Think about it. What other fluid can change to a solid state (ice) or evaporate and form steam? Our bodies are 90% water when we are born, and 70% water when we mature. When water freezes over a lake, everything under the ice layer remains alive until the ice melts again. All this makes water unique and different from other fluids. Could it be possible that unlike other fluids, water is a live entity?

An ancient Greek, Pliny, said that “Water swallows up the earth, extinguishes the flame, ascends on high, and by stretching forth as clouds challenges the heavens for their own, and the same falling down, becomes the cause of all things that grow in the earth.” No other fluid does that, and water is the element that controls the other elements of air, earth and fire.

Scientists have talked about “juvenile” and “mature” or “wise” water for years. Victor Schauberger, an Austrian scientist, defined “juvenile” water as sterile, distilled and devoid of any so-called impurities. He described “mature” water as “enriched with raw materials” and therefore “in a position to give, to dispense itself freely and willingly”.

The terms “juvenile” and “mature” are still being used to describe water, but Joan A Davis of Zurich Technical University define these terms slightly different. She says that “juvenile” water has recently fallen from outer space, whereas “wise” water fell to earth, seeped into the ground, and emerged with information collected from various minerals after hundreds of years to distribute information.

Louis Frank of the University of Iowa formed a theory that water has been entering the earth from outer space in the form of lumps of ice for over 40 billion years. Scientists initially regarded this as a laughable statement, but NASA research has proved that water indeed still comes to the earth from outer space, and it takes the shape of rain or snow or hail when it first arrives.

If water is a means of communication from outer space, then maybe Modjadji, the hereditary Rain Queen of the Balobedu tribe, has knowledge that has been ignored by those of us who rely on reservoirs and water management for our drinking water. The Balobedu believe that their Rain Queens communicate with the gods and pass down magical powers allowing them to create rain. The same practice of “rain-making” was used by the ancient Egyptians, and the Native Americans and people in the Balkans still perform their rain dances today.

This formation of “wise” water would explain why water from hot springs and thermal baths has healing qualities. This “wise” water comes from deep below the earth, and the healing qualities of such water have been known for thousands of years. For example, people from all over the world flock to over 1 300 thermal baths in Hungary to receive treatment for various ailments, ranging from respiratory and digestive disorders to even infertility. This has given rise to balneotherapy, or healing with water.

What information can water distribute? It is well known that no two snowflakes form the same crystals. This pricked the curiosity of the Japanese scientist, Masaro Emoto, author of “The Hidden Messages in Water”. He has spent many years photographing water crystals and deciphering the meaning of the crystals that were formed under different conditions. Masaro Emoto proved conclusively that water responds to the environment and to people.

A group of Japanese school children assisted him with an experiment by walking past three bottles of water every day for a week. They said “I love you” to the first bottle of water, “You fool” to the second, and ignored the third bottle. Masaro Emoto then took photographs of the crystals that were formed by the water in these bottles.

The water from the first bottle formed a beautiful, dainty, symmetric crystal. The water from the second bottle formed a shape that looked similar to an oil stain. The water from the third, ignored, bottle showed a deformed blob, similar to crystals from water that was exposed to heavy metal music.

Masaro Emoto came to the conclusion that perfect water crystals are formed when they are exposed to the words “love” and “gratitude”. He says that the key to a happy and health life is to purify the water that is in your body.

This tells us that water is not only a lubricant, basis for saliva, regulator of body temperature and means of alleviating constipation and regulating our metabolism, among other physiological functions. It is quite possible that water is a tangible means of communicating with the souls that are housed in our bodies.

The science of homeopathy is based on the premise that water has a memory and that our bodies respond to that memory. For many years traditional scientists have laughed off the idea that homeopathic medicine that is diluted to the point where there is no trace left of the original remedy, can heal people. They believed that it is a placebo effect, where people want to get better and as a result their belief in the medicine, rather than the medicine itself, makes them better.

The research that Masaro Emoto and other scientists have done recently indicates that water indeed has a memory, and that the human body responds to the messages that it gets from water. Homeopathic medicine retains only the memory of the illness. The body then responds to this memory and activates its own healing mechanism to fight the illness. The homeopathic medicine makes the body aware of the intruding illness that needs to be taken away, and then the body responds and you start to feel better.

If water is so important to both our bodies and souls, what is the best water to drink? City dwellers do not have the benefit of drinking “wise” water from wells. We have the options of bottled water and tap water.

