Abstract
Question of the study: In the present study, cell biological methods were used to investigate whether tap water, after passing through an Alpha Omega (AO) Water® Crystal instrument, has received and stored vibrational energy that possesses beneficial health effects. The effects of this Alpha Omega (AO) Water® on cultured cells were directly compared with the corresponding initial tap water without activation.
Experimental: By using cultured connective tissue fibroblasts we examined the basal metabolism, long-term vitality and the regeneration process of initial tap water after treatment with the Alpha Omega (AO) Water® Crystal instrument in comparison to untreated initial tap water. In addition, the endogenous generation of superoxide anion radicals by inflammation-mediating cells (functional neutrophils) was investigated.
Results: The basal metabolism of the connective tissue fibroblasts was stimulated by the tap water after Alpha Omega (AO) Water® Crystal instrument treatment in a concentration-dependent manner with a maximum of more than 50% in direct comparison to untreated cells. In accordance with the stimulation of cell metabolism were the results of the long-term cultivation of connective tissue fibroblasts with 25 vol% of Alpha Omega (AO) Water® Crystal vs. untreated initial tap water for 8 days. Here we found that the cell density was significantly increased by the Alpha Omega (AO) Water® Crystal suggesting that cell proliferation and vitality was increased by the treated water. In addition, also the regeneration of connective tissue fibroblasts was markedly stimulated by the tap water after Alpha Omega (AO) Water® Crystal instrument treatment when compared with the untreated initial tap water. Even though the basal cell metabolism of functional neutrophils as inflammation-mediating cells was significantly increased by the tap water after Alpha Omega (AO) Water® Crystal instrument treatment in comparison to the untreated initial tap water, we observed a significant inhibition of endogenous superoxide anion radical generation by the Alpha Omega (AO) Water® Crystal by more than 30%.
Conclusions: The Alpha Omega (AO) Water® Crystal instrument seems to be a very potent instrument for the activation of local tap water by vibrational energy which restores healthy resonance in the body. From our current in vitro studies with cultured cells, we can recommend the use of Alpha Omega (AO) Water® Crystal for the improvement and maintenance of health and well-being.
