Magnetic water remains a little known treatment in the
field of magnetic therapy plus there is always much speculation as to the
validity of magnetizing water. Despite this skepticism magnetic water remains
one of magnet therapies most powerful treatments. Many scientists and doctors
profess that it is impossible to magnetize water, that water quite simply can
not hold a magnetic charge, my answer to these people is , “do a little more
scientific research and you will find that all water in it’s natural state
(such as a spring) has a magnetic charge”.
In order to
fully understand how magnetized water does work, it is important to know a
little bit about the water that comes out of your tap. The original source of
water is mountain streams, which flow into rivers and eventually out to sea.
The water has had contact with both over ground and under ground during the
passage to the sea. As the water passes under ground (many rivers and streams pass
under ground) it comes into contact with the earth’s magnetic field, the
magnetic charge is passed into the water and it becomes magnetized. Similarly
as the water flows over ground it comes into contact with magnetic rock
(lodestone) and water is again magnetized.
Once water is collected for consumption, it has to be
treated and purified. During transportation to the treatment plant the water is
carried in under ground metal pipes. The water is de-magnetized by the presence
of the metallic lining of the pipes and when it is purified and comes out of
the tap it is no longer magnetized. If you drink water from a spring at its
source it will be magnetized. The benefits of spring water have long been recognized,
how ever once the water is bottled and removed from the source it will only
keep it’s magnetism for 3 days before it dissipates. It is not possible to
permanently magnetize water.
Water seems, at first sight, to be a very simple molecule, consisting of just two hydrogen atoms attached to an oxygen atom. Indeed, there are very few molecules that are smaller or lighter
Once a water molecule has been exposed to a magnetic field the molecule changes in several ways:
1. The molecule increases in size, this increases the water solubility and
permeability (the ability to disperse and penetrate other substances). The
increase in permeability assists in the dissolution of nutritional substances
and improves the body's absorption of water as well as the nutritional
substances. Also when the size of the water molecule is increased its ability
to absorb toxins is much greater.
2. The surface tension and density of the water is increased. The increased
surface tension, permeability and density all combine to improve the intake of nutrition
in the body's cell structure. Increased surface tension allows the cell
membrane of the food to expand rapidly. This is beneficial to digestion. The
increase in density also aids in the absorption of nutrition.
3. The ions in the water are affected. This has the effect of reducing free
radicals contained within the water (free radicals are harmful substances found
in the body). A further benefit of the alteration to the ion states of both
calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate is this: the structure of these
compounds (which are the cause of the scale build up in water pipes, kettles,
taps etc) changes resulting in a much decreased build up of scale due to the
looser nature of the ions. This decrease in scale build up has resulted in
extensive use of magnetized water in central heating systems, water cooling
systems in engines, recycling
water systems and house water systems.
The following biological and therapeutic functions have
already been identified and verified by experiment:
• It can prevent damage to the endothelium (the layer of scale like cells that
line the inside of the blood and lymph vessels, also found in the lining of the
heart and some other body cavities). This has the effect of inhibiting the
build up of cholesterol,
thereby greatly reducing the chances of cerebral and cardiac arteriosclerosis
(thickening and hardening of the arteries).
• The viscosity of the water is lowered, resulting in improved blood flow
thereby aiding in the
prevention of cerebral and cardiac thrombosis (clotting of the blood in the
circulatory system resulting in the obstruction or complete blockage of the
blood flow).
• Magnetized water greatly improves the solubility of calcium thereby
inhibiting crystallization and, in fact, dissolving already formed calculus
(any hard, solid, concretion or deposit in any part of the body, such as kidney
stones) allowing it to become smaller, looser and easily broken. It is
therefore helpful in the treatment and prevention of kidney and cholecystitis
(gallstones).
• It has been found to seemingly increase the weight of the spleen (which has
various functions in modifying the structure of the blood) and thymus,
heightening the body's production of disease resistant antibodies, whilst also
aiding anti-aging.
• It has been found to seemingly increase the content of the body's
immunoglobulin and enhance the phagocytes (the action or process of leucocytes
[white blood cells] attacking bacteria) of the liver, spleen and blood vessels
endothelium. This is of considerable benefit to the cellular immune system.
• It can lower the content of blood plasma urea and free amino acid aiding in
the prevention of renal failure..
• Magnetized water has been shown to assist in the protection of the
stomach mucous, promote small intestine movement and increase the active
dissolution of food, there by alleviating the level of the pathological process
of stress induced ulcers.
• Gargling with magnetized water may fight gum disease..
• The treating scope of magnetized water is such that it can prevent, alleviate
or cure arteriosclerosis, hypertension (abnormally high blood pressure, especially in the arteries, or a
diseased condition of which this is the chief symptom), coronary heart diseases
are also able to be treated.
Experimental study and clinical observation have
demonstrated that there are no side effects from drinking magnetized water over
a long period of time.
