Whoa! I can save money!

Why, instead of buying an Enagic™ (Kangen™) water ionizer for $4,000, I could by a KYK water ionizer for only $1,700. That is so awesome! I've never seen snake-oil discounted that deeply. And the interwebz have all the testimonials to back up the benefits of drinking ionized water, too.

There's one born every minute.

There was a story on the local news last night about a woman suing the Açai berry people for unauthorized use of her image and story ... she actually lost weight on the South Beach Diet, and one of the websites touting the use of the Açai berry stole her stuff.

I hope she wins her suit.

By Mogg's fluffy abs, yes. I want to see all of those Açai-holes shut down...

Wow! Think how many cow magnets you could strap onto your kitchen faucet for $1700. :-P

Honto-ni. I bet Nikken could supply them for me, too.

As you haven't bought either of them you have saved $5,700. What are you going to do with that fortune? ;-)

Yes you "Could" buy brand X made by emco that also make snow cone machines! And yes you could save that money, but then if you'd done your homework you'd know that within 6-8 months you'd be knocking on Enagic's door wishing you hadn't wasted your money! I see it happen all the time. Just remember that Enagic doesn't compare itself to anyone, we set and are the only Medical certified grade device on the market and papa always said "You get exactly what you pay for"
OH and Yes you could save money buying retread tires too, I rest my case.

You're totally missing the point, whoever you be. If you want to be healthy, do this:


  • East a healthy diet rich in fruits & veggies, low-glycemic carbs and low-cholesteral protein sources, and plenty of fiber.
  • Drink adequate water - 8 glasses a day is a good baseline. Tap water, by the way.
  • Take a high-quality (not off-the-shelf Costco stuff) nutritional supplement. There are several out there.
  • Exercise sufficiently to get your heart rate up for 30 minutes daily.


If you do this regularly, you'll be healthier than 95% of the population. Drinking ionized water is nothing but handwavium that will not significantly increase your wellness.
