Cancer does not develop for some unknown reason. Once you understand why and how it develops, and learn how to support your body so that it may more effectively fight cancer, it may never be too late to get healthy again. (No matter what type, they have the same underlying causes.) Cancer is a natural process where, to put it simply, an overworked and weakened immune system cannot kill it as fast as it is multiplying. Toxin, carcinogens, radiation, even viruses, combined with an unhealthy internal environment , and in conjunction with a weakened immune system, cause more cells to turn cancerous, and allows them to thrive.
You must change your internal environment to one in which cancer cannot thrive. Just as we couldn't live on Mars with no oxygen, cancer can't exist in cells where there is enough oxygen. Unfortunately, all too often our cells are low in oxygen. Fortunately it is possible to increase the levels of oxygen in cells, thus, making your body's internal environment a place where cancer can't easily survive.
Immune System Support for Cancer
Cancer is a perfectly natural process. A very small percentage of cells in every person who has ever lived turn cancerous. And the body usually gets rid of those cancerous cells before they do harm. It is only when more cancer cells are being created than the body can get rid of that the problem comes. With increased toxins, viruses, carcinogens, etc. our immune systems have become significantly overworked and weakened.
We Face a Time of New Beginning
In the beginning, the earth's atmosphere was 37% oxygen. Now the atmosphere is 20% oxygen. Oxygen is essential to metabolize food and create high energy, and it is also impossible for cancer to exist in an alkaline oxygen-rich environment.
All people have the right to know the truth and the basics for human life.
God did not create the human body to suffer from cancer, and if we will use the same methods scientists use, to return the body to its original state, we will never suffer from this disease. People who know and apply this information are saving hundreds of thousands of lives annually.
Scientists have simply shown us how to raise the body's alkalinity and oxygen, remove toxins, rebalance our internal environment to eliminate cancer. The method is just a logical and safe way of returning the body to its original state.

What is Acidosis?
Acid / Alkaline Balance
Over acidity, which can become a dangerous condition that weakens all body systems, is very common today. It gives rise to an internal environment conducive to disease, as opposed to a pH-balanced environment which allows normal body function necessary for the body to resist disease. A healthy body maintains adequate alkaline reserves to meet emergency demands. When excess acids (acidosis) must be neutralized, our alkaline reserves are depleted, leaving the body in a weakened condition.
Every day we wage our own private war against molds, yeasts, bacteria, viruses and fungi. By using antibiotics as the first line of defense we have encouraged the development of more powerful deadly bugs and bacteria.
Our immune systems are becoming weaker and over-taxed in this war. Louis Pasteur declared the germ theory of disease that states germs are the cause of disease. But note Dr. Pasteur's dying words: "The germ is nothing, the inner terrain is everything".
The concept of acid alkaline imbalance as the cause of disease is not new. In 1933 a New York doctor named William Howard Hay published a ground-breaking book, A New Health Era in which he maintains that all disease is caused by autotoxication (or "self-poisoning") due to acidosis in the body.
"Now we depart from health in just the proportion to which we have allowed our alkalis to be dissipated by introduction of acid-forming food in too great amount... It may seem strange to say that all disease is the same thing, no matter what its myriad modes of expression, but it is verily so". William Howard Hay, M.D.
More recently, in his remarkable book Alkalize or Die , Dr. Theodore A. Baroody says essentially the same thing:
"The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause...too much tissue acid waste in the body!" Theodore A. Baroody, N.D., D.C., Ph.D.
Modern science has revealed that the cause of aging may be far more simple than previously thought. Almost 99% of the components of food that we consume every day are composed of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen with only 1% minerals.
The wastes produced from food are highly acidic and acidosis is one of the main contributors that lead to the aging process and various illnesses. Acid waste is excreted from the human body in the form of urine or sweat. But the wastes not excreted will be circulating around in the blood, in the body. This acidic waste will gradually accumulate somewhere in our capillaries blood vessels, and eventually clog them up. Also as a consequence of this, the cells of the human body will be deprived of their supply of oxygen and essential nutrients, rendering these cells inactive in reproduction. That's the main reason why people age. Moreover, with the capillary blood vessels clogged up, the function of every organ in the human body accumulating acidic waste will begin to deteriorate, causing serious illnesses in the long run.
If the cause of aging and other diseases lie in acidosis, then the answer to longer life must lie in eliminating such acidic wastes. Hence, to neutralize acidic meals, alkaline water could be the answer. Many doctors recommend a vegetarian or low meat diet as alkaline minerals and vegetables help neutralize acidic waste. But vegetables only contain a very small amount of alkaline minerals and that is why a very large quantity of vegetables needs to be consumed in order to neutralize these wastes in the body.
