MARTIN: Hi everyone! This is Martin Pytela for the Life Enthusiast podcast, and with me today is Monica Leal, a multi-year veteran in health and water technologies. I have met Monica not long ago, but now that I have watched several of her presentations, I am thoroughly impressed by the depth of her knowledge, and the thoroughness of her research, and just how well she is versed with what we are going to talk about. I want to talk to you about the following: As you know, we have been presenting water technologies on the inexpensive side, the most affordable solutions. Today is going to be different. We are going to be going straight for the best, the highest quality, but also the highest price point. Welcome aboard, Monica!

MONICA: Thank you, Martin! I just want to say I am really impressed with you, and also with the variety and absolutely huge and wonderful selection you have on your website! I found a few things there that I am very impressed with as well, so I am really glad to discover your website! Thank you for having me!

MARTIN: Sure thing! We are going to be talking about how hydration, oxidation, and hydrogenation are an issue for a human being, how the oxygen molecule and the hydrogen molecule are dancing with one another, and how they interact with the human physiological experience. And by the end of this presentation, you should be excited to try what we have to talk about. So, Monica, I understand you are concerned about making sure that we disclaim correctly what we are about to say, right?

MONICA: Yes, I have to do the obligatory disclaimer, you know, because we live in very rocky, tumultuous times as far as the medical system goes, so I just want to say that I am not a doctor, nothing I say is intended to treat or diagnose or cure or heal any disease whatsoever, and certainly not the big C. Either big C, we got two big Cs now, we have got the old big C, and now the new big C. I am not making any medical claims on that. And if you have any sort of medical conditions, please consult your doctor, and get that out of the way first.

MARTIN: Yep, I am no doctor either, there is no medical advice here, just my opinions.

MONICA: Yeah, exactly. Everything I am going to say is my own personal opinion. I would like to share my own personal story, and also my dog’s story. I am not even going to tell you my story right away, I am going to tell you that a little later, because if I tell you now, you are not going to believe me. And some people might think: “eh, testimonials, you hear them all the time with all these various products, they always have testimonials.” I am not going to start with that, but I will start with my dog. I have to show you my dog. And then what I’d like to do is talk about what I consider another very dire threat that is out there that people are not probably not aware of. And I am not talking about the ones we know, I am talking about something equally serious, and I am going to show you some of the research, some of the scientific and medical research regarding that, and how this water might play a role in helping to mitigate those risks.

MARTIN: All right, tell me about your dog.

MONICA: Okay. So this is a picture of my dog Midnight, he is a little Schipperke, and this picture shows him at the age of about 15. I actually don’t know how old he was exactly, because he was a rescue. When I got him, he was already grown and based on how long I had him, that put him in at least 15, and they usually live until about 14-15, so he was actually the grayest, oldest Schipperke anybody had seen at this point in time. And this little dog, he had such pain he could barely walk. I would have to pick him up and carry him outside in the morning to go potty, his eyes were milky white, he was blind, he was deaf… He was in such pain I was about to have him put down because I didn’t want him to suffer. About two years prior to that, I had had a lot of serious health issues myself, and I had bought an alkaline water machine from some random brand that is out there, and I had it for a couple of years, never noticed anything. I had some dramatic experiences later when I switched to the brand that I have now, but at that time I had this other brand.

During the time I had that old machine is when Midnight developed this extreme pain condition and his eyes went milky white. He was drinking the water from that machine, just for the record. Then that machine broke, and I got this other one. Within two weeks, this dog woke us up at six in the morning, running around, dancing and prancing, like a puppy ready to play! I opened the back door and he ran outside. I mean, he literally ran outside! This dog couldn’t walk before, but now he was running, and I was like: “What in the world?” So that is what happened with Midnight, and by the way, he lived four more years. Six months later he was less gray and his eyes turned mostly brown again, they weren’t so milky white, he could run, he could play fetch. About a year later I got another dog, so I am going to show you a picture of Trip. The first picture on the left is in 2011, right after I got him, he was the same breed. Notice his chin is a little gray. He was already 7 years old when I got him, and he was starting to get a little bit gray. I started him on the water from the beginning, and look at the picture on the right! This was taken in 2018, and notice his chin is maybe a little bit more gray, but not much. He certainly doesn’t look much older, even though he is the same age as Midnight when I got him!