Bottled water can be quite expensive in the long run, and even when you drink only bottled water, research has indicated that it is not necessarily healthy. Bottled water can come from underground sources or from springs, but if you are not careful, you could be sold ordinary tap water in a bottle.

The Coca Cola Company had to withdraw their bottled water from the UK market a few years ago when consumers realised that the water is in fact potable (drinkable) tap water that underwent a “highly sophisticated purifying process”. The tap water suppliers in the UK pointed out that the tap water was already potable before it was “purified” by the Coca Cola Company. In the UK bottled water must now be labelled to show whether it is mineral water, spring water or drinking water (which can be tap water even though it is sold in a bottle).

If tap water is drinkable, is tap water then better than bottled water? Not necessarily. Tap water is clean because chemicals such as chlorine and fluoride are added, but does that mean that tap water is healthy? Chlorine was first added to drinking water in the 1890′s to combat water-borne diseases such as cholera and typhoid. Chlorine destroys the structure that is found in natural water and is a known poison. There is also no conclusive proof that fluoride has health benefits, but both chlorine and fluoride are still being added to our drinking water. It is not clear what damage tap water does to your body over a lifetime.

Then what water should we drink? It seems that the best solution is to filter tap water, and preferably to drink alkaline filtered water. Sang Whang, the author of Reverse Ageing, has done research into the benefits of drinking alkaline water. His findings include a decline in blood sugar levels in diabetic patients, improvements in liver functions in hepatic disorders, improvements in gastro duodenal ulcers and prevention of their recurrences, improvements in allergic disorders such as asthma, urticaria, rhinitis and atopic dermatitis, and improvements in hypertension and hypotension.

There are many water filter system on the market, and much information on domestic water filter systems is available on the internet. Once you have decided on the most suitable one for your needs, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to maintain the filters.

There is the old saying that one cannot live from cold water and love alone. If we show enough love and gratitude to the water we drink, and if we drink enough water to satisfy the needs of our bodies, could it be that love and filtered tap water form the cheapest and most effective diet ever invented?

Each and every hour Americans discard an alarming 1.5 million plastic water bottles, which if they aren’t recycled properly end up in a landfill somewhere for the next 100 years. This figure applies only as long as they are discarded properly. I often have the pleasure of seeing plastic water bottles on the side of many sidewalks, streets, and highways where they have been casually tossed by the previous owner; I guess that is another convenience for some bottled water drinkers. Then of course located in offices and homes around the country are water dispensers/coolers with the 3 or 5 gallon water jugs on top of them. The people using these have to take delivery of the jugs, store the jugs, lift the jugs, and replace the jugs each time one runs out.

A Few Little Known Facts

The bottled water you drink is considered by the Federal Government to be a food. This means that according to federal guidelines bottled water falls under the authority of the Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.). However, tap water falls under the authority of the Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.) which has much stricter guidelines regarding water purity and contaminant levels than the F.D.A. The E.P.A. requires that water plants provide the public with reports on the water source, testing conducted, and contaminant levels (violations) if any are found. The bottled water industry does not have to adhere to these standards. You may find, depending on the particular brand of bottled water you drink, that your tap water is actually cleaner. Not to mention that many bottled water companies are misleading consumers by selling reconstituted tap water; not the refreshing spring water like the label would suggest.

Your local municipal water source is also required to test several times per day for microbiological impurities in the water. Bottled water companies are only required to test for this once a week. Local tap water also has to be tested much more often for chemicals than is required for bottled water companies. We then throw in the fact that the F.D.A. does not necessarily require (by way of loopholes) the same standards for bottled water from state-to-state. The numerous problems associated with bottled water and regulation of its quality should become self-evident.

Does This Let Tap Water Off the Hook?

Unfortunately, tap water doesn’t get off either. A National assessment of tap water quality conducted by the Environmental Working Group, dated December 20, 2005, concluded the following in their summary. “Tap water in 42 states is contaminated with more than 140 unregulated chemicals that lack safety standards, according to the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG’s) two-and-a-half year investigation of water suppliers’ tests of the treated tap water served to communities across the country.”

Recently, in Montgomery County, Maryland an estimated 440,000 households were without tap water due to a major main break that took eight hours to locate because it was in a wooded area. This left many residents and businesses without water for days. Some businesses were shut down altogether until this problem was resolved. Initially, the resident’s who finally got their water flowing again were strenuously encouraged to boil the water before drinking it because of the tremendous concern by local authorities over impurities and contaminants that may still be present in the water.

