I've heard so many different things about this water from it's a cleanse of sorts to lowering blood pressure. Anyone have any input on this?

There is suppose to be a seminar coming up here in San Antonio regarding this water this month. A guy we know is selling it and was plugging it around the neighborhood. That's why I posted it on here.

Water that lowers blood pressure? If it's water, it's H2O. If it's clean, it's H2O. If it has additives, it's not clean and not H2O. How can water lower blood pressure? If you are severly dehaydrated, your blood will be short of H2O and thicker. If you drink water to reduce dehydration, the blood thins. Blood pressure down. If your so dehydrated that your BP is elevated, then you are in trouble medically. Any water will suffice to maintain life.

Don't laugh too hard...one of my customers got convinced that this was the "coming thing" - he invested over $250k into a facility to bottle this stuff...THEN did his research. Little too late. Fortunately, over 100k was equipment I was supposed to be supplying - when he called to inquire the cost to cancel, I told him that I'd not proceeded on any of the equipment yet because he was looking at at least 3 more months before they'd be ready for the water system, and that I'd cancel the order n/c. The guy rennovating his building wasn't quite so easy to work with...

Yep, it's a scam!

In the long run, the ONLY way to lower your blood pressure is to LOSE WEIGHT by reducing food portion sizes and watch what you are eating! Reducing salt intake also will lower it so keep your sodium intake very low.

More weight=more work for the heart=higher blood pressure.

Although....not everyone who has high blood pressure is obese or overweight but the vast majority who do have high blood pressure are overweight or obese.

From everything I've been able to see/read about this.....I'd put it right up there alongside snake oil an' air hooks. Personally, I'm looking to see 'em end up with all kinds of issues once they hit the "radar" of the feds - but usually when that happens, they go back underground, let the furor die down and then come back out with a slightly modified marketing plan.
