Our family takes greens everyday!  Luckily for me, I was educated on the benefits of good greens by my best friend’s mom.  Now that we live in South Dakota, it’s much harder to get fresh vegetables,  (I sure miss Tri-Valley Growers in Santa Barbara!!!) so supplementing with a good greens product is a high priority for us.

Check out the site, the concept, and the greens….

To your health!

My mom has REALLY bad rheumatoid arthritis.  Especially in her hands.  It was getting to a scary point where her small hands were swollen up larger than man hands and she could barely use her hands without extreme pain.  Doctors told her the same thing all doctors say…you can’t do anything about it.  Take these prescriptions, blah, blah, blah…

I told my mom about all the great benefits we were getting with Kangen Water and one day she called me and said, “I am tired of feeling how I feel.  I want to buy one of your water machines.  If it works for so many other people and it’s doing such wonderful things for you, it should work for me too”  Well…I know my Mom doesn’t have an unlimited supply of money laying around (just like everyone else), so we planned a trip to go visit her and bring our Kangen Water machine.

She filled up on Kangen Water (drinking a few gallons the first day) and soaked her hands in the 11.5pH Strong Kangen Water.  Her swelling on her hands went down, but we were not sure it was the water or her being off work for the last few days.  Too soon to tell at that point.  Mom went through some major detox symptoms over the next few days (headache and nausea) but she was a trooper and believed in the healing power and she kept drinking water.  After 3 days,  her detox symptoms subsided and her swelling was down quite a bit.  She decided she could “feel” it working and bought her own machine.

I am so proud of Mom! She has committed to drinking this miraculous water and in the few months she has been drinking Kangen Water, she has not had ONE episode of arthritis.  Her hand swelling is completely gone.  Her knuckles are still enlarged where the bone has calcified.  Hopefully over time this improves…we will keep you posted.

She called me last week and said she is so thankful that I introduced her to Kangen Water!  She bought a pair of Sketchers Shape Ups and is back to walking everyday!  A few months ago, she barely had the energy to get through her work day.  Her doctor is so impressed with her dramatic changes, that he is asking her for more information about Kangen Water.  Just like everyone else who experiences Kangen Water, she is sharing her story with everyone she knows.  She is sharing her water with friends and now has my brother convinced that he and his girlfriend (who has asthma, fibromyalgia and allergies) need a Kangen Water machine too.  It figures he would listen to Mom and not his big sister   I can’t wait for them to make the decision to get a machine so they can begin to feel the miraculous healing that Kangen Water provides.

I will keep you posted on Mom’s progress…it’s only been a couple of months.  I can’t wait to see her progress 6 months from now.

It’s true…”change your water, change your life”…my mom is living testament to that.
Thanks Enagic and Tom and Jeanne!

I have seen in many videos about Kangen Water that vegetables taste better when washed with Strong Kangen and I can say our family is in complete agreement.  The kids are loving to eat raw vegetables more than ever!  It’s very cool to tell them they are “treats” and they are buying into it

Well, today I noticed that chocolate cookies tasted so good and chocolaty that I gave a few to Andrew to see if he felt the same way.  He immediately said, “try the chocolate chips, I noticed the same thing yesterday.”  So…I did and they tasted better than they ever have!

Not only are we feeling better, looking better, but I am enjoying food more than ever — AND still losing weight.

Have I told you I love Kangen Water today?

The have already taught us that our waters are sacred, the Lakota tribe prays to the healing waters.  They are water people who came from the water and stars.

We shared our Kangen water with them and know it is going to help their many health challenges!  Their people were removed from this wonderful healing water.  We were told their tribe has many sicknesses, especially diabetes.

This is going to be an incredible journey as we teach them about Kangen water and they teach us about Lakota history.

It’s tradition in their culture that when you give an Indian water, they give you tobacco.  We were told to go break the tobacco over the water on our hot brook to spread health and wellness to the little people who live with the water.