In the national news you can see impending threats, or occurrences of problems to municipal tap water sources by way of natural disasters such as hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc, almost every week. In addition, the same radical cowardly groups that caused 9/11, could also turn their eyes to our nations fresh water supply as a way to create terror, and wide spread panic by successfully or unsuccessfully attempting to release biological or chemical agents into our water.

States all over the nation are vying for water resources, and many of them have fresh water resources that are dwindling. Some states that are otherwise friendly neighbors are locked in disputes now over water rights. If you go to the New York Times and look up an article by Andrew C. Revkin entitled “New Climate Report Forsees Big Changes,” the problem only appears to be getting worse for the United States, and the rest of the world.

The cost of municipal tap water appears to be on the rise as well. Just do a comparison of your water bill today vs. your water bill 3 years ago and I am sure you will see a noticeable increase.

Technology and Innovation To The Rescue

The world is in desperate need of a viable realistic alternative to the increasing demand for safe, clean drinking water. The Earth’s surface is 75% water, but only 2.5% is a fresh water resource, or usable by mankind. Three quarters of the 2.5% available is frozen in glaciers. That leaves about .625% available for use by mankind. From that small amount left over for use by mankind, and other living organisms, 70% is used world wide for agriculture, and another 15% for industrial use.

Science and technology have come to the rescue. There is now available a revolutionary patented technology that will change all of this. It was developed by a company who’s insight, innovation, and desire to help mankind drove them to provide a more sustainable, more environmentally friendly source of water. I have spoken to many people over the past several weeks about the technology, and most of them are completely unfamiliar with it. Innovation now allows us to create pure drinking water from air by way of an atmospheric water generator.

At any given time there is approximately 3.1 quadrillion gallons of water in Earth’s atmosphere. The hydrological cycle (evaporation, condensation, and precipitation) manufactures billions of gallons of water recycling in the atmosphere everyday, making this supply almost limitless and accessible in most parts of the world.

Finely tuned and engineered is an atmospheric water generating unit on the market today that extracts the water through a sophisticated condensation process and sends it through a series of state-of-science purifiers. The unprecedented technology removes all inorganic materials, undesirable odors and tastes, particulate matter smaller than .01 microns, and all forms of bacteria, metals, minerals, viruses and other elements that might pose any kind of health risk. The unit also serves to both dehumidify the air, and purify the air it uses to create water. This remarkable technology is destined to become the future of water, and will ensure accessibility to clean safe drinking water for millions in the United States and world wide.

Industrial growth has come at a price that might be hard to pay. We have dumped immeasurable quantities of toxic wastes into our sources of potable water over the years. The toxic industrial wastes, pesticides from the agricultural fields and sewage have not only polluted the surface water but also seeped through to the ground water level to a limit from which there is no coming back. Even the developed countries use minerals like chlorine and fluoride, two carcinogenic minerals, for water treatment purposes. The lead used in plumbing systems pollutes drinking water supplies. At this rate, surface water will not remain fit for any use, leave alone drinking.

This pitiable condition of surface water has forced scientists to turn towards atmospheric water for a feasible and cost effective solution. Finally, we have a technology that can actually create water from air. This technology uses atmospheric moisture to create pure drinking water. All that needs to be done is to connect the unit to a power supply, and that’s it – it does the rest. This is also a commercially practical option since a home water purification system that uses this technology capable of producing 1 gallon of 99.99% pure drinking water at a cost of half a dollar.

The office appliances solely built for commercial use can create up to 12 gallons of pure drinking water a day. Atmospheric water Systems, Inc., for example, has come up with a device that uses a four stage water filtration system that can create water from air that is up to 99.99% pure.

The system uses a patented system that maintains a zero bacteria count, round the clock. The microorganisms are removed from the incoming air with the help of a built in “Antibiotic Air-Filtration System”. The UV water filtration system further purifies the water in order to produce the best quality drinking water. The water dispenser provides both hot and cold water on demand. It has a special child proof hot water safety guard tap.

At times like this, when global warming is a major concern, a water purification system such as this is a welcome development. It uses minimal energy and helps us avoid plastic that is extensively used in the case of bottled water. Choose these atmospheric water filtration units to reduce your carbon footprints.
