Help Save the Planet - Stuff We Can All Do

December 28th, 2007 · No Comments

It’s the buzz of the planet now, Global Warming, environmental impact, alternative energy, energy crisis, pollution, chemical and trash levels are off the charts high. It’s serious business and we are all either a part of the problem or a part of the solution. Today I watched a fast paced 20 minute video, which was extremely informative. It made me realize that there is more to this problem than meets the eye. If we can’t see the problem, then we can’t do anything about it. Change comes about through identification of where we are, and then setting goals as to where we want to go. I believe everyone on the planet needs to see this short video and learn to become part of the solution.

What is the Story of Stuff?

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view.The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It’ll teach you something, it’ll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.”

How Do You Choose a Water Ionizer

October 8th, 2007 · No Comments

Water ionizers are infiltrating America by storm. They are flooding into the homes of health seekers nation wide. More companies are offering them and more choices and options are available, making the decision of choosing a water ionizer more and more difficult. Two of the biggest players in the water ionizer business are Enagic and Jupiter Science. In order to see clearly between the two you have to know a little bit about their background.

Jupiter Science is a Korean manufacturing company of water ionizer machines for over 30 years. They are the worlds largest water ionizer manufacturer and supplier of ionizer machines and parts worldwide, producing over 50,000 units per month. Consequently they supply parts for other water ionizer manufacturers such as: Toyo, Samsung, LG and Hyundai to name a few.

Jupiter’s all time best selling water ionizer, the Melody has sold more units each year for the last 2 years than all other water ionizers combined. Recently the Melody Ionizer was added to the IonWays MLM program to effectively compete with Enagic.

Enagic is an MLM company that sells highly overpriced water ionizers with older technology that Jupiter Science played a part in manufacturing. Numerous reports suggest that their distributors use questionable marketing tactics to convince their customers to purchase their high priced equipment. Personally, I’m just glad that there are hard working people out there who are committed to spreading the word about the outstanding health benefits of drinking alkaline water.

From a consumer stand point it makes sense that you should get the most value for your hard earned money.  That’s why I stand behind Jupiter Science water ionizers with 5 models to choose from priced from $719 to $1495. The more you pay, the more advanced the technology, the stronger the ionization and the more user friendly features you will receive.

Alkaline ionized water is revolutionizing the way people approach their health. All water is far from equal and since we are over 75% water and 94% of our blood is water, it just makes sense to put the best water possible into our body’s. Since this water is energetically charged, purified, and pH optimized it has the ability to create significant shifts in the well being of you and your family. Visit our websites to learn more about the health benefits of alkaline ionized water.

How to Choose a Cold Laser

October 3rd, 2007 · No Comments

There are many cold lasers to choose from, and more coming out all the time. How do you make the right choice?

Your choice of laser should be based upon your application, or how you intend to use it.

  • If you want to treat superficial conditions such as skin and wound care, acne, burns and wrinkles then choose a red light laser.
  • If you want to treat musculoskeletal conditions, soft tissue injuries, repetitive strain disorders, arthritis and joint pain then choose an infrared laser. No not an infrared light. Choose a true, coherent, columnated infrared laser in the 808-905nm spectrum with an output of 200-500mW of power.
  • If you want to balance and harmonize organs and glands then choose a Q1000 harmonizing laser.
  • If you want to treat body and ear points (acupuncture and auricular therapy), then choose either a single diode laser or a multi-diode laser with the ability to focus all diodes on a single point. More power equals shorter treatment times. This can be important if you are a busy practitioner.

Some lasers incorporate all of these features into one laser emitter head and other cold laser manufacturers offer bundled packages with laser probe accessories sold optionally. It’s completely up to you. Treating conditions with a healing laser is like playing golf. You would never think about playing the entire game with just one iron. If you want to treat the widest range of conditions you either need a bundled cold laser package with individual probes and clusters or you need and all in one combo laser in which the variety of diodes spoken about above are all incorporated into a single emitter head and then the output is controlled by an intelligent microprocessor.

This is an ongoing and ever evolving story. Learn more about cold lasers, get up to date laser news, learn about cold laser products and healing laser applications; check out cold laser supplies today.

How do you choose a therapeutic laser

September 20th, 2007 · No Comments

Choosing a healing laser or therapeutic laser is a lot like choosing an automobile or a house.

It’s all about options, features, quantity (of diodes), size (power of diodes), color (color or type of diode) and price.

