Water Ionizers - A Look At Solid Versus Mesh Plates

In this article, we'll discuss the difference between solid and mesh plates and why the "bigger is better" theory is incorrect.

Let's take a look at solid versus mesh plates in relation to the power delivery inside of the cell. Both types of plates can deliver the necessary current to the water, but why does IonWays use mesh plates when other models use flat, solid plates? Electrical current is just like water flow-it takes the path of least resistance. A flat plate has no way to channel the current delivered. In other words, a flat plate has an inconsistent saturation of electrons (they could be anywhere on a solid, flat plate), often channeled together, and not effectively or evenly dispersed. The result is an inconsistent delivery of power with less efficient and effective ionization results.

Using the mesh plates, we create a reliable grid on which the electrons can travel in predictable directions, effectively distributing the power in a consistent pattern. The result is a consistent running power, evenly saturating the plate, and increasing the amount of surface area receiving the electrical current used to create the alteration in your water. When a garden is tilled into rows and irrigated, the water is channeled directly to the roots, right where it's needed the most! Mesh plate technology is just like that-power is channeled and delivered right where it's needed the most.

In summary, bigger plates use more watts and amps, but don't have the available voltage to deliver it efficiently and, because the plate size is so much bigger, it adds over four times the resistance. Larger plates require a faster flow of electrons but operate with less predictability and efficiency. This actually creates more stress on the plating, causing rapid degradation over time. Now you can see that, in truth, bigger is not better! History has shown that when technology advances, it results in smaller, more powerful devices. Why would ionizers be any different?

Alkaline Water Snake Oil or Not?

From The Desk Of... Jay Hare

Dear IonWays Friends and Associates,

It was with much interest, disbelief, and disappointment that we read the article and watched the video recently published by Joseph Mercola, M.D., who warned the public against alkaline, ionized water. We read with interest because of the torrent of e-mails we received from countless, upset people who felt betrayed by Dr. Mercola. We read with disbelief as Dr. Mercola offered numerous unsupported and poorly researched opinions, made many misstatements, and contradicted much of his own writing - past and present. We have noticed that Dr. Mercola's articles have become, over time, increasingly negative and fearful. More and more, his articles seem to sacrifice true research in preference to making a sale or a point.

This "natural health guru," who once sprinkled fresh life over a desert of failed drug-based health options, has appeared to sell out and become the very thing against which he railed.

Plain and simple, Dr. Mercola is a marketing machine... and a questionable one at that. A 2006 BusinessWeek editorial criticized Dr. Mercola's marketing practices as "relying on slick promotion, clever use of information, and scare tactics." [1] The Weston A. Price Foundation stated, "Mercola's official pronouncement is a strange mixture of true statements and illogical sequelae, conflicting reasoning and unexplained omissions." [2]

Since the advent of his "brand," Dr. Mercola has been one of the most outspoken voices against the establishment and questionable efficacy of the double-blind study. Yet now, because it suits him, Dr. Mercola has fallen on his own sword by contradicting the very credo upon which his sales machine was built.

Among his many put-downs on medical research, he recently (on May 22, 2010 - only three and half months ago) wrote a particularly vehement attack.[3] In this article, he states, among other things, that, "Science-based medicine is a ruse," "Published studies are likely to be seriously flawed," "Natural therapies are at a disadvantage in this flawed system," and finally, "If an alternative treatment has not been published in a medical journal it does not mean that it is unsafe or ineffective." Now he calls alkaline, ionized water "snake oil on tap" because, "Scientific justification for these water systems is absent." Which way is it Doctor?

Further, Dr. Mercola sells products on his own website that lack scientific justification. What research does he provide for the efficiency and safety of his tanning bed; especially in light of a recent FDA report that states, "Tanning beds are now shown to cause skin cancer, skin burns, premature skin aging, and eye damage (both short and long-term)."[4] What double blind studies does he have in support of his extensive line of vitamins, minerals, herbal treatments, and plethora of other products? What research does he have to support the "high amount of calcium" he recommends in his Multivitamin Plus, which he claims "supports the skeletal system"?

In the video, Dr. Mercola implores us each to don our "logic" and put "your natural thinking cap on." Does he take us for fools? The video and article contain so many unsupported opinions, poor research, misstatements, and contradictions that it would take a voluminous tome to address them all! Let's examine some facts, some of the fiction he proposes, and straighten out some of his egregious misstatements.

Fact, fiction, or slick marketing? Dr. Mercola plays BOTH sides of the marketing fence - specifically to suit his shifting needs. Dr. Mercola, in his article, praises the cancer research of Robert Gilles, who uses highly acidic compounds to attack cancer cells and concludes, "Scientists who are in the process of developing prototypes for potential new anticancer agents that selectively kill tumor cells by interfering with the regulation of intracellular pH, have found that alkaline treatments do NOT have the desired effect-but strongly acidic treatments do." Thus, Dr. Mercola uses a very pro-acidic treatment as proof of the inefficiency and even danger of using a pro-alkaline approach.

