How activated (ionized) water was invented
Activated water was invented at the Tashkent Gas Scientific Research Institute, lead by prof.dr.S.Aliokhin (now member of Academy of Sciences). The researchers were looking for a new emulsion. During the experiments in the laboratory, in those days led by engineer V.Blakhir (now member of Academy of Sciences) they were performing water electrolysis in a vessel separated into two sections by a partition - membrane made from special material, that would allow the ions to pass through but prevent water from mixing up. And it turned out, that during the electrolysis process in such a vessel, the water acquired new properties: on the positive electrode side (anode) it became acidic with positive charge, and on the negative side (cathode) it became alkaline with negative charge. The waters generated in such a way were placed in separate flasks and it turned out that such water maintains such qualities for quite long period of time.
Experiments were continued. Soon the curative effect of activated water was noticed, and the use for sterilisation of medical instruments and healing post surgery wounds. The results obtained proved to be very positive. Later, activated water was used to water cotton and it was noted that alkaline water promoted its growth and acidic water was very good for disinfecting of soil, and etc.
Prompt healing of surgery incisions, experiments with cotton, etc., -the results reminded stories of fairy tales about live and liveless water and very soon the alkaline water was named as live water, and acidic - liveless water. The new properties of such water were so interesting and unexpected, that researchers made more than 100 inventions. Quite soon activated water became widely used in Japan and they did not grudge funding for development of this preparation. Little by little more recipes on how to apply such water in household and industry appeared.
At present activated water is used in Japan, India, Israel, Germany, Austria, Poland, Bulgaria, Russia, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia and others. It has been found that such water is less toxic and could be used for internal and external applications. In Japan and Uzbekistan activated water is legally recognised as remedial means.
In Lithuania the BURBULIUKAS company from Panevėžys is producing water ionizers (electrolysers) “PTV”. There are three modifications of such electrolysers: for production of activated or silvered water (see Chapter 7) or both. These appliances are simple and it easy to operate them, they are compact and economic. Depending on the modification within 20 to 30 minutes it is possible generate 1,4 l of activated water or within 2 to 3 seconds - 1,5 l of silvered water.
Interest in activated (ionized) water is growing. This can be witnessed by two international seminars held in Moscow in 1997 and 2001, where scientists form 18 countries were discussing issues of electrochemical activation of water, practical application of not only in medicine, but also in industries requiring cleanness.