MARTIN: I understand what you are getting at! What you are trying to illustrate for me here is that the dogs don’t gray as much when they are drinking good water, right?

MONICA: These dogs just didn’t age! Midnight was already 15, and you saw how gray he was, but it was like he didn’t age after I started giving him the water, and he was still solid, he didn’t have any bone loss, he was still solid. So now I am going to tell you part of my story, and I am going to show you some of the research. When you look at my hair, you can see some blonde, right? It doesn’t look totally gray. I am 61, and…

MARTIN: …oh, you mean this is uncolored? Wow, look at you! Well, I am clearly not drinking good enough water!

MONICA: I have never colored my hair in my life. I was about to start coloring my hair about 14-15 years ago, in my late forties, because you know, that is what women do, right? I didn’t want to because of the chemicals, but I was about to, you know, vanity was winning. Because my hair was way, way grayer than it is now. I mean, I do have a few strands, I am not saying I don’t have any, but I was over half gray. During that two-year period, when I had that other machine, is when my hair turned gray, and I was going through menopause, and I had not ovulated in about five years. I know this is probably too much information for men, but I had no more fertility, I was going through menopause, my hair was over half gray, and then that machine broke, so I got this new machine. In three months, I had my fertility back, I had perfect cycles like clockwork for the next 10 or 11 years, and in another three months’ time my friends said: “Oh, I see you started coloring your hair!” Because I have blonde hair, when I get in the sun, you can see it being lighter, and I haven’t gotten any more new gray hair since then! Also, I had a lot more wrinkles 14 years ago than I do now.

MARTIN: Alright, stop, stop all of this talk, and tell me what are you drinking?

MONICA: Okay. The next image I am going to show you is bottled water. What do you notice about this picture? A bunch of cases of bottled water sitting out in the sun.

MARTIN: Yeah, you are probably showing me plastic bottles with horrible tap water in it.

MONICA: Well, you know, it might have had good water at the beginning when they bottled it, they might have put good beautiful spring water from XYZ mountain spring, it might’ve been wonderful, but when it is sitting out in the sun for hours and hours and hours, and who knows how long it has been in the bottle in the first place. Can you imagine how much plastic is leaching into that water? Just think about it. On average, humans take in about half a teaspoon of plastic nanoparticles or microparticles on a daily basis. We really don’t need more plastic in our bodies from the water. But not only that, think about what happens when you cut open an apple. Everybody knows fruits and vegetables are loaded with antioxidants, right? Open an apple and leave it sitting on the counter for a while. It turns brown, right?

MARTIN: It is oxidation!

MONICA: It is oxidation, exactly. So everybody knows that happens to apples and fruits and vegetables, but people don’t realize that it happens to water as well. Water is also either antioxidant or oxidizing, just like fruits and vegetables. And if you could get water out of a bubbling spring, like what’s behind me here, if that was real… If you could get water fresh out of the mountain spring at that moment in time, it is like that apple picked fresh from the tree. It is fresh, it is antioxidant, and it is wonderful. But within a few hours, that electrical charge pretty much dissipates and it is gone. So as soon as they pipe it into the system or they bottle it, it is pretty much dead. It is like canned peas compared to fresh peas out of the garden. You know, there is just no comparison. So my philosophy is why drink oxidizing water when I can drink antioxidant water?

This is something we can measure. There is a meter, it is a little device called an oxidation-reduction potential meter, or ORP meter. You can actually test your water and see if it is oxidizing or antioxidizing. And if it is oxidizing, it is going to have a positive number. If it is an antioxidant, it will have a negative number. Green tea, for example; everybody knows that it is a really powerful antioxidant, right? That would measure at about -80 mV or so. But this water fresh out of the machine can be negative -800 mV! The highest I have ever clocked out of my machine is over -900. That is way more, 10 times more powerful than green tea!

