Hi, I am a first year pharmacy student who works at a compounding pharmacy that actually sells the Enagic machines that produce this water and provides the water for people to try for free.

I can tell you that there are not any scientific studies done in the US to my knowledge. This water of course you know was developed by the Japanese and is an approved medical device there. It has also been approved as a medical device in Canada now.

The headaches are previous writer mentioned are a side effect of the detoxification process. If you continue to drink the water you will continue to be relieved of your acid reflux and arthritis because these conditions are due to the acidity of your body.

When I first started drinking the water I actually got a buzz for a minute or so after drinking it and I thought that was interesting.

In further response to scientific evidence I don't know of any peer reviewed journals, but there is a book by a Japanese doctor that was just published entitled, "The Enzyme Factor" by Hiromi Shinya. He writes about how he uses Kangen water in combination with other things to CURE cancer and other diseases. Maybe that book can lead you to some answers that you want or at least lead you to some other sources of information.