This is not “witch doctory” or “hokum” it is a
scientifically proven and remarkably effective way of radically increasing the
power of magnets. In short, when you drink water that has been magnetized the
magnetism travels into the stomach and is absorbed into the blood steam through
the bowel wall; it is then very rapidly distributed around the whole body.
Of course the magnetic field that is circulating around the
body has the same effect on the inside as the magnetic field has on the outside
of the body. It will reduce inflammation with in the body plus increase blood
flow and oxygenation of the tissues, especially around any damaged areas.
Think about it, when you drink magnetized water you are
tackling your problem from inside and outside at the same time. This 2 sided
approach will most definitely increase the strength of the magnetic field at
the point of pain plus it will also speed up the healing process by increasing
the absorption rate of the magnetic field by an amazing 10 times.
Your body stores harmful toxins with in the tissues (dermis) of the
skin, to keep the toxins from poisoning the body they are stored in small
pockets of fluid, this is seen as cellulite and feels like lots of little
raised bumps ( the body can store an extra 2 litres/4½ pints of fluid
containing toxins in the tissues). Toxins are released during many processes in
the body such as: during the inflammation process, from the breakdown of
medications (particularly painkillers and high blood
pressure tablets),
from the chemicals and additives in food and from environmental pollution.
Toxins are normally detoxified by the liver and sent to the kidneys for
excretion (expulsion of waste products). Some toxins are potentially harmful to
your body and can not be safely detoxified by the liver.
As magnetized water increases the size of the water molecule
its ability to absorb toxins is much greater, so as the magnetism water is
absorbed into the blood stream and transported around the body harmful toxins
are drawn out of the tissues and safely transported to the liver and then onto
the kidneys for excretion from the body.
In a nutshell, you can lose as much as 2 litres (4½
pints) of excess fluid that you don’t need. The knock on effect of losing this
excess waste fluid is that you will have so much more energy plus you will feel
less tired, sleeping will be easier and generally you will have a great sense
of wellbeing.
The magnetized fluid that you drink doesn’t have to be
water. It can be any cold liquid. Obviously it is better for your body if you
do drink water (the Dept of Health recommends drinking at least 8 glasses of
water each day) but some people do not like the taste of water or simply do not
drink very much water, if you can’t face drinking that amount or don’t like the
taste of water then you can magnetize any cold alternative, such as milk,
squash, fruit juice, fizzy drinks or even alcohol. Many people claim that
placing a water wand into a bottle of wine, or standing the wine on a magnetic
coaster improves both the clarity and the taste. See our bio-magnetic water page
Depending on the where you live magnetizing water may
have no effect at all on the taste of your water or it may dramatically improve
the taste of the water. This is due to the vast differences in the calcium and magnesium
(the minerals that make up lime scale) content of the water. Most people will
be familiar with the terms hard and soft water, hard water refers to water
containing a high concentration of calcium
and magnesium and soft water refers to water with low concentration levels.
Water that is hard contains calcium and magnesium compounds.
Rain water is naturally soft - it does not contain any minerals, but as it
seeps through the ground it can pick up minerals, such as calcium and magnesium
compounds, from the soil and rocks it passes through. If rain water passes
through soft rocks like chalk or limestone, it picks up these minerals. If it
passes through hard rocks, such as granite or through peaty soils, it does not
pick up these minerals and so remains soft.
Hard water causes pipes to fur up and scale to collect in
kettles and in electric irons and washing machines. If the scale collects on
heating elements it shortens their life and makes appliances less efficient. It
is also more difficult to work up a lather from soap, washing up liquid and
washing powders. It can also cause "tide marks" on basins, sinks,
baths and toilets.
The map below shows generally hard and soft water areas. The map is only an
indication because even hard water areas can contain pockets of soft water and
vice versa. You can get detailed information from your water company.
If you live in a hard water area you will notice quite a
considerable difference in the taste of your water once it has been magnetized.
The magnetic field reduces the calcium and magnesium content in the water,
which softens the water and improves the taste. If you already drink soft
water, you will probably notice very little difference or no difference at all
to the taste of your water once it has been magnetized.
Magnetized water may sound like a panacea for all illnesses
and ailments but unfortunately it isn’t that simple. Magnetized water has
numerous benefits for the body and it will boost the strength of externally
used magnets by 10 times, but when used alone it will not take all the symptoms
of an ailment away with out any other magnetic devices.
Having said this magnetic water is an extremely powerful
natural liquid that has immense potential , for assisting in the treatment of a
huge variety of conditions. As research into magnetic water continues I can
only conclude that an even greater list of properties and benefits will
continue to be discovered.
I recommend that all of my patients drink at least 4 glasses
(330ml) of magnetized liquid everyday. It is perfectly safe to drink as much magnetized
water as you like, there is not limit and you can never overdose on it. In some
chronic and severe conditions the more you drink the greater the benefit.
Throw off the age old skepticism of magnetic water, just
because you may not have covered this topic in high school science does not
mean that it is not a bona fide scientifically proven substance. The evidence
is out there waiting to be read.
