Buying a water ionizer is a serious investment that will change your life. Unfortunately, for many this is a difficult process. There are so many alternatives. So much head-to-head information, and so much exaggerated publicity.
To all this is now added another option that you need to consider: the hydrogen generator. Unfortunately, there is already misinformation and over-advertising around these devices. This makes your task, which was already difficult, even more difficult.
Because Alkaviva imports and offers both water ionizers and hydrogen generators, we can compare the two technologies objectively. This article will help clarify the benefits of both types of devices, dismantle some of the exaggerated or erroneous information, and make it easier for you to make the right decision.
A hydrogen generator (H2) produces and dissolves molecular hydrogen in an electrolysis chamber, just like a water ionizer. The difference between them is the membrane. New technologies in hydrogen generators use special proton exchange membranes (PEMs), as opposed to ion exchange membranes used in water ionizers. This is the technical part.
Proponents of hydrogen generators make everything sound complex and new, but this type of membrane has been around for some time. It is widely used by researchers in the automotive industry who want to obtain electricity from hydrogen. Hydrogen generators work the other way around: they use electricity to create hydrogen. Leaving aside the technical terms, things are pretty simple.
One difference of the new technology is that it does not depend on the alkaline mineral content of tap water to create hydrogen. Another difference is that the new generators create hydrogen without increasing the pH, which means that the device creates water with hydrogen but without creating alkaline water.
Unfortunately, some of the promoters of hydrogen generators exaggerate a lot when they claim the superiority of hydrogen generators over water ionizers. They are very critical of water ionizers, which in the end were the first to give us the opportunity to drink hydrogen water, while hydrogen generators had not yet been invented.
Are hydrogen generators โfar superiorโ to water ionizers? All water ionizers? We donโt believe that.
Even though our Ionpia H2 hydrogen generator consistently produces high concentrations of molecular hydrogen (H2) on a variety of water sources, on many water sources and a traditional water ionizer (especially the new advanced H2 series from Alkaviva) it performs just as well. In addition, water ionizers give you other benefits in addition to producing hydrogen water.
The increased number of contaminants in tap water is not new. Alkaviva has spent years perfecting its patented US-made UltraWater filtration technology. UltraWater filters reduce most contaminants in mains water, including those that are most difficult to remove, by 99.9%, as evidenced by tests performed in independent laboratories certified by the EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency).
Some hydrogen generators, such as the Ionpia H2 model from Alkaviva, have a dual filtration system consisting of a block-type carbon filter and a 0.01 micron membrane filter. This filtration system provides a good removal of chlorine and other contaminants that activated carbon removes, a good reduction of microorganisms due to the 0.10 micron membrane, but will remove little of other types of contaminants.
You can order the Ionpia H2 hydrogen generator together with an optional external UltraWater filter. That means you can have the purest hydrogen water. Other hydrogen generators do not provide satisfactory solutions for this important aspect of health and safety which is water filtration.
An interesting benefit of the water ionizer is that during the ionization process, the levels of fluorine and chemical compounds such as nitrates, phosphates and cyanides are much lower because they are attracted to acidic water. Alkaviva has results from tests done at the University of Nevada in Reno that prove this benefit.
A justified reproach to some models of water ionizers is that in areas with hard water on the electrodes minerals can be deposited, which quickly reduces the concentration of hydrogen (H2) generated close to zero. This is especially true for older technology ionizers that clean the electrodes only at certain intervals, or require manual cleaning with citric acid at short intervals.
AlkaViva introduced the patented DARC authorization technology in 2006. It cleans the electrodes each time the device is used while it is operating. Over the years, it has been proven repeatedly that our ionizers do NOT accumulate mineral deposits in the electrolysis chamber. Equally important is the fact that we have created for the first time a range of technologies that prevent the accumulation of salt deposition before and after the electrolysis chamber, even in areas with very hard water.
The promoters of the new hydrogen generators claim that mineral deposits never appear in their devices due to the nano-filtration membrane (placed after the first two filters) which would remove the minerals that can be deposited. We believe that nano-filtering is effective. They describe an unclear process in which the minerals that can be deposited are removed from the water, then reintroduced into the water again in another part of the process.
Based on the data we have and our expertise, we wonder how the concept of โreturning minerals to waterโ will work after years of operation. You can expect to deposit in the device anyway, before and after the nano-filtration membrane. Thatโs why we recommend solutions to prevent mineral deposition to protect your hydrogen generator. Simply put, if you use hard water in any appliance, mineral deposits will appear. You want to protect your device against damage caused by it.
The vast majority of research done over the past 30 years on the benefits of ionized alkaline water has been done on water produced by an electric water ionizer.
Millions of people who have been drinking ionized alkaline water for the past 35-40 years have reported a variety of positive health effects, and researchers have certified many of them. These proven beneficial results have also led to the classification of water ionizers as medical devices in Japan and Korea.
We now know that most ionizers produce molecular hydrogen (H2), which is dissolved in different concentrations in alkaline water. Since the publication of the first research on the health benefits of molecular hydrogen in 2007 (1), many researchers are now convinced that molecular hydrogen (H2) is probably the main cause of the health benefits of ionized alkaline water. (2,3)
Some research suggests that elevated levels of dissolved H2 in water have greater therapeutic effects in certain diseases. Different models of water ionizers differ greatly in their ability to produce H2. Some produce negligible amounts (0.1 โ 0.2 ppm), while others (such as those in the Alkaviva H2 series) produce molecular hydrogen to near saturation (around 1.2 ppm).
Important: Even a less efficient water ionizer produces much more molecular hydrogen (H2) dissolved in water than that found in sources with recognized therapeutic properties commonly referred to on the Internet: Nordenau (Germany), Lourdes (France), Tlacote (Mexico), Nadana (India).
In water ionizers, high concentrations of H2 usually occur in water with high pH, โโwhich some people do not like. If this happens to you, add a little lemon juice.
Vesta H2 is perhaps the only ionizer on the market that offers you the best of both worlds: an excellent level of molecular hydrogen (H2), at a lower pH level, where the water tastes good.
We appreciate the fact that hydrogen generators do a good job (at least in the beginning) in producing very good concentrations of molecular hydrogen. But there are new devices. They still donโt have a 35-year history of consumer use. In addition, there is still no direct comparison made by researchers to show whether the effects of water with hydrogen that has a neutral pH are as good as those of ionized alkaline water.
Alkaline or neutral?
Molecular hydrogen generators cannot change the pH of water. Water ionizers can increase or decrease the pH of the water and thus create modified water in several ways, such as:
In some circles the notion of structured water is now considered pseudo-science even by those who promoted it in the past. They are based only on the interpretation of a single authority in hydrogen water which denies the possibility that research has not yet proven or unanimously and definitively refuted the claims regarding the structure of water.
In connection with this, we prefer to accept that, in the evolution of all sciences, many new things can and will be discovered. For example, 5 years ago Dr. Gerald Pollackโs theory of water exclusion was an assumption and had not yet been proven. Now it is a proven fact. Therefore, we consider that no definitive conclusion has been reached in the research on water structure.
Published research on alkaline mineral waters and the pH balance in the human body is promising (4,5) and supports the hypothesis that needs further research that the pH of ionized alkaline water may have the same effects. The benefits of hydroxyl ion for alkalizing the body have not yet been fully determined, as the correct questions have not yet been asked in research.
Even so, millions of people believe that alkaline ionized water has helped them improve a wide range of health problems, brought them increased energy, mental clarity and endurance, helped them maintain a proper pH in the body and improved well-being in general. Is it just a placebo effect? The results reported are too many, too consistent and stretch for too long, so we believe it is not the placebo effect.
Water ionizers do more than produce molecular hydrogen (H2) water for drinking. They create different types of water, with different functions. They also produce alkaline water but also acidic water. Many users use only strongly acidic or strongly alkaline water for cleaning and disinfecting the house, saving substantial amounts and reducing the amount of chemicals used.
