HYDRATION AND WATER RESEARCH

Nobel Prize winner Dr. Henri Coanda, the founder of fluid dynamics, was one of the world's greatest scientists. Born in Bucharest, Dr. Coanda was an inventor who held more than 600 patents.  In the later years of his career he became infatuated with the 120- to 140-year life span of the residents of the Hunza land north of Pakistan. As he was nearing his retirement, Dr. Coanda chose an up-and-coming teenage science whiz to carry on his work. Young Patrick Flanagan had been recognized by Life Magazine as one of the top ten most promising scientists in the United States.

Dr. Coanda was 78 years old when he offered Flanagan his documented research and asked that his research on longevity be carried on. Flanagan accepted Coanda's challenge and began his life's work.  He started by identifying five remote areas of the planet where the inhabitants lived extremely healthy lives of 120 years or longer.

The diets of the residents of the five regions were all different. The only common factor Flanagan could find to explain why those people lived such long and healthy lives was their drinking water. In every one of the areas, the water consumed was from melted glaciers. On analysis, glacial water is physically different; it has a lower surface tension and is similar in some ways to the fluid that surrounds the body's cells. This water, or "glacial milk," was named Hunza Water after the most well known of the five areas Flanagan studied.

Dr. Flanagan then set out to develop his own Hunza Water and to share the gift of good health and longevity with the world. After years of research, Flanagan duplicated the properties of Hunza Water through his creation of small, three-dimensional Silica-based Microclusters®.

Other researchers who had concluded that the secret of Hunza Water was only its trace minerals were stunned to discover that it was the clustered structure of water molecules that made glacial water unique. 

First, Dr. Flanagan invented a 33-step process that used three minerals found in human tissue to change nutrients into nano-colloidal silicates. Microclusters® was the catalyst produced by this process, which increases the ability of the nutrients to absorb. Studies have shown Microclusters® can absorb 300 percent more than the same nutrient without an increase in the absorption of many other nutritional supplements. 

Dr. Flanagan continued to research Hunza Water and discovered it contained a vast number of negatively-charged hydrogen ions. Hydrogen has one electron and is a powerful neutralizer of free radicals and the ultimate antioxidant. This research led to Flanagan's discovery of Silica Hydride MegaH™, a nutritional supplement that adds negatively-charged hydrogen ions to the body, and MegaHydrate™, the first supplement scientifically proven to increase hydration. 

As if all that wasn't enough, Dr. Flanagan found that Hunza Water contained other properties that involved energy, heat and viscosity.  Another decade of research brought him to a new discovery--a mineral activator that reduced nutritional elements to a new type of mineral colloid.  A mineral colloid of this small size--just 12 atoms around--had never been achieved before. The minute size of these Microclusters® reduces the size of nutrients and transports them straight to the cells where they are needed.  Microclusters® are approximately five to ten nanometers (one nanometer equals a billionth of a meter) in diameter; nearly two and one-half million would fit on the head of a pin. In spite of their small size, the surface area of Microclusters® is approximately 240,000 square feet per ounce.  Microclusters® encapsulate tiny particles of nutrients in an electrically charged coating of minerals to protect them until their absorption by the cells.  With this discovery, Dr. Flanagan had at last been successful in recreating all of the properties found in Hunza Water.

When nutrients are made this small, the size allows electrons to move rapidly through them which creates a powerful charge that attracts water molecules. This increases nutrient hydration and raises the ability to absorb and attract to cells.  In so doing, it reduces the surface tension and changes the structure of its physical properties to those of the water that surrounds the cells. 

Additionally, Silica Hydride also increases the net charge ("zeta potential") of particles that decide how the cells are "clustered" in the body. By increasing zeta potential, fluids are able to move between cells, flush out toxins and absorb more water into the cells.
  
Dr. Flanagan's work with nanotechnology has created wondrous opportunities for both an increase in the quality of life and life extension.  He is described by his peers as one of the most incredible scientists the world has ever known. 

Hydrogen... Longevity's Missing Link

by Patrick Flanagan MD

Nexus December, 1994 - January 1995.

