Explanation of why MHI does not promote certain practices or products

Considerations for Choosing a Good Hydrogen Product

One of our most asked questions is what product(s) we recommend. While this may seem like a very easy question to answer, we have taken the position of not recommending specific products for many reasons, which we will discuss here. Read Why MHI Doesn’t Promote, Endorse, or Recommend Products What’s the best way to choose…

The Complete Guide to Molecular Hydrogen Therapy

What is Molecular Hydrogen? Molecular hydrogen is a gas. It is made of two hydrogen atoms. These atoms are bonded together with a nonpolar covalent bond, which means it is very stable. Hydrogen gas, in concentrations between about 5% and 78%, is highly explosive. However, the atmosphere contains only very small amounts of molecular hydrogen,…

How To Get Molecular Hydrogen

METHODS OF ADMINISTRATION There are a number of methods to consume molecular hydrogen gas (H2),1 including inhalation of H2,2 injection of H2-rich saline,3 dropping H2-rich saline into eyes,4 taking a bath in H2-rich water,5 increasing H2 production by intestinal bacteria,6topical application,7 oral ingestion of hydrogen producing tablets,7 and simply drinking H2-rich water.8 WHICH METHOD IS THE BEST? Each one of the following methods has a been…

What is Electrolysis? A Short Guide

DEFINITION Electrolysis is simply using electricity to cause the decomposition of water (H2O) into hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2).1 Electrolysis was discovered in 1800 by Anthony Carlisle and William Nicholson2 and is now the primary method of mass-producing hydrogen gas for energy.3 SIMPLE EXPLANATION Electrolysis of pure water is very difficult,4 but adding only a…

Water Ionizers (Electrolyzers)

Water ionizers are marketed for commercial and home use.  These devices use a process called electrolysis1 to produce four main types of electrolyzed waters called functional waters.2 Figure 1. Depiction of a typical water ionizer connected to a tap water, producing acidic and alkaline water. MEDICAL DEVICE In 1965, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare (JMHLW) approved water…

Water Ionizers And Hydrogen Water Generators

On the market there are currently two main methods to obtain hydrogen-rich water via electric flow-through systems; namely, alkaline water ionizers and neutral-pH hydrogen water generators. A brief discussion of some of the pros and cons are noted below. ALKALINE WATER IONIZERS This technology has been around for many decades. It uses a process of electrolysis to produce hydrogen gas…

Common Myths about pH

HISTORY One of the important parameters  of water quality is the pH.1  A pH measurement reveals whether the solution is acidic, neutral, or alkaline. The chemistry of water has been discussed previously, which will help us understand what pH really is. In the most basic sense, pH refers to the negative logarithmic (log) measurement of the H+ion concentration in…
