Thank you for reading before commenting: In the live chat, a distributor informed me that you you don’t have to give the company your SSN and become a distributor just to buy the product and someone else sent me a screenshot of the back office to confirm that! Also, while I know I probably made it seem like I think this in the video, I do not think kangen water is a scam. Enagic makes basically no claims about the water, it's the distributors/customers. Customers can say whatever they want about any product and that doesn't make something a scam. Like I could say grapes cure diabetes but that doesn't make grapes a scam. If grape companies were saying they did then that would be a different story. OCTOBER 2021 UPDATE: Enagic has finally put out an income disclosure statement. According to this document, the median income for all US distributors in 2020 was $440 (median= half made more, half made less). Only 1/3 of distributors made more than $1,000 in the whole year. This is certainly better than some MLMs, but still clearly not amazing stats. 6A is considered a high rank in Enagic, it's like you've "made it" in the company once you reach it and it's promoted as being a rank where you make a lot of money. The median income for 6A distributors was $5,710 though. Insane. You can make more working part time for minimum wage. 2020 US Enagic Income Disclosure Statement: www.enagic.com/media/pdfviewer/?f=eforms/us/flyer_enagicusa_earnings_disclosure_statement.pdf
Not sure about the time stamps, but the video was a good perspective and very informative. I think the fact that the company blocked you means that your investigation was probably more accurate than they had hoped for.
If something sounds to good to be true it is. If something doesn't take hard work to achieve it probably does. Looking forward to your next deep dive x
@@tridoshic1688 And what makes you think that it is a scam? The machine is amazing, the only person who has been scammed is you by listening to all the fake reviews and poorly researched UA-cam videos! Try for yourself before you make silly remarks and if you don't like then leave your reviews.
Since your video, Hannah Alonzo has become really reputable person to follow in this space as she has a long list of MLM HORROR STORIES where she reads peoples submissions. It's *very* eye opening. She's also a really kind woman in this space offering a lot of compassion for the MLMer up to a point (as she recognises they're victims too).
Oh my gosh yes- I was just watching a video debunking alkaline water about that an hour ago and in it the person showed a clip of someone saying that just because lemons are acidic doesn’t mean they don’t have alkalizing properties when put in the body 😑 And the person who made the debunking video has a chemistry channel so he knows what he’s talking about... and was like no, that’s exactly what it means lol
jzizzles did you even read anymore than a sentence of these? Just looking at the healthline one, i could not find where it says that the minerals in lemons alkalize the *body* as you say they do. On the other hand they say, “while lemon juice may make the pH of the urine more alkaline, it does not have the same effect on the pH of your blood.” And “any health benefits lemon juice may offer are unlikely to come from its purported alkalizing effect.” So are you cherry picking from these articles or just not reading them at all?
jzizzles I’ve never seen someone get so worked up about lemons! Touchy subject I guess. If I was the one that didn’t read, why did you respond with an ad hominem attack instead of demonstrating your claim that I didn’t read? Am I just suppose to take your word for it because you said so? Where does the heathline article say that lemons can alkalize the body specifically because I could only find them saying it alkalizes urine.
As a 71 year old omnivore, I am in awe of the great maturity, insight, and objectivity on display in all of your videos. Perhaps, I just remember how lacking I was in these qualities at age 20. Keep up the excellent work!
This video is a little older so I don't know if anyone will see my comment but: 1) Thank you so much for this content, it clearly took a ton of work/time and I'm very grateful to people who are willing to put in that effort in order to combat misinformation. I feel as though the rising number of people in American society that are willing to dismiss evidence-based information is scary at best, and has and will continue to cause problems going forward. I really appreciate you being one of the people out there that is interested in discouraging people from believing in lies that are harmful to them and others around them. 2) Betting on Zero is an AWESOME documentary, it goes into Herbalife's unethical practices as well as this crazy drama between two billionaires, one of whom is trying to expose Herbalife for what it is and even uses certain stock purchasing/selling practices in order to try to bring the stock of Herbalife down to discourage people from investing. The other billionaire is trying to discredit the guy doing this. It's super interesting and informative.
