Conventional wisdom dictates that people should consume at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily for good health, which makes sense in light of the fact that the human body is made up of about 75 percent water. But the importance of adequate water intake extends far beyond just avoiding dehydration as clean water may be perhaps the most important “nutrient” for effective detoxification and cancer prevention.
From the perspective of healthy digestion, water is critical to keep things moving. It pushes food along through the intestinal tract while helping to keep the gut lubricated and flexible. Water also helps flush toxins from the digestive tract, preventing their buildup and any resultant disease, most notably cancer of the colon.
Water also provides nourishment for the body’s cellular system, serving as a primary foundational component of the very structure of cells. Everything from body temperature to nutrient synthesis to toxin elimination to joint maintenance is regulated by cells, which absolutely must have optimal water intake in order to perform such duties in the interest of life.
According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), water creates saliva used for digestion, maintains proper membrane moisture levels, promotes the growth, survival, and reproduction of cells; flushes waste (mainly in the form of urine), and lubricates joints. It also aids in the manufacture of hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain, controls body temperature through sweating and respiration, protects the structural integrity of the brain and spinal cord, converts and breaks down food for nutrition, and delivers oxygen throughout the body.
Water and Cancer Prevention
Water also helps protect the vital organs, specifically bladder, colon, and breast tissue, against cancer. Research published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology reveals that water intake is inversely related to each of these types of cancer; meaning the more water a person drinks, the less likely he or she is to develop these potentially fatal conditions.
Israeli researchers evaluated a series of studies looking at fluid intake in relation to cancer and discovered that maintaining optimal hydration is essential for thwarting this increasingly common disease. One study identified a statistically significant correlation between high fluid intake and decreased risk of bladder cancer among nearly 50,000 participants.
“When fluid intake was modeled as a continuous variable, the risk of bladder cancer decreased by 7% for every increment of 240 mL in daily fluid intake,” the study review explains. “Study participants in the highest quintile of fluid intake had a 49% lower incidence of bladder cancer than those in the lowest quintile.”
Corresponding research identified elevated fluid intake as a detractor in the risk of adenocarcinoma of the colon in middle-aged men and women. Participants who drank at least five glasses of water daily were found to have a significantly reduced risk of colon cancer compared to those who drank two glasses of water or less daily.
“This suggests that increased water intake may have an important role in reducing colon cancer risk by decreasing bowel transit time, reducing the mucosal contact with carcinogens, and decreasing the concentration of carcinogens,” reports the Journal of Clinical Oncology paper.
Most people don’t realize that a deficiency in this key “nutrient” can cause so many ailments, including cancer. Are you drinking enough water, and doing so every day? Share this with friends to make sure they do!
I saw a video with someone that had a reverse osmosis water system. Is it available. It was bout $200 how can I find info.
Thank you
Reverse osmosis water is acidic. I drank distilled water for 30 years. My hip collapsed at 44 yrs old due to injury. I had a HR in 2012 at 47. Enagic Kangen Water found me 1 yr 9 mo’s after HR. I bet that if I had Kangen Water in my life prior to my injury it would of healed with out needing a HR.
Sonia, in my research, I have discovered that reverse osmosis lets pesticides and other harmful chemicals through the filter due to the fact that tap water is made up of huge clusters of water molecules (we are currently drinking reverse osmosis water). We are expecting the delivery of an Enagic water machine that filters and ionizes the water. Truly a better choice! Do some research on Kangen water!
I have been using one for approx. 12 months – I cannot drink any other water, all my family love it , and I can feeling it hydrating m body without all the harmful chemicals that are in tap and bottled water 😉
I’ve had the Kangen water machine for 3 years now. It’s great. Enjoy
The best choice you can make to drink Kangen water!!
Kangen water is the best choice you can make!!
Where do you find Kangen water since it is the best choice?
I do not agree with that choice, preferring strongly the Echo water machine for many reasons. What speaks to one person may not speak to another, so doing the homework and seeing what speaks to you is a good plan for such an important topic.

