Bone Density Improvement Measured

77-Year Old Improves Bone Density

Hello, my name is Greta DeHart. I am Anne DeHart’s sister-in-law.

I got my SD501 Kangen Water™ generator in June of 2008. I began drinking the 8.5 pH water… then worked up to 9.5 pH… but only drank it when I thought about it. Then, I learned I should be drinking 4 glasses of Kangen Water™ every morning 45 minutes before eating. That took some doing… two glasses were easy, but getting the other two down took a bit of doing. However, now that my body has gotten used to getting its four glass “flush” every morning, it is quite unsatisfied if it does not get its water! A couple of times, when I have had an early appointment and could not drink before I left, my body fussed until I got back home and drank my quart! -- Today, I drink a total of about three quarts to a gallon a day. I had a Dexa Scan (bone density scan) back on July 19, 2007 and my doctor thought it was time for me to have another. So I had a new Dexa Scan on January 27th 2009. When I went in to get the results, my doctor greeted me, saying, “This is totally unprecedented! Things like this just don’t happen!” This really unnerved me, and I was afraid of what I might hear next! It turned out that he was overwhelmed by my DexaScan results:

Bone mineral density of the lumbar spine (L1-L4) is 1.126 gm/cm2, T score -0.6 and Z score 1.1. These values are in the normal range and demonstrate a 3.9% improvement compared to the previous exam. Prior density was 1.084 gm/cm2. I am 77 years old, and ... I guess I am the first 77-year-old patient he has seen whose bone density has gone UP at this stage of my life! Isn't that wonderful?
