certain number of moving electrons.
'Free radicals' are actually oxygen atoms that have one too many or one to few,
electrons. (Such an atom is called an 'ion'. Though our bodies do need some free
radicals, an excess of them causes very real and very serious illness, including
cancer. The only way to rid of free radicals in the system is to give them one
more electron. By doing that we change them from dangerous particles to
beneficial ones. Some solids are available which achieve this, such as vitamin C
and E, as well as a few man-made compounds known as 'anti oxidants'. While anti
oxidants work well - structured water works better, and we'll explain why a
little further on.
That's one benefit
of "structured" water. There are several others including the fact that such
water makes the most potent colloids! As you recall, a man-made colloid such as
colloidal silver, is created by immersing two electrodes in distilled water
(water containing very few minerals) and running an electrical current thru the
electrodes. If the distilled water is first 'structured', the colloidal process
produces many more silver micro clusters resulting in a more potent and
effective solution. To understand why structured waters are so much better than
ordinary water we must take a look at how they're made.
As everyone knows,
water is composed of molecules. A molecule is two or more atoms "stuck"
together. An atom is composed of nucleus (the particle in the center) surrounded
by moving electrons. Some atoms carry a positive charge and some carry a
negative charge. This is important to remember because, depending upon where the
atom is "stuck" to the molecule, the entire molecule itself can attain a 'north'
pole and a 'south' pole; in fact it can have several 'north' poles and 'south'
poles! From 9th grade science or from our earlier magnetic articles,
you'll remember that charges that are alike repel each other and opposite
charges attract each other. This is the reason that the two atoms of hydrogen
"stick" to the single atom of oxygen. The force that holds these three elements
together is called the "hydrogen bond".
You'll also notice that when two water molecules are in the proper position,
this same attraction of opposites will cause them to 'stick' together. This
action of one molecule being attracted to and sticking to another molecule,
forms chains of molecules which, in turn, form different shapes. The attraction
between molecules however, is very weak and is often broken and re-formed during
normal physiological reactions. We normally call this disassembly and
re-arrangement of molecules the "chemistry of life".
Liquid Crystals
This next portion may be a little complicated, though we'll do our best to
simplify it for you. If you're willing to simply take our word for it, you could
skip ahead. If not, here goes:
As we told you, the basic water molecule is made of two hydrogen atoms and one
oxygen atom. The angle between the two hydrogen atoms is 104 degrees. Some molecules
have more energy than others however and in these the angle is 109 degrees. It's these
energized molecules that form the basis of the 'liquid crystal'. The centers of
these three atoms form a sort of triangle. In three dimensions, this triangle
becomes a sort of 3 sided pyramid shape. This shape is called a tetrahedron. The
most stable liquid crystal is formed from 8 of these tetrahedron molecules and
is called the Stella Octangula. The different charges at the corners give it a
high, one sided, polar charge. This high charge gives the molecule a tendency to
orient itself in an electric field. That means that when an electric field is
applied to this pure water, the alignment of the molecules tends to neutralize
the electric field. (This is called the dielectric constant). Its the dielectric
constant that makes pure water a very poor conductor of electricity.
The molecules attach
to each other in such a way that the charges add up in the same way we get
higher voltages by adding batteries in series. When the water molecules are
highly structured like this, the power of the hydrogen bond is increased because
of the additive charges. It is the power of the hydrogen bond that enables water
to wet substances such as a glass, cotton, etc. The positive hydrogen and
negative oxygen charges bind to electric charges present on the surface of the
substance into which water comes in contact. The reason water does not wet
paraffin is because paraffin is a non-polar molecule, and has no electric charge
sites for the hydrogen bond to act.
When water begins to
freeze, the hydrogen bonds begin to form liquid crystal structures. The basic
form of these structures is hexagonal. When ice finally forms, it is composed of
tetrahedrons that form larger hexagonal structures as seen in snowflakes.
Ordinary water however is not pure H2O. It has a highly complex structure which
is composed of random molecules of ordinary water which frantically move around
by thermal agitation. (This is called Brownian movement). Each molecule has an
energy field which is called the electron orbital. In the singular water
molecule, this energy field forms a tetrahedron with two positive charges and
two negative charges on the vertices of the tetrahedron.
Within this sea of chaos float
liquid crystal structures of water molecule that are highly organized. These
liquid crystals consist of water molecules that are joined together by the
hydrogen bond. This was predicted in the classical work of J. Bernal and R.
Fowler, and was confirmed by x-ray diffraction studies. Tetrahedrons can be
joined together in a limited number of ways. These molecule icebergs are made of
clumps of tetrahedrons which are stable only in a certain configurations.
Intermixed with these multiple tetrahedral crystal structures are free water
molecules which are not bound by hydrogen bonds. This is called the 'sea of
chaos'. These molecules partially fill the loose packing regions within the
water structure.
