Abstract

 

The author had been a crusader in rehabilitation for much of his life following an initial life-altering MVA with a series of subsequent MVAs and AVPs.  Cumulative effects caused many health professionals to recognize an “eggshell” condition with total body pain (eventually formally diagnosed as fibromyalgia). 

 

In March 2004, an introduction to a scientific team responsible for an accidental discovery of Plasma Activated Water (PAW) allowed for personal consumption of this new type of water. The result: Unexpected rejuvenation from failing rehabilitation efforts.

 

Background and introduction to the condition

 

The myriad medical diagnoses and associated medications are recorded here:  http://abc4all.net/guiness.htm

 

Description of treatment

 

Many modalities of therapy had been employed prior to PAW consumption.  Difficulty breathing, for example, was correctly identified as failure of the breathing muscle apparatus to function (fibromyalgia), with physical therapy finally prescribed involving various muscle stretches.  Such therapy improved, however, did not eliminate the breathing difficulty with exercise (lightheadedness).

 

A series of various types of infections (some repeated) no longer responded to antibiotic therapy.  During one year, 30 doctor visits had failed to reverse declining physical trends excluding the partial improvements achieved with physical therapy.  Among the myriad medications being used, Ultram and ibuprofen (among others) were used for temporary pain relief with many other modalities sought out in the struggle for relief.

 

Once the consumption of PAW began, it was possible to record startling observations.  This process caused the author to coin terms over the 4-year period to describe the phenomena being noticed.  Starting with the development of “Unimagined Health Heights (UHH)™," this term proved insufficient to account for continued improvement.  Next noted were "Improvements Upon Improvements (IUI)™."  More recently, a series of “Benchmark Comparisons” have been made with a concomitant decision to continue exclusive consumption of PAW.

 

The present, third, case report is recorded nearly 2 years after the second of 2 previous case reports authorized for publication in June 2004 and June 2006.  The sequence of reports documents careful observations, supplemented by before/after medical laboratory data.  With the new lease on life that has been achieved, there now is a personal commitment to bring Global Humanitarian Relief to the world: http://www.prweb.com/printer.php?prid=430582

 

The author did not experience side effects of any type from consuming the water.  After starting with a mixture of 50% oxygenated water that was being consumed prior to PAW, when the obvious improvements were occurring, only PAW was then consumed. 

 

Guidelines were developed, however, since less than 1% of the hundreds of people with whom the water has been shared did report what might be considered “detoxification effects.”  These have been recorded in a “brochure” http://abc4all.net/brochure.doc developed to share with anyone trying the water for the first time (PAW is not available commercially).  The guidelines included examples such as persons with sensitive stomachs who needed to drink smaller amounts and build up over time, breaking out into a sweat, the need to urinate and/or defecate quickly (diarrhea developed in some instances).  Many noticed a “thirst” reaction upon drinking the water, with the need to drink even more PAW to counter such quasi-dehydration.  Changes in electrolyte balance have been identified and corrected.

A Case Report on the Effects of Consumption, Cessation of Consumption, and Reintroduction of Plasma Activated Water (PAW)

 

The simple drinking of Plasma Activated Water (PAW) water has eased muskuloskeletal pain quickly and consistently. Additionally topical application of PAW to facial actinic keratoses (a precancerous skin condition related to sun exposure) has resulted in a cure never before possible with traditional medical/dermatological treatment (freezing of lesions with liquid nitrogen). While one might lean towards the thought that PAW is “Miracle” Water, in fact, the sound scientific basis for its origin and application potential is well documented from the scientific developmental work and the research findings of Hydro Enterprises Inc.

 

Hydro Enterprises, Inc. (HEI) (http://www.hydroent.com) has been in research and development with Plasma Activated Water (PAW): "a breakthrough biotechnology that alters the molecular composition of tap water into an activated / monomolecular state or Plasma Activated Water (PAW) through an innovative non-thermal plasma process. The proprietary plasma process destroys and breaks down the molecular cluster of ordinary tap water changing the original composition into activated anti-bacterial water or PAW. The anti-bacterial features of PAW provide many valuable applications and cost saving solutions for the agriculture industry including the treatment, disinfecting, sanitizing and storage of food products."

