Scientifically, testimonials are considered as hearsay and are sometimes rejected as inadmissible evidence of benefits of an agent for health. However, when the number of testimonials of an effect becomes significant, it is unlikely that the events have occurred by chance alone. Water ionizers have a track record of over 30 years and millions of units sold. Many people have reported amazing results. Testimonials are given by people who wish to share their experiences and are solely for information purposes.

ALKALIZING WORKS!

I've been on the alkaline diet for months now, a bit longer than I've been on the water, as I thought there's no point paying for an expensive water machine and not doing the diet, too. Otherwise bad diet cancels the good work of the water. Getting better at alkaline diet/water each month, have had terrific results:

·         over 20 lbs lost so far

·         blood pressure better than normal after it went up last year for 1st time (when I had to stop running first time in my life)

·         better skin

·         deeper, sounder sleep

·         more energy (no low energy mid-afternoon)

·         brain fog gone

·         memory better

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

"In December 1986 I was introduced to a water ionizer by a friend of mine in Virginia. She told me that the alkaline water from this ionizer would lower my blood pressure if I drank 5 cups of it daily. In those days I was taking 20mg of Vasotec a day to maintain my blood pressure at around 140/90. Vasotec was my third kind of blood pressure pill. The doctor had to change my blood pressure pills twice because of different kinds of side effects. I never liked the idea of having to take any pills for the rest of my life. Thats what the doctor told me when he initially prescribed the blood pressure pills for me. My friend didnt know exactly why the blood pressure would come down except for the fact that she knew it worked for many people. Trusting her sincerity and knowing she was a registered nurse, I bought the ionizer and started to drink high pH alkaline water. As I was drinking the alkaline water I monitored my blood pressure. I reduced the amount of Vasotec gradually as the blood pressure started to come down. After six weeks, I stopped taking Vasotec altogether. My blood pressure came down to 130/85 without my pills. In the meantime, over a period of two years, I lost about 20 pounds without any special diets or exercises. Lately I am noticing that my eyesight is improving."

 OVERALL HEALTH

"Replacing my reverse osmosis water purifier with a Jupiter Ionizer four months ago has been one of the best investments in my health that I have made. I used to wake up with a puffy face, which would take 2-3 hours to go away. I no longer have this problem. My eyes are clearer and brighter, my skin finer in texture, and I sleep soundly at night, no longer waking up with insomnia.
I now have the kind of energy which gets me through a very stressful job, in which I often do not have the time for a break, often working 9-10 hours straight.
It is true that this water is not 'heavy' on the stomach; I'm able to drink without difficulty. Since changing my drinking water I have also lost about 3 kg. and this being during a period where I actually reduced the amount of exercise I was doing! When I work out with weights, and drink up to a liter, my recovery is impressive - I no longer suffer the kinds of aches previously felt."

Macushla Boyle, St. Lucia

ARTHRITIS

"I wanted to let you know my experience using the Jupiter Melody and alkalizing my body. Prior to getting my Jupiter I had suffered from creeping and debilitating arthritis in both knees. My right knee I could barely bend. Walking had become difficult and running impossible without my knees swelling up. For a man under 50 this was not an exciting prospect.

I had heard about alkaline water from my internet research and decided to give it a go. I purchased the Jupiter about 18 months ago and have not looked back. I drink between 5-6 large glasses a day. I also drastically cut my sugar intake down at the same time as starting drinking alkaline water. Now both my knees function PERFECTLY with no pain. I can walk, run and jump with no adverse reactions.

Needless to say I am a strong advocate of alkalising. Thank you to Ion Life for this great product." -- Mike Logie

"When I started to drink this delicious water 6 years ago, it took about 4 weeks and all my arthritic pains in my thumb, wrists and knee disappeared, to be never heard of since. It helps my digestion and makes me feel clean inside out." -- Ama Kalda, Coorabell, Australia

HYPER-ACIDITY

About l years ago, I went to see a gastric specialist. For a long time I had gastric disorder. I took a lot of antacid and charcoal pills. Prior to seeing the specialist I was taking these medications everyday because I was feeling great discomfort. At times, it was so bad that I even dreaded sleeping at night as there would be this extreme discomfort near my chest and sometimes there was a kind of funny bubbly feeling so closed to my heart. At that time, I thought it was a heart condition. I went to see a specialist. They did an endoscopy and they told me it was hyperacidity and some inflammation of the duodenum. My doctor put me on medication. The condition cleared for about 3 months and then the discomfort returned. Somehow, subsequent medications did not work as well as before.

