V. A FEW IMPORTANT TESTING DETAILS - The Eight Water Chemistry Parameters/Missing links/things to know when choosing your water
The driving force behind all of the clinical study results, including the cellular toxin release statistics, is simply energy, not doing anything mechanical to artificially alter water. It’s important to summarize the eight parameters of water chemistry that must be addressed to allow water to do its intended job of hydrating.For more detailed information, refer to Fenestra’s reports on our web site.
Parameters one and two are tests for energy, recording the milliwatts (potential coherent energy) and millivolts (kinetic energy or confused energy). The Stirwand’s™ high matrix minerals brought the 90 day test water from 90 milliwatts up to 11,408 milliwatts, while dropping the kinetic energy from 238 millivolts to 136 millivolts, all with a 20 second stir of the water. This results in highly charged negative ions to scavenge free radicals (-102 ORP), along with noticeably increased mental and physical energy.
Parameters three, four, five, and six are: balancing resistivity, conductivity, surface tension and specific gravity. Based on the mineral composition, and whatever else may be present in the water, these numbers will vary but not dramatically in common potable waters. It would take excessive minerals or a large amount of contaminates to impact the effectiveness of the Stirwand™ technology. This was verified by the testing of different waters.
Of these four parameters, surface tension is the most misunderstood. It is widely believed that low surface tension is beneficial, but if you review how a cell receives water molecules, you can see that if surface tension is too low, the cell would collapse and would not allow the water molecules to enter. Using a scale of one to a hundred, the purified water used in our testing was 67, maintaining firm cell integrity.
Specific gravity is somewhat of a “dark horse” as it’s rarely spoken of in the water world. Simply put, if your water does not have a very low specific gravity, you will not hydrate. One of the most difficult tasks of our own internal chemistry is to attempt to lower the specific gravity of water. It needs help to do this. Perfect specific gravity is 1.0, with the threshold being 1.009. Stirwands™ bring any potable water down to 1.002, and even brought horribly contaminated tap water down from 1.023 to 1.003. Note, most spring or purified water is in the neighborhood of 1.011 to 1.015, well above the threshold.
Parameter number seven is pH, which must remain stable or everything else falls apart. As shown in our testing, a slight adjustment from a neutral pH, up or down, will have a negligible affect on hydration. The Stirwand™ will stabilize the pH of any potable water, but will not alter it.
The final parameter is extremely critical – stability.The high matrix minerals in the Stirwand™ work on any potable water, allowing this technology to be used with virtually any place in the world, with the water remaining stable in an opened container for at least 48 hours, and 95% stable in a sealed container for a minimum of 3 months.
Comment on the Stirwand™ used in the testing
All of the testing was done using the Stirwand™ called the “Basic” or “24/7”. Therefore, this is the only one for which we can actually make the above mentioned percentage increase claims. There are 8 different Stirwands™. If we ran the same in vitro water analysis on the others (using the above 8 parameters), the results would be the same, except for the amount of energy put out by each Stirwand™. Each Stirwand™ is different simply due to the blend of minerals used to produce the individual energetic properties of each.
VI. OTHER APPLICATIONS AND THOUGHTS
Agriculture
As many scientists clearly pointed out in the process of validating Dr. Agre’s and Dr. MacKinnon’s findings, virtually all life on the planet hydrates and oxygenates basically the same way, through the aquaporin pathways. In one of his papers, Dr. Agre wrote about his discovery of aquaporins and the implications for agriculture.
As an agricultural soils consultant in the1970’s, it’s quite natural for me to see that in foliar feeding (mixing fertilizer solution and spraying it on the leaves), the absorption can be enhanced enormously using the Stirwand™ technology, specifically, what we call the Gardener Stirwand™ which is designed for plants and fish tanks or ponds. To make the fertilizer solution work, a surfactant is currently used to break up the water molecules in order for them to penetrate the leaves. By simply using our technology, we can eliminate the use of chemical surfactants. In my estimation, it is likely that farmers will be able to cut back on the amount of fertilizer used simply because of the ability of the balanced water to penetrate the leaves.
