PART I OUR GOBAL WATER CRISIS, GET INVOLVED, MAKE A DIFFERENCE 1 Introduction "Water is the material cause of everything" said Thales of millet - 6th century B.C. - Its genesis is related to that of the universe and our genesis to that of the water...

Welcome to “The Global Water Crisis & Benefits of Drinking Water,” inside here you will find 50 pages of information valuable to you living a longer happier healthstyle. Whilst you can have a poor lifestyle and still live, it is impossible to have a poor healthstyle for a length of time and remain alive.

●

About 2 billion people have no access to adequate sanitation, and as a direct result many of them die from water-related illnesses that could have been prevented. ● Not all of them live in third world countries.

There has been a lot of discussion lately concerning “the global water crisis” for some time.

In fact, it’s become somewhat of a “trend” with celebrities, many articles, reports and products devoted to the topic. See the “TAP PROJECT” and the list of celebrities involved.

For the record, just so we’re all on the same page, here is an effective definition of a global water crisis…

“A global water crisis is the sum total of mankinds failure to produce and distribute the clean water resources required globally and necessary for people to survive. “

How Acid Rain Affects Water Quality Our industrialised world has given us many wonderful things, acid rain is not one of them. The extent of chemical alteration resulting from acidic deposition or "acid rain," depends largely on the type and quantity of the soils and the nature of the bedrock material in the watershed, as well as on the amount and duration of the precipitation. Watersheds with soils and bedrock containing substantial quantities of carbonate-containing materials, such as limestone and calcite, are less affected by acidic deposition because of the high acid-neutralizing capacity derived from the dissolution of this carbonate material, however the damage caused by acid rain deposition occurs in environments that cannot tolerate acidification. Many species of fish, insects, aquatic plants and bacteria develop reproduction difficulties. Some even die. The decline in the population of any of these aquatic organisms affects the food chain. Dwindling populations of insects and small aquatic plants and animals are especially serious because the entire food chain is affected.

According to wiki..

There are several principal manifestations of the water crisis.

1. Inadequate access to safe drinking water for about 884 million people 2. Inadequate access to water for sanitation and waste disposal for 2.5 billion people 3. Groundwater overdrafting (excessive use) leading to diminished agricultural yields 4. Overuse and pollution of water resources harming biodiversity 5. Regional conflicts over scarce water resources sometimes resulting in warfare

2. The Global Water Crisis: Where Things Stand While more than a billion people have no access to clean water and scarcity is a factor, the shortage is primarily the result of inequitable distribution and poor management. Out of the 48 countries that are most adversely affected, 40 of them are located in the Middle East, and subSaharan and North Africa. Globally, the demand for clean water tripled in the twentieth century, and it now increases by 50% every 21 years.

A personal and much generalized view of this crisis looks something similar to this... ● Global warming attributes to the rapid glacial meltdown, eventually becomes salinated and therefore cost prohibitive to turn into potable (drinkable) water. ● The privatization of water services within a global monetary based system will not provide undeveloped nations with the water needed. ● Need based, regional approaches focus on satisfying individuals with their need of water, ensuring that minimum quantitative needs are being met. ● Although historically not a cause of war, paired with continued lack of food security, creates further tension and fear within communities and countries. ● Until mankind achieves the critical mass of vision and will required to provide humanity with basic securities we are destined to become enslaved by the governments and organizations who spearhead "initiatives" that will inevitably fail. ● No amount of funding will solve this problem, it will require a paradigm shift at a global level. ● The critics who recommend the three pronged approach of CONSERVATION, EFFICIENCY and COMMUNITY-SCALED INFRASTRUCTURE are likely to fall upon that trident as long as there are "stakeholders" involved in the key decisions.

Patti DiVita created a video which has gained a lot of popularity online and has agreed to shared her philosophy with us here, she is not an actor or producer but someone just like you or I who has taken action and is making a difference, here is what she had to say: The Global Water Crisis (GWC) is real and is not limited to third world countries. Water bans that are frequently issued in many parts of the United States, Canada and Europe affect the everyday life of people living in first world countries as well. We have the solutions but we do not have all the funds necessary to support methods that many water organizations could implement. In these times of financial difficulty, charitable giving in many sectors has decreased and there needs to be innovative ways to raise money.

People still go to the movies, buy DVD’s and Cd’s, and the idea I am proposing would give them the chance to support the solutions to the GWC by doing something they are already doing. The movie is set in the restaurant industry and because restaurants depend heavily on water, it’s a sensible partnership.

Every component of this idea of a benefit movie has been done in the past and by combining it all into one project, it would serve as a way to help many people.

tomaragua - The Benefits Of Drinking Water 2. Create more buzz on the subject by revealing interesting case studies and sharing their results.

3. If you use reusable drinking containers that are environmentally friendly instead of trendy throw away water bottles, and bottle your own processed alkalinized water from home you will a) contribute to the preservation of our environment, including the water supply b) Improve the health of yourself and your family c) Put more money back into your own pocket. Other suggestions include low-flow toilets and shower heads that can save more than 45 gallons of water per household every day, cutting back on time you spend in the shower to save 40 gallons, and running your dishwasher only once a day, saving 12 gallons.

PART II - Benefits of Drinking Water

1. WHAT THE Ph! Your bottled water could be rusting you on the inside Within your body, your organs and cells are totally subservient to your blood. All organs work to keep your blood at a balanced pH, to the point where your body is willing to inflict major damage on organs if they appear to stand in the way of correct blood pH.

Dirty Water Kills 5000 Children a Day! And though your city´s water isn´t necessarily the best thing for you, in general it is pH7 and so it´s better than some of the bottled water you buy everyday.

Here´s why Your bottled water could be rusting you on the inside..

The Optimum pH level - If your blood pH dips from its optimum pH 7.36 down to pH7, you will collapse into a coma and die.

That´s why you get such a kick from a can of Cola. Its pH 2.5 acidity sends alarm bells sounding off all over your body. Alkaline chemical stores that should be in use elsewhere are sacrificed to the call of the needed adrenalin that floods your system. The "high" you have learned to expect is no different to a high a dope user gets as he experiences his artificial sensory elevation. It is your body screaming "help!" and you, enjoying the thrill of the sensation of death. "It´s the real thing."

Of all all the acidifying factors, stress is the greatest. It can neutralize and acidify an alkaline diet with a single surge of adrenalin. Over time this acidity, which like rust "never sleeps," eats away like a zombie at our body tissue, eating into our 96000 kilometers of veins and arteries and left unchecked eventually interrupts all bodily functions from the heart to the brain synapses.

Eventually, once deceased, the acid will continue to eat away and become more acidic. Right now, though you possibly only see it visibly as dry skin or a subtle wrinkle or occasionally as a slight acid reflux, swallowing a tumtums or quickeze or some other antacid pill however is like putting a bandaid on a bullet wound.

2. Drinking Water for Maintaining Good Health

i - The Basics, Why You Need to Drink Water.......