 

Summary of Product Applications

 

"HEI believes that PAW is a very unique product. Currently, the USDA and FDA do not have any objections to its being tested. The reason for that is that the low pH and the high pH will change from the current composition into its regular form after five days. If someone drinks one glass of the low pH water, it will not harm them, and the high pH water is actually good for people to drink. HEI plans to market this proprietary technology to meet the existing needs in the agriculture and medical industries."

 

Clinical Applications for PAW

 

PAW has been made available to the author for his personal consumption. Clearly there is a need to enter into research that can explore and document the clinical benefits derived from both internal consumption of PAW and its topical application. For the present, the following represents a case report documenting the effects of consumption, cessation of consumption, and reintroduction of Plasma Activated Water (PAW) in one individual (the author).

 

Clinical History

 

The author has a long history of muskuloskeletal issues (fibromyalgia) many of which were caused by a series of both auto accidents and auto v. pedestrian accidents. Details of more recent episodes may be found here:  From Flying Over Cement to A Better Community For All (ABC4All)! (12/02):  http://prweb.com/releases/2002/12/prweb00000052829.php and From Flying Over Cement to A Better Community For All (ABC4All)! Case Report A Year Later: Left Pontine Stroke and Recovery with A Natural Discovery: Thermo-Peutic® for Total Body Therapy (01/04) http://prweb.com/releases/2004/01/prweb98516.php

 

First Consumption of PAW

 

The first consumption of PAW (a total of 3 gallons) began in 03/04. The PAW water was consumed as part of a mixture of water, 50% PAW and 50% water created via the Pi Mag Optimizer system of Nikken that had been recommended by a family physician (for more information about Pi Mag water, please see http://office.5pillars.com/e-nikken/pimag/optimizer.htm). This combined water was consumed over an approximately three-week period ending on 03/28/03.

 

Initial Effects of PAW Consumption    

 

Most noticeable was a recovery and return to a more “normal” mode of overall functioning. There was much more energy, a sense of greater health and wellness and an overall ability to increase exercise tolerance, activity level and intensity generally. With regard to muskuloskeletal complaints, the water consumption appeared to facilitate an improvement in motor functioning allowing first for the introduction of a walking exercise program. As time passed, there was a distinctly noticeable greater ease of walking. Longer periods of such walking exercise also became possible.

 

In early February 2004, still another car accident had occurred. This time the accident was one in which there was immediately noticeable pain and debilitation (especially on the right despite numbness from head to toe which was the result of the left pontine stroke that occurred in 11/03). There followed an emergency room evaluation and subsequent evaluation by a long-treating doctor that led to the diagnoses of “lumbar sprain/strain and cervical sprain/strain.” The recommendation was made for several months of soft tissue mobilization treatment, done first biweekly and later weekly. By 03/28/04, it was possible to report to the treating doctor that it appeared that a “status quo” had actually been reached. Thus the soft tissue mobilization treatment was proving very successful, especially following the introduction of PAW.

 

Another major effect, quite noticeable, was a loss of the appearance of any intermittent nasal stuffiness and/or throat phlegm that seemed to be related to an allergic response either to foods consumed or to the environment. While this symptom complex was not extreme, it was clearly noticeable at times. On some days, especially during early morning hours, there was a characteristic nasal stuffiness that might disappear as the day wore on. This had been true in spite of the consumption of multiple types of health supplements taken under a physician’s guidance.

 

Once the PAW had begun to be consumed, the “allergic” type reaction of nasal stuffiness and throat phlegm completely cleared up and never reappeared. There was a new sense of constant “pure breathing,” after this symptom complex completely disappeared. It was as if it was now possible for optimum bodily functioning. Any allergens or toxins to which the body might be exposed now were being “handled.”

 

Effects of Discontinuation of PAW Consumption

 

The overall “health height” which had been reached from the PAW consumption, was not completely apparent until the necessity arose to discontinue its use. Although the report of “status quo” had been made to the soft tissue treating doctor on 03/28/04, the supply of PAW had also run out on that same date. Efforts to acquire another supply of PAW were not immediately successful.

 

There then was an obvious gross deterioration in the overall level of functioning that became apparent almost immediately, but obviously over the next few days. Especially true was a return of musculoskeletal symptoms with a seemingly significant increase in muscle pain, stiffness, spasms, along with a general feeling of malaise.