If we were to ask what is killing us, the answer might be ACIDOSIS. It has been demonstrated that an acidic, anaerobic (lacking oxygen) body environment encourages the breeding of fungus, mold, bacteria, and viruses. Let us look at an example. If we were to seal the door to our freezer and then unplug it, come back and open the door in two weeks, what would we find? Mold, bacteria and microscopic bugs that are growing and multiplying. Where did they all come from? They did not sneak in - remember the door was sealed. The answer is . . . they were always there. It is simply that the environment changed to a more inviting and healthy one for these 'critters' to live in. This can be likened to a shift in our biological terrain from a healthy oxygenated, alkaline environment to an unhealthy anaerobic acidic environment.
Dr. Otto Heinrich Warburg,1931 Nobel Prize Winner
The Root Cause of Cancer
Dr. Otto Warburg discovered the root cause of cancer in 1923 and he received the Nobel Prize for doing so in 1931. Dr. Warburg was director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute (now Max Planck Institute) for cell physiology at Berlin. He investigated the metabolism of tumors and the respiration of cells, particularly cancer cells. Below are some direct quotes by Dr. Warburg during medical lectures where he was the keynote speaker:
“Cancerous tissues are acidic, whereas healthy tissues are alkaline.
Water splits into H+ and OH- ions, if there is an excess of H+, it is acidic; if there is an excess of OH- ions, then it is alkaline.”
In his work The Metabolism of Tumours he demonstrated that all forms of cancer are characterized by two basic conditions: acidosis and hypoxia (lack of oxygen). Lack of oxygen and acidosis are two sides of the same coin: where you have one, you have the other.
"All normal cells have an absolute requirement for oxygen, but cancer cells can live without oxygen - a rule without exception." –Dr. Otto Warburg
"Deprive a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours and it may become cancerous." – Dr. Otto Warburg.
Dr. Warburg has made it clear that the prime cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency (brought about by Toxemia). Dr Warburg discovered that cancer cells are anaerobic (do not breathe oxygen) and cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen.
The other is the theory of acidic cells, by a Japanese doctor, Dr. Airashi.
Dr. Airashi showed that cells that survive in acidic environments will eventually develop cancerous characteristics.
Even though cancer cells are eliminated entirely through an operation, they reoccur because the acidic surroundings still remain after the operation. So, to help prevent this, we should stop the development of acidosis by having a healthy diet, avoiding stress, living in a healthy environment and exercising.
The Book "Water of Life" by Dr Won H. Kim
The author, Won H. Kim, is currently a professor at Yonsei University Wonju Medical School Biochemistry Department. He became interested in water because of his daughter, and dedicated his work to a long research. That has led to an acknowledgement of his foremost authority on water. He graduated from Seoul National University's Chemistry Department, and received his doctorate in biochemistry from England's Oxford University. He has also held tenure at United States Carnegie Mellon University as a research professor. His chief subject of research in England and United States was protein structure. After returning to Korea, Dr Kim has focused much attention on Alternative Medicine and the world of super-scientific subtle energy in addition to his research on protein and genes.
In his book, Dr Kim discusses how he'd discovered the healing properties of alkaline reduced water, how his experiment showed promising anti-cancer and anti-diabetic effects, and how he helped his daughter overcome her hormonal health problem. This is a book filled with rich information and personal experiences that Dr Kim shares selflessly.
Anti-cancer and Anti-diabetic Effect of Alkaline Reduced Water (ARW) in Animal Model
(Watch the last video at the right side bar)
This study was done by the inventor of BIO-Q (Mineral rocks inside Gratitude Bottle and G2O), Dr. H. Kim of Department of Biochemistry, Wonju College of Medicine, Yonsei University, Wonju 220-701, Kangwondo, Korea. He reported anti-cancer and anti-diabetic effects with the use of Alkaline Reduced Water (ARW) produced using BIO-Q. Various tests were carried out on lab mice with the following summary findings and observations:
Recently, electrolyzed-reduced water with high pH and significant negative redox potential was shown to have SOD-like activity and catalase-like activity, and thus, scavenge ROS and protect DNA from damage by oxygen radicals in vitro. If ARW is actually acting as antioxidants and protects DNA from damage, it might be hypothesized that ARW intake would be possible to show anti-cancer effect.
ARW intake slowed down tumor growth, and inhibited the intravenous metastasis, leading to prolonged survival span in B16 melanoma injected mice. B16 melanoma cell is one of the most frequent tumors in humans and is characterized by its high capacity for invasion and metastasis. They escape from immune surveillance and spread more rapidly than any other tumors using several mechanisms including MHC down-regulation, increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and thus, expedite the progression of metastasis.
Our study demonstrated that ARW not only acts as an anti-oxidant but also acts as a strong immunomoduator, both of which could be responsible for the anti-cancer effect. Thus, ARW is expected to be effective for the various diseases resulting from low immunity and/or high reactive oxygen species as well as for the prevention of cancer.
In actuality, ARW demonstrate anti-diabetic effect as well as anti-cancer effect. ARW lowered blood glucose, triglyceride, and total cholesterol levels in OLTF rats which had a diabetes-inducing hereditary defect as it grew. Recently, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia are known to be related to ROS levels in blood vessels, tissues, and cells. Thus, it has been recognized that the scavenging of ROS and the control of lipid metabolism are both quite relevant to the control of diabetes. Anti-diabetic effect of ARW in the present paper also confirmed the relation.
