How to Choose the Right Water Ionizer

For decades, water ionizers have been used in Asia to help treat conditions including arthritis, weight problems, cancer, inflammation, digestive issues, skin disorders, acid reflux, allergies, fatigue, gout, and even chronic pain. Alkaline water works by restoring the body’s natural pH balance, acting as a potent antioxidant and stimulating cellular hydration and detoxification. Achieving these health benefits is as easy as choosing the right water ionizer to suit your needs – and then drinking water!

You can obtain a water report from your municipality, or if you have well water, you can have your local health department to have your water analyzed. Tap water is generally preferred for ionization, since the acidity and pollutants of some well water can make the process more difficult. However, it is possible, and knowing the current state of your water can give you a better idea of what kind of ionizer to purchase.

Two popular types of water ionizers are made by AlkaViva and Yi-Shan, and both products are on the cutting edge of water ionizing technology.

Alka-Viva Water Ionizers

AlkaViva's H2 Water Ionizers

AlkaViva’s H2
Water Ionizers
URparamount.com
has the lowest prices!

The AlkaViva Vesta H2, Athena H2 and Melody II water ionizers feature  the latest in technological advances with impressive filtration capabilities, using a duel filtration system with a power-boost that helps regulate a consistent pH output.

AlkaViva’s Ultra-Water filter is the BEST on the market, even removing pharmaceutical drugs. The AlkaViva line uses 2 filters, one a pre-filter and the other the ULTRA-filter. In the future AlkaViva expects to include a fluoride filter with the ULTRA-filter.

These models automatically clean themselves during operation, switching polarity with each use, while ionizing. You never have to wait to use the water. It’s a brilliant solution to electrode maintenance. There is a flow control knob eliminating the need to manually adjust the faucet. Not only does this ionizer increase the pH of your water to a high pH with increased oxygen and hydrogen, it also removes the majority of the other impurities in your water – including pharmaceutical drugs and heavy metals.

The AlkaViva line comes in 5, 7 and 9 plate water ionizers:
Melody II (5 electrodes)
Athena H2 (7 electrodes)
Vesta H2 (9 electrodes)

Easy to install (click here for installation video)

Under Sink Conversion Kit is available (click here for Installation video)

Yi-Shan Water Ionizers

www.URparamount.com for best prices!

Yi-Shan makes
great water ionizers!

Yi-Shan’s Water Ionizer line has the advantage of having the lowest priced ionizer on the market, but still offers great value for the investment. Using three large electrodes, the lowest priced ionizer produces alkaline water with a very high pH, usually 9.5, sometimes even a 10 pH.  It’s a great choice for an economical “no frills” water ionizer if you have municipal water. It might work with well water, but well water is a “wild-card” and may require more ionization power.

The YiShan models reduce electrode mineralization by fully draining the electrode chamber between each use, and running a cleaning cycle approximately twice a day. During this cycle you let it clean and do not use the water. It comes in 3, 5 and 7 ionizer plate models.

The Yi-Shan replacement filters are now ECO-conscious in that after you purchase the first one, the replacements are simply 2 cartridges that fit in the reusable filter housing, eliminating throwing away the plastic filter holder. These are great filters. Click here to learn more about YiShan filters.

Things to Remember:

The majority of ionizers use between three to seven platinum-dipped titanium electrode plates. Generally, you can assume that the more surface area the water flows over, the stronger the ionization. Only buy an ionizer with platinum-dipped titanium electrodes, which all of ours have, and we only carry solid electrode plates for longevity. More electrodes generally mean the ionizer will have a longer life-span, but it is dependent on family size, usage and care.

High-alkaline water produced by an ionizer with three to seven electrodes will produce water within the drinkable range of 9.5 to 10, but some of the models containing seven to nine electrodes can produce water with a pH of 11 or higher, which is not recommended for drinking. Super high pH water (over 10 pH) can be used as a disinfectant cleaning solution. The pH range for drinking water should generally be between 7.5 and 10 pH. Your skin and hair usually show a pH balance of 5.5, and a low acidic pH of 2-4 can be used as a disinfectant for cleaning or wound healing. Many house plants prefer a slightly acidic pH.

