Persistent oxidative stress is one of the major causes of most lifestyle-related diseases, cancer and the aging process. Acute oxidative stress directly causes serious damage to tissues. Despite the clinical importance of oxidative damage, antioxidants have been of limited therapeutic success.

We have proposed that molecular   hydrogen   (H(2)) has potential as a "novel" antioxidant in preventive and therapeutic applications [Ohsawa et al., Nat Med. 2007: 13; 688-94]. H(2) has a number of advantages as a potential antioxidant: H(2) rapidly diffuses into tissues and cells,

However, it is mild enough not to disturb normal redox (inflammation) reactions.

It does not affect reactive oxygen species (ROS) that function in cell signaling, thereby, there should be little adverse effects of consuming H(2).

There are several methods to ingest or consume H(2), including inhaling hydrogen gas, drinking H(2)-dissolved water (hydrogen water), taking a hydrogen bath, injecting H(2)- dissolved saline (hydrogen saline), dropping hydrogen saline onto the eye, burning magnesium in water and increasing the production of intestinal H(2) by bacteria.

Since the publication of the first H(2) paper in Nature Medicine in 2007, the biological effects of H(2) have been confirmed by studies showing more than 38 diseases,(see below) physiological states and clinical

1

tests in leading biological/medical journals, and several groups have started clinical examinations.

Moreover, H(2) shows not only effects against oxidative stress, but also various anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effects. H(2) also regulates various gene expressions and protein-phosphorylations, though the molecular mechanisms underlying the marked effects of very small amounts of H(2) remain elusive.

Translation: This scientific paper by Dr Ohta, states the case for the medicinal use of hydrogen gas (H2) perfectly. It says oxidative stress (Oxidants) is a major cause of most chronic, degenerative diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer among many others. Despite this fact, conventional anti-oxidants have limited proven effect.

The landmark, 2007 paper by Dr. Ohsawa, shows hydrogen gas has important potential advantages as an anti-oxidant, in comparison to other antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E; such as rapid diffusion in cells and tissues and ability to cross the brain/blood barrier and enter the mitochondria, which create the most damaging oxidants in the body. (Because of the small size and molecular weight of the hydrogen gas molecule)

It is mild enough not to disrupt the beneficial functions of oxidants.

Though there are several theoretical ways to administer hydrogen gas, the only practical way for the gas to be administered by the average person is by way of producing the gas in a water ionizer.

The biological effects of H(2) have been confirmed by the publication of more than 38 diseases, physiological states and clinical tests in leading biological/medical journals since 2007 (Now, Jan 2015, close to 200 diseases!)

Moreover, H(2) shows not only effects against oxidative stress, also defends against lipid peroxidation or oxidation of fats, resulting from peroxynitrite, but also various anti-inflammatory, anticancerand antiallergic effects.

6

H(2) regulates various gene expressions, (controls various genes involved in health and sickness), for instance, down regulation of gene that produces TNF-a (Tumor Necrosis Factor-a) that encourages inflammation and tumor formation and growth. Also, chronic exposure to low concentrations of TNF-a will produce cachexia, the wasting syndrome seen mainly in cancer patients. H2 up-regulates the genes that produce the body’s powerful antioxidant enzymes

 The therapeutic effects of hydrogen gas dissolved in water by the process of Ionization is the subject of this paper.

When at least 2 liters of this hydrogen-rich water is consumed daily, the following therapeutic effects are observed.

UNPARALLELED ANTIOXIDANT/ANTI-INFLAMMATORY CAPABIITIES, REVERSING THE INFLAMMATION THAT UNDERLIES ALL CHRONIC, DEGENERATIVE DISEASES.

Reactive Oxygen Species, also known as Free Radicals or Oxidants, are dangerous molecules that damage all types of tissues and organs throughout the human body.

Free Radicals are a waste product of your body’s production of energy. Every time your cells produce energy to breathe, move, think, listen to music, digest food, etc. your body generates Free Radicals, or oxidants as waste products.

The hydroxyl radical, the most damaging and among the most numerous, is found in the mitochondria or furnaces in each cell. This dangerous oxidant is the primary cell-damaging free radical in the body. Unfortunately, our Standard American Diet and polluted environment generate far more oxidants than our body can handle, resulting in illness, especially as we age.

Aging by the way, is theorized by Dr Lester Packer and others, to simply be the accumulation of inflammation-damaged cells in the

7

body. When your body runs out of antioxidants, you die, according to this theory.

Your body has the natural ability to produce anti-oxidants which neutralize oxidants or life would not be possible. But as we age our body’s production of these life saving anti-oxidants decline, opening us up to chronic destruction, or inflammation, caused by this overload of oxidants.