When you were a kid in school, you learned that each molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Possibly you also learned that if you filled up balloons with water and dropped them off the roof of a building it was more effective than using your squirt guns, at least until someone caught you. What you may not have learned, however, was that you need water to be a healthy human being, and that drinking water is essential for maintaining good health.

Your body is estimated to be about 60 to 70 percent water. Blood is mostly water, and your muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water. Your body needs good drinking water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all your organs.

Water also transports oxygen to your cells, removes waste, and protects your joints and organs.

ii - SO WHAT´S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT THIS Alkaline WATER? As said, our bodies are comprised of up to 75% water. In Japanese the word "KANGEN" means return to origin, if water is the foundation of all life on the planet, doesn´t it not only make sense to preserve and conserve our resources but to also to be putting the best possible water into your body for optimal health and skin rejuvenation? iii - CHANGE YOUR WATER CHANGE YOUR LIFE Not All Water Is the Same! You know how important it is to stay hydrated, but have you ever investigated the difference between the different types of drinking water available? The truth is that not all waters are created equal.

Would you like to stop the literal “rusting” going inside you right now?

Kangen water creates a healthy alkaline body which offsets changes in the acid alkaline balance in your body and make you feel and look better.

Would you like to slow down the aging process and fight disease?

ANTIOXIDANTS & FREE RADICALS

i - ANTIOXIDANTS Antioxidants are your buddies! They are your front-line defense against the damaging effects of free radicals and can actually capture and neutralize the free radicals and prevent the chain reaction of damage they cause. Having an ample supply of antioxidants is essential to aging gracefully and in optimal health. There are many sources of anti oxidants, kiwifruit, green tea, sherba mate to name a few and of course Kangen water with it´s alkaline, micro clustered, antioxidising water molecules. Chronic inflammation is associated with diseases and ageing.

Many types of foods that are associated with an unhealthy diet can increase inflammatory conditions in the body, conditions such as obesity and other diseases. High-fat foods, especially those high in saturated fats, cholesterol and trans-fat, can increase inflammatory conditions.

Fried foods including chips and processed meats such as sausages are examples. The processed meats are also high in nitrates associated with some bowel cancers. High-sugar pastries are also sources of high fat, trans-fat and refined sugars. Consume instead foods which are unprocessed, and mainly plant based.

Vegetables including cabbage, broccoli, turnips and watercress are great for neutralizing free radicals, these veggies scavenge for the rogue free roaming ragbags that oxidize our beautiful bodacious bods and have been known to decrease their formation too other goodies are all the varieties of cabbage celery eggplant green tea and if you are in Latin America the sherba mate is reportably the highest yielding antioxidizing food. The key is to eat a variety of foods mainly from plant sources as the synergistic effect is priceless., and minimize the intake of those foods which increase inflammatory conditions.

ii - WHAT IS A FREE RADICAL? When you cut into an apple, within a short time it will turn brown. This browning process is known as oxidization, you might know it better as "rusting." This oxidization causes dehydration, on the outside we see this as wrinkles and the loss of elasticity, but on a molecular level it gets even worse. Once an atom loses an electron it becomes a "free radical." In an effort to get this electron back the atom steals from other elements, these elements become damaged and this is where health problems such as cancer and other diseases begin. Skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis are created by both internal and external imbalances. Our inner bodies need to be alkaline and outside more acidic. When these states are switched however, is when problems begin occurring. Doesn´t it make good sense then that if you help “switch it back”

tomaragua - The Benefits Of Drinking Water many of these ailments would not have the right environment to manifest?

DRINK WATER AND LOSE WEIGHT

YUP IT IS TRUE! Drinking water can speed up the weight loss process by helping to slough away those unwanted waste toxins. A good rule of thumb that the Himalayan sherpas use is to always leave room for water which helps to keep you feeling full. One or two glasses in the morning when you wake up helps to fire up your engine and gets your synapse sparking. Try to drink a glass up to an hour before you have lunch or dinner afterwards to aid neutralisation of excess acids after metabolising the meal and before you go to bed (It has been suggested that this can help prevent strokes.) So why are we getting fatter? Naturally it is because of the food we eat but as we have seen, there is a delicate balancing act going on inside our bodies between the acidic and alkaline states. Without sufficient polarity between the interior of the cell and the fluid surrounding it, the energy of the cell has difficulty flowing into the surrounding tissues. Ever thought to yourself if I could just “lose 10 pounds?� well adding alkaline water to your healthstyle can help with weight loss and the regaining of energy occurs more easily when we take the first steps toward an Alkaline "re-balance." As mentioned belore faced with an acidic interior the body "solves" the problem by dumping the "toxic waste" as far away from the organs as possible i.e the buttocks, chest, thighs and belly, and this becomes a playground or more correctly a killing field for free radicals wreck havoc on you. Another theory stated that as sugar is an acid, it (the body) creates fat to store and encase it, in effect protecting us from it.

It could be said that that fat is saving our lives!

Dr. Theodore Baroody, author of "Alkalize or die" says: " The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same basic root cause.. too much acid tissue waste in the body!" "Unfortunately your pH balance depends on what is left after metabolism." Even if we eat all the right foods 97% of those foods will be turned into acid waste. In fact there are no "good and bad foods" it is simply that alkaline foods have a more neutralizing effect.

SECRETS TO CLEARER SKIN - the fountain of youth You guessed right, WATER. Many spa owners claim that regular tap water contains bacteria and minerals which can clog pores. Over time, this can mean dull skin.

Take a long hard look at the people you consider attractive.

Blonde, brunette or redhead, exotic or girl next door, sophisticated or down-to-earth - they all usually have one thing in common... a clear, healthy looking complexion.

There are a few people out there who have simply been blessed by the Dermatology Fairy, but just a few. Most of the

people who strike you as healthy-looking and, let's face it, lucky, are in fact dedicated to a good skin-care regime.

We'd all like to have blemish-free skin, and the truth is, with a little commitment we all can, even you! So, how can you change your skin? No, it won't cost you a dime, all you need to do is change your habits. People with truly beautiful skin dedicate time, just a little, and the results are, well, the results are beautiful. According to Coco Chanel, nature decides what your skin is like at sixteen, the amount of sun you have taken determines what your skin looks like at 30 and that you deserve how you look at 50! That makes for a great quote but it isn´t strictly true.

The hormonal changes that the body goes though heading into puberty makes the inside and outside of the body a literal battlezone, drinking an alkaline water helps to stabalise and regulise internal function and efficiently remove the toxic wastes which can lead to skin problems.