But wait! In another internet article,[5] he praises an alternative method being practiced by Tulio Simoncini, a medical doctor from Italy. Dr. Simoncini injects tumors with highly alkaline sodium bicarbonate to kill the cancer cells. Dr. Mercola stated, "Unfortunately, Dr. Simoncini is yet another brilliant doctor who has been ousted from the medical community due to his revolutionary simple ideas of how to cure profit-making diseases." See footnote [6] for some of Dr. Simoncini's research.

Fact: Dr. Mercola tries to appear as if he has an absolute answer on alkaline water when all he really does is side with the establishment (when it is convenient for him) to make his point and sell his wares. The fact is that the jury is out on the cause of cancer and the effectiveness of treatments.

Fact: Dr. Mercola, in his article, states, "I can assure you that I would never use alkaline water as a regular source of water." Yet, in a popular internet article [7] called Early Death comes from Drinking Distilled Water, Dr. Mercola states, "The ideal water for the human body should be alkaline and this requires the presence of minerals like calcium and magnesium."

Fiction: Dr. Mercola states, "There are very, very few legitimate, scientific studies about the effects of alkaline water on human health."

Fact: There are many university studies on various aspects and effects of alkaline, ionized water on human health. There are approximately 75 years of Russian research, 30 years of Japanese research, and 20 years of Korean research. All three governments have done extensive research. Please see footnote [8] for the list of Japanese research that has, to date, been translated into English. That the studies weren't performed in the U.S. should give Dr. Mercola confidence; since, as he points out himself, the drug companies control much of the medical research done in the U.S. The fact is that Dr. Mercola has done poor research on this subject.

Fiction: Dr. Mercola states, "And if you drink alkaline water all the time, you're going to raise the alkalinity of your stomach, which will buffer your stomach's acidity and impair your ability to digest food as low stomach acid is one of the most common causes of ulcers. This can open the door for parasites in your small intestine, and your protein digestion may suffer."

Fact: Ben Johnson M.D., D.O., N.M.D. states, "I have performed hundreds of gastroscopes. The stomach is normally empty. When you drink water without food the water moves through the stomach in a fairly rapid fashion into the small intestine where it is absorbed, not really affecting the mucous lining of the stomach nor the pH of that mucous. After years of research into the effects from drinking alkaline water, I am yet to see any causal relationship between alkaline water and parasite or digestion issues. In fact, there is a plethora of Asian research that shows the opposite."

Fiction: Dr. Mercola incorrectly states, "If you really want to alkalinize your body, it would seem wise to encourage it with the highest quality water possible, which is obtained from vegetable juice."

Fact: Ben Johnson M.D., D.O., N.M.D. states, "I know Dr. Mercola sells some juicers, so I guess it is good for him. Let's be clear-juice is food. Basic biochemistry shows that the digestive system processes juice and water differently. Juicing is a great way to get nutrients - not H2o. If you want hydration then you need to drink water. I recommend that it be slightly alkaline so that you get the magnesium and potassium ions which are so healthy."

Fiction: Dr. Mercola states that ionizers are sold by making "astonishing health claims" and "unsubstantiated health claims," including that they "cure cancer."

Fact: To date, IonWays has never received any warning from the FDA for its marketing or that of its representatives and has never claimed that ionizers cure cancer.

Fact: Dr. Mercola has received two warning letters from the FDA for marketing nutritional products in a manner which violated the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. [9] [10]

Fiction: Mercola states, "The fact that most water ionizers and alkalizers are being marketed by multi-level marketing (MLM) companies with less than stellar ethics."

Fact: There are 100s of companies in the U.S. selling water ionizers and approximately ten importers. Only three companies sell through MLM. The "ethical" statement borders on libel, but rather than pursue this legally, I personally invite Dr. Mercola to call me directly and find out about how IonWays does business, our ethics (compliance policies), and our charitable giving.

Fiction: The "expert" in his video, Mr. Houston Tomasz, states that the ionizer industry "will not be around for very long."

Fact: Ionized water has been consumed in Japan since the early 1970s without any known contraindications. It has been sold and consumed in the U.S. since approximately 1995. It is estimated that about one in every six households in Japan now use a water ionizer, and one household in eight in Korea.

Fiction: Mr. Tomasz states, "When you [MLM companies] are selling a product that 10 people get a commission on, it's expensive."

Fact: I have run the sales for both MLM and a traditional business selling the Emco Tech product line-up. I would make a personal invitation to Dr. Mercola and challenge him to a "transparent" accounting review - his company and our company with results to be published. If you research, you will see that IonWays sells its industry-leading model for approximately the same price as all the other leading models, dispelling this notion. It is clearly not marked up to the level of the Enagic TM SD501 at $4,000.

Fiction: Dr. Mercola states, "These consumers have merely fallen under the spell of a skilled [MLM] marketer who selectively misused pseudoscientific information, and twisted it around to scare them into buying their product."

Fact: Dr. Mercola is doing a great disservice to the hundreds of thousands of network marketers that dedicate their lives to helping others help themselves. The fact is that Direct Sales is one of the fastest growing segments of the global economy - especially during a downturn. Our Associates represent IonWays and their loyalty and passion is supported by a Compliance Department that makes sure all marketing efforts are compliant. As in any business model, there are sales representatives who will, at times, act out-of-line. When they do, they are appropriately reprimanded.