 

This deterioration in functioning thereby highlighted just how high a “health height” had actually been reached before the discontinuation of PAW consumption. There was an apparent regression in physical condition, along with an increase in muskuloskeletal symptoms (headaches, neck pain, back pain including upper, middle and lower back), etc. This was so dramatic a contrast that it appeared that the symptoms experienced now seemed worse than those that had been occurring prior to the PAW consumption. More likely, the “contrast phenomenon” was simply great. The contrast with the deterioration that so quickly occurred without PAW was such that the return of symptoms may actually, in reality, have simply matched those being experienced before the positive effects of PAW were realized rather than their being subjectively perceived as “worse.”

 

In addition, there developed a feeling of “unwellness” that included the development of a low-grade fever on 03/29/04 (up to 100.6 degrees Fahrenheit by evening). 975 mg of Tylenol resulted in a significant sweat, as well as reduction in the fever. The latter, however, persisted into the next day, albeit at a lower level (99.0). Typically temperatures in the past have ranged around 97 degrees, rather than the so-called “normal” temperature of 98.6 degrees or such a low-grade fever.

 

During the day of 03/29/04, because of the degree of unwellness being experienced, there was motivation to see what availability could be arranged to acquire more PAW. It was then arranged that a personal trip to HEI Laboratory could be made on 03/30/04 where 3 more gallons of PAW were obtained.

 

Immediate Effect of the Reintroduction of PAW

 

After reintroducing the consumption of PAW (first two cupsful while at the HEI Lab) and later back to the usual 50% PAW and 50% Pi Mag, it was noticed that the low-grade fever (still 99 earlier in the evening) had later dropped to 98.7 (around 7:30 p.m.). Thus an immediate effect was noticed in the lessening of the low-grade fever that had been experienced over the prior two-day period. At 11 p.m., the temperature registered 97.9 degrees Fahrenheit. There has not been a return of the low-grade fever.

 

Additional Effects of the Reintroduction of PAW

 

By the latter part of the evening of 03/30/03, with regular consumption of the 50/50 mixture of Pi Mag water and PAW, a return of the easing of the muskuloskeletal symptoms was noted. There was less stiffness, greater ease of movement and an easing of pain throughout the back. The headache pain also began to disappear.

 

The taxi driver assigned for the trip back from the HEI laboratory was unusually rough in his driving habits, and the jostling of the taxi, particularly on rolling out of the driveway on departure, was sufficient to cause back pain and spasms. Even the normal effects of driving can cause muscle-related discomfort in everyday experience for those suffering from fibromyalgia.

 

Upon arrival home after the effort made to acquire more PAW, it was necessary to have a meal. Afterwards, there was sufficient exhaustion that set in, requiring a nap. It was after awakening from the nap mid evening (7:15 p.m.) that the start of the diminishment of muskuloskeletal symptomatology was becoming obvious. Thus there was a simultaneous drop in the low-grade fever, with its eventual disappearance, and there began a return of the increased sense of well-being that had been achieved with PAW prior to the discontinuation of its use.

 

Upon awakening the next morning, I immediately noticed a significantly greater degree of comfort of movement, particularly in my head, neck and back. It was as if the addition of PAW to one’s diet was the equivalent of adding a high-quality “internal lubricant” which was able to permit greater ease of movement and significant reduction in pain, despite existing injuries.

 

With this improvement underway, I was able to travel the 2 miles to the local treating soft tissue doctor whose beneficial methods of treatment were part of the “rehabilitation crusade” typifying the response to muskuloskeletal injuries over many years (original auto accident in 1966). Thus it was possible to report to this doctor the reinstatement of PAW and the improvement already being noticed.

A call had been made to this doctor’s office for an extra treatment session because of the severity of the returned pain/discomfort being experienced without PAW. When the appointment was made on 03/29/04, there was no way to know that with the reintroduction of PAW on 03/30/04, that the recovery process would already have begun, and that there would be so much improvement by the time of the appointment on 03/31/04.

 

“Miracle" Water?

 

Obviously more observations will be made over time in the coming days/weeks as additional PAW is consumed. It is hard to believe that the simple drinking of PAW water can ease muskuloskeletal pain so quickly and so consistently as has been the case. While one might lean towards the thought that PAW is “Miracle” Water, in fact, the sound scientific basis for its origin is well documented from the scientific developmental work and the research findings of HEI.

