Ionizers transform ordinary tap water into the healthiest drinking water available. Using advanced water ionization technology, Ionizers create great-tasting alkaline drinking water with an abundance of negative ions that neutralize active oxygen (free radicals). The ionization process also breaks regular water molecules into easily absorbed micro-clusters, resulting in better hydration.

First developed in Japan in the 1950s, water ionizers use an electrical charge to split water into alkaline water (with a pH above 7.0) and acidic water (with a pH below 7.0). The higher the pH of the drinking water, the more effective it is at combating the damaging effects of acids in the body.

Ionized and Energized water is alkaline and is the healthiest water available, addressing many health issues. Ionizers make the most of one of our most important & abundant natural resources on the planet – Water.

The majority of your body is comprised of about 70% water, and your brain is about 80% water. Most body functions are regulated by water, such as pH balance, waste removal systems and temperature. These systems are all heavily affected by the amount and quality of your water intake.

We first need to note that the body produces no iodine, and there is no organ other than the thyroid that can store large quantities of iodine. In some areas of the US, including mountain regions, the Mississippi River Valley, the Ohio River Valley, and the Great Lakes regions, the soil has always had a very low iodine content. But even in other areas of once iodine-rich soil, over farming has frequently depleted this iodine content.

Hence, we no longer get adequate iodine via the plants we consume. To compensate for this, iodine was added to salt, bread, and milk. Today iodine is no longer added to bread or to milk, and the amount of iodine added to salt has steadily declined over the years. All of these factors contribute to the current prevalence of iodine deficiency in the United States.

The main function of iodine in your body is to balance the endocrine system (especially the thyroid gland), resulting in greater ability to manage your emotional states. This is more obvious in women because of different hormonal dynamics. Its secondary function is to regulate reproductive organs (ovaries & breasts in women, prostate in men).

Adequate iodine intake will also result in much-improved muscular coordination, flexibility and strength, plus improved vision as the eye muscles loose their unwanted calcium that causes hardening and stiffness.

Iodine supplementation can also induce long term remission of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

The British government plans to ban the sale of the less energy-efficient incandescent light bulbs after 2011, as part of an effort to curb the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming.

But according to health advocates including the Skin Care Campaign, Spectrum and even the British Association of Dermatologists, fluorescent light bulbs are known to worsen skin rashes in people with a variety of diseases and conditions including dermatitis, eczema, lupus, photosensitivity, porphyria and Xeroderma Pigmentosum.

And what is a major component of these bulbs? Mercury….

The ADR-3 influences its surroundings, neutralizing and harmonizing energy forces. This leaves you with your energy flow returned and renewed.

We are all exposed to negative energies from the earth (radiation of underground water, storm or sewage pipes, caves or mineral bodies), and human generated sources (electromagnetic fields in computers, appliances, cell phones, power lines, etc.). These negative energies can sap your strength.

The ADR-3 consists of a magnetic disc embedded in a ceramic casing, about 3″ in diameter and 1/4″ thick. Inside, the main element creates resonance effects that changes its surroundings. The resulting harmony improves the functioning of living organisms.

Blood is critical to your overall health. It not only supplies oxygen to your cells, it transports nutrients, helps eliminate wastes, controls your temperature, heals wounds and fights off infection. It, therefore, goes without saying that your blood must remain healthy and clean. Regularly cleansing the blood is recommended, especially when you begin to feel weak or sick. To do so involves a simple, three to five day cleansing program.

The best juices for blood purification are lemon juice, beet juice, carrot juice, and the juices of all leafy greens. Leafy green juices are particularly important because they supply chlorophyll, an essential part of any blood purification therapy. Chlorophyll not only cleanses the blood of impurities, but also builds up the blood with important nutrients, promotes regularity, and inhibits cellular damage from radiation. This makes chlorophyll helpful in the treatment of many disorders. Wheatgrass, barley, and alfalfa juices are all rich in chlorophyll.

Hundreds of chemicals – ranging from gases such as carbon monoxide to toxic metals such as lead to natural substances such as fat – can find their way into the blood and impair its function. These foreign substances enter the body through the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and surfaces with which we come in contact through our skin. Because these substances act on the blood in different ways, the adverse effects they produce may vary widely.

Signs and symptoms of Kidney stones and poor kidney health

Lower back pain, kidney pain, edema (“water holding”), like lungs edema, arms edema, legs edema, abdomen edema, blood in urine, …

It takes a lot of liquid to “wash” the inside of your body. Taking it in the form of juice or herbal teas can give you some extra benefits and extra enjoyment, if you learn to make them with variations – especially if you need to produce a gallon of urine a day!

Any edema or “water holding”, whether in lungs, arms, or abdomen, also requires strengthening of kidneys with kidney cleansing.

Main symptom of kidney stones is a pain in the lower and middle back (kidney area, or spine), but as that pain can be excruciating, some people may feel the pain in different parts of their body.

There are hundreds of herbal recipes, and many different homeopathic remedies used for cleansing kidney stones.

The master chemist portion of the liver metabolizes proteins, fats and carbohydrates providing energy and nutrients for the other systems of the body. It creates bile to help emulsify fats making them easier to break down into their fatty-acid components, works to maintain electrolyte (magnesium/calcium and potassium/sodium) levels, is involved in the formation and breakdown of blood and helps to maintain water balance by producing serum proteins.

As a supply office, the liver will provide extra blood on demand in case of a critical situation. It also stores fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.

As a fuel storage facility, it stores B vitamins, minerals and sugars. The latter are stored as a reserve sugar called glycogen which is meant to be released when blood stores of available glucose become low due to exercise, stress or delayed eating.

