Hydrogen-alkaline water - Where did this health concept come from?

jrodriguez@axxiomdata.com (Juan Rodriguez) — Tue, 23 Mar 2021 20:44:13 GMT

When this idea of drinking alkaline water first came to the U.S. over 20 years ago, many people thought that the water was healthier for you simply because it was higher alkaline than regular water. Lots of anecdotal evidence, but at the time there wasn’t much scientific research.

Originally brought to light through companies selling water ionizers, soon bottled water companies jumped on the bandwagon, figuring to get in on the action. But there is a big difference between freshly-made ionized alkaline water and bottled alkaline water.

After filtration, water ionizers use electrolysis to split the acidic portion of the source water from the alkaline portion. This process also splits some of the hydrogen atoms from the H20, creating an H2 molecular hydrogen gas dissolved in the alkaline water. This H2 was originally thought to be just a benign by-product, but now there are over 1,000 scientific studies and papers that show the H2 to be beneficial in over 170 human disease states, and good for virtually every organ of our body. CLICK HERE for a link to abstracts of over half the studies.

In ionization, more H2 is produced the longer the water is in contact with the charged platinum/titanium plates, and greater the electrical charge. So a machine that only has 3 plates at 8.5pH cannot give off as much H2 as a machine with 11 or 13 plates at 9.5 or 10pH. (BTW, you should not drink water above 10 pH).

The Joy of Contra Dancing

Great live music, energetic, friendly people of all ages, very social. What's not to like?

I've heard New England Contra Dancing described many ways. One of my favorites is “This is what would happen if square dancing and swing dancing had a baby.” Great for both couples and singles - the tradition is to dance with many different partners during the evening, even if you came with someone.

Contra dancing is really easy. Think of long lines of partners doing really simple square dance moves, but much faster and no petticoats, cowboy hats or bolo ties to be seen. And with GREAT live music! Cross-generational, too. I have been to dances where people from 6 years old to 80+ are all dancing together. One aspect of this type of dancing is that it’s not about fancy footwork. It’s pattern and structure. So it tends to attract some very smart people - engineers, mathematicians, JPL/Caltech folks, teachers and professors, medical professionals - people who are more comfortable with pattern and repetition than with improvisation.

There are lots of videos with contra dancing on YouTube. Some are unfortunately poor quality, video or audio-wise, or both. But here are two that are pretty good:

Everyone needs a digital media strategy, and not for the reasons you may expect. In fact, if you think digital strategies are just promotional, think again.