Hydrogen generators are new in technology. The companies that sell them are just as new. So far. Only Alkaviva gives you the certainty of a 13-year history of sales and service of the most advanced and advanced water ionizers, which in turn have a history of 35 years.
Now we also offer you the premium hydrogen generator Ionpia H2. Both our ionizers and our generators give you the safety and certainty of UltraWater filtering.
Only AlkaViva recommends and can offer you tested and proven solutions for testing water quality and treating it before ionization, plus filtration that removes 99% of contaminants. These things are very important. Unfortunately, our industry is full of online stores that claim that their product is the best, but offer nothing more than carbon filters. More unpleasantly, some of these providers disappear leaving customers without exchange or service filters.
Whether you choose the new Ionpia H2 hydrogen generator or one of the Alkaviva H2 series water ionizers, you will get a contaminant-free water, with a very good taste, with an excellent level of dissolved molecular hydrogen (H2).
Which of the two options you choose โ hydrogen generator from Alkaviva or water ionizer from Alkaviva โ you canโt go wrong, both are excellent options. In addition, you have the peace of mind that you can rely on a company with a solid history behind it.

Have you ever felt that you are doing everything you need to lose weight, but you are not getting the results you want? Did you feel like you were missing something?
Maybe you went on a special diet to lose weight, or maybe you just drastically reduced the amount of food, sometimes to the point of starvation. And yet, the scales seem to โnot keep upโ with your efforts.
Or maybe you have a slow digestion, often have problems with bloating, and feel tired all the time?
Well, I have good news for you. Often all this has a cause that you do not suspect, but which fortunately is easy to eliminate. Read on, I will share the secret that will help you lose weight more easily, have more energy, get rid of bloating, slow digestion, sinusitis and other diseases.
It is important to drink enough water every day if you want to stay young, healthy, look good and be full of energy.
In addition to the quality and quantity of the water you drink, how you drink the water is vital to you. So how do you drink water?
We learn the ways we eat and drink water as children. We have been accustomed to drinking water since we were children. There is also a saying among the people that โwater is good if you have something to drink after itโ. And since almost all people drink water right after eating, we donโt think there could be anything wrong with that. You probably do the same.
Drinking water immediately after eating is a bad habit, which creates many problems that you do not even suspect. Itโs not your fault you do this, we were all taught the same in childhood, and we all pull the strings. Thereโs no point in blaming yourself. But it is in your power to change this habit and enjoy more energy and a leaner body. The solution is simple, you can find it below.
Imagine that you have a house that you heat with a wood stove or a fireplace. Itโs cold and damp outside, and itโs the same in your house โ before you light a fire. Once you have lit the fire and it burns hard, the house is warm and the excess moisture disappears. You feel good in your well-heated room. If the air is too dry, you can put a pot of water near the fireplace.
But what if as soon as you light a fire in the fireplace, you throw a bucket of water over the fire? The fire will be extinguished or burnt just smoldering, and the room will remain cold and damp. After a while, you light the fire again to warm yourself, then immediately throw a bucket of water over it. Sounds crazy, doesnโt it? You would never do that at home.
And yet, in a way, you do this several times a day, inside your body, when you drink water immediately after eating.
In traditional European, Indian and Chinese medicine, there is the term โdigestive fireโ. It refers to the function of the stomach and small intestine and has a very important role in the body:
When the digestive fire is strong, the man is full of vigor and has a good physical and mental tone.
When the digestive fire is weak, according to traditional medicine, โmoistureโ accumulates in the body, just as in an unheated house there is moisture and mold that destroy the walls and make the air unbreathable. The โmoistureโ described in traditional medicine appears in the body as excess mucus and toxins.
The effects of a weak digestive fire:
When you eat, your stomach secretes gastric juice to break down food. It is a combination of water, hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes, and has an acidic character. Normally, food that reaches the stomach will be broken down by digestive enzymes. Then the nutrients will pass into the small intestine to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
But if you drink water immediately after eating, the water reaches the stomach and dilutes the gastric juice, which makes the digestive enzymes can no longer break down food. Thus, they pass into the intestine largely undigested. Because of this:
Maintaining a normal weight and burning excess fat depends on your metabolism, ie the bodyโs ability to convert nutrients into energy.
If your metabolism is too slow, you will โburnโ fat too slowly and you will not be able to lose weight.
And metabolism is just a physical manifestation of the digestive fire in traditional medicine. A good digestive fire means a faster metabolism. โLight upโ your digestive tract again and you will lose weight much faster.
If you have come this far, you already know the simple method that will help you lose weight more easily and have more energy.
Itโs that simple. Do this for 30 days and I guarantee that you will have more energy, you will lose weight faster, you will get rid of bloating, sinusitis and more.
How do I know the method works and how can I guarantee you? Here is my story.
A few years ago, every morning I woke up irritated, with an unpleasant sensation in the forehead area, above the eyes, and behind the eyes. It gave me a bad mood and ruined every beginning of the day. Every day. I had sinusitis.
Also during that period, I discovered by studying traditional Chinese medicine the effects that โmoistureโ has on the human body. I also found out that by changing the way I drink water I can reactivate my digestive fire. So I decided on the spot to do an experiment and stop drinking water right after dinner.
The results appeared immediately. In less than a month, I noticed that I woke up in the morning without the annoying feeling of irritation behind my eyes and forehead. It was a great joy for me, because I didnโt even know what it was like to wake up in the morning.
So I tell you from my own experience, the method works and will bring you the expected benefits if you use it.
When you start to refrain from drinking water immediately after a meal, it may be difficult at first, due to habit. To quench your thirst, drink a cup of hot tea or a small glass of hot water after a meal. Thirst will disappear.
Listen to your body. At first, try not to drink water an hour after eating. After a while, you will realize for yourself if and how much you can reduce the one-hour interval. For me, 40 minutes is enough, but 30 minutes is too little. If you feel the need to reduce the time you do not drink water after a meal, experiment. Drink water after 50 minutes and see how you feel. If itโs ok, you can try for 40 minutes. After you reactivate your digestive fire you will feel very clear when โyou poured the bucket of water on the fireโ and turned it off.
If you want to reduce internal humidity even more, reduce the consumption of dairy products, cheeses and carbohydrates (especially those that contain refined sugar).
Now you know how to drink water to lose weight faster, have better digestion, get rid of chronic fatigue, bloating, sinusitis and other diseases caused by poor digestive fire.
Before I finish, Iโll tell you something else. We talked about how to drink water to make it easier for you to lose weight. What I want you to know is that there is water that helps you lose weight more easily, because it helps you eliminate acidic waste from the body. I mean alkaline water. Itโs worth finding out more about.
Itโs your turn. Apply what you just learned (itโs simple), and enjoy the results. Donโt forget to tell me how it works for you by leaving a comment on this article, or on our Facebook or Google+ pages. If you have any questions, I canโt wait to answer.
Can you have a body to enjoy for a long time? YES. Itโs up to you. Iโm here to support you.
Today I will talk about water and its importance for detoxifying the body and your health. And I will give you a simple method to detoxify your body every day.
You have one simple but very important thing to do:
Drink enough water and good quality.
Sufficient water means drinking about 30 ml of water per kg of body every day, ie if you weigh:
These amounts are recommended under normal conditions of temperature and activity. If it is very hot and / or you do sports and sweat, the amount of water required can even be double.
Water from different sources has different characteristics: different salts dissolved in varying concentrations, different pH, different ionization (electric charge).
Also, compared to spring water, drinking tap water has added various disinfectants, which are harmful to the body.
There are several areas in the world known for the special longevity of the locals. Some such areas are: the islands of Okinawa, the Hunza area of โโPakistan, some areas of Georgia, Venezuela and Peru. The inhabitants of these areas not only reach much older ages than the average in civilized countries, but almost do not know degenerative diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, tooth decay, etc.
Studies have shown that in all these areas water has special qualities compared to other areas around the world. Alkaline and negatively ionized water is one of the essential factors that help the people there to be healthy and long-lived.