MARTIN: I guess what should be said is that this is the willingness to be in an oxidative reductive transaction, which means essentially the willingness to donate an electron. When you showed the apple a moment ago, oxidation happens when electrons get stolen from the surface of the apple, that is the potential through which the oxidation-reduction happens, and that is the willingness to donate these electrons. It is actually standard chemistry, but it is good to know that there is such a thing as life-supporting water!

MONICA: Exactly! So really what this technology is doing is just putting it back into the state that it was in when it first came out of that mountain spring if you could get it at that moment. Everybody knows, I mean, I hope most of your customers are not drinking tap water. I think your customers are more savvy than that, they are knowledgeable. Everybody knows not to drink tap water, right? It is loaded with chemicals. So most people have a filtration system, or they buy bottled water of some sort. I just have to say that any of that is better than drinking tap water, obviously.

The first step is you want to make sure the water is clean, filter it somehow, but that is only the first step. It could be very clean, it could have come through a wonderful filtration system, test clean of contaminants, and yet be oxidizing, and actually stealing electrons rather than donating them. With this water, it is donating electrons by the trillions. When you drink a glass, it is more of an instantaneous thing, it just floods your whole body with electrons, it goes everywhere, because water goes everywhere in your body, pretty much. It is not like food antioxidants, like blueberries, where they kind of stay in your system looking for free radicals. This is more of an electrical antioxidant, rather than a food antioxidant. It is different.

So the fact that I delayed menopause by almost 11 years, and my hair is still the same, I reversed the gray and I am still blonde, what does that say? I kind of feel like I am biologically younger than I was before I started drinking it. Keep in mind, I am not saying it fixed everything, it did not solve all my problems, but it did resolve a lot of issues, which I will tell you more about later. I was already eating organic, plant-based, doing everything right, drinking fresh juices, eating superfoods, all that great stuff. And yet I still had issues, so for me, the water was what made that big of a difference, it was pretty profound. But I would like to show you a little bit of the research.

MARTIN: Great. Let’s have it. It is good to know that whatever you are going to tell us is actually backed by solid science. We are just not pulling it off the ethers.

MONICA: Right. Because like I said, you hear testimonials all the time, all over the place, and people say: “oh yeah, yeah, that is an anecdote or whatever.” Well, there is actually some research to back this up. So this first slide I am going to show is from the Institute of Medicine, College of Medicine, Taiwan. This particular one is for the hepatoprotective effect of electrolyzed reduced water against some kind of liver damage in mice. That has to do with the liver. There is a lot of animal studies. This water, in addition to being an antioxidant, is also alkaline. And what I hear people say all the time is: “Oh no, you shouldn’t drink alkaline water, it is going to dilute your stomach acid, and it is going to make you too alkaline.”

There is some truth to that if you drink alkaline water from a machine that just makes it alkaline, but it isn’t a medical grade machine. Or if you just add baking soda to pure water. There are a whole lot of pills and potions and all kinds of ways to make water alkaline. Some of them will actually make your water a little bit antioxidant as well, or they will energize it a little bit. There is a lot of things that you can do, but those methods of making your water alkaline don’t do much for the structure of the water. And for that reason, there is some truth to those statements. It can dilute the stomach acid, you should not drink it with meals, because you can impair your digestion, et cetera, although the idea that it can make your blood pH too alkaline is absolutely a myth, that is absolutely not true.

It might affect your urine pH, but not the blood pH, because that stays within a very narrow range. This next slide is from Juntendo hospital in Japan, and this study says: “For those suffering from low gastric juice, the presence of antioxidant water will stimulate the stomach cells to secrete more gastric juice.” Now, presumably, this is medical-grade antioxidant water from a medical-grade machine. Usually, when they do medical studies, they are going to use medical-grade equipment, they are not going to use some cheap stuff, right? So if you are low in stomach acid, it can actually help create more stomach acid.

