WATER FOR HEALING

ART OF HEALING
By DR AMIR FARID ISAHAK

Examining the rejuvenative powers of water.

THIS is the continuation of my article Water for Life (Fit4Life, March 28, 2010). I am
actually on a lecture tour with Dr Masaru Emoto, the world–renowned author of
Messages from Water, Water Crystal Healing, and many other titles (11 books,
about three million copies sold worldwide). Our current tour takes us to Bangkok,
Jakarta, Manila, and Hong Kong.

Dr Emoto speaks about beautiful water crystals that form from pure, energised
water, especially when it is exposed to good thoughts, pleasant words, prayer,
melodic music and songs (hard rock and metal music produce crazy crystal
patterns), pictures, and objects. He is also passionate about preserving water as the
source of all life on earth.

When water is exposed to any form of energy or energy ‘footprint’, its molecular structure changes so
that it resonates with that energy source.

Oxygenated water

Water that comes from springs and waterfalls contain more dissolved oxygen.
Whenever water is disturbed (flowing, splashing, waves, etc), more air is mixed with
the water, and more oxygen dissolves. That is why fish ponds have waterwheels and
irrigation systems to keep the water flowing continuously.

1
Ponds and lakes that are oxygen-rich are cleaner, and have healthier and bigger
fish. Commercial fish and prawn farmers know the critical value of increased oxygen-
content in water.

Likewise, increased dissolved oxygen in our drinking water is also beneficial. I have
often been asked about this, since in school we are taught that our body gets oxygen
only from the air (our red blood cells absorb the oxygen from the lungs and release it
as they circulate throughout the body).

You must remember that red blood cells float in plasma, which is over 90% water.
Enriching this water with oxygen offers a supplementary supply of oxygen to our
cells. Experiments have shown that those who drink oxygenated water have
increased energy and endurance, and it is reasonable to expect, better health in the
long term too. There are many testimonies of people who have improved their health
through regular drinking of oxygenated water.

Ways to oxygenate drinking water

Distilled and RO water are unfortunately low in oxygen content. Distilled water is
often called “dead water” because the method of production drives out the dissolved
oxygen. When exposed to air, it dissolves carbon dioxide more readily than oxygen.

Nevertheless, pure water can dissolve oxygen better than impure water. However,
the problem is retaining the dissolved oxygen as it is normally a gas at room
temperature.

There is commercially available bottled oxygenated water with improved oxygen-

retention. However, the “leakage” rate may still be high if you consume it some time
after production, or if it has been exposed to the warm weather or high temperatures.
Tests have shown that the claimed oxygen content (seven or more times higher than
ordinary drinking water) is true only when the bottles are fresh from the factory, with
gradual loss over time and with heat exposure.

So if you want to benefit from drinking it, you must make sure that you get the
freshly-produced bottles. Once opened, you should finish it as the oxygen will quickly
escape.

For those who desire an even higher oxygen-content, there is a method to make
fresh oxygenated water using a stainless-steel flask and medical-grade oxygen
cartridge. This gives more than 20 times the dissolved oxygen compared to ordinary
drinking water. The oxygenated water is under pressure, and when released, it
comes out much like the carbonated drinks from the drink-dispenser.

To get maximum oxygen, you must drink it immediately, once dispensed.

A more convenient method is to use stabilised oxygen solution (oxygen that is kept
stable in liquid form at room temperature). It is available in 60ml bottles that you can

2
carry with you and use 10-20 drops per glass of water or juice. For obvious reasons,
it should not be used with hot drinks.

Hydrogen water

Hydrogen is the simplest element. The hydrogen ion (H+) is the atom without its
electron. However, if the atom carries two electrons (instead of the usual one), it
becomes a negatively-charged ion (H-). As explained in the previous article,
negatively-charged ions can act as antioxidants if they readily give-up or “donate”
their electrons, since free radicals need the electrons to become stable (and stop
damaging our cells).

Negatively-charged hydrogen ions (H-) are ready donors and therefore act as
excellent antioxidants. Water that is rich in H- is a valuable contributor to our defence
against ageing, disease, and cancer, all of which have free radicals as the major
causative factor.

There are natural sources of water that is rich in H-. One example is the water in the
Hunza Valley and similar areas where the melted glaciers also contain healthy
colloidal minerals.

Modern science has allowed us to create “hydrogen water” (abundant in H-) from our
domestic water supply using a table-top water-treatment system to give pure,
alkaline, energised, hydrogen water.

Resonant water

According to Dr Emoto, the beautiful crystals formed during controlled freezing of

different sources of water reflect the resonance between the water and the prevailing
energy influencing it.

We already know that life is an energy phenomenon. Everything in life can be

explained through energy. Einstein gave us E=mc² (implying that matter is
condensed energy) and scientists believe we are getting closer to explaining
everything through one simple formula (General Theory of Everything).

However, we are still struggling to explain how thoughts, words, prayers, music and
songs, pictures, patterns, colours, and objects can transform health, fate, and fortune
(e.g. in Feng Shui and Vastu Shastra). Well, the work of Dr Emoto has opened
some doors to this mystery.

