So what is it then, really?

The word “Kangen” (pronounced, kan-ghen ) generally means “restoring” in Japanese, but “deoxidizing” might be a better fit in this particular situation with this water. The secret is all in the small machine which needs to be hooked up to your faucet.

Here is the process of how it’s made.

The tap water first gets purified by going through the internal filter, and then ionized through the electrolysis process, splitting the water into two parts; alkaline (hydrogen-rich) and acidic (oxygen-rich).

Kangen Water, in short, is the electrolyzed alkaline water with tremendous deoxidizing power. It's deoxidation measure is recognized in medical fields for its incredible effectiveness in many types of illness and diseases.

Kangen Water is also the only water product or technology that is approved for its medical benefits by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare (Japanese equivalent of FDA in the US), particularly for the following 4 types of symptoms;

• Abnormal gastrointestinal fermentation
• Chronic diarrhea
• Indigestion
• Excess gastric acid

You must have thought, "that's it!?", if you didn't know anything about this water's credentials. It should be noted here that this water doesn't directly "cure" whatever illness you may have, but instead it gets rid of the root of the all evils, free radicals.

How?

Well, free radicals are essentially a bunch of very active and unstable oxygen molecules, which often damage important cells in our body, including DNAs. It is known to be the leading cause of your body's internal oxidation process as well as over 80% of those chronic diseases. In Dr. Shirahata's theory, while it is still not 100% proven yet, this Kangen water is said to contain a lot of active hydrogen molecules, which would bond with free radicals and then turn into water (H20) to be flushed out of your body safely.

As a result of that process, it is believed to tone your body from the cellular level and to supercharge your immune system and self-healing power.

This unmatched power of deoxidation and detoxification is the reason why this water is rewarded with such a special status. Better yet, this is only water, after all. Since there are no known side effects, you can drink as much as your body needs to cleanse itself.

At last, we may be looking at "the fountain of youth and health" on tap indeed. Would you like to turn your faucet into one?!

1. Ionized and AlkalineSince water (H2O) is made up of hydrogen and oxygen, it can be ionized and split into two different parts, the hydrogen-rich and the oxygen-rich, through the electrolysis process. Alkaline water is the hydrogen-rich part and is known to have a strong power to dissolve and soften materials.

Although being ionized and alkaline itself isn't considered to have much medical merit to your body, you will find it extremely useful when it comes to cooking with this water. It not only shortens the cooking time but also extracts more flavors and essence from the food you are cooking. Even tea and coffee taste better. No wonder increasingly more restaurants and cafes in Japan are now taking advantages of this merit by installing commercial units in their kitchens, whether discreetly or loudly advertising.

It is also known to prevent hangovers if you drink this water when, or even after, you consume alcoholic beverages, which are very acidic by nature. And guess what?! So many bars in Japan are now serving Kangen water as a part of their services.

2. Micro-Clustered Water Molecules

Kangen water is also known to have small clusters of 5 to 6 water molecules, as a result of the electrolysis process. This counts approximately 1/3 to half that of tap water, whose cluster is usually made up from 13 to 15 molecules. Small clusters also mean the increased ability of water to dissolve elements as well as to be absorbed into your body.

This is particularly important for your metabolism since smaller elements pass through cell membranes more easily and eliminate acidic wastes and toxins from your body more effectively.

With this water, your body will enjoy the quicker cellular hydration and super waste elimination.

3. Concentration of Essential Minerals

The electrical charge rearranges healthy minerals that are naturally included in your tap water. As a result, Kangen water contains essential minerals, such as Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium, in a form that can be assimilated into your body more easily.

4. Low Oxidation Reduction Potential: -200mV and Below

As you probably know already, it is now a common knowledge that a lot of medical benefits come from anti-oxidative property.

Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) is a measurement, when it's on the negative side, it indicates the power to slow down oxidation (aging) process by eliminating "Free Radicals" safely from our body. This ORP factor is perhaps the most important characteristic of Kangen Water because this is what distinguishes itself from any other water on the market, including its lesser grade cousin, Ionized Alkaline Water.

Technically, in order to be classified as Kangen Water, it needs to show a negative ORP in the range of -200mV to -450mV, while typical Ionized Alkaline Water shows anywhere between +100mV and -100mV, depending on the quality of the machine.

The reading of mV indicates the millivolts of hydrogen electrons present in the water available to bond with the free radicals and flush them out.

