Important note:
We have translated Chapter 7 from the book by Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Dina Ashbach, “Living and Dead Water — the Newest Medicine of Our Time.” We think this information will be useful to you. However, this does not mean that we agree with Professor Dina Ashbach on everything. Perhaps, if you follow the book’s recommendations precisely, you will achieve the desired result. We do not know.

But we know that most people who have started drinking living water at least once continue taking it and feel much better. Everything depends on you!
We hope that living water will prolong your life and bring you health and joy. With great respect, the website administration.

Diabetes mellitus is a disease of the endocrine system in which a relative or actual deficiency of the hormone insulin develops. Insulin’s interaction with the body’s cells is disrupted, resulting in a sustained rise in blood glucose. There are mainly two forms of diabetes: the first is insulin-dependent and the second is non-insulin-dependent. To establish how “living water,” or catholyte, affects patients with diabetes, groups with both forms were observed. They included patients taking oral glucose-lowering medicines and insulin-dependent patients receiving medicines by injection.

The first group consisted of patients who received catholyte with trace elements alongside conventional treatment. They drank “living water” after meals in an amount of 10–12 mL per 1 kg of body weight, totaling 700–900 mL a day. Their entire daily supply of catholyte was prepared in the morning. Minerals and trace elements were added to the water and activated. The mineral content differed for patients with type I and type II diabetes. The minerals and trace elements used to treat diabetes are described below.

The second group consisted of patients treated only by conventional methods, with insulin or other medicines. Alongside conventional treatment, the third group received “living water” made from ordinary tap water, without minerals or trace elements. Study outcomes were assessed using the following criteria: improved general condition, reduced general weakness and need for water, less leg pain and paresthesia, and increased energy and capacity for work. At the same time, changes in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, which are vital for patients with diabetes, were monitored systematically. Fasting glucose in capillary blood ranges from 3.5 to 6.4 mmol/L, or from 60 to 125 mg/dm. This reading is stable, although it may change under the influence of the body’s condition at that moment. Nervous tension and stress, alcohol consumed the day before, or a slice of cake significantly affect blood glucose.

In diabetes mellitus, when insulin is deficient, glucose cannot fully enter the cells. Most of it circulates in the bloodstream, where it forms a chemical compound with hemoglobin in red blood cells. This creates a new compound, glycated hemoglobin. Since red blood cells live for 120 days, measuring glycated hemoglobin provides reliable information about the patient’s condition over the next three months. Glucose that remains in the blood for a long time oxidizes and forms chemical bonds with proteins in the cell membranes of blood vessel walls. This is the criterion that characterizes the adequacy of treatment.

As noted above, the amount of glycated hemoglobin indicates the risk of diabetes complications. If treatment in a patient with type II diabetes achieves fasting blood glucose below 6.1 mmol/L, post-meal glucose below 7.5 mmol/L, and glycated hemoglobin below 6.5%, the risk of developing microangiopathy, or damage to small blood vessels, is lower. It can be said that for the next 10–15 years the patient is not threatened by loss of vision, amputation of the lower limbs, or a whole range of other problems.

Reduced need for medication
The need for medication was calculated as a percentage, with the dose before catholyte treatment set at 100%. While taking “living water,” medication doses could be reduced to 35% in patients with type I diabetes and to 70% in patients with type II diabetes. These data confirm that catholyte treatment improves the interaction between the cell membrane and insulin. Insulin production increases in patients with type II diabetes. It is difficult to explain how a similar effect was achieved in type I diabetes, because beta cells in insulin-dependent patients are considered destroyed and insulin is not produced. However, clinical studies and experimental data from Japanese scientists established that this result can be achieved with catholyte treatment.