Why is water so important?
Science gives us the answer: Our body is made up of 70% water.
Our blood is 92% water, our cells are 85% water, our brain is 75% water. Also, our cells โswimโ in a fluid (interstitial fluid).
Our body is like an aquarium and all the processes that take place in it depend on the quality of the fluid inside. If the water in the โaquariumโ is clean (has the right characteristics), the cells feel good and work perfectly. If the water is โdirtyโ, the functioning of the cells is much more difficult, which leads to lack of energy, depletion of the bodyโs resources and disease.
The water you drink must have the characteristics of your internal fluids (interstitial fluid, blood, lymph, saliva, etc.) to nourish your cells and eliminate metabolic waste and dead cells.
Why is it so important?
The internal fluids that ensure the functioning of the body (blood, lymph, interstitial fluid, saliva) have a slightly alkaline pH. The functioning of the body produces waste (urine, perspiration, expiration) which is acidic.
American scientist Robert Young says, โThere is one disease called acidification and one treatment called alkalization.โ Absolutely all physiological processes in the body such as absorption, assimilation, transport of substances, elimination, muscle contractions, heartbeat, etc., all occur when the pH of internal media is weakly alkaline.
pH of biological fluids:ย
If you want to keep your body in excellent shape and prevent the accumulation of toxins in the body, the first thing you need to do is respect the needs of the body. That is, to help him stay mostly alkaline. How can you do that? Taking care of what you put in your body: air, water, food.
If your diet is not mostly based on raw foods, then there is a very good chance that it will be mostly acidic. If you live in a polluted area, the air you breathe creates even more acidity in your body.
You need something to neutralize all this acidity and give you the right internal alkalinity.
The most effective solution is to drink alkaline water. Being 70% water, when you drink enough alkaline water, you will very quickly restore the right environment in the body.
What else can water do?
Water can greatly contribute to the process of cell feeding and can be the most powerful antioxidant that will neutralize free radicals and increase your immunity. This means that the nutrients you eat actually end up nourishing each cell. And it also means that you are very resistant to diseases and you will not age prematurely.
Not all water can do this, but only negatively ionized water.
A proper interstitial environment, which allows cells to be nourished and neutralizes free radicals, is an alkaline environment with a negative electrical charge.
The sources of negative ions are again air, water and food. If you do not live in the mountains or near a forest, if you do not eat a large dose of raw food and if you drink tap water or even bottled then you are subject to a strong oxidation process. This pollutes your internal environment, decreases your vitality and makes you more vulnerable to disease and prone to premature aging.
Negatively ionized water drunk daily, walks in the mountains or through the forest, an air ionizer installed at home are the solutions you have at hand to avoid these dangers.
So, for me, โliving waterโ means alkaline water (preferably with a pH around 9.5) and negatively ionized (preferably with a negative electric charge between -200 and -1000 mV).
If the water you drink is usually not alkaline and negatively ionized, in the free guide โ7 Methods by which you can get alkaline waterโ you will find some solutions by which you can get such water.
You can download the free โ7 Methods by which you can get alkaline waterโ by subscribing to the Wellnessist newsletter. In addition, you will receive useful information about detoxifying the body as soon as we publish them on the site. You can unsubscribe whenever you want, and in the meantime your email it will be safe because we donโt like spam as Iโm sure you donโt like it either.
How often should I drink alkaline and ionized water?
I recommend drinking alkaline and ionized water every day. To start, do an experiment of at least 6 months in which to drink the recommended amount of โliving waterโ daily. You will feel the difference. Then you will be able to make an informed choice about what kind of water you want to drink next.
What do I get if I drink biologically active water?
You will thus have more energy, a stronger immunity, you will prevent most diseases and you will slow down the aging process.
I want to know what you think about the information you just found out. I invite you to share with me your ideas on this topic by leaving a comment. You can also ask me questions and I will answer them as soon as possible.
Take care of your body and it will take care of you!
Recently, one of our customers was kind enough to share with us how alkaline water helped him get rid of a big problem.
Below is the story of Mr. Alexandru Bรฎzdรฎc told by himself, which we publish with his consent. I kept his story, adding only a few subtitles and accents to make it easier to read.
Iโll start with the end: Mr. Bรฎzdรฎc escaped the amputation of his second leg by drinking alkaline water.
Sounds incredible? Iโll let you read the story below.
โI am writing these lines both for my friends on Facebook and for the multitude of patients who suffer from diabetes and implicitly from obliterating arteritis, and who, sooner or later, reach stents mounted in the coronary, iliac, subclavian arteries, or worse, at the amputation of the lower limbs.
I retired in 2002 after a heart attack and since then the troubles (medical problems) have continued.
Due to the insulin-deficient diabetes detected in the โ90s, in the period 2002-2005 I had 3 surgeries (for both of my feet) by which my arteries were replaced (due to massive atheroma deposits) with femoral-popliteal vascular prostheses (by-passes), on the right leg twice.
In 2011 the bypass of the right leg began to close (by atheroma deposition) which brought the stenosis of the arteries below the knee (tibial and peroneal) closer to 100%. Having major problems with coronary arteries, the doctors refused to change my right leg bypass (it would have been the third time) and recommended that I take a daily infusion of โvasaprostanโ (an expensive drug and which was distributed through CNAS with special approval), for 30 days, the procedure being considered (then) as a means of saving the foot from amputation.
In my case this procedure (vasaprostan infusions) proved to have the effect of rubbing with โGalenicaโ on an acacia leg. As the number of infusions increased, the pain in the sole of the foot grew greater and the foot was always cold.
I informed my doctor several times about the evolution of the disease (unbearable pain and cold leg) but not only did he not notice me but he did not even take a strain on my leg. For understandable reasons, I wonโt give his name.
After 20 days of infusions, one morning after I woke up, I saw that my toes were black and suppurating. I had gangrene.
I called the emergency room and the doctor on duty at the vascular surgery department (being a day off) refused to admit me on the grounds that they did not cut fingers and recommended the emergency staff to notify the surgery department for amputation.
I went to Bucharest and was admitted to the University Emergency Hospital at the vascular surgery clinic.
On December 6, 2011, my toes were amputated on my right foot. Because gangrene continued, on December 9, I underwent a new metatarsal amputation and my vascular prosthesis was replaced with a saphenous vein harvested from the amputated leg.
On December 12, I had a heart attack and was admitted to intensive care. On December 15, I had a cardiac arrest and was intubated โฆ I was intubated for several days in a state of unconsciousness, during which time my lungs were aspirated several times a day.
After being discharged from intensive care I was admitted to cardiology and after a while I started coughing harder and harder. I was treated for bronchitis until I was discharged from the hospital.
The cough continued after discharge and eventually I arrived again in the emergency room in Constanศa, at the ENT department, where it was found that due to the aspiration maneuvers from intensive care, after cardiac arrest, my trachea was injured, which led to the appearance of an outgrowth that eventually almost blocked my trachea.
I underwent emergency surgery (post-intubation tracheostomy) and the operation was to put a plastic cannula under Adamโs apple through which I was breathing. Leg surgery has never been cured.
In June 2013, 5 stents were implanted in my coronary arteries at Fundeni Hospital.
In September 2013 (unlucky year) the amputated leg pain started again, being forced to accept a new amputation this time above the knee.
Eventually, in September, I had three successive amputations of my right leg.
After the third amputation, I went home with half of the strands from the stump unscathed and my foot swaying in the amputation area. After another month of treatment at home, a nurse managed to heal my abutment.
Starting with the spring of last year, my left leg, which I have had a femur-popliteal prosthesis since 2004 (they are guaranteed for 5-6 years), started to hurt and swell, the situation getting worse at the beginning of 2017, with all the medicines, the ointments and massages (including lymphatic) that have been given to me and done all this time.
In February 2017 I had a vascular/arterial Doppler examination which showed that the bypass has a stenosis of 70%, that the anterior tibial is occluded, the posterior tibial has 98% occlusion and the peroneal artery also has 98% occlusion.
