CELLULAR HYDRATION
Why cellular hydration so important?
Hydration is another very essential step to whole body health. We are made up of over 70% water. That equates to10
gallons for a person of 120 lbs. Every metabolic function in our
cells need water in our cells. Through perspiration, evaporation,
and exhalation in intensive exercise, we could lose as much as 5 to 8
pounds of water. Studies show that for every pound of fluid lost,
there is a significant drop in the efficiency with the body produces
energy. 
Most energy is produced in tiny power plants within our cells called
mitochondria. Our cells are completely dependant upon mitochondria
to sustain life by generating energy. Water is imperative in the
creation of energy. In fact, ATP has to be broken down by water in
order to generate energy. So, as you can see, a low water
environment means inadequate energy production.
Water may also be an
important way to control hunger pangs. In other words, when you feel
hungry, you may actually be thirsty. Thus, by keeping yourself
properly Hydrated, you can avoid false craving for food.
The great thing about Xtreme X2O is that it actually makes the water
“wetter” by lowering the surface tension of water molecules, which
dramatically increases your water’s ability to hydrate your body at
a cellular level. When pure minerals are added to purified or
distilled in a sachet (“tea bag”) form like Xtreme X2O, the minerals
can be ionized efficiently and made available to your body. (This
means the mineral oxides are release in the water to form ions
(OH-), which increases the pH of water.)

THE TRUTH ABOUT BOTTLED
WATER-
Without X2O, it's just water!

Water and Dehydration
Many
of us have heard that drinking at least eight glasses of water is
essential. We are made up of over 70% water. That equates to 10
gallons for a person of 120 lbs. Every metabolic function in our
cells need water in our cells. Through perspiration, evaporation,
and exhalation in intensive exercise, we could lose as much as 5 to
8 pounds of water. Studies show that for every pound of fluid lost,
there is a significant drop in the efficiency with the body produces
energy.
Brad King-Performance Nutritionist, fitness and Wellness Expert,
Member of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame, author of 10 books says
in his book, Xtreme Health: "We are a miracle at birth. Our body is
the vehicle to take us through our life's journey. when we are born,
we are approximately 70% water, however, as we age, our water
content diminishes. Unfortunately, most individuals between the ages
of 30 & 40 have already lost 10 to 15% of their water stored and by
the age of 65, are lucky to still have 50%."
Aging is the process of drying up from the inside out- dehydration
Brad King- "Next to oxygen, water is unquestionably the most
important nutrient for sustaining life. Then why don't the majority
of us drink enough of it? Water, tea, soft drinks & juices are not a
substitute for water- they dehydrate you."
Many so-called signs of aging are also signs and symptoms of chronic
dehydration including:
Heartburn
Dyspepia
Back pain
migraine headaches
Old-age diabetes
Hypertension
Rheumatoid joint pain
Autoimmune diseases
Cholesterol build-up
Dry skin
Constipation
Colitis
Tiredness
Anxiety
Depression
Dehydration is the primary cause of daytime fatigue, which slows
down the metabolism and impairs focus, concentration and physical
performance.
Brad KIng- Xtreme Health: "Thirst is the obvious sign of
dehydration, but the truth is your body is in need of water long
before needs water to create energy."
Dr. Henri Coanda- Nobel Prize winner originated the expression, "You
are what you drink" He said that water effects our health more than
any other nutrient.
Even if you are drinking water daily, you are probably still
dehydrated. Normal water molecules
has a surface tension rating approximately 70 - 74 dynes. Our cells
have a surface tension rating of approximately 45 dynes. To hydrate
the cells more efficiently, the surface tension of water needs to be
lower, closer to 45 dynes.
Dr. Alexis Carrell, 1912 M Nobel Prize - Medicine- "Since the
molecular structure of water is the essence of all life, the man who
can control that structure in cellular system will change the
world."
So what is the solution to cellular hydration?
Xooma Worldwide has a product, Xtreme X2O that actually hydrates you
cellularly. How? By adding this little sachet of X2O in your water,
it changes the molecular structure of the water molecules, thus
making it smaller so it can enter your cells.