There is no medicine which is effective both for cancer and diabetes, suggesting their mechanism is completely different from that of current medicine which treats only specific disease condition. Thus, ARW seems to work rather as water panacea.
ARW not only has high pH and low ORP, but also contain some magnesium ion. Recently, magnesium was shown to be effective for the prevention of various diseases including cancer and diabetes. We cannot exclude the possibility that the magnesium in ARW might have contributed to the anti-cancer and anti-diabetic effect.
The interesting fact is ARW-drinking rats had a much higher intake of water than rats drinking regular water. It cannot be verified whether the alkaline water was delicious to the rats or if the animals sensitively and instinctively felt it was good for their health, but we simply had to change the water in the mineral-containing bottles more often.
Water reaches every tissue of human body within 30 minutes after drinking. It even flows through blood brain barrier with no obstacle, and has almost no side effect. Taking ARW could be an ideal way to maintain health.
What Causes Me to be Acidic?
The reason acidosis is more common in our society is mostly due to the typical American diet, which is far too high in acid-producing animal products like meat, eggs and dairy, and far too low in alkaline-producing foods like fresh vegetables. Additionally, we eat acid-producing processed foods like white flour and sugar and drink acid-producing beverages like coffee and soft drinks. We use too many drugs, which are acid-forming; and we use artificial chemical sweeteners which are extremely acid-forming. One of the best things we can do to correct an overly-acid body is to clean up the diet and lifestyle.
Most people who suffer from unbalanced pH are too acidic. This condition forces the body to borrow minerals including calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium, from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely remove it from the body. Because of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage due to high acidity. A condition that may go undetected for years.
Over acidity, which can become a dangerous condition that weakens all body systems, is very common today. It gives rise to an internal environment conducive to disease, as opposed to a pH-balanced environment which allows normal body function necessary for the body to resist disease. A healthy body maintains adequate alkaline reserves to meet emergency demands.

Because of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage due to high acidity. A condition that may go undetected for years.
What is Oxidation?
Oxygen is essential to survival. It is relatively stable in the air, but when too much is absorbed into the body it can become active and unstable and has a tendency to attach itself to any biological molecule, including molecules of healthy cells.
The chemical activity of these free radicals is due to one or more pairs of unpaired electrons.
About 2% of the oxygen we normally breathe becomes active oxygen, and this amount increases to approximately 20% with aerobic exercise.
Such free radicals with unpaired electrons are unstable and have a high oxidation potential, which means they are capable of stealing electrons from other cells. This chemical mechanism is very useful in disinfectants such as hydrogen peroxide and ozone which can be used to sterilize wounds or medical instruments. Inside the body these free radicals are of great benefit due to their ability to attack and eliminate bacteria, viruses and other waste products.
Problems arise, however, when too many of these active oxygen molecules, or free radicals, are produced in the body. They are extremely reactive and can also attach themselves to normal, healthy cells and damage them genetically. These active oxygen radicals steal electrons from normal, healthy biological molecules. This electron theft by active oxygen oxidizes tissue and can cause disease. Because active oxygen can damage normal tissue, it is essential to scavenge this active oxygen from the body before it can cause disintegration of healthy tissue. If we can find an effective method to block the oxidation of healthy tissue by active oxygen, then we can attempt to prevent disease.
What are Antioxidants? What are the benefits of Antioxidants?
Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (by-products) which can cause damage. Antioxidants act as "free radical scavengers" and hence prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals. Health problems such as heart disease, macular degeneration, diabetes, cancer etc., are all contributed by oxidative damage. Indeed, a recent study conducted by researchers from London found that 5 servings of fruits and vegetables reduce the risk of stroke by 25 percent. Antioxidants may also enhance immune defense and therefore lower the risk of cancer and infection.
About pH and Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) Instruments
The other way an alkaline water making device alters the water is to turn it into a powerful antioxidant, measured as ORP ("Oxidation Reduction Potential") -- It is a more complex concept and is an extremely difficult to measure accurately. ORP is sometimes referred to as "Redox". An alteration of the ORP of your drinking water is what causes the microclustering, antioxidant and hydrating effects. ORP is a "potential" energy that is stored and ready to be put to work. An analogous way to look at ORP would be to consider pressure. When you blow up a balloon you use energy that creates force. As long as the balloon remains closed, this force is a “stored potential energy” in this case measured as air pressure. When released, this “potential” energy becomes kinetic energy.
Potential electrical energy in liquid can be measured. It is measured with an ORP meter. These meters display extremely slight, and highly variable differences in the electrical properties of water. ORP readings are expressed in millivolts (1/1000 of a single volt).
