About Water
[WWW]The Water Crystals of Masaru Emoto
[WWW]Water is not the Same in Our Bodies "Water, as we know it, does not exist within our bodies," said Martin Gruebele, a William H. and Janet Lycan Professor of Chemistry at the University of Illinois. "Water in our bodies has different physical properties from ordinary bulk water, because of the presence of proteins and other biomolecules. Proteins change the properties of water to perform particular tasks in different parts of our cells."

Salt, in some brands of single serving packets, is ground to a fine powder so that it delivers to the blood system with a drug like impact.
