The Kangen water machine makes ionised water, also called alkaline water, so to rephrase the question is the Kangen water machine able to make ionised water or alkaline water then use the Kangen machine does work.
Kangen water is ionised water, ionised water makes water alkaline and alkaline water is not acidic like some brands of bottled water that you can buy, acidic water makes it harder for your body to burn calories, so yes, Kangen water will help you lose weight in that it will not be an inhibitor to you losing weight like some brads of acidic bottled water.
The Kangen machine uses a carbon filter which can remove chlorine and solid waste known as organic compounds, when you look on a bottle of water you have purchased form the shop the label will say organic compounds, that’s the actual solids (tiny microscopic pieces of solid matter) that are in the water and the Kangen water filter is able to remove those as well.
Kangen water is alkaline water which means it does not contain any acid, it’s acid in the bloodstream from sugary foods that can cause diabetes through making your pancreas work harder, alkaline water controls the sugar spikes in your bloodstream by lowering the acid in your blood and so research has shown that lower levels of acid in your blood does in fact reduce your risk of diabetes so proponents say it follows that if you can drink alkaline ware and control the acid in your bloodstream to prevent sugar spikes then you can control diabetes by drinking Kangen water.
Kangen water is a source of alkaline water, alkaline water is thought to be good for you because diseases in the body can only survive in an acidic environment, so by drinking Kangen water you are drinking a source of alkaline water which can replace the acid in your body, as diseases can’t survive in an alkaline body, diseases will be prevented from spreading, be reduced or be completely eradicated.
I’ve covered why Kangen water is good for you so it’s time to look at the reverse of that and see why people are saying that Kangen water is bad for you, firstly Kangen water is not a drug handed out to your by your doctor and is not a medicine, the Kangen machine does not add anything special to the water and it does not filter out everything that’s contained within the water.
Ionised water is known to relieve the symptoms of gout by causing the uric acid crystals in your joints to be flushed out, there is empirical evidence that this does work, that is evidence from gout suffers who regularly drink ionised water in one of it’s forms either alkaline water from an alkaline water machine, water ioniser or Kangen water machine.
Kangen water is alkaline water which can be refrigerated, simply pour the Kangen water into an airtight container made from either glass or stainless steel, don’t use a plastic container as toxins from the plastic can leak into the Kangen water.
Kangen water is alkaline water made using a Kangen water machine, Kangen is a brand name of Enagic, so only Enagic sell machines that can make Kangen water, however Kangen water is alkaline water and you can also make alkaline water using a water ioniser, water ionisers are much cheaper than Kangen machines, partly because a Kangen machine is sold by independent distributors who get a commission on the sale of the machines, where a water ioniser is much cheaper because you can just buy it from the shops.
Kangen water is created by a Kangen water machine manufactured by Enagic, a Japanese company, it is not as the name suggests some rare form of water from the planet Kangen, or a natural stream running through mountains, Kangen is a brand name belonging to Enagic.
Acne is caused by a bacterial skin infection, rather than us antibiotics form your doctor to try and clear up your acne you can use Kangen water with a pH of 2.5, this slightly acidic water produced by the Kangen machine will act as a disinfectant killing the bacteria which cause acne and stopping the bacteria from spreading and causing more spots.
Proponents of drinking Kangen water to help rheumatoid arthritis say that rheumatoid arthritis is caused by the bodies excess acidity where acid does not completely leave the body through respiration, urination and excretion and Kangen water which is alkaline can help further remove acid from the body.
Some plants require that the soil be more alkaline or acidic, plants whose growth is very much affected by the acidity or alkalinity (pH) of the soil include asparagus, sugar beet, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, carrots, mushrooms, parsley, geraniums, irises, hydrangeas and lilacs.
The accepted advice for drinking any water, be that tap water or Kangen water is to drink 8 glasses of water each day, that’s 2 or 3 litres of water each day, it sounds like a lot and indeed if your not used to drinking water each day it is a lot of water, but start small by drinking 3 or 4 glasses of water each day and working up to 8 glasses of water a day over the course of a month.
There’s lots of discussion even from medical doctors about Kangen water helping children with autism, enough news that maybe there is something in it, especially as medical doctors have gone on record saying that they use Kangen water or alkaline water as part of their treatment.
Kangen water is safe to drink as it’s just alkaline water, Kangen water uses tap water as its source so it contains the same minerals and salts as are in the tap water, filtered alkaline waters may have the salts and minerals removed and that means your body won’t be getting the essential salts and minerals from water that are needed to maintain good health.
The human body becomes acid in the blood first and acid its claimed can cause kidney stones, heart diseases and high blood pressure, it’s the foods you eat and drinks you consume that of acidic will cause your body to become acidic and at risk from diseases its claimed, drinking alkaline water lowers the acidity in your blood causing blood pressure to lower, the risk of heart diseases to reduce and the risk of kidney diseases and kidney stones to reduce.
To remove fluoride from water you need a special filter, the filter supplied with a Kangen machine does not remove fluoride without this additional filter.
Kangen water has a pH of between 7.0 to 11.0, you can vary the pH or the water making the water more alkaline or more acidic as required, the different pH of water is used for different activities like drinking alkaline water, washing your face or washing vegetables ready for cooking.
The Kangen water machine has a mechanical filter that filters out solid debris like for example rust flakes contained in the water as well as a activated charcoal carbon filter which filters out biological debris like mould and spores from the water, you can also buy at additional cost a floured filter for filtering out fluoride added to tap water.
Kangen water made by a Kangen machine is artificially made alkaline water, natural alkaline water would be for example spring water with a pH of 7 or there about, a Kangen machine produces ionised water and it’s ionisation that is the process used to create alkaline water.
I’ve you’re not hydrated (drinking enough water) then you can get constipated, Kangen water, other brands of alkaline or ionised water and tap water will all hydrate you properly, there is no truth in the often repeated quotation that alkaline water offers better hydration than any other type of water, you might like the taste and drink more Kangen water but it’s not got any better hydration properties.
Short answer, no Kangen water cannot cure cancer, longer answer there is a lot of speculation and wild guessing amount Kangen and alkaline water drinkers, some of this speculation may hold some truth, other speculation is just made up.

People with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions who as well as any medical intervention choose to follow a natural treatment protocol can include alkaline water made from a Kangen machine or other brand of water ioniser, the drinking of alkaline water may also include a alkaline food diet.
On a Kangen your able to select the level of alkalinity you want for your water, level 4 on the Kangen is specifically designed for boiling water to be used in cooking, soups, rice and stews, level 4 will help reduce acidity in these foods, when you boil alkaline water it retains its alkalinity but it is claimed the number of positive ions are reduced because of oxidation whilst the micro clusters of water molecules which it is claimed by alkaline water enthusiasts are inherent to alkaline water will remain.
After 24 hours the antioxidant properties created by the hydroxyl ions will have dissipated, the higher level of alkaline pH will have dropped to a neutral 7 pH within 2 weeks and the smaller cluster size of the hydroxyl ions will have reverted after 1 month, if you keep the water refrigerated then 3 months.
One of the oldest treatments for vitiligo is to use copper cups and utensils as the copper reacts with the water, having a pure source of water is essential, a Kangen water machine can provide filtered and ionised water for vitiligo treatments.
The quality of your tap water also determines how long the filter will last, if there is hard water, sediment or rust particles for example in your water supply then those will decrease the life of your filter.
