Real Water Concentrate - How Does It Work?

Real Water Concentrate = Real Water Health!

I’ve posted many articles regarding the importance of eating and drinking alkaline foods and beverages as well as doing other things to limit the bombardment of acidic substances that your body must endure. The best article, in my opinion, is the Quackwatch reply, marked above. None of those articles explain how the Real Water Concentrate actually works. I am going to simplify it in a way that made sense to me. This isn’t a scientific explanation of REAL WATER, rather a layman’s explanation.

 Your body tries to maintain alkalinity level in your blood of pH 7.4. It uses a number of different chacks and balances (buffers) to maintain this, so when you eat or drink something acidic it immediately reacts to lessen the effect of that acidic ‘thing’ on your bodies environment. When your body pH is out of balance for an extended period of time, you get sick. Disease thrives in an acidic environment.

Drinking alkaline ionized water, such as The Real Water Club’s Real Water, is one way to help your body’s buffering system out. Real Water helps to ease the load, so to speak, so it doesn’t have to work so hard fighting against the assault of acidic forces in our environment.

As an aside… I have been hearing about "Acid Rain" since I was quite young. In fact, it is a term that is so accepted now in today’s society that it has lost all meaning. Acid rain was NOT a reality many years ago. Acid rain is a direct result of our industrialized society. When water falls from the sky it carries with it particles of airborne contaminants that create smog…. factory by products, and exhaust etc. This is what has changed the earth’s water from pH neutral (or slightly alkaline) to what it is today…. ACID RAIN"

 So it is easy to see that if something as HUGE as the rain that falls to the earth is acidic then all the untreated water on earth is. There isn’t any way for it not to be. Not only is it acidic though, it is also damaged. Being subjected to toxins, and magnetic pulls, rushing through lead (and other metal) pipes has weakened the bonds that hold the water molecules together. They are no longer structured as tightly as they once were. Our BODY must tighten the bonds… re-structure the water… before it can assimilate it for use in the cells.

Real Water Function - Re-Structure

One of the things that the Real Water Concentrate does is re-structures the water. It holds an electrical charge that tightens the bonds between molecules and clusters them in a way that water used to be found in nature. This is a structure that your body immediately recognizes. This allows for quicker absorption into the cells, and superior hydration.

Real Water Function - Alkalinity

Real Water Concentrate adds a negative charge to your water making it more bio-available. A side benefit is the proper pH due to your water now having the correct amount of electrons. In other words, it is the very thing that makes the water re-structure (the electric charge) that also makes it more alkaline. The extra (negatively charged) hydrogen ions not only give the Real Water the ability to be electrically charged, but also create a slightly alkaline envirnment. These extra negatively charged hydrogen ions have huge anti-oxidant effect in your blood stream as the travel through your system and grab on to free radicals.

Real Water Science - E2 Technology

We guarantee that Real Water Concentrate has a stabilized negative (-) Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) through a proprietary process called the Electron Energized or E2 technology. Our concentrate does not have any chemicals added to maintain a proper pH as many other products do to achieve alkalized water.

The Real Water Club

The Real Water Club is simply a free membership club that allows you to order your Real Water Concentrate at wholesale. In other words, the Real Water Club is a distribution model. much like COSTCO, where you must be a member in order to enjoy lower prices. The difference is that unlike COSTCO, when you join The Real Water Club, membership is FREE, and you can EARN COMMISSION simply by telling others about the product and letting them join the Real Water Club through YOUR membership.


The Real Water Club - Real Water

Real Water - Making Alkaline Water

 

Alkaline Water for Better Health

There has been much discussion over the past few years about the quality of the water we drink and the effects that this may have on our health. Many health experts believe that the low-quality of tap water in the world can pose health concerns, particularly if we rely upon this as our main source of water when consuming the recommended 8 glasses each day.

As a result, millions have turned to bottled water - and now the the truth has come out that at the very least, Coca-Cola and Pepsi bottled waters are actually purified tap water, and with prices constantly on the rise, and serious question marks over quality (is it really any better than tap water) - people want to  to know what they can do at home.

 

What is Alkaline Water? Why Make Our Water Alkalizing?

Water is one of the most important factors when becoming and staying healthy and vibrant. Our bodies are 70% water and our blood is 94% water - if we follow the recommendation to drink at least two litres of water per day and this water is acid and polluted - imagine what this will do to our bodies?!

As the majority of the foods we eat create acid wastes in our system, it is important to drink alkaline water in order to maintain a optimal health and energy, particularly as acid water ((less than pH 7) is a hotbed of microorganisms, bacteria and viruses.

