Kangen Healing Water Brief History of Kangen Water Here’s a brief background of this incredible water and how electrolyzed water machines became an incredible tool of preventative medicine and health at home. Initially developed for agricultural purposes and adapted by open mined doctors, it has slowly developed to be a medicinal device in Japan in 1965. More than three decades of clinical studies has shown that the electrolyzed water enhances healing power of the human body as well as being eco friendly. In by the mid 90’s, Kangen water and its benefits were started to be recognized in the public and the technological advance enabled various companies in Japan to develop smaller in home units. In 1998, Dr. Shirahata of Kyushu University had discovered the connection between electrolyzed water and holy water, often called in many parts of the world as “Miracle water.”  Such water exists in Tolacote Mexico, Nordenou Germany, and Hitatenryo Japan. This water is known for its tremendous healing power and has shown that it works against just about any diseases. For Decades, Hundreds of people take pilgrimage to these sites everyday. Dr. Shirahata has found that all these waters have a Common property; tremendous anti oxidant power. He soon came up with a theory that “Active Hydrogen” is the reason behind such incredible healing abilities. Many scientific studies on this water have been resumed, bled by the Functional Water Foundation in Japan since 1995; the full potential of electrolyzed water has not been confirmed yet. Recently, in the U.S. experimental studies on the water unit are being conducted at U.C.L.A. Seton Medical Center, U.S. Dept of Agriculture, Georgia University, University of Texas, as well as other scientific institutions. Clinical Uses of Kangen Water in Hospital Treatment In Japan, there are now hundreds of hospitals and clinics that use Kangen Water as a part of their medical practices. The following list illustrates some of the most common usage scenarios with different illness cases. 1.) Various types of Cancer This will be the eventual poster boy figure for the recent Kangen Water phenomenon. The water seems to work very effectively, whatever, type and stage that cancer might be at. A few years ago, there was a public project organized be a veteran nurse who helped develop ALL of 30 terminal patients she took on recovered from their death beds, all within months, simply giving them Kangen water to drink. The amount of water the patents had to drink was between 4-10 liters a day. The types of cancer varied from breast, bladder, lung, liver, stomach, intestinal, prostate, to even leukemia. All patients had been diagnosed as terminal from their previous doctors. 2) Rapid Reduction in Blood Sugar Level in Diabetes Patents. It has been observed that about 80% of diabetes patients who started intake of Kangen water showed lower blood sugar level levels with in two weeks. 3) Rapid Healing of Gangrene of the lower limbs, due to diabetes In Kobe Japan, at the Kyowa hospital, two diabetic patients diagnosed with their lower limbs with gangrene who had not shown signs of recovery despite of pharmaceutical treatment, had their limbs saved within a month of surgery after they were given Kangen water to drink and soaking their limbs in strong oxidized water.

Thereafter, all treatments, including medications, IV’s and diet were discontinued after six months of Kangen water as a sole treatment, his liver function had returned to normal. 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 gastric cameras showed no remaining ulceration. The result surprised the hospital director, who personally attended the testing, as well as the patient herself. There are a great number of cases in which there has been no recurrences of ulceration as long as sufficient Kangen water intake was continued.