 

The healing capabilities of PAW can now be further documented. Many different types of benefits and applications of PAW are being studied by the scientific research team at HEI. While visiting the HEI Laboratory in Van Nuys, California on 03/30/04, the question was raised as to whether PAW could introduce such obvious and immediate benefits for someone so ridden with muskuloskeletal injuries. The Chief Scientist, Dr.George Paskalov’s response was simply to smile and acknowledge that PAW could certainly be of great assistance to those suffering from muskuloskeletal injuries.

Rejuvenation, Unimagined "Health Heights™," "Improvements Upon Improvements™" and a Decision to Continue Consumption: A Case Report Following Two Years of Consumption of Plasma Activated Water (PAW).

 

In March 2004, an introduction to a Team responsible for an accidental discovery of Plasma Activated Water (PAW) allowed for personal consumption of this new type of water. The result: Rejuvenation, the development of Unimagined "Health Heights™," then "Improvements Upon Improvements" and finally a Decision to Continue Consumption. The present case report is recorded two years following the original case report authorized for publication in June 2004: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/6/prweb127499.htm

 

Plasma Activated Water (PAW), its Uses and Global Impact are recorded here: http://ABC4All.net/pawsummary.htm

 

A coinage, "Unimagined Health Heights™" was created in order to describe the phenomena that were being noted during the period following consumption of Plasma Activated Water (PAW). As the months of consumption continued, however, even this new term was inadequate to describe, fully, what was being noticed. Thus it became necessary to create still another term that would fully convey what was transpiring. The term chosen seemed appropriate: "Improvements Upon Improvements (IUI)." Benefits were accumulating over time and were building, one upon the other. Thus the level of "Health Height™" may never be fully known, apparently, provided there is continued consumption of Plasma Activated Water (PAW).

 

There has been reversal of nearly every medical diagnosis (with one exception) present before PAW consumption. Further a decision was made to resume PAW consumption after a two-week hiatus.

 

Many medical diagnoses with associated prescription medications had been reversed. Discontinuing PAW and consuming instead another "healthy" water over a two-week period led to significant deterioration: Reduction in energy level, poor sleep, diminished exercise capacity, return of muskuloskeletal symptoms occured.

 

Resumption of the PAW quickly restored the improvements. Overnight sleep was solid and restful with only a few glasses of PAW consumed. In the first morning after PAW resumption, sciatica back pain considerably lessened, then disappeared. The feeling of well-being has returned.

 

A personal conclusion: In short, if it works, why change it? To experiment further at the expense of one’s personal well-being at this point seems, appropriately, to be out of further consideration.

 

The personal passion and commitment to share Plasma Activated Water (PAW) with the world can be understood in the context of the following:

 

* All of the "unimagined Health Heights™" which have been reached;

 

* Based on all of the "Improvements Upon Improvements (IUI)" which have been subsequently been noted;

 

* All of the reversals in previously diagnosed medical conditions which have been recorded;

 

* All of the now normal laboratory, X-ray and imaging study findings; and

 

* Now, in 06/06, subsequent to a two-week period of consumption of an alternative, high pH "healthy" water, with resulting deterioration as noted in the present case report leading to the renewed decision/commitment to facilitate bringing Plasma Activated Water (PAW) to the world.

 

Discussion

 

At the present writing (April 2008) it is more than 4 years since starting to consume PAW.  Repeated medical laboratory data over time continues to reconfirm the return to “normal.”  Recent tests, formerly positive, are now negative and include such clinical medical tests as:  Electrocardiogram (resting and exercise), Echocardiogram (resting and exercise), Measurement of Blood Pressure (now normal), Prostatic Specific Antigen (PSA) (now normal), Standard laboratory testing (CBC, UA, etc.).

 

Details of the medical diagnosis reversals, relevant laboratory data, former necessary medications, etc. may be found at http://abc4all.net/guiness.htm

 

A description of “Before” versus “After” phenomena, including the reports of two treating doctors, may be found at http://abc4all.net/before_after.htm  Included are 2 pictures, one from 2003 Driver’s License, the other taken in 06/2004 3 months after the start of PAW consumption.

