CLUSTERED
WATER RESEARCH PUBLISHED IN THE NATIONAL

A
Clustered Water® research study on “Hydration
and Health” was recently published in the National
Library of Medicine. This 2003 international cooperative
research project, organized by the Chinese Health
Care Science and Technology Society, compared distilled
water and the US patented Clustered Water®.
The
double-blind study concluded that the amount of water
inside of the cell improved by more than 13.4 times
more than patients drinking distilled water. The relative
small size of the water cluster may be one of the
mechanisms that lead to improved cell structure and
function. Included in the study were bioelectrical
impedance analysis that showed that diabetics had
a lower ratio of intracellular water and extracellular
water.
In
the study, a total 336 type-2 diabetics from five
hospitals were recruited in a randomized, double-blind
trial. All the subjects received 250 ml of Clusterd
Water or distilled twice daily for 4 weeks. Bioelectrical
impedance analysis and other clinical markers were
performed weekly. It was observed that Clustered Water
consumption improved cell water distribution, basal
metabolism rate phase angle and cell capacitance during
the 4-week testing period.
Research
team Chairman Dr. Zhi Y.Wang recently presented this
study to the International Congress of Clinical Nutrition
in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
The
National Library of Medicine (NLM), on the campus
of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda,
Maryland, is the world's largest medical library.
The Library collects materials and provides information
and research services in all areas of biomedicine
and health care.

Microclustered
water and hydration.
A total 336 type-2 diabetics (plasma glucose level
=7.0 mmol/L) from five hospitals were recruited in
a randomized, double-blind trial. All the subjects
received 250 ml of MW or DW twice daily for 4 weeks.
To avoid over-dose absorption, subjects were advised
to not take medications within 30 minutes after consumption
of the test waters. BIA (RJL, USA) and other clinical
markers were performed weekly. It was observed that
MW consumption improved cell water distribution (ICW/ECW),
basal metabolism rate (BMR), phase angle (PA) and
cell capacitance (CP) during the 4 week testing period.
In comparison with the rate change from baseline,
the P value (MW vs DW) of ICW/ECW, BMR, PA and CP
were 0.04, 0.003, 0.005 and 0.003, respectively. In
this study, about 45% of subjects had higher plasma
glucose level >8.3 mmol/L). In comparison with
the means of above four BIA measurements at the end
of experiment, the P value (MW vs DW) were 0.025,
0.022, 0.007 and 0.009, respectively. Two repeating
NMR analysis showed that the half-width of the oxygen
(17) NMR spectrum were 64 and 67HZ, respectively,
approximating normal saline, plasma and fresh natural
spring water, while NMR values of DW and most purified
waters exceeded 100 HZ.
The relative small size of the water cluster may be
one of the mechanisms which lead to improve cell structure
and function.