She had tried fasting, vegetarian diet and a variety of other treatments. All treatments were unsuccessful.  Her dermatologist even refused to continue seeing her. A suggested therapy by a fellow colleague of the former doctor, she began drinking Kangen water and applied strong oxidized water externally, the condition was approximately 80% resolved. 8) Improved Kidney Function Instances of dramatic improvement have been observed in cases of chronic nephritis and impaired kidney functions with Kangen water. A bright outlook There is a long history of clinical testing, (over 30 years) Kangen water and the Ionizer water machines have been increasingly popular only in recent years, thanks to the media publicity since the discovery made by Dr. Shirahata of Kyushu University in 1998 when he discovered the connection between electrolyzed water and the Holy Waters that exist around the world. Since then, hundreds of hospitals across Japan started experimenting with Kangen water as well as, Super Acidic water as part of their medical practices for all kinds of cases and diseases. Coupled with its impeccable track record of Kangen water treatment, it began getting huge attention from the public in Japan, fueled by a series of documentary programs as well as countless numbers of testimonials from former patients appearing in many books and talk shows. As far as the market penetration goes some interesting numbers are indicating that it is indeed reaching the tipping point in Japan; Call For Demo And Testing : Satish Shukla 7505774440 Over 400,000 families have purchased such units over last few years It is also believed to be reaching at 5% market penetration in some urban areas, on a household installation basis as of 2004. However, the acknowledgement of this water and its benefits among the general public is much higher and is growing. The political battle is easy to guess. Doctors and the pharmaceutical industry want to protect their own interests. The Japanese government wants to slow down the hype and decides that the Kangen water industry cannot advertise or speak publicly of its merits, using “cure” language, until the science of this water is 100% proven. This sounds familiar, doesn’t it? With all this confusion the Japanese government bans claims on a grander scale, they have admitted to certain health benefits of Kangen water, and just have recently upgraded the water Ionizer models status, from being a health appliance to a medical device. If you put this in a global perspective, the water technology is practically non existent outside Japan. This means there is very little information available in English, not to mention the actual products we can buy here in the United States. Even worse, there are some people who are trying to sell cheaper Ionized Alkaline water machines as if they were the same or similar level as with the Kangen water machines, only cheaper. Cheaper for what? Something has been officially declared to have medical benefits by doctors and scientists. Enagic has put things in prospective; this water technology is just too good to be missed and to be fooled around with.

The ideal scavenger for active oxygen should be “active hydrogen”. Active Hydrogen can be produced in reduced water near the cathode during electrolysis of water. Reduced water exhibits high pH, low oxygen (DO), extremely high dissolved molecular hydrogen (DH), and extremely negative redox potential (RP) values. Strongly electrolyzed-reduced water, as well as ascorbic acid, (+) catechin and tannic acid, completely scavenged 0.-2 produced by the hypnoxanthine-xanthine oxidase (HX-XOD) system in sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). The super oxide dismutase (SOD) like activity of reduced water is stable at 4 degrees C for over a month and was not lost even after neutralization, repeated freezing and melting, deflating and sonication vigorous mixing, boiling repeated filtration, or closed autoclaving, but was lost by opened in the presence of tungsten trioxide which efficiently absorbs active atomic hydrogen (active hydrogen). Although SOD accumulated H2O2 when added to the HX-XOD system, reduced water as well as catalase and ascorbic acid could directly scavenge H2O2. Reduced water (electrolyzed water) suppresses single-strand breakage of DNA by active oxygen species produced by the Cu (II) catalyzed oxidation of ascorbic acid in a dose dependent manner, suggesting that reduced water can scavenge not only O2 and H2O2, but also 1O2 and OH. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION+ Characteristics of electrolyzed-reduced water. The principle of electrolysis was founded by Michael Faraday (1791-1867). In this process, reduction occurs at the cathode (+) and oxidation at the anode (-). Dissociation of H2O produces H- and OH- ions. At the cathode, H+ ions gain electrons to change into active atomic hydrogen (H-) Active atomic hydrogen exhibits high reducing potential. It is then changed to hydrogen molecules (H2) which are chemically inert at room temperature. At the anode, OH- ions lose electrons to form OH, which results in the production of O2, and H2O. Cathodic alkaline water (reduced water) is abundant in DH, whereas anodic acidic water (oxidized water) is abundant in DO. The relationships of RP with pH, DO, and DH in reduced water were shown in FIG. 1. Marked changes in these values occur in water after electrolysis. It should be noted that the DH value is higher in reduced water than in the original water by two orders of magnitude. Call For Demo And Testing : Satish Shukla 7505774440

OC questionnaire, part 2

@hautecreep (you asked for it)

2. Do you have a personal favourite among your OCs?

Yes. That’s still Devon. My post-apocalyptic genius dictator with the puppy eyes and otherworldly streak. He’s the most detailed and complex OC I’ve ever made and I miss playing him very much. Jacob here on this blog is a close second, though. Followed probably by Sasha.