Avi Kabani you are wrong I was drinking more good quality water before buying my sd501 Kangen machine Please be serious and buy one after that we can have a conversation
understanding multi level marketing isnt exactly PhD worthy...its sad that its still so easy to scam people with pyramid schemes but see if governments care
Something that really concerns me is just how much information is available to us these days. I think it honestly makes us insecure. Most people aren’t well educated in scientific data and can end up misinterpreting things in a scary way. Now that being said I appreciate this video, I’ve been concerned about tap and bottled water for a while now, this has helped!
i haven't watched the video yet, but tap and bottled water are awful.. look at chemtrails it even affects rainwater.. also anything packed in plastic cannot be good.. tap water contains so many toxins all the water we have available is god awful which is why we are all dehydrated
As a kangen water machine owner (not by choice since my parents decided not to consult me to buy this $5000 hunk of Garbo) I think the cost far outweighs any magical claims this machine is said to provide. There is so much water wastage when using this machine, basically if you want a gallon of drinking water, there is also a gallon of water you have to waste (I always say that these people probably have a share in PG&E). There is also this mini water filter that costs around $120 including shipping that you have to replace around 2-3 times per year. Along with that there is also a salt solution that is needed so the water can be enhanced. Basically I hate this machine I have punched it a few times now because of how stupid it is that my parent got tricked by my aunt into buying this thing. Also my grandfather who is diabetic has worked hard and tried to exercise and when his results improved, my aunt (the distributor) sees this, she attributed the improvements to the “holy water” and not the change in diet and lifestyle. This machine is lucky that I am in California, if not I would have bought a gun and put a few holes in it now.
Pure gold. And thank you for the candor. It’s easy to get tricked in the health “easy fix” markets and it’s tough to know what to believe. It’s very refreshing reading true reviews.
funny how i am in the same situation, my parents bought this machine and I said its a wasted of money and didn't even try it for the first few months .. but once I did ... I wouldn't want to go back to tap water or even bottle water .... Kagan water does taste better you gotta admit... ur argument is a the price is too high I also agree with u on that but the water really does taste better in my opinion
I'm Brazilian and I never heard about this water before plus it probably will never impact my life directly because I'm not into pseudoscience or mlm stuff BUT I appreciated so much all the effort that went into this video and I feel educated about elaborated scam strategies in general. Thank you.
@Anna's Analysis I use to work for enagic and I too was a distributor and I own a leveluk sd501 ionizer. With that said, it's just a pyramid scheme and a MLM scam. It's smoke and mirrors, "snake oil" I use my machine now as just a water filter which I buy from another company mind you named A20 which sells water filters that are made in the USA, filter down to 0.5 microns, and are WAAAAAY better than the basic chlorine filtering enagic filters which are only filtering at a fraction of that. As far as health benefits...... None, it's the same as drinking tap water honestly, and to save yourself thousands just spend a few hundred dollars and get yourself a nice under the sink water purification system from home Depot 👍 I regret buying my machine for $4,000 and selling them to others. I'm basically stuck with a fancy counter paper weight and honestly I'm planning on selling it. These machines only cost about $300 to make in the Japan factory to FYI 👍
I am still thinking about purchasing one. I want to hear reviews from people who have actually tried the water. This beats all the plastic that is being thrown away and polluting the earth. I bought a Kirby vacuum cleaner and everybody criticized me. I have had that vacuum cleaner over 20 years and it still works. It hasn't needed any repairs. I believe in buying quality items that last.
These machines have electrodes that still need to be replaced. So they are not environmentally friendly. At least plastic water bottles can be recycled. And then there is all the dangers to the health that ionized alkaline waters present including increasing the risk of cancer and heart disease. Do your research before wasting your money and destroying your health with water ionizers.
Like I always say don’t knock it till you try it. I’m not an owner of this machine, but I’ve been drinking the water for months now if you care about what you eat then you should definitely care about what you’re drinking, definitely this machine is not a water filter at all, but definitely provides the best water available to drink
@@Captain_Smooch These machine make the water alkaline by forming caustic, free radical and disease forming mineral (metal) hydroxides. They are a great way to destroy health. And the only pH they change is in the stomach where stomach acid neutralizes any alkalinity and stomach acid is dangerously reduced in the process.
