It is now accepted that active oxygen is a cause of all illnesses. The human body is comprised of some 60 trillion cells, every cell contains in its nucleus deoxidize acid, or DNA, which provides the blueprint for how the body functions. When this DNA is damaged, it causes illness, though not always immediately. Moreover, damage to DNA speeds up the aging process. The vandal that causes this damage is active oxygen. It is critical to get rid of this active oxygen quickly by drinking Kangen water. You should also eliminate life style factors that increase the level of active oxygen, such as cigarette smoking, drinking and stress. Vigorous exercise also raises the level of active oxygen in the body. This is why athletes generally have shorter life spans. Exposure to radiation (including ultraviolet rays) also increases the level of active oxygen. When the body is injured, it goes to work quickly to try and heal itself. In order to kill bacteria, the body produces large amounts of active oxygen at the injury site. However, this active oxygen oxidizes the body and causes it to age. Anti-oxidants are compounds that remove active oxygen. The body produces its own natural anti-oxidant properties, but the most effective anti-oxidant is active hydrogen, and the substance that contains active hydrogen in greatest quantities is Kangen water. The active hydrogen in Kangen water reacts with active oxygen to produce water molecules that are very beneficial to the body and are completely harmless. Kangen water helps prevent illnesses from occurring by replacing new water already in the body with healthier water. In essence, it cleanses the body. It is perfect for the era of preventive medicine in which we now live. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has recognized the following benefits of Kangen water:

1. Abnormal Gastrointestinal Fermentation in the Digestive Tract
2. Chronic Diarrhea
3. Indigestion
4. Acid Indigestion

Many physicians have commented on television and in newspaper articles about the many benefits of Kangen water for combating life style related illnesses like cancer, diabetes and dermatitis.
 

The following are some of the TV programs in recent years that have shown examples of using Kangen water in medical treatment:
 

1. Kangen water used to help heal gangrene in the lower limbs caused by diabetes
2. Kangen water heals severe decades-old case of atopic dermatitis
3. Cancer goes into remission after patient begins drinking Kangen

More and more hospitals are using Kangen water as part of treatment programs, and more and more papers are being published documenting the treatment benefits.
 

Some of the hospitals that now use Kangen water include:

1. Kyowa Hospital (Hyogo Prefecture)

2. Kitari Institute Medical Center

3. Showa University Hospital, KantoTeishin Hospital

4. Meiseki Hospital, Nara Prefecture College of Medicine Hospital

5. Iida Hospital (Nagano Prefecture)

6. Tokyo Women’s College of Medicine Hospital and

7. Hanabatake Hospital (Kagoshima Prefecture)

However, while there are a great many water electrolyzers on the market, only a few have been approved as medical accessory devices by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
 

Clinical experience has shown, according to published findings, that Kangen water brought about improvement in a number of conditions that did not respond to pharmaceutical treatment, including hypertension, asthma, lipid metabolism abnormalities, kidney disease, digestive disorders and liver disorders. In addition, media reports indicate that Professor Shirahata of Kyushu University has experimentally verified that Kangen water inhibits replication of cancer cells.
 

Water electrolyzers (for alkaline and acid water) should be standard equipment today in every household.

Clinical Uses of Kangen Water in Hospital Treatment

1. Rapid reduction in blood sugar levels in diabetes patients
   
   One of the fundamental treatments for diabetic patients is, of course, dietary treatment, sometimes, though, dietary treatment alone is not enough. Dietary changes may not lower blood sugar levels as much as expected. Hospital observed that about 80% of diabetic patients who started intake of Kangen water showed lower levels of blood sugar within two weeks. This made it possible to reduce the amount of diabetic treatment medication administered.
    
2. Rapid healing of gangrene (of the lower limbs) due to diabetes
   
   At least two diabetics with lower limb gangrene that had not shown signs of responding despite months of pharmaceutical treatment surpisingly were observed to have been completely cured of gangrene within one month after starting intake of Kangen water.
    
3. Rapid normalization of high uric acid levels in respiratory patients.
   
   This hospital observed a decline in and normalization of uric levels anywhere from two to four weeks after starting intake of Kangen water.
    
4. Rapid improvement in patients with hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver
   
   Kangen water intake is believed to be effective in treating both acute and chronic hepatitis and in treating cirrhosis of the liver. A representative case for this hospital was that of a 60 year old male patient. Improvement was noted in his hepatitis cirrhosis one month after starting intake of Kangen water. Thereafter, all treatments with medications, IVs' and diet were discontinued, and after six months of Kangen water intake as the sole treatment, liver functioning had returned completely to normal.
    
