Electromagnetic fields and public health

Exposure to extremely low frequency fields

Backgrounder
June 2007

The use of electricity has become an integral part of everyday life. Whenever electricity flows, both electric and magnetic fields exist close to the lines that carry electricity, and close to appliances. Since the late 1970s, questions have been raised whether exposure to these extremely low frequency (ELF) electric and magnetic fields (EMF) produces adverse health consequences. Since then, much research has been done, successfully resolving important issues and narrowing the focus of future research.

In 1996, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the International Electromagnetic Fields Project to investigate potential health risks associated with technologies emitting EMF. A WHO Task Group recently concluded a review of the health implications of ELF fields (WHO, 2007).

This Fact Sheet is based on the findings of that Task Group and updates recent reviews on the health effects of ELF EMF published in 2002 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), established under the auspices of WHO, and by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) in 2003.

ELF field sources and residential exposures
Electric and magnetic fields exist wherever electric current flows - in power lines and cables, residential wiring and electrical appliances. Electric fields arise from electric charges, are measured in volts per metre (V/m) and are shielded by common materials, such as wood and metal. Magnetic fields arise from the motion of electric charges (i.e. a current), are expressed in tesla (T), or more commonly in millitesla (mT) or microtesla (µT). In some countries another unit called the gauss, (G), is commonly used (10,000 G = 1 T). These fields are not shielded by most common materials, and pass easily through them. Both types of fields are strongest close to the source and diminish with distance.

Most electric power operates at a frequency of 50 or 60 cycles per second, or hertz (Hz). Close to certain appliances, the magnetic field values can be of the order of a few hundred microtesla. Underneath power lines, magnetic fields can be about 20 µT and electric fields can be several thousand volts per metre. However, average residential power-frequency magnetic fields in homes are much lower - about 0.07 µT in Europe and 0.11 µT in North America. Mean values of the electric field in the home are up to several tens of volts per metre.

Task group evaluation

In October 2005, WHO convened a Task Group of scientific experts to assess any risks to health that might exist from exposure to ELF electric and magnetic fields in the frequency range >0 to 100,000 Hz (100 kHz). While IARC examined the evidence regarding cancer in 2002, this Task Group reviewed evidence for a number of health effects, and updated the evidence regarding cancer. The conclusions and recommendations of the Task Group are presented in a WHO Environmental Health Criteria (EHC) monograph (WHO, 2007).

Following a standard health risk assessment process, the Task Group concluded that there are no substantive health issues related to ELF electric fields at levels generally encountered by members of the public. Thus the remainder of this fact sheet addresses predominantly the effects of exposure to ELF magnetic fields.

Short-term effects

There are established biological effects from acute exposure at high levels (well above 100 µT) that are explained by recognized biophysical mechanisms. External ELF magnetic fields induce electric fields and currents in the body which, at very high field strengths, cause nerve and muscle stimulation and changes in nerve cell excitability in the central nervous system.

Potential long-term effects

Much of the scientific research examining long-term risks from ELF magnetic field exposure has focused on childhood leukaemia. In 2002, IARC published a monograph classifying ELF magnetic fields as "possibly carcinogenic to humans". This classification is used to denote an agent for which there is limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and less than sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity in experimental animals (other examples include coffee and welding fumes). This classification was based on pooled analyses of epidemiological studies demonstrating a consistent pattern of a two-fold increase in childhood leukaemia associated with average exposure to residential power-frequency magnetic field above 0.3 to 0.4 µT. The Task Group concluded that additional studies since then do not alter the status of this classification.

However, the epidemiological evidence is weakened by methodological problems, such as potential selection bias. In addition, there are no accepted biophysical mechanisms that would suggest that low-level exposures are involved in cancer development. Thus, if there were any effects from exposures to these low-level fields, it would have to be through a biological mechanism that is as yet unknown. Additionally, animal studies have been largely negative. Thus, on balance, the evidence related to childhood leukaemia is not strong enough to be considered causal.

Childhood leukaemia is a comparatively rare disease with a total annual number of new cases estimated to be 49,000 worldwide in 2000. Average magnetic field exposures above 0.3 μT in homes are rare: it is estimated that only between 1% and 4% of children live in such conditions. If the association between magnetic fields and childhood leukaemia is causal, the number of cases worldwide that might be attributable to magnetic field exposure is estimated to range from 100 to 2400 cases per year, based on values for the year 2000, representing 0.2 to 4.95% of the total incidence for that year. Thus, if ELF magnetic fields actually do increase the risk of the disease, when considered in a global context, the impact on public health of ELF EMF exposure would be limited.

A number of other adverse health effects have been studied for possible association with ELF magnetic field exposure. These include other childhood cancers, cancers in adults, depression, suicide, cardiovascular disorders, reproductive dysfunction, developmental disorders, immunological modifications, neurobehavioural effects and neurodegenerative disease. The WHO Task Group concluded that scientific evidence supporting an association between ELF magnetic field exposure and all of these health effects is much weaker than for childhood leukaemia. In some instances (i.e. for cardiovascular disease or breast cancer) the evidence suggests that these fields do not cause them.

International exposure guidelines

Health effects related to short-term, high-level exposure have been established and form the basis of two international exposure limit guidelines (ICNIRP, 1998; IEEE, 2002). At present, these bodies consider the scientific evidence related to possible health effects from long-term, low-level exposure to ELF fields insufficient to justify lowering these quantitative exposure limits.

WHO's guidance

For high-level short-term exposures to EMF, adverse health effects have been scientifically established (ICNIRP, 2003). International exposure guidelines designed to protect workers and the public from these effects should be adopted by policy makers. EMF protection programs should include exposure measurements from sources where exposures might be expected to exceed limit values.

Regarding long-term effects, given the weakness of the evidence for a link between exposure to ELF magnetic fields and childhood leukaemia, the benefits of exposure reduction on health are unclear. In view of this situation, the following recommendations are given:

~Government and industry should monitor science and promote research programmes to further reduce the uncertainty of the scientific evidence on the health effects of ELF field exposure. Through the ELF risk assessment process, gaps in knowledge have been identified and these form the basis of a new research agenda.

~Member States are encouraged to establish effective and open communication programmes with all stakeholders to enable informed decision-making. These may include improving coordination and consultation among industry, local government, and citizens in the planning process for ELF EMF-emitting facilities.

~When constructing new facilities and designing new equipment, including appliances, low-cost ways of reducing exposures may be explored. Appropriate exposure reduction measures will vary from one country to another. However, policies based on the adoption of arbitrary low exposure limits are not warranted.

My Search for Magnetic Springs

The Saratoga Water Witch

30 May 2013 · Saratoga Springs, NY, United States · 

My Search for Magnetic Springs

My second trip to Saratoga four years ago was one of exploration, finding all the existing springs and researching the lost waters. While there, I picked up a video entitled, “Historic Views of the Spa City.” There among the photographs of the past, was a picture of “Magnetic Spring Baths.”

Well, that left me determined to get back to America’s spa city, Saratoga, N.Y., as soon as possible. In the interim, I pondered how the proprietors of Magnetic Spring Baths might have “magnetized” the water. Now understand, for the previous 15 years I’d been playing with the researchers and scientists who were studying and processing waters that were structured, ionized, vortexized and magnetically charged within their laboratories with excellent results . So, my mind was in the lab.

On my journey back to research the magnetic water of its day, the “magnetic water” of Saratoga, I pondered. Did the owners of the spring use solid magnetic s? If so, positive or negative? Did they just stick a magnet on pipes and call the water magnetic, or did it truly effect the water? Did they use electro-magnetics? If so, was it direct current or alternating current? Did they use coils with possible knowledge of vector angles? All these are among the “magnetic water” experiments of today . Most importantly, were they as effective in health as experiments today were beginning to indicate?