Now let’s take a closer look at these options and features and see how we can use them to better determine, which therapeutic laser is right for you.

Quantity of diodes: How many does it have. How much surface area do you want to cover. A single diode is ideal for treatment of small spots or acupuncture points. The more diodes, the larger the treatment area.

Size in this case equals power of the diodes: How much power, which is measured in MilliWatts (mW) does the laser put out. More is not always better, however higher power does mean faster treatment times. Lower power of 5 mW per diode is good for unwinding stress out of the body. Higher power is good for driving photons deeper into the body faster, such as in the treatment of acupuncture points. 500mW is the maximum power you can safely get out of a continuous wave cold laser. A superpulsed laser can utilize diodes up to 30,000 mW (30 Watts) and still be safe and gentle, yet deliver photons to the deepest levels for saturation of target tissues in bones, tendons, ligaments, muscles and tissue.

Color = Type of Diode: True laser diodes work faster and more effectively than Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), however lasers such as the Q1000 laser and the TerraQuant Laser that use a combination of both true laser diodes and LEDs are popular and very effective. These days there are green lasers, blue diodes, red lasers and infrared lasers that we here about most. So how do you know which ones will be right for you? It’s quite easy actually. Red and Infrared light lasers have a 35 year proven track record and have the most testing behind them to backup their valid use in medicine and healing. A red light laser while popular has the distinct disadvantage of minimal penetration, limited to the surface of the skin and below 1/4″-1/2″.

Infrared (IR) lasers come in 4 main varieties: continuous wave, pulsed wave, superpulsed wave and IRDs, which technically are not lasers. Infrared lasers tend to be much more powerful than red lasers and they deliver photonic energy faster and deeper, which is ideal for treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, soft tissue injuries and repetitive strain disorders. The top runners up for treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, soft tissue injuries and repetitive strain disorders are the 200-500 mW continuous wave, infrared cold lasers in the 808-875 nm range and the Supurpulsed lasers utilizing galium arsenide 25-30,000 mW diodes in the 904-905 nm range

Price: Oddly enough, several high profile laser manufacturers tout their 5 mW, 2 and 4 diode lasers as the ultimate laser for treating all conditions, at the tune of over $6K-$16K. This is just ridiculous. You can get a much better and more versatile laser for significantly less money. Don’t be fooled by a dog and pony show. Stick with the category of therapeutic laser that fits your needs and budget.

If you don’t know which laser to choose, call for a free therapeutic laser consultation.

Ionic Water, Tourmaline, Aluminum and Enagic Lies

August 22nd, 2007 · No Comments

Recently some Enagic™ or Kangen™ reps have been attacking the Biostone filter. They are claiming that because the Biostone contains tourmaline, and one of the building blocks of tourmaline is aluminum, that ipso facto! the Biostone filter releases aluminum into the drinking water. Nothing could be further from the truth, but then again, some Enagic™ reps do not always perpetrate the facts accurately or correctly – especially when it comes to Jupiter. See Enagic Water Ionizers vs Jupiter Science Water Ionizers

Attached is a lab report on the Biostone filter. This lab report was commissioned and paid for independently (see the information under client). Click here to download the Biostone Lab Test Report

The report was sent to us and permission was granted to use the data.

You can see on the report that the untreated control sample of water had a significant amount of Aluminum:

Aluminum 438 ugl (micrograms or parts per billion); and that the Biostone filtered it down to less than was detectable <30 ugl.

The US EPA standard on Aluminum is .05 to 0.2 mgl or milligrams per liter. That would be 150ugl allowable. A microgram is 1/1000th of a milligram. 30ugl is a level so small it can not be detected.

So you can see that the statements made or questions raised by some Enagic™ or Kangen™ reps are completely without merit.

This is one more example of how Enagic distributors perpetrate misinformation, half truths and outright fallacies.

To take this one step further, lets discuss tourmaline and why it is in the Biostone Filter in the first place.

Tourmaline is technically classified in the mineral group as a semi-precious gemstone of the silicate family. The term silicate is used to denote types of rock that consist predominantly of silicate minerals.

Two of the main building blocks of tourmaline are aluminum and boron which are bonded to form a trigonal crystal system which occurs as long, prismatic and columnar crystals.