Additionally, while this is not a point of differentiation technically, Kangen Water machines typically are able to electrolyze the water even further by mixing some salt during the electrolysis process. These machines can produce incredibly functional waters, called Super Kangen Water (ORP: below -550mV) and Super Acidic Water (ORP: over +1000mV). While they are not drinkable, the power of these two waters, particularly Super Acidic Water, has been recognized and widely used in various medical practices in Japan for many years.

And now, thanks to the technological advances in recent years, these machines are much smaller so you can have one in your home as well.

So you probably want to find out more about this incredible water by now. That’s exactly why we set out to do with this web site, and we’d definitely like you to explore what we have collected here.

All in all, if you have never thought of water as such a precious element in your body and life, we hope this site will help you change your perception in that area.

Brief History of Kangen Water

Here’s a brief background of this incredible water and how this electrolyzed water machine became an incredible tool of preventive medicine at home.

Initially developed for agricultural purposes and adopted by open-minded doctors, it has slowly grown to be a medical device in Japan since 1965. More than three decades of clinical experience has shown that the electrolyzed water enhances healing power of human body and being eco-friendly. In mid-90's, its benefits were started to be recognized in the public and the technological advance enabled various companies to develop smaller home units.

In 1998, Dr. Shirahata of Kyushu University had discovered the connection between electrolyzed water and Holy water, often called Miracle Water as well, existed around the world such as Tolacote in Mexico, Nordenou in Germany, Hitatenryo in Japan. Holy water is known for its tremendous healing power and has shown that it works against just about any diseases. Now hundreds of people take pilgrimage to these sites everyday.

He had found that all of these waters have a common property; tremendous anti-oxidant power. And soon he came up with the theory that "Active Hydrogen" is the reason behind such an unusual effect.

Although many scientific studies on this water have been resumed, led by Functional Water Foundation in Japan since 1995, the full potential of the electrolyzed water has not been confirmed yet. And recently, also in the US, the water unit is now being experimented at UCLA, Seton Medical center, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Georgia University, University of Texas, among other scientific institutions. hr>

Clinical Uses of Kangen Water in Hospital Treatment

There are now hundreds of hospitals, big and small, in Japan that use Kangen Water as a part of their medical practices. The following list illustrates some most common usage scenarios with different illness cases.

1. Various Types of Cancer

This is perhaps the poster boy figure for the recent Kangen Water phenomenon. It just seems to work very effectively, whatever type and stage your cancer situation might be.

A few years ago, there was even a public project, organized by a veteran nurse who helped ALL of 30 terminal cancer patients she took on recover from the death bed, all within months, by simply giving them this Kangen water. While the amount of water the patients had to drink (4 to 10 liters a day) and the types of cancer (from breast, bladder, lung, liver, stomach, small and large intestines, prostate to even leukemia) varied, all of the patients had been diagnosed as terminal from their previous doctors. Simply awe-inspiring!

2. Rapid Reduction in Blood Sugar Level in Diabetes Patients

It is observed that about 80% of diabetes patients who started intake of Kangen water showed lower blood sugar levels within 2 weeks.

3. Rapid healing of Gangrene of the Lower Limbs, due to Diabetes

At Kyowa hospital in Kobe, Japan, at least 2 diabetics with lower limbs gangrene, who had not shown signs of recovery despite months of pharmaceutical treatment, saved their limbs within a month after they turned to drinking of Kangen water and soaking in strong oxidized water.

4. Rapid Improvement in Patients with Hepatitis and Cirrhosis

A representative case was that of a 60 year old male patient. Improvement was noted in his hepatitis and cirrhosis one month after starting intake of Kangen water. Thereafter, all treatments, including medications, IV's and diet were discontinued and after 6 months of Kangen water as a sole treatment, his liver function had returned to normal.

5. Rapid Healing of Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers

A 40 year old patient had endured repeated attacks of duodenal ulcers over the last 12 years. After an incident of attack, she started to drink Kangen water (1-2 liters a day). Within a week, improvement was noted. An inspection with a gastric camera showed no remaining ulcerations. The result surprised the hospital director, who personally attended the testing, as well as the patient herself.

There are great number of cases in which there has been no recurrence of ulceration as long as sufficient Kangen water intake continues.

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 they can control it with simply drinking sufficient Kangen water within months.

7. Improvements in Asthma, Skin Rashes, Atopic Dermatitis and Nasal Allergies

One female patient suffered from atrophic dermatitis from shortly after birth until age 26. She had tried fasting, vegetarian diet and a variety of other treatments, all to no avail. Her dermatologist even refused to continue seeing her. Just one month after she began drinking Kangen water and applied strong oxidized water externally, she had experienced about 80% improvement in her condition.

