What is living and dead water and do you need it

What is living and dead water

In Russian fairy tales like "Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf" these are liquids that can heal wounds and resurrect the dead. But representatives of alternative medicine now call water that has undergone electrolysis. We will talk about her.

Electrolysis is decomposition substances into ions under the influence of electricity. The two electrodes, the cathode (positive) and the anode (negative), attract ions with opposite charges. So neutral water becomes acidic at the anode and alkaline at the cathode.

Alkaline, or catholyte, is living water, and acidic anolyte, respectively, is dead.

What properties, according to adherents, does living water have?

Living water does not revive the dead. By assurance manufacturer of water treatment systems, it:

• raises immunity;
• fights oxidative stress;
• gives energy;
• activates biological processes in the body;
• increases blood pressure;
• stimulates appetite;
• speeds up metabolism;
• improves overall well-being;
• heals injuries;
• enhances the effect of drugs.

What properties, according to adherents, does dead water have

Dead water, in their opinion, should also heal the body. She is credited with:

• decrease cold symptoms;
• lowering blood pressure;
• reduced anxiety;
• sleep improvement;
• reduction of joint pain;
• fight against fungal infections;
• treatment of stomatitis;
• dissolution of stones.

What does science think about the division of water into living and dead

The properties of water catholytes and anolytes were first studied in Tashkent in the 1970s. Then scientists from the Research Institute of Natural Gas conducted a series of experiments in which they noticed that alkaline (living) water accelerates plant growth, and acidic (dead) - disinfects the soil. There are references to these studies on the Internet, however, it was not possible to find the source.

It seems that there is a meaning in this. Anyway There is several studies on the use of water anolytes for the disinfection of products and soil. But there is not a word about the treatment of infections and lowering the pressure.

Alkaline water actively explore in Japan on the basis of the medical center Matsushita Electric Works Co (Panasonic), because this company makes special ionizers for kitchens. There has been some evidence that alkaline water normalizes stools, is gentler on the skin, and improves the taste of tea. rice and meat. Again, there is no information that it prolongs life, affects metabolism and generally heals in every possible way.

It is interesting that if our adherents of living water treatment talk about increasing the effectiveness of medicines that washed down with alkaline water, then Japanese colleagues do not recommend doing this, because they consider it by itself medicine. So they warn that it is impossible to predict the effect of the interaction of batholith and drugs.

In general, there may be an effect. But it is difficult to say how safe and useful it is.

Is it worth it to heal with the help of living and dead water

More likely no than yes. There are studies, but real medical recommendations for 50 years of study have not appeared. You can cook with this water, you may like the taste better, but how much healthier you will become is not clear.