This bonding effect which creates crystalline Tourmaline results in a very hard material with a hardness rating of 7-7.5 on the Mohs scale. To put its hardness into perspective, iron is a 4Mohs, and titanium is a 6Mohs – tourmaline being considerably harder than either. It is so hard in fact it retains its properties under enormous pressure and up to 600 degrees C.

The tourmaline in the Biostone filter is put into a ceramic bead form. Ceramic is completely non reactive and non leaching. Many water filters employ ceramic media.

So we can say for certain given the structure and hardness of tourmaline, the fact it is in ceramic and the attached test results, that no aluminum is released in to the water.

Further we can show with certainty that the Biostone filter actually reduces Aluminum so significantly it is below the detectable levels.

So why is tourmaline in the Biostone? Tourmaline has the unique property of emitting a natural form of FIR or Far Infra Red energy. The prefix ‘infra’ means ‘below’ and refers to the wavelengths that are just below the red end of the visible spectrum, hence ‘infra-red’. FIR produces a form of radiant heat which is simply a form of energy that heats an object directly, without having to heat the surrounding air. The radiant properties of Infra-red occupies the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and radio waves. There are many, many health products that employ FIR, including many water products. Water can absorb infrared rays from an external source. This phenomenon is called “resonant absorption.” This absorbtion of the electromagnetic frequencies of FIR has an immediate and unique effect on the water, energizing the water, reducing surface tension and “conditioning” it prior to ionization.

So drink up and enjoy your Jupiter Ionized Water from the best selection of ionized water machines in the world. It just doesn’t get any better!

Enagic Water Ionizer vs. Jupiter Science

July 9th, 2007 · 2 Comments

As the many amazing health benefits of ionized water are sweeping across the nation, some companies are taking advantage of their unique position and making a significant profit. With Enagic Water Ionizers ranging in price from $3,200 to $6,400, it is no wonder people keep calling me and asking, “Is Enagic a good water ionization system, and why does it cost so much? Good questions deserve good answers, so I asked the pros.

Click Here to learn more about the benefits of ionized water

I personally know the two people responsible for bringing first rate water ionizers from the world’s largest water ionization company to the US. They are the exclusive direct importers of the world’s largest water ionizer manufacturer and here is what they shared with me.

The word “Kangen” in Japanese means “return to origin” and in USA is used by Enagic as a marketing term.Enagic is a Multi-level marketing company that sells water ionizers. Enagic to our knowledge does not manufacture ionizers and bought the marketing rights to a product line manufactured by Toyo Industries. Toyo is a Japanese company that had a long and successful history manufacturing water ionizers. Interestingly enough, original patents came though a level of collaboration between Jupiter Science and Toyo in the development of the first titanium/platinum electrodes.

Rather than being sold through the internet or actual retail stores, Enagic products are sold by MLM “Reps” who typically do not have a thorough technical understanding of the properties of water, ionization and how the two together produce health benefits. I am sure there are exceptions – reps who have really rolled up their sleeves and educated themselves.The fact remains that we have heard a lot of “bogus” info from people who have been to Enagic presentations. Going to a few MLM presentations does not make one an expert in something, especially something as complex and technical as ionization. It appears that Enagic “reps” are often innocently fed misinformation and led to believe in half truths. Then these misinformed “reps”, who are motivated by the MLM dream, go forth and perpetrate these inaccuracies and mislead naïve customers into falsely thinking they are getting the best possible value for the extra $2000.

IonLife believes wholeheartedly in giving good, sound information and encouraging our potential customers to do their own investigating. When they do, they most often come back and purchase a Jupiter water ionizer and save +or- a thousand dollars or so.In approximately 2000, Enagic purchased the right to sell a re-branded version of the old Toyo Pure Porte II. The Pure Porte was state of the art technology at the time it was released into the market somewhere around 8-10 years ago. The unit has not seen significant improvement since then and technologically has been surpassed. Enagic’s low end model, the Leveluk DX sells for approximately $3,200, the mid-level unit the Leveluk DX II sells for $4,500, and the high end unit the Super 501 sells for $6,400. Enagic units are the only ionizers on the market which cost that much. The price of these models has more to do with compensating the Enagic MLM reps than the actual cost or the comparative technology inherent in their ionizers. To verify that simply ask Enagic about their compensation plan and see how much money is paid to the various levels of the network organization when one machine is sold.