Acid wastes (from the lifestyles we lead - not only from food and drink, but also from stress and other pollutants) are dumped into the bloodstream and lymph, and then are transported to the liver and kidneys for the detoxification processing and elimination. The pH level of our internal fluids affects every living cell in our bodies and the effect that over-acidification can have upon the health of our bodies is immense, with a chronically over acidic pH creating an extremely negative environment which affects all cellular functions from the beatings of the heart to the neural workings of the brain.

In order to hydrate your body optimally, you need to drink water that is alkalizing and mineral rich. Alkaline water helps to neutralize acids and remove toxins from the body. Alkalizing water also acts as a conductor of electrochemical activity from cell to cell. Ideally, water should have a ph between 9 and 10, and you should be drinking 3-4 liters of it daily. As you hydrate your body properly, you’ll develop more of a thirst for water. Food cravings are often the body’s cry for water. You might already have more of a thirst than you even realize.

Home Water Distillers, Ionizers and Filters

When we think of increasing the quality of our drinking water, we naturally think of a water filter such as a Britta™. Make no mistake, these handy and affordable filters go a long way towards making our drinking water more beneficial and healthful. However, if you are looking for life-giving, energy-boosting nourishment from your drinking water then these only really scratch the surface. A filter is a necessity today to remove impurities in the water, especially when you understand the level of contamination…. it has recently been reported that MANY major cities in the United States have traces of prescription drugs in their water supply!

Taking your water from being something that simply quenches your thirst (or goes in the kettle) to being something that you crave due to the energy and vitality it gives you is not a complex, difficult process, nor does it have to be expensive. You can massively increase the quality of your drinking water using one of the following techniques:

Home Water Distillers

Water distillers heat tap water electrically to boiling point. The purified condensation then drains into a clean container - leaving all of the impurities behind in the boiling chamber. Distilled water comes closes to rain water, which would be our ideal water source if the atmosphere was not so polluted!

Distillation kills and removes bacteria, viruses, cysts and heavy metals. Although there is some debate about the effects of distilled water removing beneficial minerals as well as these disease forming metals and germs, it is useful to note that the mineral content in water is so minute that one would have to drink approximately six-hundred 8oz glasses of water to attain the RDA of calcium and 1,800+ glasses to fulfill their daily requirement of magnesium.

Another common myth surrounding distilled water is that it leaches minerals from the body. This is not only false, but impossible. The human body is incredibly efficient and effective and in no way could allow water to force out essential body elements. What distilled water does do, is transport inorganic minerals and toxins out of the body, helping to cleanse and purify the body’s internal environment.

Distilled water also has more oxygen ions and fewer hydrogen ions, making the water far less acidic and more alkaline than other types of water.

Water Ionizers

Water ionizers are, unsurprisingly, products that ionize water. The water is ionized (electrically enhanced) by running it over positive and negative electrodes. This separates the water into alkaline (70%) and acidic (30%). This is exceptionally beneficial as the alkaline water is then used for drinking, while the acidic water can be used on the outside of the body as it is proven to kill many types of bacteria.

The quality of ionized water is reputed to surpass water from any other source. For instance, ionized water is the only type of water that has a low surface tension which allows for greater absorption of water and nutrients into the body.

Some water ionizers also come with an alkalinity adjustment which allows you to set your preferred level of alkalinity. This is an incredibly useful benefit which is unique to this type of machine.

Reverse Osmosis Water Filters

Reverse Osmosis utilizes a fine membrane to filter water - known as hyper-filtration. This allows the removal of bacteria, salts, sugars, proteins, particles, dyes, and other damaging elements.

Reverse osmosis uses a membrane that is semi-permeable. This allows the water to pass through while the contaminants are removed. In the majority of reverse osmosis filters, this membrane is self-cleaning, allowing for the purest water to be provided.

Reverse osmosis units can use between 2-3 gallons of water to make 1 gallon up to as much as 10 gallons of water or more, to make 1 gallon of pure water.

As with distilled water, reverse osmosis water is far more alkaline than tap or bottled water.

How Else Can I Increase the Alkalinity of my Water?

Understanding of acidity and how it affects our lives and our health is beginning to become more "main stream".  The timing for a product like this could not be better. it is facing acceptance in most markets, the price point is extremely affordable, and many people already have, or are considering a purchase, of a water ionizer machine such as Enagic’s Kangen Water Ionizer, or The Jupiter… another relatively well known product. 

People are THRILLED to know that an investment on $2000 to $4000 all at once simply isn’t necessary any more. Now you can purchase a 4 ounce bottle of Real Water Concentrate for as little as $39.95. For people who already have the water ionizer machine at home, this product is a wonderful addition. Now they can have their ionized water at home and take their Real Water with them when they travel. 