Well, the water nymphs were hiding their smiles and laughter. As soon as I got my hands on what I consider to be the bible of Saratoga’s remarkable waters, (Dr. Grace Swanners book, “Saratoga, Queen of Spas,”) I found (on page 177), Magnetic-Peerless Spring among the springs along High Rock Avenue. Peerless Spring was a spring of relatively low mineral content, which “… had acquired its name from the fact that the tube through which the water came to the surface was found to be highly magnetized. This is not an unusual occurrence in mineral springs. The tubing's of many of the springs have been found to be so strongly magnetized, that steel tapes could not be used to measure their depth. ”

In other words, the waters came out of the ground magnetized by earth’s paramagnetic rocks and natural magnetic fields! The water spirits hid their smiles no longer at my “Well Duh!” Nature had already created the processes- and done it better. This is something I have continued to find in a great deal of non-corporate research and scientifically discovered processes done artificially today. It changed my main focus from the laboratory to nature.

******

The Magnetic baths ran as the only bath house in Saratoga to claim electric bells, steam boilers and porcelain tubs, and did so, until the spring ran dry in 1914. “Old Red” a spring high in iron content and in close proximity to Magnetic Spring is not magnetic to any obvious degree. Conversely, the admittedly limited analyses available show the Magnetic Spring low in iron although similar in other minerals to “Old Red.”

I found it hard to gather any leads to other natural occurring magnetic waters, except for a rumor of one in or once in, Colorado. That was it.

Several weeks later, at the annual summer conference of the USPA, there, slated to lecture, was Howard Remick, speaking on Japan’s natural magnetic water called, “Nariwa” (titled“Naturally Bio-Energized in Japan’s Magnetic Mountain.”) I’d found, in Japan’s Nariwa water, a source of earth-magnetized water. Or so I thought.

“Nariwa” water comes to the surface out of the side of a volcano. Locals have used this spring with many claims of substantiated health and longevity. Using the most exacting standards, Japan’s OHNO Institute on Water and Health (www.ohno.org) has spent in excess of a million dollars in researching, validating and cataloging the waters’ effects and benefits to health. Studies from 3 to 30 months (and continuing) show improvement in cellular absorption, detoxification, hydration and stability and in kidney function. It has been further proven to benefit our body’s pH level, and symptoms related to diabetes, asthma, arthritis, and hypertension, Multiple Sclerosis and other dis-eases. Significant improvement in age-related diseases such as memory loss and Alzheimer’s has been reported. This coincides with the traditional knowledge among the local peoples who have cataloged the spring’s effects for generations. Consideration should be given to the fact that the local people use this water for bathing. No official testing on “Nariwa” used for bathing, rather than drinking, has been documented.

Personally, I have found the effects of a half liter bottle in my bath water invigorating, leaving me with a clearing balance. I’ve also misted myself with “Nariwa” experiencing an electrical-like resonance over my outer skin after doing so. When I mentioned this to a friend who is employed at a noted government lab working on membrane permeation, he replied, “condenser action” with an ease indicating familiarity with the research on the “magnetic” waters.

Oh yes, I mentioned I thought I’d found “earth” magnetized water.
Well, the spirits smiled still. True, the water comes out of the earth naturally magnetized, but meteorites from space imbedded in the limestone of the volcano magnetize it. Earth water, space magnetized. The lesson? When it comes to water, don’t assume anything, because anything’s possible.

Fortunately “Nariwa” is low in mineral content, thus helping to isolate waters’ natural magnetic properties. We can then assume some similar aspects and overlaps in what the magnetic element adds to any water. Considering the cataloged health benefits of Saratoga’s mineral waters, the additional magnetic properties of “Magnetic Spring” would likely have added the effects common to all magnetized waters. Harder to speculate on, is the synergistic reaction creating properties and effects beyond the expected capability of the sum of the combined ingredients. The many species of water are holistic in personality; the benefits are on many levels with multiple systems functioning within the “living” water. His is just one of the many reasons that man cannot duplicate nature’s healing waters.

Saratoga’s historic waters are perhaps the finest example of the highly individual pharmaceutical aspects of healing waters. Each of the 80- plus varieties of water tested, being distinctly different when viewed from a medical/pharmacist perspective . Among those now gone and untestable by state of the art science was water of very special personality known as “Magnetic Spring.”

Cumulative Effect of Bio-Magnetism and Water on Increasing the Body's Resistance to Disease and Aging

© Copyright 2001 Yoshitaka Ohno, M.D., Ph.D., Ohno Institute and Howard Reminick, Ph.D., Ohno Institute, USA 
(Explore Issue: Volume 10, Number 2)

The body is under constant attack. Environmental contaminants make their way into the air, food and water, and invade our body. Rapid environmental changes in modern society have led to a breakdown of the body's defenses and a rise in immune-related diseases. Although we are living longer, we are really only living a longer period of time for our body to deteriorate from chronic disease associated with aging. Quantity of life, therefore, has replaced quality of life.

Throughout our lifetime, we are confronted with the mystery of why we become so susceptible to disease as we age. After many years of studying the relationship of water to disease and aging, I am convinced that the body's ability to resist disease and unnatural aging depends on the condition of the water in our body. What does this mean? It means that water is the key in providing our body with what it needs to strengthen its immune system, to better process nutrients, to maintain electrochemical balance, and to protect the cells from damage by absorbing and flushing out toxins and wastes before they accumulate and destroy them.

The mystery of understanding disease, therefore, begins basically with knowing what our body needs throughout its lifetime to maintain a consistent balance. It requires investigation; not only what factors and conditions result in disease, but also how the body reacts to hosting various destructive organisms. We also need to know what known methods can be utilized in seeking the best preventive and maintenance measures available. It also requires understanding the demands placed upon our body from sudden changes, without the body having time to adapt and allow the natural immune system to help re-establish its balance.

Health and aging depend on the quality, content and structure of the water in our body. Since our body is 70% water, a cell is 70% water, and the DNA in the cell is 70% water, then the water we put into our body must be significant in how we age and how well our body can maintain a stable internal environment to keep disease-producing influences from destroying it.

Symptoms of the body's deterioration begin to appear when the body loses 5% of its total water volume. In a healthy, normal adult, this is seen as fatigue and general discomfort. Although an adult can survive with a 5% water volume loss, this amount can be dehydrating to an infant. In an elderly person, a 5% water loss may not be fatal, but the body chemistry becomes abnormal, especially if the percent of electrolytes is overbalanced with sodium. If this percent decrease in water volume continues, the body will break down. Symptoms seen in aging, such as fever, nausea, dizziness and even disorientation will become standard. Continuous water loss over time will speed up aging, as well as the disease process itself. Not maintaining the required water volume in the body will result in continuous and apparent destruction. The body will die in less than a week without the minimum amount of water to sustain itself.

All body functions take place in water, interacting with cells. Because water is an excellent solvent, assimilation of vital nutrients and proteins take place through absorption. Water then carries those substances throughout the body to vitalize and replenish cells, and protect their exterior walls. This allows such functions as metabolism, digestion, blood flow and cellular reproduction to remain normal. However, all of these functions can be seriously disrupted when the body's water is contaminated. Instead of being a stabilizing force, water can add to the disturbance of these functions.

Studying water as long as I have has led me to identify a progression of the disease process in our body. I call this the "cycle of disease," because I have seen a direct progression of deterioration in the body as it becomes susceptible to disease. It begins with water that is contaminated with toxins and chemicals that can't be neutralized and as a result, change the chemistry of body fluids.