Sometime around Sept/Oct 2001, my sister-in-law bought a Jupiter antioxidant water ionizer. She told me about some of its qualities being antioxidant and alkaline in nature. One day, I was at their home and I took a glass of this water. And perhaps because of my heightened sensitivity, I could actually sense a difference - I felt somewhat more comfortable. From that time onward, I took this water regularly over the course of 2 to 3 months. And every week as I took it, I would feel better. Sometime at the end of December, I decided to test out and see how things would go. I then stopped for a while and wonderfully, all the symptoms and pains never came back. I did not take any medication from that time onwards. I was able to sleep well. In fact, prior to that, I had difficulty taking things like coffee and tea. I understand now that it was due to pH imbalance and I would feel very uncomfortable. But now, I could drink my coffee and tea in moderation.

The Jupiter alkaline ionized antioxidant water has certainly made a difference to me.

KNEE PAIN, INDIGESTION, FOOD CRAVINGS

"After purchasing our Jupiter water purifier five months ago, I have been drinking 3 to 4 liters daily. We found the Bathurst water supply had a consistent pH reading of 7, so we started off on the lower setting, drinking alkaline water with a pH of 8. We then progressed to the higher settings and have been consuming pH 9 ever since.

Prior to Ionized water I had aches and pains in my knees which I suspected to be ligament or cartilage damage after a long sporting life. This eventually dissipated and when I visited my Naturopath yesterday he confirmed, via his computer iridology scan, there was no longer any visual signs of uric acid in the body. It's great to be able to run up and down stairs again without hindrance. He also showed me the fibers in my eyes controlling my kidneys had improved, and these were more clearly defined, indicating better organ functioning. I advised him my candida had also improved and he confirmed this by showing me that the discolored spots (mucus) around my eyes had lightened since my previous scan.

My wife Rhonda had suffered from indigestion for many years before drinking the alkaline water. Her digestive system has improved and she is no longer dependent upon Bi-Carb Soda or Enos for relief. She has also noticed improvement to her knees (also problems due to sport) and we have both lost about 5k in 5 months, mainly around our waistlines. We found a glass of water quickly suppressed the appetite and stopped us snacking on inappropriate food between meals. The antioxidant water has proved very addictive and it made us crave for more. Rhonda recently commented that we haven't had the dreaded hay fever this year (first time for 20 years), thus no drugs have been required for relief.

After recently completing a course of external chemotherapy (Efudix) to treat skin cancers, I found the healing process to repair the skin more rapid, after treating my internal system with the alkaline water (antioxidants), and my external body with the acid water (astringent).

We have also been using the acid water on our garden and indoor plants. As the Bathurst climate is very extreme it is difficult to grow azaleas, but the acid water is doing the trick. Our indoor peace lilies have bloomed for the second time in six months, (an annual occurrence only prior to Jupiter watering). The acid water is also proving a good pesticide for the vegie garden, eliminating the use of those nasty chemicals, which previously found their way into our bodies and did untold damage.

We say, God Bless those who help themselves to better health by being water wise(r)."

Bob & Rhonda Henry, Bathurst

FAMILY BENEFITS

"Our family has been using the Jupiter Water Ionizer for the past two weeks and we have noticed quite a change in all of us.

Our youngest is 16 months old, has had more energy throughout the day; which, to our favour, has been sleeping better through the night. When she gets thirsty, she picks up her cup and points to the water cooler. However, I would advise parents who breast feed to take into consideration that your child is consuming more water than we realize.

On the other hand, the three adults in the family have had some changes also, to say the least! We have become more regular in our bowel movement. Our bodies have been releasing toxins through flatulation and through excessive urination.

We have also been using the acid water, which has cleared up dandruff. It has also helped with uncontrollable hair frizz and has made hair feel like silk. These are, however, minor to someone who has been using this system for some time.

These are only some changes that have occurred over a two week period, so one can just imagine the potential health benefits using this system over a lifetime, which we are definitely looking forward to."

CURING FOOT ULCERS

Dr Robert O. Young, ION LIFE water drinker and alkaline balance pioneer sent us this story that he received from a client recently:

"I had a small toe on my left foot that had turned black down to the 1st joint and had to be removed. While in the hospital an ulcer on the ball of my big toe had formed. The doctor decided that if it were removed he could stitch up the area in order for it to heal itself. After many surgeries in an attempt to get the ulcer to heal, nothing seemed to make any improvement.