Cholesterol level
Cholesterol is a natural lipid found in the membranes of all animal cells. The body produces 80% of cholesterol, in the liver, intestines, kidneys, adrenal glands, and reproductive organs. The remaining 20% comes from food. Widespread negative publicity has led many people to regard cholesterol as harmful. In fact, this is not so. Cholesterol performs many important functions, including maintaining the strength and stability of the cell membrane. It is necessary for vitamin D synthesis and participates in the synthesis of many hormones: aldosterone, testosterone, estrogens, progesterone, cortisol, and cortisone. Recently, an important role for cholesterol in protection against cancer has been discovered. Cholesterol participates in normal brain and immune-system function. It has been established that cholesterol is not a necessary cause of atherosclerosis. Conversely, much evidence has been found that taking cholesterol-lowering drugs increases the likelihood of cancer and mental illness. Maintaining a normal amount of cholesterol in the blood is important. The quantities of so-called “good,” high-density cholesterol and “bad,” low-density cholesterol must also be regulated. Density depends on the protein in which cholesterol is “packaged.” Like other fats, cholesterol does not dissolve in water, or blood, and cannot move around, so the body “packages” it in a protein shell. A lipoprotein complex forms, and it is transported in this form. This carrier protein determines whether cholesterol forms atherosclerotic deposits or is transported normally to the liver for processing. Several kinds of carrier protein differ in molecular weight and cholesterol solubility, meaning the protein’s ability to release cholesterol crystals. Carrier proteins can be high-molecular-weight, or “good”; low-molecular-weight, or “bad”; and very low-molecular-weight. High-molecular-weight lipoproteins, the “good” ones, dissolve easily and readily remove cholesterol as waste. They therefore protect blood vessels against atherosclerotic changes and are antiatherogenic. Antiatherogenic lipoproteins transport cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver for further processing. Eventually they are eliminated from the body as bile acids. The higher the body’s content of high-molecular-weight lipoproteins, the better. Low-molecular-weight lipoproteins, the “bad” ones, dissolve poorly and release cholesterol in crystalline form. They also form atherosclerotic plaques in blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases. Reducing the concentration of low-density lipoproteins is an important factor in improving the condition of a person with diabetes. Ideally, the amount of “bad,” low-molecular-weight lipoproteins in the body of a person with diabetes is below 70 mg/dL. However, this level is rarely achieved in adults. More often, a normal result achieved is below 100 mL/dL. Specifically, for men it is 2.25–4.82 mmol/L, and for women 1.92–4.51 mmol/L.

Change in blood pressure
Up to 70–80% of patients with diabetes have arterial hypertension, and conversely, more than 60% of hypertension cases result in hyperinsulinism and insulin resistance. The combination of hypertension and diabetes is very dangerous because cardiovascular complications, primarily stroke and myocardial infarction, lead to a fatal outcome. Blood pressure measures the force with which blood flow acts on the walls of the aorta. Elevated blood pressure means that the heart is working under greater strain than usual. The aorta then experiences maximum tension and the risk of cardiovascular disease is high. A person with diabetes needs to maintain a blood pressure of 120–130/80–85 mmHg. Statistics establish that maintaining blood pressure at this level provides a chance to prolong life.

How the condition of patients with diabetes changes when they take living water enriched with trace elements
Patients with type I and type II diabetes who received “living water” enriched with trace elements showed a significant improvement in their condition after a few days: general weakness disappeared and their capacity for work increased. The improvement was particularly noticeable in patients with reduced sensation in their limbs, leg muscle pain, and difficulty moving. After just two weeks, these patients’ leg pain and paresthesia disappeared, as did nighttime cramps in the calf muscles.

Reduction of glucose level in patients suffering from type II diabetes
In patients with type II diabetes, a change in glucose levels was noticed two weeks after catholyte treatment began. Blood glucose was checked before treatment, two weeks after treatment began, and one month after treatment ended. Checks were performed monthly for six months. The result achieved during one month of treatment usually lasted 5–6 months, after which blood glucose began to rise slightly. After 4–6 weeks of treatment with catholyte enriched with trace elements, a reduction in the initial average glucose level (175 mg/dL) is observed:

The figures above mean that if a patient with diabetes had a pretreatment blood glucose level of 175 mg/L, three months after catholyte treatment began the average glucose reading was within the normal range or slightly above its upper limit. These changes occurred while drug therapy was being reduced. Patients in the control group receiving only conventional treatment showed no reduction in glucose levels. Patients who received only “living water” without added trace elements also showed a decrease in glucose, but the effect was relatively weak and less lasting. A decrease was noticed only after four weeks of taking catholyte, by up to 11%. After 2–3 weeks, blood sugar returned to its original level.