The Real Water Club Business Opportunity 

 

Economically, we are in frightening times. The US dollar is devalued, and we are deep in a recession. Some areas of the United States are experiencing an economic depression. Just about everybody would love to have a way to supplement family income, but they do not have money to invest in a franchise or traditional ‘brick and mortar" business. 

The Real Water Club is a mixture of the good parts of a traditional MLM style business (referral marketing) coupled with a commission structure that pays incredibly well…. 50 cents of every dollar brought in to the company from sales is sent back out to the field distributors in the way of compensation.  Tis generous compensation, along with a simple pay plan structure ensures that anyone can earn an income, should they desire. You do not have to be a sales professional to reap the rewards of supplemental income. when a product makes sense, telling people is simple and lucrative.

Starting a business with The Real Water Club is as easy as enrolling as a member of The Real Water Club for free.  You will get a free website right away and you can begin telling others about the product or business opportunity. When other people order product as a business owner, or customer, if you referred them you will earn a referral commission. As people you refer tell others your circle of influence grows. Each time someone within your circle of influence orders a product, you have the ability to earn a commission. 

The Real Water Club Compensation Plan

 

The Real Water Club Compensation Plan (or rewards plan) is a pay plan designed to allow even the most inexperienced marketer to easily earn commissions. It has 2 main parts… a 2 team structure (called a binary) where everyone you tell is stacked in one team or the other, one after the other. The is another part of the plan, called a unilevel plan where everyone you tell about is lined up side by side and they each build their own teams. It’s kind of like playing on the basketball team and the soccer team in the same season. The rules are different but if you do your part you will reap the rewards.

Here is a complete explanation of the compensation plan in flash movie format.

Are You Chronically Dehydrated?

Posted by admin on September 11, 2008
The Real Water Club, Water / No Comments

The Dangers of Chronic Dehydration

By Albert Grazia, M.S., N.D. 

Could you be chronically dehydrated ? Many people are and never realize it. Our bodies require at least eight glasses of water per day, more during exercise, illness, and hot weather. People often think that even if they don’t actually drink water, they are getting enough by drinking coffee, tea, soft drinks, juice or beer. The truth is that many of these beverages have a diuretic effect, encouraging the body to excrete water through urination, rather than retaining it. Think about a grape versus a raisin. The one is plump and full and juicy, containing all its natural water. The other is small, dry, shriveled, its water gone. Although a grape in dehydrated condition is still a good and useful fruit, the human body when dehydrated does not function at its best and may be at risk for many ailments.



The body is composed of nearly 75% water, and water is required for many of its essential functions. Water is utilized as a solvent. It also provides a means to transport nutrients, hormones and other elements. It is used to produce hydroelectric energy, especially in the brain. It is essential for maintaining cell structure. Water is also necessary to maintain a lower serum viscosity that enables proteins and enzymes to function more efficiently. Chronic dehydration can lead to a loss or decease in these functions and may ultimately result in disease or can exacerbate an existing condition. Contrary to popular belief, dry mouth or thirst is not the first sign of dehydration. 



All life began in water; even the developing fetus is surrounded by water. When the body is deprived of water, a water rationing system takes effect. Histamine, a neurotransmitter becomes active and redistributes water throughout the body. The order of circulatory priority is the brain, lungs, liver, kidneys, and glands, then comes the muscles, bones and skin. During periods of dehydration, histamine insures that these vital organs have enough water to function properly. If enough water is not supplied, it must be taken from within the body. Chronic dehydration can cause histamine to become excessively active. This may result in symptoms that may be mistaken for other disorders such as allergies, asthma, dyspepsia, colitis, constipation, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic pains in various parts of the body such as migraine headaches.



Dyspeptic pain, which can range from simple heartburn to gastro-esophageal reflux disorder (GERD), may be one of the early signs of dehydration. During the early digestive process when food enters the stomach, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is secreted to activate the enzymes to breakdown the proteins found in meat and dairy. The acidic contents of the stomach, called chyme, is then pumped into the small intestine by passing through a valve, called the pyloric sphincter. This acid chyme must be neutralized before it damages the intestinal lining. The pancreas is responsible for secreting the bicarbonate ions to neutralize the acid. A large amount of water is required to produce this bicarbonate solution. If sufficient water is not available, the digestive process may be delayed and food may remain in the stomach longer than necessary. Over a period of time, the stomach acid may rise and if allowed to enter the esophagus, will produce the sensation known as heartburn. Ideally, water should be taken 30 minutes before meals, during meals, and again two hours after eating.