Neither IonWays nor its Independent Associates misuse the existing science. I have personally presented the science behind our ionizers in front of hundreds of medical professionals of all types, and have never had anyone take issue with the statements I made. In the end, we are no more guilty than Dr. Mercola himself for using the available research and theories to support our beliefs.

Most importantly, IonWays does not "scare" its customers-unlike the fear-based tactics employed by some internet marketers. IonWays' approach is to give out our product FOR FREE to allow the customer to make up his own mind. I invite the good doctor to come join one of our presentations and see for himself.

Fact: The "expert" in the video, Mr. Houston Tomasz, is a V.P. for Sun Water Systems, Inc. (http://www.aquasana.com), which is a major player in the water filtration products industry. Dr. Mercola did not offer any certifications or credentials held by Mr. Tomasz that would qualify him as an "expert." Certainly not an unbiased one.

Fiction: Dr. Mercola states that, "Water ionizers are NOT filters." Both he and Mr. Tomasz make similar statements in the video, including much discussion about lack or misuse of certifications.

Fact: The IonWays Biostone Plus is manufactured in the USA with NSF certified components. The nine-stage Biostone Plus incorporates catalytic carbon, KDF, and multiple sediment filters between stages to remove the suspended solids of one micron or greater. The IonWays Athena is a dual filter model offering you the ability to have 18 separate barriers to treatment. We offer many pretreatments. IonWays does not claim its electrical certifications relate to the water.

Fiction: Dr. Mercola incorrectly states, "I don't think you are going to find naturally occurring alkaline water."

Fact: Most of the U.S. municipal tap water supplies are alkaline due to the fact that they are hard water. Further, there are many sources of naturally occurring, higher pH/low ORP water. One such example here in the US is the water from Trinity Springs in Paradise, Idaho. It is well documented that Trinity Water exits the ground at pH 9.4 to 9.6 with a -150mv ORP. There are others...

Fact: Dr. Mercola lauds Dr. Masaru Emoto's work on water crystals and states, "The healing water sources formed beautiful and complex crystalline geometries."

Fact: IonWays Emco Tech technology has been photographed by Dr. Emoto and was shown to have a beautiful and complex crystalline geometry (right). See the footnote to refer to the authorization number from the Hado Institute [11].

Fact: Dr. Mercola states, "In the near future, I [Dr. Mercola] will post a comprehensive review of water filters." Dr. Mercola already sells a competing water filtering system.[12]

These iterations of fact or fiction cover only a small portion of egregious statements. As off-base as the article was, we are even more surprised that Dr. Mercola allowed the video to be published. In the end, his expert makes statements in the video that actually support the cornerstone principles behind alkaline ionized water. Mr. Tomasz states, "I personally believe alkaline is better, I like a pH above 7," and, "Alkaline water is optimal because by definition you cannot have free radicals in an alkaline environment" ...yet they talk in the video and the article about ionizer salespeople confusing the customer!

So who is the real Dr. Mercola? You be the judge. In the May 2006 BusinessWeek editorial referenced above, columnist David Gumpert opined: "Mercola gives the lie to the notion that holistic practitioners tend to be so absorbed in treating patients that they aren't effective businesspeople. While Mercola on his site seeks to identify with this image by distinguishing himself from 'all the greed-motivated hype out there in health-care land,' he is a master promoter, using every trick of traditional and Internet direct marketing to grow his business. He is selling health-care products and services, and is calling upon an unfortunate tradition made famous by the old-time, snake oil salesmen of the 1800s."

It's our bet that Dr. Mercola's recently published article and video warning against alkaline, ionized water were nothing more than "slick promotion" as BusinessWeek pointed out. We believe his forthcoming review will undoubtedly and inevitably steer you toward a specific water product or products. Then, in conjunction with these two publications, Dr. Mercola will have positioned himself to come across as the "unbiased voice of reason" the "dispeller of pseudo-science" and the "provider of unbiased truth." The reality will be that (just as he does with the other 100+ products he sells or otherwise endorses) he is pulling the strings to steer many trusting readers to products for which he will receive some form of compensation, either directly or behind the scenes. He gets it both ways.

I personally find Dr. Mercola's approach sad and disheartening. We invite anyone who reads this article to talk with those who have personally consumed and benefitted from alkaline ionized water - many for upwards of 10 or 15 years. Better yet, we invite you to try it for yourself and see - for free. We ask that you let your body be the final judge. It is not by marketing that we will change the state of health in the U.S. It will be through a grass roots movement of people who empirically know alkaline, ionized water works. Regardless of what Dr. Joe Mercola says.

In good health,

President | IonWays, LLC

Get The Facts IonWays Athena vs Enagic SD-501

Bigger Is Not Always Better

Our competition has been perpetrating the myth that if an ionizer has larger plates and a greater number of them, its performance will be better. An understanding of basic electrical principles, electrode technology, and actual certified independent laboratory testing shows the truth: less is more when less is more efficient. After all, the definition of efficiency is useful work per quantity of energy.