“However, on the other hand, for those with high gastric juice, the antioxidant water neutralizes the excessive gastric juice. According to a medical lecturer from Maeba University, the pH of gastric secretion will still remain normal when antioxidant water is consumed. This proves that the ability of the antioxidant water is able to neutralize as well as stimulate the secretion.” So in other words, it will balance it in either direction. So that kind of puts that whole argument to rest, at least if you get a proper medical-grade machine. If you have something less than that, then that may be a concern. I have found my digestion is way better since I have been drinking this water. I don’t worry about drinking it with meals, although you probably still shouldn’t drink a whole lot of water with meals, I don’t have an issue at all.

So remember I mentioned, there is an elephant in the room, right? The big C and the big V. I won’t say what they are, but I think everybody knows what they are. I won’t get into politics or controversial stuff. Hopefully, this chat will be out on your website for years to come after this big issue is over, but for right now, in 2021, it is on everybody’s minds. Everybody is freaked out, everybody is taking sides. Do you, or don’t you? Should you, or shouldn’t you?

MARTIN: Let’s just be clear, we are talking about the immune system either working or not working, and either being able to eliminate the viral infections, or not. When we are living a regular life as we have lived until 2019, I suppose, we would just say: “Well, there is the bug going around, and the bug goes around, and some people get sick with it and some don’t.” There is an argument. The argument goes: Is the terrain more important, or is the invader more important? The mainstream media would have you think that when the invasion is coming, everybody is going to fall ill with it, but that is not how it happens. Invasion comes, and a third of the population falls ill, and we call it an epidemic, but that is not really what happens to the other part of the population. How come not everybody is getting ill, right?

MONICA: I am a terrain girl myself.

MARTIN: Well, there we go, we are terrain people, it is just that we have been told a story about the germ theory that has us thinking that it is the germs that do it. Well, they do it, but only to those whose terrain is fertile enough to take it.

MONICA: Exactly. So what has that got to do with water? Well, if it can improve your health, then it is always a good idea. We all know that the so-called antidote to that, or the preventative to that, has a whole world of controversy that I am very concerned about because to me, it is a big experiment. It is actually a drug trial. That is a fact. And when you are dealing with the DNA, what could possibly go wrong? We don’t know! We don’t know the repercussions of that. So I am not going to go really into that any more than that. But the reason I bring that up is that we are all aware of that threat, potentially affecting the DNA for generations to come, but what most people might not be aware of is there is an equally sinister threat out there that is kind of under the radar.

I say ‘equally sinister’ because it too affects the DNA, and it affects the body’s ability to replicate healthy mitochondria. And it is something that even people like us, who are holistic, probably don’t take medications, unless it is a real emergency, like an accident or something like that, generally, we try to not be dependent on medications, that is why we are doing all these alternative things, right? There are times when we might be in that situation, for example, somebody has a car accident, all of a sudden they get whisked away to the hospital and they have to have surgery, they have to have anesthesia, they have to have pain medication, they have to have antibiotics. It can happen to anybody, even when you live a really clean holistic lifestyle and normally don’t take medications. And what I am referring to is antibiotics. I am going to come back to the water and why that is relevant, but a particular category or classification of antibiotics called Fluoroquinolones. And these are common antibiotics!

MARTIN: There are so many stories of people getting… let’s talk in plain language, this is the ‘famous one’ that is known as ‘getting floxed.’ I went to a doctor, and I had a perforated eardrum, but I wasn’t sure, so I said: “Please take a look,” and they said: “You have a perforated eardrum.” And I said: “What can we do about it?” And the doctor says: “Well, not much, but we should probably prescribe a bit of an antibiotic for it. I can hand you a sample of this Fluoroquinolone.” I said: “You want to treat me with that for a perforated eardrum that doesn’t even have an infection?” And the response was: “Oh yeah, of course.” I was just astounded how easy it is to get handed something that can have a fairly profound negative effect!

MONICA: Exactly, they just hand that stuff out, right?

MARTIN: I was shocked, truly shocked. Anyway, anybody who wants to get serious about knowing just how deep this rabbit hole can go, look up ‘floxed.’ 

