Default Make your water better with the Stirwand!

I saw this today and just had to laugh.

The Stirwand capabilities greatly exceed the known potentials of their composition. Common rock minerals sealed in polycarbonate plastic typically do not produce significant influences on water. There are times however when appearances can be misleading.

A steal at only $80, or get the deluxe set for $550.

80 bucks???!!!

Yeah I remember hearing years ago that even those health waters, or oxygenated or ionized waters are basically scams.

Water, obviously already contains a ton of oxygen. H20... More than your body can absorb and there is no way to deliver it in a better or more efficient fashion than the form it is already in...

Plus, if you really need more oxygen, the best thing is just to breathe properly... lol.

Are you sure those are...umm, stir sticks? They look rather, uh, female-oriented haha.

I did enjoy reading the descriptions of all the different kinds of Stirwands though.

Warm Heart Stirwand (Rose) - This Stirwand is used for opening the heart chakra. Use on your body, in your bath or stir in your drinking water. It's hydrating and oxygenating.
- That's probably my favorite description. Either that or the

Gourmet Stirwand - (Clear) - This Stirwand enhances the flavors and the vibration from food and beverages. It changes the hydration level of the drinks and sustains the flavor. Just stir to taste or place on top of your food. For richer coffee, tea and juices. Stir it in your wine and soup and use when preparing food.
-Just put it on top of your food and it'll taste better!

To me it's funny they can get away with saying these kind of things to sell you a product, but when the prince of Algeria comes looking for help get his money out of the country it's a crime

I've got a Brita jug and I fill it daily if not more so, but I use it more just to keep cold water on hand.

I do recognise a small taste difference, especially with a new filter (Calgary water is not what it used to be) but I don't believe I'm removing a ton of toxins or making it healthier or anything.

These ones are the best. They'll end up costing you hundreds of thousands.

Viscosity != density

and I'm not sure why you think heavy water would cause cancer.
There is a very small ammount of heavy water in any sample of water you drink. An extra neutron here or there isn't going to hurt you.

I already have my own water that tastes better, smoother, wetter, and has thicker consistency. It's called vodka, and and I substitute it for regular water in everything from soup to tea.

Little do the buyers know, the 'wands' leech off toxic and cancer causing chemicals...

Put those in your chakras!
