HEXAGONAL WATER: THE KEY TO BETTER HEALTH?

Structured or hexagonal water has received increasing attention in recent years, especially for its potential health benefits and effects on biological systems. Over the past 50 years, prominent scientists such as Dr. Mu Shik Jhon, Dr. Gerald H. Pollack, Marco Bischof, Franziska Rohner, H. H. G. Jellinek, G. Wilse Robinson, C. H. Cho, and Prof. Martin Chaplin have contributed to the research of hexagonal water. However, the term "hexagonal water" only became known through the work of Dr. Gerald H. Pollack of the University of Washington and his 2013 publication "The Fourth Phase of Water." Since then, the term hexagonal water has been synonymous with high-quality water, not only in a scientific context, but especially in the field of water filter system providers. In this article, we will look at the science behind structured water and examine how it can affect biological systems.

The history of hexagonal water

The origin of the term "hexagonal water" goes back to the scientific research of the molecular structure of water. The modern use of the term is closely linked to the South Korean chemist Dr. Mu Shik Jhon (1932-2004). In the 1960s, he began to investigate the molecular properties of water and its role in biological systems. Dr. Jhon conducted extensive research on the structure of water. His work led to the discovery that water can be organized in hexagonal clusters, which enable better hydration and metabolic processes in the body than conventional water.

Modern research on structured water

Research on structured water has evolved since Dr. Jhon's work, and there are now many different approaches and models for studying the structure of water. The numerous studies and papers that have been carried out by other scientists over the years suggest that hexagonal water may indeed play an important role in biological systems. The benefits of hexagonal water range from supporting metabolism and detoxification to improving immune functions.

The study "Water Structures and Their Biological Significance" by Marco Bischof and Franziska Rohner from 1992 provides further insights into the importance of structured water for biological systems. They discovered that structured water plays a crucial role in cell communication, metabolism, and the overall function of biological systems.

The work of H. H. G. Jellinek from 1971, "Water Structure at the Water-Polymer Interface," examined the interactions between water and polymer surfaces, emphasizing the importance of structured water in stabilizing protein structures and their activity. This provides further evidence for the potential health benefits of hexagonal water.

G. Wilse Robinson and C. H. Cho published their work "Role of Hydration Water in Protein Unfolding" in the Biophysical Journal in 1999. They investigated the role of hydration water in protein folding and found that structured water influences protein structure and stability. Protein folding is a critical step in the biological function of proteins, demonstrating that structured water can play an important role in biological systems.

To study structured water, scientists use various methods such as infrared spectroscopy, magnetic nuclear resonance, and Raman spectroscopy. These techniques make it possible to investigate the molecular structure and dynamics of water.

Of particular note is the work of Prof. Martin Chaplin from South Bank University in London, a leading expert in the field of the (molecular) structure of water. He has further deepened our understanding of structured water. Chaplin investigated the properties of water molecules and their structuring, especially in the context of biological systems. His research confirms that structured water plays an important role in the stabilization and function of biological molecules, especially proteins.

The latest and most well-known research comes from Dr. Gerald H. Pollack of the University of Washington, a renowned researcher in the field of water science. In his studies, he identified another phase of water, called the Exclusion Zone (EZ). This EZ water has a higher viscosity, a negative electrical charge state, and an ordered hexagonal structure. He called it "the fourth phase of water." His discovery is shaping today's narrative on the structuring ability of water and has revived scientific discourse. Since 2018, Dr. Pollack has organized the annual International Water Conference, where renowned scientists come together to exchange ideas and report on current research.

In his experiments, Dr. Pollack used UV absorption spectroscopy to investigate the "Exclusion Zone (EZ) Water" or "Fourth Phase of Water." UV absorption spectroscopy measures the absorption of ultraviolet light by a sample to obtain information about its molecular structure and dynamics. In his experiments, Pollack examined water samples that were in contact with hydrophilic surfaces such as Nafion membranes or gel surfaces and found that water, which he called "Exclusion Zone (EZ) Water" or "Fourth Phase of Water," exhibited a significant adsorption spectrum. This phase of water is more ordered than normal liquid water and exhibits some unique physical properties that distinguish it from normal water.

Interestingly, the research results of Dr. rer. nat. W. Ludwig, which he carried out on UMH-energized water as early as 1999, show interesting parallels to the investigations of Dr. Gerald H. Pollack. In addition to low- and high-frequency measurements, Dr. Ludwig also used UV absorption spectroscopy to analyze the properties of water in his investigations. Dr. Ludwig found in his investigations that water energized with UMH devices also exhibits a significant absorption spectrum. If one compares the two graphical evaluations of UV absorption spectroscopy by Pollack and Ludwig, an almost congruent result is shown. This suggests that Dr. Pollack's investigations have indirectly confirmed or continued Dr. Ludwig's investigations, thus contributing to the further scientific substantiation of the existence of structured water phases.

The works of Dr. Ludwig and Dr. Pollack show that water can form ordered structures under certain conditions that differ from the ordinary liquid phase. These findings are important for understanding the role of water in biological systems and could also be incorporated into the development of technologies for the production of structured water, as used in the UMH devices used by LEOGANT.

Summary

In summary, scientific research on hexagonal water and its importance for biological systems is steadily increasing. The work of Dr. Mu Shik Jhon, Dr. Gerald H. Pollack, Marco Bischof, Franziska Rohner, H. H. G. Jellinek, G. Wilse Robinson, C. H. Cho have all contributed to expanding our understanding of structured water and its potential health benefits. The health benefits of hexagonal water have been investigated in various studies. These include improved hydration, more efficient metabolism, and improved immune function. The high energy capacity of hexagonal water also supports the removal of metabolic end products and toxins from the body. Research shows that structured water plays an important role in stabilizing protein structures and their activity, which is crucial for maintaining the health and function of biological systems.

Final thoughts

The scientific research behind the concept of hexagonal water is complex and still evolving. While there is considerable evidence that structured water has biological significance, the question of whether and how hexagonal water actually offers health benefits has not yet been conclusively clarified. Further research is needed to obtain a clearer picture of the role of structured water in biological systems.

It is advisable to view statements about structured or hexagonal water with a healthy dose of skepticism, as there is still no standardized method for detecting hexagonal water. Although almost all providers of so-called hexagonal water refer to Dr. Pollack, it is important to note that Pollack himself does not explicitly use the term "hexagonal water." Instead, he used the term "Exclusion Zone (EZ) Water" or "Fourth Phase of Water" to refer to a specific phase of water that he identified in his studies.

We will continue to follow the latest scientific findings in this field and hope that future research will further investigate the importance of structured water and its health benefits, thus deepening our understanding of this fascinating phenomenon.