Finally, the cardiologist who did the Doppler exam, probably to encourage me, told me that in 2-3 weeks I will reach the amputation of my left leg and showed me where to amputate itโฆ
I have a good friend and colleague from the ninth grade of high school, the energy engineer GรDEA-SฤNDUศU VERGICฤ from Filiaศi to whom I told about my trouble and that in a short time I will lose my left leg also by amputation.
Very relaxed in conversation and nonchalantly he told me that I donโt have to worry that no one will amputate my leg and that he will solve my problem.
I replied that it was a misplaced joke that at least made me sad, so as not to tell him anything else.
He explained to me that it was not a joke, that he could not afford to make jokes with me in the given situation and asked me if I had heard anything about IONIZED ALKALINE WATER.
Honestly, I hadnโt heard.
I told him that I donโt know what it is and that I donโt think there is a drug in the world (of which we should be aware, stupidity) that can dissolve atheromas on the arteries, โฆ much less WATER, no matter what it is called โ crow, sanctified or ionized alkaline.
Realizing that he had no tangible arguments to convince me, he told me that this water does absolutely no harm to the body by consuming it and that he sends me water starting the next day, having previously bought an ionizer for the production of this water.
He calmly told me that, in my situation, I have two possibilities, namely:
โ first, to wait for the arterial blood circulation in the leg to close permanently and to reach gangrene and amputation;
โ second, to drink at least 5 liters of alkaline ionized water daily, the water that will melt the atheromas on my arteries, the blood circulation returning to normal, and to save my leg.
I chose the second option knowing that it is terribly difficult to live without a leg and to force yourself daily so that your disability does not stress those around you โฆ. Without both legs, I think it is not worth the pain thinking that for those close to me, I would have become an ordeal (I donโt know if Iโm wrong in thinking so).
I started drinking ionized alkaline water, sent by my friend, in the first days 3 liters and then, easily, I drank 5-6 liters a day.
The effects of ionized alkaline water in obliterating arteritis
Until then, the foot was, from the knees down, cold and white, and the pain and burns, especially at night, were unbearable; I ended up taking 3-4 ketone pills a night.
After 2 weeks of drinking ionized alkaline water, the pain and burns diminished and in a few days they disappeared completely. After 3 weeks, the foot warmed up and has remained so until now.
On March 17, I went to a private clinic in Constanศa and I had (for the amount of 800 lei, CNAS funds not allocated until then) an angio CT examination of the arteries in the pelvis and lower limbs which showed:
โ amputation of the right thigh;
โ 50% by-pass stenosis;
โ tibio-peroneal trunk occlusion 70%;
โ posterior tibial artery โ occlusion.
In the meantime, I was scheduled for hospitalization at the University Emergency Hospital of Bucharest and on May 12, 2017, I had arteriography that showed that the aorta and iliac axis are permeable, femoropopliteal bypass is permeable and the leg trunk is permeable.
Arteriography is an invasive investigation of the arteries and remains the most significant in the analysis of blood circulation, measurements, and images being made from inside the arteries.
Wellnessist note: the two tests mentioned above (CT scan and arteriography) show that the blood vessels that were previously closed in a proportion of up to 98% have now become permeable between 30-50%, so the blood can circulate again. Thus, the gangrene that seemed inevitable did not occur. The leg was saved from amputation.
I canโt put into words what I felt when the doctor who did my investigation recorded her voice as a result of viewing the monitor that showed the arteriography. It seems that never in my life has a word as trivial as โPERMEABLEโ had such a valuable meaning.
It seems that the sun also appeared on my street, which I wish for you too!
If you want to document yourself and see that ionized alkaline water seems to be the universal medicine, you can find hundreds of sites about it and its benefits.

Molecular hydrogen could be the latest major breakthrough in biomedicine, with more than 300 studies showing the beneficial effects of this new agent published in the last decade. Professor Sergei M. Ostojic, MD, PhD
What if there was a natural way to reduce pain and inflammation? To increase energy, cognitive functions, athletic performance and recovery? To neutralize harmful free radicals and support the bodyโs production of enzymes and antioxidants? And also to hydrate the cells and support the health and well-being of the whole body?
Scientists have discovered that hydrogenated water (water with dissolved molecular hydrogen) has all these properties and even more. Molecular hydrogen has become an important area in medical scientific research.
In recent years, more and more people are consuming alkaline water or ionized alkaline water and enjoying its benefits. However, until a few years ago it was not known that one of the elements that makes ionized alkaline water have beneficial properties is that it is also hydrogenated, (contains dissolved molecular hydrogen).
There are well-known water sources around the world that have healing or healing properties. Researchers recently discovered molecular hydrogen (H2) in water samples from Nordenau (Germany), Tlacote (Mexico) and Hita Tenryosui, Japan.
The existence of dissolved molecular hydrogen (H2) in these springs (and others) could be the result of the reaction of water with alkaline minerals in the soil, or it could be produced by certain hydrogen-producing bacteria and algae. Regardless of the source of hydrogen, research on molecular hydrogen (H2) and its benefits seems to explain the therapeutic properties of these hydrogenated waters.
Hydrogen is the lightest and simplest element in the Periodic Table of the Elements, and the first to appear in this table. Molecular hydrogen (H2) is also the smallest molecule, consisting of only two electrons and two protons. Due to its very small size, hydrogen is able to enter sub-cellular structures such as mitochondria, which makes it extremely bioavailable. It may even cross the blood-brain barrier. It is colorless, odorless, non-metallic, non-toxic and tasteless.
Research on the health benefits of molecular hydrogen (H2) has advanced rapidly in recent years thanks to studies by researchers around the globe. More than 600 scientific articles on the impact of molecular hydrogen (H2) on human, animal or isolated cells have been published.
These researches have found that molecular hydrogen (H2) regulates over 200 biomolecules and brings improvements in 166 diseases and disease models, which affect almost all organs in the human body.
Molecular hydrogen (H2) acts on human metabolism in three main areas:
Molecular hydrogen (H2) is not a foreign substance to the body, as it is a drug. Your body produces small amounts of H2 by bacteria in the digestive tract that digest plant fibers, which then diffuse into the blood.
Research shows that the introduction of molecular hydrogen into the body in higher concentrations than it can produce is much more efficient. In fact, the ingestion of hydrogenated water has been used in most studies and is the most effective way in which hydrogen brings strong beneficial effects in the body.
Hydrogen (H2) research is rapidly moving from theory to practical applications. Water ionizers and hydrogenated water generators allow doctors and consumers to benefit from the health benefits of molecular hydrogen.
โEffects have been reported in all organs, covering 31 categories of diseases that can be divided into 166 models of diseases, human diseases, pathologies associated with treatments, and pathophysiological conditions of plants with a predominance of diseases caused by oxidative stress and diseases. inflammatory. โ Medical Gas Research 2015; 5:12
There are several ways in which molecular hydrogen can be administered:
All these methods have therapeutic effects.
Of the above methods, the one that has proven in research so far to be the most effective in most cases has been hydrogenated water.
Although hydrogenated water does not bring such a high concentration of hydrogen into the body as other methods, it is probably the easiest method and is also very effective. Why? Probably because the inhalation of hydrogen or the production of hydrogen by bacteria in the intestine is continuous (and thus reaches homeostasis), while in the case of hydrogenated water the body receives hydrogen intermittently, which seems to be more effective.
There is a consensus at the moment that hydrogenated water is not only the easiest way to introduce molecular hydrogen into the body, but it is also the most efficient.

Hydrogenated water or hydrogen-rich water (also called hydrogen-enriched water) simply means ordinary water (H2O) that contains dissolved hydrogen (H2). For example, there are carbonated waters or carbonated beverages that contain dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2). Or there are hydrogen peroxide, which contains dissolved oxygen (O2). In the same way, we can have water that contains dissolved hydrogen.