MONICA: Exactly. And it is relevant to the water, and I am going to show you why, because some of us have already been floxed. I got floxed and didn’t realize it! Thought, oh, well, I don’t want to take antibiotics, but I know it is bad, so I will just take extra probiotics later, and replenish the gut bacteria, rebuild my microbiome. I thought that that was the extent of it. I didn’t realize what else it did until last year. They really just hand these antibiotics out, I don’t understand why, it does have the FDA strongest warning, which is the black box label! That is the FDA warning for quinolone antibiotics because they have potentially permanent side effects for tendons, muscles, joints, nerves, central nervous system, and possibly coma, horrible stuff, aortic dissection, aortic aneurysm, dangerous side effects!

MARTIN: You don’t need to scare people any deeper than what we have! I will share another story. I have a friend, dear friend, who went for a minor operation. It was going to be laparoscopic. He had some kind of bone growth on his shoulder, and it was interfering with the nerve, so they took care of it, but then he got infected, and all of a sudden had a flesh-eating staphylococcus inside his body, and they…

MONICA: …and you are saying I am scaring people?

MARTIN: It happened! So the next thing of course is the ‘nuclear warfare,’ they had to hit it with the hardest they had, so they used the Cipro on him, and then he lost the use of one of his eyes. So they tried heroically to try and fix it, trying to save the retina, lots and lots fiddling with the eye. But in the end, he still has half his vision. He can see the bottom half. Anyway, the point is that he said to the doctor: “Okay, so you saved my life, but in the process of saving my life, you actually caused me to lose my eye, right?” And the doctor says: “Yes, sir, that is what happened. You are alive because you didn’t die of the flesh-eating bacteria that we inadvertently introduced into your body when fiddling with your small little operation.” So the road to hell is paved with the best of intentions. Well, talk about how you can avoid this!

MONICA: Okay, the reason I brought that up. I think we scare everybody adequately about the fluoroquinolones, and they can find out more online, but they are actually chemo drugs. You know, it is actually kind of a big deal when people take chemo, it is not a small thing. And yet, when they take these antibiotics, they don’t realize they are taking chemo. And that is actually a fact. When they created these drugs back in the sixties and seventies, they didn’t know about mitochondria back then, that is their excuse. Here is why it is relevant, and here is the good news. 

I stumbled upon this because I got floxed in 2013 when I had an emergency appendectomy, and I got floxed while I was in the hospital, and the doctor told me I was going to be in the hospital for 10 days because I had a burst appendix, it was pretty bad. So they gave me antibiotics, and they gave me the IV with the fluids, and I said: “No, I will take the antibiotics, but I don’t want the fluids.” And they said: “Well, you have to have the fluids, you don’t want to get dehydrated.” And I said: “I am not going to get dehydrated, I am the hydration queen.” My husband was bringing me the water from home, and I told them I am just going to drink my own water. And the nurse said, grudgingly: “Okay, but we have to make sure you drink enough.” I said: “Hey, not to worry, I will drink plenty.” So I drank my water. I am not recommending anybody do that, that was just my decision at that moment.

On day three, the doctor looked at me, and he was all puzzled and shaking his head, he couldn’t figure it out. I asked him what was going on because I thought something was wrong. He goes: “No, no, you are fine, you just keep doing what you are doing.” And I went home on day 4 instead of day 10. And not only that – three weeks later, one of my good friends that was a nurse said: “I have never seen anybody recover from a burst appendix as fast as you did.” Was it the water? I tend to think it was, and I didn’t have the side effects for quite a while. There could be other factors like genetic, you know, some people have more side effects than others, so that might be it. I can’t really say for sure. All I know is I had no clue that I got floxed, and I got out of the hospital in four days instead of ten, and I recovered really quickly from the burst appendix. 

Fast forward to 2020, and my husband takes Cipro, and he has some side effects. Not as bad as what some people have had, but serious enough to where we were very concerned. That is why I started looking into all this, and I am like: “Why did he have such bad side effects?” He teaches a class that evening, he is a Kung-Fu master, and he teaches his class, and he wasn’t drinking much water! He was busy teaching class, so he wasn’t drinking enough water!