Electrical Principles Made Easy

Electricity is a mystery to some people. However, it's actually quite easy to understand, especially if you think in terms that already make sense to you. Let's use a simple analogy: water flow as it relates to a garden. Electricity is little more than the flow of electrons in a circuit. In our analogy, electricity is like the water flowing from your garden hose. Of course, there is a difference between watering your garden effectively and efficiently and watering it with a fire hose - more isn't always better and this is true with ionizers.

First, let's look at the three basic components that measure electricity: volts, amps, and watts.

Volts measure the force (pressure) of electrons flowing through a circuit. In our garden, volts would be water pressure or the force of water coming througth the nozzle of your hose. Water pressure is measured in pounds per square inch, better known as PSI. Does it blast out (high pressure) or trickle out (low pressure)?

Amps are the measurement of how fast the electrons flow through a circuit. In our garden, amps would be the flow rate or how fast the water is flowing through the hose. The flow rate is measured in gallons per minute, or GPM. If we have more pressure (volts), we have a faster water flow (amps).

Watts measure the amount of electrical power (electrons) that is used over time. In our garden, this amount is what your water meter measures between readings - how many total gallons or volume of water you run through the system, but not how well it is being used.

In review, volts are the force of the water, amps are how fast the water flows, and watts are how much water is used. A crucial distinction to make is that these measurements (by themselves) do not show efficiency. When watering a garden, you can be more effective by using a nozzle. A nozzle can restrict the flow and increase the pressure and flow rate, changing efficiency. In electricity a transformer changes the properties of electrical flow, giving it the same affect on electricity that a nozzle has on water flow.

It is a fact that if we had to water both a large and small garden with the same one-inch hose and the same amount of water, it would be much harder to water a larger garden effectively.

All ionizers in North America operate on the same input voltage (PSI) at 120 VAC. This can be compared with a garden's water hose - everyone starts with the same water pressure (voltage) coming out of the spigot (the power outlet in the wall).
The IonWays Athena employs five plates that total 110 square inches. Our competitor uses seven plates that total 466 square inches. In our analogy, the IonWays garden is approximately 110 squares and our competitor's garden is 466 squares. We each have the same pressure (120 volts). To the untrained eye, it would seem as though they've got us beat simply because their number is greater. But not so fast! Simple math will show us the efficiency of both and the truth that bigger is not better:

IonWays Athena: 110 sq in / 120v = .916"2 per volt. This reveals that each of the 120 volts is applied to .916 sq inches of plate, or more than 1 available volt per 1 square inch. The Athena uses 110 watts at peak operating power. In relation to square area, this would be 110w / 110sq inches or 1 watt per square inch. Each of these simple equations show an efficient saturation in your garden and an effective use of the available water - especially when compared to our "bigger is better" competitor below.

Enagic SD-501: 466 sq in /120v = 3.88"2 per volt. This shows us that that each of the 120 volts is applied to 3.88 sq inches of plate, or about ¼ the voltage per square inch when compared to the Athena. The SD-501 uses 230 watts at peak power which would be 230w / 466sq inches or .49 watts per square inch. This means that our competitor is consuming almost twice the amount of power and delivering a quarter of the energy! After all, watts are the measurement of how much power it takes to deliver the same amount of electrons. Each of these equations shows a much less effective saturation rate in your garden and a dramatic decrease in the use of available water (or electrical current).

When comparing the voltage in relation to plate size, the advantage of using smaller, more efficient plates is clearly seen. There's more power in greater concentration where it's needed with less resistance, which creates a deeper alteration to the water. This is precisely why the Athena outperforms our competitor in independent laboratory testing.

Now let's look at how amps effect ionization. Remember, amps are the speed at which electrons flow through a circuit, or how fast water flows through a garden hose. The Athena operates at 1 amp; the SD-501 operates at 2 amps. The competition uses about twice the amperage, but as shown in the table above, their 2 amps have to saturate about four times the amount of surface area as in the Athena. In addition, there's a problem with moving electrical current too fast in that it when it meets resistance (the plate), it cangenerate heat. This generated heat cancause a loss of power, which can, over time, stress the surface of the plates. This can cause rapid degradation, decreasing the plates' ability to create the alteration we're after. Running a slower 1 amp current allows the Athena use its power in a much more consistent and efficient way. We saturate the electrodes with clean-running, consistent, usable power which is distributed evenly over the plate. This is one reason why Ionways ionizers consistently beats its competitors when run side-by-side without the use of caustic sodium enhancers. We've all seen how slowing the flow on an ionizer increases its alkaline production; in slowing the electrical current we also get a greater alteration. This would be like turning the hose to our sprinkler up too fast; we would over shoot our garden and not be able to saturate it as efficiently.

How To Install Your IonWays Water Ionizer

When installing an IonWays ionizer in one of today's modern kitchens, one of the most difficult obstacles to overcome is the pull-out, spray-style faucet. These newer model faucets are so convenient that I'm sure they'll be around for a good long time. With a little know-how and a few different options, an ionizer can be installed in your kitchen no matter what type of faucet you have-even the difficult pull-out, spray-style...