5. Rapid healing of stomach and duodenal ulcers
   
   It is no exaggeration to say that intake of Kangen water produced dramatic improvements in patients with stomach and duodenal ulcers, a particularly striking case is described below:
   
   A 40 year old patient had endured repeated attacks of duodenal ulcers over a 12-year period. One night the patient was transported to the hospital by ambulance after profusely vomiting blood. The patient was immediately admitted, and a blood transfusion of 1000cc was administered along with supplemental fluids. After fasting, the patient was permitted to drink 1-2 liters of Kangen water per day. Within a week after admission, improvement was noted. An inspection with a gastric camera showed no remaining ulceration, only indications of healing. The result surprised the hospital director, who personally attended the testing, as well as the patient. What is especially noteworthy is the great number of cases in which there has been no recurrence of ulceration as long as Kangen water intake continues. This is definitely a finding that merits attention.
    
6. Rapid improvement in high and low blood pressure levels
   
   It is not unusual for patients who have had high blood pressure for many years to find that their blood pressure returns to normal within anywhere from a week to a month when they drink Kangen water. Here it is necessary to cite the personal experience of one hospital director. "For several years, I suffered from high blood pressure, obesity, and high cholesterol. It was especially bad considering that I'm a doctor myself. But after I started taking Kangen water, these conditions remarkably improved quickly. Today, my blood pressure is 120-70, and my blood work and liver function test values are all within normal ranges."
   
   I'm acquainted with a woman in her 20s who had low blood pressure and a cold body constitution. Even in the middle of the summer, she had to sleep under thick blankets. Within a week after starting to drink Kangen water, her chilling disappeared and her blood pressure returned to normal."
    
7. Improvements in asthmas, skin rashes, atopic dermatitis, and nasal allergies
   
   One female patient suffered from atopic dermatitis from shortly after birth until age 26. She had tried fasting, a brown rice vegetatian diet, germanium, and a variety of other treatments, all to no avail. Her dermatologist even refused to continue seeing her. Just a month after she began drinking Kangen water, the condition was 80% resolved. This same hospitial has seen a number of other cases of improvement in childhood asthma, skin rashes and pollen allergies after patient started drinking Kangen water.
    
8. Improvement in nervous diarrhea
   
   One 16 year old male high schol student had suffered from chronic diarrhea for years, with no relief from any pharmaceutical treatment. He needed to go to the toilet so often that he could not even ride the commuter train to school. However, his condition improved dramatically just two weeks after he started drinking Kangen water.
    
9. Improvement in post-surgical chronic diarrhea
   
   A 40 year old male patient had suffered from frequent diarrhea for seven years. After emergency surgery to remove his ulcerated duodenum, his condition had not responded to any drugs, but just two weeks after starting to drink Kangen water, his fecal composition and his frequency of defecation returned to normal.
    
10. Improved kidney functioning
    
    Instances of dramatic improvement have been observed in cases of chronic nephritis and impaired kidney functioning after patients started drinking alkaline water.
     
11. Dramatic reduction in incidence of newborn infant jaundice
    
    The Obstetrics Department of one hospital began using Kangen water to mix powdered infant formula for newborn infants starting in May of 1985. Since that time, there have been virtually no cases of abnormal serum bilirubin in newborns. In other words, the incidence of new born infant jaundice has gone down dramatically. In light of this result, obstetricians should promptly look into using Kangen water with their patients.
     
12. Rapid improvement in toxicity during pregnancy
    
    A patient who had to be hospitalized for toxicity during her sixth month of pregnancy recovered completely about one week after beginning ingestion of Kangen water, and was ultimately able to carry the pregnancy to full term.
     
13. Menstrual difficulties
    
    One young woman patient suffered from menstrual difficulties throughtout her teens and into her early 20s. She went to a number of doctors hoping she could find even light relief, but all of them told her it was a matter of physical constitution, and that there was nothing they could do. However, the hospital Director was aware of Kangen water and had confirmed its benefits, so he encouraged the patient to drink Kangen water. Just two months after starting with Kangen water, the patient's menstrual cycle had become regular, and her menstrual cramps had greatly improved. There have been a number of other similar cases at this hospital since that time.
    
    Recently, there are more reports of women with cramps and other menstrual difficulties in their teens and 20s. Perhaps this is a result of chronic tension from our high-stress society, or of changes in dietary patterns. There are also more reports of women experiencing problems at the time of menopause as well. It is a fact that microrganisms in the disgestive tract also secrete female hormones. A number of people believe that in light of this fact, women with these problems should be encouraged to drink Kangen water.