One of the distributors of the company let me try it for months before I could afford a down payment. Got one and paid it off with commissions and made profits helping others. Best health and business decision I've ever made. I could tell you my story over a zoom call. People who think it's not good for you or that 5k is too much, are really just misinformed imo. I remember one guy I gave it for free too and he liked it, then looked up info on the internet and was convinced it was a scam and called me a scammer. 2 years later he bought one (from someone else) and says he likes it (again) lol.
This is a very thorough video! I don't think anyone else has gone as in depth on kangen water as you have. It's a very long video and that will probably impact your view count but I truly believe you are helping out people by having created this. There has largely been only one narrative on kangen water (from the distributors) and it's so important to have a variety of perspectives. I've heard people share that they did not benefit from the water machine but they stayed silent about it (probably because they didn't want to speak out against the masses)
I have been looking for sources and someone who describes this scam more eloquently than I can. One of my friends got into the kangen water MLM a few months ago, quit her job and is now making insane health claims on Facebook.
Everybody should know that whenever they hear anything about "micro-clustered" water or the "benefits' of "alkalized/alkaline/electrolyzed" water - it is nonsense, absolute BS. There is no such thing a changing the "structure" of liquid water and our stomach acid instantly neutralized and acidifies any of that 'water' as it's marketed.
Aishwarya Tyagi well good luck to her! I’ve done a cost analysis, and you’ll be lucky to make your investment back, especially when you consider spending big coin on advertising every month.
Thank you so much! I was really bout to join one of these and buy one, so you just saved me a lot of time & money! After watching this, it definitely feels scammy lol
Believe me this chick has no idea what shes talking about ive got 37 locations around tbe country and anytime you'd like to sit in my store and listen to storys come on. She's very uneducated
@@justinstrickland736 i agree! She has so much wrong education and her intention is to confuse people and steer them away from getting a Kangen machine. She is a scammer
scam - I mean helping people XD ..... hats off to your research. I was like 2 hours no way.... and guess what.. i watched it .... seriously your hard work is off the charts... how did you covered all the topics... wow ... I really want to appreciate your hard work but i am literally out of words.... so one last word - AMAZING ...
i m using kangen water machine for more than 1 year, i can tell you its a good machine and it produces a good quality and good taste water, BUT, I DONT THINK THE UTILITY MATCHES THE RIDICULOUSLY TOO EXPENSIVE PRICE, for me its just a good taste clean water with no significant impact to my health. My advice: DONT BUY KANGEN WATER MACHINE, just use ordinary water filter jug or if you want to buy a machine just buy one with a reasonable price. IF YOU STILL WANT TO BUY A KANGEN WATER MACHINE, I CAN SELL YOU MINE FOR HALF OF RRP PRICE 😁
Got to appreciate the work and effort that went into this. Additionally I am very impressed about your critical thinking but even more by your ability to built and present a coherent and logical case without being too polarizing.
Do you tast rat poison to know it works? Do you test the water you claim is awesome every time you take a sip to know that the H2 and the beneficial factors in it haven't broken down since the last sip? If not then how do you know they are still present? Peoples testimonials are not scientific fact and hold no weight in claims of benefits to a person. I could break down every claim you make.
As a chemist, the best way to figure out if something is legitimate science and if the distributor is actually knowledgeable is to ask them to explain it in layman's terms. If you truly understood something, you should be able to break it down and explain it in a way that it makes sense for almost everyone.
Wow, this 20-year old just destroyed practically every single Kangen distributor's claim ever made. Major kudos to her for paying attention in school and having the common sense to point out the holes in all the marketing hype.
