What is Kangen Water?

Kangen is a Japanese word that means “return to original”. Kangen water has been used in Japan for
over 40 years and has been proven to help restorative properties. When tested for ORP (oxidizing
reduction potential) opposite of acidic.

Kangen Water is achieved by setting the Enagic water ionizer’s settings to 8.5, 9 and 9.5

How is the water made?

The process for making the water is very simple. The machine connects to your faucet, you turn on
the power, and Kangen water flows out. The regular tap water is initially purified by the internal
filter and then ionized via electrolysis. The machine can produce both alkaline (hydrogen-rich) and
acidic (oxygen-rich) water.

Kangen water keeps you hydrated and has a pure, fresh taste. It tastes better than any water you’ve
ever had.

Better yet, you can make as much of it as you want, saving you dollar after dollar that you would be
spending on bottled water that is just no substitute.

What has the Japanese research shown?

Kangen water has been tested by medical researchers and is a proven approach to preventive
action. Preventative action is a proactive process intended to prevent potential concerns before
they occur or become severe. The Japanese Ministry of Health – the equivalent of the FDA in the US
 – is unbelievably strict. They reject application after application for pharmaceutical drugs, yet they
have approved the Enagic Kangen water unit as a medical device. This isn’t just an appliance for your
home, it’s a medical device.

Enagic is recommended by the Japanese Association for Preventive Medicine for Adult Disease – a
nationwide organization made up of 6,600 physicians. This is non-profit organization that endorses
products and technologies that address lifestyle related diseases such as osteoporosis, diabetes,
cancer, high cholesterol, hypertension, etc. This organization is known for its long and thorough
selection process. When it comes to electrolyzed water makers, they’ve chosen Enagic.

How can I use Kangen water?

 Drinking Water – For hydration and to promote healthy colon function

 Making Supplements More Effective – Kangen Water has excellent dissolving, extracting and
anti-oxidizing properties which enhance the effectiveness of dietary supplements.
 Toning Skin – The Enagic device produces mild acid (pH 5.5) water that is an effective skin toner
for a healthy, radiant complexion.
 After Alcohol Consumption – Drink Kangen water to neutralize the acidity of alcoholic
beverages, this prevents hangovers. Make Kangen water ice cubes to serve with drinks. Drink
Kangen water in sufficient quantities before bed to prevent a morning hangover.
 Drink with Meals – Help balance the pH of the meals you consume by drinking Kangen water
with foods like meat, egg yolks, white bread, etc.
 Brewing Coffee and Tea – Kangen water prevents tannins that are present in strong tea, this
causes a bitter taste. Using Kangen water allows the tea to infuse completely, for a richer taste.
Use half the coffee you normally use to brew a great tasting pot of aromatic coffee.
 Cooking – Soak meats and vegetables to eliminate offensive smells and tastes – such as in
onions and game meats. Kangen water preserves the vivid colors and flavors of vegetables such
as spinach and greens. The rich natural flavors will eliminate the need for sodium-dense stocks
and seasonings. Kangen water also conducts heat more effectively than tap water, cutting
cooking times by as much as 30%.
 Cut Flowers and Plants - Water your plants with Kangen water and they will be healthier.
Prolong the freshness of cut flowers. Enhance the seeding and germination for plants such as
roses with the acidic water you can produce with the Enagic unit.
 Pets - Eliminate unpleasant pet odors that emanate from their bodies and their waste. Pets also
experience the same health benefits from drinking Kangen water.
  Artists and Painters - Kangen water is exceptional for mixing paints. Mix colors that are more
vibrant with a smoother texture. Brushes will glide over surfaces.
 Antibacterial Cleanser - Enagic’s super acidic water is a safe and natural antibacterial cleanser
that kills 99.9% of bacteria on contact. Use as a throat spray to prevent colds. Can be used as a
safe, alternative disinfectant for bathrooms, baby areas and toys.
 All-Purpose Cleaner - Enagic’s super alkaline water can be used as a natural, chemical free agent
for cleaning glass, tiles and benches, etc.
 The Greatest Benefit - Improved Colon Health. Free radicals account for 70% of
chronic diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. A large portion of these free radicals
are created in the colon. When the body is dehydrated the dangers are multiplied
every day it remains in this state. Disease is encouraged and health declines when
free radicals are produced in the colon, which is further exacerbated when the body
is inadequately hydrated.

What do the Experts say?

Hiromi Shinya, MD, Director, Shinya Medical Clinic, New York.