I dreamt Devon. My friend at that time felt left out by some RPers in a group, so I suggested we should make our own RP. During all that brainstorming, one night, I had a dream where I saw a dark-haired young man in what appeared to be a hotel room high above the city, and outside, behind the windows, the world was burning.

That’s how Devon was born. He’s dear to me. I miss him.

I used to do a huge 30 day challenge for him, with graphics and all, so I will not spare you with details about my darling psycho prince ;)

Here are some of the questions to describe Devon (although I’m pretty sure nobody really wants to read this XD )

Age? 42 by the time of his death. Date of Birth? December 24th,  year 9 Hair color? Dark brown. Eye color? Dark green. Skin color/nationality? Caucasian / born in the territory of the former USA Accent (if any)? Devon considers strong accents as a lack of education, so he always pays attention to his pronunciation. Although he doesn’t talk much, anyway. Height? 170cm Weight? Weight can change over the years. Let’s go with body type. Skinny. Tattoos? He despises tattoos. However, in 42, he gets one by William personally, located on his left forearm. It says “Follow who will follow you”. Piercings? He got his ears pierced as a dare in 22, trying to connect with the older students at the University. Needless to say it didn’t work and they just made fun of him. Shortly after, he became employed at one of the virus-research-laboratories where he found the vaccine for the stage 2-virus. Birthmarks? No significant ones. Disfigurements? None. Scars? Several lighter scars on his forearms and chest.

What is their family history like? How does it affect them? How do they feel about their family? How does their family feel about them?

Devon’s parents were both academics.

Two years before Devon’s birth, his father Henry James Devon, a young and promising biologist, got a travel authorization to teach at Oxford University in England, where he met and fell deeply in love with Elizabeth Derwen Lloyd, a Welsh grad student working on her doctorate, a beautiful and warm-hearted woman.

An intense and passionate relationship evolved quickly; and when Elizabeth got pregnant, it caused a massive scandal that forced Henry to move back to the US. He could, however, take the pregnant Elizabeth with him after a short and unglamorous wedding. Her family never forgave her that she left them for her professor who had gotten her pregnant; they broke with her completely, but the love to Henry was too strong and intense for her to let him move back alone. This is why Devon never met or talked to anyone of his mother’s family and grew up isolated from them.

Elizabeth was already diagnosed schizophrenic, but the disease was treated and well medicated and generally under control until she gave birth to the boy Charles (named after Charles Darwin by his father) only a few months after she had moved to the US with Henry.

The lucky days of the little family ended very soon; Elizabeth developed a severe postpartum psychosis and killed herself only a few days after Devon’s birth. His father never recovered from her death and the loss of his love, and blamed Devon for her death for the rest of his life, turning into a bitter and cold tyrant who was almost never seen smiling again.

Although Devon never experienced physical violence and abuse in his childhood, the cold and distant attitude of his father had a strong impact on the young Charles and caused an early and severe personality disorder. His father, although at first fascinated and proud of his prodigy son, blamed Devon for the death of his mother and treated the boy coldly and in a hard and strict manner right from the start, forbidding all social contact to children of his own age, forcing a strict schedule and diet on the child (he didn’t know about chocolate and ice cream until he meets William). After he lost his wife, the love of his life, no holidays or birthdays were ever celebrated in the house of Devon again.

Henry Devon remained the only attachment figure in young Charles life and resumed being a disappointment. His only interest in his son was of academic, scientific nature. He never appreciated or encouraged him as a person and showed his anger and hostility openly; he never hid that he was blaming Devon for his mother’s death and never hugged or comforted his son or showed other signs of affection, which also lead to the severe antisocial, sociopathic tendencies and the social awkwardness Devon would show for the rest of his life.

Due to this emotional abuse, Devon started to hate his father early, which – combined with his sociopathic tendencies, his lack of morals and empathy – culminated in murdering Henry Devon by exposing him to the virus in the year 23.

