• Miron Violet Glass Bottles

  Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

  Miron glass water bottles incorporate the color healing properties of the violet spectrum. The violet glass filters all but the UVA and infra-red spectra of light. This light beneficially stimulates bio-logical substances stored within the glass container. Read our article Bio-photons: the Light in Your Cells, Food & Water.

  Drinking colour energized and solarized water

  Place the Miron violet glass bottle on a sunny window sill for two hours (or all day if overcast) to infuse the contents with the violet ray imparted by the Miron glass. The water will become noticeably more silky and sweet.

  Miron glass containers for food and water

  Miron glass containers have unique properties that offer optimal protection against the aging and degeneration typically caused by exposure to light. This makes them the ultimate container for high quality foods, dry goods and cosmetics, leagues beyond other glass jars for the protection and preservation of organic compounds.

  

  Cherry Tomato Test

  Life force & longevity preserved in Miron Glass

  The dark violet glass helps contain the life force of the contents of the bottle and maximize the longevity of their energetic and nutrient value. It filters out the damaging range of the light spectrum, allowing only the beneficial violet spectrum (specifically UV-A and Infra-red ) to penetrate.

  A cherry tomato was stored for 7 months in a clear glass jar and in a MIRON violet glass jar. Both jars were kept at room temperature and exposed to sunlight. The photo (left) reveals the result after 7 months of storage. The tomato stored in MIRON violet glass shows no loss of color and no signs of drying out.

• Bio-photons: the Light in Your Cells, Food & Water

  Sunday, December 4th, 2011

  
  Scientists have discovered that cells communicate by means of ultra weak light emmissions called biophotons. The quality of this light influences the order and coherence within a living system. Living cells receive and transmit energy in the form of radiation and light, even as life and energy upon earth are dependent on sunlight.

  According to world-renowned scientist, Dr. Fritz Albert Popp, bio-chemical reactions are far too slow to explain how biological systems instantly regulate metabolic processes. He advanced the theory that it is light (in the form of bio photons) that directs the cellular communication that sustains life.

  “Light can initiate, or arrest, cascade-like reactions in the cells, and that genetic cellular damage can be virtually repaired, within hours, by faint beams of light. We are still on the threshold of fully understanding the complex relationship between light and life, but we can now say, emphatically that the function of our entire metabolism is dependent on light.”
  Dr. Fritz Albert Popp, Biophysicist

  Beams of light called biophotons

  A biophoton is an ultra weak light emission (photon of light) from a living biological system. Biophotonics is the study of how these photons interact with and within biological systems.

  Biophotons appear to facilitate instantaneous communication throughout our bodies. Bio photon research shows that all living substances emit weak light which is probably the means for an intricate web of communication and energy that entwines all living systems.

  Bio-photons in food and water support health

  Human cells utilize this ultra weak light energy to sustain and order complex life processes. Nutritious food and vibrant water supply the body with energy. Sustained energy means less entropy (decline and degeneration). Less entropy means greater order, proper metabolic functioning and coherence. The bio-photons in food and water can provide order as well as energy to the body. Popp maintained that the primary benefit of nutritious food is not for chemical supply of energy, but rather for the ability of that food to transport oscillations in the form of biophotons which decrease the entropy of the organism. The same principles apply to water and explain why it is so beneficial to drink ‘living’ water.

• Water as Consciousness

  Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

  It is fascinating to consider that the reason your brain is 95% water is because water is the ultimate receiver and carrier of information. A single drop of water can store many terabytes* of information. This suggests that the watery content of your brain makes it a far more powerful information processor than any computer. This thought inspires drinking more water!

  Water has memory

  Even more fascinating are increasing new revelations that water is the medium of consciousness.

  Evidence suggests that the malleable structure of water is far more significant than our preoccupation with its chemistry. The geometric clustering of water molecules are altered by the subtlest of influences. Hundreds of thousands of information panels constitute these geometric structures. They register energetic imprints from substances, activities and the frequency of thought to which water has been exposed. This attribute is sometimes referred to as the ‘memory’ of water.

  A remarkable film called Water – the Great Mystery**  interviews world class scientists about these fascinating properties of water, one of whom refers to its impressionable structure as the ‘alphabet’ of water.

  Human emotions change water

  Evidence shows that any substance that contacts water leaves a trace upon it. However, human emotions are the strongest influence. Water constitutes, migrates and interpenetrates everything. All is connected by water. We can change our world, via water, by the conscious use of thought and feeling.

  Our ancient traditions of using ‘holy’ water spring from this knowledge. The frequency of prayer corrects the water already inside the body. Water is the information carrier that changes the blood, tissues and reflects the very character of human consciousness.

  The Earth, our planetary body, is a giant container of water. It, too, responds to the quality of our thoughts and feelings. Love increases the frequency that imprints upon water.

