The Magnet: A Natural Water Filter
Water is one of nature’s best solvents. The human body is made up of over
70% water. It helps cells to absorb the food you eat and then distribute
the energy and nutrients throughout your entire body. Hanne Gent of the
Natural Health Network reminds us that water is essential to the proper
functioning of the body’s metabolism (www.naturalhealth.co.za).
Unfortunately, much of the water consumed today isn’t at all ideal for
our
body. The Environmental Protection Agency lists some of the pollutants
found in most drinking water: radioactive contaminants, industrial waste,
pesticides, herbicides, lead, cadmium, asbestos, detergent, chlorine,
fluoride, bacteria, rust, minerals, soap, copper, paint, and so on
(epa.com). It is this same water hardening your pipes that can also lead to
hardening your arteries.
However, after doing some research as to how water effects the human body, I
found that both the effects from these pollutants as well as the effects of
magnetized water are in many times too small to notice on a daily basis. I
gained a baseline of information from a 24 year-old male who exercises on a
regular basis. He has been maintaining an exercise schedule, where he
alternates days of lifting and running, for about five months. In order to
look at one variable, I focused on running. For nine days the individual
maintained his alternating routine, only documenting the five days of
running. Documentation included a questionnaire regarding the individual’s
energy level, mood, nutritional intake for the day, and a question asking
how long it took the individual to overcome the “initial wall of exhaustion”
during his run. After a five-day baseline was achieved, he was then asked
to document an additional five days of running while drinking a quart of
magnetized water prior to each run. I wanted to look at whether the
magnetized water would alter the individual’s running performance. I chose
the initial wall of exhaustion as a variable to focus on because it was
measurable in minutes, always existent during a run, and tremendously
apparent to the individual. Initially, I regarded the results of the study
to be somewhat disappointing considering the individual participating in the
case study didn’t feel any different after running with magnetized water.
What I have since realized is the importance of understanding the effects of
magnetized water on the body from a much larger perspective; a perspective
that focuses on maintaining the future health of your body. I would bet that
further study of the topic, focusing more on the physiological effects of
magnetized water would create a larger perspective by helping us to
understand the tiny changes occurring in our bodies.
Therefore I think it is important to remember and better understand what is
happening to our earth’s water when it enters the body in order to assess
what can be done.
Water naturally picks up and carries hard minerals. During the ride to your
house, they tend to detach from the water and form hard rock scale
throughout your pipes. After attaching a magnet to your pipe, the water
takes on a greater electrical charge then the minerals. This creates an
attraction between the water and mineral – locking them together. Locking
them together reduces the size of the molecules. This softens your water
and increases its solvency, which in turn will cut down on your soap and
detergent expenses.
Dr. Michael Tierra discusses how magnetizing water (with the negative pole)
restores your body’s natural cellular balance. The natural progression
of
degeneration in the human body is inevitable. Current theories describing
the concept of free radicals explain how negatively charged electrons spin
out of their orbit, invading other cells which in turn cause cellular chaos
(www.planetherbs.com). You are unable to restore cells in your body which
have already spun out of control, however, by using the negative pole to
magnetize your water, you are able to maintain the balance of your body’s
energy and natural magnetic fields. Magnetizing water is one of the most
healthy, easy, and non-invasive solutions to maintaining a healthy body.
The negative pole of a magnet produces a neutral, alkaline-like, calming
effect which reduces acidity in your body. Magnetized water increases
mineral solubility so your body can more readily digest them. When minerals
are easily digested it also makes it easier for the blood to distribute the
nutrients from them. This means that the tissue receiving the blood has
more oxygen and nutrients. Also, because the magnetized water flowing
through your body is soft, clean and pure it has the potential to prevent
buildup inside of your arteries much the same as it does in your pipes at
home.
Let me conclude by reviewing several of the benefits seen from using
magnetized water.
*improved digestion
*eliminates waste and toxin
*strengthens immune response
*reduces excess acidity
*reduces cholesterol levels – prevents arteriosclerosis
*helps blood circulation –prevents varicose veins
Research on magnetized water is a substantial step toward increasing our
nation’s knowledge and maintaining our nation’s health. The information
is
out there, waiting to be read. I encourage you to read more, ask questions,
and be skeptical of the answers many companies will give you in their
attempt to sell you their product.