Reduction of glucose level in patients suffering from type I diabetes
Type I diabetes is much less common than type II diabetes. People with type I diabetes account for 10% of patients with diabetes. Treatment also reduced fasting glucose levels in type I diabetics, although improvement was achieved two weeks after treatment began. Overall, blood glucose readings following treatment were better in these patients than in patients with type II diabetes. From the start of catholyte treatment, the average blood glucose level of 143.5 mg/L changed as follows:

Thus, two weeks after treatment with catholyte enriched with trace elements begins, the pretreatment average glucose level of 143.5 mg/L normalizes and remains within the normal range for four months even after treatment ends. Patients who received only “living water” without trace elements also showed a decrease in sugar levels, but the effect was less pronounced and less lasting.

Reduction in blood glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients with type II diabetes
Patients with type II diabetes received catholyte enriched with trace elements alongside conventional treatment. The level of glycated hemoglobin in their blood decreased as early as one month after treatment at the maximum dose ended. The low level was maintained for several months after treatment ended:

All of the above means that the risk of complications is halved in patients who receive “living water” enriched with trace elements for 4–6 weeks. It has been calculated that a 0.9% decrease in blood glycated hemoglobin under the effect of catholyte leads to a reduction in the risk of complications:

Patients in the control group treated only with conventional methods showed no decrease in glycated hemoglobin. Patients who drank only “living water” without trace elements also showed no improvement in glycated hemoglobin levels.

Reduction in blood glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients with type I diabetes
These patients were treated with catholyte enriched with trace elements alongside conventional methods. This treatment method achieved a significant reduction in glycated hemoglobin, particularly two months after treatment ended:

Patients in the control group receiving only conventional treatment showed no reduction in glycated hemoglobin. No changes were observed in patients treated with catholyte without trace elements either.

Reducing the need for insulin therapy in patients with type II diabetes
Patients who received catholyte enriched with trace elements for 4–6 weeks showed a reduced need for insulin therapy. This means that catholyte and activated trace elements increased insulin productivity on the one hand and the sensitivity of the body’s cells to insulin on the other. This assertion is supported not only by clinical studies but also by experimental data from Japanese scientists. The reduced need for insulin had a positive effect on improving all blood parameters vital to a person with diabetes. The insulin requirement of patients with diabetes mellitus decreased from the start of treatment:

One month of treatment with catholyte enriched with trace elements proved sufficient to almost halve the amount of insulin for 5–6 months. Patients receiving only catholyte without trace elements also had their injections reduced and their test results improved. After repeat treatment with catholyte containing trace elements, most switched to tablets.

Reducing the need for insulin therapy in patients with type I diabetes
It is generally known that during treatment, the amount of insulin given to diabetics of this type is increased rather than reduced. Treatment with catholyte enriched with trace elements significantly reduced the number of insulin injections in patients with type I diabetes. This means that the patient’s body began producing insulin itself. Such a bold statement must be supported by clinical and experimental studies. Evidence of this was obtained in research by Japanese scientists. Their experiments confirmed the effectiveness of “living water” in patients with type I diabetes: insulin production increased and blood glucose decreased. There is a theory that the bodies of these patients contain so-called “dormant beta cells.” The treatment described above activated these dormant cells. Introducing an activated solution that changes the cell’s redox status into the body causes beta cells to become active, which in turn enables insulin production. Clearly, this reduces the need for insulin therapy:

Normally, total blood cholesterol should not exceed 200 mg/L. Although cholesterol’s important role in the body has recently been recognized, elevated cholesterol in people with diabetes creates a high risk of cardiovascular disease. These patients should therefore monitor cholesterol regularly, and if it rises, it is preferable to lower it with diet, “living water,” medicinal herbs, and other means rather than medication. Results of catholyte treatment in patients with type II diabetes are presented below. Before treatment, cholesterol was elevated, averaging 236 mg/L. After treatment with “living water” enriched with trace elements began, cholesterol gradually fell and approached normal within the first two months. The body maintained the low reading over the following four months. Patients receiving only conventional treatment showed no decrease in blood cholesterol. Cholesterol also decreased in the group receiving catholyte without trace elements. Catholyte enriched with trace elements had a substantial effect in patients with type I diabetes too. Their initial average cholesterol was 219.5 mg/L. After one month of treatment, they were observed for six months, during which cholesterol remained within the normal range. An identical result was achieved with pure catholyte without trace elements. “Living water” treatment noticeably reduced so-called “bad” cholesterol (LDL). Reducing these low-molecular-weight lipoproteins in patients with diabetes is an important sign of improvement. Catholyte lowered “bad” cholesterol in patients with both type I and type II diabetes. The positive effect achieved after one month of catholyte treatment lasted six months. Catholyte also had a positive effect on “good” cholesterol, raising it in patients with both types of diabetes. The normal level of high-molecular-weight lipoproteins in the human body should be above 40 mL/L.