  Primordial intelligence

  Interestingly, it is water we seek to determine the presence of life (consciousness!) on other planets. Water brings a pre-existing impulse to life. It creates the structure of DNA and proteins. Every seed and embryo begins in water, the carrier of the biological intelligence that is the determiner and means of change.

  Dr. Emoto’s water crystals

  Water’s response to human thought have been popularly demonstrated by Dr. Masaru Emoto’s frozen water crystals. These crystals reveal how water structures itself according to the imprint of human thought and activity. Beautiful symmetry occurs when water is exposed to loving and uplifting influence.
  
  Russian physicist demonstrates the influence of human thought on water

  Russian physicist, Konstantin Korotkov, has developed a technique using ‘bioelectography’ that can register light emmissions from living things, including water. His instruments ‘see’ biophotons which indicate the health and vitality of the subject from which they emanate, whether it be a human or a drop of water. Korotkov’s studies also show that subtle changes of intention alter the strength and quality of light emissions from humans and water.

  Collective intention experiment for water on March 22

  Author, Lynne McTaggart, has organised a group of scientists for The Intention Experiment, a series of experiments demonstrating the transformative power of collective intention.

  All three of the above researchers are convening at Lake Biwa in Japan on March 22, 2010 (World Water Day) for a Clean Water Experiment. You can join the live experiment here.

  Our love and gratitude can transform water – our bodies, our minds, our planet.

• Water Ionizers Explained!

  Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

  Water ionizers are electrical devices that convert ‘regular’ water into two simultaneous streams of ‘functional’ water, each with distinct benefits and uses.

  One stream is alkaline antioxidant water for drinking. The other stream is acid oxidizing water for external use.

  Ionizers accomplish this by a process called electrolysis. All brands of water ionizers employ this same technology and all, to date, are manufactured in Asia where they have been recognized as amedical device since 1985.

  Alkaline antioxidant ionized water

  Alkaline antioxidant ionized water is a smooth, energizing and great tasting water that possesses alkalizing, micro-clustering and anti-oxidant properties. It has excellent absorption, hydrating and detoxifying abilities. It is alkalizing and recommended for drinking at selected settingsbetween pH 8 and 9.5.

  However, the most important characteristic of this water is its antioxidant power – the ability to transform water from an electron-seeking to an electron-donating substance. Unlike regular water, alkaline ionized water is an antioxidant providing an abundance of available electrons capable of neutralizing cell-destroying free radicals.

  Acidic oxidizing ionized water

  Acidic oxidizing ionized water is an astringent water that is excellent for your skin.
  Strong acid water (below pH 2.9) has disinfectant properties that make it useful for sterilizing minor wounds and an excellent chemical-free alternative to conventional household cleaners.

  Benefits of Drinking Ionized Water

  Water ionizers transform ordinary drinking water into these health-enhancing properties…

  • Alkaline Water

  The typical western diet (especially eating meat), stress, environmental toxins, drugs,
  lack of sleep and exercise acidify the body.
  Acid wastes accumulate and overwhelm the blood, organs and tissues resulting in weight gain and toxicity. Studies show that an acidic environment within the body invites disease conditions while an alkaline environment
  inhibits them. Ingesting alkalizing foods and alkalized water helps correct acidification. Ionizers produce alkaline water. Adding fresh lemon juice, baking soda or alkalizing mineral drops to your water will also make ordinary water alkaline.
  

  • Micro-Clustered Water

  As demonstrated so beautifully by Dr Emoto’s frozen water crystals, water in its original form
  is highly organized and hexagonal in structure. De-natured water, that has been piped, pressurized and treated with chemicals, loses its original vitality and this life-enhancing structure. Groups of water molecules bind together in larger clumps making water less able to hydrate and penetrate into living tissues. Ionized water ‘micro-clusters water into smaller molecular groups. This finer water penetrates and hydrates cells more deeply and is more effective at washing away cellular toxins.

  • Anti-Oxidant Water

  This is a little complicated and the most important benefit of drinking ionized water.
  The anti-oxidant power of ionized water is the main reason for spending $2000 on an ionizer. So make sure you buy a machine that has the power to deliver anti-oxidant results given your local water supply. This is explained in more detail under ‘About ORP’.

  About ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential)

  Ion exchange, the giving and taking of electrons, is an activity underlying all living processes.

  Substances lacking electrons are aggressively seeking electrons – this makes them oxidizing agents. Examples of oxidizing activity are cut apples turning brown, iron rusting, the consuming power of fire and the killing power of chlorine and ozone.

  Substances with a surplus of electrons are electron-donating – these are ‘reducing’ or anti-oxidizing agents.

  ORP (oxidation reduction potential) refers to the degree to which a substance is oxidizing or reducing (anti-oxidizing). This effect is measured in millivolts (mv) with special metres.

  Positive ORP readings indicate oxidizing potential.
  Negative ORP readings indicate reducing (anti-oxidant) potential.
  The further the reading is from zero, the stronger the potential.