So, what is the big fuss about right now? What is everybody freaked out about? Everybody is freaked out about protecting our DNA from the Big Bad Jab right now! We want to protect our DNA from that. I don’t know, I have no idea, I didn’t make that claim, but at the very least it is going to help us with oxidative damage because it says so right here in this study. And at the very least, if somebody has been floxed, I would get busy drinking this water. People don’t believe me when I tell them how powerful this water is. And when I tell them my story, they don’t believe it. And I haven’t even told you the rest of it, but I will. I will tell you in a second. Some people start thinking: Well, I will just add baking soda in my water, and it will do the same thing. Or I will just get one of these little energizer gadgets, or one of these cheap devices. But it is not going to have the same effect.

This is the last study, I promise, on electrochemically reduced water, that is electrolyzed reduced water from a machine. I have a medical device in my kitchen. So let me read this study: “This water exerts superior reactive oxygen species scavenging activity in the cells than the equivalent level of just hydrogen dissolved water. See, there are studies saying: “Oh, it is the hydrogen in the water, it is the hydrogen in the water!” Well, yeah, that is one of the properties of water, water has several properties, but this study proves right there, slam dunk, that this water is superior in terms of its scavenging ability of reactive oxygen species, or free radicals. It is superior to mere hydrogen water. So there is something about this water that is different, and it is not just the hydrogen, and it is not just because it is alkaline, there is something else. I am going to dance around it, because I am not really supposed to say what it is.

But I’ll tell you this: When you take this water out of the machine, you can make tea with it without heating the water. You know how you put a teabag in a cup of hot water to make tea? If you just cold tap water in the cup, it is not going to make tea, but with this water, even at room temperature, you can make tea. You can have nice rich dark tea in just 30 seconds or a minute. That demonstrates that there is a quality to this water, having to do with the structure that goes beyond the hydrogen, goes beyond the antioxidant, goes beyond being alkaline. There is something about this water. What is it? I don’t know, but I know it works. At the time I got my machine, I was desperate. Can I tell my story now? (laughing) I was a mess. Okay. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t get a deep breath. I had heart palpitations, and I went to regular doctors, and they said: “Your heart is fine, you just have anxiety.” I went to acupuncturists, naturopaths, homeopaths, you name it… Nobody could really figure out what was wrong with me.

I sprained my ankle at age 38, and when I went to the urgent care and they did an x-ray, the doctor said: “Oh, you have already got some serious bone loss.” But then he goes: “You don’t need to worry about it until you are in your forties.” And it took me a minute, and then I went: “Hey, wait a minute, shouldn’t I be more worried if I have it early? I have bone loss in my thirties, shouldn’t I be more worried?” I mean, that just shows the mentality. 

I was also told I’d lose all my teeth, and then for a couple of years I had really bad insomnia, I had acid reflux so bad I had to sleep sitting up, it was that bad. My ankles were swollen, I had these deep fissures in the heels that I could stick half my fingernail into, I had chronic pain, I had ulcers, I had bleeding gums, I had a sharp pain in one of my ovaries that I don’t know what it was, but it was probably something bad. And I was trying to deal with it naturally. I realized all my problems had a common denominator, and that was mineral deficiency.

And I thought that doesn’t make any sense, I drink these bright green juices, I take all these green superfoods, I do all these things, how can I be mineral deficient? So I started adding minerals, taking my magnesium, and all this stuff helped a little. Then I finally figured out it was the water I was drinking. I was drinking distilled water, which is very clean, but it is very acidic, and it is very ‘hungry,’ it just leaches out your minerals. I have been told 15 years prior that it was the cleanest, best water to drink, and I should be drinking that forever. And I have heard of that, you know, because I was doing some kind of detox, and I really can say it nearly killed me drinking that water, honest to God, it nearly killed me. So I got rid of the distiller, and that is when I got that cheap alkaline machine. Then I went through menopause and the thing with my dog happened, but it didn’t really help any of my problems. And that is when my hair turned gray, and then the machine broke and I bought this new one. I am not going to tell the brand, and I will explain why.

MARTIN: Here is what we are going to do: You are not going to tell me what it is, and we are going to post a link and a phone number, and anybody who is curious enough about this ‘magic’ is going to have to call you!