A while later a visiting nurse recommended a wound vacuum to be placed on the ulcer in an attempt to keep the area dry. This procedure went on for 2 1/2 months with no change at all. My surgeon abandoned the vacuum treatment and then wanted to stitch up the bottom of my foot again. I didn't want to go through with this process again. This is because it hadn't worked before and I had great doubts as to whether it would work this time as well.

I began to talk to a Doctor in Springfield who had high hopes for me. From his conversation and the tests he would perform he thought I might get some much-needed relief from having to bandage this wound everyday. I was very disappointed to find out he was going down the same path as my previous surgeon not to mention I wasn't getting any results from the tests he had ordered either.

My wife and I left Springfield and never looked back. I told my wife I was going home and soak my feet in this pH water [acid] that my brother Jerry had gotten from you. I hoped this was going to work like he had heard it would from others. To be honest with you, I had my doubts but decided to give the water a try anyway.

I warmed the water up and soaked my left foot in it for about 45-60 minutes. I then allowed my foot to air dry and bandaged it. After doing this procedure for 3 days (December 21-24) on Christmas Eve I changed the bandage. To my surprise I noticed that the wound was healed over and the area was firm to the touch. I couldn't believe it at first and called to my wife to come have a look to confirm what I was seeing. My wife had the same reaction that I had; she couldn't believe it was finally healed!

It has been almost exactly 1 year to date since the ulcer appeared, which has caused me to miss work for 6 months straight, not to mention all the money that was lost in wages. I can't begin to tell you what this healing pH miracle water has done for me. It has given me restored faith in God and his healing. I wish we had heard about this water many months ago.

Thank you so much!"

Gout and Pigmentation                                            

My daughter came home from a trip in the U.S. and told me to find out more about the alkaline ionic water processor which gives pollutants free water yet has all its minerals unlike the distilled water. I began to read up on the goodness of alkaline ionic water, the different kinds of water filters and processors and the types of water they produce.

Through my sister-in-law, Grace, I came to know about Kay and Kemp Trading. I bought the processor from her Company.

In the first few months of drinking this water, I was pleasantly surprised that I did not experience any gout attacks, even minor ones. I don't know when I started to have gout till about 4 years ago. I had my first severe gout attack. I began to experience more and more frequent attacks till in 1998 when just eating a piece of bean curd or drinking a small bowl of meat soup would give me a very painful gout attack. I needed 5 full doses of injections to relieve the pain.

Now, it is more than a year since I started drinking the water and I have not had a single gout attack.

Last but not least and it would not be fair if I do not mention here about the comments made by my husband and my friends that the dark patches of pigmentation on my face have shrink and lightened tremendously.  I hope you are encouraged by my testimony and start trying for yourselves if you have the same problem.

MUSCULAR PAIN

Dr. Eric Fairbank, Naturopath, Australia

"For years I suffered uncomfortable rheumatic muscular aches / pains and digestive problems. After only 3-4 days of drinking alkaline water my muscular endurance improved dramatically. Now 12 months later, I feel 20 years younger and rarely have any problems. Also my digestive problems just disappeared!"

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

Prof. Kuninaka Hironage, Head of Kuninaka Hospital

For over 10 years of my experience, my concept toward minerals, especially pertaining to ionic calcium in high blood pressure and other diseases, is most significant.

In accordance to the theory of medical Professor Gato of Kyushu University on Vitamin K (because vitamin K enables the blood calcium to increase), or the consumption of more ionized water, the effectiveness of the increase in the calcium in high blood pressure is most significant. Too many fats in the diets, which lead to the deposition of cholesterol on the blood vessels, which in turn constrict the blood flow, cause most illnesses such as high blood pressure.

By drinking ionized water for a period of 2 to 3 months, the blood pressure should slowly drop, because the ionized water is a good solvent, which dissolves the cholesterol in the blood vessels.

PRE-ECLAMPTIC TOXEMIA

Prof. Watanabe Ifao. Watanabe Hospital

Alkaline ionized water improves body constituents and ensures effective healing to many illnesses. The use of alkaline ionized water in gynecological patients has proved to be very effective. The main reason for its effectiveness is that this water can neutralize toxins.

When giving alkaline ionized water to pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, the results are very significant. During my long years of servicing pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, I found that women with pre-eclamptic toxemia who consumed alkaline ionized water tend to deliver healthier babies with stronger muscles. A survey report carried out on babies in this group has intelligence above average.