Experts say the cleaner the water, the better it can clean. The purer the water, the more pure the skin. Far from Naive, High-end water merchants have for a long time been selling spray style water for the face because of the rejuvenating and revigorating effects of plain pure water on the skin. You literally have the fountain of youth sitting in your kitchen!

tomaragua - The Benefits Of Drinking Water

Here's How You Can Join the Ranks of Pimple Free People * A very good rule of thumb is “garbage in = garbage out.” Put good stuff in you! * WASH using an oil-free cleanser and your bare hands (washcloths and sponges damage your skin), in the morning, after exercise and before bed no matter how tired you are. * LAUNDER your sheets frequently - don't lay that freshly washed face on a less than fresh pillowcase! SILK pillowcases are good for slowing wrinkles too! * Alkaline KANGEN WATER is essential to clear skin and is ultra hydrating. You've heard it before, but here we go again: Drink at least eight glasses of water a day. * EAT HEALTHY FOODS. They are just as important to skin health as they are to overall health.

Fruits and vegetables provide vitamins and minerals; fish are full of essential oils; avoid junk foods. Research does not support the common myth that chocolates cause break-outs, but too much of any junk food is detrimental to your well-being, and is therefore bad for your skin. Get to know some of the different food types in the next chapter and challenge yourself to implement them into your healthstyle. * Don´t be MENTAL. SLEEP when you're tired. Sleep, relaxation, meditation are necessities, not luxuries. Physical exhaustion and stress are enemies of a clear complexion. If you are a teen, advise your parents that because of your growth spurts you need more sleep than adults do, it´s true! * BABY your skin. Don't pick at pimples. Avoid touching your face unnecessarily - the oil on your fingertips belongs on your fingertips, not on your face. Moisturize and use sunscreen with at least a 15SPF every day all year long.

Make these habits your own and you will see a difference in as little as a week. You may even find people looking a little longer at your face. That look... it'll be envy.

People will be wondering if the Dermatology Fairy has blessed you.

Share your secrets and this book with the envious masses. Imagine. A world populated by

DETOXIFICATION

This is the only real key to balance. We cannot achieve this balance through eating an optimized ranged of foods and it is the pH level after metabolism our food that matters to the body. It is left to the neutralizing effects of water to save our kidneys, liver and other organs from degradation caused by excess acid, this is why understanding the features and benefits of drinking alkalinized water is super important. The detoxification process is not to be taken lightly, your body is effectively going to go “cold turkey” and needs time to adjust and cleanse and heal itself. With regard to fibre, the weight inducing wheat that you have cleverly removed from from your diet isn´t necessary, because luckily there are plenty of other sources of fibre that you can use too, and I´m going for the shock effect here, to help literally scrape the crap off the insides of your bowels. For a complete list of these other fibre sources and if you would like to sign up you can Receive a FREE "Your Must Have Starter Kit To Permanent Weight Loss & Vibrant Health" 7 Day E-Course at the blog http://eatonadiet.blogspot.com Psyllium husk taken daily is also great for achieving a clean shiny bowel without harsh scratching, it may take some people longer than others but some people are just naturally more “full of it.” I can can see this getting lost in translation to Spanish but nevermind. This is one of the ways you can “drink water and lose weight” and actually you can really “lose weight fast,” remember if you are going through the detoxification process you will most likely lose weight quickly in the process.

UNDERSTANDING A HEALTHY ALKALINE BODY

We are alkaline by design - but unfortunately modern diets, lifestyles, stress and environmental pollution can put excessive stress on our body's natural buffer systems leading to excessive acidity in the blood and tissues.

This in turn if not corrected can lead to serious health problems.

Many people who embark on an alkaline water regime have found that immediate detoxification occurs, bowel movements normalize after years of malfunction and energy returns. They also can experience classic symptoms of detoxification including headaches, body aches,itching etc as the toxic, acidic minerals are washed out of the body. The latest worldwide research on Alzheimers has identified mercury as the prime suspect and causative factor. By living and eating in a way that causes imbalances to our internal pH, we reduce the operating effectiveness of our nervous system i.e the electrical conductivity which monitors and reports on how well our various organs are functioning. An inadequate supply of minerals directly affects our health and well being and with the mineral depletion extending to our agriculture due to bad farming practices over the years, it is now more important than ever to seek supplementation from sources other than foods.

i - Alkalinity and Mineral Assimilation To use iodine as an example. High up on the atomic periodic table, it requires almost perfect pH for its assimilation into the body. Iodine is required for a healthy thyroid gland (on the neck under the jaw.) But our thyroid receives NO iodine unless the body pH is almost perfect. Thyroid deterioration has been connected to arthritis, heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, depression, obesity and fatigue. Every mineral has its own signature pH level that permits assimilation by your body

tomaragua - The Benefits Of Drinking Water

ii - Alkalinity and Blood Blood is best slightly alkaline, and as the only transport system for nutrients to our bodies, blood cannot afford to be acidic. Its required to remain within a pH range that will maintain resistance to decay or putrefaction and growth of malevolent organisms, therefore pH 7.365 is ideal for a symbiotic harmonious environment. You know the dangers of your temperature rising only a few degrees above normal so a shift in pH can cause serious damage very quickly (car battery acidic doesn´t have the same pH as some so-called soft drinks but it is very close.) An example is a popular Cola drink, at pH 2.5 is almost 50,000 times more acidic than neutral water and you need 32 glasses of water at neutral 7pH to counteract the consumption of one glass (Active ingredient: Phosphoric Acid)

tomaragua - The Benefits Of Drinking Water

iii - The real power of pH The scale is logarithmic and as a result each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value. If any substance changes from pH7 to pH8 it has become ten times more alkaline, and from 7pH to 6pH ten times more acidic. It almost sounds complicated but it´s simple

SUPER HYDRATION AND SUPER SUGARS

Alkaline water with its small clusters as an efficient delivery vehicle for nutrients. The smaller clusters make for easier hydration and combined with super sugars known as glyconutrients which are all natural plant based 'raw materials' that help support your body's ability to produce special structures called glycoproteins, you have a powerful internal homeland security duo working within. Glycoproteins directly affect the ability of your cells to communicate with each other so they are functioning correctly. Everybody responds and fights disease the best when your cells are communicating effectively with each other. If you would like a copy of my other e-book “Glyco Nutrients & Super Sugar” which will be out shortly please mail me at info@globaljet.me with “new e-book” in the subject line and I will put you on my waiting list for a free copy.

SIGNS and DANGERS OF DEHYDRATION

SIGNS OF DEHYDRATION A mere 2% drop in our body's water supply can trigger signs of dehydration: fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on smaller print, such as a computer screen. (Are you having trouble reading this? Drink up!)

Mild dehydration is also one of the most common causes of daytime fatigue.

You lose water through urination, respiration, and by sweating. If you are very active, you lose more water than if you are sedentary. Diuretics, such as caffeine pills and alcohol, result in the need to drink more water because they trick your body into thinking you have more water than we need.

Symptoms of mild dehydration include chronic pains in joints and muscles, lower back pain, headaches and constipation. A strong odor to your urine, along with a yellow or amber color, indicates that you may not be getting enough water. Note that riboflavin, a B vitamin, will make your urine bright yellow. Thirst is an obvious sign of dehydration, and in fact, you need water long before you feel thirsty.