The first option (and my personal favorite) is to install a connection directly to the cold water line. There are several different adapters and fittings to make the connection and these are widely available at most hardware stores. This option leaves the spray attachment intact and operational. It also frees an expensive and nice-looking faucet from a diverter valve hanging off its side. This option requires that you find a clear path to the ionizer from under the counter top. I have drilled a ¼" hole through my counter where the back splash meets the top-it's so small that you have to look hard to even notice it. You could even run the hose right up next to your soap dispenser-where there's a will, there's a way!

Also available with the Athena or Isis is the option of installing an under sink kit. All you'll need is a 1½" hole drilled through the sink or counter top. Standard plumbing fixtures use the same size hole, making it easy to slip the kit's faucet right in through a pre-drilled soap dispenser or accessory hole.

If you're planning to hook your ionizer to your pull-out, spray-style faucet with a diverter, you'll need a special adapter because the aerator is recessed into the faucet and needs an added extension to make a diverter valve fit. In order to find this adapter, it's important that you know exactly what to call it, "15/16, 27 thread male adapter for speakman style." Because the part can be difficult to find and is not always available at your local hardware store, you may need to order it through the Internet. Using the exact words noted above, you can do a Google search and find several places selling the adapter at an average cost of four dollars.

IonWays Executive Reveals Secret To Success

Karen Kean is no stranger to health and wellness. As a health educator for fifteen years, Karen regularly hears about the "newest, latest, and greatest products." When her good friend, Kristine Catalina, first introduced her to IonWays water, Karen was skeptical, but agreed to attend a water class. It was at this water class that Karen realized not all water is created equal. After trying alkaline, ionized water for the first time, Karen didn't care too much for the taste, but decided to give it a few days. After those few days, Karen couldn't stop drinking it and decided to sign on with IonWays. She had no intention of doing the business and purchased her machine only to earn a first sale commission. However, as she continued to drink the water and generously shared it with others, more and more people wanted their own ionizer and even signed up themselves! Karen has her own testimony from drinking alkaline, ionized water, and she will tell you, "It's wrong of me not to share this life-changing water with others." Just three months after signing up, Karen became an Executive with IonWays.

So what's the secret? "Follow-up." Karen says, "I've known so many people who've had great contacts, but didn't follow up with them. Those people's businesses are failing."

Karen drinks alkaline, ionized water because she believes that it helps to alkalize, detoxify, and hydrate her body. She's a part of IonWays because, "It's an innovative, cutting-edge company that's very loyal to its distributors." She adds, "Any company is only as good as it's leadership and Jay Hare (IonWays President) shows dedication," which Karen believes is key.

Can there be an easier way than drugs to relieve this condition?

Watch The Video Below
and
Imagine What Alkaline Water Could Do For Your Skin

Why don't you know about this?

Eczema (atopic)

This fact sheet is for people, or parents of children, who have atopic eczema.

Eczema, also known as dermatitis, describes a group of skin conditions where the skin is irritated or inflamed. There are many different types of eczema - the most common is atopic eczema (also called endogenous eczema). About 1 in 6 children get atopic eczema in the UK, but most grow out of it by their teens. However for some people, it can continue into adulthood.

What is eczema?

There are various types of eczema, with slightly different causes and symptoms. This factsheet will focus on atopic eczema but the other types are described below.

Allergic contact eczema

Also called exogenous eczema, allergic contact eczema develops when substances or chemicals irritate the skin and cause an allergic reaction. The rash usually starts at the site of contact with the substance, but may then spread to other areas.

Irritant contact eczema

Irritant contact eczema is similar to allergic contact eczema and is caused by frequent contact with everyday substances such as detergents in toiletries or cleaning products.

Seborrhoeic eczema

Seborrhoeic eczema is common in babies under one, although adults can get it too. The rash is greasy and it usually starts on the scalp (this is sometimes called cradle cap in babies) and can then spread to other areas. It usually clears up in babies by the time they are one but can go on for a number of years in adults.

Varicose eczema

Varicose eczema (also known as gravitational or stasis eczema) is found in older people. It occurs on the lower legs and is associated with varicose veins and poor circulation.

Discoid eczema

Discoid eczema affects the arms and legs. It occurs in round scaly patches and is incredibly itchy. Discoid eczema is most common in middle-aged men.

Eczema symptoms

The symptoms of eczema vary depending on the type. Atopic eczema symptoms include:

• red skin

• dry skin

• itchy skin

• small water blisters on the skin, particularly on the hands and feet - or the skin can become wet and weepy if it gets infected

• scaly areas of skin in places that are scratched frequently - this is known as lichenification

Atopic eczema usually affects the backs of the knees and the front of the elbows as well as the chest, face and neck.

Causes

You cannot catch eczema. It does not spread from one person to another.

The exact cause of atopic eczema isn't fully understood at present. People do have a genetic, or inherited, tendency to develop the condition however. Atopy means a family tendency to a variety of allergic conditions, including asthma, hay fever and eczema.