Additionally, ground watering with this technology will dissolve more nutrients into solution for the plant roots to absorb. This equates to a savings in the cubic feet of water used and to a reduction in the use of herbicides, pesticides and fertilizer, while simultaneously rebuilding the natural biology of the soil. I have not seen any indication, under organic conditions, that stirred water will do any more than balance the natural event going on in the soil, i.e., it will improve the aerobic presence in the soil, resulting in the plant being healthier and more disease and bug resistant and better able to achieve it’s natural size and bud count, but will not increase size or bud count. If nourished with this technology while growing, fruit and vegetable yields will also have a longer shelf life.
Aquaculture
The Stirwand™ technology will pleasantly shock the aquaculture world. One of the key issues is the availability of oxygen for the fish, i.e., the oxygen is there, but the fish are fighting for space to get to it. It’s important to emphasize that you cannot add oxygen to water. If you add an oxygen atom to a water molecule it becomes hydrogen peroxide. If you add another, it becomes ozone. Whatever amount of water you have, you have a finite amount of potential oxygen. What the balanced/stirred water will do is make all of the oxygen available to the fish by releasing the polarity bonds of hydrogen and oxygen atoms that hold the water molecules together.
The Stirwand™ will create the same balance in a fish tank (salt or fresh) or in a commercial fishery that it creates in humans or plants. Weather conditions control where the available oxygen is in the water, so the fish are always competing for oxygen and space, literally for their lives. With balanced water, they can be any where in the tank, and they’ll have the all the oxygen they need, provided they are not over-crowded once the balanced water resolves the anaerobic conditions. Savings from normal death rates, worldwide, for fish will equate to billions of dollars annually.
Household Use – Monetary and Environmental Savings
Beyond the huge implications for agriculture and aquaculture, there are many everyday uses of the Stirwand™. Water is the world’s best solvent. We use it to wash and clean just about everything. As discussed, it works in the body much better when the molecules are separated from each other – and the same is true when used for cleaning. This is why we use detergents and chemical cleaners or surfactants.Think of the savings, both monetarily and environmentally, if you simply add the Stirwand™ in the washing machine to recruit every single water molecule to go to work cleaning your clothes. Depending on how dirty the clothes are, you might need very little detergent to simply help wash out some of the odors. I use one fourth of the normal amount of detergent if clothes are not too dirty, and half the amount if they’re really dirty.
There are many other cleaning tasks made easier, with less detergent - cleaning carpets and floors, soaking crusted frying pans and stained coffee pots, washing dishes, cleaning eye glasses, brushing your teeth, etc. Whatever you use water for, it’ll do a better job if it’s first balanced with the Stirwand™. Dentists use stirred water for all cleaning and rinsing – not a bad idea to have a container of stirred water available for all your home dental uses as well. Note, we do not recommend using the Stirwand™ in dishwashers due to the potentially extreme heat in the drying cycle of some models.
Knowing what we now know about water, that it need only be clean, potable water in order for this technology to bring it in near perfect balance, the benefits of purchasing bulk water or utilizing a simple filtration device are even more apparent, in terms of convenience, monetary savings and in fulfilling our responsibility to the environment. We encourage thorough reading of the material contained in this document to really grasp what we have documented here - that it’s not how much you pay for your water, or where it comes from, that counts – it’s the energy and chemical balance of it before you drink it.
And a final note on monetary savings - the Stirwand™ comes with a 5 year manufacturer’s warranty. With minimal care, it will last a life time.
More To Come
There’s a never-ending stream of insights on and applications and implications for Stirwands™ in the areas of athletic performance, livestock, waste management and space flight, and on the benefits of adding ionic minerals to stirred water. We see a bright future for our company and the planet as we bring this critical information and technology to the world.