Recent research shows that caffeine only has a diuretic effect if you consume large amounts of it — more than 500 to 600 milligrams (or 4 to 7 cups of coffee) a day.

Still, caffeinated drinks can make you jittery, sleepless or anxious. Water is probably your best bet to stay hydrated. It's calorie-free, caffeine-free, for the moment inexpensive and if you are lucky, readily available.

HOW MUCH WATER DO I NEED TO DRINK?

How much water do you need? How do I drink enough? These water calculators can help you determine how much water you need to drink each day.

Every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water. HOWEVER, nothing can replace the value of drinking plain water by itself and in fact it makes it easier to regulate your daily intake. Because a cup of coffee is made with water does not equal on cup of your daily water requirements.

It CAN be difficult to drink enough water during the day. If you have a water machine you and your family can have water handy at all times by keeping a bottle, (dark plastic or stainless steel) for water with you when you are working, traveling, or exercising. If you get bored with plain water, add a bit of lemon or lime for a touch of flavor. There are some brands of flavored water available, but watch for extra calories, and be aware that they can be slightly acidic.

So how much water does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? In general, doctors recommend 8 or 9 cups.

Here are the most common ways of calculating that amount: A good estimate is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces of water per day that you need to drink. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, you should drink at least 80 ounces of water per day. If you exercise, you should drink another eight ounce glass of water for every 20 minutes you are active. If you drink alcohol, you should drink at least an equal amount of water.

When you are traveling on an airplane, it is good to drink eight ounces of water for every hour you are on board the plane. If you live in an arid climate, you should add another two servings per day. As you can see, your daily need for water can add up to quite a lot. Romi, a sherpa from Nepal advises always carry water with you and whenever you see it or think of it, drink it.

tomaragua - The Benefits Of Drinking Water At least twenty percent of the water you need will come from the foods you eat. The rest will come from the beverages you drink. Water is probably the best choice; sweetened soft drinks and sodas have added sugar that adds extra calories and can have almost the same level of acidity as a car battery. Sports drinks contain electrolytes and may be beneficial; just look out for added sugar and calories that you may not want. Fruit and vegetable juice are good because they have vitamins and nutrients (read labels, however -- vegetable juices may be high in sodium and fruit juices can have added sugar (bad)).

Replacement approach. The average urine output for adults is about 1.5 liters (6.3 cups) a day. You lose close to an additional liter (about 4 cups) of water a day through breathing, sweating and bowel movements. Food usually accounts for 20 percent of your total fluid intake, so if you consume 2 liters of water or other beverages a day (a little more than 8 cups) along with your normal diet, you will typically replace your lost fluids.

Eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Another approach to water intake is the "8 x 8 rule" — drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day (about 1.9 liters). The rule could also be stated, "Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid a day," as all fluids count toward the daily total.

Although the approach really isn't supported by scientific evidence, many people use this easyto-remember rule as a guideline for how much water and other fluids to drink. Caffeinated beverages like tea and coffee count too, but too much caffeine can make you feel jittery.

Dietary recommendations. The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume roughly 3 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day.

Even apart from the above approaches, if you drink enough fluid so that you rarely feel thirsty and produce 1.5 liters (6.3 cups) or more of colorless or slightly yellow urine a day, your fluid intake is probably adequate. If you're concerned about your fluid intake, check with your doctor or a registered dietitian. He or she can help you determine the amount of water that's best for you.

EXPERT AND LAYPERSON TESTAMONIALS

Below are testimonies from individuals that have tried Kangen Water and experienced results.

These testimonials were submitted by real people and are presented to you, unedited and in their own words.

Sang Whang, scientist, inventor and a drinker of alkaline water for 17 years, says the problem with trying to alkalize using food is that unless you can afford organic, you will metabolize a large amount of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and other chemical residues.

He adds that if you "overdose" by drinking too much alkaline water, it will simply pass through the kidneys and flush away any germs that may have taken up residence as it passes through.

Alkaline water is used by millions of Japanese and Korean families and has been part of their culture since the 1980´s. Alkaline water is used in hospitals, sanitariums and clinics all over these countries, and is already in high use in high water risk Mexico.

Ryan C., Laguna Hills, Ca How Long? = 9 months Hello to you all. Just to let you know the WONDERFUL benefits of Kangen water!! First I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2, chronic back pain, and thyroid issues where I had to take medicine for both my thyroid and diabetes.

Sometimes my back would be so bad I couldn't get out of bed. I do exercise (walk everyday) and try to eat healthy but I continued to take medication for five years before my friend told me about the Kangen water. My wife was familiar with alkaline water, she studied the benefits alkaline water can have for people with cancer or for prevention of cancers (she has a history of cancer in her family). We didn't hesitate getting the Enagic SD501 and we couldn't be happier and healthier!! My diabetes is COMPLETELY under control (no medication) and I'm pain FREE!!

My wife she calls are Enagic SD501 machine her PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE MACHINE!!

Yousef A., Lake Balboa, CA How Long? = 45 days Every winter I get rashes where my skin becomes very dry and cracks. Some nights I could not sleep, and due to scratching I will have pimple size blisters that won't go away until Summer. Of course I went and saw doctors and used all kind of moisturizers and creams which gave me little or no relief. Then my best buddy introduced me to Kangen water. I was kind of skeptical at first because my brain only works on science and proof, so I needed proof and when he told me he got rid of his acid reflex the moment he used Kangen water I believed him. I tried it for a week or so, I noticed I am not itching as much and I slept better. I drank more and more water, I think I was using his machine more than him and within a month I got rid of almost 95% of my symptoms and on top of that, my skin is clearing, so I bought the machine and I am spreading the good news and so excited about it I cannot believe it myself. I told another friend about my case so he bought the machine and then I told another friend about the program and this one said to me that the last time he saw me this much excited was 20 years ago when we took our first flying lesson. Thank you

Pipiena N., Tigard, OR How Long? = one month Two years ago I was told I had asthma, so I had to use inhaler. Actually three different inhalers and it was very expensive. But a month ago I started to drink Kangen water and I know this, my asthma is gone. I can sit there when someone is smoking and I don't have any problem breathing. I've been on Kangen water since last week of February 2008 and my family loves the water and our machine.

I must say that since using the alkaline water filter my health has improved no end. I have not lost a day of work to ill health since I started using it back in July and my skin looks amazing, some have even commented it looks like porcelian. My cats even drink it, one of which had a large lipoma (benign fatty deposit) on his chest which has now shrunk by 50%, his coat is gleaming and he has increased energy for a cat of his age (14).

I only wish I could convince others to buy the filter, others that are continually ill and refuse to believe my story.

EMERGING ISSUES

Emerging issues in water and infectious disease Tap water safety: I thought my city’s tap water was safe to drink?