Inflammation damage to cells causes them to become acidic which produces more inflammation. Acidosis is the condition where the pH, or acid/alkaline balance of the cells in the body become too acidic. This vicious cycle of inflammation and acidosis; abetted by dehydration, brought on by not drinking enough water every day, (2 quarts daily, minimum) is the root cause of most chronic, degenerative diseases like cataracts.

Here is a short list of diseases that are directly attributable to oxidation, inflammation, acidosis and dehydration:

Diabetes Cardiovascular Disease Arthritis Hypertension Cancer Crohn’s Disease Cataracts Kidney Failure Parkinson’s Disease Psoriasis Blindness

HYDROGEN-RICH WATER PROTECTS EYES FROM OXIDATIVE FREE RADICALS AND INFLAMMATION

As we age, our eyes succumb to a lifetime of environmental and dietary insults in addition to the problems caused by specific illnesses such as diabetes and hardening of the arteries.

8

The result:

Cataracts- A gradual, but progressive clouding of the lens of the eye, caused by oxidative damage to the proteins in the lens by ultimately resulting in blindness.

Glaucoma- A gradual progressive buildup of pressure in the eyeball which can cause blindness. Inflammation of the drainage ducts causes blockages of the fluids of the eye resulting in buildup of fluid in the eyeball. The increase in the intraocular pressure can eventually damage the optic nerve to the point of failure and blindness.

Retinopathy- Damage to the retina and optic nerves which can result in blindness. Inflammation of the capillaries supplying the retina of the eye can result in damage to the retina and or its nerve supply which can lead to blindness.

These chronic, degenerative eye conditions can be prevented, slowed or even reversed with proper nutritional therapies. Chief among those therapies is Hydrogen Gas.

Macular Degeneration-Is a condition in which excessive blood vessels grow over the retina, eventually blocking it, causing blindness. H2 gas rich water, applied to the eye, slows or stops the growth of the blood vessels

POWERFUL ANTI-DIABETIC FACTORS-Type 2 Diabetes is the most common type, (90%+). It is a deadly disease, cutting off 10-15 years of life and condemning its sufferers to a slow and agonizing death. Type2 diabetes is caused by free radical inflammation, environmental toxins and chronic dehydration.

9

These conditions damage the insulin receptors on the body’s cells, damage the insulin hormone molecule itself and even the production of insulin in the pancreatic Beta cells.

When this damage occurs, the muscle and skeletal cells become less sensitive to insulin and lose their ability to open to admit glucose, which builds up in the blood. This excess glucose in the blood causes inflammatory damage, in addition to the underlying inflammation that caused the diabetes in the first place, to damage the entire vasculature, especially the microcirculation throughout the body. This is why the “complications” of diabetes are so widespread, making diabetes the leading cause of:

Limb Amputation Blindness Kidney Failure Nerve Damage High Blood Pressure Cognitive dysfunction Heart Attack and Stroke

In addition, diabetes impairs the immune system and microcirculatory blood flow throughout the body, damaging all organs which require blood for nutrition and waste removal.

Although hydrogen rich water produces rapid decreases in blood sugar levels, to produce permanent avoidance of diabetic symptoms, it should be accompanied by dietary changes and administration of herbs and dietary supplements which help the body repair itself.

Hydrogen-rich water:

10

Is an insulin mimic, reducing A1c and blood sugar levels, hence reducing diabetic “complications.”

Reduces harmful insulin levels in the blood, reducing weight gain, insulin damage to cells

Stimulates Pancreatic B-cell production of insulin Protects, repairs damage to Pancreatic Islet cells Promotes growth of “good” gut bacteria Protects cardiovascular, liver and kidney epithelial cells from

inflammation and environmental toxins Increases insulin sensitivity of cells Helps prevent and repair oxidative and toxic damage to

hormones and receptors

ANTI-CANCER PROPERTIES-Cancer is DNA-Damaged, mutated cells dividing wildly which never die. If your immune system is strong, it will kill these mutant cells as soon as they appear. If your immune system is damaged, by diet and/or the environment, these mutant cells will grow into tumors and eventually killing you.

By strengthening your immune system by increasing the growth of bacteria in the gut,correcting your diet and returning your internal environment to normal, you body may be able to stop the cancer.

Since cancer cells (tumor) can only grow in an acidic environment, drinking Hydrogen Gas alkalizes the fluids in the body, stopping the growth of the tumor. In the end only your immune system can cure cancer. Anything you can do to rebalance your diet and environment will help you stop cancer. Hydrogen gas is one of the most powerful and effective therapies, in conjunction with dietary corrections and immune system boosters.