What It Means
So, in simplified
terms, we could say that ordinary water is composed of highly structured liquid
crystals possessing a strong charge separated by unstructured molecules and
hydrogen ions, (isolated protons which have lost their electron), which is
called "the sea of chaos". But all water is not ordinary water.
In the living
system, water is highly structured, that is, its composed of a high percentage
of liquid crystals with a very low percentage of chaotic disorganized molecules.
Ordinary water on the other hand is composed of a large percentage of
unstructured molecules which contain a small number of structured liquid
crystals. There is a constant energy exchange process between structured
molecules and those which are not structured. This exchange is brought about by
random thermal (heat) motion. When an animal or plant takes in ordinary bulk
water it has to create organized liquid crystals before the water can play a
vital role in the living system.
This structuring is
accomplished by means of natural high energy colloids. High energy means that
the colloids have a high electric charge. The living system manufactures these
colloids from minerals, albumins, and sugar complexes. These charged colloids
act as tiny 'seeds' of energy that attract water molecules and form the nucleus
of a liquid crystal. Colloids can only act as seed crystals if they have a high
electrical potential. The charge on ordinary colloids is not very stable. For
our purposes there are two different types of colloids.
The first colloid is
found in the living system and is protected from discharge by a lyophilic (solvent
preferring) coating such as gelatin, albumin, albuminoids, or collagen. This coating
protects the colloid from discharge because the affinity of the coating for
water exceeds the mutual attraction of the colloids and ions of opposite charge.
The second type of
colloid has a protective coating which is composed of a non-ionic (neutrally
charged) polymer. These coatings act as electrical insulators and keep the
colloids far enough apart to prevent them from discharging. When these colloids
approach each other on a collision course pressure builds up between them. This
pressure causes solvent fluid (water) to rush between them which then drives the
particles apart. This type of colloid is rarely found outside the living system.
Okay, so now that we
know what structured water is and what its good for, lets look at how to go
about making it "artificially". Water is extremely sensitive to external energy
forces. Dr. Schwenk of Weleda Laboratories has written a very interesting book
entitled: Sensitive Chaos.
In his book he details the great sensitivity of water to internal and external forces.
All flowing water,
though it may appear to be uniform, is divided into many inner surfaces. This
may be easier to visualize if you think of water as countless ropes all bundled
together and each rope made up of individual strands all entwined together. In a
structure such as this you would have many surfaces. In flowing streams,
millions of vortexes form when water breaks past stones, sticks and other
obstructions. These vortex patterns act as powerful resonant structures as well
as energizers and electrifiers for water and colloids.
These vortex flows
are one of the secrets of the great sensitivity of water to the forces of the
universe. The speed of movement of water in a vortex has a rhythm of its own, it
extends and contracts in a rhythmic pulsation. The vortex is really composed of
a series of flowing surfaces (like the ropes) all bound together as if by an
invisible hand.
These flowing
surfaces move at different speeds, slow on the outside and fast on the inside.
The speed of movement of water in a vortex multiplied by the radius from the
center is a constant. This means that the velocity at the center of the vortex
is theoretically infinite. As the forces in a perfect vortex approach infinity
the hydrogen bonds of the water molecule cannot sustain the pressure difference
and begin to stretch and weaken releasing powerful forces. Water is sensitive to
magnetic, electric, gravitational and vibratory influences. It is affected by
light, sound and pressure. All these sensitivities are fleeting and the only
time water is really sensitive to external forces is when it is flowing.
When water flows,
millions of molecular surfaces open up along interior flow lines. These surfaces
are stretched like rubber bands and are so sensitive that they can be impressed
by the subtle energies of planetary relationships. In one experiment which was
duplicated by Dr. Schwenk, repeatable changes were shown in crystallization of
various mineral salts which were affected by planetary movements. These energies
are captured in water that is undergoing turbulent flow. The moment the flow
ceases, the energy of the moment is retained in the water until it is agitated
or moved again at which point a whole new set of energies are captured.
But how long the
water retains its added energy structure or colloidal form is a very complicated
question. The concentration is one factor. Remember, electrically charged
colloids act as tiny electrical 'seeds' for the formation of liquid crystals.
The more colloids we have, the greater the effect on liquid crystal formation.
This is true up to a critical colloid concentration. When that point is reached
many things can occur - surface tension bottoms out, and the system may become
unstable due to too much charge.
Another factor is
called the Zeta potential which concerns this charge. As the electrical charge
on the colloids increases, the effect on liquid structure also increases. Again
we have critical limits - when the charge reaches a certain point the system
becomes unstable. If the charge is too low it is also unstable. When system
energy is increased, its stability is decreased as it wants to discharge energy
into its surroundings. When the charge is too low, colloids cannot repel each
other by electro-magnetic force and they collide forming polymer bonds losing
surface area and energy in the process.