ORP measures the presence of oxidizing or [oxidation] reducing agents by their specific electrical charge, thus Oxidation Reduction "Potential". Oxidation in simple terms is what turns an apple brown after it is cut or causes metal to rust. Rust weakens metal and signifies the deterioration of the apple. High pH water has more "reducing" agents (-ORP) and low pH water has more oxidizing agents (+ORP). High pH alkaline water demonstrates a negative (-)ORP and so is a reducing agent or “antioxidant”.
Tap water: What it is and isn't
Normal tap water, for example, with a pH of 7 is approximately neutral on the pH scale of 0 to 14. When measured with an ORP (oxidation potential) meter its redox potential is approximately +400 to +500 mV. Because it has a positive redox potential, it is apt to acquire electrons and oxidize other molecules. Reduced Alkaline Water, on the other hand, has a negative redox potential of approximately -250 to -350 mV. This means it has a large mass of electrons ready to donate to electron-thieving active oxygen.

What Doctors say about Alkaline Water
Dr. Theodore Baroody
Author, "Alkalize or Die"
"I have administered over 5000 gallons of this water for about every health situation imaginable. I feel that restructured alkaline water can benefit everyone."
Felicia Drury Climent
Author, "The Acid Alkaline balance Diet,"
Adjunct Professor, City College, New York
"After years of a very positive continuous clinical experiment that I am conducting - with hundreds of clients - it is my opinion that this exciting technology will change the way in which all health providers and the public will approach their health in the coming years....My suggestion is to drink restructured alkaline water whenever possible."
Dr. Susan Lark
University lecturer and author of "The Chemistry Of Success"
"Drinking four to six glasses of alkaline water a day will help to neutralize over acidity and over time will help to restore your buffering ability.. Like vitamins C, E and Beta Carotene, alkaline water acts as an antioxidant because of its excess supply of free electrons. This can help the body against the development of heart disease, strokes, immune dysfunctions, and other common ailments."
Dr. Sherry Rogers
"Alkaline water rids the body of acid waste... After carefully evaluating the results of my advice to hundreds of individuals, I'm convinced that toxicity in the form of acidic waste is the primary cause of degenerative disease."
Dr. Ingfreid Hobert, MD
"You do not need expensive medicine with all the negative side effects to regain health... Alkaline water has profound long term effects because it alkalizes your body and provides an effective antioxidant."
Dr. Robert O. Young, PhD
In his book, The pH Miracle
"Those willing to look again, and with clear eyes, will be rewarded with the secrets to permanent health. We can heal ourselves by changing the environment inside our bodies. Potentially harmful invaders, then, will have nowhere to grow and will become harmless."
Dr Hidemitsu Hayashi
Director of the Water Institute, Tokyo
"Bad diets such as meat and potatoes, fried foods, soft drink colas, and sugars build up acid salts in the body. Often these deposits, by having to be stored away from the blood flow, can remain in the body for decades.

What is Fucoidan?
For thousands of years, the people from Korea, China, and Japan have turned to the sea for nourishment. Scientists are just now discovering that there is wisdom to these “foods from the sea” that goes far beyond simple nourishment. They have found that nutrients in these foods may explain some of the reasons for low disease rates and longevity of these peoples.
In particular, brown seaweed, has played a strong role in their diets. An extract of brown seaweed, called Fucoidan (pronounced “foo-COY-dun”) was discovered over 100 years ago and is the subject of over 500 research studies. The research has found that Fucoidan is known for its immune boosting properties, is an anti-inflammatory, and contains antioxidants. It is hard to believe so much goodness can be wrapped up in one small package, but Fucoidan demonstrates that foods from the sea can not only be nutritious, but health promoting too.
Fucoidan is one of the main ingredients in Diamond Tree’s new product Passion Tonic. It is made from a blend of vinegar, fermented herbs, and fruit juices. This powerful drink stimulates and nourishes the digestive system, alkalizes the blood, and is high in antioxidants.

Clinical Findings:
Fucoidan induces apoptosis of human HS-sultan cells accompanied by activation of caspase-3 and down-regulation of ERK pathways.