Functioning as the major detoxifying organ of the body, the liver is responsible for filtering the blood and removing harmful bacteria and chemicals including the breakdown and elimination of excess hormones. This function of your liver has been dramatically overburdened within the last two generations because of the impact of our polluting technologies and lifestyle habits: unending stress, poor diet, alcohol & drugs and environmental toxins.

Hydrated Bentonite Clay

A Priceless Gift from Mother Nature… Herbal First Aid

by Dr. Richard Anderson

One of the first items to include in an herbal “first aid kit” would be hydrated Bentonite. Bentonite is known for its highly absorptive properties and its ability to draw out and bind heavy metals, drugs and other toxins from the body.

This clay has been used for thousands of years as both an internal and external purification aid.

The Egyptians used it to preserve their famous mummies. The ancient Greeks and Romans used it to restore health. The great German Naturopaths of the last century hailed clay as one of nature’s great remedies. Mahatma Ghandi advocated the use of clay for health and purification. Numerous so-called ‘primitive’ tribes have used clay for both internal and external purification.

Today, Bentonite clay is increasingly used both internally and externally by those interested in natural remedies, and it is included on the FDA’s famous “GRASS” list, which stands for “Generally Recognized as Safe.”

Assimilation and elimination are the two key stones that make us tick. Edgar Cayce said that if we could control these aspects of the human form, we could extend life to whatever we chose, that’s how important these two principles are.
Assimilation

Assimilation is defined as the measure of the ability of any body to utilize foods we eat. Some people think that having massive doses of food will give them all they need. They could not be more wrong: it is all right shoving nutrition in but it is quite another thing if the body can absorb it and use it in that form. Typical assimilation rates might vary from 20% to 80% and nutrition supplied in some forms will not be absorbed at all. That means out of every 454 grams of food you might only absorb 20-80% of that.

What happens to the food after you swallow it depends to a large degree on the other three principles of your body, namely circulation, relaxation and elimination. Circulation is crucial if assimilation is to be maintained at high levels. Circulation is helped greatly by some important factors; exercise, especially cardiovascular. Apparently something like 50 or so times as many blood vessels open up when exercising than just sitting. We have about 60,000 miles of vessels, mostly capillary type, so you can imagine the effect of increased blood flow. Massage, hydrotherapy treatments and osteopathic adjustments help because the blood stream carries the rebuilding forces to the body in these channels. They need to be clear and stimulated so that the blood will flow to feed the cells and tissues.
Elimination

Every activity your body does produces waste. We get rid of that waste through the skin, the lungs, the kidneys and the intestines. Major problems start to occur when any of these important channels are stopped from doing their job. We start to accumulate waste, bacteria start growing at alarming rates which leads to all sorts of problems as we become toxic.

Imagine not cleaning up the kitchen very often -leaving waste- what would happen, your kitchen would become literally alive with all sorts of creepy bacteria. The same with your body. The fact that poor elimination is the most cited cause of disease within the Edgar Cayce research papers totaling over 14,000 gives you some idea just how important this aspect really is. It gives you an idea of the importance of getting rid of toxins, rid of waste from our bodies.

If you’ve had a long standing problem (more than one year) then it will take some time to clear because the spores of Candida spread from your digestive system into all tissues of your body. Intestinal cleansing alone will not cleanse your lymph and tissues.

The only way to completely clear Candida problems is to get the Candida into circulation in your body, where it can then be eliminated. But this takes time. The key point to remember is that you must provide your body with enough friendly microbes, over time, in order to outnumber the problem causing ones and repopulate their territory.

Ultimately, without getting the dormant candida spores that are resting in your muscle and brain tissue, you will never clear the candida. This concept is greatly misunderstood by many. In fact most people will not go through the die-off stage because it can be very severe. However this detox is necessary to clear out your system. If you want a healthy and clean ecology, there will be disruption in order to strike the balance.

The rate of detox and die off are directly related to product input and consequently the activation of the dormant spores within tissues. The rate of detox and elimination are directly proportionate to the amount you put in.

Die-off and detoxifying can be tempered by the rate at which you ingest Genki Foods. Compliance to the program is essential to reach the goal.

Natural Mineral Detoxifier

Zeolite Pure is the all natural mineral Zeolite that has been proven to absorb toxins, free radicals, and heavy metals from your body, as well as boost your immune system. This mineral will balance your body’s pH, creating an environment that foreign cells can not grow in.

For those not wanting to take capsules, this is pure powdered Zeolite in an economical container.

Zeolite is a natural mineral that has a cage like structure and is negatively charged by nature. The negative charge acts like a magnet to attract toxins and heavy metals into its cage structure and carry them out of the body. It also balances the pH in the body which doesn’t allow foreign cells to grow.

Purification, Detoxification, and Purging with Zeolite Pure

Unbalanced diets, pollution and food additives can all cause toxins and heavy metals to build up and damage your body. This often leads to acidosis and clogging of cell membranes. In other words, our cells slowly suffocate.

Buildup of heavy metals (especially cadmium, mercury and lead) are the cause of many serious medical conditions.

The particles of Zeolite Pure are so fine that they can actually pass in between your body’s cells. Due to its extraordinary adsorption and selection capabilities, Zeolite Pure binds with toxins and, most importantly, harmful heavy metals, allowing these substances to be easily eliminated from your body.

Zeolite Pure is often used to eliminate heavy metals like lead and cadmium and to remove buildup of mercury (used in dental amalgam fillings).

Due to Zeolite Pure’s alkaline properties (buffer action) it is also possible to properly regulate your body’s pH balance. But Zeolite Pure can do a lot more! It is also a highly effective antioxidant, which means it neutralizes free radicals.