Another possible complication of dehydration is joint pain. The cartilage in your body, including your joints, is composed mainly of water. As cartilage surfaces glide over one another, some exposed cells become worn and peel away. New cartilage is normally produced to replace the damaged cells. Due to the lack of blood vessels in cartilage, water is needed to transport the nutrients required for maintenance and repair. Dehydration may increase the abrasive damage and delay its repair, resulting in joint pain. 



Asthma and allergies can be another indication that the body has increased production of histamine. During chronic dehydration, the body will attempt to conserve water by preventing unnecessary water loss. A large amount of water is normally lost from the lungs as water vapor through expired air. Histamine, which also controls bronchial muscle contractions, may attempt to restrict water loss through expiration by constricting the bronchial muscles. 



Another complication of dehydration can be constipation. When water is in short supply in the body, the colon will act to restrict unnecessary water loss through the stools. Colon muscles will contract to squeeze out and subsequently reabsorb water back into circulation. This can result in harder stools that are not only more difficult to pass, but may also irritate and weaken the walls of the colon, resulting in small pockets known as diverticuli. Since the water that the colon reabsorbs back into circulation is not filtered water, but wastewater, it must then be filtered by the liver and the kidneys. This may place additional strain on these overworked organs. 



Depression may be another complication of chronic dehydration. The amino acid tryptophan is required by the brain to produce the neurotransmitter serotonin, which subsequently is needed to make melatonin. An adequate amount of water is required for tryptophan to be transported into the brain. Dehydration may limit the amount of tryptophan available to the brain and to complicate matters, the histamine levels may actually stimulate tryptophan’s breakdown in the liver. 



Most of the body’s water is found within the cells, and the next largest amount is in the fluid surrounding the cells. If water is not replaced frequently, this surrounding fluid may continue to accumulate waste material and other contaminates. The pumps in your cell membranes may not work as efficiently because allowing dirty water into the cell can cause cellular damage or cell death. You wouldn’t bathe in the same bath water without first cleaning the tub and adding fresh water. Why would you allow your cells to be surrounded by waste material?



In conclusion, water is vital to good health and there is no substitute for water. However, years of chronic dehydration can not be reversed overnight by simply drinking a couple of glasses of water. Rather water intake should be gradually increased. How do you know if you’re drinking enough water? Your urine should be clear or lightly colored. A darker colored urine may be an indication that your kidneys are working hard to concentrate the urine. 



Of course, under no circumstances should anyone discontinue taking any prescription medications without the close supervision of their physician.

Real Water - Dr. James Chappell

Posted by admin on September 10, 2008
Acid/Alkaline, Ionized Water, The Real Water Club / No Comments

 

 The Importance of Water To The Human Body

 

© 2008 - Dr. James Chappell



"Water is the only substance on earth that is naturally present in three different forms - as a liquid, a solid (ice) and as a gas (water vapor)."



It has been said, water is so intelligent, it created humans to move itself around. Water; what is it really and why is it so important?



Pure Water - 

Pure water is merely two molecules of hydrogen gas and one molecule of oxygen gas in liquid form. The ratio of negative to positive ions will determine its acidity or alkalinity. The activity (formerly called concentration) of positive charged hydrogen to the negative charged hydroxide or oxygen bonded hydrogen will determine whether it has a positive or negative ionic charge. This is extremely important which I will discuss in a moment.



Water is a universal solvent. This means it has the ability to detoxify the body at a cellular level. Depending on our activity and environmental temperature, the average adult in the United States loses one half (1/2) gallon of water/fluids per day through perspiration, respiration, urination and defecation. If we don’t replace this amount of water on a daily basis, we slowly dehydrate. The most obvious sign of dehydration is dry, flaky, wrinkled skin. However, a misinterpreted signal of thirst is hunger. Most of us eat when we should be replacing fluids with bio-available water.



Simply, water is so vital; we can only live a few days without it. Matter-of-fact, rapid dehydration causes heart and kidney failure and death. Gradual dehydration leads to a litany of signs, signals and symptoms often mistaken as disease. Proper hydration is so critical; it is the first common denominator in The HONSTEC Syndrome. As you may recall, The HONSTEC Syndrome is seven common denominators anyone of which cause illness. The ‘H’ stands for hydration or lack of it.



Water Quotes - 

"To understand water is to understand the cosmos, the marvels of nature, and life itself."

Masaru Emoto in "The Hidden Messages in Water"



"Water is life’s matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water."

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi



"If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water."