I own a Kangen Water Filter but heard recently that you should not drink it close to meal times as it inhibits the digestion of food. Is this true?
Deb, you are correct. You should not drink it immediately before, during, or within 2 hours after meals.
There are a lot of misleading, sales based comments on this thread. My original comment “Your information was likely from sources that have a product to sell (Kangen)” was meant for Mr. George, Jr. It did not get posted that way, and therefore was out of context. The people who bash reverse osmosis water have something to sell, or want to feel good about their own purchase of a different system.
NoWaterCompares.com
I have been drinking distilled water for over 15 years. it has a different taste.
Reverse Osmosis is not a good choice of water. It is “dead” water void of any life.
Your best bet is slightly alkaline ionized negatively charge water further treated with MRET device for optimal hydration.
RO water is wasteful for every liter produced for drinking, 2 liters down the drain. The process removes all minerals and is acidic, something we are trying to reverse in our bodies.
Arne
Paramedic/plumber
Absolutely true about RO water, also wasteful and expensive. People should research Pi mag water – alkaline, ionised, magnetised and mineralised – and a fraction of the cost of acidic bottled water – see also a short you tube video called “Tap Water is Poisonous” which recommends the same. Happy to assist with further info, if required.
how about Berkyey
I have been using water structuring units for 3 years now. I use them at home, office, and on vacation. I didn’t get sick since then and my energy level is unbelievable. I use them for vine, cooking, and to filter all fluids. I feel dramatic improvement in my health.
just google reverse osmosis filter…there are plenty
“According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), water creates saliva used for digestion, maintains proper membrane moisture levels, …..” Is the USGS really publishing comments on human biology?
The Kangen machines have 3-5 year warranties, use medical 99.9 grade titanium solid plates, the company has been around for over 40 years and financing makes it easy to have continuous healthy clean water in your home! Please be cautious about the “lifetime” warranties out there. Get it in writing. Ask questions! Rmember, an internet site can disappear at a moment’s notice. But once the model number changes on these, the warranty is usually void- the models typically change very often. Enagic’s SD501 is a flagship model that has been around for decades. The best in the industry and includes a business plan if you want to pursue this as a career. Email me with more questions at tietzrwer@sbcglobal.net. NOTE: Citi-Simplicity Card has 0% interest for up to 21 months, no fees. APR is 10.99% to 21.99% thereafter. $68/minimum monthly for a SD-501 (1.5% of balance). Call (800)456-4277 to apply. Each case is individually evaluated for credit worthiness, length of employment and debt to loan ratio. Ask for priority processing b/c it normally takes 7 to 10 days to process (888)201-4523 for application status.
the filter will not supply any filtered water without electricity. not every water supply has the same mineral content, so the pH range any ionizing machine will vary accordingly.
I’d advise research for yourself. loads of info on the web.
plus how do feel about MLMs ?
I was told that nothing removes fluoride except reverse osmosis. What filter system does Kangen water use?
I don’t know about Kangen fluoride approach, but the system I use removes 50-60% and offers a free first pre-filter to go with the Echo unit to remove the rest of the fluoride if that is an issue for any customer. In other words, there are multiple vendors that can remove the fluoride – keep an open mind and find out why many people like myself would never choose reverse osmosis approach. Water is such a crucial topic for health and is worth spending time doing the homework.
Pure Clean water, only 2.5% of our worlds water is potable according to the United Nations, and some Cities, Provinces and Countries continue to poison residents by adding Hydrofluorosilicic & fluorosilicic Acid as fluoridation, containing lead, arsenic and other known to be harmful neurotoxins. We need to have fluoridation ended so our families, children and everyone including our environment can be healthy. Our Health Authorities and elected representatives are failing us everywhere.
Well put, Emile.
Distill the water using a home solar water distiller: many plans are available on the internet for Do It Yourself (DIY) people.
If you feel you need to add minerals, vitamins, or anything to that water, you can do that once the water is totally purified by solar distillation.
Hydration is KEY! As seen in Episode 7… Find out here why Dr Igor Smirnov’s MRET-water, i-H20 Activation System – the most profound hydration technology available today, has become a global must-have wellness solution… Wholesale pricing is now available!!!