Most ionizers on the market will show an “ORP Range,” which gives the consumer an idea of the model’s Oxidation Reduction Potential. This refers to the negative charge the resulting alkaline water will show. The negative charge means negative ions, and they scavenge up the positive ions that we know as free radicals in our body. Tap water is usually at +250 to +350, and a good ionizer will be able to reduce that millivoltage charge to -350 or lower. Keep in mind that this charge will depend on the related charge and mineral composition of the source water. The negative ions are the most important feature of ionized water and are usually equated with an alkaline pH. *

Ionizers can usually be installed a number of ways. Frequently, these systems are installed at the sink with a diverter from the faucet, easily attached directly to your kitchen faucet’s aerator with hoses attaching to the ionizer that sits on the counter. Or, using a Water Ionizer Conversion Kit, the ionizer installs under the sink, out of sight in the cabinet, with a small dedicated double faucet for both the alkaline and acidic waters.

When shopping for a water ionizer, look for the warranty. Ionizers are expected to last at least ten years, with an average longevity of closer to 15-20 years. This, of course, assumes the system is being routinely cared for, with filters changed as needed and with an annual deep cleaning. Most ionizers offer at least a three year warranty – if it doesn’t, it’s probably not a solid investment. Ours have 3 year, 5 year or lifetime warranties. Avoid water ionizers from China as it’s crucial that you can buy filters for many years – and we get calls all the time from folks looking for obscure water ionizer filters. Our two brands, Alka-Viva and YiShan, are made in Taiwan and Korea respectively, and have each been in business for a long, long time. They were some of the first companies selling ionizers. They are both high-quality brands you can trust. And we’ve been selling water ionizers for over 12 years!

Other things to think about are design, easy of cleaning, and the size of your household to help you determine what size ionizer you will need. Once you’ve figured out which is the best ionizer for you (feel free to email us) and get it hooked up you’ll see how alkaline water can help improve your health and well-being.

* NOTE ABOUT THE NEGATIVE CHARGE: AlkaViva H2 Series ionizers, with the newest, cutting-edge proprietary hydrogen technology, produce MORE negatively charged hydrogen at a given pH level than other ionizers on the market. These state-of-the-art ionizers give you more bang for your buck, in that they provide you with more negative ions to counter the positive ions, known as disease causing free radicals. Powerful antioxidant tool for your health arsenal!

Dad’s doing GREAT with his Rife 101! Stage IV Mantle Cell Lymphoma!

Testimonial reported by Wayne O., AL 9-3-14:

Late fall in 2011, dad was diagnosed with Stage IV Mantle Cell Lymphoma. MCL is very rare, and, there’s no cure. Now, with his Rife 101, he’s a walking miracle and the doctors can’t believe it.

Mom had survived colon cancer and had 12 inches of her colon removed (they got it all). She begged dad to get checked even though he’d had a clean colonoscopy two years before. They found the MCL. There were thousands of MCL stalactites in his colon. It also was in his chest and groin, not just his colon.

Low Price Water Ionizers!

Venus Water Ionizer

First thing we did was get dad a water ionizer and a juicer. We knew the immune system had to be strengthened so the body could heal.  We got him to quit the sugar and bad foods – you don’t want to feed the cancer. We got him a juicing machine and had him eat a lot of raw foods. 

We researched and researched and found the Rife 101 machine, but it was a lot of money. Of course we couldn’t put a price on dad’s life, so we asked the good Lord to give us a sign. We were doing daily devotions and came to Proverbs 8:12 that read:

“I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.” 

Yup. That was the sign we needed to move ahead and order the Rife 101 from Tina and URparamount. We had faith this was the right move.

Dad started strong chemo once every 3 weeks for 18 treatments, 6-7 hours at a time, and, he started the Rife frequency machine.

Rife 101 comes complete!

Rife Model 101 System

Dad was running the Rife 101 CANCER Program followed by the DETOX Program every day, 2-3 times a day. He had the Rife 101 on all the time. He’d have the sticky pad electrodes on his stomach and sometimes on the palms of his hands. After he’d have a chemo treatment, he’d only do the DETOX Program for a few days. He rarely had any sickness or pain at all from the chemo – much less than anyone else. He did lose most of his hair but still had some sprigs on top. And he had a bit of discomfort and cramps, but no nausea or vomiting.

Dad got a clean bill of health in February 2012, stopped using the Rife 101 machine, and was clear for a year and a half.  Late in 2013 dad had a routine PET scan and they found a little something in the groin area again. He started the Rife frequency treatments right away and his numbers improved immediately. The doctors wanted him to enter an MCL clinical trial for an unapproved drug, Imbruvica, and since a pharmaceutical company was paying for it all, he did.

Again, the doctors couldn’t believe how well dad was doing (he didn’t tell them about the Rife machine) and said, “Whatever you’re doing keep doing it.”