Sometimes, the symptoms "flare up" for no obvious reason. But you may notice certain triggers that set off your, or your child's, eczema including:

• chemicals, detergents, soap or shampoo

• inhaled irritants such as pollen or house dust mites

• infections with bacteria or viruses

• certain foods in people that have food allergies, although this is quite rare

• dry skin

• being "run down", if you are ill with a cold, for example

• changes in hormone levels - eczema can be worse in women before their monthly period

• stress

Diagnosis

Your GP will ask you about your symptoms and examine your, or your child's, skin. Y

our doctor may also rub a sterile cotton bud on the skin to check for infections.

Most people with atopic eczema are treated by their GP but you may be referred to a specialist.

Treatment

Atopic eczema cannot be cured. Treatments aim to control the symptoms.

Home treatment

There are a number of over-the-counter remedies available from pharmacies to treat eczema including those below. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice on which treatment to use.

• Emollients are moisturisers which soothe, smooth and add water to (hydrate) the skin. They are the most common treatment and should be used every day even if you do not have eczema symptoms. Examples include aqueous cream and E45 cream. You can apply emollients directly to your skin as lotions, creams or ointments. A good time to apply them is just after a bath, while your skin is still slightly moist. Oils or washes are also available, which you can use in the shower or add to a bath.

• Mild steroid creams, such as hydrocortisone (eg Dermacort or Lanacort) can calm flare-ups of eczema by suppressing your body's inflammatory response. You should ask the pharmacist's advice or see your GP before using any steroid cream. The stronger steroids are only available on prescription (see below). You should continue to use emollients at the same time as steroid creams.

Prescription drug treatments

If emollients and mild steroids don't treat your condition, there are a range of other treatment options that your doctor can prescribe.

• Stronger steroid creams, such as betamethasone (eg Betnovate) are available on prescription. You should apply them sparingly and use the mildest cream that works as steroids may have side-effects. If you use a strong steroid for too long or on a delicate area of skin such as the face and armpits, it can thin the skin. This can make the skin more fragile leading to blemishes, wrinkles or visible small blood vessels. You should see your doctor for regular check-ups to prevent this happening and follow their advice or that of a pharmacist or nurse.

• Oral steroids, such as prednisolone, are available as tablets to treat severe eczema. They are only used for short periods of time (typically a course of up to a week).

• Immunosuppressant tablets, such as azathioprine or ciclosporin, are prescribed for severe eczema. They can have severe side-effects so you should not take them for long periods - ask your doctor for more information.

• Topical immunosuppressants are creams or lotions that you apply to your skin to reduce inflammation. They may be prescribed to you if other treatments have not worked or you cannot use them due to side-effects. Examples include tacrolimus (Protopic) and pimecrolimus (Elidel). These are new treatments that do not contain steroids so they may have less side-effects but the long-term safety has not been evaluated.

• Antibiotics, such as flucloxacillin or erythromycin, will be prescribed if your, or your child's skin is infected.

• Antihistamine tablets can help people with eczema to sleep, but they are unlikely to ease itching.

Hospital treatment

• If your, or your child's, eczema is severe you may need hospital treatment. This will remove you from the environment that may be triggering your symptoms and the hospital staff will ensure that you are taking your treatments correctly.

• If your, or your child's, skin is infected with a herpes simplex infection, antiviral treatment will be given to you in hospital.

• For some people with eczema, ultra violet light treatment is helpful. This is usually given in hospital by a specialist.

Complementary treatments

Some people find that complementary treatments such as herbal creams and homeopathy are helpful, although there is no firm scientific evidence for this.

Chinese herbal medicines may also help, but the active ingredients are poorly understood. Also, information about the quality and safety of the preparations is hard to obtain and side-effects such as liver damage have been reported.

If you use additional creams on your skin, you should use reputable brands and tell your doctor about these as well as other treatments you are taking.

Eczema management

Drug treatments are only part of the treatment for eczema. Eczema also needs to be managed by dealing with the things that make it worse.

Identifying and avoiding the things that trigger your, or your child's, eczema are an essential part of your overall treatment plan. Keeping a diary to record anything that triggers eczema can help you to discover a pattern.

If your, or your child's, eczema is triggered by certain foods you should ask your doctor for advice on how to deal with this. Excluding foods may not have any effect and can lead to a deficiency of essential nutrients, calcium or protein. It should only be considered for children under the supervision of a doctor or dietitian.

With good management and appropriate treatment, most people are able to control their atopic eczema.

IonWays Business Opportunity Made Simple

When IonWays Executives and business partners, Randy Hood and Kai Jacobsen, were introduced to alkaline, ionized water by an IonWays competitor, they were turned off at the high price of its machines. They began to do their own research and soon discovered IonWays and its state-of-the-art ionizer, the Athena, for half the price of its competition. Both Randy and Kai were so impressed with IonWays products, technology, and management that they decided to join!

Randy's recommendation to Associates who really want to get their businesses off the ground is, "If you want to work IonWays part time, commit to speaking with 2 or 3 new people a day about the water. If you're looking to work IonWays full time, you've got to commit to speaking to at least 10 new people a day." He adds, "Everybody drinks water, so you're not trying to get people do something they're not already doing." Kai includes, "Drink more water! Share it with the people that you care about. The power of marketing is only as big as your belief in the product. Be passionate about the water, and become a product of the product."

