Hi Tommy, I'll try to give you a bit of info on Kangen, at least my opinion anyway. As a history buff, I know the word "Kangen" actually refers to a period in Japanese history, similar to say: the "Sengoku" period. Kangen is the period that lasted from 1244 to 1247. The word itself translates to "back to beginning" or "return to origin", so you can see how it is relevant to drinking water and the theme that the Kangen company is going for. The company distributing Kangen purifiers is Enagic, who is representing the products here in North America and Europe. Originally, it started in Japan, and now its said that 1 in 5 homes is actually drinking Kangen water. I'm not big on water ionizers in general, but the concept itself is not a myth or a gimmick, at least not as far as Kangen is involved. If there is a place I trust to master the concept of fine tuning, refining, and perfecting, it is a culture like Japan's.
Here in the West we have somewhat different philosophies when it comes to things like water. We aren't generally concerned about acidity, or alkaline levels; we just figure if it is free of germs, toxins and cat hair, we'll drink it lol, and that's ok, but there are some significant physiological functions that directly relate to the water we drink. Don't worry, I'm not here to pitch Kangen to you, or an mlm company, just to give you a run down of the company and its product. Put simply, the Kangen water purifier is designed to purify, and de-acidify, and de-electrolyze water the same way other water purifiers do but typical of the Japanese; they use the highest quality components in their units. This means you are going to pay with a capital P, but at the same time, the product you get is far superior.
Most water purification units manage to create perfectly balanced alkaline levels in their water, and at an average for a quality machine of about $2000-3000. The top of the line Enagic Kangen machine costs about $4000. Now despite the Japanese technology, you're not just paying for the unit, but also the mlm opportunity (for what its worth anyway). I am not a Kangen rep, I would never spend $4000 for anything except a gaming PC lol, but I would be the first to tell you the machine is perfect from a technological perspective. One of the price boosters is the fact that it contains a platinum-coated titanium plate which is a main component in the ionization process. I'm not a fan of these kinds of things because the more you use the more it costs, and the more your body grows accustomed to needing super-purified substances, and that won't serve you incase of an emergency situation in which you have to drink normal contaminated water.
The competition keeps their prices lower by using smaller plates, with less material usage, but the purification effect is short lived because the smaller size means it doesn't last as long. Another issue is that they clog up more often, especially in places where the water is "hard" or full of ferrous. That's basically the scoop on the Kangen water machine, though I don't know much about their compensation plan, I would guess they're a solid company with a solid product, and if I had any interest in starting a home business, I would at least consider them. Hope this helps.