Dad had a PET scan again in June (2014) and the cancer was almost all gone. His weight is back up and he’s stronger. Dad played ball until he was 68, and never had pains or any trouble at all (he’s 77). Now he’s doing great again!

We have nurses in the family, and they were a little skeptical about the machine, but the proverb gave them the faith that everything would be alright in the end. The scripture sold it in my heart – we attribute his healing to the Lord, who led us to trust the Rife 101 technology – the “witty invention”. 

It’s important for people to understand that the ProWave Model 101 can be used along with what the doctors are doing. It’ll help you get through the treatments, and seemed to make dad’s unlikely recovery possible.

You know it’s something extraordinary when the doctors are surprised and say “Keep doing it!” Of course water and juicing is so important – even the cancer treatment workers  knew about juicing and THEY were juicing too!

Dad uses his ProWave 101 for other things too, like colds, flu, fungus in his mouth, all kinds of things that come along. Now he’s healthier than all of us! It’s hard for the doctors to believe he’s 77! Of course I told him not to tell them about the Rife. As long as he is using that Rife machine he’s so healthy!

Love Lemons! My Lemon Limerick & Latest Luxury!

Lemon juice in water – sliced lemons in water – iced herbal tea with lemon – or warm water first thing in the morning with lemon? ALL good! Very alkalizing – fights Acidosis! Keep reading for my LEMON LIMERICK and my latest little-known lemon luxury!

According to  TheAlternativeDaily.com:

“The health promoting benefits of lemons are powerful. For centuries, it has been known that lemons contain powerful antibacterial, antiviral and immune boosting components. We know that lemons are a great digestive aid and liver cleanser.  Lemons contain citric acid, magnesium, bioflavonoids, vitamin C, pectin, calcium and limonene, which supercharge our immunity so that the body can fight infection.

Lemons are considered one of the most alkalizing foods you can eat. This may seem untrue as they are acidic on their own. However, in the body, lemons are alkaline; the citric acid does not create acidity once it has been metabolized. The minerals in lemons are actually what helps to alkalize the blood.  Most people are too acidic (from eating too much sugar, grains, animal products), and drinking warm lemon water helps reduce overall acidity, drawing uric acid from the joints. This reduces the pain and inflammation which many people feel. And the American Cancer Society recommends warm lemon water to encourage regular bowel movements.”

Benefits that you can enjoy from eating lemons:

1. Improves your digestion:

Lemon juice helps your body improve digestion and stimulates bile production. Lemon juice can even be an aid for heartburn and indigestion.

2. Boosts your energy for the day:

Even just the scent of lemon juice has been shown to improve your mood and energy levels, and reduce anxiety.  Plus the detoxifying effect and alkalizing effect of fresh organic lemon juice can improve your energy through the removal of toxins from your body.

3. Helps you to lose fat:

Since lemon juice helps to improve your digestive system, aids in removal of toxins, and increases your energy levels, this all combines together to help you to lose body fat as well through improving your hormonal balance… Yet another reason to add warm lemon water to your daily morning routine!

That was from TheAlternativeDaily.com

This is from me –

I’ve been “zesting” lemons for quite some time now (I use organic lemons). Before squeezing them to get out the lemon juice I’d use a fine grater and zest off the yellow for the potently healthy limonene in the skin. All good. Heard about freezing the whole lemon then grating it to use the pith (white pulp) and the seeds, as there’s B17 (laetrile) in them thar seeds (just like the familiar Grapefruit Seed Extract that is a natural anti-biotic/viral/fungal/parasite). I liked that idea – so I froze two lemons. Two months later, there they were, in my freezer untouched. Hmmmm…..

In the hundreds of things I read each week, somewhere I came across the concept of pureed lemon. Yup, the whole thing. Peel, pith, pits and pulp! Loved the idea, mostly because it’s easy and no waste! Washed the lemons, trimmed off the little ends, cut in a few pieces, pureed in my Blendtec high-speed blender (like the Vitamix but less expensive). I may have added a bit of high-alkaline ionized water to get it started – I really can’t remember. Pureed them all!! Poured the puree into a couple of widemouth jars and set them in the fridge.