What's so exciting about IonWays? Kai says, "IonWays is a company with strong leadership that has a vision and heart; it offers a high quality products at an affordable price." Randy adds, "I look forward to IonWays being the number one ionizer company in the world!"

Venus - IonWays Newest Addition Of Water Ionizers

Announcing the Venus - the newest addition to the IonWays family of water ionizers! This new machine has a contemporary, stylish look that would compliment any modern American kitchen. Easy to use, the Venus is slightly smaller than other IonWays ionizers and is a smart choice for anyone who wants to save counter space. And, for the price, the Venus is one of the best values found in the water ionizer industry.

The Venus, despite its smaller price, uses the same efficient and modern water cell technology used in all IonWays ionizers. Its plates, unlike the mesh plates of the Delphi and Athena, are solid, similar to those found in the Isis.

The cleaning cycle of the Venus is different from the other models in our product line. This new model utilizes an older cleaning system that forces the ionizer to produce an acidic stream through the alkaline hose after every 20 liters of water passed. It will not, however, switch to an acidic stream in the middle of making alkaline water. Instead, the cleaning cycle indicator light will turn on after 20 liters of source water has passed through its system. This means that the next time you turn on the ionizer, you'll have to wait for 10-15 seconds while your machine goes through its pre-use cleaning cycle. Yes, this is an older cleaning system, but it's quite effective and works very well. With the Venus, it's important that the cleaning system warning light always be in plain sight of the user. For this reason, we recommend that the Venus be employed only in counter top applications.

Much like the Athena and Isis models, the Venus has a flow control knob located on the front to better control the speed at which the water passes through its cell. Water flow rate is one of the biggest factors in determining how thoroughly water is ionized. By simply turning the flow rate down, we can make water spend more time in the cell where it will receive a deeper alteration. The Athena and Isis both have a fine tune adjustment located underneath the unit, which enables you to set the same flow rate for every use. The Venus, however, doesn't have the fine tune adjustment and the water flow rate must be reset with every use. Although our newest model uses a simple-style flow control valve, it's still an effective method for adjusting the water flow rate.

All things considered, the Venus is an exciting addition to our product line and performs very well. It makes great alkaline, ionized water and sports a very affordable price tag; which, by-the-way, includes the best warranty in the water ionizer industry!

Dehydration Leads To Acidity

Linda Hayes, Certified Clinical Thermographer, has been using thermal imaging for early disease detection for the past twenty years. Thermography uses special, infrared-sensitive cameras to digitally record images of the variations in surface temperature of the human body.

Linda recommends IonWays water to her patients because, "Dehydration leads to acidity, which leads to disease in the body." When she first sees a patient, Linda takes a thermographic picture, which shows the acidity in the mouth and esophagus as the color red. After her patient drinks a glass of IonWays water she takes a second picture, which shows that the acidity has been neutralized. Linda has seen a myriad of patients who have been drinking alkaline, ionized water and have benefited from it. She has seen improvements in acid reflux disorders, migraine headaches, skin conditions, digestive disorders, and much more!

Linda has her own personal story with IonWays water - she lost 20 lbs. when she first started drinking alkaline, ionized water! She also found that, since drinking the water, she sleeps better at night. Linda says that alkaline, ionized water is an absolute necessity, "I can't go anywhere without it!"

Athletes Improve Performance Drinking IonWays Alkaline Water

Wellness Corner - Eric Harr

Eric, a professional triathlete for 10 years, has tried and tested every conceivable tool, technique, and method in his quest for competitive excellence. He's also a print and broadcast journalist and has, as he puts it, "Been pitched on virtually every product that claims to improve health, wellness, and performance. So, naturally, I'm a skeptical guy!"

Here's what Eric has to say about his Athena: "I can say with categorical confidence that the IonWays Athena has improved my health and my performance in a profound and tangible way. The things that have the most direct impact on my athletic performance are my ability to train and to recover. The Ionways Athena has improved both. I can work out with greater intensity because the water clearly helps to buffer lactic acid. It's quite a thrill, as a 'tri-geek,' to leave elite cyclists behind on climbs because they're bathing in lactic acid, while I am pedaling away!"

It's Eric's recovery time that has experienced a quantum leap! "I can finish a 6-hour ride while consuming alkaline water the entire way! And I recover within hours instead of days." He adds, "This device would absolutely help any runner, cyclist, or tri-athlete train better and smarter. Period."

Dr. Says Alkaline Water Sustains Vitality And Good Health

Hilary Back, N.D., Lac was introduced to IonWays water by a fellow naturopath and immediately embraced the concept of alkaline water and its benefits. For years, Hilary and her family were drinking reverse osmosis water, which is very acidic on the pH scale. Hilary knew that there had to be an alternative and she found it with IonWays alkaline, ionized water! Dr. Back says that she feels better about drinking this water because she knows that every cell depends on water for optimal function. Alkaline, ionized water is healthy water - water that can help her sustain vitality and good health.