Hydrogen Gas:

Protects DNA from damage, preventing cancer in the first place

11

Suppresses metastasis or spreading of cancer cells to different organs/tissues.

Stops Angiogenisis, new tumor blood vessel growth Turns off cancer genes, including the gene for VEGF, which

helps to build new tumors Inhibits tissue damaging free radical inflammation,

particularly the hydroxyl radical, the most potent and plentiful free radical.

Strengthens immune system, promotes the generation of powerful immune system antioxidant enzymes

Shortens telomeres of cancer cells, hastening their death Accelerates cancer cell apoptosis, programmed death of

cancer cells Raises cellular voltage, promoting cancer cell dormancy and

death Reduces blood sugar, the primary source of energy for

cancer cells Reduces blood insulin levels, including Insulin Growth Factor-

1 which encourages cancer cell growth Increases cellular hydration Reduces cancer pain Increases immune system production of interferon, other

cancer fighting immune cells Recharges antioxidants, C and E, extending their antioxidant

effects in body Reduces production of Nuclear Factor k Beta (NFK-B) and

Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha, (TNF-A) both involved with inflammation and cancer cell proliferation.

Enhanced induction of mitochondrial damage and apoptosis in human leukemia HL-60 cells due to electrolyzed-reduced water (ERW) and glutathione.Tsai CF1, Hsu YW, Chen WK, Ho YC, Lu FJ. PMID:19202298

 These results suggest that ERW is an antioxidant, and that ERW, in combination with GSH,(glutathione) is an antioxidant enzyme produced naturally by the body has an enhanced apoptosis-inducing (cell-killing) effect on HL-60 (leukemia) cells, which might be mediated through the regulation of certain genes or mitochondria-dependent pathway.

Enhancement of the antioxidant activity of ascorbic acid (Vitamin c) dissolved in electrolyzed-reduced water (hydrogen gas-rich Water) was about threefold that of ascorbic acid dissolved in nonelectrolyzed deionized water,

Electrolyzed Reduced Water protects DNA and RNA strands against oxidative damage and therefore mutations.

CARDIOVASCULAR BENEFITS-Artherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis arise in the cardiovascular system as a result of damage to the epithelial tissue lining its walls. The damage is done by free radical inflammation and environmental toxins. These are caused primarily by the Standard American Diet and the environment. Eventually, this damage to the epithelial cells leads to plague build up which leads to heart trouble and/or strokes.

Hydrogen gas is a powerful, natural therapy which helps the body heal the damage done to the epithelial lining of the arteries, leading to the reversal of heart disease. Hydrogen gas:

13

Scavanges the hydroxyl free radical the most dangerous and plentiful inflammation causing free radical. It also targets another dangerous free radical the peroxynitrite radical. H2 gas does this without disturbing the free radical’s beneficial tasks, signaling agents.

Raises the pH (reverses acidity) of the intracellular fluids, helping to prevent damage to the arteries by acid.

Raises the Zeta potential of the red blood cells, decreasing clotting of the blood and promoting free blood flow through the blood vessels.

Helps to lower blood pressure by reversing plaque buildup in the arteries and by thinning the blood.

Increases cellular voltage in arterial epithelial cells facilitating replacement of damaged cells by new, healthy cells

Hydrogen-rich water fights periodontal disease

Notes on the administration of Hydrogen Gas:

Although molecular gas theoretically can be administered by inhalation or by bubbling it through water, the process of Ionizng water has been found to be the most realistic; since hydrogen gas itself represents insurmountable safety and storage challenge to the average person. It is highly explosive and can only be contained in heavy, stainless steel vessels.

14

The Hydrogen gas Ionizer we use, the KangenSD-1, is a counter top model that produces hydrogen rich water via a continuous, on demand process and has been used in Japanese hospitals for decades.

Additional Support, Testimonies From Doctors and Medical Professionals for Electrolyzed Reduced Water/Alkaline Water*/Ionized Water, all different names for Hydrogen-Rich Water : *However, alkaline water produced by any method other than ionization is not hydrogen-rich water.

The Pivotal Role of Reactive Oxygen Species, (ROS), also

known as Free Radicals in All chronic, degenerative diseases.

It is generally accepted by scientists that ROS, Reactive Oxygen Species, damage to our bodies, especially the hydroxyl radical, underlies All chronic, degenerative diseases; diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, alzheimers etc.