Remember that this technology is virtually unknown here in the US, so most people investigating it are hearing the story of ionization for the first time. This makes them particularly vulnerable to the misinformation approach. This approach is bad for our industry as a whole. A good example would be the claim many Enagic reps make regarding its status as a medical device. Enagic reps often claim its unit has this exclusive status. More correctly, ionization, as a technology, is classified by the Japanese Ministry of Health as a medical device. An example of a similar situation would be x-ray machines. X-ray machines are approved by our FDA as a medical device; yet there are many manufacturers of x-ray technology and products. A specific product can be registered, and many ionizers have this type of registration.

Another common bit of misinformation is that “bigger is better” when discussing plate or electrode size. The plate is the part inside the water cell which delivers the electrical current to the water. Enagic reps collectively hammer the point that their units have larger and more plates than most other models. Consider technology as a whole: can you think of even one technology that gets larger as it gets more advanced? Think of computers and cell phones for example. High power requirement is detrimental to plate life due to the increase stress load. Many reps also claim that Enagic is the only company to electroplate the platinum onto the titanium plates. Really?

All Jupiter plates are manufactured using electroplating. Jupiter’s latest models employ a cutting edge mesh or waffle plating process that effectively increases surface area while decreasing the size and power consumption. These new plates are smaller than old Jupiter plates yet more effective in delivering the current into the water.

To be objective the Enagic Models are good machines. They produce good levels of pH and ORP, comparable to the performance of our Jupiter Melody. We have seen these models tested side by side, which is the only salient way to compare the performance of ionizers. Enagic reps often claim absolute pH and ORP numbers which is NEVER true due the highly variable nature of the mineral content of the source water – which is a key factor in performance. Enagic marketing focuses on the acidic water (unlike the rest of the industry). The Enagic units utilize a saline injection system (an ongoing cost) to produce super low pH water. Jupiter’s answer to super low pH: add plain old rock salt to the calcium port into your Jupiter model (Melody, Aquarius and Orion) and set to low acid. In my side by side testing the Melody hit 2.4 pH. We are happy to test performance anywhere, anytime against any Enagic machine.

Here are some points to consider in comparing Enagic to Jupiter:

Enagic units have been passed by in technology and features, and they cost more not because they are a better product, but rather because they are sold through an MLM. Jupiter is the number one selling ionizer in the US and world markets. Jupiter has been manufacturing ionizers since 1982 and continues to expand their market, to demonstrate product innovation tempered with twenty five years’ experience, and delivers no-fuss customer support. You can buy Jupiter water ionizers with the utmost confidence. When you consider technology, performance, features, functionality and retail cost, you’ll know that you are getting the best value around.

Whether you buy an Enagic or Jupiter Science water ionizer is your choice, but either way, get yourself some ionized water because it is amazing, and this is an important investment in your health. I invite you to roll up your sleeves and do your own homework. I think you will find Jupiter Science water Ionizers, as most others have, to be the best investment in a water purification system that money can buy.

I hope that this info helps you. If you have further questions please feel free to call me, Kalon Prensky on our toll free # 888-824-7558

Stagering Statistics:

Did you know that an estimated 49 million adults in the United States smoke cigarettes, regardless of its dangers, and that nearly 70% of them want to quit? Over 34 Million Americans want to quit smoking. This is a huge business opportunity. Cigarettes contain over 4,700 potentially toxic substances per puff, including nicotine, which makes them highly addictive. Cigarettes are the leading cause of up to 1,200 Americans dying daily. Approximately 4.9 million people die each year from the use of tabacco products. About 1 out of every 5 deaths in the US can be attributed to tobacco products.

According to the American Lung Association, an estimated 442,398 Americans die each year from diseases directly related to smoking. Smoking significantly contributes to heart disease and strokes that can leave you dead within seconds. Emphysema and lung cancer, associated with cigarette smoking can cause an extremely slow and painful death.

America has the highest rate of obesity in the world. Roughly one out of every four adults in the United States is obese. Americans are desperate to lose weight and spend over $35 Billion per year trying.

The Good New!

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) treatments are drug-free, painless, and non-invasive. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has classified cold laser as a “non- significant risk device.” The laser produces a beam of light at a high wavelength utilizing low energy. The laser is applied to specific body points to block addiction receptors and stimulate the release of endorphins into the body. Endorphins are the body’s natural opiates and mood enhancers. By blocking addiction receptors in the brain, the endorphin release allows clients to cease nicotine intake without the withdrawal symptoms. The procedure is quick, easy, painless, and takes about 30 minutes to complete.
