Obesity linked to Severe Sleep Apnea

People who are overweight or obese are much more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition in which a person's breathing stops or becomes very shallow, sometimes several hundred times a night and sometimes for as long as a minute.


The soft palate in the back of mouth falls down and blocks the airway. The condition can lead to cardiovascular problems, including stroke, and can raise the risk for dying prematurely.


Any amount of weight loss brings about an improvement in sleep apnea. But those who lose about 10 percent of their original body weight see the greatest effect. "Any weight loss is good," says an expert.

Alkaline ionized water is a great weight loss tool. It neutralizes excess acidity that leads to a breaking up of stored fat in the body.

Waterways plagued with Ugly Smelly Blue-Green Algae

Human induced contamination in America's beautiful lakes and rivers is on the rise, this is especially true for the MidWest. This is due to the water runoff from farm fields. This water contains fertilizer and other chemicals.

Animals and humans run a health risk. Although it may not be a major life threatening risk for humans as yet but experts believe that it will eventually lead to significant human poisoning. It has definitely sickened many people already. Several dozen dogs have already died, local people living by the lakes have complained about a smelly blue-green algae that is killing wildlife like squirrels and fish.

Authorities have advised people living near such contaminated lakes to keep their windows shut and to avoid walks along the shorelines.

Skin Disease Receives Major Benefits with a Water Ionizer

One of our team members met this girl at a vitamin store. She approached the girl's mother to try to help her. She offered her child FREE water and to council her. The team member told them that if she would allow her to take pictures of the child and show the progression of her healthy skin, she would make sure she was the poster child for Chanson Water and get her a water ionizer.

The child had a severe case of Psoriasis, a type that is supposedly incurable and genetic in nature. Some days after making them the offer, our team member met with the mother and her child again. The pink spots visible on her skin in this photo were gone. She had been sparying 2.9 pH acidic water on her skin and drinking 9.5 pH alkaline water for less than a week and had started improving very well. Her doctor told her to bath in the water with Clorax to prevent the smell and the infection that takes place on her skin.

This was a classic example of how Chanson's water ionizers can help such poeple bring happiness back into their lives.

Where Bottled Water Comes From

EWG recently conducted an investigation into acertaining the sources of various bottled water brands. The results were shocking.

Nearly a third of the bottled water labels they examined, including leading bottled water brands such as Dasani Purified Water and Perrier Sparkling Natural Mineral Water, offered no information about the water’s source, generic or specific. Until recently, the major brand Aquafina also fell into this category. However, after extensive pressure from Corporate Accountability International and other consumer groups, Aquafina agreed to modify its labels to say that the water is sourced from unnamed public water supplies.

A third of the labels they inspected included partial or vague source locations, providing the consumer with little or no useful information. Aquamantra Natural Spring Water, as the name implies, sourced from a spring identified on the label as in zip code 92707. The labels of Voss Artesian Water and Meijer Natural Spring Water identify their water sources as "Vatnestrom, Norway" and "deep within Michigan’s countryside," respectively.

On the other end of the spectrum, public water utilities can provide remarkably specific and informative source data in just one to three sentences.

Community water systems are also required to notify consumers of any existing source water assessments and how to obtain them. These assessments pinpoint current and potential sources of pollution in the water source. In certain cases, systems are also required to provide a brief summary of the assessment in the Consumer Confidence Report.

So, there are stark differences in the way public water utilities and bottled water companies share necessary information with consumers.

Are Reusable Metal Water Bottles any better?

It is a known fact that plastic water bottles must never be reused. But before you rush to the market to buy just any reusable metal bottle you can get your hands on, ask yourself what guarantee do you have that it is absolutely safe?

Consumers have recently begun swiching massively to reusable metal water bottles to avoid bisphenol-A (BPA), a chemical that leaches into water contained in plastic water bottles and interferes with the female hormone estrogen. But the same metal bottles manufacturer that professed the dangers of BPA and encouraged consumers to switch to its brand of metal bottles has been found to be not entirely truthful about the safety of its bottles.

Some traces of BPA were found in the liners of its bottles.

Who then should the consumers trust?

Water- The lubricant of our body

Water is the lubricant of all moving parts. It is the regulator of body temperature. The body cells are "water-cooled!" Violent exercise continued for 26 minutes would generate enough heat to coagulate the albuminous substances in the body--similar to cooking the white of an egg-- unless this heat were promptly released. The cells are surrounded by water and thus are "water--cooled!"

Therefore, Hydration is key!

Alkaline Water hydrates and hydrates well. Infact it is upto six times more hydrating the normal tap or bottled water. This means increased and quicker absortption of nutrients by our cells.

Swine Flu Shot linked to Killer Nerve Disease

In a recent confidential letter, The UK Government has warned Senior Neurologists that the new swine flu vaccine may be linked with a deadly nerve disease.

This letter from the Health Protection Agency to the official body that oversees public health has been leaked to The Daily Mail. This has lead to protests why such information has not been made public before the vaccination to millions of poeple begins.

It tells the neurologists that they must be alert for an increase in a brain disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which could be triggered by the vaccine. GBS attacks the lining of the nerves, causing paralysis and inability to breathe, and can be fatal.