DISTILLED WATER
Is distilled or Purified water enough? Distilled/Purified is water that has virtually
all of its impurities as well as minerals and electrolytes stripped
through distillation (boiling the water and re-condensing the
steam into clean a container), leaving all contaminants behind.
Distilled/Purified water is good clean water, unfortunately all the minerals
and electrolytes are also all stripped out.
Distilled/Purified water tends to be more acidic moving your body to
a less healthy state. contributing your body to a condition
prime for viruses, bacteria, and other menaces. . So you decide what is better for you, distilled/Purified
water that is slightly acidic with no minerals or electrolytes or a
mineral water like X2O that has a pH of 9.9 with all the vital
minerals
and electrolyte when added to water.
HEALTH OF DRINKING MINERAL WATER
Dr. John Sorenson, a leading authority on minerals metabolism, said,
“Minerals in drinking water are more easily and better absorbed than
minerals from food.” Creating “healthy water” means removing harmful
agents but keeping the beneficial minerals. Mineralized water is
needed
for all cellular functions and if there are no minerals in drinking
water your
body will strip the minerals from somewhere else in your body to
satisfy
its need. While mineral water has many great benefits,
not all minerals are alike or has the same benefits. I highly
recommend Xtreme X2O. It is the best mineral water available.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEST MINERAL WATER
Here is a mineralized water I highly recommend, Xtreme X2O.
One sachet of X2O has:
• 947 mg…. highly active calcium
• 34 mg….. Magnesium
• 14 mg…. trace minerals (including chromium, sodium
and potassium)
• 5 mg…… L-ascorbic acid
• Trace….. Silver
Hydrates: X2O sachets actually makes water “wetter” by physically
changing the molecular structure. This dramatically improves your
body’s hydration at the cellular level. Mineralize: every sachet
contains
calcium, magnesium, and over 70 trace minerals (electrolytes)
become ionic in water allowing them to be absorbed quickly and
easily.
Revitalize: X2O transforms your water into a powerful alkalizing
agent
while creating numerous beneficial antioxidants. This radically
reduces
stress levels and slows the aging process caused by today’s
fast-paced
lifestyles. Transform your water! Make X2O your body’s daily source
of “Ultimate Fuel” .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dehydration
slows all of the body's functions by
up to 50%, including the actions of
the weight-regulating thyroid and
adrenal glands. And since the brain
is 80% water, dehydration offsets
appetite-regulating functions, as
well.
This means drinking
4 oz. of water every hour is
essential for preventing weight
gain.1
Squeeze the juice of half a
lemon, plus tsp. of freshly grated
lemon zest, into a mug, then add
8oz. of water that's been boiled and
left to cool for several minutes.
Sip slowly.
Lemon and hot water promote
peristalsis- intestinal
contractions that speed the
elimination of fat-storing toxins.2
Mix
it Up!
Switching between hot and cold water
acts as a form of internal cleanse.
Hot water helps your intestines
flush toxins all day, while cold
water keeps calorie burn high. An
hour after drinking 8 oz of hot
lemon water, drink 8 oz of ice-cold
water. Repeat this cycle twice at
non-meal times.

OVER HYDRATION
Can you over hydrate? It is rare for people to over hydrate if their
body's system are working normally. Over hydration
occurs when over kidneys are unable to excrete water normally.
People with heart , kidney or liver disease are more likely to
develop over hydration because their kidneys are unable to excrete
water normally. To correct that problem would be to restrict
the amount of water in take or adjust sodium intake in their diet.
More and more people are drinking bottled or filtered
water today because it’s cleaner water than tap water. The problem
is these water are depleted of the vital minerals and electrolytes
our body needs, plus they are acidic and tend to contribute to your
body a condition prime for viruses, bacteria and other undesirable
menace. So when over hydrate with water that are depleted of
these vital minerals and electrolytes, yes, it can do you more harm
than good. Even fish can’t survive in water that is stripped of the
essential minerals. Therefore over drinking water that are stripped
of vital minerals and electrolytes could actually could even kill
us.
PROPER HYDRATION
Here is a simple guide as to how much water to drink. According to
Dr. Michael Triglia, a person should drink half their body weight in
fluid oz of water daily. For example, if you weigh 200 lbs, then 100
fl oz of water would be sufficient. If you are engaged in intensive
exercise or activities, then more will be needed. A person who
engage in very low level of daily activity may need a little less.
Proper hydration is very essential for optimum health.
No body really knows what really is the proper amount. It varies
from one person to another. But just eight glasses of water a day is
really insufficient when you think of the billions of cells in our
body that need water for all metabolic functions. Water is needed in our cells for all metabolic
functions. Proper hydration is also needed for body cleansing. I
have found that when I drink the recommended amount of mineralized
water by Dr Triglia, it made a great difference than when I only
drink eight glasses of water a day.
We can drink and drink, water simply pass through our body.
The water simply isn't being absorbed by your body cells.
Proper hydration is more than just getting sufficient water into our
body but more specifically into our cells.
SPORTS AND HYDRATION
There has been a concern especially among athletes and marathon
runner with dehydration and hyponatremia (over hydration). One
can over hydration if you are just drinking water
that has no minerals or electrolytes that are being loss through
strenuous sport activities which can actually do more harm than
good. On the other side of it is not hydrating enough and that
too can cause a lot of problems. The simple solution to these two problems is drink mineralized water
like Xtreme X2O. While there are all sorts of Sports drinks in the
market today, are these sport drinks perform what they claim? Look
at the pH chart below, Xtreme X2O out performs popular sports drinks
and other beverages!
As you can see some of these popular sport drinks actually
promotes dehydration rather than hydration. They only give a
false sense of hydration. They are all acidic. They may
satisfy your thirst but not satisfying your cellular hydration. Xtreme
X2O has a pH level of 9.9! No acidity! It contains many of the
vital minerals and electrolytes your body so desperately need.
It's bio-available and bio-absorbable. What does this mean to
you? When you get a drink, your cells get a drink also.
Read what this Triathlete's, Timothy W. of Indiana, testimonial:
This product has proven to be amazing. I am an avid Triathlete. I
have been competing for the last 7 seasons and have run over 30
races. 19 months ago, I found out I was entered in the very
exclusive Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon in San Francisco, CA. This
race begins with a 1.5 mile swim from the Rock back to the beach
(choppy, 56 degrees water) followed by an 18 mile bike and then an 8
mile un all through the hills of San Francisco. I completed the race
just over 3 hours and placed just top 22%. I was very pleased. That
isn’t the best part. I got in the race again this year and the only
real difference in my training was that I went on X2O about 5 months
before the even this year. My physical training was basically the
same. I shaved almost 15 minutes off my time and finished in the top
11% overall!! I knew that this product was helping, but I had no
idea to what level until I ran this race. I have competed in 5 other
races this year and have been at or above my personal best in all of
them. I am having a great season and I plan to use this product in
all my training from now on. Thanks Xooma!!
**************
| Dave S., Lindon, UT USA
I am SO happy with the personal results I have
had from taking the Xooma Challenge. As some of you
know, I hesitated to do it because I felt that
weight training would interfere with my sprint
distance triathlon hobby. But I did it anyway
because I am a Xooma rep and wanted to know for
myself how well the products work.
The pictures of me are from a triathlon I did last
Saturday, which happened to be almost exactly on the
90th day of the challenge. This is a national
qualifier race, with 940 participants.
I set a personal record by TEN MINUTES, and won a
medal for the first time ever! This after gaining
approximately 12 pounds of muscle on the Xooma
Challenge. I placed 51st over all, even though I'm
41 years old and the vast majority of participants
are between 19 and 35.
One of the reasons I think I improved so much is
because of the AM and the PM formulas. Within a few
weeks of taking these I noticed I was sleeping
better than I have since I was a child, and I
started waking up an hour before the alarm clock
went off, feeling great. I am sure that all of my
workouts were more effective because the body
recovers and builds during sleep. The other thing
that helped is the protein powder, which I'm sure
helped a ton in the muscle gains.
I am very grateful to Clark Bartram and Brad King
for creating this program, I am hooked, and am glad
to say I am right now in the best shape of my entire
life thanks to this program! |

