Ideal water – An interview with Thomas Freitag

,

Thomas Freitag is the president of the European Institute of Health and Water Quality. Among other things, he is the developer of an ingenious water system. In this article, you will learn about the reasons why he became involved with the topic of drinking water and which values are important for our health when assessing the quality of water.

Thomas Freitag suffered from severe skin problems in his twenties, which were the result of massive heavy metal poisoning. Over several months, he received therapy from a naturopathic doctor to drain the heavy metals from his body. High quality water was available in his doctor’s waiting room, which caused him to become increasingly thirsty. His doctor, when asked the reasons, gave him the book “Water Can Destroy Your Health” by Norman Walker and so began his interest in good drinking water.

At that time, water quality was not an issue for anyone, because the water that came out of the tap was considered pure. Even today, there is a misconception that tap water is healthy. Basically, tap water does not harm our health, but it provides just as little benefit. You will find out later why this is the case.

Thomas Freitag imported a water system from America and eventually brought it to Germany through his own company, Ideal Water. Meanwhile, his company produces the water system in small series with high-quality components.

Water in our body

Humans are two-thirds water. For example, the brain is over 80 percent water and our blood is 86 percent water. These values make the importance of water clear. In short, we need water to live.

The main mistake is to drink too little water. Here, quantity goes before quality – ideally, the body should be supplied with qualitative water so that the metabolic processes as well as the detoxification processes in the body function ideally.

The three most important limit values for assessing water are as follows:

1. the pH value: this should be between 6.4 and 6.8.

2. the electrical resistance: this should not exceed 130 microsiemens. It indicates how many components are in the water that are not water. It indicates the conductivity of the water in relation to current, which results from minerals, metals and similar components in the water. The higher this conductance, the more ingredients are in the water. According to this, the water is saturated. Water should be as unsaturated as possible so that it can absorb substances from the body.

2. the redox potential: the value should be between 22 and 27. It measures the number of electrons in a liquid. The greater the value, the fewer electrons the water contains and the more free radicals are formed in the body.
If the water reaches these values, it is suitable for use in cells.

The German Drinking Water Ordinance controls about 65 criteria, for example, the values of uranium as well as benzene in the water are examined. However, there are some values which are not checked at all. These include, for example, hormones, medicines and microplastics, although these can have a major impact on our health.

We would like to use the following example to illustrate the differences between ideal water and tap water: The microsiemens value of ideal water is less than 130, but in tap water it is up to 2790. It is still not dangerous to drink tap water, but it does not promote good health.

In addition, water should never be consumed from plastic bottles, as they contain dangerous plasticizers. Carbonic acid should also be avoided, as acid is a metabolic waste product. It overacidifies the body and combines with salts to form slags in the body

The right filter system

As a general rule, a bad filter is better than no filter at all. Conventional filters include activated carbon filters, which can filter coarse impurities. However, these have the problem of germination, so the filters must be changed frequently and the containers disinfected regularly.

We do not recommend filters for alkaline water, because alkaline water neutralizes stomach acid, which leads to health problems in the long run. Stomach acid is a natural barrier against bacteria, germs and viruses and aids digestion. If you drink too much alkaline water, the stomach acid is neutralized, which makes the natural barrier impossible and causes digestive problems.

Reverse osmosis is a very good system and the only economical way to rid water of all ingredients, but with the disadvantage that the water is not alive afterwards.

Nature water treatment process

To develop the ideal water filtration system, Thomas Freitag took advantage of nature’s water treatment process. Water in nature is purified from all ingredients by evaporation. Only oxygen and hydrogen are gases that can change their state of aggregation from liquid to gaseous. All ingredients that cannot do this, such as minerals, metals, and salts, thus remain behind. Subsequently, the water is animated in nature with the help of clouds, vibrations of the sun and light. Then it rains down and is easily mineralized in mountain streams by the stones as well as enriched with natural oxygen by swirling by means of the stones.

For the water filtration system is used molecular filtration, through which water is separated from all ingredients. Then the water is revitalized by a technology with vibrations of light, then lightly mineralized and swirled by a swirling spiral on the tap and enriched with natural oxygen.

Bacteria are retained by membranes. The plant has no storage tank, as membranes are now developed to the point where direct flow systems are possible. Water is freshly produced, so to speak, when the tap is opened. Such a water filtration system in its smallest version requires only 14 centimeters of space, so it can be installed even lying under the skirting board. The system can be installed in almost any home, as well as by any handyman who can install a washing machine or dishwasher.

As you can see, not all water is the same. To best support and maintain your health, you should pay attention to the quality of your drinking water.

Water against cancer

,

The effect of water in our body

If we want to avoid cancer and stay healthy, drinking enough water is immensely important. Among other things, water ensures that the lymph fluids flow better and thus the cell supply functions much better. Provided that we have enough good water in the body, the whole removal of harmful substances in the body is ensured. We absorb all carcinogenic substances as well as a multitude of harmful substances into our bodies every day, for example through food, but also through the air we breathe. Furthermore, various processes in the body produce some waste products, which also burden our body if they are not flushed out. With a sufficient supply of water we can support our body so that all harmful substances are flushed out. This also reduces the risk of harmful substances becoming lodged in the kidneys or bladder.