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, the Nobel laureate who discovered vitamin C, calls water the mother and matrix of all life (6). Water is so much a part of life that we tend to ignore it and look elsewhere for the magic bullet, the secret herb or nutrient that will increase health and vigor and extend life-span.

Recent discoveries about the significance of water and its function in the living system may forever change our view of water. All the symptoms of aging are in one way or another accompanied by a slow dehydration of our vital tissues associated with free-radical oxidative damage (22). No matter how much tap water we drink, we cannot seem to slow down the inevitable starvation of vital tissues for the fluid that is everywhere. There is much more to tissue hydration than simply drinking ordinary water. Tissue water is as different from spring water as milk is from apple juice.

This is the story of a discovery that may help to slow the dehydration and subsequent tissue damage that accompanies the aging process.

THE BEGINNING OF THE QUEST
When Patrick Flanagan was 17 years old, he had already been a child prodigy in electronics and chemistry since the age of eight (15). He was consulting with a Stamford, Connecticut-based science 'think tank' when he first met Dr Henri Coanda ( 1885-1972).

Dr Coanda was 78 at the time and appeared to be in exceptionally good health. He had the quick mind and bright eyes of a man driven by a vast reservoir of inner energy. Dr Coanda is known as the "Father of Fluid Dynamics" (10). In 1910, seven years after the first flights by the American inventors Orville and Wilbur Wright, Coanda designed and built a jet-propelled monoplane which took off and flew under its own power with Coanda as pilot. He used an engine that he termed a reaction motor, but, discouraged by the lack of public acceptance of his aircraft, he abandoned his experiments and designed the Bristol Fighter craft for the British in World War 1 (10).

While building the world's first jet airplane, Dr Coanda discovered an effect that has become known in the science of fluid dynamics as the "Coanda effect" (10). Without the Coanda effect, we would not have a space shuttle or a 747 jet today.

During his 78th birthday party at the home of author-scientist G. Harry Stine, Patrick told Dr. Coanda that he hoped that he (Patrick) was in the same excellent health when he was 78 years old. Coanda looked at Patrick and said "Patrick, when you are 78 years old we'll talk about it". Everyone in earshot laughed at Coanda's joke.

A few days later, Dr. Coanda invited Patrick into his office and told Patrick a secret that would change his entire life. He told Patrick that he had spent over 60 years searching for the secret to "the fountain of youth." He said that the human body is over 70 per cent water and that the brain is 90 per cent water. He said that the water contains within its structure the secret to reversing the aging process.

Dr. Coanda had developed testing methods for determining different geometries in the structure of water (10). He traveled at length around the world and found five places that contained what he termed "anomalous water". Two of these places included Hunza land in the Karakoram Mountains of Northern Pakistan, and the Vilcabambia in Ecuador It has long fascinated anthropologists that people who live in these areas tend to age more slowly than the rest of us. In fact, people who live in these areas tend to remain healthy and disease-free well after the age of 100. There are documented cases of men fathering children after the age of 100.

Dr. Coanda discovered that the secret of longevity in these areas was due to the special physical properties of their water. The people who live in these areas also claim that water is the secret of their long, healthy lives. He found that this 'Hunza-type' water was significantly different from water found anywhere else (7).

Dr. Coanda's lifelong ambition was to recreate Hunza water in his laboratory. Since the human body averages 70 per cent water, he was convinced that the secret of the Hunza people's abundance of healthy centenarians was due to the health enhancing properties of their anomalous water.

As a result of his studies, he was able to test water all over the Earth and could predict the average age of death in any given locality just by testing the water in that area. Dr Coanda originated the expression. "You are what you drink". Re said that the water affects our health more than any other nutrient. He told Patrick: "Discover the secret of Hunza-type water and you can extend life indefinitely".

It is interesting that Dr. Alexis Carrel, another French scientist, had received the Nobel prize for keeping the cells of a chicken heart alive for 34 years (3,16). Dr Carrel said: "The cell is immortal. It is merely the fluid (water) in which it floats that degenerates. Renew this fluid at intervals, give the cells what they require for nutrition, and as far as we know, the pulsation of life may go on forever".