One way you can get hydrogenated water is to take a hydrogen tank and insert the end of the hose that comes out of it into a glass of water. There are many other ways to get hydrogenated water, but the above can help you understand what hydrogen water is. It is simply water that contains dissolved hydrogen.
What does all of the above mean to you? How can hydrogenated water help you, and where can you get it? You can find the answers below.
โIt is no exaggeration to say that the impact of hydrogenated water in therapeutic and preventive medicine may be enormous in the futureโ Free Radical Research 2010
Chronic oxidative stress has been identified as one of the major causes of aging and modern chronic diseases. Everyone knows that there are many antioxidants available. However, they achieved only limited success in medical tests. Molecular hydrogen has certain specific advantages, which makes researchers propose it as a new antioxidant with superior preventive and therapeutic applications.
H2 is the smallest molecule. Other antioxidants such as Vitamin C or Vitamin E have very large molecules by comparison. They must also be digested, absorbed in the intestine, transported and finally absorbed by the cells. H2 penetrates the stomach walls quickly and acts inside the cells immediately. H2 is able to reach every part of the cell much faster, protecting DNA, RNA and proteins from the oxidative stress that damages them.
Each H2 molecule neutralizes two free radicals. It easily separates into two atoms that neutralize free radicals created by our daily oxidative stress. This process results in water, which hydrates the cells.
H2 is selective and targets only โbadโ free radicals. Oxygenated radicals are extremely harmful. However, our body also produces โgoodโ free radicals, which are useful for the body. Other antioxidants only partially neutralize free radicals, both good and bad. Worse, these antioxidants can themselves become free radicals once they have done their job. Molecular hydrogen (H2) acts selectively only on bad free radicals and, unlike other antioxidants, completely neutralizes them.
The modern lifestyle has greatly increased the oxidative stress on our body, leading to alarming percentages of chronic diseases and poor health. As a population, we are in imbalance and aging. We need something to alleviate the degradation of the body that occurs due to aging. Science makes it clear: water with molecular hydrogen is a strong and effective foundation for better health, general well-being and for slowing down the aging process.
H2 reduces inflammation and pain. As we age, we have more pain. H2 has been shown to be a powerful anti-inflammatory. It can also alter activated genes that create a state of continuous inflammation.
H2 supports an optimal level of cognitive functions. The brain is 2-4% of body mass but consumes 20-40% of the oxygen you breathe. Because 2-5% of the oxygen you breathe turns into free radicals, your brain is severely damaged by oxidative stress. H2 neutralizes excess free radicals that occur in the brain.
H2 supports the health of each cell. Research shows that H2 improves cellular communication, cellular metabolism and the process of gene expression. This could explain its anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-apoptotic (cell death prevention) effects.
H2 activates the production of our own antioxidants. H2 triggers the activation of antioxidant enzymes in the body (eg glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, etc.) and / or proteins that protect the cell. Each of these enzymes neutralizes a certain type of free radical, and together they work together to keep cells healthy.
Performance athletes and people who do sports for pleasure or to be in good physical shape are subjected to higher oxidative stress than sedentary people. They are also more vulnerable to the effects of chronic dehydration.
H2 helps increase energy levels. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the fuel that creates energy inside cells during exercise. Research shows that H2 increases ATP production, and thus helps you maintain a high level of energy and achieve better performance.
H2 improves performance and reduces recovery time. When you train, the level of lactic acid increases, which leads to fatigue, muscle degradation, low endurance, low performance and results. Research done on athletes has shown that hydrogen lowers lactic acid levels which leads to better performance and faster recovery.
H2 reduces oxidative stress. When we train we use more oxygen which causes more free radicals to be generated which leads to higher oxidative stress. H2 easily enters intracellular compartments helping to protect them from harmful cytotoxic oxidizing radicals.
H2 improves hydration. When molecular hydrogen molecules (H2) combine with a free radical that they neutralize, water (H2O) results, which increases cellular hydration. Molecular hydrogen infused water is also more easily absorbed by the body than regular tap water.
In conclusion, whether you work or play, you are old or young, healthy or sick, molecular hydrogen (H2) offers everyone a wide range of important benefits. Most supplements have only one mechanism of action. Hydrogenated water or H2 tablets have several mechanisms of action. There is already solid scientific documentation that proves its therapeutic benefits.
If you are interested in optimizing your health and well-being, enjoying more energy and greater mental clarity, and increasing your athletic performance, what are you waiting for? Give your body the opportunity to feel good and function to the fullest naturally. Join the H2 revolution. Do what is scientifically proven to work. Drink hydrogenated water.
Letโs see now how to get hydrogenated water.
There are several ways to produce hydrogen water:
The easiest way to drink molecular hydrogenated water is to buy a water ionizer or a hydrogenated water generator. Both produce water with dissolved molecular hydrogen. The only difference between them is that the water ionizers also change the pH of the water (they make it more alkaline), and the hydrogenated water generators do not change the pH of the water.
So there are two types of hydrogenated water that the two types of devices produce:
The concentration of hydrogen dissolved in water produced by different models of water ionizers varies greatly, from less than 0.05 ppm to over 2.5 ppm, depending on the water source, water flow, device model and how much the electrodes are well cleaned.
Water ionizers were designed decades before the importance of molecular hydrogen was discovered. Therefore, they have been designed and optimized to obtain high pH values, not high hydrogen concentrations.
Usually, on a normal water source and at a maximum flow rate of water, the concentration of hydrogen in the water from a water ionizer is between 0.1 ppm and 0.7 ppm. When the water is adjusted to flow very slowly through the device, the hydrogen concentration increases, but also the resulting pH is high, which makes the taste of the water less pleasant.
The ability to produce high concentrations of molecular hydrogen at reasonable pH levels (below 9.5) is an important aspect to consider when choosing a water ionizer. Look for an ionizer model that has been optimized to produce as high a hydrogen concentration as possible at a pH of less than 9.5.
Both water ionizers and hydrogenated water generators produce hydrogenated water. What is the difference between them? The first has a higher pH between 8 -10, while the second has a neutral or slightly alkaline pH (7-7.5).
Which one should you choose? Did I answer this question in detail in the article Water Ionizer or Hydrogenated Water Generator?

As you already know, we are big fans of the prevention and maintenance of the body so that it is in top shape and works perfectly. But how do you know if the way you take care of your body works?
Sure, if you feel good and look the way you like, thatโs a good sign. It means you do well what you do. If you want clearer evidence, you can have it. You can measure the actual age of your body.
Itโs the age that comes out of your ID card, the one you say when everyone asks you how old you are. But there are other kinds of age.
Biological age, also called metabolic age, is the actual age of your body. It can be equal, smaller or larger than your age in the bulletin. Most of the time it is not equal to your chronological age. In other words, your body may be younger or older than your age.
If your biological age is higher than the one in the bulletin, it means that you have consumed your vitality reserves in advance, because you did not take care of your body properly. Itโs an alarm signal, which you shouldnโt ignore. If you keep it that way, you run the risk of experiencing more and more physical suffering as you get older. I doubt you want that.
If your biological age is less than your chronological age, congratulations! It means you have a younger body than other people your age. Keep it up, you do well what you do. Of course, you can go into finer details, there is always something you can improve in the functioning of your body, to make you feel even better. But youโre on the right track.
So far, Iโve come up with two ways to measure biological age:
Analysis with the SCIO bioresonance device
It is a device that you find in some medical offices, and it works on the principles of bioresonance. I have done some such analyzes in the past.
What I can say is that after I first measured several parameters, including biological age, I made some changes in my diet. I stopped eating sugar, processed products, I ate more raw vegetables and natural foods. After a month, I did another SCIO analysis again and there were clear differences in the measured parameters, including biological age, which decreased.
My conclusion is that SCIO detects changes in the body, and can be used as a benchmark to figure out where to start and if to go in the right direction.
The Omega device is a device that measures the electric field of the heart and brain. It records over 60 parameters of the heart and brain and based on them provides a wide range of information, including the biological age of the body.