The University of Cambridge has found that the risk of developing bladder cancer drops by a full sixty percent if you drink enough good water. This value is very remarkable! In addition, Oxford University has found that the risk of developing colorectal cancer also decreases.

The recommended daily drinking amount

The recommended amount to drink per day is about two to three liters, which corresponds to about six glasses, which should be drunk throughout the day. Provided that the amount is drunk at once, it will be flushed out by the body without function. The positive benefit is thus eliminated.

To remember to stay hydrated, there are several ways to do so. For example, you can set an alarm clock or, after you have drunk a glass of water empty, you can immediately provide a full glass again. So you always have the water in view and are automatically reminded to drink more. It is usually particularly difficult to keep to the drinking amount when you are out and about a lot during the day. It is advisable to start the day with a large glass of water after getting up and to always pack something to drink on the go.

Which water is healthy?

Not all water is the same. In general, you should use still water that is as low in minerals as possible. This has the best properties to absorb harmful substances from the body and thus flush them out. Unfortunately, good water is hard to buy.

Therefore, the best option is to filter the water yourself. There are many different filters which can do this. We recommend a so-called membrane filter, but it depends on what happens to the water after filtering, so that it can also be well absorbed by the body. We have found that the idealwater filter works great. You can get it at a twenty percent discount via https://www.diepraxisfamily.com/ideales-wasser-mit-thomas-freitag/ with the discount code “Praxisfamily”. We have been testing this in our practice for years with the result that water obtained through this filter is of the best quality.

If you don’t have a filter and don’t want to get one, you should buy good water if possible.

Tap water is not recommended, as it is not low in minerals. On the contrary – it has a lot of minerals and even toxins and loads. It is therefore not healthy for the body unfiltered. The water can also hardly be absorbed by the body and has no benefit.

Arsenic in rice – dangerous or not?

, ,

Some of our patients have pointed out to us that the arsenic contained in rice is toxic, so we should not eat it. However, this statement is not true. If rice were really as toxic as some people believe, the Asian world would theoretically already be extinct. Rice is basically not toxic, but the arsenic content in rice plays a decisive role. What you should pay attention to when eating, you will learn in this article.

In general, you should always make sure that you take in as few potentially harmful and carcinogenic substances into your body, for example through food, as possible.

At what level of consumption can arsenic poisoning occur?

To actually get arsenic poisoning, the amount consumed would have to be extremely high. To show the relationship, the following example: a person weighing about sixty kilograms would have to consume about sixty thousand kilograms of a very toxic, arsenic-containing rice in one sitting to get arsenic poisoning. This is absolutely unrealistic. However, even if consumption does not cause direct arsenic poisoning, too much arsenic can harm us. Although the arsenic content in rice is minimal, it is still noticeable compared to other foods.

Healthy rice

The decisive factor with regard to arsenic is above all the amount consumed. Do you eat rice only occasionally, regularly once a week, daily, or even several times a day? Just as crucial as the amount and frequency of consumption is the type of rice itself. There is both organically bound arsenic and inorganic arsenic. Only the inorganic arsenic, which is not bound, is problematic. This is found mainly in the groundwater of the areas where rice is grown. The rice grows in standing water, which is where the problems begin. If the water were flowing, the rice would contain little to no arsenic. For example, rice grown in the monsoon seasons, which does not require irrigation with groundwater, has a significantly lower arsenic content than conventional rice varieties irrigated with groundwater containing arsenic.

Healthy rice varieties include basmati as well as jasmine rice. Their consumption is completely safe, as they contain no more than one-third of the arsenic content of other rice varieties.

Is whole grain rice unhealthier than “normal” rice?

With regard to the arsenic content, this question can be answered quite clearly with yes. The reason is that the arsenic is mainly accumulated in the exterior, i.e. in the husk of the rice grain, and not in the interior. Hulling the rice grains can reduce the arsenic content by about eighty percent, making the whole grain version the unhealthier one. But even here, the basmati as well as jasmine rice are harmless, because in these varieties the difference between the outside and inside of the rice grain is very small.

Wash the arsenic from rice

To clean the rice, it can be washed properly with cold water about two to three times before cooking until the water becomes clear. Provided that no milky water remains, the arsenic content in the rice is very low and therefore harmless.

Basically, the arsenic content in rice is not so high that you can get sick from it immediately. Well-grown rice, preferably of organic quality, which has been cultivated in flowing waters, is a valuable and indispensable food. Basmati and jasmine rice require far fewer additives during cultivation than other varieties such as long-grain rice. If you like to eat rice, it is best to resort to fragrant rice varieties, as they are much healthier and more digestible.

A good detoxification system

In addition to choosing a good type of rice, it is important to have a good detoxification system in your own body. The body’s ability to eliminate toxic substances should always be ensured. It is therefore just as important to take care to supply the body with as few toxins as possible, as it is to take care that the toxins are led out of the body again. If you want to know in more detail how this works, feel free to check out our free three-part course on YouTube about heavy metals. This explains exactly how the detoxification system in our body works.
