Fibromyalgia is debilitating and yet it's often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. Its classic symptoms are widespread muscle and joint pain and fatigue. Fibromyalgia is a common health problem. A recent study found that about five percent of women and two percent of men have fibromyalgia. That means over one million Canadians have it and those numbers seem to be increasing every year. Although not classified as an inflammatory disease fibromyalgia can feel similar to osteoarthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis. But rather than hurting in a specific area, the pain and stiffness could be throughout your body. Although no specific treatment or cure has been identified for fibromyalgia there are a number of treatments that combined can help alleviate symptoms. As fibromyalgia is complex, a multi-pronged approach has been most successful at improving symptoms. Medications such as pain relievers, anti-seizure medications and antidepressants have had some impact. Mild to moderate exercise, a healthy diet and stress management techniques have also had some limited success. Like all chronic illnesses, drinking clean filtered water, and avoiding adding excess toxic load on the body is vitally important. Now hydrogen infused water or H2 ionizers are revolutionizing the way we purify water with other amazing health benefits. Many people have reported benefits from using alkaline water ionizers, but it wasn’t until 2007-2010 that scientists and researchers understood that the therapeutic property in alkaline ionized water was hydrogen gas. As a result of this new research the water ionizer industry has been completely revolutionized to take advantage of this new information. H2, or dissolved hydrogen in your drinking water, is a unique selective antioxidant and more effective than any other antioxidants because it is the smallest molecule in the universe and capable of superlative bio availability to fluidly penetrate far more effectively than any other supplements. As the smallest and lightest element in the periodic table, H2 when ingested, travels throughout the bloodstream and—according to a 2013 review published in the journal Medical Gas Research—weasels its way into the mitochondria, the energy centers of a cell, and penetrates the nucleus, where the majority of DNA is stored. Once there, it significantly reduces free radicals—inflammation-causing molecules linked to everything from accelerated skin aging to cancer. When the body is stressed by trauma or infection, it sends out inflammatory mediators, the signal to the body that it needs healing. This signal initiates an increase in fluid to the affected area, which results in inflammation. Molecular hydrogen has shown to reduce levels of inflammatory mediators, partly because the molecules are so infinitesimally small they can penetrate far more effectively than supplements. That’s why H2 water is so helpful for any inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, colitis, fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s Disease etc. Each drink of hydrogen water will flush our bodies with trillions of hydrogen molecules. Hydrogen therapy is perfectly safe as there is no upper limit of use. H2 ionizers – such as the UltraStream – deliver H2 water that improves the effectiveness of the nutrition from your food, supplements and medicines. It cleans & detoxifies your body while delivering a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. H2 water is three times more hydrating than drinking tap water which means you’ll stay hydrated longer.