HEADACHEs

A Naturopath's Experience with Ionized water and dark Field Microscopy
Sue Pollock, N.D. is the principal of Ballina Naturopathy

A Man in his late 40s presented to my clinic with chronic headaches. Had been seeing his doctor and chiropractor with no changes in his symptoms. On Live Blood examination using a microscope we found he had lots of chemical and uric acid crystals (works on a farm), as well as massive platelet clusters (clotting factors).
After discussing his water source (rain water with chemical drift), he decided it could be beneficial to purchase and use the ionized water from a Jupiter System. He was also prescribed supplements to reduce his platelet size and numbers, feeling this build-up could be causing his headaches (blood vessels to head restrict flow). I normally check the blood after 3 months, but in this case, because I referred him back to a GP, we wanted to look at his blood before the visit, only eight days after the initial examination and only four days after being on the water.
I did not expect to see much change, as normally the supplements take a few months to show radical improvement, but hoped to see a slight shift to show we were on the right track.
Well, we were both amazed, as his blood looked great. All crystals were gone and platelets had reduced to completely normal size and number. He also said that since drinking the alkaline water he had more energy and he'd only had one headache which was before he started the water. (He was having major headaches every second day and dull headaches the other days). He feels the results were to do with drinking the water and I tend to agree as the supplements as great as they are do not usually work that fast. I am glad I'm drinking the water too."

HEART DISEASE

Prof. Kuwata Keijiroo, Doctor of Medicine

In my opinion, the wonder of ionized water is the ability to neutralize toxins; but it is not a medicine. The difference is that the medicines can only be applied to each individual case. Whereas alkaline ionized water can be consumed generally, and its neutralizing power is something which is very much unexpected. Now, in brief, let me introduce to you a heart disease case and how it was cured. The patient was a 35 year old male suffering from vascular heart disease. For 5 years, his sickness deteriorated. He was in the Setagays Government Hospital for treatment.

During those 5 years, he had been in and out of the hospital 5 to 6 times. He had undergone high tech examinations such as angiogram by injecting VINYL via the vein into the heart. He consulted and sought treatment from many good doctors. Later he underwent a major surgical operation. Upon his discharge from the hospital, he quit his job to convalesce. However, each time when his illness relapsed, the attack seemed to be even more severe. Last year, in August, his relatives were in despair and expected he would not live much longer. It so happened at that time that the victim's relative came across an ionized water processor. His illness responded well and he is now on the road to recovery.

ECZEMA

Prof. Tamura Tatsuji, Keifuku Rehabilitation Center

Eczema is used to describe several varieties of skin conditions, which have a number of common features. The exact causes of eczema are not fully understood. In many cases, eczema can be attributed to external irritants.

Let me introduce a patient who recovered from skin disease after consuming the alkaline ionized water. This patient suffered 10 years of eczema and could not be cured effectively even under specialist treatment. This patient, who is 70 years of age, is the President of a vehicle parts company. After the war, his lower limbs suffered acute eczema, which later became chronic. He was repeatedly treated in a specialist skin hospital.

The left limb responded well to treatment, but not so the right limb. He suffered severe itchiness, which, when scratched, led to bleeding. During the last 10 years, he was seen and treated by many doctors. When I first examined him, his lower limb around the joints was covered with vesicles. Weeping occurred owing to serum exuding from the vesicles.

I advised him to try consuming alkaline ionized water. He bought a unit and consumed the alkaline ionized water religiously and used the acidic water to bathe the affected areas. After 2 weeks of treatment the vesicles dried up. The eczema was completely cleared without any relapse after 1 1/2 months.

ALLERGY

Prof. Kuninaka Hironaga, Head of Kuninaka-Hospital

Mr. Yamada, the head of Police Research Institute, suffered from severe allergy. He was treated repeatedly by skin specialist, but with no success. Then he started consuming ionized water. The allergy responded very well and was soon completely cured. No relapse had occurred, although he had taken all kinds of food. He was most grateful and excited about this treatment.

As for myself, I had also suffered severe allergy. Ever since I began to consume alkaline ionized water, the allergy has recovered. Since then, I started research on the effectiveness of ionized water.

I discovered that most allergies are due to acidification of body condition and are also related to consuming too much meat and sugar. In every allergy case, the patient's antioxidant minerals are excessively low, which in turn lowers the body resistance significantly. The body becomes overly sensitive and develops allergy easily. To stabilize the sensitivity, calcium solution is injected into the vein. Therefore, it is clear that the ionized water--that has ionic calcium -- can help alleviate allergy.