Reactive Oxygen Species or Free Radicals, are dangerous molecules that steal electrons from healthy cells, preventing them from performing their normal duties. If unchecked, the damage spreads, producing inflammation, first locally, then throughout the body, resulting in various illness and eventually, death.

Hydrogen gas prevents ROS damage to the various organs and body parts. Hundreds of scientific studies have shown that hydrogen gas is effective against dozens of chronic, degenerative diseases.

Although hydrogen gas was administered by inhalation in the study below, this is an impractical mode of administration of hydrogen gas outside of the laboratory. This is because hydrogen gas is the smallest molecule in the universe and can only be contained in a thick walled, steel container, or it leaks out fairly quickly which is why you will never find bottled hydrogen water in Whole Foods. Moreover, hydrogen gas is highly flammable, after all it is the fuel that powers the sun!

The Russians and Japanese, over 50 years ago, discovered the secret of artificially reproducing the healing powers of the waters of Lourdes, France; Fatima, Portugal; Hita City, Himalayas and various other waters around the world, duplicating those powers by sending electricity through ordinary tap water, ionizing it. They were unaware that the hydrogen gas produced during the

15

electrolysis was the active ingredient in the ionized water.

Ionized water has been used successfully for decades in Asian hospitals and health care facilities to treat all types of illnesses, even though the active ingredient had never been identified. That all changed beginning in 2004. Here is an abstract of an early scientific paper on the subject:

This is one of the first scientific papers revealing that Hydrogen Gas is the active ingredient in Ionized Water:

Hydrogen acts as a therapeutic antioxidant by selectively reducing cytotoxic oxygen radicals.Ohsawa I1, Ishikawa M, Takahashi K, Watanabe M, Nishimaki K, Yamagata K, Katsura K, Katayama Y, Asoh S, Ohta S.Author information

AbstractAcute oxidative stress induced by ischemia-reperfusion or inflammation causes serious damage to tissues, and persistent oxidative stress is accepted as one of the causes of many common diseases including cancer. We show here that hydrogen (H(2)) has potential as an antioxidant in preventive and therapeutic applications. We induced acute oxidative stress in cultured cells by three independent methods. H(2) (Hydrogen gas) selectively reduced the hydroxyl radical, the most cytotoxic of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and effectively protected cells; however, H(2) did not react with other (beneficial) ROS, which possess physiological roles. We used an acute rat model in which oxidative stress damage was induced in the brain by focal ischemia and reperfusion. The inhalation of H(2) gas markedly suppressed brain injury by buffering the effects of oxidative stress. Thus H(2), hydrogen gas, can be used as an effective antioxidant therapy; owing to its ability to rapidly diffuse across membranes, it can reach and react with cytotoxic ROS and thus protect against oxidative damage.

What follows are testimonies from doctors and other health care professionals who had achieved positive results with Kangen water for over thirty years or more before hydrogen gas was identified as the main therapeutic actor in the water.

Dr. Hiromi Shinya

“I have examined more than 300,000 people’s stomachs and intestines for 35 years and realize that our health depends largely on our dietary life. And from my experiences I would like to teach you healthy, dietary habits to help you enjoy your life!”

“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.”

“Kangen Water is alkaline rich water (ph 8-9), and is considered the very best drinking water because of its incomparable powers of hydration, detoxification, and anti-oxidation.”

“Any stressor that the mind or body interprets and internalizes as too much to deal

with, leaves an acid residue. Even a mild stressor can cause a partial or total acid-

forming reaction. The countless names attached to illness do not really mater. What

does matter is that they all come from the same root cause: too much tissue acid

waste in the body.”

Dr. Susan Lark

“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.”

“The benefits of the alkaline water created through electrolysis far exceed just its ability to gently raise the pH of the cells and tissues of the body and to neutralize acids. Because the alkaline water has gained a significant number of free electrons through the electrolysis process, it is able to donate these electrons to active oxygen free radicals in the body, thereby becoming a super antioxidant. By donating its excess free electrons, alkaline water is able to block the oxidation of normal tissue by free oxygen radicals.”

Dr. Lester Packer

“Scientists now believe that free radicals are factors in nearly every known disease.”

“Consuming the right type of water is vital to detoxifying the body’s acidic waste products and is one of the most powerful health treatments available.” 

“We recommended that you drink 8-10 glasses per day of this alkaline water. It is one of the simplest and most powerful things that you can do to combat a wide range of disease processes. It is interesting to note that in Japan, professional sports teams drink alkaline water to improve their performance”

“It is well known that many chronic diseases result in excess acidity of the body (metabolic acidosis). We also know that the body tends to become more acidic due to modern dietary habits and lifestyles and the aging process itself. By drinking high negative ORP alkaline water, you combat metabolic acidosis and improve absorption of nutrients.”