On a side note, our neighbor who has drunk our well water his whole life (7.5pH), lived to be 102.5 and had no health challenges and passed away peacefully two weeks ago.  We are fortunate to live on a property that has water with many of the same properties as Kangen water!

We love hosting people and sharing this incredible property with others and now we also get to teach them how they can get this incredible healing water from a Kangen Water machine in the comfort of their own home!

More info about our mineral spring/history:

The mineral baths in Hot Springs were sought as a cure-all for a multitude of illnesses.

“They (the springs) were the resort of the Indians long before the white man found his way into the jealously guarded realms of the Black Hills, and were considered by the red man as a panacea for all ills. This water has been found useful in the treatment of chronic diseases of the gastro-intestinal tract, diseases of the liver and biliary passages, and in rheumatism and arthritic joint disturbances, gout, and others.” quote from Mineral Water in the United States by Dr. W.E. Fitch.

Centuries ago, the Sioux roamed the Paha Sapa or Black Hills. Legends have grown around the now famous vacation land of America in the State of South Dakota, and to this day the legends are still told.The wind cave, where Wind Cave National Park is located, was a sacred cave where the buffalo lady dwelt. At first the Sioux feared the cave because they thought a giant lived in it. they thought that the wind which blew in and out of the mouth of the cave was caused by a giant breathing. This giant invoked the providence of the Great Spirit to give him knowledge of the mysterious hidden powers of Mother Nature that lurked in the cave the Indians feared.

One day, a medicine man stood at the mouth of the cave pondering, and suddenly, a vision appeared to him. A young Indian maiden told him she was the immortal buffalo lady from below the earth.

The buffalo lady told the medicine man to tell his people that the cave was one of the sacred places of the Paha Sapa. She said, “Tell your people to come to this cave and offer gifts and toke ns by dropping them into the sacred cave. By your offerings the Great Spirit will provide your temporal wants by providing great herds of buffalo for your livelihood.”

The Sioux Indians also knew of the hot springs and called it “Spring of Healing Waters.” Here the Indians came to swim in the springs and to rub the mud over their bodies. They claimed it had curative powers.

When the white man first came to the Paha Sapa, the spring of healing waters was kept a well-guarded secret by the Sioux Indians until a reckless warrior told a white man. The warrior was promised a nice gray horse if he would lead the white man to the springs. After the warrior had taken the white man and showed him the healing waters, he took the gray horse back to the Indian camp. That night a thunder storm came up. The gray horse was struck by lightning and killed.

This is a legend of Wind Cave and the Hot Springs, both located in the Paha Sapa or Black Hills.

Tzoid’s foggy eyes are clearing even more! Last night she too found one of Abby’s hair ties on the floor and played with it like we hear Kahlua doing every night

They love the water! They are drinking considerably more water every day now that we are giving them Kangen water. It’s great to watch the very dramatic visible changes to their  health.

Thank you Tom More and Jeanne Basso for introducing Enagic and Kangen Water to my family.  We love you both!  I am so grateful that I can make this wonderful Kangen Water straight from my tap in my own house.  I truly believe, as well as you, do that Kangen Water is THE best insurance policy I can buy to protect my family from sickness and disease.  I am going to do everything I can in my power to ensure my family is not dependent on a medical system that seems to fail American’s time and time again

I am so very thankful that my family does not have a horrible disease that places us at the mercy of pharmaceuticals.  It’s pretty scary when good doctors are even saying they don’t know what drugs to prescribe because they are unsure of the accuracy/source of reports.

There is so much information out there to prove lifestyle changes and nutrition changes can rid your body of horrible disease. A person just needs the desire to learn and take action.  Changing your water is the easiest change to make!  As Dr. Carpenter says, “Change your water, change your life!” and that is exactly what we are doing!  It feels great to take a preventative approach on our health that is soooo easy to follow — “Drink more great tasting Kangen Water and watch the changes occur!”