Introduction to Water Fasting
"The best of all medicines are rest and fasting" - Benjamin Franklin
Editor's Note:
Water Fasting can be dangerous to certain individuals. It can also
lead to healing, clarity of mind and a feeling of wellness
unachievable by any other method.
If Water Fasting is not safe for you, I urge you to go at least 2
weeks with NO: Sugar, Wheat and Caffeine. Either way, I guarantee
you will rediscover a sharper mind and body.
Water Fasting is defined as the complete abstinence from all food
substances except pure water. When properly conducted, fasting is
one of the most potent tools available for helping the body in
healing itself.
Records of fasting are found among almost all peoples in both
ancient and modern times. The aims of fasting fall for reasons of
spiritual enlightenment, self-discipline and health.
All organs and glands get a well-deserved rest, during which their
tissues are purified and rejuvenated and their functions balanced
and regulated. It is in the fasting state that the body is given the
opportunity to purify its tissues, to eliminate undesirable tissue
accumulations, growth, etc. It also allows the body an opportunity
to let stressed and abused tissues heal. By rebuilding immunity,
health is naturally restored and disease disappears.
Almost all diseases begin in the digestive track. This includes
diabetes, asthma, cancer, Alzheimer's, heart disease, memory loss,
MS, etc. Your intestinal track is the origin of disease, and it is
also the origin of your healing.
Pre-Fast Evaluation:
A one-day fast is beneficial and should not pose any risk.
Before a long fast, a pre-fasting evaluation should be done with
your doctor.
How Long to Fast:
Once an evaluation has been completed the next step would be to
establish the duration of the fast. If fasting is new to you, don't
go for a marathon fast your first time. Experimenting with 1 -3 days
is advised.
If you feel that you absolutely can not complete your fasting goal,
by all means grab an apple or some grapes. You don't need to be a
hero, but don't consider quitting so easily.
Breaking the Fast:
As with all aspects of fasting, proper termination of the fast is a
highly individual matter. Most fasts will be terminated with fresh
fruits or vegetables or their juices.
After the Fast:
The most important period of the fast is the initial time after
completing fasting. Too rapid return to food and activity can be
harmful. The body must be given an opportunity to return to heavy
food and physical activity, etc.
Summary:
Fasting means taking in just pure water while ensuring your organs a
rest. This unique process maximizes the healing potential of the
body, allowing it to “clean house” and quickly restore a state of
higher health.

An interesting case of Bottled Water
Labeling.
A Bottled water company which labeled their bottled water as “Spring
Water” was being bottled from a water source consisting of a well at
a facility next to a hazardous waste site. After news of this became
public, a testing of the water showed it contained contamination
from industrial solvents. Unfortunately, it was later determined
that the labeling as Spring Water was not misleading because the
water at times did come to the surface on its own at an unpaved area
near the parking lot of the facility.
The facility was eventually closed.

closed?)
