Guest guest Posted June 26, 2000 Report Share Posted June 26, 2000 Hi Penny, My experience with willard water is kind of, well, interesting. It was explained to me that willard water when diluted with water changes the water molecules from round to straight, thus they are absorbed better. With this information, I took my horse, who I found out in the pasture, totally dehydrated and not moving. (his water bowl had warmed up in the sun and he didn't like it) I dragged him up on his feet. He could barely stand. I put a gallon of water infromt of him that had 1 0z of willard watre in it. He wouldn't drink it. So I but a handful of grain in the water, it sunk to the bottom. Well, he saw that and even though he could barely stand he sucked down that water to get that handful of grain. Within 20 minutes, he was back to normal. He had drunk 2 gallons of water with willard water in it. I now use it for all the animals and family when it is hot to keep everyone hydrated. I also use it with sick things (animals and family) to help whatever they are taking (herbwise) to absorb faster. I think some caution would have to be used in this respect so as to not overwhelm the body. We have saved many a critter (too many to count) or child (I have 5 currently) from the heat or illness with willard water. There is a good little booklet out there called CATALYST ALTERED WATER. That gives a good explanation of it.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Heres what I found on it Tom What Is Willard Water? Catalyst Altered Water (CAW) is quite mysterious to most people. When its remarkable prperties are mentioned, they doubt that such a substance could exist. This short explanation is intended to help make CAW understandable and so open the way for more people to benefit from its truly remakable properties. An altered form of water. Nature itself alters many different substances, but in this case, the water is altered by a patented catalyst. Is altering structure important?... Consider the fact that both diamonds and pencil leads come from carbon--they simply result from different molecular arrangements of it! In Willard Water when the catalyst micelle is added to the regular water it alters the molecular structure of the water. Changing a substance's structure results in changes to its known properties ... Think of the characteristics of diamonds and graphite. Diamonds are hard--Graphite is soft. Willard Water has some very unusual properties, setting it apart from regular water. What Willards Water Is Reported To Do... Promotes better assimilation of nutrients to cells Normalizes tissues under stress Promotes more rapid healing Protects against solar radiation Increases blood circulation Enhances collogen and elastin production Increased elimination of toxins and wastes Acting as an extraordinary scavenger of free radicals & antioxidant; Reducing swelling. Tissue Culture Reasearch In tissue-culture research the reaction of cells when CAW is used in the culture fluid can be campared to the reaction of the same type of cells when the culture fluid is formulated using ordinary water. An important result of tissue culture tests is the amazing finding that CAW increases the lifespan of cells. Regardless of the type of cell, or the living organism from which the cells were taken, the results showed that the lifespan of cells in CAW based tissue fluid was extended by 15% to 100%. (100% indicated doubling the lifespan of the cell). One of the normal functions of the cells is the production of protein. Protein plays a vital role in cell metabolism, because the structure of the various types of protein is coded and this code determines the function performed by the protein. The pancreas, for example, has cells with the ability to produce insulin. Cells in the kidney do not have this ability, they are capable of performing other functions. The cell itself produces the protein by ising other protein, namely DNA and RNA. When these cells are cultured in a CAW based tissue fluid, they produce significantly more protein than control cells cultured in tissue fluid based on ordinary water. Collagen and Elastin There are two proteins in particular that have a vital part in maintaining the structural, integrity of the body. They are cooagen and elastin. From a cosmetic point of view, tha action of CAW in the reduction of wrinkles now becomes understandable. Solar radiation causes skin collagen to degenerate at a rate faster than the body can regenerate it. CAW, in promoting the body's ability to produce this protein at a higher rate, helps alleviate wrinkles caused by the sun's rays by helping the skin to build tissue from beneath which frims the skin and removes the wrinles. Emphysema