So with my faithful computer, I started browsing about ionized water. What I quickly discovered was that yes, this restructured alkaline water produced from ionizers produced in Japan was evidently extensively used throughout Japan, found in their hospitals, clinics and even 20+% of their households.
[Footnote: My research had to rely exclusively on what I learned on the internet about the so-called Japanese 40+ years of experience with this water because although the Japanese began exporting their technology into the U.S. about 5 years ago, these imported ionizers were only being purchased by native Japanese living in the U. S.. It was not until a few years later that non-Asians living in my country began to learn of this technology. So it was safe to assume that finding such a machine in my own backyard (Kansas City) in August 2006 so I could "kick it's tires" would have been a fruitless endeavor.]
Dating back to the late-1950's, a Japanese medical device manufacturer first developed this technology at the request of Japan's Ministry of Agriculture. This Ministry was at the time launching Japan's organic industry. They were in need of finding something that was non-chemical which could be used to disinfect and clean their organic produce before being sent to the consumer marketplace. No such product existed, but they knew of a scientific discovery by Russian scientists in the early-1950's who were able to successfully split (ionize) water molecules into their respective alkaline and acidic components (ions) by means of electrolysis. Using this research, Japanese engineers working for a medical device manufacturer were asked to build a machine which could not only ionize common tap water, but do so in a way that the resulting two output streams of water would feature an alkaline pH of 11.3 or higher and an acidic pH of 2.7 or lower. This was requested because the Japanese scientist knew that water featuring an electrically induced pH of 2.7 or lower could act as an ideal chemically-free disinfecting solution; whereas, water with a pH greater than 11.3 could be strong enough to remove all foreign matter, including oxidants, from the the outer layers of fruits and vegetables. The engineers succeeded with their mission, and Japan's world-famous organic industry was launched!Standing by, Japan's Ministry of Health was observing this emerging technology's engineering progress. Upon completion of work, the Ministry of Health requested a few hospitals to use the new ionizer equipment to produce and begin using the 2.7 pH (strong acid) disinfectant water in their surgical suites, for sanitizing hospital rooms, for hand washing by care givers, etc. as a trial to see if infection control rates could be positively impacted. After a year-long trial, the outcome was a overwhelming success. So other Japanese hospitals began acquiring this ionizer technology for similar use.
Then the Health Ministry took things a step further, asking their original "trial" hospitals to try using this disinfecting water for treating skin ailments, ranging from athletes feet, burns, wounds and even gangrene, by simply spraying the affected areas with this water several times a day without the aid of any antiseptics. Results were remarkable, that is according to what I was reading on the internet (after all, not everything you read on the internet can be believed!) ... staff infections were dramatically reduced, people were no longer losing limbs to gangrene, etc. as well as the healing of the affected areas were accelerated compared to using western medicines.
Pretty interesting stuff, huh? But for me, it was what the Ministry of Health requested the Japanese engineers to do next that really got my attention ...