A third factor that
must be considered is the size of the colloids. Colloids may be of any size from
100 angstroms to 10 microns. The smaller the colloid the greater is the surface
area for a given parts per million quantity. As colloids get smaller, the
life-span or stability of the system increases. If the colloids are too large,
or if they're forced to grow in size or polymerize - surface area decreases,
zeta potential suffers, and random collisions cause larger growth. This process
is repeated until the system is destroyed.
Another factor
effecting the life of the colloid is the purity of the water. The purer the bulk
water, the less interference there is to the formation of liquid crystal
structures. If water contains minerals that have opposite charges to the
colloids, these minerals tend to be attracted to the colloids interfering with
the formation of liquid crystals.
The fifth factor
that must be considered is the pH of the system. pH is a measure of available
free hydrogen (positive charge) and free hydroxyl (negative charge) ions in the
liquid. At a pH of 7.0 these ions are in balance. As the pH goes up we have more
hydroxyl ions which have a negative charge. As the pH goes down, we have more
hydrogen ions which have a positive charge. In colloidal chemistry pH is
critical as a change in pH will affect the zeta potential (charge). For every
colloidal system there is a perfect pH balance for life-span and zeta potential.
By changing the pH we can raise zeta potential charge to a critical point where
surface tension will be at the absolute lowest, but the life-span of the colloid
system may also be at its lowest. For example, by altering the pH balance of a
given concentration of liquid crystal colloids we can vary the surface tension
from 25 dynes per centimeter to 65 dynes per centimeter. The life-span of the
colloidal system at 25 dynes is a few hours, while the life-span at 65 dynes is
greatly in excess of 150 years!
And lastly, we must
consider the time factor. When we add colloids to water we see a change in
surface tension that varies with time. For example, when a given amount of
colloids are added to water the surface tension may change from 73 dynes to 65
dynes. After thirty minutes we may see a surface tension of 45 dynes. This time
factor is due to the time it takes liquid crystals to form around the colloidal
'seeds'.
Anyone making
colloids or 'structured' water must take all of these five factors into account
in order to create a product that will be as potent as possible while still
lasting a reasonable amount of time. Its a delicate balance, as you can see, and
it explains why silver colloids made with particles that are too large or into
which too much charge has been applied, are of very little value to the
customer.
How To Make It
Now, we've explained
what structured water actually is and how much it differs from normal or
ordinary water - especially distilled water. We touched on why its more
beneficial but we'd like to go into that a little bit more as well as explaining
how to go about making such water. Remember, various trade names have been given
to commercial products of this nature - all of which are expensive. Also
remember two other facts; colloidal silver made from structured water is far
superior to that made from distilled water. And that when these researchers talk
about structured water they sometimes refer to it as a colloid - which it is.
As Dr. Patrick
Flannagan said, several years ago, when colloids or structured waters are made
properly they are of immense benefit. The development of liquid crystal waters
has led to a number of other exciting discoveries. These waters which act as
mineral carriers or transporters may be used to transport other substances in
the living system. Preliminary tests with cut flowers and other plants have
shown a 400% increase in water and nutrient uptake when watered with a solution
of liquid crystal water. (The control plants were given just distilled water).
What is true for
plants may be true for animals. These high energy waters may act as more
efficient nutrient carriers. Preliminary experiments with vitamins and herbal
extracts show a definite increase in absorption. Riboflavin, vitamin B2 is an
easy vitamin to measure in urine. Testing with riboflavin has shown an increased
absorption of 500% when taken with liquid crystal colloids versus distilled
water.
One of the most celebrated and encouraging scientific works of our century
has been the work of Dr. Alexis Carrel. Dr.
Carrel, working at the Rockefeller Institute, won the Nobel Prize
in Medicine by demonstrating this arresting hypothesis: "The cell
is immortal. It is merely the fluid in which it floats which degenerates.
Renew this fluid at intervals, give the cells what they require for
nutrition and, as far as we know, the pulsation of life may go on forever."
An infant at birth has an average body water content of 97%. By the time we reach
adulthood, our average water content is 70%. As we age the average water content
decreases along with flexibility, youth, and vital bodily functions. What displaces
the water so vitally needed by the cells? The answer is of course inorganic minerals
and toxins which are stored in the cells. Since liquid crystal waters increase
water uptake in plants by 400% its possible that these may increase the vital
content of the cells by washing away toxins. Studies show that there is not one
area of human life that high energy colloids cannot improve. Those, by
themselves, are very good reasons why we should all be drinking structured
water. However, structured water has additional advantages not yet mentioned.
Daryl Tichy explained his view and method his way. "Enzymes are a critical
ingredient to good health. Ordinary water, including distilled water, supports
rather weak electrical activity and therefore exerts correspondingly weak influences
on enzyme activity. By spinning water around a specially designed crystal, structuring
of the water takes place, through the induction of a small electromagnetic charge.
