This makes my heart sing! People working for others around water.

People helping people at the most fundamental level is a concept dear to my heart. Take a look at this video and see them at work.

Are You Interested in Helping Your Friends?

This week Cassie was talking to a client about her experience of using our wonderful Tropical Traditions Virgin Organic Coconut Oil. She had had a cholesterol problem for years and had only managed slight improvements through diet.

When she made her regular checkup with her local GP, she had her cholesterol checked. "What've you been up to?" said the Doc. "Your cholesterol level is normal!"

We're getting used to reports like this these days, but it's hard to convince people that something so tasty and nutritious can have such a great effect.

So we're looking at people who use - or want to use - our coco oil becoming local coco distributors. They can sell to their friends and even supply their local health food stores, and make enough to get their own for free or even make some cash. If you're interested, give Peter a call on or email him here.

And here's another tip from Cassie. For a chemical free dandruff treatment, warm your hair and scalp with a hair drier, then rub in coco oil. Leave it for a couple of hours then shampoo your new squeaky clean scalp. You'll also find that your hair has better 'lux' than any expensive conditioner!

Fitness and Health are the same game.

So many of us think that health can be achieved without fitness. It can - for a while - but remember; gravity sucks, and it will win in the end.

One example is the taking of calcium supplements; unless our bones are stressed regualrly and get the message to grow and strengthen, you may as well pour half that expensive coral calcium down the sink. Here's that fitness program I showed readers before. It's a great one.

Dr. Robert O. Young's Live Blood analysts in Australia

There are only three qualified Robert O. Young 'Live Blood Work' qualified practitioners in Australia. Heather King in Tassie is one, and Phil Burton in Australia is another.

Phil has sent me a great piece on the way live blood analysis demonstrates the beneficial effect of alkaline water. Download it here. And if you'd like to pay him a visit, his address and phone number is in the article.

Water Like Fire

Sometimes I wonder if drinking alkaline water is akin to a 'fire in the belly' - I'm more energized and alive. That's why this pic appealed to me.

Green Tea and Colon Cancer

Most of us know by now that green tea is rich in polyphenol antioxidants, believed to help protect against cancer and heart disease. Daniel Reid, author of the Tao of Detox ( a great book!) always serves up High Mountain Oolong green tea when we visit. He tells me that Taiwanese don't have tooth decay becasue of green tea, and now a Chinese study has reported beneficial associations between regular consumption of green tea and colorectal cancer risk.

It affects around a million people worldwide - and is linked to poor eating habits, low levels of physical activity, and ageing populations.

A cohort of 70,000 Chinese women aged 40 to 70 years was followed for 6 years, during which time 256 cases of colorectal cancer were recorded. Baseline dietary habits were then correlated with cancer risk in order to identify potentially protective foods and beverages.

Regular consumption of green tea was associated with a 37% reduction in colorectal cancer risk. There was also a 'dose response' relationship in that the clearest benefits were seen in those who consumed the most tea and for the greatest number of years. While the study focused only on associations, it backs up other research pointing to the significant protective attributes of green tea polyphenols.

For more information, see
Yang G et al (2007) Prospective cohort study of green tea consumption and colorectal cancer risk in women. Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, Vol 16, pg 1219-1223.

Bemer mattress for sale

A few months ago we ordered a BEMER Electromagnetic Therapeutic mattress for appraisal.

It's pretty amazing technology and I have no doubts about its effectiveness for people who need it. It cost us about $4100.

Well we tried it but frankly.. maybe because we are healthy already, it really didn't have great effect on the two of us. So we're selling it for $3000. It is absolutely as new. Email Cassie after you check their site and see if its the mattress for you.

Dirty Nappies Exposed

Scientist have been studying baby's nappies contents for the last year and have made some important findings. By applying sophisticated genetic analysis to samples of a year's worth baby poop, Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have now developed a detailed picture of how these bacteria come and go in the intestinal tract during a child's first year of life.

'Skinny Water'

Researchers from Georgetown University who studied 90 moderately overweight people found that drinking Skinny Water® can help dieters lose weight, a June 25 Business Wire press release from the water's producer said.

The bottled water, made by Skinny Nutritional Corp., helped the dieters burn more fat, eat less, reduce body mass index and control blood sugars, the press release said.

The company says it contains chromium and a patented solution of hydroxycitric acid bound to calcium and potassium which comes from a fruit in Southern Asia.

Those studied had to follow a 2,000-calorie a day diet and had to walk 30 minutes a day for five days a week.

The double-blind study included two groups, one which drank the water and another which took a placebo. Those who drank the bottled water lost an average of 10 pounds each during the study, the press release said.

The bottled water is sold in some US Target Stores and costs about $6 per six-pack.

P-Mate Revisited

Alkalarian guests who've been with HealtheMail awhile would remember the P-Mate, the device that allows women to pee standing up. Well, here's a link to a lady who road tested the device.