The pectin in the pith is particularly beneficial not just for digestion but to absorb toxins in your digestive tract and colon – this is always a good thing, whether or not you’re plagued with problems. I like a good thing when I see it…

Well, well, well… next day I was thrilled and delighted (I’m pretty easy to please)! The lemon puree was fairly solidified, like a jelly is solidified – because, of course, from the pectin!!! So, basically, I made a pectin that could subsequently be blended with other fruits to make a jam! I promptly defrosted some fresh local ripe mango and pureed it with some solidified lemon pectin to try this out, and poured THAT into a few small jars! Mmmmm – not bad at all!! A bit of a bitter edge from the bitter pith and seeds, but I’m pretty hardcore when it comes to health (some of you know that about me already) and I don’t mind it – you could sweeten it more with honey if you like.

So, back to lemon in the morning – I’ve been making a morning green drink – either with fresh veggies and green powders or just green powders – and adding a good tablespoon of this lemon pectin – for me, the green drinks are plenty sweet to counter the bitter pith and seeds and the strong taste of lemon is delicious!

So I wrote a Lemon Limerick for you!

There were 8 lemons with zest –
I washed and cut up to ingest –
Set the blender on fine,
Pureed to a grind,
Lemon pectin drinks are the best!

Enjoy your lemons!

My Rife 101 Prevention Protocol of Programs

Folks ask me all the time if I use the ProWave Rife 101 Machine and what I use it for. Of course I use this bioactive frequency generator – or I wouldn’t be selling it! All the products I carry I have used and found useful for improving and maintaining my health and the Rife 101 is part of my “system”.

Tina Rappaport feeling good!

Life is good!

The first time I used it was in 2007 after a long plane flight. I’m a very small person (barely 5 feet tall, 100 lbs) and the airline seats are all wrong – the lumbar is in the wrong place, the head rest too! I am often in trouble after a flight no matter how I sit or what cushions I use, as my joints are very precariously balanced (see MY STORY for the full details). I ended up with a terrible hard-as-a-rock elongated knot in the top of my back near the right shoulder where it seems I have scar tissue in the muscles from the joint trouble in my younger years. This spot had been my nemesis for a long time. I was contemplating taking a muscle relaxer (and being loopy from it) when I tried the Rife 101 on the Joint Pain program. One hour later it was 90% better! No drugs. I was sold.

Understanding that I don’t have a chronic illness, I’ve used the Rife 101 for various things that cropped up – warded off colds after feeling the first sniffle, eliminated pain with the Bone Trauma program, controlled my joint pain and improved the circulation in my legs tremendously. But the most dramatic has been the improvement in my Adrenal Glands. When first tested, my Adrenal Glands were hardly functioning due to stress and my naturopath doctor suggested supplements. Life threw me a bunch of curves, one after the other, and I just couldn’t add in the Adrenal supplement regimen very well. After developing a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) my doc told me I’d better get serious because the UTI was NOT from NOT drinking enough water, but rather she felt it was a warning that my immune system was shot from Adrenal Exhaustion. In time I got a bit better (just a bit) with the supplements, taking them at least twice a week (supposed to take them twice a day!), but I did start using the Rife 101 on the Adrenal Stimulant program. For about 6 months I did it at least twice a day, and sometimes I also ran the Glands program (it covers them all and they are all inter-related anyway).

When my Adrenals were re-tested I knew it was the Rife 101 working it’s magic when the doc told me, “Your Adrenals are better than mine now!”

Understanding I have life-long, chronic joint issues (mostly under control now – read more in MY STORY) here is the list of Rife 101 programs I try to run weekly as health maintenance, prevention and to ward off anything brewing. Is it working? If I don’t develop any issues, and I have no cholesterol, sugar or other “chronic” disease issues, you tell me!

Tina’s Rife 101 Prevention Protocol of Programs:

Tina Rappaport with Rife 101

Portable and Light Rife 101

  • Pain
  • Inflammation
  •  Acidosis
  • Fungal Infection and/or Candida
  • Infections, General (long, profound & powerful program)
  • Cancer
  • Glands
  • Parasites
  • Liver Problems
  • Kidney Insufficiency
  • Lymph Problems
  • Detoxification
  • Schumann Wave (average resonancy of the earth, and us)

Running these programs on a weekly basis keeps me running in tip top shape, like the energizer bunny! If you are a Rife 101 user, check page 19 of your manual for “Advanced Custom Programming” and learn how to group together the frequencies uses in each of the above programs. In this was you can make it much easier to run the list you want and even learn how to set it up to run all night! You can always email me for help!

Himalayan Crystal Salt Solé (so-lay)

urparamount-sole1Salt is as essential as water. We could not survive without water or salt. All the properties of salt that relate to our body are closely connected to water, because the crucial properties of salt, biochemically as well as biophysically, only exist in combination with water, and remember, we are mostly water – 70%!