8. Improved Kidney Function

Instances of dramatic improvement have been observed in cases of chronic nephritis and impaired kidney functions with Kangen water.

Other Uses:

• Daily drinking water. To keep the body properly hydrated and assist with colon function.

• For taking supplements. Kangen water has outstanding in dissolving, extracting and anti-oxidizing properties that will enhance the effectiveness of any supplements you may be taking.

• As a skin toner. Use the mild acid 5.5 pH water as a skin toner to give your skin a healthy, radiant shine.

• After consuming alcohol. Dilute the acidity of the alcohol and prevent hangovers. Use Kangen water ice cubes with your drinks and ingest a sufficient quantity of Kangen water before bed to prevent a hangover.

• For drinking during meals. When eating acidic foods such as meat, egg yolks, white bread, etc, drinking Kangen water will help balance the pH.

• For brewing tea and coffee. Kangen prevents tannin in the tea and allows the tea to infuse fully, creating a rich color and taste. In coffee, Kangen brings out the aroma, color and naturally acidic taste. Only half the amount of coffee beans is required to create the same full taste.

• For cooking. Kangen water can be used to soak vegetables and meats, eliminating the strong smells of onions or any game meat, for example. Kangen will bring out the natural flavors in vegetables as well as a rich color in spinach and other greens. This natural flavor will require less stocks and seasonings to be used. Kangen also has stronger heat conduction than regular water, effectively cutting as much as 30% from cooking times. There are an estimated 30,000 restaurants and eateries in Japan already using Kangen water to prepare their food and the quality and cleanliness of Japanese food is world-renowned.

• For cut flowers and plants. Plants experience great results when watered with Kangen. The life of cut flowers can be lengthened and health restored to sick plants. Seeding and germination are also enhanced using the water and for varieties such as roses, which require a more acidic environment, simply select an acidic setting of water for use.

• For pets. Unpleasant odors from both their bodies and waste will be eliminated. They will also experience the same great health benefits as humans.

• For Artists and Painters. Kangen water is exceptional when mixing paints. Colors are more vibrant and a smoother texture is created. The brush glides across the surface with ease.

• As an anti-bacterial cleaner. Use the super acidic water setting to create a 100% safe and natural anti-bacterial cleaner. Kills 99.9% of bacteria on contact. Can also be sprayed directly onto the skin and into the throat to prevent a cold. Also ideal as a 100% safe alternative for bathrooms, baby areas and toys.

• As an all-purpose cleaner. Use the super alkaline water setting to create a natural, chemical free cleaner for glass, tiles, bench tops, etc.

Here's what the experts say:

"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."

This truly is the fountain of youth.

This is a medically tested and proven approach to preventive action. The Japanese Ministry of Health - the equivalent of the FDA here in the USA - is unbelievably strict. They reject application after application for pharmaceutical drugs, and yet have approved Enagic's Kangen water unit as a medical device. Keep this in mind. This isn't just an appliance for your home, it's a medical device.

Enagic also has the backing of the Japan Association for Preventive Medicine for Adult disease -- a nationwide organization composed of 6,600 physicians.

This non-profit doctors association endorses a variety of products and technologies that can help treat and possibly cure lifestyle related diseases such as osteoporosis, diabetes, cancer, high cholesterol, hypertension, etc. It is known for its long and thorough selection process under the policy of 1 product, 1 industry.

When it comes to electrolyzed water makers, they choose Enagic.

The LeveLuk DX II is Enagic’s top of the line model. It boasts 7 ionizing chambers, producing water with a higher –ORP and is fully automatic. It is also very compact at 16 lbs. Ionizing Chambers: 7* -ORP Range: -550—1200 pH Range: 2.5—11.5

Ease of Use: This is a fully Automatic unit and is very simple to operate. Unit comes with a 5 year, full product warranty, filter is good for 3,000 gallons of water before being replaced and the DX II is expected to have a 15 year life span. Because of the increased –ORP, this unit is especially helpful for individuals who have chronic or serious health issues. *Increasing the number of ionizing chambers from 5 to 7 increases the –ORP by 40% and will prolong the life of the unit by approximately 28%.

The process for making the water is very simple. The machine simply connects to your faucet, you turn on the power, then the faucet and the magic begins. The regular tap water is initially purified by the internal filter and then ionized via electrolysis which result in the water being separated into two; alkaline (hydrogen-rich) and acidic (oxygen-rich).