Aisa Y, Miyakawa Y, Nakazato T, Shibata H, Saito K, Ikeda Y, Kizaki M. Department of Internal Medicine, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide in brown seaweed, was found to inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in human lymphoma HS-Sultan cell lines. Fucoidan-induced apoptosis was accompanied by the activation of caspase-3 and was partially prevented by pretreatment with a pan-caspase inhibitor, z-VAD-FMK. The mitochondrial potential in HS-Sultan cells was decreased 24 hr after treatment with fucoidan, indicating that fucoidan induced apoptosis through a mitochondrial pathway. When HS-Sultan was treated with 100 microg/mL fucoidan for 24 hr, phosphorylation of ERK and GSK markedly decreased. In contrast, phosphorylation of p38 and Akt was not altered by treatment with fucoidan. L-selectin and P-selectin are known to be receptors of fucoidan; however, as HS-Sultan does not express either of these selectins, it is unlikely that fucoidan induced apoptosis through them in HS-Sultan. The neutralizing antibody, Dreg56, against human L-selectin did not prevent the inhibitory effect of fucoidan on the proliferation of IM9 and MOLT4 cells, both of which express L-selectin; thus it is possible fucoidan induced apoptosis though different receptors. These results demonstrate that fucoidan has direct anti-cancer effects on human HS-Sultan cells through caspase and ERK pathways. PMID: 15609279 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

BACKGROUND: We showed that fucoidan, extracted from dietary seaweed, could inhibit tumor growth. However, the mechanism of Mekabu (Sporophyll of Undaria pinnatifida) fucoidan antitumor activity and how it enhances the immune response remains unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined the effect of Mekabu fucoidan in P-388 tumor-bearing mice and in T cell-mediated NK cell activity in normal mice. RESULTS: The survival of mice was prolonged when Mekabu fucoidan was administered for 4 days before tumor cell inoculation, compared with non-treated mice. Fucoidan significantly enhanced the cytolytic activity of NK cells and increased the amount of IFN-gamma produced by T cells up to about 2-fold compared with non-treated mice. CONCLUSION: The anti-tumor effect of Mekabu fucoidan appears to be mediated by IFN-gamma-activated NK cells.

Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is caused by human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and remains incurable. The highest endemic area of HTLV-1 carriers in Japan is located in Okinawa, and novel treatments are urgently needed in this area. We extracted fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide, from the brown seaweed Cladosiphon okamuranus Tokida cultivated in Okinawa, Japan and examined its tumor-suppression activity against ATL. Fucoidan significantly inhibited the growth of peripheral blood mononuclear cells of ATL patients and HTLV-1-infected T-cell lines but not that of normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Fucoidan induced apoptosis of HTLV-1-infected T-cell lines mediated through downregulation of cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein-2 and survivin and G1 phase accumulation through the downregulation of cyclin D2, c-myc, and hyperphosphorylated form of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein. Further analysis showed that fucoidan inactivated NF-kappaB and activator protein-1 and inhibited NF-kappaB-inducible chemokine, C-C chemokine ligand 5 (regulated on activation, normal T expressed and secreted) production, and homotypic cell-cell adhesion of HTLV-1-infected T-cell lines. In vivo use of fucoidan resulted in partial inhibition of growth of tumors of an HTLV-1-infected T-cell line transplanted subcutaneously in severe combined immune deficient mice. Our results indicate that fucoidan is a potentially useful therapeutic agent for patients with ATL.
Inhibitory effect of fucoidan on the adhesion of adenocarcinoma cells to fibronectin.

Fucoidans inhibit tumour cell adhesion to various substrata, but their mechanisms of action are not fully understood. Using 3H-fucoidan, we observed that fucoidan binds to fibronectin, this binding being saturable and sensitive to ionic strength and pH. The interaction occurred on at least four different sites along the polypeptide chain, two of them being the heparin-binding sequences. Moreover, when MDA-MB-231 tumour cells were exposed to DTAF-fucoidan, internalization occurred and punctuated vesicles were observed in the perinuclear region. The treated cells also showed a different morphology with a cytoskeleton devoid of vinculin and a reorganization of the repartition of the integrin-alpha5 subunit on the cell surface. Based on these data, we hypothesize that fucoidan inhibits the adhesion of MDA-MB-231 cells to fibronectin i) by blocking the protein's heparin- and cell-binding domains, ii) by modulating the reorganization of the integrin alpha5 subunit and iii) by down-regulating the expression of vinculin.

Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed, has anticoagulant and antithrombotic activities. Unlike heparin, it shows an inhibitory action on the progression and metastasis of malignant tumors, although the precise mechanisms have not been elucidated. We have demonstrated previously that fucoidan can inhibit tube formation following migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and that its chemical oversulfation enhances the inhibitory potency. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that fucoidan may suppress tumor growth by inhibiting tumor-induced angiogenesis. Both natural and oversulfated fucoidans (NF and OSF) significantly suppressed the mitogenic and chemotactic actions of vascular endothelial growth factor 165 (VEGF(165)) on HUVEC by preventing the binding of VEGF(165) to its cell surface receptor. The suppressive effect of OSF was more potent than that of NF, suggesting an important role for the numbers of sulfate groups in the fucoidan molecule. Consistent with its inhibitory actions on VEGF(165), OSF clearly suppressed the neovascularization induced by Sarcoma 180 cells that had been implanted in mice. The inhibitory action of fucoidan was also observed in the growth of Lewis lung carcinoma and B16 melanoma in mice. These results indicate that the antitumor action of fucoidan is due, at least in part, to its anti-angiogenic potency and that increasing the number of sulfate groups in the fucoidan molecule contributes to the effectiveness of its anti-angiogenic and antitumor activities.