As contamination continues in our body, its water becomes acidic. This sets up a condition for oxygenation, which disrupts cell stability by stealing electrons. As a result, free radicals form and destroy cells. Now the body is in a state of disease. In the process of defending the body from mass destruction, the immune system is weakened. In the process of recovery, over-medication results in further weakening the immune system. This is compounded by the autoimmune system response, which attacks and destroys healthy cells. We can now see a domino effect take place, as cells continue to be invaded and destroyed.

Our natural immune system needs time to respond and help the internal environment of the body to adapt to radical changes. In the past, our body had time to build defenses to protect itself. However, today we face the constant threat of new toxins and organisms produced in the environment, which invade our body as the immune system struggles to build its new line of defense. During this process, the human organism remains vulnerable.

Much of the power of the immune system is located in the blood, where it provides protection from foreign pathogens. Antibodies in the blood locate unfamiliar molecules attached to organisms in the body and attack them. Blood is composed of 90% water. When the water, which composes most of the blood is contaminated, the antibodies become disabled and are not effective in destroying toxic invaders. Knowing the importance of water and providing our body with the best water possible can give us an edge in protecting our body.

Some Important Facts about the Body's Natural Healing Process

The body has the natural ability to repair and heal itself. This is seen in every species of life. However, we have turned away from this and rely on "modern medical miracles" to provide a quick fix for recovery from illness.

Healing requires energy. The body is a molecular structure, composed of 60 trillion cells. Cells are produced and maintain their structure and function based on energy. The production of energy is sustained by the stability of the electrons of the cell. Lost electrons create a disruption in the cell's energy supply. Metabolism is disturbed and the cell dies.

The body's magnetic wave-form must be smooth and even in order for the body to return or remain in balance. Electromagnetic waves can be measured with instruments such as EEG and EKG. Disturbance in magnetic rhythm is seen in erratic magnetic wave patterns shown by these instruments.

Healing depends on blood circulation to bring energy, oxygen and nutrients to a distressed area of the body. This requires a continuous rate of flow and a balanced pH, between 7.35 and 7.45. It also depends on the blood's ability to prevent plaque from forming on arterial walls because of a high viscosity or resistance.





Usually we have to return our body to a state of health in three stages:

Detoxification
Re-balancing
Provide it with protective mechanisms against disease and unnatural aging.

During this period, it is essential that we increase water consumption in order to increase intracellular hydration. However, in order for the healing process to become activated, two conditions must be present. First, the body's water must be capable of providing an internal environment to allow the body to remain in balance. And second, there must be a magnetic influence to allow the water to activate the body's energy and physiology.

The majority of medical scientists follow a common principle regarding disease. Health and disease are basically determined by states of order and disorder in our body. Disease is a disturbance of molecular structure, which results in a breakdown of cells and the bio-electrochemical processes of various systems, as well as the human organism as a whole. A natural state of order in our body is required and is directly related to a stable, magnetic waveform, which helps produce, as well as distribute energy throughout the body. This waveform is necessary to keep the body in balance.

Whenever the body is disrupted by internal or external destructive influences, its magnetic waveform becomes erratic. In order for the body to return to balance, a stable magnetic wave must be restored. When this happens, the natural healing responses can effectively make a correction.

The body's magnetism stimulates the biochemistry needed for the body's communication systems and for natural healing to take place. Healing begins and ends in the core of every cell. Because water composes most of the body, it is the medium for allowing magnetization to activate this healing process.

Minerals that respond to and activate magnetization in the body have been depleted from our soil and drinking water sources. These minerals must be constantly replaced for our body to maintain its ability to remain stable and benefit from its magnetic energy. The body has a magnetic blue print and the source and the level of magnetism affects the level of energy. Its electrochemical plant in every cell programs all activity that takes place in the body.

Magnetism is a dominating factor in all human functions. As geomagnetism holds the earth and all life in balance, so is magnetism necessary for the human body to remain in balance. Since water is the basis of life, how it is influenced by magnetism determines how effective it is in regulating all bodily functions.

Water that is naturally magnetized can communicate and transfer information from one molecule to another and, therefore, from one system or organ to another. This is made possible by the orderly arrangement of its water molecules, traveling through the body, as they are kept aligned by magnetization. Without active magnetization in each molecule, water will not remain in an orderly structure after each impulse. Messages between cells will become distorted and there will be no steady magnetic frequency.

How Does Naturally Magnetized Water Work in Our Body?

The Japanese symbol for "Perfect Harmony or Balance" is Nariwa. This describes what we call homeostasis, the body in balance. It seemed like the right word to describe what I have found out about how important the water in our body is to bring it into a state of harmony or balance. That is why I named a naturally magnetized water I discovered in an ancient magnetic mountain in Japan, Nariwa.

Ever since I discovered Nariwa naturally magnetized water in Japan, which was being used by physicians to treat serious, life threatening diseases, and began experimenting with it, I have found changes in the health status of patients whom I have studied. As a medical researcher, I have struggled for many years asking questions on the many causes of the body's deterioration and susceptibility to disease, especially diseases associated with aging. I have conducted several investigations, including controlled clinical studies and individual case studies. The results of these investigations revealed many answers to my questions.

I have exposed this water to stringent laboratory testing for safety, content and structure. I have had Darkfield microscopy done that showed its unique molecular structure, as well as its ability to influence changes in blood cells of diseased patients. The related scientific support for what this water does in the body offers a solid rationale for its use as a healing and preventive substance.

As a result of my extensive research and experimentation with naturally magnetized water, I can report four major findings:

1. The quality, content and structure of the water in our body is directly related to how well the body maintains its ability to control and prevent influences that cause it to deteriorate and become susceptible to disease.

2. Magnetization will change the structure of water molecules. Regular drinking water from our faucets or in commercial bottled water is formed in large molecular clusters (between 50 to 60). Magnetization in water will organize molecules into small clusters (3 to 5) and keep them aligned during movement and absorption. This will stabilize the structure and composition of cells.

3. If elements contained in water are magnetized, they can attract and absorb toxins and other contaminated substances from cells. These can then be flushed out before they can accumulate and become destructive.

4. Because of our diet and the condition of standard drinking water, the water in our body becomes acidic. This lowers the pH in body fluids and can change blood pH stability. As a result, a condition known as acidosis can be created over time, which results in disease. Naturally magnetized water contains a higher alkaline pH, which can help neutralize acidity in body fluids.

When a molecule of a different substance is dissolved and absorbed in water, a major structural change takes place with a completely new molecular structure. Under the effect of magnetized water, the new structure will break and change, influenced by the "magnetic signature" of the water. Because of the magnetic influence in the water molecules, the new molecule will also remain stable.

This is important regarding the molecular structure of vitamin and mineral supplements. Because the molecules are too large to be completely broken down and absorbed by the cells in water that is not bio-magnetically activated, they are mostly flushed out of the system before they can enter the cell membrane and properly nourish the cells. However, naturally magnetized water can break down vitamins and minerals into smaller molecular clusters, absorb them easily and transport them into the cells.

Studies Conducted on Naturally Magnetized Water

Several controlled clinical studies, as well as individual longitudinal case studies, have been conducted over the past five years on how this water changes the way the body resists and recovers from health problems. These studies have consistently reported improvements. Findings indicate that study subjects exposed to this water over an average of two months showed an increase in kidney function. This was seen in a study that reported cell detoxification, increased cell hydration and lower pH in body fluids after three months.

A major study, which I conducted, showed that over time, naturally magnetized water can stabilize harmful bacteria in intestinal flora. Improvements have been documented with patients suffering from hypertension, diabetes, asthma, psoriasis, arthritis, colitis, and multiple sclerosis.