I had the opportunity to do an analysis with the Omega device at the Fit for Life wellness center.
There may be other devices that can measure the actual age of the body. When we find out about other than the above, we will complete the article, so that you have more alternatives at hand to measure your progress on the road to strengthening your health.
If you want to feel and look your best, take care of your body. Take care of him properly, and you will keep his biological age at the same level as the one in the documents, or you will even lower it. Yes, you can have a body โyounger than youโ. When you need ideas for this, read the Wellnessist articles.
Iโve managed to keep the biological age below the chronological age so far, so I know itโs possible, and itโs not that hard. At the last measurement, my biological age was 12 years below the chronological age. Iโm just saying that to see that it is possible is not a cause for praise. What I want is for this to become normal for all people.
Have you ever measured your biological / metabolic age? How did it turn out for you, smaller or larger than the one in the bulletin? What exactly did you do to reduce it, if it came out bigger? If your biological age turned out to be lower than your chronological age, what in your lifestyle do you think makes it so? Iโm waiting for you to tell me in the comments.
A hydrogenated water generator is a device that produces hydrogenated water, i.e. water with dissolved molecular hydrogen. We talked at length about hydrogenated water and its benefits in the article Hydrogenated water and its benefits for your health.
In the last ten years, more than 600 studies have been done that have shown the effectiveness of hydrogen therapy in the treatment of a large number of diseases.
Hydrogenated water generators have emerged because people have sought to find various ways to produce hydrogenated water, and to test whether there are differences between hydrogenated waters obtained in different ways. Along with water ionizers, which have already been established and known for several decades, hydrogenated water generators are beginning to become more and more known and used in recent years.
Hydrogenated water generators produce hydrogen dissolved in water by electrolysis, just like water ionizers. However, the electrolysis chamber of a hydrogenated water generator is different from that of an ionizer.
The technology for the electrolysis chamber of hydrogen generators comes from hydrogen batteries for the automotive industry, only it is used not to produce electricity from hydrogen, but to produce hydrogen from electricity and water.
If there is an electron exchange membrane in a water ionizer in the electrolysis chamber between the electrodes, there is a proton exchange membrane in a hydrogenated water generator in the electrolysis chamber.
The electrolysis cell of a hydrogenated water generator is composed of:
One of the characteristics of the electrolysis cells of hydrogenated water generators is that some models have a limited lifespan, at least at this time. Depending on the model and type of appliance, a hydrogenated water generator electrolysis chamber may take:
Hydrogenated water generator connected to the IonPia H2 water network
This is a type of hydrogenated water generator that connects to the water network and produces water with hydrogen instantly when turned on. No need to wait, just turn on the appliance and the hydrogenated water starts to flow.
Some grid-connected hydrogenated water generator models have built-in filters to filter water from contaminants before hydrogen is introduced into it. Others do not have filters, but you can connect an external filter before them if you wish.
This is a type of small hydrogenated water generator that you can easily take with you to the office, gym or travel. It usually works on a rechargeable battery.
It consists of a small body, which contains the electrolysis chamber and the battery and a container in which the water to be enriched with hydrogen is placed. In other models, the electrolysis cell and the container are connected to each other.
After you put water in the container press a button and the generator starts to produce hydrogen, which dissolves in the water. You have to wait 3-5 minutes for an operating cycle, after which the appliance switches off automatically and you can drink freshly produced hydrogenated water.
After a few uses (5-10), you need to plug in the device to recharge its battery.
Some models even allow you to mount a plastic can or a threaded bottle instead of their container. This way you only have to carry the hydrogen generator body with you. You can easily find bottles anywhere. Hereโs what a hydrogen generator with a mounted glass looks like.
It is a variant of a portable hydrogen generator, which is designed to produce hydrogen water for external use, which you can use to wash your face or even your whole body.
There are also variants that you can introduce in the water in the bathtub in which you take a bath to transform the water in the bathtub into hydrogenated water.
Do you want to have a small container with hydrogenated water with which to refresh your face from time to time? There is a variant of hydrogenated water generator for this as well. Itโs a small portable hydrogenated water generator with a small container and built-in sprayer.
Hydrogen generators are one of the ways in which hydrogen dissolved in water can be obtained, as are water ionizers. There are similarities and differences between hydrogen generators and water ionizers, and we will discuss them further.
We have already shown the similarity between a hydrogenated water generator and a water ionizer: both electrolyze water, and in this process a quantity of hydrogen appears in the water.
The difference between a hydrogenated water generator and a water ionizer is that the hydrogenated water generator does not change the pH of the water. The hydrogenated water generator produces ionized and hydrogenated water, but does not produce alkaline water.
For more clarity, see the table below:
โGenerator apฤ hidrogenatฤ | โIonizator de apฤ | |
| โpH | โNeutral (7-7,5) | โAlkaline(7,5 โ 11) |
| โORP | โNegative (-1 โ -600 mV) | โNegative (-1 โ -800 mV) |
| Dissolved H2 | โYes | Yes (quantity depends a lot on the model) |
A water ionizer produces water: alkaline, negatively ionized, and dissolved hydrogen. The amount of dissolved hydrogen produced by a water ionizer differs greatly from model to model, however. If you choose a water ionizer, make sure you choose one that is optimized to produce as much dissolved hydrogen as possible. The lighter test, which you can learn more about in the article Frequently Asked Questions about Molecular Hydrogen Therapy, is not relevant to the amount of dissolved hydrogen.
A hydrogenated water generator produces water: negatively ionized and dissolved hydrogen. Hydrogenated water generators usually produce good amounts of hydrogen dissolved in water, because their electrolysis chamber is specially designed for this.
Another difference between a hydrogenated water generator and a water ionizer is that the hydrogenated water generator can produce hydrogen dissolved in water even from a water purified by reverse osmosis, so that it has almost no salts dissolved in it. Water ionizers need a water with a high enough salt content to make the water ionize.
The answer is nuanced and depends on your preferences. If you are mainly interested in hydrogenated water, you can take either type of appliance (if you make sure that the ionizer you buy is designed to produce a quantity of dissolved hydrogen comparable to that produced by a hydrogenated water generator , which not every ionizer model can).
If, in addition to hydrogen water, you want to take into account other elements when choosing, I recommend you read the article: Water Ionizer? Hydrogen generator? You decide.
Iโm glad you asked. You can find quality hydrogenated water generators in the Wellnessist store.
If you have any further questions regarding hydrogenated water generators or water ionizers, please contact us. Our consultants are friendly, skilled, and will help you with any information you need.
This article is the first in a series in which you will find several ways to clean your ionizer. The first method, the one in this article, is the cheapest for you, so I recommend it to you before the others. It is easy to do and below you have detailed instructions.
Alkaviva ionizers have the best electrode self-cleaning systems. However, no matter how efficient the self-cleaning system is, small mineral deposits can appear in the electrolysis chamber over time. If these deposits exceed a certain threshold, the performance of your ionizer will decrease.
In order for your ionizer to maintain its pH, ORP and Hydrogen performance over time, it needs from time to time a single maintenance operation on your part: periodic cleaning.
Also in any ionizer there are other areas where mineral deposits can appear over time. These accumulations of minerals can reduce the flow of alkaline water or even completely clog the inner pipes of the ionizer, which can cause the appliance to block.
Depending on the level of hardness of your water source, accumulation usually does not become a problem for at least 8-24 months of use.
In Romania, on average, a cleaning of the ionizer once every 12 months is sufficient.
If you live in an area with extremely hard water, you may need to clean the ionizer every 6 months.
Ideally, clean your ionizer once a year, best when changing filters. If you prefer to clean it more often or less often, see below how you can tell that the ionizer needs cleaning.
Caution: if you choose to clean the ionizer less than once every 12 months, there is a risk of losing the warranty if the appliance fails due to mineral deposits.
The ionizer should be cleaned when mineral deposits become visible and exceed certain limits, or when the flow of alkaline water decreases.