It is a known fact that many municipal water distribution channels across American cities are in desperate need of replacement from old age and wear. Water contamination can occur at almost any point in the delivery channel including lead leaching from corroded pipe solder, bacteria entering the system from water main breaks, or gardening chemicals back-siphoned from a careless neighbor.

Unfortunately most local and state governments do not have the financial resources to address these very expensive problems now or in the foreseeable future. To make matters worse, most cities also add chemicals like chlorine and fluoride to their water. The truth is, tap water quality in the US will most likely continue to decline in the coming years. The best way to protect your family from the increasingly wide range of contaminants found in today’s tap water is by installing a reverse osmosis drinking water system.

Mineral Content: Is it beneficial to have minerals in drinking water?

This is actually the biggest myth in the water industry. To understand the issue clearly, first we need to examine “what minerals” are in our tap water. If we were to send a sample of water to a testing laboratory, we would get back a report that includes calcium, magnesium, and sodium along with a list of other minerals and contaminants. While some of these mineral are safe and benign, there are also many toxic ones on this list including fluoride, arsenic, chromium and radium just to name a few. Unfortunately there are no filtration systems available that can differentiate between good and bad minerals. Basic carbon filter systems will leave in all the minerals, including the highly toxic and radioactive ones. On the other hand, RO systems will remove 90-99% of these undesirable contaminants.

The truth is the majority of healthy minerals our bodies need come from the food we eat and not from drinking water. The main concern with water is actually over toxicity, not mineral content.

Whether water contains 1 or 100ppm (parts per million) calcium isn’t really important, but the difference between 1 and 100ppm arsenic is of grave importance.

According to recent news and reports, most tap and well water in the U.S. are not safe for drinking due to heavy industrial and environmental pollution. Toxic bacteria, chemicals and heavy metals routinely penetrate and pollute our natural water sources making people sick while exposing them to long term health consequences such as liver damage, cancer and other serious conditions. We have reached the point where all sources of our drinking water, including municipal water systems, wells, lakes, rivers, and even glaciers, contain some level of contamination. Even some brands of bottled water have been found to contain high levels of contaminants in addition to plastics chemical leaching from the bottle.

tomaragua - The Benefits Of Drinking Water A good water filtration system installed in your home is the only way to proactively monitor and ensure the quality and safety of your drinking water. Purification systems can remove 90-99% of all contaminants from city and well water to deliver healthy drinking water for you and your family. http://tomaragua.com/kangenwaterbiz DIRTY SECRETS ALKALINE New diseases, including water-related diseases, periodically "emerge" either because they are newly recognized or because their importance increases. This may be due to the micro-organisms themselves evolving, to changes in the way we manage water resources and supplies; changes in the tools and methods used to study the organisms and the health effects they cause; or due to changes in the human population itself.

WHO, USEPA and other agencies collaborate to address some of these challenges through an initiative on Emerging Issues in Water and Infectious Disease. The initiative leads to development and publication of state-of-the-art reviews based on wide international expert consultation, including: Reviews published on emerging issues in water and infectious disease include: Pharmaceuticals in drinking-water June 2011 Information sheet: Pharmaceuticals in drinking-water June 2011 Questions & answers on potential transmission of avian influenza (H5N1) through water, sanitation and hygiene and ways to reduce the risks to human health Legionella and the prevention of legionellosis Review of latest available evidence on risks to human health through potential transmission of avian influenza (H5N1) through water and sewage Waterborne zoonoses: identification, causes and control Heterotrophic plate count measurement and drinking water safety Toxic cyanobacteria in water: public health consequences, monitoring and management Pathogenic mycobacteria in water: A guide to public health consequences, monitoring and management Other information and associated products that may be of interest Guidelines for drinking_water quality: Microbiological agents in drinking water Guidelines for drinking water quality: chemicals index Water-related disease fact sheets DIY WATER FILTER Go Berkey Kit - Portable Water Filter with Sport Bottle & Carrying Case Berkey 3 Sport Berkey Portable Water Purification Bottles Royal Berkey Water Filter System With 2 Black Berkey Filters Kangen water machines

18. Bonus book - 3 “Secret” Steps to Clear Skin (No More Acne!)

The recipes for getting flawless skin and banishing dark circles con-tain much of the same informa-tion you would need for cur-ing acne, I would say about 80% of the “clear skin recipe” is diet, the rest is genetic poten-tial, exer-cise, skin care, and herbal assis-tance. And for acne, there is one more spe-cial con-sid-er-a-tion that we mentioned earlier, and that is hor-mones.

HOW TO GET RID OF YOUR ACNE IN 3 STEPS Get-ting rid of your acne comes down to these 3 things and I´m not 100% sure but all of them could include the use of Water and in particular Kangen Water could be of special benefit: • Bal-anc-ing your hor-mones in order to bal-ance sebum (oil) production • Eat-ing a a qual-ity diet to min-i-mize waste prod-ucts in your body and bring more nutrients to your organs (includ-ing your skin) • Keep-ing to a good skin care rou-tine to pre-vent dead skin cell build-up and acne bac-teria growth

tomaragua - The Benefits Of Drinking Water

STEP #1: HOW TO BALANCE YOUR HORMONES FOR CLEAR SKIN Eggs don´t suck but don´t suck eggs - Ever notice how women tend to get a pim-ple or two (or three…) around period-time? This has to do with an increase in estro-gen, the hor-mone that is closely tied with the con-di-tion of our skin. Now, if you keep com-ing in con-tact with a compound that pre-tends to be estro-gen, what is going to hap-pen? Quite a bit. These arti-fi-cial estro-gens (xenoe-stro-gens) in our envi-ron-ment can cause acne, weight gain, thy-roid dysfunc-tion, repro-duc-tive prob-lems, and a whole host of issues. Your expo-sure to these compounds can be greatly reduced by: • Drink-ing out of glass instead of plas-tic (do not use coated stain-less water bot-tles either, as they con-tain xenoe-stro-gens in the lining) • Using glass or stain-less un-lined food containers • Using nat-ural skin and care prod-ucts with-out parabens, syn-thetic ingre-di-ents, and arti-fi-cial preservatives • Eat-ing organic foods to avoid pes-ti-cides con-tain-ing xenoestrogens • Drink-ing and bathing in qual-ity fil-tered water to remove xenoe-stro-gens from the water (in my per-sonal well-researched opin-ion, I sug-gest you do not buy Brita, Pur, etc., they are cheaply made and fil-tered poorly) • Using phys-i-cal sun-blocks instead of chem-i-cal sunblocks • Using non-hormonal birth con-trol methods MAKE USE OF HERBS Try a hor-mone bal-anc-ing herbal blends ask your local dietician for a blend to help remove the arti-fi-cial estro-gen from the sys-tem and nat-u-rally reg-u-late your hor-mones. People who have taken these blended sup-ple-ments for a total of 6 months, say it com-pletely got them back on track. Many women also have a lot of suc-cess with chaste tree berry (also known as vitex), which is widely used for female hor-mone bal-ance. The herb increases prog-es-terone lev-els, which pre-vents estrogen-related breakouts.

