There are many common misunderstandings about water, H20, the second most important resource our bodies need to function properly. Here are some common questions and misconceptions:
Some say water is water.
Most of us think that bottled, purified water is better for us to drink because it has gone through a filtration process. We prefer it over water that comes out of the tap. There is another kind of water, so different from bottled and tap water, and the only similarity is that it looks like just regular water. It is called “ionized” water. Ionization is the process whereby water passes over electrically charged medical-grade metal plates and undergoes a transformation. Single-source or tap water molecules separate into two kinds of water, alkaline and acidic water, each with negative and positive electrical charges. The pH (acid or alkaline properties) change, and the water molecules are restructured for more efficient absorption by the body.
What makes water good to drink?
From a health and wellness standpoint, the best water to drink is water that can hydrate you on a cellular level, to neutralize free radicals and alkalize your body. Ionized water has these special capabilities.
What’s the importance of optimum water pH?
The pH or “power” of hydrogen is a measurement of the acidity or basicity of a liquid. The optimum pH of circulating human body fluids should be about 7.365, which is slightly alkaline. Most people are slightly acidic due to lifestyle conditions. A chronic acidic state results in a compromised health profile, often followed by sickness and pain.
Why is ionized water the best water to drink?
A major cause of most illnesses and a state of compromised health can be traced to a body that is hyperacidic and dehydrated. Ionized water is the best water to drink because it is the most effective and efficient liquid to alkalize and rehydrate the body.
How does ionized water work within the body?
When you consume ionized water, the negatively charged, ionized, alkaline restructured water will rapidly move through your organs into your cellular level while it is neutralizing free radicals and hydrating the body.
What are the beneficial effects of drinking ionized water?
Some people will experience increased positive energy levels, easier elimination of body wastes and reduced pain from inflammation-type ailments (arthritis, gout, acid reflux). People also report improved skin tone (”shiny” or “rosy”) and overall body toning.
Does ionized water cure illness?
Ionized water does not cure anything. However, when a state of balance is attained, the body is better able to cure itself. The medical term is “homeostasis.” Consuming ionized water is one of the most effective ways to reach this natural state of balance in the body

Statistics show that a majority of U.S. patients who require an amputation are age 65 and older. Amputation will likely intensify feelings of dependency, depression and helplessness: I’m too old now to learn to live without a limb. Who cares anyway? Who knows how many years I have to live?
Years ago, I pioneered a concept of eating more to lose weight. The effectiveness of this approach has withstood the test of time. Some of my patients report losing over 50 to 100 pounds over the years simply by using my food “Mass Index” table that shows which foods will help you to lose weight. This table can be found in most of my books, such as the Eat More, Weigh LessR Diet and my latest book. the “Peace Diet™.” For a sample of this table, go to 
In Japan, they say we should first “eat with our eyes.” In other words, food should be presented in a visually pleasing manner. This turns out to be great advice to help slow and reverse the aging process. The more colorful your food, the more anti-aging nutrients it is likely to contain. For example, green foods tend to have lutein and zeaxanthin, powerful antioxidant nutrients that prevent aging. Yellow and orange vegetables and fruit tend to have lot of carotenoids that help with vision, skin, heart and the immune system. Red vegetables tend to have lycopene, which can protect against some cancers — notably prostate cancer — and may also help to protect the brain. Blue and purple vegetables and fruit have anthocyanins, also known to help prevent memory loss. Purple-red vegetables and fruit such as grapes and blueberries have resveratrol in them that can protect the heart. In future articles, I’ll cover these nutrients in detail and explain what foods are rich in these and other anti-aging nutrients.
Cancer is now close to becoming the No. 1 cause of death in the U.S. It seems like we see more cases of cancer than ever before. In addition to smoking and alcohol consumption, diet and lifestyle factors may play as great or greater roles in causing cancer. Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) came out with a statement that processed meats increase the risk of cancer. So avoiding processed meats would be a good health habit, in addition to eating colorful food.
Dropless Cataract Surgery is a new option for cataract patients that reduces the need for eye drops after surgery.
Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder with frequent awakenings and breathing disruptions of 10 seconds or longer, that occur when the patient’s airway becomes blocked.
Pain affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined. The American Academy of Pain Management estimates that more than 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain. Patients often explore multiple options for relief, but pain medication continues to be the mainstay of chronic pain management in the U.S.
When Wendell Murakawa retired from the Hawai‘i Department of Public Safety, he planned to “you know, take it easy, relax, hang out with my friends, drink, eat and enjoy life.” Then his doctor told him he had type 2 diabetes. “I knew I was overweight and began to watch my diet,” said Wendell. “But I noticed if you don’t exercise, the sugar number doesn’t go down — no matter what you eat.”
Because Wendell had never exercised, learning proper form, and how to breathe and stretch properly were a challenge. There were times he wanted to quit and I would have to remind him why he came to me in the first place — to get healthy.
Being diagnosed with a “chronic” disease like arthritis or diabetes often comes as a shock. Changes sneak up on our bodies or slowly weaken our ability to do our chores or enjoy pastimes. We don’t want to hear that our “little problem” is the first sign of a terrible disease.
If your teeth are tight, you can floss and brush bacteria away. Loose teeth trap bacteria, allowing infection to flow into the blood stream, affect other organs and compromise overall health.
