Is electrolyzed water really good for your health?

Compared with other places, there are obvious aging phenomena in some parts of the world. People seldom get sick, live a healthy life and have a higher average life expectancy. People call these places "Changshou Village". The representative areas of "Changshou Village" are: Caucasus in southern Russia, Yamanashi Prefecture in Japan, Fenza in Pakistan, Turpan in Xinjiang, Bama in Guangxi, etc. In these areas, there are many elderly people over 65,438+000 years old. Researchers from the World Health Organization (WHO) and related institutions have investigated the secrets of Changshou Village and found that the key to health and longevity lies in high-quality drinking water. ?

The famous water in Bama, Guangxi is a miracle of nature. It is small molecular alkaline ionized water, which is rich in a large number of minerals and trace elements beneficial to human body. Its solubility is as high as 765,438+0%, and its negative potential (ORP) is as high as-65,438+0.92 mv. With strong reducibility, it is an expert in removing oxygen free radicals from human diseases and aging. This is a long-lived wealth endowed by nature, and it is also a natural treasure that generations of Bama people are proud of. ?

After painstaking research, scientists have come to the conclusion that the high-quality drinking water in Changshou Village meets the following requirements:

1, clean and pollution free;

2, rich in mineral elements and trace elements necessary for human body;

3. Small molecular cluster structure;

4. It is weakly alkaline;

5, it has the characteristics of negative potential and can resist aging;

6, have the right amount of dissolved oxygen and hydrogen. ?

According to the characteristics of good water in longevity areas, scientists from all over the world have finally produced high-quality longevity water (electrolytic functional water) by electrolysis after decades of research and practice.

Anyone who has read middle school chemistry knows that oxygen and hydrogen can be obtained by electrolyzing water. When water is electrolyzed (direct current), hydrogen (H2) can be obtained at the cathode (negative electrode) and oxygen (O2) can be obtained at the anode (positive electrode). This has been used in industry for a long time to produce oxygen and hydrogen by water electrolysis. Similarly, the principle that electrolytic tap water produces alkaline electrolytic water (electrolytic reduction water) and acidic electrolytic water (electrolytic oxidation water) was discovered by British Nicholson and Carlisle more than 200 years ago. 193 1 year, researchers from the Japanese Ministry of Communications (equivalent to the Ministry of Communications of China) visited Ji Fang and began to pay attention to the electrolysis of water, and made the first water electrolysis device (the predecessor of the electrolyzer).

1953 developed the first electrolytic water-making machine, 1954 was used in agriculture, and was tried out in agriculture together with Professor Akiba of Tokyo University and Professor San Pu of Tokyo Agricultural University.

It is found that soaking seeds with alkaline electrolytic water can obviously improve the germination rate of plant seeds. The use of acidic electrolyzed water in orchard not only has good insecticidal effect, but also has good preservation effect, which greatly prolongs the preservation time of flowers and fruits. At that time, the trial application of electrolyzed water in agriculture can be summarized as six words: cultivation, preservation and insecticidal.

In the future, alkaline electrolyzed water will be used in animal husbandry and aquaculture, and the amount of alkaline electrolyzed aquatic milk consumed by dairy cows will be greatly increased. The survival rate of cattle, sheep and poultry has been greatly improved. It has been widely reported by the media since then.

1958, after clinical trials by many doctors and verification by ordinary users, the first electrolytic water maker for daily drinking was developed, which was then called "Shennong liquid water maker".

1960, Japan Shennong liquid medicine research association was established.

1965 10.8, the Ministry of Health and Welfare of the US Food and Drug Administration (now called "the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare", equivalent to the Ministry of Health and Welfare of China and Japan) and the Director of Pharmacy (now called "the US Food and Drug Administration") issued "Document No.763", which was distributed to prefectures and counties, and officially approved electrolyzed water as a medical device for management. This is the earliest approval document of the Japanese government on the efficacy of electrolytic water.

