In the “Ionic Separation” process, we free up active hydrogen. The most efficient scavenger of free radicals is active hydrogen.

Anti-oxidants act as cell protectors. They are substances that are capable of counteracting the damaging, but normal, effects of the physiological process of oxidation in tissues. Anti-oxidants counteract free radicals, and bind with them before they can cause damage.

You can find Essentia in most natural and health food stores across the country. Essentia can also be found in the health food sections of many major supermarkets as well as a growing number of fitness centers, spas and offices of healthcare practitioners. In circumstances where Essentia may not be available in your area, Essentia Water would be pleased to ship directly to your home or office. (Click here for the “BUY ESSENTIA” page)

The importance of antioxidant protection for good health has become common knowledge in recent years. Free radicals are now considered to be the single most significant cause of premature aging and degenerative diseases. A free radical is a molecule that is missing one or more electrons to be in a state of balance. Since seeking balance is intrinsic to everything in nature, free radicals aggressively steal electrons from every source they can find.

Essentia Water is non-source dependent, which means Essentia can be produced and bottled anywhere in the world using virtually any water source. Essentia currently uses municipal water as its source supply. The water is completely purified using a filtration and reverse osmosis process that reduces TDS (total dissolved solids) down to approximately 3 ppm (parts per million).

Essentia’s proprietary process “Ionic Separation” produces “thinner” water, also referred to as structured or clustered water. This process removes most of the acidic ions in the water, resulting in a smoother, sweeter tasting water with no harsh, mineral aftertaste.

The smaller water clusters, “thinner water”, of Essentia Water are more efficient in passing into and out of the body’s cells. Regular water requires conditioning in order to be accepted by the cell. This process takes time and results in a backup of ingested water, giving this bloated sensation. Essentia Water has a lower surface tension giving the water a characteristic described as “silky” by those drinking it.

Everyone has different water intake requirements. The rule of thumb is to drink half your body weight in ounces daily. For example, if you weight 100 lbs, convention would suggest you drink at least 50oz (one 1.5 liter) daily. Your level of activity, environment, diet and stress levels should be taken into consideration, as all of these determine your water intake requirement.

Definitely. However drinking Essentia Water will not by itself insure a properly pH balanced system. Essentia Water was designed to assist the body in neutralizing acidic conditions. The benefit of a properly balanced system is lower incidence and severity of infections such as colds, the flu and other infections.

Essentia Water uses a proprietary process called Ionic Separation. There are two ions in water. One is negatively charged (alkaline) and the other is positively charged (acidic). This process uses electrolysis to electrically split water into alkaline and acidic streams. We bottle only the alkaline stream. In doing so, we are bottling the water that has had the acidic ion removed, which naturally raises the pH of the remaining water.

Simply stated, Litmus Papers cannot be used to determine the pH of clean water or exceptionally pure waters like Essentia. Chemicals on the litmus strip actually alter the pH as the water is being tested. The TDS (total dissolved solids) of a tested liquid must be above 150 to 200 ppm (parts per million) to initiate a sufficient reaction on pH paper.

We do. Our label clearly states that we add magnesium, potassium, sodium and calcium. We do not specify the levels of the added minerals because the FDA rules state that all ingredients must be listed as “zero” unless each ingredient (mineral) is greater than 5 mg (milligrams) per serving. All ingredients in Essentia Water are less than 5 mg per serving. Yes, structured water and clustered water are synonymous. Water naturally occurs in clusters of 12-18 individual water molecules.

You should leave the Super Food Antioxidant Masque on for 10-15 minutes and then wash off with warm water. You should use the masque every day during periods of increased sun exposure or about twice a week if not being exposed to sun. We created a new product to fix the problem you are talking about. In the trial we carried out on Liquorice balm we found that it didn't really help much once you had a cold sore, but was amazing at preventing them.

Nursery® Water is steam distilled water with added fluoride. Nursery® Water can be mixed directly with formula (refer to formula label instructions) or put in a bottle. Nursery® Water uses DISTILLED WATER as its base. Distilled water is produced by filtering source water through sand and activated carbon to remove chlorine, unpleasant taste and odor as well as sediment and trihalomethanes. This filtered water is converted to steam in a stainless steel distiller.

Fighting free radicals: contains Optiox 15™, a scientific blend of 15 important anti-oxidants that protect the body from damaging free-radical toxins that cause ageing, premature disease and tissue damage. Toxins are found in air & water, and also result from normal metabolism, sun exposure, alcohol, cigarette smoke, fatty foods, refined carbohydrates and stressful lifestyles. Optiox 15™ is the most potent blend of anti-oxidants known to man.

In contrast to other chemicals added to water, fluoride does not treat the water, or make the water safer to drink. Fluoride is the only chemical added to water for the sole purpose of medication (to prevent tooth decay -- a non-waterborne disease). NO. Most dental researchers now concede that fluoride’s main benefit comes from direct contact with the outside of teeth (a "topical" effect), and not from ingestion (a "systemic" effect).

Absolutely! We know of instances where pregnant women have taken Essentia water therapeutically for gravida emesis (excessive vomiting during pregnancy) as well as for kidney stones. In addition, due to the fact that there are two bodies producing acid, the increased pH of Essentia Water will assist in neutralizing this increased acid.

Calcium buildup is the common factor for this noisy problem. When super-cold water collides with super-hot water from the bottom of the water heater, an audible noise is produced, similar to that of water droplets into a hot greasy pan. Imagine your water heater as a teakettle with sediment buildup at the bottom. The water at the bottom of the teakettle is much hotter and as we learned in science class, heat rises.

I am not anti-pharmaceutical. As a physician, I recognize that pharmaceuticals have a place in health-care. However, I object to the cozy relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and physicians, in which the pharmaceutical industry provides physicians with "education" and "gifts." I also object to the dominant role of pharmaceuticals in health-care. Since life is metabolism, and since metabolism depends on food and water, health-care should focus on food and water.

Marmite is now owned by Unilever. It is made by different companies in different parts of the world, and often to a different recipe. It is produced in the UK by Unilever Bestfoods UK, and this is the original that you should try and seek out. In New Zealand it is made by the Sanitarium Health Food Company (a Seventh-Day Adventist outfit).