There are plenty of help-ful books about get-ting a good under-stand-ing of hor-mones and how to keep them bal-anced nat-u-rally. Whether it’s acne, dry skin, menopause, men-strual issues, it’s all hor-mone related, and it’s impor-tant to under-stand what fac-tors influ-ence our hormones and how to bal-ance them ourselves.

EAT THE RIGHT FATS - Prostaglandins are fats that act like hor-mones, con-trol-ling skin and mus-cle con-di-tion, as well as inflam-ma-tion — which is why it is imper-a-tive that you are con-sum-ing qual-ity fats at a proper amount in order to pro-duce ben-e-fi-cial prostaglandins

tomaragua - The Benefits Of Drinking Water respon-si-ble for clear skin. Incor-po-rate these 4 sim-ple things into your daily rou-tine: • Do not con-sume “hydro-genated’ oils or fats ~ these trans-fats harm your heart, waistline, and skin • Con-sume more Omega 3 fats in the form of wild-caught fish, fish oil, and organic grassfed/truly free-range ani-mal prod-ucts (i.e. eggs, yogurt, kefir) ~ flax seeds may or may not be okay for you • Do not eat fast food, creamy salad dress-ings (unless you make it your-self), and fried foods ~ these will throw off your hor-mone bal-ance by pro-duc-ing the “bad” prostaglandins that pro-duce acne and inflammation • Eat more fresh organic fruit and green smooth-ies to bring more nutri-ents to your skin and keep your organs run-ning smoothly Carl-son Labs fish oil in lemon, and organic first-cold-pressed olive oil are great. Some of the foods that con-tain fat are grass-fed yogurt or kefir, grass-fed buffalo/beef (1–2 times per week), and raw fish (very rarely, maybe once per month or less). Be VERY critical if you feel you must con-sume any other ani-mal prod-cuts, if possible— no milk, no pork, no chicken, no but-ter, no cheese, etc. Grass-fed yogurt or kefir and grass-fed buf-falo and beef con-tain high amounts of CLA, an extremely healthy fat that pro-motes healthy weight and body fat per-cent-age (and even helps over-weight peo-ple lose body fat) and does not neg-a-tively effect our hor-mone bal-ance. What WILL effect your hor-mones in a bad way is con-ven-tional ani-mal prod-ucts, where the ani-mals are treated poorly, injected with hor-mones to make them grow faster and larger, and given antibi-otics to treat their numer-ous dis-eases due to unsan-i-tary con-di-tions.

When the ani-mals are killed, they are sub-jected to incred-i-ble stress and abuse, caus-ing their bod-ies to pump stress hor-mones into their body, and you end up con-sum-ing this array of hormones, which then screw up your body’s nat-ural bal-ance and can result in acne. Just like the water you drink, know your source.

BE WARY OF EXCESS PLANT ESTROGEN - Another impor-tant con-sid-er-a-tion is nuts, seeds, and soy. Not only are nuts and seeds high in fat, they’re high in estro-gen, so it’s a double-whammy of prob-lems (we all know excess estro-gen causes weight gain). Flax oil is also high in estro-genl. If nuts and seeds do not have a neg-a-tive effect on you, by all means, keep eat-ing them! But then, you wouldn’t nec-es-sar-ily be read-ing this if you didn’t have acne or reg-u-lar blemishes…so if alkaline water doesn´t seriously change your skin condition rapidly

tomaragua - The Benefits Of Drinking Water try and give the no-nuts/no-seeds/no-soy thing a try and see if it helps. You can always go back to hav-ing a small hand-ful when the urge strikes.

I also want to note that some raw vegan´s skin does not fair- well — blem-ishes on the forehead, and some-times even on the lower back or chest. So beware that this can make a HUGE difference if you decide to stop eat-ing nuts and seeds, replace them with more fruit and greens.

Raw food is becom-ing quite pop-u-lar, and it can be a won-der-ful diet, but make sure that if you do it, you do exten-sive research and achieve some bal-ance. For a selection of well thought out eating plans that take into consideration your own unique metabolic style research Isabel de Los Rios´s eating plans http://eatonadiet.com

http://eatonadiet.com On a side-note, there has been research done on how nuts have heart pro-tec-tive qual-i-ties.

I agree that they do, but so does eat-ing healthy in gen-eral, as well as con-sum-ing omega 3 fats from fish, krill, and grass-fed eggs/kefir/yogurt. If you have a prob-lem with estro-gen and its effect-ing your health and skin, then it’s worth it to switch your fat sources from nuts and seeds to some-thing else.

STEP #2: HELP GET RID OF ACNE BY EATING ON A QUALITY DIET FOOD BASICS FOR CLEAR SKIN - Eat-ing a good diet is essen-tial for every organ to work prop-erly — you can-not have flaw-less skin with-out the right foods (and if you see peo-ple with acne-free skin who eat crap, that does not mean they are healthy inside, nor does it mean their skin will stay nice for long on their poor diet).

Eat on a diet! Sim-ple, really tasty, organic, unprocessed foods. Eat a bal-anced mix of cooked and raw foods from both plant and ani-mal sources…

tomaragua - The Benefits Of Drinking Water • Eat rice, brown, not white. Brown rice has far more nutri-ents (includ-ing B vit-a-mins, great for skin and stress) and far more fiber.

• Eat dairy, if it’s fer-mented and grass-fed, not milk or cheese. Fer-mented dairy is vir-tually lactose-free, and con-tains ben-e-fi-cial bac-te-ria that help you absorb nutri-ents. Over-all great for skin.

• Avoid wheat because it is well-linked to inflam-ma-tion, acne, and diges-tive issues.

• Eat fruit or veg-eta-bles, if they are organic, either fresh or flash frozen. Non-organic produce con-tains xenoe-stro-gens and harm-ful pes-ti-cide residue (can’t be washed off unless soaked in strong Kangen water— as it’s in the flesh), which is not a recipe for good skin.

• Want some-thing sweet, eat fruit or a fruit smoothie. Do not eat hybridized, seed-less fruit — they are too high in sugar, too low in fiber, and can spike your insulin…which results in an inflam-ma-tory response that leads to skin dis-or-ders like acne.

• If a recipe calls for “sugar” (which causes inflam-ma-tion which can lead to acne) I substi-tute it with raw, unfil-tered honey, ste-via (the green pow-der, not the refined white pow-der), fresh apple-sauce, or molasses, depend-ing on the recipe.

• Eat meat, if it’s organic, grass-fed, local from peo-ple you know, and/or wild. If you can’t get meat like this, buy it online from a rep-utable farmer (do your research), or don’t buy it at all.

It’s that important.

One excit-ing thing to note is a study 2 or 3 years ago about sev-eral sci-en-tists vis-it-ing dif-ferent cul-tures and tribes to exam-ine the qual-ity of the people’s skin. They found that civ-i-lizations that did not con-sume many starches and “white” food (like pota-toes and white bread), and instead ate a lot of veg-eta-bles, greens, fruits, and meat (when avail-able) had no incidents of acne among them.