A study was conducted using Darkfield microscopy to film blood samples of patients with long-term chronic disease. After two months, changes in blood cell structure and composition were noticeable, which substantiated improvements measured with clinical instruments. This study has been expanded to test if improvements remain or are lost after a withdrawal period from drinking this water, and if improvements will return after resuming this water.

Four years ago, a double-blind study was conducted with Alzheimer's residents at an assisted living facility on the effect of this naturally magnetized water on delaying memory loss. Significant differences were reported between groups. Subjects were also given pre- and post-PET scans. Subjects in the Experimental Group (using naturally magnetized water) showed greater glucose metabolism and oxygen flow in the brain.

After preliminary investigations discovering that persons with Attention Deficit Disorder show a high correlation with dehydration, this water was used with a large study population of ADD subjects. This study is not completed, but preliminary testing after two months report that the intracellular fluid volume has increased.

Over fifty individual longitudinal case studies reported noticeable changes in health status of patients suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, colitis, diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis, migraine and several other aging-related disorders. A most remarkable case was a woman who had been suffering from psoriasis arthritis for over twenty years. She had been given aggressive treatments, including radiation and high levels of cortisone. She presented with lesions throughout her body and limited movement in joints. She had to quit her job and could not even handle daily living tasks. After three months of drinking this magnetized water, her lesions disappeared and her range of motion returned. *

These studies and cases are all documented are all available by contacting the Ohno Institute at 440-953-9035, or on our web site: www.ohnoinstitute.org .

The Ohno Institute is a non-profit, research and education center. Because we are dedicated to learning more about how naturally magnetized water works to help with recovery and prevention of health problems, we encourage any health professional to join us in conducting studies. We will provide this water without charge. All we ask is that data be collected on responses by study subjects after a trial period. *





About the Authors
Yoshitaka Ohno, M.D., Ph.D., Founder and President of Ohno Institute on Water and Health, Cleveland, Ohio.

Dr. Ohno is a native of Osaka, Japan, where he received his education and training in medicine and neuropathology. Early in his medical career, he began searching for ways to stop the suffering of his patients with diseases that couldn't be treated successfully by standard medicine and had to be managed with multiple drugs. He began to realize that the side effects of these drugs were creating serious chronic problems, as well as increasing the body's deterioration. After extensive study, he because convinced that the condition of the body's water was directly related to the state of the body's health.

While continuing his studies, he found that the Japanese medical community was not placing much emphasis on chronic diseases found commonly among the aging population. After receiving his Ph.D. in pathology, he decided to enter the US and accept a position at AMC Hospital in Denver, Colorado, where he could continue his research in geriatric pathology, including MRI studies on the relationship of water and cellular degeneration. His work led him to investigate the neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease. As a result of his work, he received the Community Leadership Award from the Colorado Alzheimer's Association in 1987 and the Humanitarian Award from the Alzheimer's Disease International in 1993. After discovering a naturally magnetized water in Japan that was being used by physicians to treat patients, Dr. Ohno became convinced that this water could be a breakthrough in dealing with diseases that currently cannot be cured.

Howard Reminick, Ph.D., Vice President of the Ohno Institute

Dr. Reminick was a health educator, administrator and program developer before joining the Ohno Institute. His specialty was medical rehabilitation, where he planned and developed several rehabilitation units in hospitals and out-patient facilities. He created an interdisciplinary model for rehabilitation, which became the model for the State of Ohio Worker's Compensation Rehabilitation Division. In 1977, he was appointed as state delegate to the White House Conference on Disabilities. Since 1995, he has worked with Dr. Ohno to develop and promote studies on health problems associated with aging. Because of his strong background in research, he was brought to the Ohno Institute to lead the team in research and development of the naturally magnetized water discovered in Japan by Dr. Yoshitaka Ohno.

The Living Waters of Japan's Ancient Magnetic Mountain

Throughout the history of religions and legends, two things are always held sacred - mountain and water.

The mountain is home to the gods of mythology, and where Abraham, Moses and Mohammed sought and found God. 
Water has purified and healed. It is the eternal symbol of life. 

Destiny Leads Me to a Tofu Restaurant in Kyoto And My Search is Over

  On a cold day one year after I returned to Japan, I decided to visit Kyoto.  Kyoto is one of the most popular Japanese tourist attractions.  It was the home of ancient Emperors and is still one of the most beautiful cities in the world.  I went to Kyoto for no particular reason, other than to relax and enjoy.

  The cold wind had set in under my skin, and hot tea and tofu was what I needed to warm up. Being unfamiliar with Kyoto, I asked the taxi driver, " I am from Osaka and have just arrived. Can you take me to a restaurant that has the best tofu?"

"I know just the place! " he said.

  As we were driving along I expected him to drive me to an expensive restaurant in one of the more exclusive parts of Kyoto.  But when he stopped in front a small building that resembles a run down house rather than a good restaurant, I asked him if he had misunderstood my request.  I had an unpleasant feeling when I looked at the old structure.  I saw in the backseat, hesitating to get out of the taxicab. 

 "Here we are! This is the restaurant you wanted !" the cab driver said.

  "Are you sure they have good tofu here? This doesn't look very promising to me!"

 "You said you wanted good tofu and this is by far the best tofu in all of Kyoto, and maybe all of Japan!  Every taxi driver knows about this place and they would have brought you here as well.  I know this place is not fancy, but if you really want the 'best' tofu, I have brought you to the right place." 

"What makes the tofu so special here?  What makes it different from the other good restaurants in Kyoto?"  I asked.

"I have no idea. I just know it is the best.  Ask anyone in Kyoto.  But if you prefer, I can take you to another restaurant if that makes you feel more comfortable," he offered. 

"No, you don't have to take me to another place.  You have my curiosity now by your high recommendation , and I would very much like to try the tofu here and taste the 'best' tofu in Kyoto!" 

I paid the cab driver and went into the small restaurant. i was very surprised to see that the place was packed. I would have an hour wait before I was seated.  After the waitress guided me to my table, I scanned the menu she has given me.  There was nothing special about the small menu.  Everything on the menu was tofu cooked in various ways. I ordered some tofu and waited patiently for my food. 

  When I looked at the tofu on my plate I immediately noticed that the tofu looked shiny and smooth like a silk cloth.  I had never seen such a good-looking tofu before.  I hesitated for a moment before I put the first bite into my mouth. From the looks of this tofu,perhaps the cab driver knew what he was talking about!  But the proof would be in the taste. I closed my eyes and concentrated on mmy first bite.

  "Wonderful" I shouted. "Tis is wonderful tofu!"

  I looked around the restaurant to see if anyone was looking at me and thinking I was crazy.  I found myself yelling again with delight after my first mouthful of the most delicious taste I had ever experienced . i could not believe the silky texture and the deliciously smooth taste.  I was actually making a spectacle of myself as I kept announcing to everyone how delighted I was to taste this wonderful dish!

  My waitress had come back to my table to make sure everything was all right.
 "Excuse me, sir, is everything all right with your order?"

"Yes! Yes! This is the most delicious tofu I have ever tasted!  I need to talk to the owner of the restaurant !  Please tell him I would like to see him now!"

"Yes sir." The waitress looked a little bewildered, but left the room to find the owner. In a few moments a concerned looking man approached my table.
"Yes, I am the owner of this restaurant.  Is there a problem here?  Are you displeased with your order?" he asked.

  "No! No! There is not a problem with my food! I wanted to tell you that I have never had such a delicious tofu in all my life!  I have never seen such a beautiful texture, so silky and so smooth!  Your tofu was recommended to  me because it was the  best, but I had no idea that your tofu would be this delicious! I am delighted with the taste and I wanted to ask you how you make this tofu so special.  I know there are only a few ingredients in tofu and I'm trying to figure out what you do to make it so different from the tofu I have eaten before!"