Dr. Coanda revealed the special characteristics of Hunza-type water to Patrick. With these clues in hand, Patrick started his own quest for the secret of Hunza water. After obtaining a sample of Hunza water from Betty Lee Morales, a friend who had been to Hunza land many times, Patrick performed his own analysis. The first thing he discovered was that Hunza water is in many ways just like distilled water It does not contain the mineral salts we find in mountain springs or in well-water It is devoid of mineral salts (7).

The next thing Patrick found was that Hunza water contains trace minerals in a special colloidal form. Colloidal minerals are minerals that are insoluble in water Colloidal minerals are not ionized into anions and cations like mineral salts. Although colloidal minerals are very common types of minerals, the colloids in Hunza water are different from ordinary colloids (4,7).

Colloidal minerals are so tiny that they cannot be seen except with the most powerful microscopes. Instead of being ionized, they are suspended in water by a phenomenon known as "zeta potential".

Dr. Thomas Riddick, a pioneer in colloid chemistry, stated: "Zeta potential represents a basic law of Nature, and it plays a vital role in all forms of plant and animal life. It is the force that maintains the discreteness of the billions of circulating cells which nourish the organism". If zeta potential is low, toxins cannot be suspended for elimination, and nutrients cannot be suspended for transportation to the cells. The whole system becomes clogged (7).

Patrick discovered that the colloidal mineral clusters in Hunza water were smaller and had a higher zeta potential than other colloidal minerals. He also found that Hunza water contained a very large quantity of negatively ionized hydrogen atoms. Negatively ionized hydrogen atoms are not found in ordinary water (7).

All water contains hydrogen atoms with a positive charge. The hydrogen protons that are found in ordinary water control the pH or acid-alkaline balance (12,22). The negatively charged hydrogen protons found in Hunza water are the most powerful electron donors known to chemistry. These atoms are extremely powerful free-radical scavengers. These hydrogen ions are normally found in the fluids of healthy living systems.

COLLOIDAL MINERAL CLUSTERS
In 1983, Patrick met and married his wife, Gael Crystal. After returning to their new home in the mountains outside of Sedona, Arizona, they built a new water research laboratory where they continued the quest for the secret of Hunza water.

As a result of one year of joint research, they finally succeeded in duplicating the anomalous properties of Hunza water They created a new type of colloidal mineral cluster that is so small it is only 50 angstroms in diameter. These minerals are so small that 1,600 of them would fit side by side on a red blood cell. These mineral clusters have since been trade marked under the name of "Flanagan Microclusters".

When these colloidal mineral clusters are added to ordinary distilled water, a number of extremely complex physical changes occur, including:

1) The high zeta potential attracts water molecules to the vicinity of the colloid where the water molecules are strongly polarized into forming hollow cages that resemble Buckminster Fuller's geodesic domes.
2) This ordering of molecules reduces the entropy of water. This means that the Gibbs free-energy increases. An increase in free energy in water means that the water can now support chemical reactions more easily and with less energy than before.
3) The surface tension or energy required to break the surface of water is greatly reduced. The phenomenon known as "wetting" is dependent on surface tension. The lower the surface tension the wetter the water. This means that the water requires less energy to wet substances.
4) The colloidal mineral cluster can act as vast reservoirs of negatively ionized hydrogen atoms. (This final part of the Flanagan's discovery was made ten years after they were first able to duplicate the minerals found in Hunza water).

Hunza-type waters have several things in common: they all come from high altitude mountain valleys and the basic source of water is from ancient ice-blue glaciers. This means that the water is pure and mineral-free like distilled water, since glacier water is ancient rain-water. It has no mineral salts like water found in springs and deep wells (7).

Lord Rutherford had discovered that proton nuclei could pick up electrons when they passed through matter. Since 87 per cent of cosmic rays are hydrogen protons, these high altitude glaciers may have trapped an enormous amount of hydrogen. As these cosmic rays passed through the glacial ice, they may have gained electrons in the upper layers of the glacier In addition, it is well known that hydrogen protons can travel through ice crystals thousands of times faster than any other type of ion. Dr. Castleman at the University of Pennsylvania has found that hydrogen can be trapped in cage-like water structures similar to geodesic domes (4). These geodesic dome-like cages were first predicted by two-time Nobel Prizewinner, Linus Pauling, in 1959 in his classic book, The Hydrogen Bond (17).