What he has shown us is that all these have their corresponding energy “footprints”
or patterns, and amazingly, water is the only material that can sense or “read” this
energy “footprint” and become transformed by it. One manifestation of this is the
different crystals emerging after exposure to the different energy “footprints”. This is
the resonance effect.

3
When frozen, pure water forms hexagonal crystals, with beautiful patterns sprouting
out from the corners, depending on the energy it receives/contains. The centre of the
hexagon somehow serves as a picture-frame where the crystal-version of a picture
to which the water is exposed to is displayed.

Sometimes the crystal pattern mimics the physical form so closely, it is incredible.
Water placed on a picture of an elephant actually formed crystals that showed an
elephant trunk! Seeing is believing.

Among the many pictures of water crystals Dr Emoto showed us were the beautiful
crystals representing the major religions. However, the crystal representing the
religions put together was the most beautiful. This does not mean that we should
combine our religions into one (which will be confusing), but that if all the followers of
the different religions are at peace with one another, then life will be harmonious and
beautiful.

As a Muslim, I am particularly fascinated by the crystal patterns representing each of

the “99 Beautiful Names of Allah”. Dr Emoto has made the entire set of 99 crystal
patterns, although he showed only a few during his talks.

Water and healing

In summary, when water is exposed to any form of energy or energy “footprint”, its
molecular structure changes so that it “resonates” with that energy source. If the
energy source can heal, the water acquires that ability. This is how prayers said over
water will turn the water into healing water. We have bridged the gap between
science and spirituality!

This is also how water exposed to qi (life-force), energised material (e.g. scalar
energy, FIR) or programmed energy waves (e.g. MRET, molecular resonance effect
therapy) become transformed into healing water. Water exposed to intense qi shows
amazing transformation. Within minutes, the water will taste as sweet as syrup. For
that to happen, some molecular change must have happened to the water.

At the molecular level, the energy changes the angles between the two hydrogen
atoms that are attached to the oxygen atom. This changes its properties, and leads
to the changes we see in its behaviour, including forming different crystal patterns
when frozen.

At the cellular level, according to Dr Emoto, there are water “poles” on our
chromosomes which enable water molecules to “activate” our DNA. Further research
may reveal that water has many health and healing effects on our genes, and
determines much of our overall wellbeing.

So don’t underestimate the value of water to your health and to our survival. Say
some prayers or nice words every time you drink, and don’t forget to give love and
thanks to water whenever you encounter it.

WATER FOR LIFE

Art of Healing
By DR AMIR FARID ISAHAK

All you need to know about the various ‘treated’ waters that are available in the
market.

WATER is the essence of life. All creatures evolved out of marine life. Even the
creationist view of life does not exclude the importance of water. Our body is 55% to
75% water (depending on age and health, with decreasing percentage with
increasing biological age), and our cells are 70% to 90% water. Dehydration is one
major effect of ageing, and this can be clearly seen in the ageing skin.

Water is not only essential to the health of our bodies, but also to the health of our
earth. The gaia concept views earth as a living organism which, like all living
organisms, depends much on clean, health-giving water.

Unfortunately, our blatant neglect of the lakes, rivers, and oceans, and our persistent
pollution of the environment has contaminated most of our water sources. Some of
the rivers that flow through major cities around the world are so murky, only mutant
fish can survive! As clean water sources are becoming scarce, in future, wars will be
fought over water, and not just oil.

Water for health

In the past, all we needed to do to drink a glass of clean water was to turn on the tap.
Nowadays, nobody drinks from the home tap anymore, and for good reasons. The
quality of the domestic water supply is suspect, and often obviously deficient and
dirty (depending on where you live). We only drink boiled, filtered, or bottled water.

With the realisation that filtration was necessary, we were then bombarded by a
whole array of water filtration and treatments systems. Some fantastic claims are
being made about the health and healing powers of the treated water, so it would be
good if I explain to you some of the terms used.

Purity and sterility

The gold standard for water purification is the distillation process, which involves
boiling the water and then condensing the steam as distillate. In this way, pure water
is obtained due to its specific boiling point. Boiling also sterilises the water (kills
viruses, bacteria, and parasites).

Modern technology has enabled reverse osmosis (RO) technology to be equally as

good. The best filtration membrane is so fine that only water molecules pass
through, excluding even viruses. Pure, sterile water is the result. It is so reliable that
even urine can be recycled (e.g. Singapore’s Nuwater). However, you will not get the
benefits of urine therapy by drinking it, since it is just pure water.

All other methods of filtration (e.g. layered sand, fibre filters) do not give the same
purity as the above two, although it can come close if multiple filter systems are
used.

6
Besides distillation and RO, other methods used to sterilise include UV light and
nano-silver. Do note that you can have sterile water that is not pure – e.g. if
impurities are not filtered out before boiling (unless you collect only the distillate) or
UV-irradiation.

Note that if it is not safe for drinking, then it is not good for bathing too, since the skin
absorbs water and whatever it contains easily. Be sure to have an outdoor filter
system for your whole house if you are serious about your health. For added safety,
have a table-top unit in your kitchen to re-filter (and alkalinise, energise, etc.) for
drinking.

