What is Structured Water?

Water in our cells is not the same as the water in a bottle or out of a faucet. It is ordered like a crystal and the body must use extra energy to structure this water. Once water is structured it excludes particles and solutes as it forms and this zone is called the exclusion zone (EZ). It has a hexagonal structure similar to ice and is the transition zone between water and ice and is called the 4^th phase of water.

4^th phase water resembles the structure of ice, a honeycomb of plates linked together, a hexagonal structure. EZ structured water is denser than ice and water, due to the close hexagonal packing.

Body is ¾ water, cells are 99% water. Most water is bulk/dead water, H20, but water in body and cells is H302. The body has to used energy to covert dead water to H302 so it can penetrate the cellular walls and be used by the cells.

H20 is normally considered to exist in only 3 phases. The research of Gerald Pollack shows that water has a 4^th phase, H30, called the exclusion (EZ) zone. The EZ zone naturally excludes small molecules and toxins. H302 water is the vital water of life. H302 is a liquid-crystalline phase that is ordered or structured. Structured water is naturally built by the energy of the sun. Yes, sunlight structures water. Water absorbs infrared energy freely from the environment to convert bulk water into liquid crystalline water (4^th phase). It’s also called the exclusion zone or EZ water because it excludes solutes. The process of separating charge is similar to the first step in photosynthesis and also resembles a battery. The stored electrical energy can drive various kinds of work, including flow.

EZ water envelops every macromolecule in the cell. Your cell water is crystalline and plays a central role in every function of the cell. Sunlight builds your body’s EZ’s and is necessary for optimal cellular functioning. Energy builds order and separates charge.

The liquid crystalline structure naturally excludes solutes and particles creating a type of filtration. 4^th phase of water is essentially solute and bacteria free. No physical filter is required. The 4^th phase itself does the separation. EZ water rehydrates tissue better than ordinary water because of its high dipole content. EZ’s contain masses of separated charges, or large dipoles and can promote hydration and good health. The body’s cells are negatively charged and every effort is made to maintain that high negativity. Plants do it easily by connecting directly to the negatively charged earth (the atmosphere is positively charged). These negative charges are essential to life. Oxidation strips molecules of negative charge (electrons) and the body is constantly working to maintain proper negativity for health.

Structured Hexagonal Water:

• Hydrates and smooths water

• Clears the energy and toxic memory of water

• Increases energy by providing the crystalline structure required for cellular function

• Assists in nutrient transport

• Livestock and pet benefit

• Increases energy, improves health

• Less soap necessary when washing

• Hot Tubs & Fish tanks are cleaner

In 1973, researchers at Battelle Columbus Laboratories^[6] conducted a comprehensive literature, technology and patent search that traced the history of understanding the "bacteriostatic and sanitizing properties of copper and copper alloy surfaces", which demonstrated that copper, in very small quantities, has the power to control a wide range of molds, fungi, algae and harmful microbes. Of the 312 citations mentioned in the review across the time period 1892–1973, the observations below are noteworthy:

· Copper inhibits Actinomucor elegans, Aspergillus niger, Bacterium linens, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus subtilis, Brevibacterium erythrogenes, Candida utilis, Penicillium chrysogenum, Rhizopus niveus, Saccharomyces mandshuricus, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in concentrations above 10 g/L.^[7]

· Candida utilis (formerly, Torulopsis utilis) is completely inhibited at 0.04 g/L copper concentrations.^[8]

· Tubercle bacillus is inhibited by copper as simple cations or complex anions in concentrations from 0.02 to 0.2 g/L.^[9]

· Achromobacter fischeri and Photobacterium phosphoreum growth is inhibited by metallic copper.^[10]

· Paramecium caudatum cell division is reduced by copper plates placed on Petri dish covers containing infusoria and nutrient media.^[11]

· Poliovirus is inactivated within 10 minutes of exposure to copper with ascorbic acid.^[12]

A subsequent paper^[13] probed some of copper's antimicrobial mechanisms and cited no fewer than 120 investigations into the efficacy of copper's action on microbes. The authors noted that the antimicrobial mechanisms are very complex and take place in many ways, both inside cells and in the interstitial spaces between cells.

Examples of some of the molecular mechanisms noted by various researchers include the following:

· The 3-dimensional structure of proteins can be altered by copper, so that the proteins can no longer perform their normal functions. The result is inactivation of bacteria or viruses^[13]

· Copper complexes form radicals that inactivate viruses.^[14][15]

· Copper may disrupt enzyme structures, and functions by binding to sulfur- or carboxylate-containing groups and amino groups of proteins.^[16]

· Copper may interfere with other essential elements, such as zinc and iron.

· Copper facilitates deleterious activity in superoxide radicals. Repeated redox reactions on site-specific macromolecules generate HO• radicals, thereby causing "multiple hit damage" at target sites.^[17][18]

· Copper can interact with lipids, causing their peroxidation and opening holes in the cell membranes, thereby compromising the integrity of cells.^[19] This can cause leakage of essential solutes, which in turn, can have a desiccating effect.

· Copper damages the respiratory chain in Escherichia coli cells.^[20] and is associated with impaired cellular metabolism.^[21]

· Faster corrosion correlates with faster inactivation of microorganisms. This may be due to increased availability of cupric ion, Cu2+, which is believed to be responsible for the antimicrobial action.^[22]

· In inactivation experiments on the flu strain, H1N1, which is nearly identical to the H5N1 avian strain and the 2009 H1N1 (swine flu) strain, researchers hypothesized that copper's antimicrobial action probably attacks the overall structure of the virus and therefore has a broad-spectrum effect.^[23]

· Microbes require copper-containing enzymes to drive certain vital chemical reactions. Excess copper, however, can affect proteins and enzymes in microbes, thereby inhibiting their activities. Researchers believe that excess copper has the potential to disrupt cell function both inside cells and in the interstitial spaces between cells, probably acting on the cells' outer envelope.^[24]

Currently, researchers believe that the most important antimicrobial mechanisms for copper are as follows:

· Elevated copper levels inside a cell causes oxidative stress and the generation of hydrogen peroxide. Under these conditions, copper participates in the so-called Fenton-type reaction — a chemical reaction causing oxidative damage to cells.

· Excess copper causes a decline in the membrane integrity of microbes, leading to leakage of specific essential cell nutrients, such as potassium and glutamate. This leads to desiccation and subsequent cell death.

· While copper is needed for many protein functions, in an excess situation (as on a copper alloy surface), copper binds to proteins that do not require copper for their function. This "inappropriate" binding leads to loss-of-function of the protein, and/or breakdown of the protein into nonfunctional portions.