Our measurements show the magnetic component f this charge to be about 0.07 gauss
in the structured water. The structuring of water has an increased pH and the
ultraviolet spectrophotometer shows increased ultraviolet absorption because of
increased hydrogen bonding."
Structured water assumes a liquid crystalline state by becoming ionized from the
crystal's electromagnetic charge and forming chains of water molecules through
hydrogen bonding to oxygen on adjacent water molecules. This happens in distilled
water or water with 0.01% silicic acid and persists even after the silicic acid
water has been boiled. Any ions or other molecules in the water will increase this
structuring effect because the structured water will also form around the ions
and molecules. Ions within structured water are characterized by high-energy
bonding in which the hydrogen shells around each of the ions have been increased.
In other words, the distance between ionized atoms or molecules has been expanded.
(An analogy, in very un-scientific terms, would be that instead of thousands of
tiny specks filling a water drop you'd have several larger clumps surrounded
by relatively clear water).
How Does It Affect Your Body?
The amount of structured water in human cells, varies from tissue to tissue.
Nuclear magnetic resonance studies show two fractions of cell water, a small
fraction of 10% - 25% with a very high degree of structuring and the rest with
structuring moderately greater than bulk water. Other studies show 25% - 33% of
this intracellular water behaves differently than bulk water.
There are three types of water in skin cells. The first two are of the
hydrogen bond type. They comprise about 40% of the total cell water and will not
freeze at -50C. The third type, about 60% of the total cell water, and is a bulk-type
water which does freeze at -50C.
The structured water surrounding an enzyme affects the enzyme activation process.
The increased charge separation of the activated water produces more structured water
around the enzymes, resulting in a more energetic folding of the enzyme chains,
thereby increasing the rate of enzyme reactions. Another extremely good reason to
drink structured water. But - there's more. Structured water makes a colloid that
is many, many times better than one made with ordinary distilled water!
Think about the explanation we gave you earlier and you'll see why. In
layman's terms you could say that the structured water concentrates the
disorganized water atoms into liquid crystals which are then surrounded with
relatively "empty" water.
Now consider manufacture of colloidal silver: Positively charged silver atoms
are introduced into water. Some adhere to the negative points of the liquid
crystals turning them into positive points. With all the liquid crystals now
having nothing but positive points. Additional positively charged silver does
not "adhere" to the crystals but rather, stays in suspension by the repelling
action of "like charges". The resulting colloid will accept more silver and keep
it in suspension much longer than a colloid made with plain distilled water.
What's more, this silver colloid, being made from a water that more closely
resembles the water found within your body and it's cells, is assimilated much
more rapidly and thoroughly - and is thus, more effective.
Structured water is very desirable. Trouble is, everybody selling finished treated
water charges for it, and shipping costs make this water unaffordable. Do we have to
do without? No! We can make our own!
Where Science and Voodoo Meet
The making of structured water isn't really new. Experiments of this type have been
going on for years. Ditto for the knowledge that pure silver can effect microbes.
However, some of the earlier experiments showed very startling results - results
that prove to be just as true today as they did over 60 years ago. One of these
is the fact that planetary movements can - and do, affect colloids and structured water.
George Lakhovsky reported on some interesting experiments he has carried out. It is
possible to sterilize water and other liquids through direct contact with metallic
conductors. He found that the sterilizing effect of the metal was different
according to the phases of the moon. The metal used was silver. In April 1929
(full moon) 26 hours were necessary to sterilize the water; the following month,
again during full moon, 40 hours; on the 18th June, the experiments
being carried out 4 days before the full moon (full moon on the 22nd
June) the contact with silver even produced the opposite effect; instead of
sterilizing the water, the bacterial growth was enhanced. During the waning moon
the water was sterilized in from 6 to 7 hours. These experiments have been
carried out in two different laboratories in the "Salpetriere" and
"l'Institut Pasteur."
These experiments
are extremely interesting. Lakhovsky uses as contact metal "Silver."
That means he used a metal which is especially apt to be influenced through the
moon. In the year 1929 when Lakhovsky made these experiments the book "Das
Silber und der Mond" (Silver and the Moon), was published outlining experiments
carried out in the Biological Institute at the Goetheanum in Stuttgart, Germany. This
publication showed, by means of experiments make with filter paper, that a solution
of silver salt produced different effects if used during full moon or new moon.
This planetary movement also has a direct effect upon water - of all types
providing it is moving. The formative boundary surfaces of water in flowing movement
prove to be areas of sensitivity. They respond to the slightest changes in their
surroundings by expanding, contracting or making rhythmical waves. Water creates
an infinite variety of these surfaces and is therefore not merely an inert mass,
as we usually think. It is interwoven with countless sensitive membranes, which
are prepared to perceive everything taking place in the surroundings. Water is
not enclosed within its inner surfaces but open to its surroundings and to all
the stimuli and formative impulses from without. It is the impressionable medium
par excellence. Indeed it is so sensitive that not only does it react to changes
in its immediate surroundings, but also to the delicate, imponderable influences
of the planetary universe. This may seem an exceedingly bold statement. But
experiments in this field show that water really is capable of reacting to the
delicate influences resulting from changes in the cosmos.
