THIS MONTH OUR AWARD goes to an extraordinary product which, after several months of thorough testing, has so impressed me that I'm telling everyone I meet about it. Without any exaggeration, this product could make an enormous difference to the health of everyone - and we do mean everyone on this planet - yourself, your kids, your parents, friends and family - even your pets and plants!

Water is one of our most precious resources; we can't survive without it. But few of us are aware of the tremendous potential it has - not just to heal many of ailments that are currently on the rise - but also to assist our children in coping with the many toxic substances that are impacting their systems, behavior and health. Dave Schneider is a man who has devoted the better part of his 30-year career in the health and nutrition field to becoming an expert on water, energy and well-being. He believes this most precious resource is not only misunderstood, but also neglected and abused, and that not addressing this tragedy places everyone, especially our children, at great risk.

Here's why:

ONE: We're 90% water at birth, down to 70% as adults, and dropping. How well hydrated we are affects every bodily process: removal of toxins, electrical energy for brain function, blood oxygen levels, energy-generating cycles, immune system, hormone production, muscle tone, joint flexibility and strength, nutrient absorption, digestion, bone health, nails, skin and more. To achieve even a chance at a healthy life, we need a continuous flow of enough balanced, energized water, or everything gets stagnant. It's said that 75% of all disease can be traced back to even short term dehydration - from hypertension to strokes to cancer, depression and arthritis.
 

TWO: We absorb less than 10% of the water we drink. Even if you drink enough water every day (half your body weight in ounces), studies of nearly 40,000 people, all drinking this standard amount of water, show 94% are still dehydrated.
 

THREE: Our bodies are so toxic they can no longer chemically balance water and then absorb enough of it to provide therapeutic levels of hydration and oxygen. Yet water, restored to the natural chemical balance and energy it had years ago before we polluted and depleted it, has the ability to not only keep us alive but healthy and capable of optimal performance.
 

FOUR: Nobel science in 2003 proved how our cells hydrate - they absorb single water molecules at a time only through aquaporin channels in the cells. We now know and have proven that it's not the source or cost of water, nor the pH level or clusters that count in hydration and oxygenation - it's the chemical balance and stability of water when you drink it.

Stirwands aren't a gimmick, they're a proven, affordable, and oh-so-simple solution that's backed by human clinical trials. When stirred in your water for just 20 seconds before you drink it, Stirwands are clinically proven to naturally - without adding anything artificial - quickly restore any clean, potable water to near perfect balance and stability. Water stirred with a Stirwand can:

• Deliver therapeutic levels of hydration and oxygen to your cells via single water molecules
• Increase hydration immediately, 28.5% (within 30 days)
• Increase blood oxygen immediately, 10.25% (within 14 days)
• Decrease cellular toxins, 18.2% (within 90 days - THAT's a measure of how toxic our bodies are!)

And, that water will remain stable for 48 hours in an opened container, or 95% stable for months if the container is sealed.

The Evidence
Hydration is a mathematical measurement of the fluid levels in the body. The more hydrated you are, the more efficiently you transport nutrients and hormones, and flush toxins. In the past 7 years, nearly 40,000 human subjects have gone through hydration testing at Fenestra Research. This testing clearly shows that the current state of the average human is not up to the challenge of processing and absorbing enough water, even if the correct amount of water is consumed daily, 94% of the nearly 40,000 people tested were found to be significantly dehydrated.

Why Is Hydration So Important?
Water can prevent and alleviate many of our symptoms. Hydration is the main solvent for vitamins and minerals. Here are just some of the things that a well-hydrated system can do:

• Deliver nutrients to the cells
• Efficiently deliver oxygen to the cells
• Increase blood oxygen levels
• Remove waste materials from the cells
• Help to remove toxic material from the liver and kidneys
  This is an important part of the treatment for many children whose bodies need detoxifying owing to the proliferation of chemicals, pesticides, and other toxic substances being ingested today.

A well-hydrated system:

• is critical for efficient function of energy-generating cycles
• provides electrical energy for brain function
• is required for the synthesis of neurotransmitters
• helps reduce depression, stress and anxiety
• helps restore normal sleep cycles
• increases the efficiency of the immune system
• is required for the production of hormones
• helps reduce PMS symptoms
• helps to regulate ocular pressure
• helps to regulate adhesion index of blood cells
• may reduce our risk of heart attacks and strokes
• is vital for all digestive functions
• prevents constipation
• reduces the skin's signs of aging
• aids in weight loss
• enhances joint flexibility and strength, and
• enhances athletic performance.

Stirwands are available in eight different colors and each has a different effect:

Blue-Violet - 24/7 Stirwand
For everyday use and stress relief and can be used at all hours.

Turquoise - Olympian Stirwand
For optimizing athletic performance and is for day time use.

Purple - Zen Master Stirwand

(It's also great for calming kids!)

Rose - Warm Heart Stirwand

Best of all, if you don't place them in a microwave or dishwasher, Stirwands are virtually indestructible and thus could last for decades. Plus, just one Stirwand can be used for all the family's needs!

Below are a small selection of real testimonials from real people that we feel provide clear evidence of the many benefits of using a Stirwand. (You'll find many more on Stirwand's website at www.stirwandsdirect.com.

I cannot believe the effect the Zen Master has on my two sons (ages 6 and 8); when they drink 'Zen water', they immediately become calm, settled, and focused . I now have "Zen" water ready when I pick them up at the bus stop so all remains calm and serene in the home when we arrive. They can instantly recognize a "Zen" beverage when I give them one; they say it makes them feel 'verrrrry relaaaxed'. I also use the Zen Master Stirwand when bathing my newborn as it keeps him calm and relaxed during his "ordeal". I also use it in his bottles and he is the happiest baby and the best sleeper ever...thank you!

Saturday evening after a few hours on the computer, my left arm was sore from elbow to waist and up to my neck with enlarged and hard nodes in the armpit. I would usually use cups or lymphatic massage to treat this. This time, I thought... these things are vibrating let's see what they do. I took a wand and put in my pit for one minute. All swelling soreness, enlargement and hardness in the nodes was gone. NOW YOU REALLY HAVE MY ATTENTION.

I cut my thumb, again, trimming a palm tree. That hurts, it bleeds, and is normally sore for several days. This time, I rinsed it quickly and grabbed my Olympian and held it on the puncture. The bleeding stopped immediately, as did the pain, and it wasn't the least bit sore. I jabbed the same thumb with a knife a week later, so did the same thing. Same results. Also burned that same abused thumb on a curling iron, immediately grabbing the Olympian and was pain free in minutes. The Olympian - I won't leave home without it!

I decided to wear the Warm Heart Stirwand. After about an hour I had noticed an energy shift around me, a very peaceful feeling. I was impressed so I let my friend wear it for a while and they felt the same energy shift. I helped my mother move to another apartment this past week. I decided to wear the Warm Heart again and could actually feel a wonderful shift in our relationship happening.

I've personally been using Stirwands for about five months now. It wasn't until someone asked me recently how I was managing to remain so unruffled and peaceful, despite everything else in my life crumbling as this time of all-round collapse and transitions, that I realized I've been feeling uncharacteristically serene and grounded and - dare I say it? - yes, downright fearless since, well, since I first started using Stirwands!

There's so much more I could say about Stirwands™, but we simply don't have the room here.