Also Enagic distributors are forbitten to claim the fact that,the Kangen Water cures Cancer,Diabeties or any other disease,otherwise you will lose the right to be an Enagic distribuitor
She didnt drink Kangen Water in the first place,so why i should care about her opinion,i drink Kangen Water since 2016 and i cant go back by drinking bottled water from supermaket,also all disturbuitors drink Kangen Water everyday because they are using it everyday as their drinkable water
Even if you thought the health benefits were minimal; the system life expectancy is atleast 25 years. How many people purchase filtration pitchers for their water? Now, add the amount of filters getting tossed in the trash. Or the amount of plastic bottles used in comparison to a filtration system thats good quality water and will save the consumers money in the long haul.
How is that any different than the filters in your machine any different they have to be replaced every 3-6 months depending on how often the machine is used. The plastic pitcher for a Brita never needs replacing and the filter is smaller than the filter in your machine. So please explain how it's saving people in the long run?
i have a hypothesis. every time i get a new water bottle or travel mug, i'm awesome at staying hydrated. when i'm hydrated, i feel overall so much better, in so many ways from my joint pain to my dry skin. sooo... could getting a fascinating new piece of technology that makes you interested in drinking water just make you more hydrated because you think it's doing something but it's just doing what water does??
It’s funny, your body works so hard in so many ways to keep specific pHs in different parts of your body. Like if it were that easy to change the pH of your blood/other tissues, we’d all be dead
Actually the water you are drinking is filled with harmful chemicals and honestly it’s aging you. But Kangen water is a miracle it gives your body the oxygen it needs your body cannot regulate its ph levels if your body is acidic... what you are claiming is no where near the truth. There is so so many benefits and honestly if this was a scam or a pyramid scheme then why is it still here? Why are people spending $5000 on water machines if they don’t work? It’s because they do work for gods sake the water that comes out of K8 can remove oil based pesticides off fruits and veggies and can emulsify oils in water. As in you can literally mix oil in water and it won’t separate.
Dear friend this is not the pH of the blood that changes , if so all of us would have been dead till now ! The amazing fact about this amazing unique water is that it helps your cells thrive in alkaline area instead of acidic area , which is very good point in terms of the new science ! Kindly check the words and the meaning behind them instead of judging things or people . Thank you !
Yes but, your body's ability to maintain its pH is greatly impacted by what you put in your body. Fill it with garbage, maintaining the pH becomes more difficult
39:49 Hey, just to make you all aware, this is not at all how professionals test water pH, at least not the ones who make all of our food. I'm a Horticultural student whose focus is crop production and we need to check the water feeding the crops daily in produce greenhouses. We use meters with probes to test both pH and EC as they provide a level of accuracy that other methods, which rely on colour matching by eye, simply does not. However, if you do not have one of these expensive meters you would typically have pH testing paper that you would place individual droplets of water on with a dropper to test to be as accurate as possible, never by placing a random number of drops of a solution into a glass with a sample of varying volume. Anna mentioned him adding different amounts of the dropper fluid, but I also noticed the glasses of water at the end had differing amounts of water in them also. Nothing about this test is scientific in the slightest, but it does look good under the carnival lights I am sure. Excellent video. I wish it had been out 15 years ago, but I am glad it's gotten out eventually.
Agreed, there are pH probes (i.e combination electrodes) that are used for quantitatively accurate pH readings. They work by creating a closed circuit between the electrolytic reference solution inside the probe (usually silver chloride) and the presence of positively charged hydrogen ions outside the probe (in solution). The reference solution (control) generates a constant electric current (in mV) and when introduced to a foreign solution, will then measure the electrical difference (in mV) between the external current (in solution) and internal current (control) before generating a pH reading for the end user. The difference here between the two methods is that a pH probe can give you a discernable quantitative number to work with, while relying on your subjective senses (eye sight) can only ever give you a qualitative understanding of what's going on, which is oftentimes not good enough data to prove a point.
Everybody needs to know that whenever they hear anything about "micro-clustered" water or the "benefits' of "alkalized/alkaline/electrolyzed" water - it is nonsense, absolute BS. There is no such thing a changing the "structure" of liquid water and our stomach acid instantly neutralized and acidifies any of that 'water' as it's marketed.