MONICA: Okay, yes! I got this machine because it was a medical-grade version of the one I had before. And that made all the difference. In two days my acid reflux was gone, within a week or two the ulcers were gone, and my feet got all smooth, and the heels of my feet to this day are smooth as silk, and I have never had a pedicure in my life, and I have never had a facial in my life. I have never done any of that stuff most women do. Now, did it solve everything? No, I didn’t. I have a little bit of weight still to lose, but it helped me with many issues. I got a little annoyed, because I heard a lot of other people that drank the water, and they lost weight. Well, I didn’t. But I am not complaining, because it saved my life. So what can I say? All I did was change my water. It was not like I was a soda drinker and I just started drinking water. I already was a water drinker. I already drank a lot of water, and I hadn’t had a soda in decades.

MARTIN: Well, let’s just make sure that people understand what they are getting into. So number one – they are going to have to call you and talk to you about this thing because we are not allowed to tell them exactly or send a direct link. Number two – they are going to learn about how to enhance their life by eliminating ROS, reactive oxygen species, by extinguishing them with electronic enriched water. And three – they are going to probably experience the rejuvenation effects that you have experienced because that is how it works. So I guess I better get one myself because I clearly have allowed my hair to go too gray and that is not acceptable.

MONICA: Am I saying it is going to fix everything, every problem every person has? No. It didn’t fix everything for me, but I can honestly say that virtually everybody I have known that really drank this water and drank enough of it had some kind of profound benefit of some sort. It might not have fixed everything, but at least just about every person notices something. And you know what’s really cool too? Check this out. Right now we are all concerned about sanitizing, right? Last year, at the height of everything, we were getting our groceries delivered, and I was glad I had this machine. You know why? This doesn’t just make the drinking water, it also makes strong, acidic disinfectant water. And if you look at this chart, the first column that I have circled shows the water from this machine, this test was done with this machine, strong electrolytes should use water pH 2.5. Now, that is not for drinking, that is used topically, that is a disinfectant, it kills all the bacteria, pathogens, everything. But the second one that is circled, pH 2.6, only killed some of the pathogens. If you look down the column, it only killed some of them.

There are other machines on the market that will say they do disinfect too, but they only kill half the bacteria, so that is not really an effective disinfectant, is it? If you are having surgery, you don’t want to just kill half the bacteria, that is not going to cut it. And then, lastly, it also makes this really cool, strong alkaline water that works as a degreaser, it is an emulsifier, and you can soak your fruits and vegetables, and it will literally pull off with gunk. I try to buy organic as much as possible, but even with organic, sometimes there is gunk, but the pesticides are oil-based because they don’t want them washing off in the rain. So this will actually pull that stuff off, and it is a great spot remover too.We do our laundry with it, so I don’t buy laundry detergent. So it has got a lot of other uses, you can save money, and have a more organic household. That is pretty cool. Here is the website – http://saveourdna.com/.

MARTIN: Is this the website where you can be found?

MONICA: Correct. It doesn’t have my name on it, I did it kind of anonymously, but it has a form at the bottom that you can fill out, your name, email address, and phone number, it only goes to me, I promise you are not going to get spammed, I am not going to give it to anybody else, but I will give you a call, and see if you have questions. That particular site does have some of the studies, sorry, I worked as a medical rep for several years, so I tend to be a little bit into studies. I am very holistic, and if something doesn’t have studies, that doesn’t necessarily mean it doesn’t work, but if it does have studies, I kind of pay more attention to it. You don’t have to read the whole thing, just the highlighted yellow parts, and you’ll get the idea, and then it has got the form at the bottom where you can put in your information so I can contact you.

MARTIN: Okay! Good people, you heard it here, there is such a thing as living water. It was written about in stories, where you were supposed to be able to wake people up from the dead. Well, this is not quite like that, but damn close.

MONICA: I got to interject real quick, you know, there are those sacred springs all over the world, where people line up, and they are supposedly healed or they improve some of their symptoms after drinking it. This has the same properties as that water. Regular tap water was the same, but they installed these faucets, put chemicals in it, and it is all piped, so I think they killed it. http://saveourdna.com/