In this document, medical instruments are classified as 2 1 and electrolyzers as 19. "Cathode liquid, as drinking water, is effective for chronic diarrhea, dyspepsia, abnormal gastrointestinal fermentation and acid production. Anode solution can be used as weakly acidic astringent water for beauty, disinfection and sterilization. " Among them, "catholyte" is electrolytic reduction water (alkaline electrolytic water) produced at the cathode side of the electrolytic cell, and "anolyte" is electrolytic oxidation water (acidic electrolytic water) produced at the anode side of the electrolytic cell, also called acidic water.

1966, the storage tank electrolyzer "Shennong Liquid Water Manufacturing Machine" became the first electrolyzed water product approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare, which opened a new chapter for electrolyzers to enter the homes of ordinary people.

During the period of 1978, due to the public's insecurity about drinking water and the improvement of health awareness, a large household appliance company in Japan named the electrolytic cathode water "alkaline ionized water" for marketing according to the characteristics that the electrolytic cathode water is alkaline and rich in hydroxyl ions (OH-). Since then, this intuitive, simple and catchy name has been quickly accepted and spread by the public. Therefore, as a "medical substance generator", the electrolyzer has been called "alkaline ion water machine" since this time.

1979 the continuous generation of alkaline ion water machine was approved for production. It is directly connected with tap water through a hose, so as long as the faucet is turned on, electrolytic reduced water can be continuously obtained. Later, a water purification device (now called "fine filter element") was added to the drinking machine, which greatly improved the safety of drinking water.

As an electrolytic water-making machine, carbon rods were used as electrodes at first (the water-making machine has a short life and a low water yield), then ferrite was used as anode and stainless steel was used as cathode (the electrolytic water yield was still low), and now platinum-titanium alloy is used as electrode, forming the third generation product of the electrolytic water-making machine, which has been used for 30 years.

Since 1985, Dr. Lin Xiuguang and Dean Kawamura have observed cases of clinical improvement after drinking "reduced water" in Kobe United Hospital, Japan, involving: (1) the decrease of blood sugar level of diabetic patients; (2) Early cure of diabetic foot gangrene; (3) Improve gastric and duodenal ulcer and prevent recurrence; (4) The uric acid value of gout patients decreased early; (5) Early improvement of liver function in patients with liver diseases; (6) Improvement of hypertension, hypotension and cold hands and feet;

(7) improvement and cure of allergic diseases such as allergic dermatitis, asthma, urticaria and rhinitis; (8) improving hypercholesterolemia; (9) Improve menstrual disorders and menopausal disorders; (10) Improvement of autonomic nerve disorder; (1 1) Improvement and cure of chronic diarrhea and chronic constipation; (12) Improve and cure rheumatoid arthritis; (13) Improvement and cure of refractory diseases such as Behcet's disease; (14) Improvement and cure of Kawasaki disease; (15) Early improvement of neonatal serum bilirubin.

Dr. Lin Xiuguang believes that the source of all diseases is "oxidation of reactive oxygen species", so eliminating the oxidation of reactive oxygen species can prevent or cure diseases.

65438-0988 Dr. Lin Xiuguang of Japan published a research report on "Eliminating human free radicals by electrolysis of water" in the International Society of Environmental Medicine.

While electrolyzed water is widely recognized as drinking water and medical water by the Japanese government and people, in June, 1992 Japanese TV reported "Today's Big Event", which introduced the clinical case of treating diabetic gangrene with alkaline ionized water by Zong Dian, director of Kobe United Hospital. This successful case of treating diabetic gangrene with water almost subverted traditional medical knowledge and caused great repercussions in Japanese society for a time. There has been a "whirlwind of alkaline ionized water" in Japan, and famous large household appliance manufacturers in Japan have poured into the electrolytic water machine industry. During the two years from 1992 to 1993, as many as 2 million electrolyzers were sold in Japan. The irregular and explosive growth of the market has led to fierce competition, and various businesses have deviated from commercial norms. In order to increase the sales quota, the effect of electrolytic water is almost dreamy. In this exaggerated publicity environment, consumer complaints are also pouring in.