For instance, water shaken in a vessel can be caused to move in such a way that
the inner surfaces thus created all slide past each other in the moving liquid. As
soon as the movement ceases, the formation of inner surfaces, and thus also the great
impressionability, is arrested, and the "sense organ" closes itself. If
water is shaken in this way, all the many forms of movement arise in it which we
have been describing singly for the sake of clarity. (This is why we've always
recommended shaking your colloids before use). The same is true of the natural
movement of water, in which also a great variety of movements combine. Not only
the shaking of a container but also other kinds of movement can open up the
water as a sense organ.
As a striking example among the abundance of constellations in the heavens we
will choose an experiment made on the day of a total eclipse of the sun. During
the course of the day at regular intervals - say every quarter hour - a different
vessel filled with water is shaken rhythmically for a short time. Each time this
is done a kind of sense organ, which closed again when the movement ceases, is
opened to the momentary happenings in the heavens. And each time a somewhat
different situation in the universe is imprinted upon the water: the gradual
movement of the moon towards the sun, the commencement of the eclipse, the
totality of the eclipse and the gradual movements of the moon away from the sun.
At the end of a series of experiments like this the whole course of the
happenings of the day is contained in the row of bottles that have been shaken.
How can this be made visible? There are various methods, of which we have chosen
the following: in the water of each vessel grains of wheat are caused to
germinate; this can be done days or even weeks later, as long as the water has
not meanwhile been disturbed anew. The grains of wheat are all placed in the
water at the same time and under same external conditions; the effect of the
impressions which permeate the water will be seen in the growth of the blades.
During the same span of time the blade in the water of one vessel will grow
better that in another. The lengths of the different blades in the different
vessels will depict the course of the eclipse.
The blades grown in the water shaken at the time of the total eclipse do not
grow as high as those in water shaken before or after. A graph can be made of the
lengths of the blades in the consecutive samples of water and the so-called growth
curve results. Other planetary constellations will give growth curves of a
different character.
A stream, bubbling merrily over stones forms countless inner surfaces and tiny
vortices, which are all sense organs open to the cosmos, and which perceive the course
of events in the heavens. Water passes on the "impressions" it has received
wherever it is absorbed by the earth and the plants, by the animals and man. In moving
water the earthly world thus allows the ever changing life in the universe of the
stars to flow into the course of its own life.
Cosmic events and water are linked with the stream of time in the ebb and flow of
the ties - in high tide and low tide. The connection between the course of the moon
and the tides is so obvious and well known that we need not go into it in detail here.
On a smaller scale, too, the rhythms of the moon pulsate in the water. In olden times
these rhythms were taken into account when wells were dug. This was usually done only
during certain phases of the moon and when it was in certain positions in the zodiac.
Even within the earth, water rises and falls with the course of the moon. When
the moon is in certain positions, water is soon reached, but it also dries up
again more easily. At other times it is necessary to dig deeper in order to
reach the water, but it then remains constant. Recent observations in deserted
and flooded mines show how the subterranean water reservoirs are influenced by
the rhythms of the moon. Traditional customs among lumbermen, to the effect that
the rivers spread out at full moon and burrow in the depths at new moon, show
that the forms of movement within the water obviously have a particular
connection with the course of the moon and its phases. Accordingly, in naturally
flowing rivers, it is difficult to float the logs at full moon, as they are
washed up on banks, whereas at new moon they are drawn into the middle of the
waterway and are thus easier to control. It is gradually becoming evident that
observations like this from everyday experience in the past are not to be put
aside lightly.
George
Lakhovsky (of Multiwave Oscillator fame) was always interested in
frequencies and oscillation. He propounded a theory, back in the 20's,
concerning oscillation in human cells. This is what he said about it:
In order to prove the validity of my theory of cellular oscillation,
I recently carried out a series of investigations at the Pasteur Institute.
As microbes or cells can live only by virtue of their high frequency
oscillation, and bearing in mind the bactericidal action of metals,
I concluded that, according to my theory, the following facts provided
a basis for a rational explanation. It is known that the frequency of
an oscillating circuit is modified by contact with a metallic substance
which, in some way, short-circuits it. From this I deduced that the
same phenomenon should occur in the cellular oscillating circuit, that
is to say by contact of metal with microbe.
Modifications In Cells
The experiments carried out at the Pasteur Institute confirmed once more my theoretical
views, and formed the subject of the following communication presented by Professor
d'Arsonval to the "Academie des Sciences" on April 15, 1929.