I was obviously very excited and it was difficult for me to hold back my enthusiasm.  The restaurant owner looked at me cautiously. he did not answer me immediately because he was looking me over and no doubt wondering if there was something wrong with me.  I asked him if he could take a few minutes and sit down with me so I could explain to him who I was and why I was so interested in his tofu.  Even though the restaurant was  very busy, he kindly accepted my request and he sat down to listen.

  After introducing myself and explaining why I was so curious about the tofu, he relaxed and asked me to calm down. He said," Dr. Ohno, I see you are excited, but please calm down so I can answer your questions!  It is the water, a very special water that has made this tofu so good.  Tofu consists of 90% water ; it is not a solid substance even though many people think of it as being solid.  because the water we use is a special water with very fine qualities, our tofu is exceptional to taste!  This is not only true for tofu, but also for vegetables and fruits or even fish and meat. Anything that has water in it tastes better when the quality of the water is pure!"

"Both the ingredients and the water source for the tofu are from japan. The soy is grown with this water to make the tofu. This is why this tofu is so delicious and different!"

My head was spinning with excitement and my heart was pounding as he talked about a special water that was so pure.
"Where do you purchase this water?  Where does it come from ? This is very important that I know!" 

Again my excitement cause him to ask me to calm down. But I couldn't ; I know in my heart that I had been guided to this restaurant that day to find this water.  I was fond of tofu, but never before had I wanted tofu so much that I would ask a cab driver to recommend a good tofu restaurant to me! It seems as though I had been gently guided by some invisible force to have a craving for tofu that day so I would come here to learn about this special water.  This would be too much of a coincidence for this water no to be the water I had been searching for.  My excitement could not be contained. 

  "Dr. Ohno! Please , calm down! After  you finish your meal, we can sit somewhere quietly and I can give you more information about where this water comes from!"

  After I finished my tofu I joined him at a quiet area in the back. The waitress brought us both some tea and he proceeded to explain to me the history of this water. 

" I discovered this water through my uncle.  My uncle had been a cigarette smoker and he was suffering from lung cancer. When he was diagnosed with lung cancer, the doctor said that the only alternative he could recommend was chemotherapy. So my uncle started with chemo treatments , but the side effects were so strong that he could not bear it.  He finally asked his doctor to stop the chemotherapy.  Hos doctor told him that if he stopped the treatments, he would have no chance of surviving.  But my uncle was a stubborn man and he did not want to continue with the treatment any longer.  So finally the doctor agreed to discharge my uncle from the hospital."

  "After he left the hospital his symptoms became worse.  he had to do something to help himself, so he turned to Oriental medicine. One day a friend advised him to visit a doctor who treated end-stage cancer patients. It seemed this doctor gave his patients a special water.  After drinking the water for a period of time, their cancer would go into remission.  His friend gave him the name of the doctor and told him the hospital where he was practicing."

  "So, with nothing to lose, my uncle went to the hospital to find this doctor.  Soon after  meeting with the doctor, he was given this water. In a short time, his condition dramatically improved! His appetite, which had all but vanished , was back once again.  My uncle was able to eat and started to gain weight. The tumors on his lung began to shrink, until eventually they were gone!" 

  " I know this is a difficult story to believe, but it is true! At first it was very difficult for me to believe that my uncle was cured by drinking water! If it had not been that this happened to my own uncle, who I know very well and witnessed his healing, I know I would not trust someone who would tell me such a far-fetched story.  Six months after my uncle started drinking the water his lung cancer was in remission! Amazingly,Dr. Ohno, this is a true story."

  " Tell me, Dr. Ohno, what do you think about this story?"

 I told him that I believed what he told me was possible and I trusted that this water could have special properties that aided in the healing of his uncle's lung cancer.  He was happy to see that I believed his story.  He went on to say, "I have tried to explain this story to many of my friends, and even though they know me very well, they find it difficult to believe me.  In order to further prove this to myself, I decided to drink this water, because I had hypertension and diabetes.  I thought that if the water could help my uncle with lung cancer, perhaps it could help with my health problem as well.  Every day, I had to take medication  for my high blood pressure, and insulin for my diabetes. Shortly after I started to drink this magnetized water, my blood pressure dropped from 180/120 to 120/78 !  My glucose level dropped from 300 to where it is now at 120 ! I will always drink a bottle of this water every day to maintain my health."

  " I have also discovered that I experience more energy that I did before ! It used to be difficult for me to get up in the morning because I was always so tired.  Now, even if I go to bed after midnight, I wake up in the morning between 5-6 AM feeling refreshed. 

After taking a break and sipping some  more tea, the restaurant owner continued with his story.

 "After my uncle and I had such a good experience with this water, I thought of the idea of using this water for cooking in my restaurant. I knew that because tofu was made up of 90% water, that the purity of the water would make a big difference in the taste and the quality of the tofu.  So, I started using the water in my restaurant and I never said anything to anyone about it.  But within a short period of time, I had a great increase in business. People from all over have come to taste our tofu!"

His story intrigued me and I wanted to learn more about the water. I also wanted to meet the doctor who was administering the water to his cancer patients.  I asked him, " Where can I go to meet this doctor and find out more about this special water?"

  "The doctor you want to talk to is at Shibata Hospital in Okayama. His name is Dr. Jinro Itami. I can give you directions how to get there."

Dr. Itami, Shibata Hospital, Okayama, Japan.

  After I returned home, I scheduled an appointment to see Dr. Itami.  I made the three-hour trip from Osaka to Okayama and the Shibata Hospital.  Even though the hospital looked humble and small, I felt a special energy from the building and from the staff when I walked inside.  I waited for 10 minutes and Dr. Itami, a man about 50 years old ( Year 2000), came over and introduced himself. His voice was soft and caring, and his eyes were kind and compassionate. I felt immediately that I could trust him. And this proved to be true.  He was generous with his time during that first visit, as he took time out of his busy schedule from seeing his patients.

  "Welcome, Dr. Ohno!  Welcome to Shibata Hospital ! I am so glad to meet you!  I have been looking forward to meeting you, especially after our conversation about the water over the phone. There aren't many doctors who understand the importance of water and how water affects our body!"

I was impressed with Dr. Itami and his humility from our first conversation. When he discussed his patients and how they have been healed, he never indicated to me that he was taking the credit. he always gave the credit to the water.  He had said, " I am not curing the patients, it is the water that is making the difference. I am only giving them the water."

  Now that I had met him in person, I was able to confirm that he was indeed a sweet and modest man.  His attitude was very different from the typical Japanese doctors I was used to associating with, who were generally arrogant.  The more I talked with him, the more I liked him.  he was a true humanitarian and meeting him inspired me.  I was now even more excited about discussing the water with him. 

  "Please tell me about this special water, Dr. Itami. How long have you been using it with your patients?"

"I have been using the water with end-stage cancer patients now for 10 years (i.e.since 1990) , Dr.Ohno. I have kept records since I started giving water to my cancer patients!"

  "What can you tell me about your findings?"

""Most of the patients visit me at this hospital after they have moved into the end stages of cancer.  Most of these patients have already gone through radiation, surgery, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. many patients have been to several doctors, who offered them new 'cures' for cancer. Most of these patients have lost trust in their doctors because none of them seemed to improve.  Their hopes have been dimmed, and they are scared of facing death.  They are looking for a miracle that can give them hope and a chance to live.  Even though I do not claim to work miracles, I believe I have given many of my patients hope in helping them to deal with their cancer.  You see, Dr. Ohno, my mission in medicine is to give people hope. Even if I am  not able to cure them of their cancer, at least I want to give them hope."