Regulation of blood pressure
The combination of arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus is very dangerous because rapidly progressive cardiovascular disease is highly likely. Complications are the same for people with hypertension and diabetes because, in both cases, the target organs are the heart, central nervous system, kidneys, and blood vessels. Observation showed a decrease in blood pressure in patients with diabetes who drank “living water” enriched with trace elements. As mentioned above, several control groups of patients were observed. Arterial hypertension was recorded in 36% of patients with type II diabetes and in 22% of the control group with type I diabetes. After the treatment course, blood pressure normalized in 87% of patients with type II diabetes and 50% of those with type I diabetes, allowing doctors to reduce antihypertensive medication. Catholyte effectively regulates blood pressure not only in diabetes mellitus but also in various cardiovascular disorders. The following conclusion can be drawn: among 30 patients receiving catholyte with trace elements, every fourth or fifth person switched from insulin injections to tablets. The others reduced insulin therapy to 20–70%. Their general condition improved at the same time. Almost all patients’ blood test results were within the normal range: blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, and “bad” cholesterol decreased, while “good” cholesterol increased. In assessing treatment effectiveness, the following should be noted: normalization of high blood pressure, increased libido and sexual function in men, disappearance of pain in the muscles of the lower limbs, and improved liver function.

Macro- and trace elements used to treat diabetes mellitus
The facts above confirm that the hypoglycemic effect of catholyte is substantially related to the macro- and trace elements it contains. Ordinary catholyte made from plain tap water was not effective enough to regulate carbohydrate metabolism. However, it reduced cholesterol levels and regulated other aspects of lipid metabolism. Conversely, an aqueous solution of trace elements that are not in an activated state has no therapeutic properties. Information on the macro- and trace elements that affect the course of diabetes mellitus follows. We will highlight the most important of them.

Macroelements
Macroelements are minerals whose content in the human body should range from 25 g to 1 kg. They include sodium, chlorine, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, and sulfur.

Trace elements
Trace elements are minerals whose content in the human body is less than 0.015 g. They include manganese, copper, molybdenum, nickel, vanadium, tin, silicon, boron, cobalt, fluorine, iron, zinc, and selenium.

Calcium
The body should contain 1,200 g of calcium. Of this, 99% is located in the bones. Each day, 700 mg of calcium leaves bone tissue and the same amount must be replenished. Bone tissue is the body’s reserve of minerals, or alkalis. During acidosis, which always accompanies diabetes, the body needs a large alkaline reserve for neutralization reactions in highly acidic tissues. Bone tissue supplies the body with calcium and phosphorus. Calcium is foremost among the minerals that counter acids. Therefore, the fewer acid-forming foods in the diet, the healthier the teeth and skeletal system. Calcium improves cardiovascular health by lowering cholesterol and ensures stable sleep. Calcium deficiency is linked to bone pain during bad weather: falling atmospheric pressure causes calcium to leave the body rapidly, producing complaints, especially in older people.

Potassium
An indispensable macroelement for the normal function and vitality of every living cell. Cellular equilibrium is maintained through the balance between potassium and other electrolytes. Potassium deficiency can be caused not only by dietary problems but also by a particular disease or its treatment. Taking a normal amount of potassium regulates blood pressure. Potassium is so closely connected with the heart that measuring its blood level allows doctors to diagnose heart rhythm disturbances in advance.

Manganese (aspartate)
Manganese is necessary for the body to synthesize natural insulin, which in turn regulates sugar levels. It reduces the risk of atherosclerosis by strengthening arterial tissue and making arterial walls resistant to sclerotic plaques. Together with magnesium, it normalizes cholesterol and triglyceride levels and stabilizes “bad” cholesterol. Manganese is a very important trace element for protecting cells. Its concentration in the body is very small. Nevertheless, our daily diet often fails to provide even this small amount.

Chromium
The human body contains a small amount of chromium, averaging 5 mg, approximately 100 times less than its iron and zinc content. The body absorbs chromium from food: 0.5–0.7% from inorganic compounds and 25% from organic substances. Chromium deficiency in a person with diabetes can cause pain and reduced sensation in the limbs because circulation in small blood vessels and capillaries is impaired. Chromium stimulates insulin release. If the amount of chromium in the body is normal, the body requires relatively less insulin. Interestingly, chromium deficiency increases a person’s desire for sweets, but the more sugar the body receives, the more its chromium content decreases.

