Carbon Activated Water (CAW): A Better Wetter
October 30th, 2006
Remember Willard Water? Back in 1980, Dr. Willard appeared on 60 Minutes, demonstrating his special Catalyst Activated Water (CAW), which, he said, was water that had been altered on a molecular level (through a natural process) to be more absorbent…in lay terms…wetter water.
His water was said to be more effective in quenching thirst, fighting dehydration, treating burns, and is just better water in most applications. But as much as Willard may want to get a lock on the activated water market, the fact is, nature has been altering the molecular structure of water since the beginning of our planet. And the secret of manually “activating” water by adding a natural catalyst has been around for thousands of years. The main substance used in enhanced water is activated carbon.
Yes carbon. Like the carbon from burnt wood. In fact, wood carbon is one of the many carbons commonly used to activate water for purification and enhancement. Another common carbon source is lignite, which is a carbon that comes from fossilized plant and animal matter. This is said to be one of the worst carbon sources due to its high ash content and relatively low “surface area” of the molecules. The best carbon sources for water activation come from coal and coconut shells.
The idea is that the carbon adds particles to the water that increase the surface area of the molecules, thereby adding more absorptive powers. This means that the water can bring into the body more minerals and other elements, giving you a cleaner water and a more potent source of nutrients.
Carbon Activated Water (CAW) is used by most large livestock producers for healthier animals and it has been found to stimulate the growth of plants. Seems our feed animals get better treatment than we do. So far, only a handful of municipalities in the United States have started using CAW for water treatment. But you can find carbon sources for your own water enhancement. Just look around on the Internet…and be prepared to buy enough for a large herd.