  "Years ago I heard about a mountain that was being mined. The miners who worked there drank the water that came out of the mountain. Many of these miners were suffering from health problem; such as arthritis, hypertension, diabetes, kidney stones, to name a few.  After drinking this water over a period of time, they discovered that their health improved and some of their symptoms  had disappeared altogether.  When I heard  about this from some of the miners, i began to wonder if there would be benefits fro this water for my cancer patients. Even though I was skeptical, I decided it was at least worth trying."

  "I knew that my patients would try anything to cure their cancer.  You know the saying ; A drowning man will reach  for a straw. In other words, a dying man will try anything that will help him live. "

  Dr. Itami invited me to take a stroll with him to visit some of his patients.  One of the first patients Dr. Itami pointed out was a young man, 42 years old.  he had just been admitted into the hospital with liver cancer. Dr. Itami told me, "This man was told that he has only three months to live.  He is in the end-stages of liver cancer and the cancer has metastasized to his major organs. His doctor told him that there was nothing they could do to help him, and he should go to hospice.  His wife had heard from a  friend about our work here and how the water was helping to cure cancer in some patients." 

I looked at the man with his belly swollen like a sumo wrestler.  he was dreadfully thin and he looked very tired. I reached out my hand to shake his as I introduced myself, I asked him , "How are you feeling?"

 The patient said, " I have had no appetite even though my abdomen is growing larger from the swelling every day. But I have not given up because many of my friends have told me about Dr. Itami and his special water.  I am hoping that this water will cure my liver cancer.  This is my last chance.  I know I can trust you, Dr. Itami, because I have been told that  you are a true caring and compassionate person. I believe that you can help me!" 

Dr. Itami listened and looked down , smiling shyly. As we walked away, he explained to me , "I will start giving the water to him right away.  I hope that the water will give him new hope . But all I can do is my best and allow the water to work in his body.  The rest is up to God." 

As we continued to walk through the hospital ward, many patients smiled and waved to Dr. Itami. One patient in particular called him over, " Dr. Itami! Thank you so much for helping me! You have given me so much hope. I have never had another doctor care for me in the way you do.  I am so thankful that I came here so you could help me.  Even though I may die here, Dr. Itami, I will never regret it because I found a doctor I could trust!" 

I watched Dr. Itami as many patients sang his praises. Never once did he show an attitude of conceit.  He smiled to every patient, and he made everyone feel at ease.  I witnessed his humanitarian behavior.  He was really a special and unusual doctor.  he was not caught up in ego and greed. Rather, he was fueled by his mission to give hope to patients, who had nothing left to turn to but hope and prayer.

Something I felt was amazing with these patients.  I could understand how the woman who had been here for awhile talked about trusting Dr. Itami. But the liver cancer patient who had just been admitted to the hospital already trusted Dr. Itami. I wondered how it was that he was able to gain the trust of this patient so quickly, even before giving the patient any kind of care.

I remembered  when my mother had her breast cancer operation. i recalled how she told me that she trusted my brother Dr. Yoshioki because there was a special spiritual energy that worked between them.  I believed in this energy and knew that it was imperative for the healing process to be successful. 

" Dr. Itami, how do you go about gaining the complete trust of your patients? You seem to have a gift for gaining a patient's trust. How are you able to do this?"

"Dr. Ohno, when my patients come here, I am often times their very lasy hope. usually they have already seen several doctors and have gone through taking several different kinds of drugs and therapies.  Nothing has worked for them or they would not be here.  Most of these patients have lost their trust in doctors and the medical profession.  They see their lives slipping helpless away. When they first are admitted to the hospital, they do not know that i am any different from other doctors. because they need to gain hope and trust before they can begin to get better, I help them by the way I treat them." 

"The first thing I do is ask the patient to relax.  I acknowledge that I know they are scared and I talk with them in a caring way. I spend the first three days getting to know them as a person.  Iask them questions about their life, their family, what they do for a living, or I ask them to share with me what they want me to know about them.  It's not until after the third day that I begin to discuss their medical history with them.  By the time I begin to treat them medically, we have developed a relationship that is based upon the deepest human factors of trust and faith.  I continue to remind them to relax and I always listen to their fears and concerns.  Quickly, I am able to give the patient hope and in return, they are able to give me their trust. Both must work together, Dr. Ohno, for healing to occur."

From everything I was experiencing from talking with him and watching him with his patients, I truly liked and respected Dr. Itami.  He was everything I felt he was from my first impression. He was kind and compassionate; a true humanitarian doctor. I was very impressed with him. When we returned to his office, I asked him, "Dr. Itami, what is it about this water that makes it so special?"

"I'm not sure why the water works on diseases, but I do know the history of this water. Almost a billion years ago, there was an undersea volcano that erupted in this area.  When the volcano erupted it rose up out of the ocean and became a mountain. Following the volcano eruption there was a huge meteorite shower in this same area. The magnetite in the meteorites bonded with the limestone and granite of the mountain. This created a permanent magnetic mountain. 
"As water flows into the mountain, it is magnetized with the mountain's magnetic field. because of its magnetism, the water is able to attract 74 minerals that are in the mountain.  Some of these minerals are calcium, magnesium, selenium, and potassium, gold, silver, iron. What is equally important about this mineral water is the ionic organization of its structure.  The mineral water has an organized ionization that is unique. When this water is inside our bodies, it helps to create a healthy environment."  I was in complete agreement with Dr. Itami because he confirmed everything I knew about water and magnetism. 

Magnetised Water

Keep magnets away from people who are wearing pacemakers or other medical devices. 
Keep a minimum of 3 feet away from CRT monitors, computers and tv's.

Experimental study and clinical observation have demonstrated that there are no side effects from drinking magnetized water over a long period of time.

However, Magnetically treated water is commonly used to aid digestion, better absorption of nutrients, prevention of kidney and gallbladder stones. Many users report that drinking magnetically treated water increases the effectiveness of other magnetic therapy.
“Wonder Water”, so named by Drs. Gerbvenschikow, Shetsov and Tovstoles, specialists at the Military Academy in St. Petersburg, is used to treat patients with ailments ranging from kidney and gallbladder stones to digestive and urinary problems. Drinking magnetically treated water should be part of your daily health maintenance program.
Disclaimer>>>Here's an exclusive copy (part) of a private interview between Louise Winters, the chairperson of the Magnetic Therapy Council, and Dee Parsons, a veteran pain nurse specialist and magnetic therapist.

Louise: Is there anything else that users can do to ensure that they get the best possible benefits from their magnets?

Dee: One of the quickest and simplest ways to get the best benefits from magnetic therapy is to treat the body from the outside in and inside out at the same time. I know that this nay sound complicated but it's actually very simple to do.

You treat the body from outside in by wearing magnetic products directly over the area of pain as we discussed earlier. You then, in-conjunction with wearing magnets on the body, drink magnetic water which treats the body from the inside out.

Louise: I'm sorry to interrupt Dee, but can you please explain just what magnetic water is and what it does?

Dee: Yes, I was coming to that, most people find it a bit strange when I start talking about magnetic water so I will try to explain what it is without being too technical. 

All water in its natural state (from rivers, streams, springs that has not been treated by chemicals) is naturally magnetized. This is because the Earth itself is a gigantic magnet (gravity is a magnetic field) with a north and a south pole. All water before it is treated holds a magnetically charged by the earths magnetic field.

Magnetic water has several very beneficial properties: it aids absorption of nutrients from our food, it aids digestion, it de-toxifies the blood, it regulates hormone levels particularly insulin, serotonin, melatonin and endorphin, it lowers high blood pressure and it increases the strength of the magnetic field at the point of pain, plus it also speeds up the healing process by increasing the absorption rate of the magnetic field by up to an amazing 6-10 times. 