1September, 1992, in order to respond to social needs and standardize the electrolyzed water market, the alkaline ionized water association (electrolyzed water machine association) was established. Its purpose is:

1. Organize further scientific research on electrolyzed water;

2. Popularize the knowledge and usage of electrolyzed water through electrolyzers;

3. Establish and improve professional ethics, including sales methods of electrolytic water machines.

199265438+In February, the National Life Center of Japan (equivalent to the "Consumer Council" of China) released the inspection report of the electrolyzed water machine products, and many media questioned the efficacy of electrolyzed water, which attracted the attention of the Japanese parliament. After the National Assembly's defense, the Ministry of Health and Welfare asked the Alkaline Ionized Water Machinery Association to produce scientific evidence on the effectiveness and safety of electrolyzed water to human body. At the same time, consumers' doubts about alkaline ionized water increased, and the sales heat of alkaline ionized water machines dropped rapidly.

In order to further clarify the safety and effectiveness of alkaline ionized water,1April, 1993, the Ministry of Health and Welfare established the "Functional Water Research and Revitalization Consortium", and established the alkaline ionized water review committee chaired by Professor Chuan Jiaze from the Faculty of Medicine of Kyoto University to formally carry out the scientific demonstration of the functions of alkaline ionized water.

1994 Committee issued the Interim Report on Safety and Effectiveness, which clearly affirmed the safety and effectiveness of alkaline ionized water in treating some diseases. In the same year, the Functional Water Research and Promotion Consortium held the first "Functional Water Academic Conference" in Japan (once a year thereafter).

1997 alkaline ion water review committee announced the scientific demonstration results of alkaline ion water, and reaffirmed the safety and efficacy of alkaline ion water on gastrointestinal tract. As a result, the Japanese industry began to revise the safety standards of electrolytic water machines to provide consumers with better products. In the same year, Professor Shirakawa of Kyushu University in Japan published a research paper entitled "Eliminating Free Radicals by Electrolytic Reduction of Water" in the international authoritative academic magazine BBRC, and put forward the theory of "Neutralizing Free Radicals with Active Hydrogen", which set off the scientific community's attention and research upsurge on "the role of hydrogen in drinking water".

1April, 999, at the video conference on the theme of "Electrolytic functional water in medical field" held by the 25th annual meeting of the Japanese Medical Association, alkaline ionized water was effective for chronic diarrhea, dyspepsia, abnormal gastrointestinal fermentation, pantothenic acid, hyperacidity and constipation. This annual meeting officially shows that electrolyzed water has been recognized by the Japanese medical community and has a far-reaching impact on the future development of the entire electrolyzed water machine industry in Japan.

In September 2002, Japan Functional Water Society was established, aiming at establishing a national academic exchange platform to acquire, accumulate and popularize correct information related to functional water, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of making Japan a world leader in this field.

In 2003, at the 26th General Assembly of Japan Medical Association, an academic seminar entitled "Progress of electrolytic functional water and its role in medical treatment in the 2 1 century" was held.

In 2004, Japan officially promulgated the national standard JIS-T2004 Household Electrolyzed Water Generator as a criterion to ensure the safety and effectiveness of electrolyzers.

In 2005, Japan revised the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, and electrolyzers were officially established as "home-managed medical devices". JIS-T2004 is also officially regarded as the certification standard for the management of medical devices. The document of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare 1 12 defines its purpose and function, that is, "making direct drinking alkaline electrolyzed water that can improve gastrointestinal symptoms". The certification of household medical devices for electrolytic water machines has also been changed from the original Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare to a third-party certification body designated by it that meets the qualification requirements. As long as it meets the JIS-T2004 standard, it can be certified as a home medical device.

Up to now, as an alkaline ionized water for drinking and treating some diseases, after nearly 80 years of invention, experiment, repeated questioning and argumentation, it has finally risen from non-governmental organizations to the national level, determined the national certification standard of electrolytic water, and made clear the safety and effectiveness of electrolytic reduced water for some diseases. This is the most serious, rigorous organization, the most advanced means, the longest demonstration time and the clearest conclusion for a kind of drinking water. There is no drinking water in the world that has been verified by the country on such a large scale as electrolytic water. The conclusion is that electrolyzed water is safe for human body and effective for the treatment of some diseases. With the development of science and technology, many countries are still studying the effectiveness of electrolytic water in treating many diseases, especially the important role of electrolytic water in delaying human aging.
