Hydrogen Rich Water Guidebook

(2) O2- is further reduced by hydrogen atom H ( active hydrogen radical ), producing active oxygen H2O2 ( hydrogen peroxide ).

(3) H2O2 is further reduced, producing active oxygen HO・（ hydroxyl radical ） and hydroxide anion ( HO- )．

(4) HO・ is reduced by hydrogen atom, producing water ( H2O )

(5) HO- is also reduced by proton ( H+ ), producing water. CONCLUSION Oxygen from the lungs keeps producing active oxygen species ( O2-, H2O2, HO・) in the body, but these kinds of active oxygen species are reduced successively through bonding with atomic hydrogen (active hydrogen ) and eventually revert back to the original water. （

Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi specialized in Cardiovascular Surgery after graduating in 1968 from the Medical School of Kobe University, Japan. In 1985, after 20 years of clinical experiences as a surgeon, he began advanced research on water . Dr. Hayashi would like to share his 25 years of research and documented clinical experience on the health aspects of drinking hydrogen rich water and how it can help improve your health and vitality without side effects.

Dr. Hayashi's research papers on Ionized Water are absolutely the most quoted and referenced Ionized Water research papers on the Internet.

Lucky for all of us, Dr. Hayashi didn't stop his research at Ionized water. He observed the biggest benefit of Ionized Water was that the Ionized Water process made hydrogen readily available to the body as the most powerful anti-oxidant known.

But there was one significant challenge, constraining the Hydrogen in the water until it was ready to be conveniently consumed -- anytime or anywhere. Hydrogen, an extremely light gas dissipates in just a matter of minutes. Leaving the once beneficial Ionized Hydrogen-Rich Water, now  hydrogen poor and energy depleting.

He knew through his research that everyone is hydrogen depleted, but having people sitting all day at their Water Ionizer, normally found on the kitchen counter, waiting to instantly consume their next glass of Ionized hydrogen rich water, before the hydrogen could escape was neither practical or convenient.

Dr. Hayashi realizing that Water Ionizers could never be a practical means of producing Hydrogen-rick water, set out to find a new practical process and methodology. In 2001, he succeeded in developing the "Hydrogen Producing Mineral Stick"  which produced Hydrogen Rich Water very simply, reliably and inexpensively. In December 2005, he was able to improve upon the design and delivery system with a new stick which is made of unique microporous sintered polypropylene as a new patented delivery system.

Hydrogen Rich Water Sticks been sold successfully in Japan for the past 7 years and are now available in America today for you and your family -- to use anywhere and anytime.

Dr. Hayashi's sticks do not share any of the potential negative health hazards that Water Ionizers can produce, namely over alkalizing your drinking water. Dr. Hayashi's sticks do however preserve all the proper positive benefits, namely negative ORP values, safe alkaline pH levels and the enormous benefits of readily available hydrogen rich water - ready whenever and wherever you need it.

It is believed that in the near future hydrogen will change our lives from their very foundation.

Something that is attracting a great deal of attention at the moment is the fuel cell automobile. The fuel cell vehicle is based on the principle of running on the energy generated by the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. This would be the ultimate eco-car because the only byproduct of this reaction is water.

Another reported idea is the use of this same principle for an electrical power generator to be installed in homes as a power source for lighting, heating as well as mechanical application. When this happens, the world would literally change because each household would have its own power station and there would be no more need for thermal, hydro and atomic power plants, as well as power lines and steel towers.

What interests me in particular is that this time comes , it will be extremely simple for every household to produce its own Hydrogen Rich Water.

When Hydrogen Rich Water can be obtained simply, reliably and cheaply, I think the world will change dramatically in a different sense from that mentioned above.

That is, maintaining good health and preventing disease will no longer be considered topics worth discussing, and people will not constantly be making a fuss of diseases (“It’s cancer!” ”It’s diabetes!” ”It’s hay fever!”) as is presently the case.