This is a respiratory disease in which the cell structure of the lungs degenerates and the lungs lose their elastic tone, making it difficult to breathe. Two groups of chronic emphysema patients were surveyed. Their average intake of oxygen was three tanks a day. One groups drank CAW, and their average oxygen requirement dropped to one tank a day after 30 days. the control group drank ordinary water and their oxygen requirements remained unchanged. To further answer the question of whether the use of catalyst altered water has any efect of lung tissue, a bronchioscopic examination was performed, permitting the actula observation of lung tissue. In those patients who showed improvement, regeration of lung tissue could be seen. This is the result of increased collagen production. The patients improved ability to breathe can be traced to an increase in the production of elastin, the protein which stretches and contracts during resperation. Arthritis In this disease, the connecting tissue between the bones degerates. Eventually the bnes rub against each other. When the structure of the bone starts to deterikorate, the minerals on the bone, mainly phosphorus and calcium. demineralize from the bone and are depositied in the joints. What connective tissue remains often becomes imflamed, water is tetained in the cells, circulation is impaired, the joint swells, and the result is the pain and stiffness of arthritis. All this takes place primarily because the connective tissue degenerated in the first place. The connective tissue is mainly composed of collagen. When CAW is introduced into this area the production of collagen is enhanced and the condition is relieved. Veterinarians in ject CAW directly into the arthritic knees of horses. It is because of the enhancing effect of CAW on collagen production that so many reprts have been received testifying to remarkable results in the relief of arthritic pain and stiffness for arthritis sufferers who both drank catalyst altered water and used it externally in various ways Those properties explain many of the benefits reported over the years. After all, most people now recognize, if you improve nutritional absorption and elimination of toxins, you'll see some health benefits. Additionally, some experts say 80% to 90% of all diseases are caused by free radicals and WW has been found to be an exceptional scavenger of them (because of its nearly endless supply of electrons to "give up"). And anyone in pain knows that reducing swelling can be a big positive. Willard Water is the only Patented product of this type and the only one seen on "60 Minutes"--no matter what anyone may tell you, there Is Nothing Else Like Real Willard Water! And, yes, it's SAFE! It's been classified as non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-carcinogenic, and causing no mutagenic activity within the framework of the Spot Test of Ames, McCann and Yamasaki. Translation: to the best of today's knowledge, Real Willard Water, and its derived solutions, are harmless. Few people relize that when they drink water they are actually drinking water crytals. Chemist call them flickering clusters. Because individual water molecules bind together to form larger and heavier cluster molecules, water is liquid at room tempuratures above 32 and below 212 degrees fahrenheit. Were it not for the tendancy of water to form molecular clusters, it would boil at 150 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. This may seem far-fetched but consider this; A water molecule has one oxygen atom of atomic weight 16 plus two hydrogen atoms each of atomic weight one = molecular weight 18. Now lets look at natural gas which has one carbon atom of atomic weight 12 + four hydrogen atoms, each of atomic weight 1,= molecular weight 16, almost the same as the molecular weight of water. But natural gas is not a liquid at room tempurature or anywhere near it. Ammonia is another example of interest. Its molecular weight is 17 ( one nitrogen atom = 14 + three hdrogen atoms = 17). But ammonia, like natural gas, is not liquid at room tempurature either. Both gases must be cooled and compressed to form liquids. Water, in contrast to natural gas and ammonia, is in a gaseous state at a far higher tempurature, and is fundamentally different from these two common gases, even though they and water have very similar molecular weights. 