Why We Must Use Alkaline Water For Health Benefits
Proper hydration of alkaline water plays a critical role in the alkaline diet for your health. Water is an essential and the major component of all living matter, and the largest single component of our bodies (75%). Water is the one substance (other than oxygen) that we must absolutely have if we are to survive.
The purpose of alkaline water for you health is not only hydration, but also to help flush the body of acidic wastes and toxins. Let's remember the reason we want to increase our alkaline water intake: to remove impurities, toxins and acids from our health system and to provide pure water for our bodies to use. The more toxic the body, the less oxygen is delivered to cells. Oxygen starvation at the cellular level leads to disease; in fact, it’s an undisputed fact that cancer cells cease to grow when blood and tissues are sufficiently oxygenated.
When dietary and other factors cause an overly acidic condition in our bloodstream, the body is forced to either eliminate or to store away acidic wastes in order to restore our body's critical pH health balance. The water we drink should help us slow the process of acidic health build up by removing it, not by adding to it. So, we must choose only pure water with an alkaline pH for maximum health.
Passion Tonic (Fucoidan)
The Secret of Okinawa LongevityOceans are home to the majority of plants and animals that live on the Earth. As you may know, Okinawa is considered the island of longevity, in Japan. Fucoidan, a natural ingredient contained in the slimy exterior and interior of the Okinawa sea vegetable (Mozuku and Mekabu) is the open secret of health-oriented Okinawa people. Okinawa, the southernmost prefecture of Japan, is known as the "islands boasting the highest longevity in Japan." It is also where the mortality rate by cancer is the lowest in the nation.
One of the reasons is considered the unique dietary habits of the Okinawan people. The key ingredients of Okinawan cuisine are varieties of sea vegetables such as Kombu, Mozuku and Mekabu. Kombu is usually produced in the northern sea around Hokkaido, but there is a reason people in Okinawa have come to eat Kombu as part of their traditional diet. Japan began exporting Kombu to Qing (the current China) during the middle of the Edo period (around the first half of the 18th century).
Okinawa was a gateway port through which kombu was brought to Qing. This is why kombu became a popular food in Okinawa. While people on the island of Honshu (the largest island in Japan) often use Kombu to make soup stock, Okinawans generally eat Kombu directly. When consumed this way, all the natural nutrients can be accessed and absorbed. Okinawa is the largest consumer of Kombu in Japan. Moreover, it is said that the amount of Mozuku consumed in Okinawa is 10 times as much as the amount consumed in any other prefecture. We often associate mozuku with the small dish accompanying sake.
In Okinawa, however, Mozuku is commonly used in Miso soup or Zosui (Japanese porridge of rice and vegetables). Everyone must have heard somewhere that sea vegetables are good for the body, since it is abundant in vitamins as well as iodine, calcium, manganese, iron, zinc, potassium and other minerals. Sea vegetables absorb the abundant minerals dissolved in seawater as they grow, so naturally it is a rich source of minerals. In a sense, sea vegetables are concentrate of all the goodness found in the sea. Plants grow by means of photosynthesis, and sea vegetables in the ocean also conducts photosynthesis. Blue algae-which attaches itself to rocks and quay walls-and the green algae found in relatively shallow seas, grow where they can receive sufficient amounts of light. The red algae can conduct photosynthesis in the presence of relatively little light found in deeper waters, while brown algae often inhabits the intermediate depths.
People of the modern age have an unbalanced diet lacking in vitamins and minerals, and this imbalance tends to invite the onset of diseases. However, Kombu, Mozuku and other varieties of sea vegetable replenish the body with vitamins and minerals. This is why sea vegetables are believed to be good for the health. However, simply understanding the natural goodness of sea vegetables do not reveal the secret of longevity long enjoyed by the people of Okinawa. The key to that secret lies in Fucoidan.
Fermena + Fermena Plus
More than 80% of us carry around 6 to 25 pounds of undigested wastes. Our intestinal tracts contain bacteria. Some can make us sick. The others are “beneficial bacteria” and help our digestion, immune system and our ability to absorb nutrients. Medications, stress, excess alcohol and poor dietary habits can cause an imbalance.When good bacteria are depleted from the intestines, harmful bacteria take over inviting toxic build up, illness or symptoms such as gas and bloating.
Synbiotic (prebiotic + probiotic ) is the most powerful combination to remove undigested waste and restore healthy bacteria in your digestive system.
Beneficial bacteria have a dramatic effect on your health:
1. Improve digestion and help eliminate toxins.
2. Protect against harmful intestinal organisms.
3. Help increase metabolism.
4. Allow the body to absorb nutrients better.
5. Help promote a strong immune system.
6. Can have a significant effect on maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.
7. Increase energy
8. Better complexion
Fermena and Fermena Plus remove toxic build up and keep your digestive tract purified and filled with healthy bacteria and live enzymes.
Fermena is a 100% pure prebiotic superfood that contains vital nutrients from over 50 fermented fruits, vegetables and grains produced from the rich soil and water of the Brazilian rain forests.