@@alfaandomega1 could it be that they are drinking more water generally now that they have this expensive machine? That alone would help alleviate their gastro problems!!
@@alfaandomega1 people with gastrointestinal problems should just start taking probiotics! It is usually an imbalance of gut baterias that are the roots of many health problems (or at least that is the first thing that should be checked) also mentalhealth problems. The gut is where immunsystem cells are most concentrated. So it is important to have our gut-bateria/ gut-flora in check and good condition
I bought a kangen machine and I liked this video. Not because I agree with everything in the video but because I am open minded to see all perspectives. I am just driven to find the truth and so I listen to both sides without subscribing to either. I have no prejudice. If you have come across this video I’d say to keep looking. Keep talking to people. Again, this company has been around for a long time. There is a reason, you can’t dispute that. I believe that a lot of the issues are the people, not the product.
Personally, I just found out about this machine after I see a distributor go to a super market looking at what is added to alkaline water. One being the very same I drink when my electrolytes get out of whack. So I researched on my own and had a conversation with this person on Instagram. Honestly, when I presented what I found in my research her only come back was"i can only present what I have personally experienced while drink this water and what others have told me, as if that was convincing enough. Your testimony is your opinion not facts of what you are saying. Look the placebo effect is a strong one and when your mind believes something it is hard to refute it. Look at anti-vaxxers, flat earthers, people who believe in religion. It is very, very hard to change their minds because they have their own research that backs up their claims even though you show them how their research is flawed. Do you boo, I will follow my own research and make a determination on what is beneficial to me.
Great job revealing studies! Another layer of research is who is funding the studies, in many cases that’s very important. For instants there was a study indicating sugar is good for you… Funded by Nestle. A lot of studies are funded by Pharma, you’re probably fine most studies funded by Pharma have positive results for pharmaceuticals negative results for things like supplements. So in many cases, who is funding the studies can be more important than any other factor in the study.
I sends shivers down my spine knowing that spiritually is being used as a way of manipulating other spiritual/ open people into buying into this, it’s actually quite narcissistic. But again it’s led but the top leaders so it makes me feel bad for the people being sucking in, potentially struggling but faking it to hopefully then make it. I have been very close to going for this so I am so glad I stumbled across this amazing in depth video. thank you for your effort and research lovey, you are amazing 🙏🏼 It’s been a wonderful reminder to pay more attention to the leaking of the falseness within stories told!
Most people I know that have been sucked into these things, we struggling at that time. They were targeted and love bombed. Wild claims were made that they wanted to be true. I used to support these people out of guilt, but me supporting the, is not making them rich, it is making the top 1% more money. I will support real small businesses, not mlms anymore.
Nice satire, since there is no physical Dr. Kangen, that is only the company name. Of course, there really is a Mr. "Stay Puffed", I saw him in a movie and he is married to Mrs. Butterworth.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Not sure if you still check the comments for this video, but I just want to show some love! This video was incredibly eye opening for me. I’ve been drinking/ promoting Kangen water for almost 3 years & have been apart of 2 different ‘training platforms’. You presented more thorough research here than I have ever done. You’ve inspired me to question more carefully the sources I place my trust in.
I'm not sure if you'll see my reply to you since this comment is coming so much later, but the fact that you posted your comment nine months ago is actually why I wanted to respond. After watching this video did you watch Anna's other kangen water/BAM deep dives? Did you check out the other informative videos on UA-cam about kangen water and MLMs in general? Lastly are you still involved in promoting kangen water? I am really curious actually because I found it cool/surprising/impressive that you decided to do outside research while belonging to a company that actively discourages exactly that and so I'm interested to hear what your long term response has been to the conflicting information. Anyway, hope to hear back from you and that you're doing well
@@dahliacheung6020 hey there! I just got notification of your comment & thanks for this. Yes, I’ve seen her other analysis videos and researched a lot about the structure of MLMs. They are not set up for people to earn money. I actually love Kangen water and have personally benefited a lot from drinking it. But I no longer promote it or affiliate with platforms who promote it. I think the product is good but the business structure is not. When I left my platform I was shamed my “mentors” never asked if I okay or cared to check on me. I feel like a whole different person since leaving and am very open about my experiences in the hopes that others don’t get sucked into a money trap.
