WHAT IS DOUBLE HELIX WATER?
DOUBLE HELIX WATER, WHAT IS IT, AND WHAT DOES IT DO?
It is a relatively new discovery in the field of water and health that is used to improve well-being and energy. It has been clinically shown to improve your body’s immune system as well as fight inflammation*.
​
Stable microscopic water particles have been discovered which do not require sub-zero temperatures to remain stable. These particles even remain stable at temperatures beyond the boiling point. Hence, they are called stable water clusters*. Double Helix Water is composed of Stable Water Clusters suspended in liquid water.
In defining Double Helix Water, one should look at what it is not. You may have heard of Kangen water, structured water, and ionized water. Double Helix Water is none of these. It is not a machine that creates a vortex in water, it has not had its pH levels changed by the addition of minerals. Double Helix Water isn’t treated in any way and is present in its natural state. Yet it behaves entirely differently from ice, liquid water, or water vapor.
​
Water can exist as a gas, liquid or solid. In each of these phases, it’s made up of the exact same molecules, only the space between the hydrogen and oxygen changes. This is the part that gets interesting. This is a fourth phase of water, where the space between the hydrogen and oxygen doesn’t change as the temperature changes, it defies the historical classification of water.
​
You might wonder why this phase of water has never been discovered before. The fact is, it couldn’t have been found without the advent of the Atomic Force Microscope, which can view the world of atoms.
​
To further complicate the matter, finding this tiny particle in a drop of water is like finding one blade of grass that’s being swirled around in a tornado.
​
Double Helix Water was an undiscovered form or phase of water.
​
As the researchers began photographing this stable water cluster, they saw it attach to a bacterium and cause it to die. (black and white photo)
​
Because of this phenomenon, Dr Benjamin Bonavida did a series of studies at UCLA where they first looked at any possible effect of Stable Water Clusters on the Immune System. To read an explanation of that first study click here.
​
Current research indicates that the Stable Water Clusters in Double Helix Water somehow exert their effects at the gene level. If this is correct it could be said that it helps the DNA perform the job it’s intended to do. Double Helix Water is likely the most natural product ever found. It enhances and supports life, and it tastes just like water!
Double Helix Water is produced in the USA using an atomic force microscope, in a class 100 clean room*.
It has been studied for over 25 years and is the subject matter of 36 published research articles.
For over two decades, it has been used by thousands of doctors and people who strive to live healthier lives with less pain and more energy — especially among professional athletes.
So, to recap - Double Helix Water® consists of high concentrations of Stable Water Clusters in ultra-pure water.
The product got its name from the fact that stable water clusters floating in a solution are attracted to each other, and when thousands merge in water, they create double helix structures that resemble DNA. That is why it is called Double Helix Water.

Here are two photos of the structure taken with an Atomic Force Microscope.
*Double Helix Water & the Immune System: Dr. Benjamin Bonavida, a distinguished research professor and award-winning microbiologist at the University of California conducted a series of studies where they first looked at any possible effect of Stable Water Clusters on the Immune System. The studies concluded that Stable Water Clusters (the main ingredient in Double Helix Water) significantly impacted the Immune System positively.

A more recent study, also conducted by Dr. Benjamin Bonavida, indicates that the Stable Water Clusters in Double Helix Water somehow exert their effects at the gene level, click here to view that research.

*Stable water cluster: a solid water particle that is considered to be naturally present in water molecules.
*clean room: a clean room is an environment where manufacturing or scientific research is conducted. Clean rooms have a regulated low level of pollutants that are indicated by the number of particles per cubic meter at a certain particle size, usually measured in μm (micrometers). To make a comparison, air in a typical urban environment contains about 35,000,000 particles per cubic meter in the size 0.5 µm and larger in diameter, dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles, etc. in a Class 100 clean room, there are only 100 particles per cubic meter in the size of 0.5 µm and smaller.

Double Helix Water: An In-Depth Look
Double Helix Water has been shown to have an electrical charge character based on its 8 water molecule structure known as a stable water cluster. The nature of water is to create a dipole with a positive and negative region. A dipole is a molecule in which a concentration of positive electrical charge is separated from a concentration of negative charge.
With a water molecule, the oxygen side of the molecule carries a negative charge, while the side with two hydrogen atoms has a net positive charge. With stable water clusters, 8 of these dipoles stack in a concerted structure that accentuate those regions.
​
This robust crystal of water can behave like an electrical buffer, attaching to ions long enough to separate them and allow more stable water clusters to interact.
​
In order to understand the potential effect of this stable water cluster on a cell it is necessary to have some understanding of cell membrane permeability.
​
​When a cell is unhealthy, only limited nutrients are able to penetrate the cell membrane and only partial waste (toxins) exit, leaving the cell lacking necessary nutrients and holding excess toxins.
When a cell is healthy, all necessary nutrients penetrate into the cell and all waste (toxins) leave the cell, keeping the cell healthy and functioning properly.
Unhealthy Cell​​
Only some nutrients get in
Cell membrane is hard and rigid
Only some waste products get out
A cell membrane’s job is to protect the cell from its surroundings. The cell membrane is selectively permeable and able to regulate what enters and exits the cell.
Permeability depends mainly on the electrical charge and polarity of the molecule. If the cell membrane’s voltage potential is too low, the cell will not function correctly due to the cells permeability being compromised - resulting in insufficient nutrients entering through the cell walls and not enough waste (toxins) properly exiting the cell. This results in a toxic and unhealthy cell.
​
-
Double Helix Water normalizes cell membrane voltage potential, which in return regulates proper cell function.*
​
-
Proper cell function helps unhealthy cells to become healthy again and work at their optimal level.

*Stable Water Clusters and Cell Health: Stable Water Clusters and Cell Health lays out a more in-depth theory of Stable Water Clusters relationship to cell membrane permeability and voltage potential.
Double Helix Water in conjunction with proper nutrition may help lay the groundwork for healthy cells and allow the body to heal itself naturally, maintain wellness, and restore vitality – starting from the inside.