Selenium
Selenium deficiency reduces pancreatic activity, which in turn is an important factor in the development of diabetes. Selenium-containing preparations must be taken when treating diabetes. Selenium is part of the powerful antioxidant enzyme glutamine peroxidase.

Zinc
Zinc is essential for the synthesis and production of insulin and certain digestive enzymes. Zinc deficiency leads to serious consequences, including schizophrenia and mental disorders, diabetes, prostate adenoma, cataracts, heart disease, damage to the brain and nervous system, immune and digestive disorders, food allergies, and ulcerative diseases. Zinc deficiency causes toxic metals to accumulate and impairs wound healing. Osteoporosis, skin diseases, fatigue, loss of appetite, and hearing impairment may develop, and blood sugar imbalance is observed. Zinc and calcium “do not like” each other: taking calcium lowers zinc levels by almost 50%. Zinc is a component of an antioxidant enzyme. It is actively eliminated from the body during stress and under the influence of toxic metals, pesticides, and other environmental pollutants.

Magnesium
An adult body contains 25 g of magnesium. Magnesium activates more than 300 enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism. It participates actively in the production, binding, and activation of insulin, which is used in glucose processing. Magnesium is the most important element for the heart, particularly in people with cardiovascular disease. As soon as magnesium is included in the diet, patients show improved heart rhythm and circulation, and blood pressure normalizes. Magnesium reduces the myocardium’s oxygen requirement, relieves tension in blood vessels, and reduces the number of angina attacks; if an attack occurs, it will be milder. It controls platelet aggregation and reduces the likelihood of blood clots. Magnesium participates in the metabolism of adrenal hormones, which determine the body’s vigor. When magnesium is sufficient, these hormones are released early in the morning, keeping the body vigorous throughout the day. With magnesium deficiency, hormone release peaks in the evening, producing a surge of energy and increased working capacity from evening to midnight.

Using living water to treat hypertension
10–15% of cases of hypertension are related to stress and increased release of adrenaline, the stress hormone. Adrenaline speeds up the heart rate, sending more blood into the vessels and raising blood pressure. Over time, the body begins to perceive high blood pressure as normal. Mental and emotional overload is therefore an important risk factor for a person who is ill. For a long time, excessive consumption of table salt, NaCl or sodium chloride, was believed to raise blood pressure. Recent studies confirmed that only 50% of people with hypertension are sensitive to salt. The cause of the increase is not sodium, as previously believed, but the chloride anion. This is also supported by the fact that sodium in sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3, present in various mineral waters does not raise blood pressure. Excess calcium causes smooth muscle spasms, including in the muscles of blood vessel walls, resulting in increased pressure. Almost 10% of high blood pressure cases are a symptom of another disease. In kidney, renovascular, endocrine, and other disorders, this is symptomatic hypertension. In 20–25% of cases of hypertension, arterial sclerosis and atherosclerotic deposits on vessel walls occur. The vessel’s lumen narrows and its ability to carry blood decreases. To maintain normal circulation, the heart pumps blood into the vessels with greater force, raising blood pressure. Recent studies show that free radicals play an important role in atherosclerotic deposits. To lower blood pressure, a reserve of nitric oxide, NO, is necessary in the vascular endothelium. It relaxes smooth muscle in vessel walls, regulates blood pressure, and prevents platelet aggregation. Its deficiency raises blood pressure and causes ischemia in various organs and heart failure. This is why organic nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, are widely used in cardiology. Nitroglycerin releases NO in the body and helps it accumulate. Free radicals, especially superoxide, are an important factor in destroying NO. Superoxide reacts chemically with it and forms a toxic substance. In atherosclerosis, the endothelium of vessel walls cannot produce enough NO because the walls contain extensive atherosclerotic deposits. Hypertension and atherosclerosis are therefore inseparable. Catholyte treatment helps regulate blood pressure. The effectiveness of “living water” is explained by its ability to neutralize superoxide and by its content of trace elements that lower blood pressure. In hypertension, catholyte made from ordinary tap water without any additives is often sufficient. Preferably, it should be prepared 10 minutes before use. The patient should drink 1 L of “living water” per day before meals for 2–3 weeks.