Climate Change water health

I had a client ask me yesterday what I felt about water filters in relation to climate change and reduced water supply. I had to think about it for awhile because it appears to me that our future planetary health is now, more than ever before, related to water.

Further, it also appears that our future water usage will depend on technology that makes the most use of water.

I've never really looked at water as something that can be 'improved', yet here was a perfect example of the future right under our noses in the Jupiter Water Alkalizer.

As you know, you have a choice of fuels to put into your car depending on what you need. Similarly, you have a choice of oils to give your engine what it specifically needs. So the idea of the Jupiter actually creating two water supplies, each better for their specific purpose than ordinary water, is technologically and ethically superior to ordinary water. Why?

Look at it this way; if you drink a litre of water to hydrate, detox and alkalize, it makes sense that a specifically designed water would work better. For one thing, it wouldn't have acids in it. For another, it'd be much more efficient at infiltrating the tissues. And if it was more oxygenated and a powerful antioxidant, then all the better! We would need less water and achieve more.

That's our alkaline water. What about our acid water?

In my last week's HealtheMail I talked about ORP, or the potential to oxidize a substance the water comes into contact with. The is exactly what the by-product acid water does! Its increased oxidizing potential makes it a great wound healer, insect bite soother, skin and hair cleanser.. plus a chemical-residue-free way of killing bacteria in the home.

What do we do now? We use a chemical to kill bacteria, then we use ordinary H2O to wash off the chemical. We are climate change unfriendly in two ways; 1) too much chemical use and 2) too much water use!

So what I realised is that the ION LIFE Jupiter water alkalizer is as climate-change friendly as can be. It is using old, proven technology to provide us with new technologically adept ways to supercharge our water use and therefore reduce it.

All we need do now is devise a way of running it without power.

Going GREEN in your drinking habits

When you begin to look at how much of the earth's most precious resource is used to create a simple drink, you can see how you can reduce your effect on the environment many, many times over. Here's an example:

How many glasses of water does it take to grow, harvest, bottle and transport one glass of orange juice?

Fifty.

Why We Should Consume at least 2 litres or H2O a day

The average human will pee 2.5 litres a day.
If you cry, you'll lose another millilitre.
You'll sweat anything from 1 to 3 litres a day.

Total = from 3.51 to 5.51 litres

How much do you drink?

Alkaline Water - Five years later and nothing much happening

We received a call from a Sydney client today with what first appeared to be a neutral result to drinking ION LIFE Water. It wasn't until we really looked at what he said that we realised how good his report was!

"Haven't noticed any dramatic changes in 5 years, but we were all well before that anyway.
We do all have more energy, and no-one in the family has been sick for 5 years"

So.. the whole family lived in Sydney and haven't been sick for five years? I'd call that RESULT!

SICKO: A Movie not to be missed.

Michael Moore, the alternative protest film maker (Bowling for Columbine, Farenheit 9/11) who upset so many people over his last film, has released his latest movie, SICKO, in the US after a real fight with the politicians weilding influence with major film distributors to block getting the movie out.

The movie takes a look at the corporations in the US that sell health insurance but do their level best to prevent paying for people when they actually get sick.

Michael asked for stories about people's health fund experiences and received 21,000 emails. The movie begins showing a 79-year old who still shows up as a supermarket cleaner because with no health insurance, it's the only way he can pay for his wife's pain killers. It goes on to demonstrate that even if you do have health insurance the companies who are supposed to support you may well kill you.

What really bowled me over was his visits to Canada, England and France where all health care is free. Happy people who believe in helping those of us less fortunate discussed how they felt about these schemes and why they believed in them. These people came from not - as I expected - a radical political background, but from conservative.

Finally, he takes three very sick 9/11 volunteers who have been denied medical help by the US Goevernment to Cuba where they receive better help than they ever received in the US.

This movie deserves to be seen by every adult Australian because it makes us realise that we've been seriously ripped off by the government over health care. And you know what really got to me? We let it happen!

Showering in Thailand

Next time you're living with a family in Bangkok, remember this fact broadcast by the local authorities.

They have informed locals not to collect water from their roofs for an hour after a shower of rain. Why? Because this is the time it takes to get the water up to a pH level that will not cause damage. Rainwater in the first hour of downpour is as acid as tomato juice.

Ouch!

Cholesterol Surprise: How I overcame my cholesterol without really trying!

We had a call from 'Jane' this week. She had consumed just two bottles of our Tropical Traditions Organic Coconut oil over last couple of months. She's always had trouble with cholesterol and had been battling to make even a small difference to her levels. Imagine her surprise when she paid a visit to her Doc. who informed her that her levels were back to perfect.

She's not the first. We have now had many people contact us with similar stories about cholesterol and thyroid levels.