1. Ionizers mounted above the kitchen worktop: Vesta H2, Athena H2, Melody II, Vesta GL 988, Athena JS 205, Orion JP 109, Melody / Isis JP104, Venus JP 107, Microlite, Neptune, or any other type of ionizer mounted on the countertop.
Remove the stainless steel hose and inspect both ends for signs of any white residue that may have accumulated inside the hose. This residue appears as a white crust on the inside of the hose. The appearance of this white ring is a clear sign of excessive mineral accumulation. If the white ring is thicker than 2 mm, the appliance needs cleaning.
Most of the time, it is enough to check the flexible stainless hose to see if the ionizer needs to be cleaned. There are other areas that you can check, and that you can find in the article Does my ionizer have mineral deposits?
Note: If your ionizer is mounted under the countertop and you use a control valve (Undersink Kit), check for mineral deposits where the hose through which the alkaline water passes connects to the ionizer. Mineral deposits are not always visible at the tap.
Inspect the end of the faucet through which the alkaline water flows. If you notice mineral deposits on the tip of the tap, it means that there are mineral deposits in the whole ionizer. Delphi has a 5/16 โhose that runs from the ionizer to the computerized control valve. Disconnect the 5/16 โhose and put it in vinegar overnight to soften and remove salt deposits.
For more details on how to check if the ionizer has mineral deposits, see also the article Does my ionizer have mineral deposits ?
The safest way to clean the appliance is to circulate vinegar through the ionizer, using a small aquarium pump or a small garden pump.
The best time to clean the ionizer is when you are ready to replace the filter or filters of your ionizer. If you intend to clean the ionizer before the next change of filters, it is good to keep a set of spent filters for re-use at the next cleaning.
If you have any questions, problems or concerns while cleaning, call +40724 333 909 or +40757 661 693. We are here for you.
To clean the ionizer you need:
What I call the aquarium pump below you will find at pet supply stores under the name of aquarium filter.
Buy 2 liters of vinegar, preferably white vinegar, obtained by distillation, with 9 degrees.
You will use the bowl to put the vinegar and the aquarium pump in it. It can be any vessel: saucepan, glass or plastic bowl, a PET container, etc.
You can clean the ionizer without old filters, but itโs easier that way.
Remove the stainless steel flexible hose from the ionizer. On most models, the stainless hose is removed by unscrewing. At the Vesta GL988 ionizer, the stainless hose is removed by pulling on it, without rotating it.
Put it in a bowl with vinegar, preferably in an upright or oblique position. If you put it lying horizontally, the time required for cleaning will be much longer. A 2-2.5L PET with a cut top is a perfect container. You will need to give the flexible stainless hose a spiral shape to fit.
Washing and preparing the stainless hose will speed up the cleaning process, but if it does not have very large salt deposits in it, you can skip this step.
3.2 If you do not have a set of old filters in the device, remove the filters from the device and cover with a sponge or silicone plug the hole where the top of the filters is connected to the device (for models in the JP and Vesta GL range), or the holes in the ionizer where the filters are connected (to Melody II, Athena H2 and Vesta H2).
If you have old filters in your device, skip this step.
The area where the plug is to be placed, at the JP range ionizers or at the Vesta GL. The plug is placed on both sides, at the ionizers with two filters.
4. Connect the gray acid water hose of the ionizer to the pump
The gray acid water hose of your ionizer must be connected to the outlet of the aquarium pump. Depending on the type of aquarium pump you bought, you will need to find the best way to connect the hose to the pump.
Most of the time, the acid water hose is a little thicker than the outlet of the aquarium pump, and it is enough to thin it a little with a cutter or knife, after which it will enter a little forced into the outlet nozzle of the pump.
Below you can see how I prepared the gray acid water hose for connection to an aquarium pump.
If your hose is thinner than the pump outlet nozzle, you can find a way to increase the diameter of the hose, either by putting a few layers of insulating tape on the hose or finding a small piece of a thicker hose, with which wear the end of the acid water hose.
Whatever your situation, when connecting the hose to the pump the connection must be tight/tight enough so that the pump pushes the vinegar through the hose and not next to it.
Aquarium pump with acid water hose connected
You can use the filter for the whole aquarium, or you can just take the pump out of it and use it only. Usually the pump is at the top of the filter and comes off the filter body very easily. In the image above I only used the pump, without the rest of the aquarium filter body.
5.1. Bring the bowl of white vinegar to the ionizer
5.2. Place the aquarium pump with the ionic acid water hose connected to it in the vinegar bowl. The vinegar must completely cover the pump.
5.3. Install the flexible stainless hose to the ionizer. If you have already cleaned the flexible stainless hose, now install it in its place.
5.4. Position the end of the flexible stainless hose over the vinegar bowl. You should now have a circuit like the one below.
Plug the aquarium pump plug. The pump will start and start pumping the vinegar into the ionizer through the gray hose of acidic water.
Soon, the vinegar should flow through the stainless hose back into the vessel where the pump is located. If this does not happen, sometimes you will need to put your mouth in the end of the stainless hose and draw air from it until the pump starts and the vinegar starts to flow into the vessel.
If the level of vinegar in the bowl drops a lot, top it up.
As the vinegar passes through the ionizer, it will dissolve the mineral deposits in the appliance. Smaller or larger pieces of white salts will begin to flow into the bowl, which shows that the cleaning process is working.
Allow the pump to run and the vinegar to flow through the appliance for about 2.5 hours.
If the flow of vinegar stops along the way, it is possible that certain pieces of salt detached from the appliance have blocked some narrower areas. Unplug the pump, blow through the stainless hose to unlock the circuit, and then plug the pump back in. The circuit will start again.
7.1. After 2.5 hours of non-stop operation of the aquarium pump, prepare 2-3 liters of tap water.
7.2. With the pump running, move the end of the stainless steel hose over another bowl or over the sink. The pump will push the vinegar out of the ionizer without it returning to the vessel. When there is almost no vinegar in the vessel in which the pump is, add to the vessel the 2-3 liters of water you have prepared and let the pump push the water through the ionizer and clear it of vinegar.
7.3. When the pump has run out of water from the vessel, stop the pump and remove it from the vessel. Disconnect the acid water hose from the pump and put its end back in the sink.
7.4. If you removed the filters and put plugs in, remove the plugs and put the filters back in place. Be careful not to insert the filters without removing the plugs! You can clog the appliance.
7.5. Place the end of the stainless hose over the sink
7.6. If you have disconnected the ionizer from the water mains, reconnect it. Let the water flow through the ionizer for 10 minutes, without plugging it in.
7.7. Remove the old filters and install the new filters
7.8. Rinse the aquarium pump thoroughly under running water and then dry it before storing it until the next use. Rinsing and drying the pump before storage is important, because otherwise you risk that the pump will only work after a few cleanings and then break down.
7.9. Connect the ionizer to the outlet and start using it again. You have successfully completed the ionizer cleaning procedure. Congratulations!
For Delphi or UltraDelphi countertop ionizers, both the ionizer itself, the control valve, and the hoses that carry alkaline and acidic water from the ionizer body to the control valve must be cleaned:
The ionizer is cleaned by following the steps in this guide.
The control valve must be cleaned separately. One way to clean the faucet is to remove it from the countertop by unscrewing the retaining nut, and then filling the inner hoses of the faucet with white vinegar with a syringe. After filling the inner hoses with white vinegar, allow the vinegar to act for at least 3 hours.
Cleaning the hoses between the ionizer and the control valve by disconnecting them and inserting vinegar inside them. After making sure that the hoses are full of vinegar, let the vinegar work for at least 3 hours.
The cleaning process on the Delphi ionizer has a few steps in addition to cleaning the countertop ionizers. Until we produce a detailed guide for cleaning the Delphi / UltraDelphi model, use the information in this guide. If you have any questions, call us at +40724 333 909 or +40757 661 693.
Have you learned about the benefits of molecular hydrogen water therapy, but still have questions? I answered the most frequently asked questions below. If you have other questions, write them in a comment on this article and we will answer them.