The bactericidal power of silver has been known for some considerable time. Desiring
to test the action of metals on microbes, according to my theory of cellular oscillation,
which states that the nucleus of every cell or microbe is comparable to a high
frequency oscillating circuit, and knowing that the frequency of oscillation any
circuit is modified by contact with a metallic substance, I concluded that the
bactericidal action of the metal was purely physical and due to alteration of
oscillation of the nucleus in direct contact with the metal.
From a hygienic point of view the conclusion is that a new process is available for
the sterilization of water without boiling (which renders it unpalatable and deprives
it of certain mineral salts) and without adding chemical substances which affect its
purity to a certain degree, and, lastly, without using filters which are not always
effective." These experiments were the forerunner of the illustration we used in
our original presentation of colloidal silver. (The interesting thing about all of
these observations is the co-incidence of its similarity to some of the work of Wilhelm
Reich when working with Orgone energy. Reich, you may recall, made use of one of his
orgone devices by placing it over a fast moving stream of water).
Let's Sum Up
Structured water is good for you, your pets and your plants all by itself, and its
great for making colloidal silver. So how do you go about making it and will it be as good
as the "commercial" kind? For the answer to that let me just say that water can
only be structured so far and no further. The methods we'll show you will produce
various amounts of structuring, with the "best" being 'way up there'. As to the
"how", let's take a look at what we know.
Water is not one
solid mass of liquid. It actually consists of layers. When these layers slide by
each other, as when they are shaken or otherwise turbulent, the surfaces of the
layers are susceptible to absorbing an electromotive force or energy. We've
already seen that some sort of force or energy from the moon effects them but so
do other types of energy. The energy derived from prayer has proven to be
effective as does the energy from a person deliberately visualizing a beneficial
white light entering the water from his hands or eyes. (Both have been proven
via an electron microscope).
A magnetic field,
applied at this time, also has a definite effect. But before we jump to any conclusions, consider one other factor.
Maurice Vogel was a researcher who worked for General Electric. He wrote one of
the earliest definitive tests on magnetism. He discovered that water swirled in
a clockwise vortex (like when you stir it swiftly with a spoon) develops its own
magnetic field of .07 gauss and becomes a permanent magnet! (That's why Daryl Tichy creates a vortex around a specially cut crystal. The crystal enhances the
magnetic field through a piezo electric action).
All
this means that we can structure water in several different ways; by
simply shaking it vigorously; by shaking it while its within a magnetic field;
by running it through or over small obstructions (like quartz crystal pebbles)
that create tiny eddies or vortexes behind each pebble; by doing the same
in a magnetic field; by creating a vortex in the water or by
creating a vortex and applying a magnetic field to it at the same time. All of
these things will result in varying degrees of structure within the water.
Which of these methods will produce the maximum efficient structuring? Lets look at the worst
first. Simply putting the water into a closed container, placing 2 magnets on
either side of the container and shaking vigorously for 1 minute will produce a
slight structuring - hardly enough to bother with.
The vortex combined with the magnetic field is the best. Providing you remember to take into account
the Zeta potential - one of the 5 essential factors that determines a colloids
life and effectiveness. Too much of a magnetic charge can make your structure
(and its resulting colloid) almost worthless. In between is the stirring method.
Put the water into a cup or glass and stir it with a magnet, swiftly enough for
a vortex to form in the liquid. Stir for 30 seconds. Let the water stand for 6
minutes at least. This produces structuring four times better than the shaking
method. Repeat the stirring method after the first 6 minutes and you'll make it
almost as good as the funnel method, which follows.
With the funnel method you acquire a funnel that produces a vortex of swirling of the water as
it empties. Not all funnels will do this. The swirl should be in a clockwise
direction. Attach one or two magnets to the outside of the funnel, on opposite
sides, down near the narrow end, with the positive side and negative sides in
toward the funnel. Pour the water thru the funnel (making sure of the swirling
action). Let stand at least 6 minutes and repeat. This method produces an
excellent structure, but it only works well if you're doing a quart or more at a
time.
Energized Water
by Pat Beatty
A few years ago I was reading a history book
about London and I read that 23 ley lines (streaks of electricity in the ground)
converge in Islington where there's a spa that people use to cure all manner of
diseases. It's similar to Lourdes but without the religion. There were several
such spas scattered around England at one time, but most fell into disuse
because doctors claimed that it wasn't the water that was curing people, but the
fresh air, the wholesome food, and the rest that they got during their stay that
did the trick. This ignores the fact that local people were using the waters for
cures long before the spas were built.
It occurred to me that the water might have been
energized by the electricity in the ley lines and that that was the secret to
the cures. It also occurred to me that what Mother Nature can do Woman can often
replicate. So I set about experimenting and after a few years and many failures
I finally succeeded.