The ionic calcium not only enhances the heart, urination, and neutralization of toxins but controls acidity. It also enhances the digestive system and liver function. It will promote natural healing power and hence increase resistance to allergy. Some special cases of illness, which do not respond to drugs, are found to respond well to alkaline ionized water.

GOUT and GENERAL HEALTH

Dr. Gerry Brady

I have practiced Medicine for 27 years and currently I practice exclusively in adult medicine in the CBD of Brisbane. I have a very broad experience of Medicine, also having founded one of Australia's most successful Biotechnology companies, Progen Industries.

However, my great passion for Italian wine and Italian mineral water recently led me to investigate the pH and minerality of wine which, in turn, led me to the pH and minerality of water (as wine is principally water). After this investigation, I became interested in Alkaline water and then I began using a water ionizer about 5 weeks ago. Let me tell you what has happened to me personally since using a water ionizer.

	My Plantar Fasciitis has disappeared (pain in the feet in the mornings)
	My Gout has disappeared
	A long standing seborrheic keratosis on my forehead has stripped off spontaneously (present for 3 years and resistant to any attempts to pick it off)
	My aerobic capacity has improved ++
	My bowel motions have turned to a much lighter colour
	I have become more sleepy at night and sleep "like a baby", waking energized.
	My body's peripheral tissues (including my brain) initially felt they were "zinging" and "superhydrated"
	My energy levels are improved overall. And some people who know me well have even said that my grey hair has darkened!

I am 50 years old. Almost all of these effects occurred soon after using Alkaline Ionized Water.

DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS

Prof. Kogure Keizou, Kogure Clinic of Juntendo Hospital

The stomach is readily upset both by diseases affecting the stomach and by other general illnesses. In addition, any nervous tension or anxiety frequently causes gastric upset.

The important role of alkaline ionized water in our stomach is to neutralize the secretion and strengthen its functions. Usually, after consuming the alkaline ionized water for 1 to 3 minutes, the gastric juice increases to 1 1/2 times. For those suffering from achlorhydria (low in gastric juice ) the presence of alkaline ionized water will stimulate the stomach cells to secrete more gastric juice. This in turn enhances digestion and absorption of minerals.

However, on the other hand, those with hyperchlorhydria (high in gastric juice), the alkaline ionized water neutralizes the excessive gastric juice. Hence, it does not create any adverse reaction.

According to the medical lecturer from Maeba University, the pH of the gastric secretion will still remain normal when alkaline ionized water is consumed. This proves the ability of ionized water to neutralize as well as to stimulate the secretion.

Prof. Kuwata Keijiroo, Doctor of Medicine

When I was serving in the Fire Insurance Association, I used to examine many diabetic patients. Besides treating them with drugs, I provided them with alkaline ionized water. After drinking ionized water for one month, 15 diabetic patients were selected and sent to Tokyo University for further test and observations.

Initially, the more serious patients were a bit apprehensive about the treatment. When the alkaline ionized water was consumed for some time, the sugar in the blood and urine ranged from a ratio of 300 mg/l to 2 mg/ dc. There was a time where the patient had undergone 5 to 6 blood tests a day and detected to be within normal range. Results also showed that even 1 1/2 hour after meals, the blood sugar and urine ratio was 100 mg/dc 0 mg/dc. The sugar in the urine has completely disappeared.

OBESITY

Prof. Hatori Tasutaroo, Head of Akajiuiji Blood Centre, Yokohama Hospital, Faitama District

Due to a higher standard of living, our eating habits have changed. We consume too much proteins, fats and sugar. The excess fats and carbohydrates are in the body as fats. In the present lifestyles, Americans are more extravagant in food compared to the Japanese. Due to this excessive intake, obesity is a significant problem. Normally, one out of five males and one out of four females is obese.

The degree of "burn-out" in food intake largely depends on the amount on intake of vitamins and minerals. When excessive intake of proteins, carbohydrates and fats occurs, the requirement for vitamins and minerals increases. However, there is not much research carried out pertaining to the importance of vitamins and minerals.

Nowadays, many people suffer from acidification that leads to diabetes, heart diseases, cancer, live and kidney diseases. If our food intake can be completely burned off, then there is no deposition of fats. Obviously, there will be no acidification problem and hence there should not be any sign of obesity.

The alkaline ionized water contains an abundance of ionic calcium. This ionic calcium helps in the "burn-off" process. By drinking alkaline ionized water, it provides sufficient minerals for our body. As a result, we do not need to watch our diet to stay slim.

Hence, alkaline ionized water is a savior for those differing from obesity and many adult diseases, providing good assistance in enhancing good health.
