Change Your Water, Change Your Life!
Ionized alkaline re
structured Kangen Water®
has the ability to hydrate your
body like no other beverage.
Sometimes people will ask
if they drink other fluids if it
is the same as drinking wa
ter. The answer is absolutely
NOT. So reach for hydrating
water instead of other bever
ages.
Here’s what Bob
McCauley writes in his book
“The Miraculous Proper
ties of Ionized Water” Soft
Drinks - Tasty, Refreshing
Poison. Carbonated soft
drinks are primarily water,
but they are the most dehy
drating substances that are
commonly consumed. (Note:
Many CEOs of soft drink and
fast food chains succumb to
cancer and heart disease at
relatively young ages.) Soft
drinks severely erode our
teeth. Soft drink consumption
has been linked to esophageal
cancer. The artificial sweet
ener aspartame found in diet
soft drinks has been linked
to birth defects, brain cancer,
emotional disorders, carpel
tunnel, diabetes and epilepsy.
When asked if they would
allow a product such as soft
drinks on the market, the
Food & Drug Administration
(FDA) was blunt in stating
that there was no possibility
they would allow it to be mar
keted it if were presented to
them today for approval. Soft
drinks are poison and should
be avoided at all costs.
Crippling Results of
Dehydration
Psychiatric illnesses
Ernestine Murray
such as Alzheimer ’s disease
are a sure sign of a lifetime of
chronic dehydration.
When sufficiently hydrated,
the brain functions closer to
its full capacity. When we fail
to drink enough water over a
lifetime, toxins begin to inter
fere with the brain’s delicate
neurochemical balance. Once
a single chemical reaction
in the brain is significantly
altered, the resulting ripple
effect will be felt throughout
the brain. The accumulation
of these events can lead to
brain diseases and imbalanc
es of all kinds, including clin
ical depression, schizophre
nia, bipolar disorder, Lewy
Body Disease (LBD) and oth
er dementia-related diseases.
Reversing these psychiatric
conditions is not easy, but can
be done by following a strict
100% diet of raw foods, using
infrared rays and drinking 1-2
gallons of Ionized Water each
day.
Doctors often mis-
diagnose patients because
dehydration of the organs
results in symptoms that mis
lead the average medical pro
fessional who isn’t trained to
recognize dehydration or the
importance of water to the
human body. In fact, water
is barely mentioned in med
ical school. If people were
to simply drink enough water
and keep their bodies prop
erly hydrated, 60-80% of the
chronic disease in our society
would be seriously abated if
not completely absent!
Under normal ev
eryday conditions, the av
erage adult requires 1.5-2.0
gallons of water each day
if they expect to be healthy.
One gallon of water each day
will only meet our basic hy
dration and internal cleansing
needs, while consuming half
our weight in ounces only re
plenishes the amount of wa
ter we lose daily. The extra
is used to flush our digestive
tract between meals.
So please, open your
mind, open your mouth and
try it. Pick up FREE samples
at our Wellness Clinics. Also
bring containers for your
samples and the water you are
presently dinking to be test
ed. RSVP to oggisavannah@

‘Stop And Frisk’
Unconstitutional Racial Profiling
By Ben Jealous
“No one should
live in fear of being stopped
whenever he leaves his home
to go about the activities of
daily life.”
Those words came
from U.S. District Court
Judge Shira Scheindlin in
her fiery 195-page ruling on
the NYPD’s “stop-and-frisk”
program. After a two-month
trial featuring dozens of inter
views and statistical analysis
of nearly five million police
stops, Judge Scheindlin con
cluded what so many already
knew: New York City’s stop-
and-frisk is an unconstitution
al racial profiling program.
Many of us celebrat
ed her decision in Floyd v.
City of New York this week,
but this is just one victory in
an ongoing fight against ra
cial profiling. Within hours of
the decision, New York City
Mayor Michael Bloomberg
announced that he would ap
peal the case.
However, there are
a number of concrete steps
that are being taken to help
fight racial profiling in New
York City, across the federal
government, and on the state
level.
First, a diverse co
alition in New York City is
supporting the Community
Safety Act (CSA). The CSA
is a set of two bills - one
would effectively ban racial
profiling by the NYPD, while
the other would appoint an
Inspector General to create
greater oversight and allow
victims of stop-and-frisk to
hold police accountable for
profiling. The New York
Ben Jealous
City Council passed the CSA
last month despite misinfor
mation and fear tactics by
the opposition, but Mayor
Bloomberg made good on his
promise to veto the bill. It is
now up to the City Council
members to stand by their
principles and override the
veto with a minimum of 34
votes.
Second, last month
members of Congress re-in
troduced the End Racial Pro
filing Act of 2013 (ERPA).
The bill comprehensively ad
dresses racial profiling by law
enforcement on a number of
levels: by defining the prob
lem, explicitly banning racial
profiling, mandating data
collection to better under
stand the problem, requiring
law enforcement training on
racial profiling, and holding
federal officers accountable.
The bill has 15 co-sponsors
in the Senate and 39 in the
House, and the national con
versation around racial pro
filing has given it significant
momentum.
Finally, a number of
NAACP chapters and other
grassroots groups have reen
ergized the fight to end racial
profiling and other discrimi
natory laws on the state and
local level. “Trayvon’s Law”
is a set of guidelines for or
ganizers who want to end
the flawed policies that led
to Trayvon Martin’s death
and the inability of the sys
tem to hold anyone account
able. It provides a legislative
basis for laws to ban racial
profiling, repeal stand your
ground-type laws, and cre
ate accountability for law
enforcement and community
watch groups.
A group of students
called the Dream Defenders
have taken Trayvon’s Law to
heart. For the last four weeks,
they have camped out in front
of Florida Governor Rick
Scott’s office demanding an
end to Stand Your Ground
and racial profiling.
The Dream Defend
ers have exemplified Mar
garet Mead’s quote: “Never
doubt that a small group of
thoughtful, concerned citi
zens can change the world.
Indeed it is the only thing that
ever has.” Every challenge
to stop-and-frisk, racial pro
filing, and other unjust po
lices has been the result of a
groundswell of ground-level,
grassroots activism and sup
port. We can and must apply
the same type of grassroots
thinking to the larger battle
to end racial profiling across
America.
Ben Jealous is president/CEO
of the NAACP.