The body must maintain a very specific pH and works very hard to do so. When acidic foods and beverages are added to our diet, and we live an acidic lifestyle, our bodies may start to pull the essential minerals it needs from other places, such as bones and teeth. Dr. Back recommends avoiding an acidic lifestyle, drinking half your body weight in ounces of alkaline ionized water each day, and making sure you get the right amount of vitamins on a day-to-day basis, especially Vitamin D. "Movement," she says, "Is extremely important. Whether it be walking, running, Tai Chi, yoga, hiking, biking, etc.; it helps to increase your blood flow." Dr. Back also encourages the use of ground, organic flax seeds, probiotics, and fish oil (Omega 3).

Dr. Back enjoys her IonWays Athena machine because it not only cleans the water, but also provides the alkalizing minerals that help the body maintain a proper pH balance. So, whether you are healthy or not, Dr. Back suggests that drinking alkaline, ionized water can either help you to stay healthy or help you to get back on track to achieving the optimal level of health you're looking for.

Another IonWays Success Story

Fifteen years before he began drinking alkaline, ionized water from Ionways, Rich Cox read a book called, "Reverse Aging." It's pages told about the importance of alkalizing the body to help prevent illness and although its truths made complete sense to him, Rich had no idea that alkaline, ionized water even existed! After sitting through an introductory meeting with Jay Hare, Rich joined the company under Mike Hanley, National Executive. After three years with Ionways, Rich is not only a Founding Member, but a full-time Executive, and has a very substantial organization in his down-line. He has never looked back for one minute!

Rich's advice to any Associate who wants to get their IonWays business off the ground is to share your enthusiasm for the product! Sell yourself on the water first - if you don't have your own great story, find someone who does! Rich says, "Experience always trumps 40,000 pages of scientific research."

Second, start sharing the water with everyone you know. Find people you care about and ask them to drink the water for a thirty day trial period.

Rich Cox knows how important it is to keep the body hydrated; yet, it's estimated that 75% of the human population is dehydrated at some level. Eventually, this can lead to malfunction in the body. "Maintaining proper hydration and pH balance at the cellular level is essential to one's well being. The body's ability to absorb vitamins and minerals has been linked to proper cellular pH." Rich believes in IonWays water because, "It lets the right things in and gets the wrong things out." Rich is a 10-year survivor of heart issues and the water has made a big difference in his life.

Three years ago, Jay Hare told Rich that 1 in every 5 households in Japan owns a water ionizer, 1 in every 8 households in Korea, and 1 in every 15,000 in the US. Seeing these numbers revealed the huge market potential, and Rich set his mind to find a way to penetrate the American market. His goal is to see hundreds of thousands of people in the United States and Canada using an ionizer at their own kitchen sink!

Fighting Disease With An Alkaline Lifestyle

IonWays Executive, Carla Gilmore, is firm believer in the idea that the human body must be alkaline in order to fight disease. A little over ten years ago, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She battled her condition with an alkaline diet, lots of exercise, and plenty of carrot juice and has been cancer-free ever since. This marked the beginning of Carla's mission to share with others the power of an alkaline lifestyle. Although she experienced tremendous results from her alkaline diet, Carla's quality of life still wasn't where she wanted it to be. She was experiencing issues with digestion, extreme fatigue, and the beginning stages of arthritis.

After she was introduced to alkaline, ionized water, Carla began to study the history and science behind the process of ionization. Because she's a nutritional counselor and involved in the field of research, she was fascinated by what she was learning. After a few weeks of study, Carla signed up as an IonWays associate and purchased an Athena. Her decision was based not on personal experience with alkaline, ionized water, but rather on the good science behind it. After three days of drinking the water from her Athena, Carla's issues with digestion, fatigue, and even her early symptoms of arthritis had subsided! Carla believes that alkaline, ionized water restored the quality of life she was so desperately seeking.

For Carla, it became a natural thing to share the water with other people, many of whom began to relate powerful testimonies about how the water affected their health for the better! This only fueled Carla's excitement about Ionways water and its business opportunity-and the more she shared the water, the more her business grew! Carla carries a bottle of IonWays water with her wherever she goes. She sees it as an opportunity to spark interest in IonWays water, especially at the gym where most people are drinking bottled water of some kind. She'll start conversation by asking, "What kind of water do you drink? Have you ever noticed a change in your health as a result the water you're drinking?" "No," is the usual answer. Carla uses this opportunity to offer a free, two-week water trial. When the two weeks are over, Carla speaks with them about their experience and emphasizes the benefits they've had from drinking the water. Then she congratulates them on a successful trial and asks which unit they've picked out for their home.

Carla is a part of IonWays because, "IonWays has such integrity. The pay plan is fabulous and everyone is so helpful! We really are a family, supporting each other." Carla's advice to Associates who want to build their IonWays business is, "Get out of your own way! Remember how blessed you are to have this amazing, alkaline water and this wonderful business opportunity. There are so many people out there who need what we already have! Be generous; be kind - find people in pain and get them on the water! Have fun and share testimonies with everyone you meet! It will give people hope." Carla, having battled serious health issues herself, knows firsthand how important it is to have someone shine a bright light on what may be a dark set of circumstances. It's so rewarding to know that you're involved in something so important.