How did you get such good critical thinking skills? I went to a college prep highschool and college and the greatest thing I gained was critical thinking skills but I woulda drank this snake oil if it wasn’t for my smart teachers.
Ask an Aerospace engineer they will educate you in quality and ISO since they know the hard work and perfection it takes to get them. The enagic machines aka kangen water are increíble from an Aerospace engineer standpoint since they only use materials approved for medical and aerospace. This girl is so uneducated in the subject she is jut very silly.
@@evantochydlowski4787 Yes, elsewhere in the comments, I mentioned my problem with lack of sweating. Made me heat-intolerant. But the first summer after getting the machine, I noticed I was sweating once it got up to 70 degrees. So I assume my body somehow absorbs the Kangen water more easily. I also used the 2.5 ph water on my dog's eye that had conjunctivitis, and it was completely healed by the next day.
I remember reading about Dr Ancel Keys who did a study on countries where heart disease was low due to eating a low fat diet. He included Japan in this study. Unfortunately it was later discovered that Japan does have heart disease in spite of their so called low fat eating. Apparently dying of heart disease in Japan is so shameful that it is never put on the death certificate. I don't know for certain if this is true but it highlights how a study can be manipulated to support an individual's hypothesis.
LOVE this video! Thank you for all the hard work you put into it. Incredibly researched and well done. I just wanted to throw out a podcast recommendation for people - The Dream. The first season is specifically about MLMs and is incredibly fascinating and there is even an episode that gets into how politics is roped into it, which is something I had no idea about but explains a lot about the world we live. The second season is about the wellness industry and how all of this ties in together. Highly recommended! :)
Wow Anna almost 2 hours long!! The amount of time and effort you have put into this video - honestly we could call it a documentary - it's insane! 👏🏼👏🏼
I do not sell the water, and I do not own a machine. However I actually tried the water, therefore it makes me more able to speak on the effects of the water. At first, I felt like I was sick for a day or two. Also my back started breaking out in pimples. But after this detox phase, I noticed a better night's sleep, and more energy. My wife knows I only drink 2-3 glasses of water per day, but with ionized water I drank 5-7 glasses because my body seemed to crave it. I also looked into some peer reviewed studies, and clearly there is scientific evidence. Perhaps some people make bogus claims, but the science is there
If the science is there then the company would be promoting it on their website. However, since it is illegal to promote or claim anything about health benefits without scientific evidence and research I am going to say the scientific part you are claiming is bogus.
@@gudemeneelydoes chemo cure cancer? An oncologist told me it would increase my chances of survival by 5%! Therefore, no, chemo does not cure cancer yet it’s still pushed as the gold standard of treatment, despite the fact that many people die from chemo toxicity. It’s a risk YOU take. In my opinion, the only real scam is modern petrochemical medicine! Wake up people! 🤦🏻♀️
The science isn't there. "Correlation does not imply causation" + logical fallacy. Please skip to the part about the studies she reviewed. The science is NOT there.
I love drinking my Kangen water, I do not sell this water, but I want to give a good testimonial, because I feel this water enhances my health. My skins looks great from washing my face with this water. Drinking this water makes me feel calmer, and I have a lot more energy. I am a healthy person in my 40's and this is my personal experience. This is fresh water, so naturally this water will be better for you then drinking out of a plastic bottle that have been sitting in a truck for 6 months. I believe investing in this machine has been a good investment in my good health, yes, it is expensive, but getting cancer or another disease will cost you more. Like you say in your video big Pharma is in the business for the sick, that is how they profit, therefore, that is why there is not scientific backing for this water. The fact is that antioxidants are good for you.