Dr. Hiromi Shinya designed and developed a life-saving medical tool for the endoscopic
treatment of polyps. Without requiring use of surgery, his revolutionary “Shinya Method”
has become widely used in colonoscopies, the standard screening for the leading, non-
tobacco related cancer killer in the US, colon cancer. Dr. Shinya is world renowned in
performing intestinal-related procedures, and is known to have examined more than
300,000 stomachs and large intestines, and has performed nearly 100,000 polypectomies.

"It is widely recognized in the medical profession that a healthy and clean colon is one of
the most important precursors to good health and that the great majority of body ailments
and diseases originate in an acidic and dirty colon. Water is essential for your health.
Drinking “good water;" especially hard water which has much calcium and magnesium
keeps your body at an optimal alkaline PH."
Dr Theodore Baroody, Author, „Alkalize or Die‟
"I have administered over 5000 gallons of this water for about every health situation
imaginable. I feel that restructured alkaline water can benefit everyone."

Felicia Drury Climent, Author of „The Acid Alkaline Balance Diet’,

Adjunct Professor, City College, New York

"After years of very positive continuous clinical experiments that I am conducting with
hundreds of clients using electronically restructured alkaline water, it is my opinion that this
technology will change the way in which all health providers and the public will approach
their health in the coming years...My suggestion is to drink restructured alkaline water
whenever possible."

Sherry Rogers, MD, Author and Lecturer

Sherry Rogers, MD, is a Fellow of the American College of Allergy and Immunology and a
Diplomate of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine. She has published multiple
scientific articles, authored 13 books including her most recent, „The High Blood Pressure
Hoax,‟ „Detoxify or Die‟ and „Pain Free‟ and was the environmental editor for Internal
Medicine World Report. Dr. Rogers has appeared on numerous television and radio
programs, and writes monthly articles for health magazines, plus her own newsletter, "Total
Wellness."

"Alkaline water rids the body of acid waste... After carefully evaluating the results of
my advice to hundreds of individuals, I'm convinced that toxicity in the form of acidic
waste is the primary cause of degenerative disease."
Susan Lark, MD, University lecturer, Author of ‘The Chemistry of Success’, says:

"Drinking four to six glasses of alkaline water a day will help to neutralize over
acidity and over time will help to restore your buffering ability. Alkaline water should be
used when conditions of over acidity develop, such as cold, flu or bronchitis. Like vitamins
C, E and Beta Carotene, alkaline water acts as an antioxidant because of its excess
supply of free electrons. This can help the body against the development of heart
disease, strokes, immune dysfunctions, and other common ailments."

David Niven Miller, MA Anti-aging expert and author of „Grow Youthful’

“Ionised alkaline water gives you an additional source of oxygen, provided in a body-friendly
way. The effect is similar to deep breathing, exercise or sleeping in fresh air. Oxygen is an
important degenerative disease treatment, and anti-ageing therapy. Insufficient oxygen
leads to many degenerative diseases”

Harald Tietze, Author of „Youthing’

Popular natural health lecturer, researcher and writer. Tietze grew up in a German city
originally named "Herbolis", he learned about herbs from his father who was also an
accomplished herbalist. Tietze is author of over 30 health books. His work is translated into
19 languages.

Flushing out wastes with ionized alkaline water.

Robert O. Young, PhD, Author of „The pH Miracle’

"The pH level (the acid-alkaline measurement) of our internal fluids affects every cell in our
bodies. Extended acid imbalances of any kind are not well tolerated by the body. Indeed,
the entire metabolic process depends on a balanced internal alkaline environment. A
chronically over-acidic pH corrodes body tissue, slowly eating into the 60,000 miles of veins
and arteries like acid eating into marble. If left unchecked, it will interrupt all cellular
activities and functions, from the beating of your heart to the neural firing of your brain. In
summary, over-acidification interferes with life itself leading to all sickness and disease!"

Dr Hidemitsu Hayashi, Director of the Water Institute, Tokyo,

"Bad diets such as meat and potatoes, fried foods, soft drink colas, and sugars build up acid
salts in the body. Often these deposits, by having to be stored away from the blood flow,
can remain in the body for decades. I recommend the consumption of ionized alkaline
water, which will slowly and gently wash these salts away."

Christoper Vasey N.D., Author of „The Water Prescription’

A naturopath specializing in detoxification and rejuvenation says:

"The hydrating capacity of water can be enhanced by adding a structuring agent. The
structuring formula is composed of ionic minerals that organize and reduce the water
molecules, holding them together in small clusters, to facilitate their flow through the cell
membranes."
Annie Padden Jubb and David Jubb, Authors of „Secrets of an Alkaline Body’

"As long as the body has adequate oxygen and the body fluid and tissue have an
acid/alkaline balance, amazing health ensues. It's actually very simple."