In addition, these waters contain a small quantity of high zeta-potential colloidal mineral clusters (7).

Patrick and Gael Crystal Flanagan discovered that Hunza water has special physical properties different from ordinary water. These properties include surface tension, viscosity, heat capacity and Gibbs free energy. These physical anomalies also contribute to formations in the structure of snow crystals. The Flanagan's task was to create water that was identical to Hunza-type water so that they could share it with the rest of the world.

Patrick had spent 20 years trying to duplicate Hunza-type water. He tried to induce anomalous properties by applying energy fields from magnets, ionizing and nonionizing radiation, crystals and pyramids. He was able to duplicate a few of the anomalous properties of Hunza water, but these changes were only temporary. These altered waters lost their anomalous properties with the passage of time.

In the first year of their joint research, Patrick and Gael discovered the secret of Dr Coanda's anomalous water, and created the first laboratory analog of Hunza water. After ten years of additional research and development, they opened up a new domain in nanotechnology. They not only duplicated the properties of Hunza water, they also increased the quantity of negatively ionized hydrogen atoms millions of times over that found in Hunza water. They duplicated a type of colloidal mineral cluster that is only found in Hunza-type water. These mineral clusters act like tiny magnets, drawing water molecules to their surface, creating liquid crystals in the process. The electrical charge on these minerals alters the properties of water so that they produce the properties of Hunza water These minerals are so tiny they are only 10 to 12 atoms in diameter (7).

A new emerging science, known as cluster chemistry, has shown that minerals in this size range have profound, unusual properties not found in any other form of matter (4).

When substance is reduced in size to this dimension, electrons travel all over the surface of the mineral instead of being confined to localized areas like electrons found on ordinary colloids. These electron clouds form a zeta potential or negative electrical charge that attracts and organizes water molecules, building a liquid crystal structure (4,7).

This water intimately resembles the water found in the living system rather than water that is found in ordinary mineral or tap water. These special minerals are the source of many of the unusual water properties described by Dr Coanda. When we drink ordinary water, we have to convert it into cellular water before the cells can use it. If we cannot convert tap water into the structure of cellular water, it passes through our bodies and may leave our cells in a partially dehydrated state.

The tiny mineral clusters found in Hunza-type water, and duplicated in the Fanagans' laboratory, create liquid crystal structures that resemble those found in the living system. These tiny mineral clusters may energize practically all nutrients with which they come in contact

FUTURE RESEARCH ON THE HYDROGEN
In addition to the presence of special colloidal mineral clusters, Hunza-type water contains negatively charged hydrogen ions that may be trapped in cage-like structures. It is only in the last year that the Flanagans have been able to enhance the negatively charged hydrogen ions in water by millions of times.

Everyone knows that the body needs oxygen in order to live. Recently, much attention has been focused on oxygen therapies. What many do not know is that we need hydrogen as much as we need oxygen. Oxygen burns hydrogen in the living system, releasing the energy that runs our bodies.

Studies have shown that the human body stores hydrogen in its tissues (12,26). As we age, tissue hydrogen-depletion may lead to many of the symptoms of the aging process. This may cause subclinical dehydration since it appears that hydrogen may play a role in hydrating our cells.

Symptoms of hydrogen depletion may include chronic fatigue, depression, hormone imbalances and indigestion. As our tissues are depleted of hydrogen, they become stiff and lose flexibility. Dehydrated tendons and muscles tear more easily, and dehydrated bones become brittle. Loss of lung flexibility leads to loss of oxygen. By replenishing our hydrogen stores, we may be able to relieve many of these conditions if they are brought about by hydrogen depletion.

Hydrogen makes up 90 per cent of the matter in the known Universe: helium makes up 9 per cent. All the other elements in the Universe are found in the remaining 1 percent. Since hydrogen is so abundant, you would think that we know all there is to know about it, but we are just now learning about its importance in the living system.

