I had an interesting experience yesterday. I stopped by a little herb and health food shop not far from my house. I had spoken to the owner of this shop before, and although she seems a bit radical, she also seems knowledgeable about alternatives to conventional medicine. She sells Kangen water machines, and I wanted to find out how much they were.
She told me a couple of stories about people who had used Kangen water (water that has been made very alkaline) that sounded very promising. One woman had a cancerous breast tumor, and the doctors wanted to operate immediately. She put them off for three and a half weeks, and started drinking a gallon of Kangen water a day. When she went in for surgery, the tumor was gone. (Hey! That sounds good to me!) The store owner also told me about a doctor who had been given a few days to live because of cancer, and he started drinking the Kangen water--guess what! He got rid of the cancer!
OK. I was pretty hooked by this time. I was ready to pay anything for this marvelous machine that changes ordinary tap water into a healing miracle. "How much is the machine?" I asked her. She told me just under $4,000. Gulp! "Oh well," I thought, "I just paid $2235 to find out I had cancer. If I go for surgery, chemo, and radiation, it would cost thousands more. What is a mere $4,000?" But I told her I'd have to check with my husband first.
Then she started talking about the second coming of Christ, and having a Muslim elected as president was one of the "signs" that it was coming soon.
Pause. "A Muslim elected as president of the US? You mean Obama?"
"Oh yes! Obama is a Muslim, and it is going to be the downfall of the country."
I protested (as I had many times in my canvassing for Obama when people had claimed these ridiculous things), but a couple of customers in her shop, and her employee all chimed in. "Oh yes, he is a Muslim, and he was sworn in on the Koran instead of a Bible." One of the customers then said, "He isn't even an American citizen!" They couldn't accept that a man with a "Muslim" name like Barack HUSSAIN Obama could possibly be an American.
Nothing I could say about checking the facts would sway these people! I've found that since being diagnosed with cancer, I'm not as patient with stupidity as I used to be. I told them all those lies were pure crap, and they needed to check them out on Factcheck.org. Then I realized that they need to believe what they believe, and no amount of fact checking would make any difference.
The customer who claimed Obama wasn't an American citizen said, "It is the worst thing that has ever happened to America." Hmmm--if these people are looking forward to the second coming, and it was a prophecy that Christ would appear after a Muslim is elected president, it seems like they should have been out campaigning for Obama to make their prophecy come about!
I did go ahead and buy some Paw-Paw supplement from her (another highly touted anti-cancer supplement), but I didn't trust her enough by this time to even consider buying a water ionizer (the Kangen machine).
A little checking on the internet revealed that the machine she sells for $4,000 is not rated as highly as some other brands that cost half that amount! The price is greatly inflated because it is a Multi-Level Marketing company, and they pay huge commissions. I think I will go ahead and purchase the less expensive (and apparently better quality) ionizer and see if it helps, but I'm not going to expect it to cure my cancer. How could I trust stories told by someone who believes all the crap that was circulated about Obama in this campaign?

Isn't the amount of ignorance out there just stunning sometimes. Good for you for speaking the truth. Hang in there.
(not the same Sean in the post above)
Yeah, she sounds like a simpleton, but Kangen water is in fact amazing stuff.
The term Kangen was used in Japan to describe a specific high quality ionized water.
Enagic Corporation from Japan has been selling them for decades.
There are other ionizer companies around today (most of whom purchase from a common manufacturer: A shaved ice machine manufacturer in Korea).
These machines are technically water Ionizers, but are much lower quality. Amongst other issues, instead of using platinum dipped titanium plates they use a mesh metallic screen (which is much smaller to begin with).
Dr. Hiromi Shinya is the world famous inventor of the colonoscopy.

He puts all of his cancer patients on a health regiment which among other things includes Kangen water. He boasts 0% recurrence of cancer in his patients.
More can be said about the superiority of Kangen water (which is only produced by Enagic brand machines), but for now I'll just include two more notes on the biological premises.
Dr. Otto Warberg won a Nobel prize for his study of tumors, he stated that they thrive in the absence of oxygen, and dwindle in it's presence, he elaborated that the acidic environments were more prone to tumors, because they had less oxygen, the alkaline environments on the other hand had more oxygen.
Currently in Italy a Dr. Simoncini is making a lot of headway, elimintaing cancer, by navigating into the body with a fiber optic camera and an attached hose, that thoroughly soaks cancerous tissues with a solution of sodium bicarbonate (BAKING SODA!) which is of course highly alkaline.
The FDA in the United States does not allow you to claim any cures, unless your product is, in fact, a drug
Some would call this a shotgun approach to preventing people from selling snake oil. Other people have theories of an ignoble relationship between the FDA and the immensely wealthy pharmaceutical industry. I certainly don't know which it is.
Suffice it to say, I am not legally permitted to claim that Kangen water will cure your cancer.
I can however tell you that it is a superior producer of alkaline water, capable of greatly reducing acid in tissues in the body, as well as being an incredible antioxidant.
In summation Judith: Mother-Moonbeam down at the Second coming health collective may not be terribly enlightened, but that doesn't mean she hasn't stumbled onto a good thing.