Fermena Plus contains over 300 million superior bacillus coagulans probiotic bacteria that populate the colon at a 30% higher rate than other probiotics.
Fermena (Prebiotic)
Over 50 potent fruits, vegetables and grains from rich Brazilian soils. Fermena’s ingredients are grown miles from toxic pollutants, on a specially designed 17,000 acre farm in the Brazilian rain forest, one of the world’s most immense ecosystems. When they are harvested, they undergo a 6-month fermentation process, in a strictly controlled environment that ensures the highest quality. Fermentation helps purify your body. Fermena’s Slow Fermentation Technology unlocks 100% pure prebiotic nutrients that are critical to digestive health. These nutrients help activate enzymes and stimulate beneficial bacteria to improve digestion, protect against harmful intestinal organisms, eliminate toxic build-up and keep the intestines clean and healthy.Fermenting foods may sound like a strange idea to Western ears, until we stop and realize just how common fermented foods are. People can usually remember that wine and beer, and even bread, are all fermented.
Fermentation was first probably discovered as a way to preserve food. Fermented foods do not spoil and last a lot longer than the fresh foods. Fermentation also improves the taste and texture of many foods. Benefits of fermentation:
• increases digestibility and absorption of foods.
• increases vitamin levels in the food.
• reduces flatulence (gas).
• produces numerous enzymes.
• produces antibiotic and anti-cancer substances.
• lactic acid promotes growth of healthy flora in our intestines
Essentially, fermentation allows us access to foods that we normally couldn’t digest, and helps to replenish our own digestive microflora.
While a common part of many Asian meals, the importance of fermented foods is just beginning to be discovered in the West. Miso, tofu, kimchi, tempeh, pickled ginger and other foods are gaining in popularity for their health benefits and taste.
Enzymes strengthen your overall health
When you were young you felt great most of the time. But, as your body ages, it finds it harder to produce enzymes. You might not be able to eat rich or spicy foods or perhaps you’re not as active. It also means that you may be susceptible to poor health and fatigue. Fermena helps your body produce the life-sustaining enzymes that enhance the growth of healthy cells, improve digestion and nutrient absorption, eliminate waste and provide energy.
A healthy intestine is the gateway to longevity and a better quality of life. Fermena is a powerful prebiotic that promotes healthy probiotic activity in the human system by developing a synergistic interaction between live enzymes from healthy food and friendly bacteria that live in the digestive tract. Fermena is safe for adults and children of all ages. It is 100% natural, contains no preservatives, and yet requires no refrigeration.
Fermena is a potent prebiotic supplement originally designed and formulated by Dr. Michio Kushi – the man universally acknowledged as the Master of Macrobiotics. In Dr. Kushi's Fermena formula acts as a nutritional "starter kit" to work with a number of polysaccharides, Oligosaccharrides and other nutrients designed to powerfully activate the probiotic friendly flora in the human system.

Currently, Dr. Kushi holds various important positions such as the President of Kushi Foundation, Inc., and President of the Green Cross Group, Japan.
Dr. Michio Kushi carefully evaluated and selected the ingredients for Fermena based on the macrobiotic theory and the Yin-Yang philosophy. Dr. Kushi discovered that by adding Fermena to our normal diet, one can get some of the same benefits of macrobiotics without adopting a completely macrobiotic lifestyle.
Says Dr. Kushi,
"I selected over 50 kinds of plants for the ingredients of Fermena based on the macrobiotic theory, principally focusing on the Yin-Yang balance. I combined the materials with a grain and bean base while placing an emphasis on intestinal absorption of vitamins and minerals of wild grasses, herbs, vegetables and fruits. As far as I know, this is the first enzyme having such a wonderful taste and nutriment. If Fermena is incorporated in the daily meals, anyone can start improving his or her dietary habits without understanding the difficult concepts of macrobiotic diet. I hope that this attempt can help promote human health."
Fermena Daily Usage:
• Eat 2 tubes of Fermena each day. Fermena can be eaten directly from the tube or mixed with water to create a delicious juice.
• To jumpstart your day, mix 2 tubes of Fermena with 8 ounces of G2O alkaline water or Gratitude alkaline water and drink before breakfast.
• Drink plenty of alkaline water throughout the day.
• Fermena can be used for fasting from 3-5 days. Mix 25 tubes with 2 liters or more of alkaline water and drink throughout the day. If preferred, you can fast one day each week. Eat light meals the day before you fast and the day after you fast.
• You can also use Fermena as a meal replacement, once-a-day. The preferable time is in place of dinner, to allow your system to rest until morning.

Fermena Plus (Probiotic)
Over 300 million superior Bacillus coagulans bacteria.Finding digestive bacteria that can actually help restore the digestive ecosystem has been a challenge. We’ve all seen ads for products like yogurt that contain probiotics. The problem is that few to none of these actually reach the lower intestine where they are needed.