From Stu Sweeney:

“For more than two years now I have been traveling all over the United States and giving presentations on the health benefits of Kangen water to doctors and their staffs and patients, and to churches, schools, retirement communities, assisted living centers, at hotels, restaurants, health clubs, and in private homes.  I also have been a featured speaker at the Los Angeles Fitness Expo ( with more than 25,000 attendees the largest in the U.S.), the Madison, Wi. Health Expo and have had a booth at the Long Beach, Ca. Health Freedom Expo and will be doing my sixth guest interview on Monday morning at 10:00 A.M. with WIBA radio in Madison, Wisconsin.  As you know I have a strong belief in and a passion for natural health and the health benefits of drinking Kangen water.  In the last two years I have seen so many amazing recoveries and improvements with so many different health challenges that I am just amazed.  Even though I understand how Kangen water is able to assist the body in reaching the balance it needs to promote healing and have heard from so many people how it has helped them I still never get tired of sharing the information and still find it so rewarding to be able to share this information with others.  I feel blessed to have the opportunity to make my living by sharing something that I believe in so deeply and something that is helping so many people in so many ways.  I want to share a few “new stories” that I have experienced with Kangen water since the last time I spoke with most of you.
In October I traveled to Hillsdale, Michigan to visit my Aunt Bea and Uncle Lester and cousin’s Mike and Jim.  I was concerned with their health as Aunt Bea is 88 I think and has a heart condition and Uncle Lester is about 80 and has COPD/Emphysema and is on oxygen much of the time.  He worked as an exterminator in pest control  for many years and the toxic poisons he was exposed to have damaged his lungs permanently.  Last winter alone he had pneumonia 11 different times!!  I knew that drinking Kangen water would be beneficial to them so I spent a very enjoyable weekend with them and spent almost all of the time sharing information on the health benefits of Kangen water.  I knew that if I wasn’t able to convince them to drink Kangen water that at their age and with their health challenges we could lose them at any time.  Fortunately, they believed in me and bought the SD501 and began drinking Kangen water (and disconnected and stopped drinking the reverse osmosis system they had been drinking from).  Last month I talked with both of them and am happy to say that after having had pneumonia 11 times last winter and since starting on Kangen water in late October, Uncle Lester has not had a single case of pneumonia this winter!  What’s even more amazing is that after being on oxygen for years and tiring so easily due to the lack of oxygen to his heart, he now has so much more energy that after two months on Kangen water HE TOOK UP JOGGING!!  He told me that he goes to the indoor track at Hillsdale College and runs a quarter mile and then goes and works out on the stair climber machine!  I asked him if this was unusual or had he been in good shape all along.  He said it was all new and that last year when his cardiologist had him run on a treadmill he was so weak that he passed out while on the treadmill.  Now he runs a quarter of a mile daily and then gets on the stair climber at 80 years old with a deadly lung condition.  Think about that for a minute.  He also has been sharing his Kangen water with a young girl who used to play on the girls basketball team at Hillsdale College.  Two years ago she came down with intestinal cancer and has been fighting it ever since and was unable to continue playing basketball these past two years.  Now after a couple of months on Kangen water she has regained so much strength and energy that she is BACK PLAYING ON THE COLLEGE BASKETBALL TEAM  in spite of her cancer!
My youngest sister, Sara has been drinking Kangen water for about 16 months now and is actively telling others about it as well.  Last May she told me of a six year old boy named Carter who lives in her town of Huntley, Illinois who has an inoperable cancerous brain tumor.  Through a friend of the boy’s family Sara and I have been trying to share information with Carter’s parents on Kangen water but they had never been receptive to it and as many parents would they chose to put their faith in conventional medicine and chemotherapy.  In the past 10 months Carter’s condition has continued to deteriorate and two weeks ago his parents finally said no more chemotherapy.  He has become obese and retained fluids and can’t walk and has been confined to a hospital bed and since he can no longer eat they have been feeding him through a tube in his nose.  After several weeks in the hospital getting chemotherapy his parents chose to bring him home for whatever time he had left.  Sara, bless her heart, shares the deep love for children that our parents instilled in all thirteen of their children, and she refused to give up on Carter or his parents even though she had never met any of them.  She just knew that a child and his parents were suffering and had compassion enough to want to help them and to persist in trying to share Kangen water with them.  She also had a belief that Kangen water would help based on all the experiences I’ve shared with her and that she has witnessed herself.  Finally, about 10 days ago when Carter’s parents decided to stop chemotherapy and bring him home, they also agreed to give Kangen water a try.  Sara gladly started taking them Kangen water and since Carter’s condition was so grave that he was nearly comatose and could not eat, his parents have had to give him Kangen water through a feeding tube in his nose.  Carter had not been communicating much at all but now after only 3 or 4 days on Kangen water via a feeding tube he is back talking with his parents and has once again started eating on his own without the need for the feeding tube.  It is still too soon to tell if he will recover but he is definitely improving and was able to stand briefly when working with a physical therapist and even attended a fund-raiser given for him at a local restaurant by the many caring people of Huntley who want to help him and his family.  I have seen so many remarkable improvements in people with cancer who started drinking Kangen water that this doesn’t really surprise me but I am still amazed by it.
Finally, I’ll share a story from Linda Hansen who I went to high school with at Central High School in Clifton, Illinois.  Linda has suffered for many years from arthritis and fibromyalgia and was in severe pain daily.  She credits Kangen water with allowing her to recover so much that it has truly changed her life.  She shared this story with me recently how the “strong acid water pH 2.5″ has helped her dad and her husband Ed.  Linda wrote to me the following:  “I just wanted you to know that I sent strong acid water to my folks to clean a bad sore on my dad’s leg.  He has diabetes and is retaining fluid.  He couldn’t get into the wound center for a week and we were afraid that the sore just couldn’t wait that long.  My mom called the next morning after using the Kangen strong acid water on the wound to say she couldn’t believe how much better it looked.  Until you see it yourself, you just don’t believe it.  Ed cut his thumb to the bone from tip to knuckle, had 7 stitches could have had 4 more but they thought it might heal better if they didn’t put stitches through the nail.  UGH!  I’ve been cleaning it twice a day with strong acid water and it is healing beautifully. Thanks so much for teaching us about Kangen water.  It is literally a life saver.”