I have no background in medicine or science, nor had I ever heard of free radicals,
so I had to start from scratch and had to do a lot of reading. One of
the books I read was "Cross Currents" by Robert
O. Becker M.D. Dr. Becker has done many experiments on the effects
of electricity on living tissue and one thing that really struck me
was his discovery that disintegrating tissue has a positive electrical
charge and regenerating tissue has a negative charge. I had also discovered
free radicals during this time and so I knew that what I needed was
water with a negative charge but I had no idea how to do this. Then
I read about the leydon jar and everything fell into place.
During, and before, this time I had been
suffering from fibromyalgia and all the attendant side affects of that disease
so I had a special interest in doing this, and I also had the perfect Guinea Pig
on which to try out my experiments. It used to take all morning to massage my
hands and feet into usability, so imagine my delight when I woke up one morning
able to move my hands after drinking just one glass of water which I had
successfully energized the night before. My hands were still non-functional and
I still couldn't walk properly but I did feel much better than I had for years.
Over the next few days I increased my dosage to two and then three glasses a day
with better and better results each day. By the fourth day I was able to walk
properly and my hands were fully functional (but still painful). More about this
later.
At the time I started using energized water, I
was taking an anti-inflammatory which was very hard on my stomach, a sulphur
compound which was also very hard on my stomach, and antacids to undo some of
the damage done by the other two and to alleviate a hiatus hernia which was very
troublesome. As I ran out of each medication, I just didn't replace it as I
found that I didn't need it any more. I now take no medication of any kind; If I
feel a cold or something coming on I just drink a glass of energized water and
the symptoms go away.
Since then my health has improved by leaps and
bounds and I would like to share what I have learned with you in the hopes that
you too can live a better and longer life. I live in a seniors complex and have
given this negatively charged water to several of my neighbors with mostly good
results and nobody has reported any adverse side effects. It either helps or
does nothing. Mostly it helps, and it won't cost you anything to try.
Energized Water - Instructions
The following pages are instructions for energizing water and for testing it
afterward, along with some ideas on how to use it and what to expect.
To energize water you will need:
-
Water - boil first to kill any critters that
might also benefit from the negative charge.
-
A stainless steel or enamel container - a
saucepan will do fine. Or you can construct a modified leydon jar by lining a
plastic container, inside and out, almost to the top, with aluminum foil. The
foil must fit snugly and cover the bottom as well as the sides. I use a 3lb.
margarine tub.
-
A battery: I prefer a C or D battery - a weak
battery won't work properly.
-
2 pieces of wire or 1/2in. strips of aluminum
foil about 6 inches long. I use wire from an old toaster cord and stripped
about 1/2in. of plastic from the ends.
Water is neutral by nature and giving it a
negative charge is a simple matter of removing protons. To do this:
-
Fill your container about half full.
-
Hold the two pieces of wire to the positive and
negative poles of the battery with the thumb and forefinger of one hand.
-
Place the positively attached wire inside the
container and the negatively attached wire on the outside above the water
line.
-
Pinch the wires together firmly for a second or
two with the container side between them.
-
In electricity, positive follows the negative
and so some protons will be removed. This will leave the water with a mild
negative charge. Electrons tend to jump back and forth, so don't pinch the
wires together for too long or you might not get the results you need.
Energized Water - Test
In all likelihood your water has been energized,
but it is very hard to tell because energized water looks, tastes, and feels
exactly the same as regular water. There is a simple test however.
To test the water you will need:
-
A Styrofoam ball about the size of a marble
attached to a thread. Styrofoam balls can be bought at a craft store or carved
out of packing material. Thread a needle with about 8 or 10 inches of thread
and push the needle through the centre of the ball. Be sure to tie a large
enough knot in the end of the thread or it will pull through.
-
A plastic or glass container. I use a plastic
1litre milk bottle, but the glass that you're going to drink from is fine too.
The container and the ball may carry a charge of
their own, so they should be neutralized before you begin. Taps are grounded by
law so if you touch each item and a tap simultaneously it should neutralize
them. To make sure, dangle the ball beside the container, not quite touching,
and see if the ball moves toward the container, or away, or just hangs there. It
should just hang there. You are now ready to proceed:
-
Pour the treated water into the neutralized
container.
-
Dangle the ball alongside the container, below
the water line, and about 1/8th" away.
-
When the ball has quit twisting and turning it
should appear to freeze and then pull away slightly. This is indicative of a
negative charge and means that your water is ready to use.
-
If you have a systemic illness, another good
test would be to drink a glass and see if you feel any better in the morning.
-
For localized problems such as low back pain,
try applying some on or near the general vicinity. It might work immediately
or you may have to re-apply once or twice.
Drinking 1 to 3 glasses a day should be enough
for most illnesses, although it won't be harmful to drink more if desired. After
that, a glass occasionally will suffice.