Bacillus coagulans is one of the few healthy bacteria that has been clinically proven to be able to make it through the tough environments of the stomach and establish itself in the lower intestines. The key is in its ability to be dried and packaged in a room-temperature supplement, and yet still become vital once taken internally. Bacillus coagulans not only help correct the imbalance of bad bacteria, it has also been shown to help with a wide variety of digestive and immune related conditions including irritable bowel, diarrhea, flu and may even help lower cholesterol levels.
Advanced Asian Ball Technology insures delivery.
You will notice something special about Fermena Plus. Most supplements you see come in capsules or tablets, but Fermena Plus delivers the Bacillus coagulans in small whole food balls produced by a special process called Advanced Ball Technology. This technique has been used for hundreds of years with Chinese herbal medicine. Now, Advanced Ball Technology ensures optimal results and allows the right nutrients to be delivered at the right time as the nutrients pass through your digestive tract. 100% natural. No preservatives or artificial flavors. No refrigeration needed.
Prebiotic + Probiotic vs Antibiotics
70% of your immune system is in your digestive tract. We rarely think about our digestive system as we go about our day. Unless we’re sick or experiencing discomfort, we take it for granted. We often treat the symptoms; yet neglect to keep our digestive system healthy. Since 70% of our immune system is in the digestive tract, it’s easy to see how stomach imbalance can lead to serious health problems. By keeping your digestive tract clean and filled with healthy bacteria and live enzymes, your overall immune system remains healthy. Health professionals predict that prebiotics + probiotics can be as important in this century as antibiotics were in the last.
Good internal health is essential to your overall well being. Just how well you take care of your digestive system can determine much of your health and longevity. While you should eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid too many processed foods, get enough sleep, reduce stress in your life and get plenty of exercise, many of us find it hard to take good care of ourselves with our busy schedules.
Most people don‘t think too much about their “digestive system ecology”, but these microorganisms, or beneficial bacteria, play a vital and essential role in your nutrition and health.
Fermena Plus Daily Usage:
Take 12 balls each day. Can be taken all at once or 4 with each meal.
TEN Mineral Water
Diamond Tree has found the perfect Ocean Stream and channeled it into the most beneficial nutritional water in the world. According to some clinical studies, mineral deficiency is believed to be the number one unidentified cause of body imbalance, disease, and failure to assimilate nutrients into the system. Many world experts in nutrition believe minerals to be the elements that are most essential to a healthy human system. Fourteen of them - such as magnesium, potassium, manganese, calcium and selenium - are essential for healthy bones, teeth, hair, nerves and skin…and an enhanced immune system.It's now a fact that the purest healthy water in the world comes from the "ancient saltwater springs" of the Geumjin Mountains of Korea. It's also a fact that Diamond Tree has been chosen "as the only company allowed" to bring the water from this miraculous nutritional "ancient saltwater" fountain to the world. The result has become something of a phenomenon – in the world of sports, in recovery and restoration and as a beverage whose final qualities have to be experienced to be believed.
What TEN is able to accomplish that no other water can...TEN is able to supersense the body's need for hydration and enhance its ability to absorb key minerals. Rather than dry and dehydrate the human body, it rehydrates it through super-saturation with essential minerals in a 100% natural bioavailable form. Derived from a deep underground source, TEN is a naturally balanced ionic water. So, it is able to create an Optimum 2:1 Calcium/Magnesium Ratio; the kind that the human system craves but is so seldom able to absorb. That helps make TEN into a super-antioxidant super solution that carries its own cellular intuition. So only TEN is able to help stabilize the metabolism and shed acidic toxic waste from the human system.
Who Should Take TEN...and why?TEN is a mineral water that's safe and beneficial for men, women and children of all ages. You may drink it on its own, as a mineral "booster" with other beverages, and even use it to enhance foods and entrees.
While you can find calcium in supplements, lots of foods and even orange juice, you would be hard pressed to find the magnesium your body needs. There are good reasons not to forget magnesium in your diet. Magnesium is just as important for building good bones as calcium is, and by some research, even more important. Magnesium is active in over 300 chemical reactions in the body. It is needed for a strong immune system, regulating blood sugar, promoting good sleep, and can reduce muscle cramps and spasms. Magnesium is vital for energy production, so the next time you feel tired and worn out, think about magnesium. There are things we do every day that steal magnesium away from us. Many drugs, including diuretics and antibiotics, take magnesium away from our bodies. Gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, IBS all can contribute to magnesium loss. Put this together with the fact that our soils are depleted of many minerals, including magnesium, and it is no wonder that we are not getting enough.
The problem with making sure we get enough magnesium is choosing one that is highly absorbable. The best absorbed types of magnesium are the kinds that are found in plant sources and those already dissolved in water. That is what makes Ten so unique. It provides a highly absorbable form of magnesium, along with calcium, that is exactly the way your body wants it – a balanced 2:1 ratio of Calcium to Magnesium. Add to these elements, others that are important to the body – germanium, selenium, potassium and other trace minerals, and you have one of the most precious gifts Diamond Tree has found from the Earth’s core … to you!