The water that comes out of the tap has been chemically treated and transported in lead pipes; this destroys the naturally occurring magnetization (also called ionization) in the water. 

Just 4 glasses a day is enough to see quite dramatic differences in a persons pain levels, but it can't be used alone it must be used in-conjunction with magnets directly over the area of pain.

I personally feel that everyone, whether they have pain or not, should drink magnetic water. It's how nature intended us to drink it and there are a wealth of health benefits to be had from drinking it. It cant harm you and does not interfere with any medications or treatments and it does not alter your body in anyway.

Louise: Can people use too many magnets?

Dee: I get asked this question a lot, it is a very common misconception. The magnetic therapy field created from a medical magnet cant harm the body. There is an electromagnetic current in all living things, including humans, it is essential for cellular function. The magnetic field that flows from magnetic therapy devices is the same as the current that occurs naturally in our body.

As an example, an MRI (magnetic resonance imager) scanner used in hospitals for diagnosis purposes emits a magnetic field of around 450,000 gauss, (a medical magnet is usually a maximum of 3,000 gauss). People enter the scanner and have 450,000 gauss of magnetism forced through their body with absolutely no harmful effects.

ABOUT MAGNETIZED WATER

Magnetic therapy is a natural way to treat ailments in both humans and animals. It is 100% safe, drug free and has no unwanted side effects. Therapeutic Magnets alleviate pain, increase blood circulation and speed up the healing process by reducing inflammation in the body. Small high strength healing magnets are placed on the body close to the point of pain.

They can be applied in the forms of magnetic straps/ wraps, pillows, jewelry, mattress covers and water.It works well as a therapy alone or in-conjunction with both natural and conventional therapies.

Magnetic therapy is not new. It has been around since 2000 BC and has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Cleopatra is reported to have slept on magnets to keep herself youthful. Modern day celebrity devotees include Bill Clinton, Cherie Blair and Anthony Hopkins.

The western world has been slow to pick up on the powerful healing force of magnets and it wasn't until the early 1900's that magnets first began to be used in the UK. It is now used worldwide to treat the symptoms of many common ailments.The following biological and therapeutic functions of magnetic water have already been identified and verified by scientific experiment:

* Magnetic Water can prevent damage to the eudemonist (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 consistently (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.

* Magnetic Water has been found to seemingly increase the content of the body's immunoglobulin and enhance the psychologist (the action or process of lacteous [white blood cells] attacking bacteria) of the liver, spleen and blood vessels eudemonist. This is of considerable benefit to the cellular immune system.

* The effects of magnetize water  

* 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, hyper tension (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.

*These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
This is not a medical device and cannot be relied on to supply medical benefits and is not a substitute for proper medical care.


As we drink it, and the hair color restoration is the first sign of this happening. A second sign is that my fingernails are growing faster and stronger and my skin seems to be getting smother and softer, in spots, with less skin tags...Read the story

The Effects of Magnetic Water
By John V. Milewski


December 21 2003

About 4 months ago I started drinking what I call magnetic water as a means of energizing my body. After a month or so an unusual effect started to show up.

It first showed up on a friend of mine called Bob S. I introduced him to the methods of making magnetic water. He took it up and in his experimentation he went a little further than I did. He was processing his water for about 5 days and drinking 3 cups a day, while I was only processing it for 2 to 3 days. He reported to me that his hair was turning dark, especially in the back of his head near the neck line. As time went on, this effect spread upward and more toward the front. Now after about 4 months his hair is about 95% dark in the back and about 80%, and in the sides and front and his beard about 50% dark.


At that time, which was about 3 months ago, I started watching my own hair. Before I started drinking what I call "magnetic water" my head hair was about 90% gray, and the hair on my beard and mustache was 100% gray. I did not know about the effect of this energized water hair so I was not watching it for the first few months. So when I first noticed it the hair on the back of my head had already turned about 30% dark; now after about 4 to 5 months my hair on the sides, back and top is about 60% turned. My mustache is about 50% turned dark while the beard is still pure white-gray.

As a result of these effects I decided to upgrade my processing facility and make it possible for me to have 5 day water. Five day water is defined as water that remains in the magnetic activation apparatus for a minimum of 5 days. Previous to that I was only using 2 to 3 day water. Now we drink a minimum of 3 cups of this water a day and probably 5 to 6 cups.

What is very unusual about these changes is that the whole hair changes at once from gray to black. It does not start at the roots and grow out but the whole length of the hair turns at once. You may have heard of stories about a person who experienced a terrible shock in their life and their hair turned white over night, well I believe that this magnetic water has the reverse effect, but at a much smaller amount and it takes months to see the effect but the positive effect is there and is real.

The apparatus for making this water is very simple. It consists of an empty new one gallon, in paint can, in which is placed an empty one liter soda bottle that has the top cut off at the level where it starts to get narrower. In the space between the inner wall of the paint can and the empty one liter container, magnetite is poured. This makes a cylinder of powdered magnetite about one and one half inches thick surrounding the one liter size hole in the center. Into this hole is placed a standard bottle of store bought spring water that is about 710 ml size (that's a 3 cup volume of water). It fits in very nicely.

You make up a minimum of five of these units. Take one bottle out every day and drink the water.

What I think is happening is that the magnetite which is a strong magnetic suscepter is concentrating the earth's magnetic fields into it's cylindrical shape and the shape effect, in turn, sets up a magnetic spiral vortex in the core of the cylinder in which the water is stored. This in turn activates the water with the magnetic energy.

I think this is the activating force for change in our bodies toward regeneration, as we drink it, and the hair color restoration is the first sign of this happening. A second sign is that my fingernails are growing faster and stronger and my skin seems to be getting smother and softer, in spots, with less skin tags.

Bob S had to go to the dentist to have two molars crowned. He had been drinking the water for about two months before going to the dentist. The dentist told him that he was going to have to do two root canals at $475.00 each before he could do the crowns. When the dentist removed the old fillings he was surprised because he said that where the root was supposed to be, the molars had calcified! He couldn't believe it! He said he had never seen anything like it. Bob S was really happy because he saved $950.00!

Water Magnets & HemoTherapy & Magnetic Water & Degenerative Disease

Who bestow water on our planet? 

Water Magnets & HemoTherapy
In the many popular books and websites that discuss magnet therapy, references to Magnetized Water tend to be fleeting. Magnetized Water is not even mentioned in a recent otherwise rather thorough review of magnet therapy (Vallbona, C. and T. Richards (1999), “Evolution of Magnetic Therapy from Alternative to Traditional Medicine,” Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America 10:3:Aug:729-54). Magnetized Water’s clinical trial record is exceedingly scanty. Magnetized Water has been used as a treatment of urinary calculi (Zhang, Y.S. and H.W. Wu (1987), “Der Einfluss von magnetischem Wasser auf Harnsteine—eine experimentelle und klinische Studie,” Zeitschrift für Urologie und Nephrologie 80:9:517-23) and, in conjunction with surface magnets, as a treatment of ascariasis in children (Wu, J. (1989), “Further Observations on the Therapeutic Effect of Magnets and Magnetized Water against Ascariasis in Children-Analysis of 114 Cases,” Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 9:2:111-2). Millions of people worldwide drink magnetized or otherwise energized “healing water” daily as a kind of general prophylaxis, though there does not seem to be any clinical evidence pro or con regarding its validity. Magnetization of water is also playing a proven, ever-growing role in industry as a means of reducing scale and microbial infiltration.