The word "hydrogen" comes from the Greek language and it means "water-former". Indeed, we all know that water, the matrix or mother of life, is made from hydrogen and oxygen. In fact, water is formed when hydrogen is burned by oxygen. We create pure water every day as a product of our metabolism. When we burn hydrogen in our cells, the energy that is released is used to run our bodies (12,26).

The living system contains numerous chemical messengers that carry information and trigger events in metabolism. New messengers are being discovered all the time. The most recently discovered chemical messenger is nitric oxide. It is known as the fifth messenger. What very few people know is that hydrogen is the final messenger in the living system.

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, the Nobel laureate who discovered vitamin C, found that the tissues of the animal body store hydrogen in vast quantities (25). Different organ tissues 'pool' hydrogen in different amounts. For example, he found that the order of hydrogen-pooling is the following:

Liver> Intestine> Kidney> Heart> Lung > Spleen

Liver tissues store the most hydrogen, while the spleen stores the least. This is interesting in view of the fact that the liver is the body's first line of defense and needs a supply of the most antioxidants in order to do its work of detoxification.

Transport of hydrogen may be the missing factor in the search for the cause of the aging process and the secret to age reversal (22). As we grow older, our cells become dehydrated and our 'hydrogen pool' becomes depleted. The hydrogen pool protects our cells from free-radical damage. Virtually all longevity researchers agree that free radicals are responsible for the aging process.

There has long been an unsolved paradox in medicine, and that is the fact that oxygen is the source of all life and is also the major cause of aging (5). A tremendous effort is being extended to find a combination of powerful antioxidants that may control or reverse cell damage by oxidative free-radicals.

Hydrogen may be the missing half of the life equation. It is hydrogen that protects our cells from oxidative free-radical damage and provides energy to the cells when it is burned by oxygen, which is the other half of the equation (22,26).

The single factor that is common to all antioxidants is that they are sources of hydrogen. Hydrogen is the ultimate antioxidant. Hydrogen is also the source of protons for ATP production. (Note: ATP or adenosine triphosphate is a biochemical energy battery that supplies almost all the energy needs of the human body (12,13,22). Our purpose of eating food is to ultimately create ATP which could be called the 'currency of life'.)

Hydrogen is the lightest and smallest element known to science. We now know that we each use about one-half pound of pure hydrogen every day just for the production of ATP. We have all heard of the carbon cycle in biology. The carbon cycle is the process by which plants use sunlight and water to create carbohydrates and other food stuffs. These are then used as food by animals who burn the food created by plants. Animals exhale carbon dioxide gas which is then taken up by plants. The plants then use the carbon to make more carbohydrates, proteins and lipids (fats) which then serve as animal food (12).

The carbon cycle could actually be renamed the 'hydrogen cycle'. Several patents have been issued lately that take advantage of the fact that plants are able to use infrared light from the sun to break down water H20 into hydrogen and oxygen. The plants exhale oxygen into the atmosphere and add the hydrogen to carbon in order to make carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. Recently, scientists have succeeded in intercepting the hydrogen before it is made into food. The gas thus released can then be used to run cars!

Plants create carbohydrates, proteins and lipids by attaching hydrogen to carbon atoms like hats on a hat-rack. Carbohydrates contain an equal amount of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. We can say that all the foods that nourish us are primarily sources of hydrogen. We can see that the life cycle is really a hydrogen cycle. The 'burning of the hydrogen' is a secret of life.

Free hydrogens that are released from the carbohydrates, proteins and lipids are carried into the mitochondria by a process known as the 'hydrogen shuttle' where they are used to make ATP In this process, hydrogen is burned by oxygen, releasing energy. The final product from the burning of hydrogen is water. This extra water is eliminated from the body and is eventually taken up by plants and split by photosynthesis to make more carbohydrates, proteins and lipids (12).

While the above biological processes have been overly simplified in an effort to reveal the basis of the hydrogen cycle, we can see that life energy is controlled by burning hydrogen.