Also, if you have drunk a little too much alcohol or smoked a little too much, or don’t feel well, or seem to be cathing a cold, or have caught influenza, it would be easy to get rid of the symptoms simply by consciously increasing your intake of Hydrogen Rich Water.

I would like to end with the philosophy I have learned from Hydrogen Rich Water during these past eighteen years. I think hydrogen should be called “ the source.” That is to say, hydrogen, the element with the atomic number One, is the “source” of all the other elements, and the sun, which nurtures all things with its solar energy, is actually a big ball of hydrogen.

At the same time it is hydrogen atom, or active hydrogen, that protects us living organisms from disease.

My conclusion follows below.
I propose that the Creator of the universe, and the Creator of all living things, created hydrogen as the first element in order to protect all its living creatures from disease.

I have concluded that modern medicine is nothing more than "medicine to alleviate downstream pollution while leaving upstream pollution alone."

Let me explain the basis of this argument.

When we digest the food we take in by mouth in our stomach and intestines, these digested nutrients are absorbed through the intestinal walls. The nutrients absorbed through the intestinal walls pass through the portal veins and are carried to the liver in that order. The nutrients that are carried to the liver undergo various metabolic processes, after which they pass through the hepatic vein into vena cava inferior and carried to the organs all over the body by general circulation.

That is to say, they are transported in this order:

Liver ► Hepatic vein ► Vena cava inferior ► General circulation ►Organs all over the body.

As a whole, the order is:

Digestive system ► Portal vein ► Liver ► Organs all over the body.

If we think of the liver as a kind of "checkpoint station", the parts of the process that occur before reaching the liver can be referred to as "upstream", and the parts that take place after leaving the liver as "downstream."

As shown in Illustration , the portion from the mouth to the liver can be called as "upstream" ( Lake Ontario : checkpoint before liver) while the organs that come after the liver can be as called as "downstream" (River Saint Lawrence : checkpoint after liver).

Looking at metabolism this way, we see that when the "upstream" is polluted, the "downstream" will become polluted as well. Thus, the disease-causing substances of upstream will cause diseases of downstream.

Now I think you understand my statement that "Modern Medicine is medicine to alleviate downstream pollution while leaving upstream pollution alone."

What, then, does "upstream pollution " mean ?

It means "production of offensive feces" by "abnormal gastrointestinal fermentation." Because the substances that cause offensive feces are substances that result from the putrefaction of protein (eggs, fish or meat), they are called "putrefied metabolites." In short, it is as if people who always excrete offensive feces were eating rotten eggs, fish and meat everyday. The difference is that if they were eating rotten food, they would get sick immediately, while in this case the food rots after they eat it, so it takes more time for them to get sick.

Therefore, it is important to lead a lifestyle which does not produce offensive feces. But now we have what can change offensive feces into clean feces as if by magic, that is Hydrogen Rich Water.

A week or two after people begin to use Hydrogen Rich Water, they notice that their feces have literally changed in comparison to when they were using tap water (hydrogen poor water).

That is, the "blackish brown, bad-smelling, hard, heavy feces" of the tap water days changed to " light brown, soft, light feces without a strong bad odor, ",similar to the bowel movements that appear in the diapers of a breastfed baby. We adults tend to think that it is natural for adults feces to have a bad smell, but this is actually a great misconception.

Every breastfeeding mother knows from her experience that when her baby has light- colored soft stool with very little bad odor, she can be sure that the baby is healthy, drinking plenty of breast milk, and growing well. On the other hand, when the baby has "blackish,bad-smelling,hard stool," the baby is cranky and feverish, and sometimes vomits up milk.

The condition of producing offensive feces is generally called abnormal fermentation of gastrointestinal tract, which indicates the opposite of normal fermentation ,but simply put, it is "decay."

In other words, if the food we take in by mouth has a rotten smell (bad smell) when it is excreted from the anus, this means abnormal fermentation has taken place.