What were they like as a child? What was their favorite toy? Favorite game? Playmates? It’s not surprising that, as a child, Devon was quiet and introvert, always a bit strange and very different from other kids. He was an outsider, a little sensation, a freak. Being gifted with unique intellectual abilities and having other interests, Devon was never among kids of his own age. Therefore, he didn’t have any playmates. His father didn’t encourage the boy to make friends, either. On the contrary, the strict schedule he set up for his son as well as keeping him away from normal activities, even prevented Devon from meeting other kids.

With his mother completely missing in his life from the earliest days, and his father being cold and distant, his behaviour towards his son nothing but emotional neglect, the lack of other family members or friends that could have been an influence, Devon could never develop a sense of basic trust or even the most basic social skills.

Devon’s father got rid of everything that could remind him of his wife, including photographs and toys she had chosen before Devon’s birth. Therefore, all of Devon’s early toys were chosen by his father, the educational value the only selection criterion. Devon soon found Rubik’s cube and similar toys boring and too easy and spent the rest of his childhood mostly in libraries, lecture rooms and laboratories.

Devon’s father (and Devon should share this opinion later) considered games and toys a waste of time. However, he did enjoy drawing anatomical and scientific sketches to a certain degree, when he started his studies in biology, which – as strange as it seems – would probably be the most child-like behaviour he showed.

Where (and when) did they grow up? How did they view it as a child, and did that change as they matured? How do they feel about the place now? Devon wasn’t born in EQ 1. He moved there in 21 with his father, enticed away to work at the Viral Research Center after the second outbreak of the virus, when people started to panic and scientists weren’t able to find a vaccine or cure.

Devon was born in EQ 2 and spent his first years there, growing up in his father’s apartment in close vicinity to the campus of the university the professor worked at and where the young Devon soon studied himself.

He didn’t like it at home. Although it was a rather large and comfortable apartment in a well-situated area of the quarantine, it was a cheerless, quiet place – and not a home. Devon’s favourite spot was his father’s library where he would spend many hours without talking at all, lost in his books and escaping from the cold atmosphere in the apartment and the coldness of his father.

Later, Devon tends to block out the unpleasant memories of his early years that were characterized by his father’s coldness, loneliness and the constant feeling of being an outsider and not belonging anywhere. He never returns to this place and tries not to think of it, at all.

Things didn’t get much better at home at first, after he moved to EQ 1 to start his work at the Viral Research Center. The tension between him and his father increased, since Henry Devon had to give up his renowned job at the university to now live in his son’s shadow. Outside their apartment, Devon first experienced respect and admiration for his successful work. It was the first place he’d been treated not only as a curiosity and abomination, but as a scientist and a great with hope. He was needed and publically adored after he had found the vaccine for the virus’ second form. This, of course, started Devon’s deep craving for control and power and adoration, but it also lead to Devon’s strong attachment to “his” Quarantine, and his massive efforts to make EQ 1 the biggest and most powerful quarantine on Earth.

Where did they learn their abilities? Devon’s extraordinary intellect and genius mind show early in his life and his father, a biology professor himself, nurtures his son’s talent as best and early as possible until he realizes that Devon surpasses him. Devon attends university at the age of seven, studying chemistry and biology at first, doing his first doctorate in organic chemistry when he is nine, his second doctorate in molecular biology and genetics when he’s ten. The prodigy is then allowed to study medicine as well, graduating as a Medical Doctor in an exceptional case at the age of 13.

If they have an income, where does it come from?  Devon starts working in the government’s viral research centre when he is 12, at first under strict control and restrictions. After he creates the vaccine for the mutated virus, he is given his own department and laboratory in the research centre. Devon becomes Director of the Department of Health and Science in 26 and one year later, in 27, Director of the Quarantine and holds this position until his death.

Do they have a job? Do they like it? How do they feel about their co-workers? During his whole life, he is a passionate and obsessive scientist, spending most of his time in laboratories, first in the viral research laboratories, later in his own lab. There is no clear barrier that would separate his professional from his private life. He enjoys spending time in his laboratory and with his research and experiments on genetics (cloning and creating artificial organs and manipulating DNA).