We are about to receive our next batch of coco oil; it's in customs now and will arrive Monday or Tuesday. I recommend the 4 litre tub for best value; you've never tasted potato chips until you've had them in coco oil. Some people simply eat 3 tablespoons a day to lose weight. There are so many ways to integrate this wonderful health resource into daily life.

Lets pray for more rain ,we all could do with it. i will read your email now thanks Ian, your doing a good job.

Ian: Ah!! Lovely!

Laughing Mother Helps Baby's Eczema.

We all knew it was good, now it's official.

Laughter helps breast milk to fight skin allergies.

according to a study by Hajime Kimata at the Moriguchi-Keijinkai Hospital in Osaka, Japan, breastfed babies with eczema experienced less symptoms if their mothers laughed hours before feeding them,

Participating babies and some of the mothers suffered from mild atopic eczema - the most common type. By showing breastfeeding mothers either a feature length Charlie Chaplin movie or bland footage of weather information, and taking samples of breast milk at regular intervals afterwards, hajime was able to correlate the effects of laughter. Two milk feeds later, he measured babies' allergic reactions to dust mites and latex. Infants whose mothers had laughed had quite strongly reduced reactions.

Kimata also found significantly higher levels of melatonin in the mothers' milk. This hormone, known as the relaxation hormone, has reduced levels in people with eczema.

That Laughing meditation man from India is sounding smarter every day.

From issue 2608 of New Scientist magazine, 16 June 2007, page 23

Toilet Water for Drinking?

NORTH BEND, Oregon, USA. — Middle-school student Kyleray Katherman had a hunch something was amiss with the school's drinking-fountain water. And right he was.

For an English assignment, he tested the bacteria content at four water fountains and one toilet to challenge a ban on students' bringing bottled water to class. It seems some were using the bottles to sneak in alcohol.

Guess which water was cleaner? (Hint: It wasn't the water fountains.)

He then asked students where they would prefer to get their water. That wasn't the fountains, either.

Classmates, teachers, administrators and board members said they had no idea.

Katherman attends the Oregon Coast Technology School that operates at North Bend Middle School with a focus on infusing technology into all areas of study.

Katherman, 13, used Q-tips and petri dishes, swabbing the spigots of four fountains and sampling one toilet, dunking the cotton in the bowl's center and then dragging it around the rim for a complete sample.

He took the results to the school lab and put them under a light to speed up the bacteria's growth.

The petri dishes with fountain water were swarming with bacteria. The sample from the toilet was clean, probably because the toilets are doused with cleansing chemicals daily.

"I wanted to see the looks on their faces," Katherman said.

Water and Weight Loss

We are very used to our alkaline water drinking clients ringing in with tales of weight loss after beginning on our water. "And I didn't even change my diet!" they exclaim excitedly.

It isn't surpising to us. As Dr Robert O. Young and Dr Linda Frasetto say, we have come to the point where fat has become our friend and savoiur.

Fat is now sequestered to be used as our very own in-house toxic waste dump. Why? because our 'modern, advanced' society has forced us into an environment so toxic that our kidneys can't keep up with the acid onslaught. Our bodies use fat to stash excess acid waste away from the vital organs; on the bum, the belly, the underarms...

When people begin alkalizing, they very often report weight loss - and it's my own theory that this is because they have no further requirement for the fat they stashed to hold acids. Alkaline water from an ION LIFE water alkalizer is also microclustered, meaning it's much smaller in molecular size than tap water, so it starts getting into those in-house toxic waste dumps, neutralising and clearing out the acids.

So the body, that ever-alert master controller, says it's time to get rid of that excess fat, because its reason for being there is now gone!

When I see all the popular diets I sometimes wonder why no-one has realised the relationship of fat to acid waste. It's a new phenomenon - a product of our toxic life, so perhaps they just haven't caught up yet.

Of course, simply drinking water will assist weight loss. Check this article to learn more about why.

Another good article from Dr Young on Pasteurisation.

Dr. Robert O. Young, ION LIFE water user and alkaline balance pioneer is very busy writing about natural health. This article explains why pasteurisation ruins the electrical energy of the food it is applied to.

The Parasites Are Coming!

One of the many effects of climate change is drought.

One of the many effects of the drought is reduced water in water reservoirs.

One of the many effects of reduced water levels is a concentration of parasites in the remaining water.

One of the many effects of this parasite increase is the need of water authorities to increase disinfection, using chlorine.

One of the many effects of increased chlorine dosage is acidification of our water supply.

One of the many effects of acidification of our water is the leaching of lead and copper from old house's water pipes.

One of the many effects of leaching of copper and lead is accumulation of heavy metetal toxicity in people who like a drink of water first thing in the morning.

Another effect is the increase of lime (calcium carbonate) in the water by the water authorities to counter the acidifying effect of the chlorine.