I have been using a Multi-Pure solid carbon block water Purifier. For about 20 years now and the water is certified by independent laboratories to remove 99.9 percent of contaminants while leaving the good minerals in our water. It’s made of stainless steel ,fits under your sink,and has a separate faucet so you only purify the water used for cooking and drinking..I replace the carbon block about once a year. It also removes all the chlorine so if you have city water, you keep that Poison out of your body. Don’t purchase ANY system that doesn’t give you proof from an Independent lab (In Writing !) as to what it does and does not remove from your water. Good Luck & God Bless. Jack Kernochan
We recently purchased a Kangen system. It was very expensive, but it had been the best investment to our families health ever! My son loves it!
Look at Aquasana online. They have affordable reverse osmosis systems, and good tech support and customer service.
Where can I find this water filtration in Ontario Canada?
Yes Kangen has its claims, but for those who cannot afford the Kangen machine, due to cost, you might want to search your area for a retailer supplier who sells 3,5 and 6 gallon bottles of alkaline water. You might also want to go back about three series and review the device that was discussed. You might also want to research Structured water and its benefits:
Super hydration
• Help neutralize toxins
• Enhance life
• Eliminates itchy skin from chlorinated water
• Reduces hard mineral build-up
• Increased oxygen in the water
• Increased absorption of nutrients
• Healthier skin and hair

• Helps clean water memory
• Greater sense of well-being
• Healthier, happier pets with less stress
• Less infections and disease in house and garden plants
• Healthier bigger plants (20-40% increased biomass)
• Up to a 30% reduction of water needed for yard and garden (depending on soil)
• Hardy plants that are more resistant to drought, heat, and freezing conditions

You cannot fully detoxify if the water itself contains toxins. You need clean water void of fluorosilicic acid, sodium fluoride, compounds of mercury, lead, arsenic, etc. , and free of bacteria. Your water should not smell of anything.
They are common! Pick up at many stores, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Costco. Amazon. Do a google search!!
The Echo9 Water filter has molecular hydrogen. It reverses the cathode and the iode at every use and produces the hydrogen (pH is not the important part, it is the hydrogen). Kangen is good except if you don’t clean the minerals every two weeks, you are not producing the molecular hydrogen. We purchased an Aquasana system as an interim water filter while we were saving up for the Echo. Now that we have been drinking Echo9 water for 3 months, I can’t drink the Aquasana water anymore. Definitely becoming a water snob. Visit robertswater.com
sonia, My family has been drinking Pi Mag water made by Nikken for 16 years, the unit is called “Waterfall” it is very affordable $249 and provides ultra filtered water with minerals and is magnetized to break down the water into micro clusters so that the water can hydrate your body at the cellular level.
Your information was likely from sources that have a product to sell (Kangen). Reverse Osmosis water is one of only 2 types of filtration that gets out all contaminants. Steam distillation is a different method that separates the water from the residues and you also end-up with pure water. If you want to ionize your water that’s fine, but you will still have fluoride in your Kangen water if it is in your municipal water supply, unless it is filtered out by either of the 2 mentioned methods.
No filtration system can remove all contaminants, especially the Fluoride ion.
Only solar distilled water gives you pure, unadulterated, best hydration water you can drink.
I have been drinking distilled water since 2009 and remain healthy to this day.
The patented i-H2O Activation System (MRET-Water) is the most profound hydration technology available today. This Global must-have solution creates an ultra hydrating super liquid. See Dr Igor Smirnov’s interview from The Truth About Cancer documentary here and so much more… giawellnes.ca/susanjohnson/products/aqua-gia/i-h2o/
we have a sand point well (shallow) surrounded by pesticide sprayed farmland all around us in the midwest. what system would be best for us to drink? I also keep a live sourdough starter so the water needs some life in it, too.
I had my second heart attack 14 months ago and spent an entire year with chronic constipation using laxatives to keep any movement going. I purchased an Enagic Kangen water device two months ago and the water has solved my constipation problem and my general health has also improved. I highly recommend that everyone get properly hydrated!!