Energized Water - Tips
It has been proven that most physical conditions,
and some mental conditions, are the result of free radicals or at least have a
free radical component to them. A free radical is a molecule with a negative
electron missing from the outer rim. They roam around the body stealing
electrons from other molecules setting up a domino effect which can be very
harmful to the body and cause any number of problems or exacerbate existing
ones. Free radicals can be neutralized, however, by drinking negatively charged
water which will provide the needed electron and result in an immediate
improvement in your health.
As I mentioned before, I had fibromyalgia at the
time I started using energized water. Although the inflammation died down almost
immediately and I felt much better, my fingers were still swollen and twisted
and my feet still hurt. One of the effects of arthritis is a shortening of
muscles and tendons and I surmised that this was the problem. So I developed a
simple stretching routine that worked for me and you are welcome to try it. All
of the following exercises should be done several times a day.
HANDS: Place your hands palm down, on the arm of
your chair or on your lap. Curl your fingers under as far as they will
comfortably go (don't force) and just sit there like that for a few moments and
let the weight of your hand do the work. This might cause pain in the palms of
your hands and wrists. If this happens, when the pain becomes too intense -
stop.
FEET: Sit with your feet straight in front of you
and flex them by trying to point your toes toward your shins. This will stretch
the arch which should help with pain. Especially heel pain.
SHOULDERS: Stand on tiptoe, raise your arms, and
try as hard as you can to touch the ceiling. This is great for your shoulders,
good for your feet, and stretches the spine.
When I had fibromyalgia I also had other
problems. Some, if not most, were related to that disease. The most disturbing
was trouble with my heart. The week prior to my first drinking the water my
heart slowed down and almost stopped. Twice. I also used to get palpitations for
several years. Neither problem has occurred since I started drinking the water.
Another problem I had with my heart was what felt like a lightning bolt just as
I was at the point of falling asleep. This problem took a little longer to
resolve itself but it gradually faded away.
Many of my more minor ailments have disappeared
since starting to drink the water: mouth sores - which includes a very painful
tip of the tongue; dry eyes; gastronomical disturbances - I can now eat anything
I want; swollen ankles; haitus hernia; and I've lost weight.
By applying the water I have been successful in
treating: sciatica; painful kneecaps; low back pain; a suspicious looking mole
is no longer suspicious looking; burns - a very bad burn such as boiling oil
needs a poultice - A piece of paper towel, kept wet, will do; an itchy rash on
my midriff; insect bites; wounds heal faster; It eases the ache of varicose
veins - for hemorrhoids, wet a wad of toilet paper and hold in the appropriate
place for a minute or two.
Water can be energized in larger amounts in a
larger container if you wish, and can be stored for long periods of time. It can
be kept in the fridge or at room temperature.
Energized Water Tips
Free radicals cannot be avoided. They are
everywhere: In the food you eat - even the digestion process produces free
radicals; They are in the air - from the electromagnetic energy emanating from
appliances and from the sun; Strenuous exercise can cause free radicals to
develop as can stress. Most old-age complaints are the result of an accumulation
of free radicals.
Here is a partial list of problems that might be
helped by using this very powerful antioxidant:
Cancer cells are said to be surrounded by
inflammation and that the cancer feeds off this. Inflammation is essentially
free radicals and can be eliminated with energized water. I already mentioned my
experience with suspected melanoma. The sicker an AIDS (or any other) patient
is, the more free radicals they have in their system.
One cause of heart disease
is now thought to be inflammation, not cholesterol. I wouldn't recommend
energized water for those using pacemakers, though, as there is an electrical
charge, albeit a very mild one. Recent studies conclude that free radicals play
a part in diabetes and that using antioxidants brings the condition under
control. I was slightly hypoglycemic when I first started drinking the water and
haven't had any problems since. Be careful though if using medication. Only do
this under medical supervision - I don't want anyone to go into insulin shock.
Asthma and allergies are inflammatory responses to allergens and may be helped
by using energized water.
Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, gout,
and many forms of arthritis can be helped by using energized water as
inflammation is a major factor in these autoimmune diseases. Many people have
used energized water to deal with hiatus hernia, nausea, ulcers, mouth sores,
indigestion, and other gastric problems. Free radicals are even involved in some
mental problems; They do genetic damage and could be the major cause of Down's
Syndrome if Mom has a surfeit of them during pregnancy.
The Chinook Winds of
Calgary are loaded with positive ions and are said to be a contributing factor
of depression. Colds, flu, and fever can all be can all be chased away by a
glass or two of energized water. Free radicals are also blamed for many other
problems, including: Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, ALS, MS, Edema, and more.
Energized water can also be used for pets and, I am told, is good for plants and
will prolong the life of cut flowers. Broken bones may heal faster with the use
of energized water. If there is a cast, wet a cloth or paper towel with the
water and place above and/or below the cast. If the cast has been removed, place
it directly on the area of the fracture. Healing after surgery may occur quicker
if an energized water soaked cloth is place on or near the problem area.