One of the many effects of added lime is encrustation of kettles, hot water services and pipes causing extra electricity to be used in heating.

Another effect is the increase in calcium in water alkalizer user's output water, which, while not a bad thing, tends to coat glasses.

Summarizing, it might be a good time to inquire with us about how to reduce parasites in your water supply, how to test yourself for heavy metals, what to do about removing heavy metals from your water, and whether all this is just too much for now when all you really need is a good lie down!

Six Years On Alkaline water

Yet more reports from a happy client - this time after six years on our water!

"When my wife and I were in our early fifty's we were already experiencing ageing symptoms (arthritis, aches and pains). We purchased a Jupiter Alkalizer - that was 6 years ago now. We feel great with very few health issues - very happy."

-Chris Mikus QLD

And another from Pat!

"I have been drinking alkaline water for 3 years now and in that time my skin has toned up to the point people have noticed my wrinkles have disappeared which makes me look younger than I am. It truly is the anti-ageing drink others claim it to be. xxxxx cell xxxxxxxxx has disappeared. I have more energy; my bowel motions are now regular with aching joints now a thing of the past."

Pat Cody, NSW

You'll notice the 'xxxxx' both here and on our website page of testimonials. We now have to adhere to TGA requirements of advertising which says - as we understand it - we must not mention serious disease, even if it is in the form of a story from a user. The result is lots of ''xx's and blackouts - so you need to use your imagination. No, it wasn't Leprosy, Beriberi or Bilharzia!

Chiro Gives it all up for Alkaline water

Dr. Daniel Bettiol is leaving the profession of Chiropractic to pursue his clinically-tested belief that the primary causative factor in Headaches, Neck & Low Back pain is Dehydration of the tissues and the inability to eliminate accumulated Metabolic wastes from the body.

While treating over 3,500 patients and delivering over 120,000 chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Bettiol observed that over 90% of his patients were inadequately hydrated.

"My most consistent finding was that 100% of my chronic Headache and Low Back patients were severely dehydrated. Many of these patients acknowledged an absolute disdain for drinking water," says Dr. Bettiol. "For those patients who adopted my daily water regimen, an immediate decrease in pain symptomology was observed. That result was too consistent to be a coincidence."

Dr. Bettiol is determined to continue the work of Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, M.D., who wrote the blockbuster 1992 best-seller, Your Body’s many cries for Water. Dr. Batmanghelidj died in 2005, but his signature slogan "You are not Sick, you are Thirsty---Don’t treat thirst with Medications" lives on. "Dr. Batmanghelidj warned the public back in the 1980s that America’s thirst for Soda, Coffee, and Sugar-filled drinks would create a huge population of unhealthy and obese people," says Dr. Bettiol. "To say his prediction was accurate would be a gross understatement."

Bettiol begins his new journey with the firm opinion that ALL water is not optimum for health. His extensive research has shown that Tap, Bottled, Charcoal-filtered, Distilled and Reverse Osmosis Water is NOT the ideal Water for long-term health and healing. "America has ignored the miraculous healing being experienced by the Koreans and Japanese with Ionized Alkaline Water," says Bettiol. "Where Bill Gates vision was a computer in every home, my lifetime mission is to get an Alkaline Water Ionizer in every home throughout the world. That would not only eliminate obesity, chronic pain and the need for useless Medication, Surgery & Radiation...it would singlehandedly cut our annual $1.5 Trillion health care costs by 90%."

"I would rather people spend more time with their families, their hobbies and the work they love, than sit in a doctor’s office for four hours waiting for a Doctor visit they really DON’T NEED."

Drug Companies Laugh off Fines

Last year, US drugmakers were convicted for a total of 62 counts of breaking advertising rules, in Sweden. In 18 cases, drugmakers were fined the maximum penalty of $14,000. The number of serious cases has doubled since 2005. The companies were fined a total of about $700,000. The worst offender was Novartis, which was fined 7 times. A spokeman blamed the violations on a failure of 'internal procedures.' Richard Bergström, head of the Swedish Association of Pharmaceutical Industry, said it was clear that the current maximum fines were not a sufficient deterrent. Again, the maximum penalty was $14,000. Anyone NOT rolling on the floor howling with laughter? $14,000 maximum fine.
Only in Sweden.

What REALLY Happens to your Medicine: Confessions of a Drug Company rep

It's Not Just Australia...

In Canada people without money also have waiting problems when they get sick.
In March 2006, Mary Lou Frye had a seizure and drove off the Fraser Highway into a ditch. A CAT scan revealed a golf ball-sized tumour behind her left eye. She had surgery in May 2006, but bleeding cut the operation short, leaving part of the tumour.

She now has two tumours in her brain, but since January Frye has had her surgery postponed six times, the latest last Friday when four other neurosurgery cases were also postponed.

We are not alone in our inadequate hospital response time...