Loran Eisley





During 37 years of research and education, I have come to realize the importance of bio-available substances including water. In the 60’s, we in the health movement said, you are what you eat. In the 70’s, we added you are what you assimilate. Finally, in the 80’s, we said, you are what you eat, assimilate and don’t eliminate. The key is absorption; assimilation or availability. Drinking water has little affect if it is not absorbed at the cellular level, and cellular absorption or bio-availability is determined by its ionic charge.



Ions – 

An ion is an atom or molecule which has lost or gained one or more electrons, giving it a positive or negative electrical charge. A negatively charged ion has more electrons, and is known as an anion. Conversely, a positively charged ion has fewer electrons, and is known as a cation.



"Negative ions increase the flow of oxygen to the brain; resulting in higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, and more mental energy," says Pierce J. Howard, PhD, author of The Owners Manual for the Brain: Everyday Applications from Mind Brain Research and Director of Research at the Center for Applied Cognitive Sciences in Charlotte, N.C.



“Negative ions are created in nature when air molecules separate from sunlight, radiation, and moving air or water such as waterfalls and pounding surf,” says ion researcher Michael Terman, PhD, of Columbia University in New York.



Negative ions are odorless, tasteless molecules that are either breathed into our respiratory system or consumed through our digestive system. High concentrations of air-generated negative ions can be found in nature in mountain forests, waterfalls and beaches. Digestible negative ions are found in certain waters. According to research, consumption from either source usually will cause people to feel energized and invigorated, which helps relieve stress, alleviate depression, and boost energy. High ion concentrations also apparently inhibit bacterial growth and perhaps foster plant growth. The good effects are attributed to high concentrations of negative ions rather than positive ones.



Negative ions are exceedingly beneficial for a person’s metabolism as a means of enhancing human behavior. They act in a complex mechanism to bring about hormone and biochemical reactions in the body and brain. It is impossible to get an overdose of negative ions, which act like pure water in washing away poisons. Generally, the more negative ions you are exposed to, the better and more uplifted you feel.



Positive ions or the lack of negative ions may cause Serotonin Hyper-function Syndrome or "Irritation Syndrome" and involves sleeplessness, irritability, tension, migraine, nausea, heart palpitations, hot flashes with sweating or chills, tremor and dizziness. The elderly become depressed, apathetic and extremely fatigued.



Side-effects from increasing serotonin levels in your body include; anxiety, nervousness, tremors, sweating, dizziness, lightheadedness, dry mouth, upset or irritated stomach, appetite loss, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach gas, rash and itching. Less common side-effects include changes in sex drive, impotence, abnormal dreams, difficulty concentrating, acne, hair loss, dry skin, chest pains, allergy, runny nose, bronchitis, abnormal heart rhythms, bleeding, blood pressure changes, headaches, fainting when rising suddenly from a sitting position, bone pain, bursitis, twitching, breast pain, fibrocystic disease of the breast, cystitis, urinary pain, double vision, eye or ear pain, conjunctivitis, anemia, swelling, low blood sugar, and low thyroid activity.



Anything that will increase negative ions within a balanced limitation would therefore be a health benefit.



Understanding pH – 

In solutions, including water, in which the activity of positive charged hydrogen (H+) equals that of negative charged hydroxide (OH-), the pH value will be 7.0 and are known as neutral. When the activity of hydrogen exceeds hydroxide, the pH value will be lower than 7.0 and is known as an acid. Solutions in which hydroxide (OH-) activity exceeds hydrogen (H+) will have a pH value greater than 7.0 and are known as bases or alkalines. Therefore, pH is dependent on ionic activity or the ratio of positive charged hydrogen (+) to negative charged hydroxide (-).



All natural foods contain both acid and alkaline forming elements. In some, acid forming elements dominate, in others alkaline forming elements dominate. According to modern biochemistry, it is not the organic matter of foods which leave acid or alkaline residues in the body. The inorganic matter; sulphur, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium and calcium determines the acidity or alkalinity of the body fluids. Food comparatively rich in acid forming elements are acid forming foods, those comparatively rich in alkaline forming elements are alkaline forming foods.



An acidic condition inhibits nerve action, alkalinity stimulates nerve action. One who has a balanced condition can think and act (decide) well. A balanced food plan is a great help in maintaining the pH balance of the blood; however it does not reveal results in a day or two. It takes a longer time to show the effect. Cold showers make the blood alkaline, while hot showers make the blood acid. If the blood develops a more acidic condition, then our body inevitably deposits these excess acidic substances in some area of the body so the blood will be able to maintain an alkaline condition.



Acid-Alkaline Forming Foods 

Foods may be classified in relation to the metabolic process as acid or alkaline. Alkali’s are soluble salts and acids are corrosive agents which have trouble combining with other things. A balanced diet contains 35% acid forming foods and 65% alkaline.