In a broader sense, there has been an increasing appreciation of the role that water plays in living systems. The specific finding that gave the impetus to the hypothesis that Magnetized Water is in fact an effective treatment of HIV, for instance, was the recent discovery by Vanderbilt researchers (or rather by their patients, who tipped them off) that “Water drinking increases blood pressure profoundly in patients with autonomic failure and substantially in older control subjects” (Jordan, Jens et al. (2000), “The Pressor Response to Water Drinking in Humans. A Sympathetic Reflex?,” Circulation, Feb. 8:504-9). While the researchers could not identify the causes of this pressor effect, its very existence calls attention to the close relationship between water intake and the blood. From the perspective of Magnetized Water therapy, it raises the question of whether the effect of the therapy is not a result of some vague percolation of magnetized water throughout the entire body but rather the consequence of a specific impact of the “charge” in Magnetized Water on the ultrasensitive red blood cells.

Two important scientific aspects of Magnetized Water deserve careful analysis in future studies. The first is the physics and chemistry of magnetized water itself. Water of many kinds is fundamental to life. Scientists study water from various perspectives to understand its role in Nature. As water undergoes magnetization, it presumably develops special physicochemical characteristics that have an influence on its action in vivo. The means and degree of magnetization, the energy state of water molecules after they rapidly lose their "charge" upon leaving the magnetic field, the presence of other chemicals in solution, the analogy with electroactivated water, and alterations of permeability of membranes are all of interest.

As a physical therapy Magnetized Water appears to resemble the various therapies termed “Physical Hemotherapy” in Russia (For a survey, see Ulashchik, V.S. (1999), “Hemophysiotherapy: Foundation, Perspectives of Utilization and Research [Russian],” Voprosy Kurortologii, Fizioterapii i Lechebnoi Fizicheskoi Kultury 3:May-Jun:3-9). These include Biophotonic Therapy (low-intensity red laser and ultraviolet) but also Magnetic Hemotherapy, in which extracorporeal blood is exposed to a pulsed or steady magnetic field before being reinfused. The therapeutic profile and mechanisms of action of Magnetic Hemotherapy are virtually identical to those of Biophotonic Therapy. So it seems reasonable to hypothesize that Magnetized Water is just a different means of applying Magnetic Hemotherapy—i.e., that the central mechanism of action of Magnetized Water is its activation of the blood cells, red and white.

Various theories seek to explain the medicinal effects of activated blood cells. In effect, the various kinds of Physical Hemotherapy stimulate the immunological response of all blood cells, but because there are 700 Red Blood Cells for every White Blood Cell, they should be primarily considered red blood cell therapies. Thus it is to be anticipated that, if Magnetized Water indeed fits into this category, it might have a very high effectiveness in destroying many kinds of pathogens, including HIV.

While Magnetized Water appears to possess major advantages over drug therapies of HIV (lower cost, potentially fewer side effects, possibly greater effectiveness), Magnetized Water appears potentially superior in several ways. Magnetized Water does not involve extracting blood, using needles and heparin, or the danger of transmission of infections. Magnetized Water is generally perceived as harmless—so there may be psychological/placebo and compliance advantages.

Magnetic Water & Degenerative Disease
The Ohno Institute was established by Dr. Yoshitaka Ohno to foster research, education, training, and the dissemination of information on health and aging disorders. Its focus for the past five years has been on studying and promoting the benefits of naturally magnetized water, found in Japan by Dr. Ohno and brought to the United States. This unique water has been used by Japanese doctors for years to help patients recover from serious illnesses. It has also been shown to have a positive effect in preventing diseases associated with aging. Dr. Ohno started the Ohno Institute to further his study on the effects of this water in solving health problems. Early in his medical career, Dr. Ohno began searching for ways to stop the suffering of his patients with degenerative diseases. These were diseases which could not be treated successfully with standard medicine, such as Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis, as well as diseases which needed to be managed with constant medications, such as hypertension, asthma, and diabetes.

He began to realize that the side effects of these medications were creating serious, chronic health problems while increasing the body’s deterioration. After further study, he realized that the condition of the body’s water was directly related to the way the body continuously deteriorated, as well as recovered from illness. In order to test his theory, Dr. Ohno studied and tested many different water sources.

During his time in Japan conducting his research, he discovered naturally magnetized water that was being used by a prominent physician to treat his patients. While in consultation and observing these patients, it became apparent that this water was unique and had therapeutic benefits. His theory was supported by previous studies conducted in Russia, China, Japan and the United States with magnetized water, which reported improvements in persons suffering from serious, chronic diseases. Dr. Ohno has conducted numerous studies on this water and has been encouraged by his findings. It is becoming more widely accepted that this naturally magnetized water has remarkable health benefits.

In order to provide nutrition to the trillions of cells, as well remove and transport waste products to the kidneys and lungs, blood circulates in a continuous pattern. Anything that slows down the blood’s movement, even for a fraction of a second, can result in oxygen depletion, leading to severe damage to organs. This is directly related to the blood’s viscosity, its rate of flow, which is directly affected by blood composition. One of the main reasons blood flow is hindered is due to high viscosity (resistance).

Blood viscosity is four times greater than water viscosity. Water, which is not adequately magnetized, can increase blood viscosity. When blood is composed of contaminated water, viscosity increases even more, and waste products and plaque attach more readily, creating difficulty of transporting nutrients to tissues and organs. This creates the environment for free radicals to flourish, as oxygen bonds with saturated fats in the bloodstream and attaches readily to cell membranes and vascular structures. When this build up increases over time, such as around the brain cells, calcification in the form of plaques increases and destroys brain functions, such as seen in Alzheimer’s disease. When these formations occur in the vascular system, this becomes a factor in hypertension and stroke.

There has always been much controversy over “thick blood” and “thin blood”. There has never been a good explanation as to what this means in relation to how blood acts as the transportation system for vital nutrients and antigens in the immune system. Blood is the creator and regulator of fluids produced in the body such as urine, sweat, gastric juices, and liquified carbon dioxide.

Thick blood is “sticky” blood. This is blood in which saturated fats, plaque and other waste products have accumulated. The thick masses of these accumulations result in certain immune-related diseases such as gout, kidney and gall stones, as well as allergies. Slowing the blood’s rate of flow deprives cells, tissues and organs of vital nutrients in a timely manner. Blood must flow smoothly. Bio-magnetization keeps the blood’s viscosity, or rate of flow, normal and prevents fats and plaque from accumulating on arterial walls and in cell membranes.

There have been some interesting theories about magnetic influence on circulation of blood. There are much data to support them. One is that iron in the blood’s hemoglobin molecule will increase blood flow because of its ionization. Hemoglobin, per se, has no magnetic charge. However, magnetization in the blood’s water can charge a hemoglobin molecule and, therefore, organize its movement. This will influence blood flow, especially the blood’s viscosity.

The possibility that magnetism can influence blood flow is important to the body’s healing process. This needs to be explored more thoroughly because it can be a major factor in treating immune-related diseases. Hemoglobin carries oxygen to cells. If injured or diseased cells receive more oxygen, then they should generate faster and metabolize more completely. Rather than clot as would be expected if magnetism caused iron in the blood to draw together in a clump, blood cells would actually separate when magnetism is applied.

Magnetization is necessary to regulate blood chemistry, flow and keep a pH balance. Since the blood is 90% water, it is obvious that water, which is bio-magnetized, is more effective in maintaining blood quality. But in addition to the influence magnetism has on water and blood, it also is necessary to every aspect of life. Without magnetism, the earth would spin off its axis and disappear in space. The common factor of all aspects of life is dependency on magnetism for survival.

How can normal blood chemistry and circulation be maintained? For the past three years, the Ohno Institute on Water and Health has exposed a naturally magnetized water from Japan to extensive clinical testing to determine its role in preventing, as well as improving health and aging disorders. Some consistent findings include (1) removing acidity from tissues, (2) increased cell detoxification, and (3) increased intra-cell hydration. These are significant attributes in maintaining good blood composition and circulation.