However, he hates people. He hates his co-workers when he works at the viral research centre and due to his young and tender age and his lack of social skills, he’s avoided and frowned upon, laughed at and even feared by the other scientists and co-workers. Later, he avoids working together with other people, having only one lab assistant at a time to support him after he becomes Director of Health and Science. He makes sure they’re not too bright and smart but still helpful and qualified enough, looking for weak and dependant personalities that can be easily controlled and influenced. Over many years, Eric is his lab assistant until he dies in the year 40. Devon goes along as well as possible with him since Eric usually doesn’t question his Director who he adores, being obedient and submissive enough to be controlled by Devon and William.

Why do they have their resources? How long have they had them, and how have they served the character over time? (Ex. Contacts, money, political power, fame, etc.)

Devon created the vaccine for the mutated, second form of the virus in 22. This made the young prodigy acknowledged and famous over night. Although he’d already been well-known in the scientific community this results in enormous popularity all over the world and people start calling him their “Saviour” – a feeling that Devon soon starts to like.

As a consequence, he starts manipulating the virus on his own, creating another mutation, the third and deadliest form which he sets free on purpose in 23 - of course after he created a reliable vaccine. After his scientific and political opponents and rivals are eliminated, he introduces the new vaccine to the public. He is the only person who knows the formula and keeps it secret. Devon manipulated it in a way that the serum is only potent for one year, which guarantees him full power and control over basically every living being on this planet (except those who are immune). He uses this not only to become Director of Health and Science and later Director of the Quarantine itself, but also to control the whole population of his Quarantine.

Devon provides the vaccine only to people who proof themselves worthy, useful and loyal – the most effective way to control the whole population and eliminate his enemies. He scotches every other research on the virus or the vaccine he created to ensure he is the only one who can produce and provide it.

He also makes a fortune by selling the serum to other rich Quarantines or private persons all over the world. Often enough, however, those deliveries fail – not only because of unsafe and dangerous transport routes – but also because Devon ensures the vaccine never arrives.

By creating and holding back the serum Devon becomes not only incredibly wealthy but soon the most powerful, most famous and influential man in the world, Director of the only Quarantine that is producing the vaccine. However, although he loves the worship and adoration and dependency of the inhabitants, he is publicity shy and avoids meetings and large crowds of people and becomes some sort of recluse.

Do they, or have they in the past, had a mentor? What was their relationship with this person, and how has it changed since then? Devon’s mentor was actually his father, nurturing his son’s talents and his intellect, paving the way for Devon to get the best education possible. First, this is because of pride, because he can show off his prodigy son, and because he can bathe and shine in Devon’s light as well; later, after the pride has turned into pure envy and hostility, it is only because of his sense of duty.

Devon never feels the slightest spark of gratitude, the feelings of disappointment and inadequacy outweighing the thankfulness. Devon suffers from his father’s coldness and emotional rejection and the blame Henry Devon is laying on his son for the death of his wife. In his early years, the boy constantly tries to impress his father, tries to gain his attention and approval and love. But after failing again and again, after getting nothing in return but hostility and jealousy, he gives up, his own feelings towards his father alternating between sadness, disappointment, disgust and hate. Devon finally kills his own father by exposing him to the virus. What sort of education have they had? Do they want more? Devon’s father took his son’s education in his own hands, as soon as he noticed the unique abilities of the child. After teaching the boy himself for a few years (especially in biology, chemistry, math, Latin and Ancient Greek; he almost completely neglected social sciences and humanities), he arranged that Devon could officially attend the University at the age of 7, after he realized that there was now nothing more he could teach Devon.

Devon achieved his first doctor’s degree in organic chemistry when he was 9, his second in molecular biology and genetics at the age of 10, his third as a Medical Doctor when he was 13. After this third doctorate, he completely dedicates himself to his own research.

In this respect, Devon got the best possible education on his field; and thus, he never wants more (as other subjects don’t interest him in the slightest).

The whole challenge is here: x