This is very special salt.  This pink Himalayan Crystal Salt is hand-mined 5,000 feet under the earth from deposits of salt that are 250 million years old. The salt was crystallized over the millennia due to the immense pressure.  This crystallization captured the energy needed to dehydrate the primordial sea and it is this measurable energy that is released from the salt when it is dissolved in water.  The same way we know there is energy inherent in Quartz Crystals, there is energy in this pressurized crystal salt.  This energy frequency matches the frequency in our healthy body, so it helps to “re-tune” and energize if the frequency is deficient.

The mixture of water and crystal salt, called “Solé” (so-lay) is the most flexible physical representation of pure solar and light energy. The word solé, is derived from the Latin word “sol”, which means sun. Solé is nothing but the fluid materialization of sunlight. Solé means fluid sunlight or fluid light energy. In water, the salt crystals release 84 minerals which are in almost the exact ratio  as the 84 minerals in our bodies since we supposedly came from this ancient primordial sea.  The minerals are also in their ionized form, which is the form our bodies recognize and can use, much as the ionized minerals in foods and ionized water.  In addition, this salt is qualitatively different than other sea salt, even pink sea salt, which is gathered at or near the earth’s surface and is not “crystalline” in structure. While these salts do have extraordinary mineral content, it does not always match our bodies’ profile, nor are these minerals in ionized form which means they are too coarse for absorption.

To make and use Solé , you put the Himalayan Crystal Salt “rocks”  in a small glass jar or cup  and cover it with good quality water* (see note at end). If the rock does not totally dissolve, then you have the 26% solé solution, meaning the water cannot hold any more salt.  This solé is anti-bacterial, so you do not need to keep it in the refrigerator, and it will not go bad.  Use one teaspoon (not a metal spoon – use wood, porcelain or glass) first thing in the morning followed by at least 16 ounces of water to jump-start your day and “tune” your frequency.  This solé, salt water brine, is unquestionably the energy matrix in which life begins, develops and subsists. Remember, our blood, sweat, tears and lymph are all salty!

As you use up the water, simply re-fill your jar and the rock will give up more of its salt to the solution.  Replace the rock when all that’s left are pinkish specs, which are minerals that are too coarse to be of use.  BEWARE there are many brands of “pink salt” being sold as Himalayan Crystal Salt, but not all are – some are just “pink” salt from other places, some are actually “rock salt” from near the surface or from inferior mines. The salt we sell is certified to be the exact salt that has been extensively researched and documented to contain these life giving properties.

The human body needs only as little as .2g of salt per day. Rather, we tend to use too much salt than too little. As opposed to refined table salt, you can use Himalayan crystal salt more freely because of its holistic properties which make it easy for the body to assimilate. With the recommended one teaspoon of Himalayan crystal salt solé every morning, you are not only receiving the biophysical aspect of the salt, which is the frequency pattern of the crystal salt, but also the biochemical aspect of the salt, containing sufficient minerals and trace elements. The body will hold the frequency pattern of the crystal salt solé for 24 hours. Therefore, we only take the solé once per day on an empty stomach. Plus, the solé can neutralize your body’s acid alkaline balance, normalize blood pressure and dissolve toxins. Patients on Dialysis, or with high blood pressure, should generally use very little salt and follow the advice of their doctor.

People actually go down into these mines for the benefits of absorbing the unique energy, and ailments are cured.  Different grinds of salt are available:  rock crystals, pebbles or fine table salt, as well as bath crystals and salt inhalers for lung issues.

*The best water to use for Solé is high pH ionized water (from a water ionizer), next best would be filtered tap water, then good quality bottled water such as Fiji, Zephyrhills, Whole Foods 365, Deer Park or supermarket “Spring” water.  Do NOT use Dannon Spring water, Poland Springs, Smart Water, Vitamin Water, Dasani or Aquafina – these are acidic waters and detrimental to your health.

portable-rife-machine-smOne last comment. Good salt has been found to help the electrical frequencies open up when using a Rife machine, as the frequency generator, also known as a Rife machine, matches the frequencies of diseased cells and pathogens to cause them to implode and has many built-in frequencies that help open your body’s electrical meridians. As we know we are an electrical body, running on water and salt, so it is good to use some salt (Himalayan Crystal Salt, of course) before a Rife treatment, and, certainly to drink lots of water before and after this detoxifying treatment. Learn more about Rife machines and their creator, Dr. Raymond Royal Rife.