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi says in his book, The Living State: "Attaching hydrogen to a molecule means lending energy to it. Since in hydrogen the electron and proton are loosely coupled, by attaching a hydrogen we essentially attach an electron".

In biological systems, hydrogen and electrons travel together in pairs. When this combination meets up with a positively charged cell-damaging free radical, the hydrogen may react with the free radical and neutralize it so that no further cell damage may occur (22).

It is possible that hydrogen is the ultimate antioxidant. As a result of their discovery, Patrick and Gael Crystal Flanagan have been consuming large quantities of negatively charged hydrogen ions every day. Their new transport system may make hydrogen available to the cells without first having to be attached to food. These hydrogen ions may act as free-radical scavengers, and may also be used for the production of ATP.

Since hydrogen bonds are the 'glue' that holds together the molecules in the DNA double helix, the Flanagans believe these bonds can be activated and energized. It is well known that as we age, the DNA helix coils tighter and tighter, loosing flexibility. It has been hypothesized that this contraction of the DNA coil may reduce the number of times that our cells can divide (22,26). Presently, our cells can only divide about 50 times before they cease reproduction.

If we are able to loosen the DNA helix by activating the DNA hydrogen bonds, it may have a profound effect on our ability to increase the regeneration of our cells. The DNA helix floats in water and is therefore hydrated. The tightening of the helix with aging may be a reflection of the loss of the hydrogen pool with aging. By restoring a plentiful supply of the hydrogen pool, these spirals may naturally unwind and regain their ability to stimulate cellular reproduction (22,26).

Authors: Working primarily in the field of bio-physics, Patrick Flanagan began his life long career as a research scientist at an early age. At 14 he invented the patented Neurophone which has enabled many deaf people to bear. At 17 he was recognized by Life Magazine as one of the most important young scientists in America. As a primarily self-taught student, bypassing his teachers, he chose to work with prominent scientists as mentors, often as a consultant to the government, instead of following the traditional academic path to advanced degrees. In recognition of his more than 200 inventions and the significant advances in health care made by Patrick and his wife Gael Crystal Flanagan, he and Gael were granted Medical Degrees by the University Medicina Alternativa (M.A.) personally presented by the President of Sri Lanka at the World Medical Congress. The Flanagans consider Microhydrin as their most significant discovery in a life time of developing life enhancing inventions for mankind. On March 14, 1994, Professor Anton Jayasuriya, Chairperson of the Medicina Alternativa Institute of Sri Lanka, in a letter to Patrick and Gael Flanagan congratulated them on their work, which he described as "their great discovery". He said he had proposed that their research on water be sent to the Nobel Committee in Sweden.
 

Dr. Henri Coanda, age 78, "Father of fluid dynamics" and inventor of the first jet airplane, worked with Patrick Flanagan, age 18, at Huyck Research Laboratories, Stamford Connecticut, as consultants to the US Government In addition to his many projects, resulting in over 600 patents, Dr. Coanda, studied the properties of water consumed by the people of Hunza, to learn the secret of their longevity and low incidence of disease. He offered to turn over to Patrick all his findings, which enabled Patrick to continue the search, and later with Gael, to discover the negatively charged nanocolloids that make Hunza water unique.

Modern consumers have become justifiably wary of the hype and unsubstantiated claims that surround many "breakthrough" health products. The benefits and cost-effectiveness of water ionization, however, can be verified by over one hundred Japanese hospitals and clinics because of its scientifically documented health benefits and 3000 restaurants with industrial-sized alkaline ionizers. Based on scientific studies conducted at respected universities around the world, drinking Kangen Water can:

• Enhance delivery of nutrients
• Release excess body fat and stored toxins
• Normalize blood sugar and insulin levels
• Normalize blood pressure
• Support healthy colon function
• Resolve urinary tract infections
• Reduce growth of Candida and fungus
• Reduce chronic pain
• Super Cellular Hydration (Assist the body to rebuild itself)
• Detoxify & Neutralize Acidity (Disease can't exist in an alkaline body)
• Incredible Anti-Oxidant Source (Reduces the body's aging process)
• Powerful Anti-Inflammatory
• It's smooth as silk to drink