 

What has evolved above and beyond the observations reported in the first two case reports is that the improvements have not ended with the achievement of “Unimagined Health Heights” and “Improvements Upon Improvements.”  A third term has been referenced to explain the continued and repeated confrontation with renewed capabilities:  “Benchmark Comparisons.”  This refers to the ability to do now what used to be physically impossible.

 

Examples abound.  Only four are provided here:

 

1.  We used to shop in a Whole Foods store in Redondo Beach, California.  This is a moderately sized store (compared to others) and was negotiable for us.  Together, my wife and I would do the shopping, come home with the groceries.  She would have to rest and then put the groceries away in spurts of activity interspersed with more rest.  One time we traveled a few additional miles to another Whole Foods Store.  This one, however, proved to be one of the largest stores, and shopping there required much more distance to traverse within the store in order to complete the shopping tasks.  That experienced led to the decision to shop only at the Redondo Beach store, as the other was too exhausting.  More than 2-1/2 years ago, we moved to the community with the larger store.  Since then we have shopped regularly at this store, come home with the groceries, and my wife then puts them away without any resting periods whatsoever.

 

2.  All the activity surrounding Plasma Activated Water (PAW) has included transporting the filled bottles of water (3 and 5 gallon sizes) as well as shipping water samples throughout USA/Canada.  It used to be necessary to request assistance in order to transport the 5-gallon containers of the water (3-gallon containers were handled).  The challenge of lifting and moving such heavy containers was not something that would have been advised for a person with two herniated disks (low back), neck osteophytes and other muskuloskeletal injuries.  However, with the continued rejuvenation process achieved since consuming PAW, it is now possible to lift and carry the 5-gallon containers filled with PAW.  This is done without strain and without pain!  No assistance needed!

 

3.  With the accrued benefits since consuming PAW, when recently severe right knee pain / clicking was experienced (having been among the first in the country to have a torn meniscus repaired arthroscopically when that type of surgery was being developed) such that it seemed it might be necessary to give up walking and/or to consider knee replacement surgery, an Herbal Scientist with whom I work shared this information about a natural supplement which has been shown to stimulate stem cell production: http://abc4all.stemtechbiz.com/Default.aspx

 

With the apparent benefit of consuming monomolecular water with superior absorption of anything ingested, after 2 weeks of taking the StemTech supplement, the SEVERE knee pain disappeared.  2 weeks later, the SEVERE clicking stopped entirely.  With this further renewal now, with no pain and no clicking, it has been possible to return to power walking: http://abc4all.net/powerwalk.mov  This is a person who used to faint and/or experience lightheadedness with inability to walk even a half a block without stopping and pausing 20 seconds to recover from the apparent inability for the breathing apparatus to work properly. 

 

4.  A new, recent diagnosis of a full thickness rotator cuff tear after a fall - R shoulder –was confirmed on MRI.  The orthopedist recommended surgery.  Instead of surgery, continued PAW consumption and the StemTech supplement have been concurrent with improvement in both the pain and dysfunction of the right shoulder.  Recent examination showed almost normal function with minor loss of strength, no pain with any portion of the exam.  All function relating to the right shoulder is experienced as normal.  A repeat MRI has not been obtained to see what it would show (no clinical reason to undergo an exam which therefore would not be covered by insurance).

 

CONCLUSION

 

While it is never possible to draw any conclusions from just one individual’s experience, the following is true.  It is not necessary to acquire any clinical experience or systematic study of the water at all in order to know, based on validity data already established by Hydro Enterprises, Inc., that the potential for Plasma Activated Water (PAW) to provide Global Humanitarian Relief exists.  This is easily seen from the Power Point Presentation:  "The Hydro Enterprises Story" http://abc4all.net/HydroEnterprisesStory.ppt  More information at the “Quick Review:” http://www.abc4all.net/pawquickreview.htm and in a thesis on PAW created for a degree in Psychobiological Medicine: http://abc4all.net/pawsummary.htm and  http://abc4all.net/jl.htm

 

In fact, since it became apparent that the grandson of one of the inventing team is the only child in his school that never gets sick, observations of the response to PAW have been received from hundreds of individuals.  The only conclusion that can be drawn is that clinical study in scientific and university laboratories can be done with PAW.  However, it is not necessary to wait for these results to come in before PAW is made available in any situation where one’s survival is compromised (lack of potable water) that exists in so many locations in the world.