The com-mon thread with these foods is that they do not spike your insulin, which means they are non-inflammatory, which also means they will not con-tribute to acne. The less inflam-mation (acidity, see how it all fits together now?!) you have going on in your gut, the less acne (and other skin dis-or-ders) you will have.

DON’T WORRY — TAKE IT SLOW please do not make a dras-tic change from your cur-rent eat-ing habits. Go about it slowly to give your body time to adjust. This way, you will not get thrown into the sort of “detox” sce-nario we talked about earlier, where you break-out more, get headaches, cold or flu-like symp-toms, etc. For instance, if you cur-rently buy con-ven-tional meat, switch to grass-fed. If you buy con-ven-tional pro-duce, go organic more often than not.

Use free-range eggs from happy hens. Switch from cow’s milk to goat’s milk, or get off dairy milk entirely and go for rice milk or almond milk, cook only brown rice instead of white. A glass of water when you wake up, ½ an hour before and after meals, after exercise and before bed See what I mean? Small changes first. They add up after awhile, and before you know it, your skin will be clear, you’ll have more energy, your body odor will be weaker or nonex-is-tent (I never have to wear deodorant…I just don’t stink!), and having switched to alkalinised water too, you will get sick less often, that investment on the Kangen Water Machine has paid for itself x10

tomaragua - The Benefits Of Drinking Water in medical expenses not incurred.

I wanted to share with you some of my favorite cook-books because it can be frus-trat-ing figur-ing out what you’re going to eat when you’re not used to eat-ing cer-tain things, Isabel has a great selection as part of her diet solution program, I unreservedly reccommend subscribing to her newletter for healthy recipies on-tap. Sub-sti-tute cer-tain foods where you need to (for exam-ple, if a recipe calls for pork, use grass-fed beef or buf-falo instead; if a recipe calls for wheat, use rice or omit it alto-gether): http://eatonadiet.com, invest in raw food “cook” books, but realise that many use a but-t-load of nuts, seeds, and soy sauce (tamari and contains wheat) in their recipes. Raw food meals aren’t fancy — it’s basi-cally me wash-ing the fruit, then eat-ing it; or me chop-ping up fruit and greens and putting them in the Vita-mix for 30 sec-onds.

And just a side-note, it’s impor-tant that you stick to your clean way of eat-ing and hor-mone balanc-ing pro-gram until your acne clears up. Then, occa-sion-ally, if the urge strikes you to have a piece of cheese-cake or what-ever, then do it. Hav-ing clear skin is really nice, but so is living.

EAT ON A DIET!!!!

TAKE EXTRA CARE OF YOUR LIVER The liver is an enor-mously impor-tant organ. It’s our built-in fil-ter, and it also pro-vides us with clear skin should we choose to have it. A well-functioning liver will help you achieve acne-free skin. The dietary rec-om-men-da-tions listed so far will auto-mat-i-cally be help-ful to your liver, and you will start see-ing results in your skin. How-ever, if you are still expe-ri-enc-ing some acne after 3 months of imple-ment-ing the changes men-tioned in this bonus E-Book, then aside from the DETOXing effects of Kangen Water you can also incor-op-rate these power tools: • Milk this-tle ~ very liver pro-tec-tive, excel-lent in glyc-erin tinc-ture form or added to smooth-ies or tea (this is a seed, there-fore it’s estro-genic, but it should be very help-ful and not cause addi-tional acne) • Dan-de-lion ~ pro-motes opti-mal func-tion-ing of the liver; drink as a tea, add to a green smoothie, or add it to soup, stew, or eat it as a side dish • Bur-dock root ~ per-haps my favorite herb; high in min-er-als; treats skin and liver dis-orders; tastes great in soups, stews, and teas, and can also be taken as a tincture

tomaragua - The Benefits Of Drinking Water • Turmeric ~ very liver pro-tec-tive, anti-inflammatory, too many ben-e-fits to list!; sim-ply sprin-kle the spice onto your meals; Also try Gaia Turmeric Supreme as a back-up • Lemon water ~ a sim-ple lit-tle drink, have it in the morn-ing before break-fast to give a little boost to your diges-tion and liver • Herbal tea ~ To clean up the blood and diges-tive sys-tem is Yogi Tea’s Detox; if you don’t have the time or money to get some of those herbs listed, go with this for now because it’s easy, cheap, and effec-tive (if you eat poorly and are get-ting some blem-ishes, drink this 2–3 times per day for 2–3 days, and your skin should be all clear again) You will also want to avoid ingest-ing alco-hol — it’s not a good idea to drink heav-ily when you need your liver to be in good shape. A glass of wine or sake here and there is fine, and bet-ter yet, avoid the hard alco-hol altogether.

tomaragua - The Benefits Of Drinking Water

Oh, and if you see any-thing online about a liver-gallbladder flush, please don’t do it. Not only has it been dis-proven as an effec-tive cleanse. Use your com-mon sense on this one — drinking a crapload of oil and Epsom salts is in no way going to be good for your liver. Eat-ing well and mak-ing use of some great herbs and spices are more than enough to cleanse your liver and keep it in great shape. You don’t have to go extremes.

OTHER THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND -Eat-ing this way is not dif-fi-cult or expensive.

You know what’s dif-fi-cult? Look-ing at the mir-ror and being upset that you have acne.

You know what’s expen-sive? All those acne creams and potions that cost $60 a bot-tle and fail to treat the real problem. The Kangen machine might cost more than your bed but you use it more often and it has a 35 year life expectancy, and if you are using the water as `part of you beauty regime you will save a fortune on bottled water, toners, household cleaners and heaven knows what else.

But if you really want clear skin, you’ll make this work, with or without the added benefits and cost saving of using Kangen water. You’ll find good, inex-pen-sive sources for what you need, like online shop-ping, farmer’s mar-kets, co-ops, or even grow-ing a lit-tle gar-den. You’ll make your food in advance and bring it with you to school or work. You’ll say no when some-one offers you some high-fructose-corn-syrup-filled treat, or a fast food lunch. You’ll ignore the people around you who think your new way of eat-ing and doing things is dumb, picky, a hippy thing, or any-thing else…because, hey, you’re the one with awe-some skin and a healthy body.

Who’s a dumb picky hippy now, huh?

Even if it takes you years to develop a great “Healthstyle,” it will be worth it. Coco Chanel once said that you deserve what you look like when you are 50, it is true that every journey starts with a single step, I hope the rises to you. A lot of times, peo-ple just don’t real-ize what’s in their food, because in their mind, why would any-one use a bag of chem-i-cals in that box of cook-ies? Well, you wouldn’t, but food man-u-fac-tur-ers would. The other bump to over-come is think-ing it doesn’t really mat-ter, and that being “picky” about your food isn’t nec-es-sary.