I’m not sure Kangen water is the best choice – they’ve have a few lawsuits. The water is ‘electricuted’ as there is electricity involved. It has been linked to heart arrhythmias. Plus it is expensive considering it’s not the best choice out there. I use a Cerra water pitcher instead.
I don’t know why you’re not posting my comments. I’m a naturopathic doctor and patients need to hear the real truth about Kangen water. Yes water is essential but for prople to be sold on a marketing ploy for kangen water is not right. Ty would want the truth here.
Please email me if you have any issues.
Hi! I am not sure if you have been talk about ozonite water and silver colloidal water?
What I have found about those two liquids feels like very effective and important!
How do I find research and articles that are unbiased about the best water treatment out there? I do not want to be sold a product, I want the information so I can make the decision myself. Can anyone without a vested interest in their product point me to some resources?
Hi Amy, There are many good ‘waters’ to choose from. I can’t help you there. Yet once you decide on the best water for you and your family, for optimal absorption, the water needs to be Single File Aligned as discussed in the interview with Dr. Igor Smirnov in Episode 7. The patented MRET-water technology stands alone. There is nothing on the market that compares. We don’t sell or suggest which water you chose for your family. You decide that and then add the MRET-water activation unit to the process. You can learn more here http://giawellness.ca/susanjohnson/products/aqua-gia/i-h2o/
Let me know if you have any other questions regarding the MRET-water, i-H2O home activation unit. I would like to extend to you wholesale pricing, as it is about the health of your family. My contact details are found at the website. Good luck in your research!! Sue
here’s another opinion from someone who is a water treatment specialist. would welcome feedback to this stance.
http://survivalstill.com/the-truth-about-alkaline-water/
Thank you.
Please research Primary Water. There is plenty and for everyone, but they just will not tell you.
in canada they sell the Stefani filtration system. my health guru who specializes in preventing and curing cancer uses the system…he tested the water and confirms it removes all toxic chemicals and metals including chlorine. research it. its from brazil and is very well made. its big in Australia and UK and Latin America
All you need to do to remove chlorine is leave the lid of the preferably glass bottle in which you pour tap water for one hour. This was advice that I was given by Southern Water in Southampton, England after we beat adding fluoride to our local water supply.
hy irina
can you pls give me some info about the water structuring units you are using?
thanks

Claudio, a good magnetic field declusters water molecules, resulting in greater hydration. Check out the PiMag Waterfall and Google you tube video.
Gabriela please elaborate. I want the truth.
Please send me the link to the water filter you had a video about.

Also google the Pi Mag Waterfall abd see the you tube video, and see the specs on Nikken.com. Happy to help or answer any questions, Peter
It’s good to know that water can reduce cancer risk. This liquid is really beyond avoiding dehydration. I totally agree that clean water may be perhaps the most important “nutrient”. Great post Ty!
Great article. thanks for sharing.
I was not convinced to the water until I started to experience great health benefits out of drinking that miracle substance. Did you know that it is the only one that exists in three states, gas, liquid and solid on our planet Earth? After I started to drink it miracles, literally miracles happened. My husband knew about some water healing abilities and once even showed me that jar experiment that he made. We decided to drink more water after we moved to Canada. Food is totally different than in Europe and you need to drink more water to detoxify your body. That is why we researched and started to drink Coral Water. It is so simple to apply. It is living water, made naturally with correct pH, 9,5 and negative Redox. It is very similar to Kangen Water, but made naturally in your home and you do not have to buy very expensive ionizer. You can make it everywhere and it really works. I did not believed on the beginning and connect our health improvement with healthy diet. But when we run out of Coral Mine, my health problems slowly returned and then I realized that is that what i was looking for. I even bought that all equipment to measure its features and it was true. Simply I do not know what water is the best one, but since I drink Coral Water i feel much more healthy. Wish you all the best.
I have lung cancer and have glass of water in the morning it helps clean your body of toxins. It really helps.
Thanks for sharing what you do with us Jean! Sending healing vibes your way!
