WHAT
IS KANGEN WATER?
Kangen
water is the delicious, yet healthy water created from
Enagic’s progressive water technology. Not only do these
amazing devices filter harmful chemicals out of tap water,
but through the process of ionization produces Kangen and
acidic type waters. These waters can be used for various
purposes which include drinking, cooking, beauty, and
cleaning.
*Kangen
means return to origin.

With rice
Use it for washing & cooking. The result is
delicious and fluffy rice.
|
|
With coffee, tea, or green tea
When taste and aroma are everything, you will be
surprised at the improved color, taste, and aroma.
You can also use less coffee, tea, or green
tea, and still achieve a full rich taste due to its
extractive ability.
|
|
With other strongly acidic foods
Drink Kangen Water together when eating strongly
acidic foods such as meat, egg yolks, the alkaline
water will help your body balance the acidic effects
of those foods.
Other; Use making soup stocks and beans.
|
|
In soups and stews
Kangen Water draws out the flavor of ingredients so
they tender and juicy. Therefore, less seasoning
such as salt and soy sauce in are needed, and it is
perfect for people trying to reduce their salt
intake.
|
|
Use for washing vegetables
Use Kangen Water to remove rawness of onions, bamboo
shoots, burdock, or the like.

|
How
do we begin drinking Kangen water(TM)?
|
|
|
It
is most common to begin by setting a low pH8.5 level
(between pH8 and pH9.0), and gradually increasing
the amount of intake. After continuing regular
intake for about two weeks, gradually adjust the pH
level and amount of intake (between pH9.0-pH9.5)
based on your bodily needs and physical condition.
The Kangen water(TM) should be as fresh as possible.
For children or seniors, set the pH level at an
even lower level upon starting, and gradually
increase it as the body adjusts to the current pH
level. In the case of infants (until about a year
old), since breast milk or milk is the only thing
they consume, the intestinal movement is generally
different from adults, and the use of Kangen
water(TM) is not encouraged until the infant begins
to consume more sophisticated foods. In any case,
Kangen water(TM) should not be used to make powdered
milk for infants.

pH
The logarithm of the reciprocal of hydrogen-ion
concentration in gram atoms per liter. It is used as
a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution
on a scale of 0-14 (where 7 is neutral).

|
What
is the white fogginess in Kangen water(TM)?
|
|
|
The
white fogginess apparent in Kangen water(TM) is
simply a result of hydrogen gas being released
through electrolysis, and does not pose a problem.
If you rest the glass for a while the white
fogginess should disappear. Research focused on
dissolved hydrogen released through electrolysis of
water was presented at The Japan Functional Water
Association Meeting i
n late December of 2002. It reported that Kangen
water(TM) is effective in controlling the oxidation
of lipids in the body. It also reported that
dissolved hydrogen present in the colloidal state
has a higher activity level than active hydrogen
produced at the instance of reaction. Based on this
report, the need for broader data collection and
further scientific analysis was recognized.

Dissolved
hydrogen
Most commonly measured using a diaphragm polalograph-type
dissolved hydrogen electrode. The solubility of
dissolved hydrogen is about 1.5mg/L.

Colloidal
Low molecular weight (colloidal) particles dispersed
in liquid. Each particle is between 1m and 0.1. The
majority of substances that make up organisms are
colloidal and have complex movements.

Active
hydrogen
Professor Sanetaka SHIRAHATA of Kyushu University
announced the “active hydrogen deoxidized water
theory” on removing the active hydrogen in Kangen
water. Related academic circles are debating whether
or not active hydrogen exists in a stable state,
given that it is an unstable free radical.

Q.
Can LeveLuk be used overseas?

|
Can
LeveLuk be used overseas?
|
|
|
LeveLuk
is made to be used in USA. When using LeveLuk in
other countries, it must be adjusted to the
particular voltage (110V-240V) and water quality of
the country. Since there are few countries where you
can drink tap water straight from the tap, and many
countries where the water has extremely high calcium
content, we recommend selecting a filter that suits
the country. Many laws must be taken into
consideration for exporting goods, but individual
use overseas is not a problem.