Yes. Hydrogen gas has been shown to be very safe in concentrations hundreds of times higher than those used in therapy. Here are some examples:
Hydrogen safety was first proven in the late 1800s, when hydrogen was used to locate gunshot wounds. Reports have shown that there are no toxic effects on even the most sensitive tissues.
Another good example of hydrogen safety is that hydrogen is used (in very high concentrations) in deep diving since 1943, to prevent decompression. Studies have shown that there are no toxic effects of hydrogen, even at high concentrations and pressures (98.87% H2 and 1.26% O2 at 19.1 atm.).
Moreover, hydrogen gas is a naturally occurring element in the body, because after a high-fiber meal, intestinal bacteria can produce liters of hydrogen daily. This is another benefit of eating fruits and vegetables.
In short, hydrogen is a normal element in our body, as opposed to a substance foreign to the body that can only be produced in the laboratory.
The way hydrogen is found in water influences its stability and the speed with which it emerges from the water and dissipates in the air. Hydrogen can exist in water as:
Important: it is not enough to introduce hydrogen gas into the water to obtain a therapeutic water. Hydrogen must be dissolved in water. If the hydrogen is only in the form of gas bubbles, it will come out of the water immediately and dissipate into the atmosphere, and the water you drink will have almost no hydrogen.
An excellent example of undissolved hydrogen can be seen in the so-called โlighter sampleโ, in which a flame is held close to the alkaline water outlet of a water ionizer. There is a sound like a squeak and small sparks can be seen as the hydrogen coming out of the water ignites.
The problem is that the hydrogen that ignites is just undissolved hydrogen in water, which evaporates immediately into the air, and therefore does not offer you any therapeutic value.
So the sound like a creak, like small crackles heard on the lighter test only shows that hydrogen was produced by electrolysis, but the amount dissolved in water may be below the therapeutic level.
Undissolved hydrogen can also sometimes be seen in some water ionizers when the water looks โmilkyโ or โfoggyโ due to large bubbles of hydrogen gas. So, just because a water looks milky or just because you see a lot of bubbles in the water doesnโt mean that the water has a high concentration of molecular hydrogen. In fact, the concentration of dissolved molecular hydrogen may even be below the detectable or therapeutic level.
Water ionizers were designed decades before the importance of hydrogen was known. That is why they were designed to produce alkaline water and not dissolved hydrogen water. In fact, some ionizers can produce water with very high alkalinity, but without detectable amounts of hydrogen.
Other water ionizers can produce a good level of hydrogen when the electrodes and their pipes are clean, but after salt deposits appear inside them, the hydrogen concentration can fall below the detectable level. The duration until these deposits appear can be a few days, weeks or months, depending on the water source and how much the ionizer is used.
This emphasizes how important regular cleaning of the ionizer is, and the performance of its self-cleaning system. Each type of ionizer has a recommended period at which manual cleaning must be done. The more advanced the self-cleaning system of the ionizer, the less often it needs to be cleaned.
In conclusion, of all the molecular hydrogen produced by an ionizer, the only thing that matters to you is the amount of dissolved hydrogen. The higher the amount of dissolved hydrogen in relation to the total amount of hydrogen produced by the apparatus, the more efficient the apparatus is. Thus, if a system (water ionizer, hydrogen generator) were perfectly optimized, you should not see hydrogen bubbles in the water or hear sounds in the lighter test.
The presence of bubbles and sound in the lighter test does not mean that the water contains a high concentration of hydrogen. It also does not mean that the water does not contain hydrogen or contains a low concentration. These symptoms simply say nothing about how much hydrogen is dissolved in water, which is the only thing that matters to you.
This is the question that researchers are asking themselves and is still being investigated. Doses between 0.5 and 1.6 mg of hydrogen per day have been used in human and animal studies to date, and these doses have shown statistically significant benefits.
If your water has a hydrogen concentration of 1 ppm (equivalent to 1 mg / L), then two liters a day will give you a dose of 2 mg of hydrogen (H2). These doses are simply what has been shown to have effects in studies so far. For some people and for certain effective doses they may be higher or lower.
If we look at it from another point of view, we see that the waters of world-famous healing springs such as Nordenau (Germany), Lourdes (France), Tlacote (Mexico), Nadana (India), Hita Tenryosui, Japan, have hydrogen concentrations. molecular weight (H2) dissolved in water between 0.2 and 0.8 ppm. These concentrations and even higher concentrations can be obtained at home using a water ionizer or a hydrogen generator.
Maybe yes, maybe no โฆ There is obviously a minimum amount of hydrogen needed to get health benefits. This amount may also vary from person to person.
It is important to know that you cannot have a problem because you have consumed too much hydrogen. It does not accumulate in the body, so you will simply exhale the hydrogen that your body does not need. In many cases a clear dependence of the effect on the dose size was observed, so the more hydrogen was administered the stronger the effects.
There are also unproven claims that a higher amount of hydrogen offers greater benefits. But more research is still needed in this area for a well-documented answer.
Yes, hydrogen starts to come out of the water immediately, but it doesnโt suddenly disappear from the water. Depending on the size of the water contact surface with the air, the degree of agitation of the water, etc., the hydrogen can stay in the water for a few hours or more before its concentration drops below the therapeutic level.
Hydrogen water is similar in behavior to carbon dioxide (CO2) carbonated water, which does not come out of the water when you open the bottle. Gradually, however, carbon dioxide comes out of the water and after a while the water is no longer carbonated, so it is better to drink the water before it becomes flat. Exactly the same happens with hydrogen water, which instead of dissolved carbon dioxide has dissolved hydrogen.
Just like when you open a dose of acidic juice, as soon as the water with molecular hydrogen (H2) is left in the open air at normal atmospheric pressure, the hydrogen concentration decreases until it reaches equilibrium with the partial pressure of hydrogen in the atmosphere, which which means a concentration of H2 in water of 8.67 x 10-7 mg / L.
Because hydrogen is the smallest molecule in the universe, it is able to diffuse through all plastic containers and many other types of containers. Therefore, hydrogen has the highest effusion rate of all gases.
The rate of separation and dissipation of molecular hydrogen (H2) from water is directly proportional to temperature, liquid agitation, and air contact surface.
A 500 ml container of hydrogen peroxide, discovered, has a half-life of about 2 hours. In other words, if we leave the container with a water with a concentration of H2 of 1.6 mg / l, discovered in the open air, at room temperature, without stirring the water, the concentration of molecular hydrogen (H2) in the water will be approximately 0 , 8 mg / l after two hours. However, the dissipation rate is not exactly linear.
Important: Even if you have water with a high negative ORP, this does not mean that that water also has a large amount of dissolved hydrogen. You can have a water with an ORP of -700 mV that has more than 1 ppm of hydrogen or less than 0.05 ppm of hydrogen.
The concentration of hydrogen gas (H2) is often reported in moles (moles / liter (M) or millimoles / liter mM), parts per million (ppm), parts per billion (ppb), or milligrams per liter (mg / l ). In dilute solutions, 1 ppm is approximately equal to 1 mg / l and therefore usually the two units are used interchangeably. The molar mass of hydrogen is about 2 mg / millimole, so a 1 mg is about 0.5 moles. Consequently, 1 ppm = 1 mg / l = 0.5 mM.
The concentration of hydrogen gas (H2) in ordinary water (from tap, bottled, filtered) is about 8.65 x 10-7 mg / L. In other words, there are less than 8 million milligrams of H2 in the water. Therefore, the molecular hydrogen (H2) in the normal filtered water has no therapeutic value. Itโs just too little.
In the scientific literature, the concentration of 1.6 mg / l (1.6 ppm or 1600 ppb) is considered the โsaturationโ concentration, as this would be the concentration that would be reached in water if the atmosphere were composed only of hydrogen, and would have atmospheric pressure at sea level, which is 760 mm column of mercury (1.01 bar), ie 1 atmosphere (atm).