60 Minutes Transcript People will tell you all kinds of things to sell their products, but we have something other people don't have, one of the most positive "60 Minutes" ever produced, a Congressional investigation and thousands of loyal users which prompted the investigations in the first place. We realize the information we are presenting is hard to believe, but you must agree that "60 Minutes" is not known for frivolous reporting. You should treat the "60 Minutes" transcript as an impartial, basic overview of our product. NOT as an endorsement, rather a news program known for their sharp investigative style took a look at Willard Water and presented the information they discovered. This will be helpful to remember as you learn more about Willard Water. We have a very unique product. -- HARRY REASONER: What's your problem, my friend? Dandruff? A calf with water belly? Perhaps you want to grow a 32 lb. squash? Do you have emphysema, or a painful burn? Well, if I told you I had something right here in this little bottle of Doc Willard's Wonder Water that would solve all of those problems .... you'd possibly say that's the same kind of talk I heard from that snake oil salesman we ran out of town. Well, if you went to Rapid City, South Dakota, you'd find a lot of folks who swear by something they say will do all these things ... the wondrous water of Doctor John Wesley Willard. Too good to be true, you say? We went out to take a look .... with an open mind ... but on the alert for the first whiff of snake oil. HARRY REASONER: What we found was a vat of hot brew being stirred up out back in a truck repair shop and watching over it was Doc Willard who is not a wizard, but a Professor Emeritus of Chemistry at the South Dakota School of Mines. (Editor's Note: It is now produced in a modern facility and is tested by the FDA in random visits to the plant to be certain it is safe for human consumption. It has never failed the test.) Here's what some folks say his "Real" Willard Water can do: Doc Lemley says it's good for his emphysema. Chauncey Taylor used it on his second and third degree burn. Ranchers give it to cattle to keep them healthy. Farmers say it makes wheat grow better. A quail breeder says it helps his birds grow faster and fatter. DOC WILLARD: People can't comprehend that this is possible and they're skeptics. And I suppose I would have been the same way if I hadn't spent the past ten years of my life living and sleeping with this water. REASONER: So what's in it that could make so many things happen? Well, a little liquid road salt, that's what melts snow and rots your car, and sodium silicate and magnesium sulfate and sulfated castor oil and then Doc Willard mixes some of it with powdered lignite. What you have finally are various mixtures called by different names: LA Water, (it has nothing to do with that town in California, it means lignite activated water) or CAW water, catalyst activated water. But it's all Willard Water, whatever it is. DOC WILLARD: Well, it's the calcium magnesium, polysilicate polymer with a castor oil. ..... REASONER: Now that's chemist talk. You've already lost me. DOC WILLARD: All right. It's a catalyst that alters the structure of the water making water behave in a manner that heretofore has not been reported in the literature. REASONER: Whatever "Real" Willard Water is, we set out to visit some folks around Rapid City who talk about what it has done for them. On burns for example, producer Paul Loewenwarter talked with Chauncey Taylor who scorched his leg doing some welding on an old oil drum. CHAUNCEY TAYLOR: The fumes in it, I guess, ignited and blowed out a hole and melted my overalls. I had a pair of poly .. polyester overalls on and it melted them and melted my shirt and burnt my leg. PAUL LOEWENWARTER: So you looked down and just saw your leg charred? TAYLOR: I looked down and the skin was just hanging all different ways there. LOEWENWARTER: Well what did you do to treat it? TAYLOR: Oh, I had a bottle of this LA Water and I just started squirting it on there and just kept pouring it on, a fine mist. LOEWENWARTER: And what does it do? TAYLOR: It heals it I guess. DR. RAY LEMLEY: And I said now look, let's try this out. REASONER: Dr. Ray Lemley is a prominent surgeon, now retired, but still Chauncey Taylor's family doctor. He told Chauncey to keep spraying the burn with "Real" Willard Water. We wondered what the normal treatment would have been. LEMLEY: Well you'd put different kinds of medicine on it. There's all kinds of medicine for burns. Any housewife has a dozen and that would kill off the new cells and damage the wound. It would be too strong, usually, and burn it and interfere with the healing of it. This, we did nothing to interfere with the healing of it. REASONER: Would the normal procedure be to graft? LEMLEY: Well, if you took him to the hospital they would have probably grafted that by this time and by the time that he gets the scabs off of this and it's all healed up, your place you took your graft off from it would still be raw. So