That really says it all for me.  Kangen water is truly a blessing and I want to encourage all of you to come learn about it and make it a part of your life and to join me in sharing it with the people in your lives who you love and care about.

Kahlua is almost 15 years old and has horrible arthritis in her back legs.  For over a year, she has been unable to jump up on the bed or chairs due to the pain.  If she tries, she doesn’t make it all the way and she opens her claws to try to pull herself up.  It’s a horrible thing to witness on an animal I love so dearly.  She also hurts so badly that she won’t let us pet her on her back towards her hind legs.  Andrew’s Mom Gillian visited last summer and suggested that we move her litter box upstairs when watching her lumber up and down the stairs so painfully.  NOW…   After 3 weeks on Kangen Water® 8.5 pH, she is jumping on the bed at nighttime, she can jump up on my lap again and she is even playing!  If she finds one of Abby’s hair ties on the floor,  she has been playing like a kitty again.  It is wonderful to watch!   She still has the hobble/hitch in her walk, but you can see she is in much less pain!  Her coat and skin are changing dramatically also.  Her hair is so soft and there is no flaking on her skin anymore when you look under her fur!

Tzoid is 14 years old and her biggest issue is her eyes.  She is beginning to get very cloudy eyes that I assume are cataracts.  Andrew and I both commented last night at the same time that the cloudiness is disappearing.  Wow, this water is absolutely amazing!  She is also returning to her more youthful self, meowing and wanting constant petting and attention.

I feel so happy that my 2 cats are regaining their health.  It is a wonderful thing to witness and know we are giving to our pets!   Thanks Enagic!!!!