You have a lot to learn about this water. The high pH waters made by these machines are not pure as these are not water purifiers. And the water is a great way to destroy health. The water is made alkaline by the production of caustic, FREE RADICAL FORMING, mineral (metal) hydroxides. In short, these are dilute versions of dangerous substances such as Drano (potassium hydroxide), lye (sodium hydroxide) and caustic lime (calcium hydroxide). All these products comes with warning labels not to ingest or allow contact with tissues since they are so damaging to tissues. These mineral (metal) hydroxides are unstable and dissociate forming the dangerous free radical known as the hydroxyl radical, which has been lined to cancer and other diseases. These hydroxides also neutralize stomach acid, which can lead to numerous health issues. These include cancer for a variety of reasons, heart disease, immune suppression, digestive issues, allergies, some forms of arthritis, hormone and neurotransmitter imbalances, etc.
I don't know how many.people are drinking bottled water sitting in a truck for 6.months. my biggest worry would be why a the manufacturer of such an amazing product isn't supporting the great things this product has done for its users. Oh, I know, because it is illegal to make claims without scientific evidence and research. Many things can attribute to a healthier life style. Drinking more water than before, eating healthier foods, moving more. So many things also, the placebo effect. I guarantee that if you gave people a water filtration system from Amazon and told them all the great benefits it has and convinced them of it they would come back making the same claim you are. The placebo effect is extremely strong. The mind can do amazing thing when it doesn't know the difference.
I've been in Japan for years, all combined. I have NEVER seen or heard of this machine...? Reminds me of all those "Ikigai" books that are popular in the West. When I asked my Japanese friends, they were all like: "Finding your ikigai? That's for bored pensioners." When I asked them what their ikigai was, they said "work" or "my family". Not some deep goal that touches four elements of fulfilment.
Exactly, I asked my friend fro Japan about these machines and she had no clue what I was talking about. Furthermore, the Japanese Ministry of Health considers these devices to be a scam as well.
I've been a silent viewer for awhile and I like how you really dig deep into matters. Kagen water was trying to be big on selling their water back in 2010 in CA. I don't know what happened to all their independent distributors but you really don't hear about it anymore. I have a question for you and I don't know if your into YOUNG LIVING. There has been a lot of negative controversy lately. What are your thoughts? Happy day.
I think essential oils are great for aromatherapy... like calming you and therefore helping you sleep and the very other few things they’ve been proven to do, but that’s it. I do have young living EOs because that’s the brand my mom would get and she would give me some but I wouldn’t purchase any on my own in the future due to the fact that theyre an MLM and I will not be supporting MLMs :) hope that answers your question
I still see plenty of Kangen Water distributors in Washington State and Hawaii. They all sell the idea of entrepreneurship and owning a business without actually telling you what they sell unless you pay them.
I have a friend who sells these and calls herself and entrepreneur. I have been trying to look into it but there was nothing like 1 UA-cam video addressing all the points
the job of the company is to sell, maintain, repair if necessary, and logistics. The job of a distributor is to educate the public about the technology and machine use where many distributors are not educated to do. This review shows it.
17:33 This fetishization of Eastern cultures by Western cultures is a bizarre and insidious form of racism. I'd love to see a whole video of how "made in Japan" or "traditional Japanese _____ " is used to help sell various items in the U.S.
Interesting, I’ve never thought of it that way. To me what I’ve seen has always just seemed like people see eastern countries as more “woke” because of certain ideas or concepts that are more common there especially related to health and spirituality and therefore are more trustworthy of ideas and products that are made there, but I had never considered that to be racist. Can you explain more of what you mean?
@@AnnasAnalysis Layla F. Saad discusses cultural appropriation on Day 13 of "Me and White Supremacy." People in the U.S. are perpetuating stereotypes by buying into it, as you described. They fetishize Japanese culture as a pinnacle of health and wellness.
Kim McPhillips I see. I guess I don’t understand how it has an insidious nature though. It just seems to me that people who have those beliefs just lack some critical thinking skills... but also it’s possible that we’ve just seen different people and companies doing these things so I’m maybe just not familiar with those who use it in an insidious way- I haven’t seen the companies that use it to sell products, just individuals so that’s probably why
It's not fetishization. In Hungary we like to buy Japanese products including cars, electronics, etc. Cause they are better quality and will most likely last longer. We prefer them over Chinese, Korean or other countries products.