we're way ahead. REASONER: Chauncey's scab was all gone about three weeks after the burn, and three months after that we dropped by to see the final results. CHAUNCEY TAYLOR: Well, it's all healed up. REASONER: Dr. Lemley does not just recommend "Real" Willard Water for others. Several times a day he guzzles the stuff which, incidentally, tastes just like water. LEMLEY: I have emphysema and I wanted to see if it would help that. I mix up a jug of it, about three times as strong as it's supposed to be. So if it's gonna hurt anybody, it would me. REASONER: The surprising thing is that Dr. Lemley, at 78, with emphysema, is nonetheless able to pursue his hobby of paleontology, at which he's a recognized expert, digging for fossils. LEMLEY: I don't walk too far for anything on account of my emphysema but I get around. REASONER: And you would credit the water with part of that ability? LEMLEY: Well I've seen a lot of emphysema in my long years of practice and most of them get worse all the time. And mine, it's a little worse than it was ten years ago, but it isn't anything like anybody I've seen before. REASONER: (MUSIC) And then there's Vern Sheppard, a popular Rapid City broadcaster, who used to miss weeks on the air every winter with a bad throat. Now Sheppard sprays the throat with Willard Water every day and rarely misses a day on the air. JOHNSON'S DAUGHTER: When I have pink eye in my eye I just squirt some LA Water in it and then after a while it isn't so pink anymore. RALPH WHITE: I spray it on my head for my dandruff and I put it in my bath water and drink some of it some of the time. REASONER: Because people are drinking Willard Water and pouring it on burns and infections, we wondered whether this unlikely mixture has anything in it that could do anybody any harm. We took samples to Industrial Testing Laboratories in New York City. Their results were the same as other tests. They found nothing harmful, either in the way of bacteria or metals that could hurt you. But they didn't find much else either. So, what it does, how it doe it, if it does it remains a mystery. It remains a mystery even to the Chief Medical Officer of South Dakota's Department of Health, Dr. Robert Hayes. DR. ROBERT HAYES: My professional opinion about it, of course, is, has been that a lot of people use it. I've seen results of what they said it did. I've never had occasion to use it on a patient. Have had no more opinion than that, sir. REASONER: You've never used it yourself? HAYES: No, sir. I haven't. REASONER: On the other hand, you've had no reason to assume it would hurt anybody? HAYES: No, I haven't, as a matter of fact, Anything I've heard about it has been nothing bad. It has always been on the positive side. REASONER: Would you like to see it tested, Doctor? HAYES: I sure would. I've in fact had a question in my mind why it wasn't tested before and I, I think most doctors in this area who have patients who have come in contact with it would like to see it tested. REASONER: Willard Water gets packed for sale at a kind of Willard family bottling bee. It's not licensed in any way for sale as a drug or a fertilizer and state agencies in South Dakota watch closely to see that no false claims are made about what it can do. The little bottle costs three dollars, to be mixed with a gallon of water the way most people use it. The biggest commercial distributor of Willard Water is Tom Callahan. How much of this stuff have you distributed? TOM CALLAHAN: Well, in the last four years, close to forty thousand of those ounce bottles. REASONER: Have you had any trouble with regulatory agencies? TOM CALLAHAN: Yes. They've stopped the sale of it twice and I'm sure that we'd have a lot more except that we have so much public opinion around this area that when the first stop sale order came out the governor got hundreds of letters from people that were very irate about stopping this product. And they've more or less kind of let us live ever since. REASONER: About the only laboratory work on what Willard Water does, has been done at the South Dakota School of Mines by Sister Marmion Howe, a Professor of Biology. SISTER MARMION HOWE: I took some different species of microorganisms and tested them with CAW or with Doc Willard's Water and without it and then I used different antibiotics on it to see if Willard Water enhanced the action of the antibiotic. REASONER: Does it? SISTER MARMION: Yes. I found that it did with certain organisms, not all. REASONER: The water also seemed to sometimes speed up the growth of bacteria, doesn't it? SISTER MARMION: Yes, we found that out. Some of my students did some work on that. REASONER: Do you have any theories based on your tests as to why it does what it does? SISTER MARMION: Well no, we need about a million dollars to do some studies on it but I think the fact that this is a surfactant - or a detergent-like acting material might make it penetrate a little bit more quickly and effectively. REASONER: Doc Willard developed the water as a cleaner. But he learned it could treat burns when he burned his own arm on a hot plate, years ago, dowsed it with his water, the sting disappeared, the burn healed. As a cleaner, he heats up some of the water and soaks an engine piston in it that's coated with carbon and the burnt on carbon comes off easily with a rag. Normally that's done only with a lot of scrubbing that can damage the piston or with harsh solvents that can be dangerous. DOC WILLARD: This we can take and bathe in it or drink it, if it wasn't so hot. REASONER: (SOUND OF COWS) Ranchers and farmers of Rapid City aren't waiting for scientific proof about Willard Water. They're using it now because they say it puts money in their pockets. At roundup time, Don Taylor uses it on his calves when they're branded, spraying it on fresh burns. The calves seem to quiet down right away. Taylor says it helps the burns heal without infection, fewer veterinary bills. If there's a sick calf, he'll get a stiff dose out of a pop bottle and ranchers say that Willard Water can cure a calf that might otherwise die. Ranchers put it in the wells, in drinking water, and cattle drink it year around. And it's said to be particularly good as a kind of tranquilizer when calves are weaned away from their mothers and become nervous, even frantic. TOM CALLAHAN: And we've seen this where you crowd these chickens together or quail together how they quiet down and it definitely has an effect on the nervous system and it isn't imagination with a calf or a chicken or a quail. REASONER: Quail that get the Willard Water don't bite and scratch each other the way other quail do and Jim Dickey, who breeds quail in Rapid City, says they gain more weight on less high cost feed. JIM DICKEY: They're plumper. They're a little heavier on Willard Water. REASONER: Out in the wheat fields there has been a little testing done by farmers like Paul Zelfer who has one field with normal, untreated wheat and another whose seed were soaked in the Willard Water before planting. PAUL ZELFER: From the start it was a better color and it came up quicker and it was a thicker stand and it would yield more, would be more bushels per acre and every bushel per acre means that many more dollars per acre. REASONER: Zelfer then took producer Loewenwarter into an untreated wheat field to show him the difference. ZELFER: This here is the treated wheat and this is the untreated and you can just see the difference in the hair roots. That's what feed the plant, that's what makes them grow is them little hair roots. The proof is here, you can see it. But what makes the plant do so much better with the water, I just don't know. REASONER: (NUNS SINGING) You wouldn't expect an order of nuns to be a little hot bed of Willard Water boosters but at St. Martin's Academy, the Benedictine Sisters use it daily. And it's not just because one of the members is Sister Marmion Howe, the Biology Professor we met at the School of Mines. Many of the sisters bathe in it, drink it, treat burns with it in the kitchen. And there's the garden where we found Sister Jenna spraying and spraying with Willard Water last spring, hoping for vegetables like the crops she had gotten in '79. I understand you had some prodigious squash? SISTER JENNA: (A little embarrassed) Yes I did. REASONER: What would be the size of a good, big squash? SISTER JENNA: Well my largest one was 32 pounds and a 25 pounder and from there on down to 18 and I believe 15 was the smallest. REASONER: We couldn't resist going back this fall to see whether Willard Water had worked in spite of the drought that struck the plains this summer. Sure enough, monster squash, though not quite the size of the year before. I'm no judge, but that's 20 pounds I'd say anyhow, wouldn't you? SISTER JENNA: I would say 20 at least. REASONER: It would make a lot of meals (LAUGHTER) REASONER: So here is Doc Willard, with a magic juice that people say works on quail and squash and people and cattle and no scientific proof at all. DOC WILLARD: I've worked with some top flight men at other universities and they've made the statement, as I have myself, "I see it but I still don't believe it." REASONER: Well, where do we stand? We haven't proved anything and we didn't expect to. But we've met a lot of nice people and we found a product that, everyone agrees, can't hurt you. Maybe that's enough. Besides, anything made with road salt and castor oil can't be all bad.
