I wonder if we could just purchase the carbonic acid at chemical supply house and ozonate carbon block filtered water and have the same product.

Hi Donna,

That depends on who you believe. Dr. Volkov's book on Hydrogen Ions claims that there is an error in Dr. Flanagan's (Microhydrin) research.

Hydrogen ions–The Error of Drs. Flanagan and Microhydrin

Dr. Vladimir Volkov

25. Flanagans. Microhydrin

It is that classical case, when, having stepped on the right way, the researchers have turned on a side road.

I first learned about the doctors and Gale Flanagan in September, 2001, when the Russian magazine Moscow published December, 1994 their article "Hydrogen is a missing link of a chain leading to longevity". An article "Microhydrin" by Clinton , the president of corporation "Royal BodyCare", was there also.

The discovery of Flanagans, submitted to the Nobel committee, is directly connected with a surprising tribe, which lives in Pakistan, in the Hunza valley, which is called "an oasis of youth". Life duration of the inhabitants of this valley is 110-120 years. They never get sick, they look young and the process of aging proceeds more slowly in them, than in other people. The people of the Hunza valley play outdoor games up to hundred years, there were registered the cases, when the men of more than 100 years old became fathers.

It was assumed, that the secret of their longevity consists in the abnormal physical properties of the local water. During their researches Flanagans concluded that "the structure of water has a secret knowing which permits turning back the process of aging". "The tissues of a human organism contain a large reserve of hydrogen. The depletion of this reserve with age results in the development of aging process signs". "Hydrogen transport can be a missing factor in the search for the cause of the aging process development and a secret, how to slow it down. During the process of aging the cells of our organism lose water, and a hydrogen pool, protecting the cells from the harmful action of free radicals, becomes exhausted. As a matter of fact, all researchers of the longevity phenomenon agree that the free radicals bear the responsibility for aging".

"We can assert," said Flanagans, "that life actually is a turnover of hydrogen, and the riddle of life is in ‘the burning of hydrogen’".

The French scientist is Carrel received the Nobel Prize for keeping chicken heart cells alive for thirty four years. He said: "A cell itself is immortal. The point is just in a liquid medium (water), in which the cell is and in which it degenerates. Renew this medium periodically, give the cell all the necessary for its nutrition and, as far as we know, the beat of life can last forever".

According to the belief of Flanagan, "as the hydrogen bonds act as "glue", holding the molecules in a double spiral of DNA, these bonds can be activated and energized. It is well known, that in the process of our aging the convolutions of DNA spiral are rolled up tighter and tighter, losing their flexibility and elasticity. There is a hypothesis, that such compression of the convolutions of DNA spiral can reduce the potential amount of cell divisions. Now our cells are capable to divide only 50 times, then the process of their reproduction stops.

If we achieve a relaxation of convolutions of DNA spiral by the way of hydrogen bond activation in the DNA molecule, it can influence the regenerative ability of the cells of our organism. The spiral DNA is in a water medium and, hence, it is hydrated. The age compression of the spiral can be a consequence of hydrogen pool depletion, caused by the age displacement in an organism. The restoration of a rich supply of hydrogen can result in the natural unrolling of DNA spirals and restoration of their ability to stimulate the process of cell reproduction".

The negative atoms of hydrogen found in the water of the Hunza valley, in Flanagan’s opinion, are the most potent donors of electrons among those known in chemistry and the strongest acceptors of free radicals. On the market by the corporation "Royal BodyCare" is a food additive under the trade mark "microhydrin™".

According to the scientists' statement of the corporation "Royal BodyCare" the microhydrin:

1. Is the most potent antioxidant of free radicals;

2. Increases pH - an acid-base parameter of a liquid of the body cells - to the higher alkaline levels (pH - 8.5), that in the opinion of "Royal BodyCare" reduces the viability of bacteria and viruses;

3. Increases the electrical conduction that promotes the oxygen assimilation by the cells.

I am in agreement with the Flanagans in that part of their researches, in which they speak about the major and determining role of hydrogen in a human life and death. But...

Flanagans' "Microhydrin" is a donor of electrons by the way of negative hydrogen, which it contains. In the article of Clinton "Microhydrin" the following definition for the destroyers of cellular membranes, free radicals, is given: "Free radicals are the toxiferous compounds which have lost a negative electron, and represent the by-product of metabolic oxidation. They carry a positive charge and are characterized as unstable. Thus the free radicals have the ability to take an electron from the vitally important structures of a cell … an electron loss results in the damage of a cell…". There is no example of such positive free radical in the article. Characteristic of the antioxidants, one of which is "Microhydrin", is given there: "Antioxidant is a compound with one weakly bonded electron, which is easily given to a free radical, stabilizing and neutralizing its molecule and transforming it to a steady condition". Examples of the antioxidants are given, and the antioxidants vitamin E and vitamin C are placed in one series, in spite of the fact that vitamin E renders its antioxidative effect by the way of electrons and vitamin C by the way of protons flow.

Thus the fact that the most aggressive free radicals, which are the main destroyers of the cells, the hydroxyl radical (OH) and oxygen (O) radical, have not a positive charge, but the negative one, is completely ignored. And the experimentally confirmed definition of free radicals is diametrically opposite to that given above: "Free radicals are the kinetically independent particles having the unpaired electrons!!! The opinion, that a free radical is a molecule or its part, which has an unpaired electron (free valency), is prevalent. Those are already named oxygen and hydroxyl radicals. Moreover, the radicals are divided into positively charged (cation-radicals) and negatively charged (anion-radicals). But "the radical properties" in both cases are caused by a negative (free) electron. Therefore the definition of K. , given at that moment for the free radicals, does not correspond to the experimentally confirmed characteristics of the free radicals.

Well, the free radicals really need an electron to create the electron covalent bond or just for the stabilization, but the positive charges of a naked hydrogen ion, which is called a proton, which does not have an electron and which therefore has a positive!, not negative charge, attract them even stronger. Moreover, the basic mass of antioxidants is acids (vitamin C, lactic acid, haemoglobin acid, amino acids, fatty acids, bile acids, all endogenic acids of an organism and exogenous acids from the food). And an acid belongs to the protons, and no way to the negative ion of hydrogen. The protons neutralize the free radicals, joining to their molecules tightly and taking a free radical electron to be used by everything. The proton antioxidants are much stronger than the electron of the free radical, both by quantity and quality, because a positive charge of a proton is rather more attractive for the free radical electron than any other electrons.

The "forgetfulness" of Flanagans and K. in relation to the question on the cell ATP production is really amazing. Fairly giving the main role in this process to the hydrogen ions they hold back that the initiation of ATP production in a cell belongs to the positive hydrogen ions! And in another way, to the protons!! It is clear, because in the ATP production there are no negatively charged ions.

Flanagans and K. should know that P. Mitchel was given the Nobel Prize in 1978 for proving the main role of the positively charged hydrogen ions, protons, in the ATP production.

The following fact has been completely off screen: at the end of 60’s - the beginning of 70’s the Frenchman, A. Polikar, stated an idea that a normal cellular membrane has pH=5,0, and it is an acidic membrane and so it is the protons - positively charged hydrogen ions, which do not have electrons at all, and negative hydrogen ions are not in the equation.

One more question. The same K. , quoting the Nobel winner A. Saint-Georgy "None of electrons in the live systems are capable to move, if it is not accompanied with hydrogen". He obscures what kind of hydrogen A. Saint-Georgy speaks about. K. knows, that Saint-Georgy, speaking about hydrogen, means the positively charged hydrogen ions, the protons!

And the antioxidant abilities of the negative hydrogen ion are very doubtful. The fact is that the Light, which lightens each of us, brings an electron into an organism without any hydrogen. There is an opinion that the quanta of light in an organism are broken up into an electron and a positron. What’s the use of adding electrons, if we are bombarded by them every day? The electrons bring into an organism the oxygen, which we breathe with. But may be it is not enough?!

The Frenchmen, Jenerick and Gerard, have an opinion that we receive too many electrons. These researchers have measured the charge of a cancer cell in relation to a healthy cell and discovered that the charge of a cancer cell is twice higher than that of a normal one. And this charge is caused by the excess of electrons, which the Frenchmen are trying to find a way to destroy, to remove, to excrete, to neutralize and so on.

So why should we bring to an organism the additional electrons by the way of the negative hydrogen ions, when their excess threatens to cause cancer?

Besides, we shall ask the biochemists and biophysicists: how often do we see the negatively charged hydrogen ion in an organism? There is a question to K. and Flanagans: "So you, colleagues, have decided that Nature is less sharp than you and has started the production of positive hydrogen ions - protons - in a cell, instead of taking care about the negative hydrogen ions cherished by you (but not by Nature!!)?" You see the production of protons in a cell is called biological oxidation, and in another way, respiration. Respiration is a production of protons, but not negative hydrogen…

Respiration has another, more exact, name: "Dehydrogenation of the substrata with the help of oxygen". In other words, the dehydrogenation is a proton being taken from the substratum. The dehydrogenation process requires cellular water that results in aging, illnesses and death. The data are simple and monumental: a newborn has 86,8% of water of body weight, and an old man of 81 years old - only about 50%. Water is spent on respiration or production of the positively charged hydrogen ions, the protons. Nature does not need to produce the negative ions of hydrogen, it does not need them, and we do not need them, either. In an organism the function of life is carried out by the positively charged hydrogen ions - the protons:

· They neutralize the free radicals;

· They form the chemiosmotic potential on the membranes of mitochondria and initiate ATP production;

· They accompany electrons in a respiratory chain;

· The active oxygen in a respiratory chain attaches a proton, instead of an electron and only then is water formed;

· They carry out the protective antioxidative function in relation to minerals, electrolytes, vitamins of an organism;

· They are the indispensable participants of photosynthesis in a man.

Besides, taking out the green screen of Death, the biliverdin, the protons allow to synthesize the heme respiratory enzymes of cells, cytochromes, making our life long… And renewal the protons in an organism by the way of "Elixir of Youth" allows you to extend the limits of a human age up to 300 years.

And if the electron antioxidants are so good, then why the free radicals are not self-activated and self-neutralized at meeting each other, even if such meeting has taken place between the cation and the anion free radicals? But at the meeting with the proton both of them become neutralised.

The negative hydrogen can be easily produced on our elementary plant and is called the hydroxyl ion (OH). It is used by people for a long time independently and is called "Live water". It is a donor of the electrons, but is dangerous because of possible formation of the strongest oxidizer - a hydrogen peroxide H2O2.

What does actually happen in the Hunza valley? And why did the Flanagans want to increase the amount of negative hydrogen ions in the analogue of the Hunza water millions of times, if they managed to reproduce this water, which according to the assumption, provides health and longevity?

Not having all the information, we shall try on the basis of the available facts to make the assumption.

The water with special abnormal properties flows in the Hunza valley from high-mountainous glaciers. Flanagans said that the space rays consist of hydrogen protons by 87% and such high-mountainous glaciers could grasp the large amount of hydrogen. But again, we are talking about protons and not about the negative ions of hydrogen.

Collected in the top layers of the ice, the protons go to the Hunza valley with water to be taken into the organisms of people, providing them with health and longevity.

According to the reports of scientists, who studied the life of this tribe, people of this tribe eat, basically, fresh fruit and sheep cheese. It is interesting, that the inhabitants of a valley have a period, when fruits have not ripened yet - it is called "a hungry spring" and proceeds from two up to four months. At this time they eat almost nothing, they take a drink made from dried apricots once a day only. It is the realization of the biorhythm of Bioclock, isn't it?

But why Hunza people, having the water enriched with a proton and filling the proton deficiency, die at 110-120 years, whereas the life duration calculated on Biological clock of the Earth is 2.5 times longer?

The answer is, most likely, the following: one should not drink the water enriched with a proton of hydrogen constantly. Because, having the fourteen days half-life, the staying half of the proton accumulates in an organism, and at a certain stage it reaches a critical mass (see the chapter "Saturation of an organism with a proton")…

We should remember, that oxygen needs time to work in an organism, and a hydrogen may not give this time … Constantly drinking water enriched with protons, people of Hunza valley reduce a share of oxygen, that leads to the infringement of the equation of life 2H+= O-2 and they die.

Of course, until I visit the Hunza tribe and study not only water of their valley, but also them and their way of life, it is just a working hypothesis coming from Biological clock of the Earth.

Why did the Flanagans use the way of increasing of negative hydrogen ions amount in millions times in comparison with the original Hunza water? I can suppose the answer to this question may be simple.

Human blood is an alkaline medium. Blood becomes acidic only in an old age (by the way of fatty acids - donors of hydrogen). Proton’s create an acidic medium and consequently the Flanagans could not associate the acid - old age - with longevity. For that it is necessary to know Biological clock of the Earth, the green screen of Death and a man as a photosynthetic system. The negative hydrogen ions is an alkaline medium, and as the Flanagans have seen a basic role of hydrogen in prolongation of human life, they decided to increase the amount of negative hydrogen ions in millions times in water intended for the achievement of longevity.

As I have already told, having stepped on the right way, Flanagans have turned to aside road.

26. Experiments with mice by Doctor Kostenko

There is another example of when scientists get the surprising results experimentally, but can not explain them because of the absence of theory.

Recently on the Internet the report on the researches of Russian Doctor Kostenko has appeared. Kostenko believes, that the accumulation of "a mineral of death" - hydroxyapatite Ca5(PO4)3 OH+ by an organism if fundamental to aging. This mineral is formed during the vital activity of an organism just as a deposit in a teapot. Apatite is the main inorganic constituent of the deposits in vascular walls, the basic component of the firm formations in a human body.

In Kostenko’s opinion, the chronic diseases of an organism bringing it to death, are caused by the attempt of an organism to wash "the mineral of death" away from it. In the neutral medium an apatite is practically insoluble, and an organism has to fight with it with the help of autoacidation, which can be achieved with the help of … the illnesses. "The cancerous growth produces a lactic acid. In case of the immunity defects the destruction of an apatite is promoted by the products of the tissues’ disintegration. And so on, and so forth. The unpleasant indemnification comes from there, as: the less amount of cholesterol in the blood, the healthier the heart - the higher the risk of cancer, and vice versa. It means, that, if, for example, the victory over a cancer is gained, the average life duration will not increase - the place of cancer will be occupied by other illnesses."

Kostenko have broken the deadlock by the artificial acidation of an organism (for example, with the help of carbon dioxide), referring to the experiments of the physiologist Golodov I.I., doctor Bouteiko K.P. and to the experiments, which have been carried out by him together with other researchers.

" …I was periodically making the acid washing of the mice of the age more than one year in the medium enriched with CO2. The condition of their eyes, hair has improved, they have got the obvious, proved by the analysis, improvement of the DNA condition in comparison with the control group, i.e. the quantity of defects accumulating with age have decreased. The gain of average life duration was 131 percents, and four mice are in a good health for the fifth year, that corresponds to 220 human years approximately."

Kostenko also performed the experiments on himself, asserting that he has recovered from the chronic illnesses, looks younger and has improved his physical parameters etc.

So, how can the surprising results of Doctor Kostenko be explained?

Nothing surprising. Everything is simple. The acidation of living organism with CO2 promotes the carbonic acid production by an organism. And we have already known that a carbonic acid is the best donor of the hydrogen protons in an organism. Therefore, blood acidation by carbon dioxide results in the filling up of the hydrogen deficiency of an organism. And in the prolongation of life!