Q.
The flexible pipe is not allowing for the smooth flow of
water? What should I do?

|
The
flexible pipe is not allowing for the smooth flow of
water? What should I do?
|
|
|
When
the original tap water supply is high in minerals
(most often seen with well water), a large amount of
crystals are formed in the electrolysis cell. If
this progresses, chunks of crystals can become stuck
in the net before the flexible pipe, obstructing the
water outflow. In order to remove this clog, poke
the area with a piece of wire and blow air into the
LeveLuk from the spout. Please remove the flexible
pipe from LeveLuk when cleaning in this manner.

|
|
|
Electrolyzing
water produces Kangen water(TM) (alkaline) on the
negative pole and acidic water on the positive pole.
LeveLuk is designed so that the flexible pipe
attached to the top is connected to the negative
electrolysis cell, while the discharge (gray) hose,
attached to the base of the LeveLuk is connected to
the positive electrolysis cell. For this reason,
Kangen water(TM) and strong Kangen water(TM) comes
out of the flexible pipe, and acidic water and
strong acidic water comes out of the discharge hose.
Of the four production modes, when the appliance is
set on the “beauty water” mode, the electric
current is reversed, as it is done for cleaning, so
acidic water comes out the flexible pipe and Kangen
water(TM) comes out the discharge hose. This is the
only time the waters are discharged on the opposite
ends. Since the acidic mode reverses polarity, it
has the effect of breaking off calcium crystals
attached to the negative pole and can be used as a
manual cleaning mode.

The
Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare
serves as the information source for maintaining the
health of the Japanese people and controls various
forms of amateur doctoring. The law prohibits
actions or speech that surpass procedures or talk by
doctors and pharmacists. The only aspects of Kangen
water(TM) we are allowed to speak of or write about
are abnormal gastroi-ntestinal fermentation, chronic
diarrhea, indig-estion, hyperacidity, and the
astringent effect. Although these are the bases of
more significant illnesses, speaking of them is
against the law. There are numerous cases in
clinical studies conducted by doctors or pharmacists
that found drinking Kangen water(TM) cures various
illnesses. It is also known that driving out active
oxygen from the body with Kangen water(TM)
inevitably boosts the natural healing power*1. In
reality, the fields of water within medical circles
are already introducing the mechanism of Kangen
water(TM) in the human body through books and the
media. Please be aware of the Medical
Practitioner’s Law and Pharmaceutical Law when
recommending LeveLuk.

healing power
When animals fall ill, they have the ability to heal
themselves naturally. Animals in the wilderness have
especially strong natural healing powers.

Caution
regarding the use of LeveLuk in cold regions.
|
|
|
LeveLuk
is designed for use anywhere, but cold districts
especially must be aware how to freeze-proof the
device during the winter. When you turn off the
water, the LeveLuk activates the automatic water
draining system and drains the remaining water
through the gray hose, thereby ensuring that no
water is left in the appliance. Although there have
not yet been any repor
ts of accidents or breakdowns caused by freezing,
if acidic water is left in the tank intentionally by
lifting the hose or if the hose is positioned higher
than the bottom of the LeveLuk due to space
constraints, the automatic water draining system
will not operate, and the remaining water may
freeze, leading to accidents. Be sure to keep the
hose lower than the base of the LeveLuk when turning
off the water flow.

What
is the basic, correct way of drinking Kangen
water(TM)?
|
|
|
There
are no set rules regarding how to drink Kangen
water(TM) or how much to consume, but there appear
to be two main ways. The first is for people who are
healthy and have a structured lifestyle and steady
daily rhythm. Such individuals can drink Kangen
water(TM) anyway they want. The second way is for
individuals who are trying to benefit from the four
effects of Kangen water(TM) (recognized by the
Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare) to improve
medical conditions. In this case, it is best to
drink small amounts (1/4 of a cup) every 30-40
minutes. Individuals who drink a cup of f
reshly made Kangen water(TM) in the morning, and
just before bed are less likely to suffer from the
rebound phenomena 1. You can only expect to enjoy
the benefits recognized by the Japanese Ministry of
Health, Labor and Welfare if you consume the water
in the correct manner.

The
rebound phenomena
Also known as taking a favorable turn. When the body
turns in the direction of recovery, it is often
observed that patients experience a period of
repulsion where they suffer from swelling or
diarrhea.