Let us look at a simple explanation concerning the substances that cause disgusting feces brought about by abnormal gastrointestinal fermentation

Some of the substances that cause disgusting feces are hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, histamine, indole, phenol or nitrosamine, all of which are toxic, pathogenic, substances.

• Hydrogen Sulfide : A strongly toxic substance with a distinctive rotten-egg odor.
• Ammonia : A strongly toxic substance with a distinctive irritating odor commonly found in public toilets.
• Histamine : A substance that triggers allergic conditions.
• Indole : A toxic, carcinogenic substances with a smell like rotten onions.
• Phenol : Recognized to be carcinogens due to carbolic acid.
• Nitrosamine : Known as a first-class carcinogen.

In a sense, failing to deal with offensive feces is like having a time bomb in your body.

You can, however, defuse this time bomb by drinking Hydrogen Rich Water.

Now we will talk about the actual method of making Hydrogen Rich Water . The well known method in Japan is the electrolysis of water (the principle of electrolysis of water is to split water, a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, back into original hydrogenand oxygen.).

The two kinds of water obtained by this process have been called ionized alkaline water (water with increased hydrogen) and ionized acidic water(water with increased oxygen), which you have probably heard of. I studied electrolyzed water for many years, and it is true that this cathodic water contains a large amount of hydrogen immediately after it is produced.

However, since hydrogen is the lightest element in the universe, this water loses its hydrogen rapidly, and in 2001 it was revealed that it reverts to ordinary water only several minutes after it is produced. Therefore I decided to call this cathodic water ”Temporarily Hydrogen Rich Water " (hydrogen rich only after electrolysis).

In contrast, the water I have named " Constantly Hydrogen Rich Water ", and which I am now presenting as a new proposal, is water obtained according to chemical formula written below. It is a reaction in which magnesium metal reacts with water to produce magnesium hydroxide, while producing at the same time atomic hydrogen which then makes molecular hydrogen.

Mg + 2H2O ► Mg(OH)2 + 2H ► Mg(OH)2 + H2

Mg = Magnesium Metal H2O = Water
Mg(OH)2 = Magnesium Hydroxide H = Atomic Hydrogen (Active Hydrogen)
H2 = Molecular Hydrogen (Hydrogen Gas)

Incidentally, general textbooks say that magnesium does not react with cold water or room-temperature water. Actually, however, we have verified experimentally that magnesium reacts well even with cold water to produve hydrogen gas.

Please see the home page of the Ishikawa Prefectural Komatsu Technical High School (http://www.kth.ed.jp/pub/staff/gie/index.html) for the following:
" ...magnesium powder is not soluble in water. It reacts gradually with cold water and intensely with hot water, producing hydrogen. It dissoves in dilute acids and alkalines, producing hydrogen...."

Our new proposal concerns the Hydrogen Producing Mineral Stick made of a magnesium base mixed with natural pebbles. Simply by inserting this stick into water, you can make Hydrogen Rich Water easily, reliably and inexpensively.

 Hydrogenases are enzymes that can reversibly split molecular hydrogen to produce atomic hydrogen.

It is believed that we apparently have such hydrogenases in our bodies. Incidentally, all living organisms on this earth, both plant and animal, are termed "DNA oraganisms." This means that all living organisms on the earth share common ancestor. I will now write about our ancestor born 3.8 billion years ago.

In 1997,an article called "Biological Activition of Hydrogen " by R.P.Happe of Amsterdam University was submitted in the English Journal" "Nature", Vol. 385,pp 126,'97. The main thrust of this article is as follows. Hydrogenases are enzymes that can reversibly split molecular hydrogen. ...... the crystal structure of a Ni/Fe hydrogenase (from the bacterium Desulfovibrio gigas) was reported. ...... Ni/Fe hydrogenases are among the oldest enzymes (3.8 billion years old) , demonstrating that early life forms had developed an effective way to activate molecular hydrogen at ambient temperature and pH....... .

My own explanation of this article is as follows.