My answer is always this: “I wouldn’t have to be ‘picky’ if food was real food. I wouldn’t have to be ‘picky’ if other peo-ple didn’t try feed-ing GMO corn to chickens that are causing preteens to develop breasts and putting chem-i-cals on the plants I want to eat.”

Eat-ing well is totally worth it, because slather-ing on a cream to cover up the under-ly-ing problem is not going to solve any-thing, as is above so is below, as is outside so is inside (your body) just remember, garbage in = garbage out. You are the only one respon-si-ble for your health, and you can choose to be healthy with beau-ti-ful skin.

STEP #3: BANISH ACNE WITH THE POWER OF GOOD SKIN CARE After the first two steps, this one is gonna seem like a cake-walk. First and fore-most, skincare depends on your skin type. You can have oily skin with acne, dry skin with acne, mature or young skin with acne…you name it. Using prod-ucts that cater to your skin type while pre-venting and heal-ing blem-ishes is very important.

Go with nat-ural prod-ucts. The rea-son is pretty sim-ple: nature pro-vides an abun-dance of effec-tive tools for our skin, your body knows exactly what to do when in con-tact with nat-ural ingre-di-ents, and it can do no harm unless you’re aller-gic or it’s obvi-ously a toxic plant (which you wouldn’t use or see in a skin care prod-uct any-way). The basic rule is: if you wouldn’t eat it, don’t put it on your skin. What-ever you slather on is going to find its way into your blood-stream and through your organs, so make sure it’s good stuff.

I hope you love this book! Please share it, heck I give you CC to make it better or correct it if you think I made some huge error in my research, but please do so with love.

If you want more infor-ma-tion on skin treat-ments, using your hands to heal your face, “skin fast-ing,” and treat-ments for spe-cific types of acne, I very highly rec-om-mend Chizu Saeki’s book, enti-tled The Japan-ese Skin-care Rev-o-lu-tion. It’s one of THE best books I’ve read on skin-care — her take on the skin is refresh-ing and pos-i-tive, and she pro-vides a wide vari-ety of spe-cific solu-tions that are really easy and effec-tive.

I’m going to rec-om-mend prod-ucts for each skin type from sev-eral nat-ural brands that I am most famil-iar with and have per-son-ally used, or still use. (Please note that I am affil-i-ated with some of the brands listed here.) So let’s get to it!

ALL SKIN TYPES Makeup: Since you want to get rid of acne, it’s impor-tant you’re not clog-ging your pores with makeup gunk every-day, because you’re not help-ing your skin get any bet-ter by doing that.

tomaragua - The Benefits Of Drinking Water Use a min-eral makeup — it will not look cakey or dry on oily skin, but for dry skin, be sure you are very mois-tur-ized before apply-ing and mix the min-er-als with your mois-tur-izer for a creamy appli-ca-tion. The min-er-als will also ben-e-fit your skin and allow it to breathe. My favorite min-eral brands are Alima and All Nat-ural Face because they do not add any parabens or bis-muth oxy-chlo-ride like many other pop-u-lar min-eral makeup brands. If you pre-fer creamier foun-da-tions or stick foun-da-tion, try Vapour.

Makeup Remover: Use olive oil or coconut oil on a cot-ton pad or ball, and swipe it over your makeup. It’s cheap and VERY effec-tive — it gets off all the makeup in just one go.

Treat: A great way to treat blem-ishes is with tea tree oil. This is my favorite go-to treat-ment.

It’s non-drying and is just as effec-tive as ben-zoyl per-ox-ide. Kangen water for your toner or Witch hazel toner and white wil-low bark extract (they get sal-i-cylic acid and aspirin from white wil-low) are both very effec-tive at pre-vent-ing and heal-ing blem-ishes, and these ingre-di-ents are in some of the prod-ucts I rec-om-mend. You can also try a blem-ish treat-ment stick from Talu-lah or Evan Healy. In addi-tion, use home-made masks (I’ve pro-vided a few recipes so far, more to come!), cot-ton lotion masks (see The Japan-ese Skin-care Rev-o-lu-tion), and try masks from the nat-ural brands I’ve listed here. You can use masks sev-eral times per week to help heal and re-balance your skin.

Heal: For acne marks, apply vit-a-min E oil (make sure it’s not mixed with other oils) to the spots. You can also apply fresh lemon juice to the areas every day to lighten them faster — just squeeze a few drops of lemon juice onto your fin-ger and dab on the dis-col-ored areas, and leave it on. Organic milk and yogurt will also help lighten acne marks — sim-ply spoon some onto your whole face or dis-col-ored areas and leave on for 5–10 min-utes, 3 times per week.

OILY SKIN You are actu-ally quite lucky. Oily skin tends to wrin-kle less, and you may think your oili-ness causes acne, but that’s not the case. The oil is very pro-tec-tive, you just need to make sure that dead skin cells and bac-te-ria don’t com-bine with your oil to cre-ate pim-ples. Eat-ing well, eating the right fats, and using the right skin-care will all ensure that you do not pro-duce too much oil and will improve your over-all skin condition.

tomaragua - The Benefits Of Drinking Water Cleanse: In the morn-ing, wash with water and per-haps a toner, like cham-pagne, or a lavender or orange blos-som hydrosol. You don’t want to over-wash your face, as you’ll only make it more oily. At night, use a gen-tle, non-drying cleanser, such as 100% Pure Organic Cran-berry Cleans-ing Foam, Talu-lah Gera-nium Sap Puri-fy-ing Cleanser.

Exfo-li-ate: Exfo-li-ate 1–3 times per week with a gen-tle scrub that does not con-tain any harsh beads, such as ground up nuts or seeds. Exfo-li-at-ing reg-u-larly will remove any dead skin cells still on the sur-face, which is a breed-ing ground for acne bac-te-ria. It will also refine your pores. Use some-thing like 100% Pure Pineap-ple Facial Scrub, Talu-lah Vanilla Bean Reju-venat-ing Cleanser, or the very pop-u-lar lemon-grass Exfo-li-ate Foam-ing Cleanser by Suki. If your skin is also sen-si-tive, try rub-bing the scrub between your palms for a bit to soften, and add a lit-tle more water or a few drops of your reg-u-lar cleanser if needed.

Mois-tur-ize: Use light-weight serums and oils. Using oil on oily skin is actu-ally a good thing — grape-seed oil, rose-hip oil, and olive oil, for instance, are excel-lent mois-tur-iz-ers and are help-ing in get-ting your oily skin to pro-duce less oil. Excel-lent serums include 100% Pure Aqua Boost Hydrate Serum, Talu-lah Oma Face Serum No. 1, Evan Healy Rose-hip Treat-ment Facial Serum, or Liv-ing Nature Bal-anc-ing Day Lotion. At night, use your serum/oil and fol-low up with a cream filled with potent antiox-i-dants and skin clear-ing ingredients.