Acidity and alkalinity

The pH of pure water is seven (neutral). However, distilled and RO water tends to be
slightly acidic due to its readiness to absorb the carbon dioxide in the air, turning it to
carbonic acid.

Impure water is acidic, and is not good for health. Our blood is always alkaline (pH
7.35 to 7.45), and the body has to maintain this at all cost to ensure homeostasis
(optimum physiological conditions around the cells and organs) is maintained,
allowing all cellular functions to continue.

The body does this through acid and alkaline buffers which are outside the blood.
Thus, if you drink or eat too much acid foods, or produce too much acids (e.g.
starvation diet leading to ketoacidosis), then your alkaline buffers will be used to
maintain the alkaline blood pH, at the expense of your cells and organs. These will
be surrounded by acidic conditions and their functions may be impeded.

Once the body runs out of alkaline buffers, then the blood pH becomes more acidic,
and organ failure follows. A body that cannot restore its alkaline blood pH will die.

All the natural healing water (e.g. Lourdes, Zam-Zam) are alkaline. From my
explanation above, you will understand why this is so. Our unhealthy diets and
lifestyles tend to increase the body’s acidity, and alkaline water will neutralise this
tendency.

My advice is for you to get a water treatment system that produces alkaline water.
The best ones allow you to select precisely the pH that you require (most natural
alkaline water are around pH 9), and also discharges acidic water which you can use
for skin health. While alkaline water is good for drinking, acidic water is excellent for
skin health and beauty (skin pH is 5.5), and for feminine hygiene.

Molecular size

The terms micro-water, nano-water, clustered-water, structured-water and a host of

other terms all describe the fact that pure, energised water molecules tend to form
small clusters, and the water behaves better in dissolving, cleansing, and other

7
functions, including healing. While all the physical actions of water can be proven in
the laboratory, the healing effects of small water-molecule clusters have not been
validated by scientific studies, although there are ample testimonies from those who
have benefited.

It is not surprising at all that smaller water clusters should have better healing effects
since all the functions are improved, and maintaining health (and healing) is a major
function of water.

The smaller clusters result from the change in the angle between the two H
(hydrogen) and O (oxygen) atoms that constitute the water molecule. This is possible
through a change in its energy state, and is responsible for the improved properties
and functions.

Mineral content

The best natural healing water is also rich in minerals. However, do not correlate this
with all the mineral water that you drink. You must understand the difference
between organic and inorganic minerals.

For example, the mineral water that contains minerals from dissolved rocks and
stones (e.g. mineral pot) contains inorganic minerals that are not easily assimilated
by the cells, and may be detrimental under certain conditions.

If there is dehydration, or changes in acidity, they tend to form stones in the body.
Rock-derived minerals may form mini-rocks inside you!

Organic minerals are plant-derived. The natural water that contains organic minerals
flow through earth layers that are rich in minerals formed from pre-historic plants,
which have denatured.

When dissolved, these layer of organic minerals form colloidal minerals. The Hunza
Valley water is especially rich in such minerals because the glaciers collect the
organic minerals as they travel down the mountains.

It is best that you get your minerals from fruits, vegetables, and other foods and not
worry if your water is sufficiently mineralised, unless you are sure that the minerals
are organic. However, some mineral content is necessary if the water is to be
ionised.

Ionised water

Charged or ionised H+ and OH- atoms and molecules can be obtained by splitting
the water molecule, by passing an electrical current. However it is easier to charge
the dissolved minerals. Since the body functions through subtle electrical currents,
the availability of charged atoms and molecules can help in health and healing. For

8
example, when you have an injury, the injured cells’ electrical charge is disturbed
and this initiates the healing process.

Negatively-charged ions also act like antioxidants, neutralising free-radicals and thus
help in fighting disease, ageing, and cancer. Thus ionised water is often called
“antioxidant water”.

Energised water

You have seen how energised water can improve its healing power through a
change of its molecular structure. But how is water energised? Most water-treatment
systems do this though FIR (far infrared) obtained from treated ceramics or other
materials. It can also be energised by scalar-energised volcanic minerals or metals.

Finally, it can also be energised by sending life-force (qi, reiki or prana, etc) to it.
While FIR and other measurable energy-forms are easily understood, the effects of
scalar and qi-enhanced water can only be shown through innovative means.

Secrets of water

Dr Masaru Emoto is the eminent water-scientist who revealed to the world the
“Secret Life of Water”. He showed though scientific methods that water not only has
memory, but also emotions.

When frozen under controlled conditions, pure and polluted water formed different
crystal patterns. Water that had pleasant words and prayers recited formed beautiful
patterns, while water that got negative words formed ugly patterns.

Scalar and qi-energised water also formed exquisite patterns. Watching the crystals
slowly forming, with the accompaniment of music, is an unforgettable experience. Dr
Emoto will be giving his much-awaited lecture on more secrets about water in Kuala
Lumpur on 3rd April 2010. You should not miss this experience.