  Tap water, bottled water and filtered water are oxidizing, with a positive ORP usually between 300mv and 500mv.
  The most significant health benefit of water ionizers is their ability to transform incoming water (your water source) into negative ORP water thus making it antioxidant water.

  Platinum-Coated Titanium Electrodes

  The heart of any water ionizer is its electrolysis chamber consisting of 3 or more electrodes. These electrodes, also called plates, are made of platinum-coated titanium. The more electrodes the ionizer has the more powerfully it can ionize.

  Local Water Quality Influences Results
  The ionization process is dependent on the mineral content of the incoming water. The greater the mineral content of the water supplied to the ionizer, the stronger its ionization capabilities will be resulting in better negative ORP delivering more antioxidant power for health benefits.

  In nature, water acquires mineral content by seeping into the earth where it comes in contact with mineral deposits. This mineral-rich water is called ‘hard’ water and is typical of most water supplies in North America.

  Water that has been distilled or treated with reverse osmosis has been stripped of mineral content and cannot be used with water ionizers unless it has been re-mineralized first.

  Internet Videos Deceiving

  Because ionizer performance is dependent on mineral content of local tap water, results reported on internet videos are often deceptive. They are usually made in locations with ‘hard’, mineral-rich tap water – very different from our water in Metro Vancouver.

  Performance Challenges with Metro Vancouver’s Water

  Water in Metro Vancouver is ‘soft’ surface water from snow and rain collected in the North Shore mountain reservoirs. It is very low in mineral content. This means that a stronger ionizer is needed in order to get effective ionization.

  We recommend using an ionizer with 7 electrodes in Metro Vancouver and even then, mineral supplementation may be helpful. This is a very important consideration when choosing an ionizer. Be sure to choose a machine with sufficient ionizing power to transform your water supply into antioxidant water.

  About Filters

  Chanson ionizers incorporate an innovative on-board filter that is made of activated carbon wet-molded with fibre. This special formulation has 20 times more volume, 150 times more area and 10 times more speed of absorption than regular activated carbon.  The filter is silver-impregnated to add anti-bacterial properties. Nevertheless, it is important to note that no single filter of the type used onboard ionizers (of any brand) can comprehensively address all water contaminant issues.

  The Importance of Pre-filtration

  Water ionizers are not water filters. We highly recommend filtering water before it enters the water ionizer. Effective water filtration must be tailored to local water conditions. Although all ionizers have on-board water filters, these cartridges simply do not have the capacity to intercept the broad range of contaminants inherent in most water being supplied to homes today. Each water district or water source has distinct characteristics which may or may not include chlorine, chloramine, fluoride, pesticides, herbicides, pharmaceuticals, industrial contaminants, arsenic, etc.

  The micro-clustering properties of ionizers make pre-filtration all the more important. Ionized water penetrates deeply into the tissues and should be as contaminant-free as possible.

  Locally Appropriate Filtration

  We highly recommend pre-filtering water before it enters your ionizer. The cartridge(s) in your pre-filter should be carefully chosen for their ability to give you long-term protection from contaminants specific to your water supply. This important precaution is simple to implement and inexpensive to maintain. Pre-filters can be countertop ($120 and up) or undersink devices ($220 and up) depending upon whether your water hookup and ionizer are above or below your counter.

So make sure you buy a machine that has the power to deliver anti-oxidant results given your local water supply. This is explained in more detail under ‘About ORP’.

  Health Benefits Linked to the Use of Ionized Water

  Cancer, diabetes, arthritis, tremors, asthma, hangovers, acid reflux, digestive problems, inflammatory conditions,
  range of motion recovery, skin disorders, hypertension, weight loss, chronic pain, cholesterol, bowel problems,
  allergies, fatigue, brain fog, lethargy, frequent colds, respiratory ailments and stiff joints are  some of the conditions for which significant health benefits have been reported from using ionized water. See clinical reports.

  Easing into Ionized Water

  Ionized water will hydrate your tissues more deeply than bottled, filtered or tap water. Consequently uncomfortable, detoxifying symptoms may occur for a few days when  you first start drinking this water. These temporary reactions may include headaches, nausea, flu-like symptoms, skin eruptions and loose elimination.

  It is recommended that you start drinking ionized water at the Alkaline 1 setting. After two weeks (or longer) if comfortable, increase to level Alkaline 2 with a similar interval before increasing to level Alkaline 3. If discomfort occurs, go back to a lower alkaline level while maintaining or increasing the volume of ionized water consumed. This will flush out the cause (detoxification) of any temporary discomfort.

  How Much Should You Drink?

  To be properly hydrated you should consume ½ oz of water per pound of body weight per day. However, 1oz of ionized water per pound of body weight is the recommended daily dosage for optimizing the benefits of drinking ionized water.

  Occasionally, test your urine first thing in the morning with pH test strips. Most bodies are overly acidic. Aim for a urine pH reading of 7.4.