As a trained biochemist and a husband to a wife, who is thoroughly convinced that Enagic is an opportunity and not a scam, I am beyond thankful for the time you spent and the content you put out. It is so frustrating to present facts, logic, and common sense, only to be countered with weak and invalid counter-arguments that came out of a sales script. I hope that you will find yourself working for a regulating agency like the FTC or the FBI, where you can be more empowered to do greater goods...BTW can you point to me where I can find the part about the $5K/$10K per month residual income that Enagic promises to 6A2-3. I'm sure the fine print tells a different story. In fact, I would appreciate the actual document if you happen to have a copy. Thank you.
Me and my dad just started this business a month ago we got a ton of leads!!!! Anybody who has vision will see this through! It’s not a scam the water does change peoples lives
@zackbland Yeah, because how can you sell a product that can't back up your claims? Every one of the distributors I have seen claims it does wonderful things for the body. Yet the company that manufactures the product doesn't put one benefit to back up said claim. Do you know why? Because it is illegal to make such claims without scientific evidence and research. I find that a huge red flag. Testimonials are great and all however, I can convince my grandmother that placing a water filter off Amazon would work wonders on her joints she will believe it and begin experiencing less pain and more mobility. Is it the water no, it is the belief that some amazing is happening when it is her own body that is changing how she thinks. It is absolutely no different than how anti-vaxxers or flat-earthers think. The placebo effect is amazing on how it works on the mind. Also blind faith.
Mate the level of detail and effort you put into going through all of that information is absolutely astonishing! I'm totally impressed! Love all your content. It's so refreshing to hear your perspective on things.
als es zum "Soda" kam dachte ich tatsächlich an den vielen Deutschen die bestimmt eher selten stilles Wasser trinken, aber statdessen kohlensäurehaltiges Wasser was mWn ja einigermaßen schon Soda ist :D
My ex purchased one of these expensive machines and was pressured to sell more to other people. I thought the whole thing was strange but he was insistent on getting one. He drank from the machine everyday and got angry at me for not using it because he spent like $4,000 on it.
Yep, could be a scam. I bought one anyway though. Millionaire with cancer that's way beyond stage 4. Liver is about 30% cancer now. I just laughed and refused to hand over my info for being a distributor. Installed it today. Check back with me in a year. If my video updates end or I fail to answer here, then, hah, I guess it didnt work.
Read my other posts on the topic. This water will not stop cancer, but does promote it through a variety of mechanisms including inhibiting methylation and suppressing the immune system. The best known and proven cure for cancers is actually ozone therapy, which selectively kills cancer cells, boosts anrticancer cytokines and superoxide dismutase, destroys cancer pathogens and many carcinogens and boosts the immune system. There are all sorts of studies on this that can be found on PubMed.
I wished I’d watched this video 2 years ago before getting sucked into this scam by AI. Kangen water and it’s crew of lifestyle marketers have prayed on so many people. I was roped into this exact scam. $17,000 financed at 12%. They all hide behind rented lambos and fake content. Absolute scam and should be taken off the market.
I never thought I would buy a bottle of water until I got it,I thought people that buy bottle of water were nuts but now I'm shopping for better water filter after Brita,alexapure, and more..
But but but...yea I agree lol. I hate mlms targeting those people who need help and protection Edit: also isn’t the main ph control of your blood the ratio of o2 and co2. Hence why if you hold your breath your body panics and tries to get you to breath. But if you breath another gas (helium) you can suffocate easily
Yes, Just alkaline water is not exactly the same and is riding on the lack of education of folks that don't understand this process..! electrolysis is a bit diff than the 9.0+ pH type waters at the grocery store....
@@justinstrickland736 electrical change still would induce a chemical change because energy likes to go to its lowest state. This is even how batteries and electricity work.
Oh god, anna, this is fantastic. Microclustered water? Get out of here thats not real, yes the distance between the water molecules can change, but only to a really small degree and that's due to temperature. I'm finishing my bachelors of science in chemistry, and everything youve researched checks out and is easy to understand from my perspective. