Question (4): Does the diameter of water effect our bodies’ hydration?
Dr. Young: Most definitely. The diameter of the liquid or water must be no greater than 6 molecules and preferably 1 molecule in order to hydrate the cells of your body.
Question (5): Is chlorine something we should have in our drinking water?
Dr. Young: Chlorine should not be in our water. It is not an energizing agent because it does not break down water clustering. All of the chlorine water tested shows a positive charge and would therefore pull energy from your body.
Question (6): For optimal health, what percentage of water should an adult’s body be?
Dr. Young: When we were born, we were 90% water. When we’re dead, we’re approximately 50% water. And somewhere between birth and death, we become dehydrated- we’ve accepted as normal somewhere around 70%. So anything above 70% would be ideal, moving more towards 90%. I think that’s what makes babies to supple. You know, you touch their skin and it’s soft, it’s pliable, it’s supple. This is because the skin is hydrated. And we lose that over time from dehydration.
Question (7): Back on the water–with an adult, such as a person in their 40’s and 50’s, when their water percentage drops below that 70% content to 60% or even 50% content, what are some of the negative things that could occur to the body?
Dr. Young: When someone becomes dehydrated, besides the feeling that they’re constantly thirsty, the skin becomes dry and the bowels become constipated. The skin is not supple–it becomes dry. And a lot of the skin challenges that we see is because of that. The dryness and the coarseness of the skin, is affected. Not only is the outside of the body affected but the inside is also affected from the lack of alkaline water. This is what can happen within the body. All of the cells of the body that make all tissues and organs need water for staying healthy. Water, next to salt is one of the most important buffers of dietary and metabolic acid. When you do not have sufficient water, you cannot buffer the acids from diet and/or metabolism. Also, you cannot remove the dietary and/or metabolic acids through the four channels of elimination. Realizing that all metabolism or the production of energy or the utilization of energy or the consumption of energy produces acids that need to be buffered with electron-rich alkaline water. And, without electron-rich alkaline water, you cannot eliminate the biological waste products that are being created on a moment-by-moment basis. So, it is very important that exchange of electron-rich alkaline water takes place, and if it does not, this is when you will see internal pollution buildup and the beginning of latent tissue acidosis that leads to ALL sickness and dis-ease.