How do I get rid of acid waste?

The best way to rid your body of acidic waste, a product of the foods you eat is to drink Kangen water
because it has negative ORP – Active hydrogen neutralizes active oxygen, or free radicals that cause
aging and disease.

Kangen water is micro-clustered and easily absorbed to keep your body hydrated. It can actually wash
away the acid waste built up over years of metabolizing food. It will help you create and alkaline buffer
in your blood so that the acidic foods you eat are neutralized. It will eliminate toxins from the colon
because it is so easily absorbed. Kangen water can penetrate the body’s cell membranes to carry oxygen
in and wastes out. You can do this by drinking eight glasses of Kangen water a day.

What is pH?
 Human blood normally has a pH of 7.4. Anything below this level is too acid and anything above it is
too alkaline. The body has a narrow range of acceptable pH level for adequate functioning of its
enzyme supported systems. If your blood pH was outside of this 7.0 to 7.6 range, you’d be dead.

How can I reverse aging?

The answer is simply, water, Kangen water to be exact. In Sang Whang’s book, Reverse Aging, this
subject is covered in-depth. To summarize:

 Metabolizing food causes acid waste

 Organic acid waste lowers the pH of the blood

 Inorganic alkaline minerals act to buffer acid waste to maintain optimal blood pH

 Micro-clustered, alkaline water permeates the cell membranes and washes away acid
that is built-up in the body while creating an alkaline buffer in the bloodstream

How does the body create acid waste and what effect does it have on my body?

It doesn’t matter what kind of foods you eat, health food, junk food, ethnic foods,
they all create organic acid waste. Food is made up of protein, fat and carbohydrates.
These components are made up of nitrogen, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. Carbs do not
contain nitrogen. A whopping 97% of all foods we eat are made up of these four elements.
The remaining 3 % is made up of inorganic minerals including sulfur, chlorine sodium
potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and phosphorus. These inorganic minerals are
divided into two categories:

1. Alkaline forming minerals – Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron.

Magnesium, for example is essential to muscle functioning including the most
important muscle in the body, the heart.
2. Acid forming minerals – Sulfur, phosphorous, chlorine and iodine. Chlorine, for
example is essential to make the stomach acid that digests our food (hydrochloric
acid).

When we metabolize food we create the following acid wastes:

Acetic Acid
Lactic Acid
Cholesterol
Carbonic Acid
Ammonia
Uric Acid
Fatty Acid

You might believe if you eat low or no cholesterol foods that your body will be free of it. This
is a myth. Lactic and acetic acids will dramatically lower the pH of your body‟s fluids. If your
blood contains too much of these acids, it‟s pH will plummet, triggering the buffering system
that uses alkaline minerals. If there aren‟t enough alkaline minerals such as bicarbonates in
your blood the body will leach calcium from your bones.

You can neutralize these acids by solidifying them. This is cholesterol. So, even if you eat
foods low in cholesterol, your body still makes it as a by-product of the body‟s attempt to
balance its pH. Then cholesterol builds in your circulatory system as plaque on the artery
walls. This is the main cause of strokes and heart attacks.
Other acids create a host of other debilitating diseases:

 Arthritis and gout are caused by undissolved uric crystals that accumulate in your
joints

 Lack of exercise and eating too many carbs causes a build up of acetic acid, lactic
acid and cholesterol which are derived from fatty acids

 Lactic acid and acetic acids are derived from incompletely burned carbs, this is
caused by a lack of oxygen in your muscles due to intense exercise

 Phosphoric acid causes kidney stones – some people confuse kidney stones with
excess calcium but this can be tested, because calcium deposits dissolve in acidic
urine, but kidney stones dissolve in an alkaline solution.

If acid wastes aren‟t flushed out of your body, they will accumulate, causing problems. But,
there is a solution…

KANGEN WATER!

Did you know that the average human holds between five and ten pounds of putrefied
debris and fecal matter in the colon? When you drink a healthy quantity of Kangen water,
every day, will cleanse your colon of this debris and rid your body of acid waste built up
from metabolizing your food. Once your body is free of this disease causing waste, you will
look and feel better from your insides out!

A key element is your body‟s ability to absorb the water that will flush out toxins. From its
renowned oxidation-reducing potential, smaller clusters of water molecules and its alkalinity
– Kangen is the very best water for you body. It absorbs better than tap or even bottled
water, giving your body the ability to flush out toxins and rid itself of acid waste build up.

Good health starts with a clean digestive system – from consumption to elimination. Kangen
water is your first and elemental step towards health and longevity.