“There are more benefits to “alkaline water” than simply the alkalinity or pH. The most important feature of alkaline water produced by a water alkalizer is its oxidation reduction potential (ORP). Water with a high negative ORP is of particular value in its ability to neutralize oxygen free radicals. ORP can also be directly tested using an ORP sensor and meter. We have conducted these experiments as well. We found that water coming directly from the tap had an ORP of +290mV, while the water coming out of the water alkalinizer had a negative ORP. The more negative the ORP of a substance (that is, the higher its negative ORP), the more likely it is to engage in chemical reactions that donate electrons. These electrons are immediately available to engage in reactions that neutralize positively charged free radicals. This is the key benefit of water produced by a water alkalinizer that is not available by simply drinking water

that has had some bicarb or other compounds dissolved in it to make it alkaline.”

“Free radicals are among the most damaging molecules in the body and are highly unstable molecules that are oxidizing agents and are electron deficient. They are a principal cause of damage and disease in the body. Oxygen free radicals contribute significantly to a broad variety of harmful conditions in the body ranging from life-threatening conditions such as heart disease, stroke and cancer, to less severe conditions such as sunburns, arthritis, cataracts, and many others. Free radicals MUST get electrons from somewhere and will steal them from whatever molecules are around, including normal, healthy tissues.”

“Damage to tissues results when free radicals strip these electrons from healthy cells. If the damage goes on unchecked, this will lead to disease. For example, the oxidation of LDL cholesterol particles in arterial walls by free radicals triggers an immune system response that results in atherosclerosis, the principal cause of heart disease. The negative ions in alkaline water from an electrolysis machine are a rich source of electrons that can be donated to these free radicals in the body, neutralizing them and stopping them from damaging healthy tissues. Specifically, these ions have the potential to engage in the chemical reactions necessary to neutralize oxygen free radicals.”

~Dr. Ray Kurzweil, Award-winning Scientist, Inventor (15)Dr. Ray Kurzweil is one of the world’s leading inventors, thinkers, and futurists. He’s been awarded 19 honorary doctorates, honored by 3 US Presidents and is recipient of many of the nations highest awards for excellence. He has been called “the restless genius” by the Wall Street Journal and “the ultimate thinking machine” by Forbes magazine and PBS included him as one of 16 “revolutionaries who made America,” along with other inventors of the past two centuries. Time magazine writes, “Kurzweil’s eclectic career and propensity of combining science with practical, often humanitarian applications have inspired comparisons with Thomas Edison”. Among Kurzweil’s many honors, he is the recipient of the $500,000 MIT-Lemelson Prize, the world’s largest for innovation. In 1999, he received the National Medal of Technology, the nation’s highest honor in technology, from President Clinton in a White House ceremony. And in 2002, he was inducted into the National Inventor’s Hall of Fame, established by the US Patent Office. Author of several books Dr. Kurzweil second book in 1993, The 10% Solution for a Healthy Life, How to Eliminate Virtually All Risk of Heart Disease and Cancer, was published by Crown Publishers. The book stemmed from Ray’s successfully curing himself of type II Diabetes through a nutritional program he had researched himself.

Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi

“Devices to produce reduced water were introduced into our clinic in May 1985. Based on the clinical experiences obtained in the past 15 years, it can be said that introduction of naturally reduced water (using H-01 Active Hydrogen Generator) or electrolyzed-reduced water for drinking and cooking purpose for in-patients should be the very prerequisite in our daily medical practices. It is because any dietary recipe cannot be a scientific one if property of water taken by the patients is not taken into consideration.”

“Several natural waters such as Hita Tenryosui water drawn from deep underground in Hita city in Japan, Nordenau water in Germany and Tlacote water in Mexico are known to alleviate various diseases. We have developed a sensitive method by which we can detect active hydrogen existing in reduced water, and have demonstrated that not only ERW [Electrolyzed Reduced Water] but also natural reduced waters described above contain active hydrogen and scavenge ROS [Reactive Oxygen Species' free radicals that contain the oxygen atom] in cultured cells.”

“Reduced water suppressed the growth of cancer cells transplanted into mice, demonstrating their anti-cancer effects in vivo. Reduced water will be applicable to not only medicine but also food industries, agriculture, and manufacturing industries.”

“If the world has accepted antioxidants to slow down the aging process, it should readily agree to the uses of ionized alkaline water as an anti-aging agent. Their roles are closely linked and intertwined such that a lasting anti-aging program is incomplete without addressing both free radicals and organic acid wastes.”