It is active oxygen that threatens the survival of living organisms. For living organisms to survive, it was necessary to develop a mechanism for scavenging active oxygen. The best way to scavenge active oxygen is by means of atomic (active) hydrogen. To produce atomic (active) hydrogen, it is necessary to split molecular hydrogen. The hydrogenase developed by bacteria 3.8 billion years ago, an enzyme that split molecular to produce atomic hydrogen.

We have seen, then. that to ensure their own survival, it was necessary for living organisms to achieve the ability to produce active hydrogen in order to scavenge active oxygen ; hydrogenase developed by the oldest bacteria 3.8 billion years old was one of theses enzymes. Moreover, we may consider that this hydrogenase was the ancestor found in the bodies of higher creatures including ourselves.

 It turns out that the true form of reduction is the function of hydrogen. Incidentally, various substances have been proposed as substances capable of removing active oxygen; that is, substances with reduction effect (anti-oxidants).

Among these, the most effective one is undoubtedly active hydrogen. The other so-called anti-oxidant substances cannot compare to it. As mentioned previously, active oxygen is oxygen with a particularly strong oxidizing function. What we normally call "hydrogen" refers to molecular hydrogen or H2. In contrast, atomic hydrogen or H is specially called "active hydrogen" because it has a particularly strong reducing function. Let us look at Table 1 in the last section of this booklet.

The water around us (such as tap water) is hydrogen poor water, but if you infuse this water with hydrogen gas taken from a hydrogen gas cylinder, it can reach up to a value of 1.49 ppm ( hydrogen saturated water ). Meanwhile, by inserting the hydrogen producing mineral stick into the same water, you can obtain water that is abundant in hydrogen, which I call Hydrogen Enriched Water.

Now, what happens when we incorporate Hydrogen Rich Water into our everyday lives ?
In a nutshell, there will be a huge decrease in our probability of getting sick.

Why is it possible to make this statement ? Because the thinking goes as follows:
When Hydrogen Rich Water,( water rich in molecular hydrogen ),enters our body, this molecular hydrogen is broken down into atomic(atomic hydrogen) in the body. The active hydrogen bonds with active oxygen, though to cause all kinds of diseases to produce safe, non-toxic water that leaves the body in the form of urine and sweat.

In short, we may consider that when Hydrogen Rich Water enters our body, it gets rid of the active oxygen that is produced in the body from moment to moment. Therefore there is a significant decrease in our probability of getting sick.

Active oxygen is something like the exhaust fumes produced by automobile engines. If we liken gasoline to food and air to oxygen, active oxygen would correspond to the exhaust fumes produced after the gasoline has combusted.

As already mentioned, it is believed that in burning up our food, around two percent of the oxygen we breathe in through our lungs becomes active oxygen.We breathe about twenty times per minute, and active oxygen is being produced in our bodies each time we breathe. Since the volume of air we breathe in with each breath is 500 cc, we are breathing in about 10,000 cc of air per minute.

As twenty percent of this air, or 2,000 cc, consists of oxygen, two percent of this amount, or 40 cc, becomesactive oxygen.  Thus, each minute about 40 cc of active oxygen is being produced in our bodies. This amounts to 24,000 cc per hour and 57,600 cc per day of active oxygen. Considering this moment-by-moment production of large amounts of active oxygen in our bodies, it is no wonder that we tend to fall prey to disease. We, on the other hand, have in our bodies several enzymes, such as SOD(superoxide dismutase), catalase and glutathione peroxidase, which remove this active oxygen.

As we get older, however, the function of these enzymes alone becomes insufficient to dispose of the active oxygen effectively. As a result, we fall to prey to various diseases. This means that if we could dispose of the "active oxygen" effectively, we would be able to achieve good health and longevity. The functional mechanism of active oxygen is oxidation. In order to suppress the (particularly strong) oxidizing function of active oxygen, it follows that we require a substance that has the opposite function to oxidation. The opposite function to oxidation is reduction, and reduction originally refers to the function of hydrogen.

Consequently, we can say that the originator of reduction is none other than hydrogen.
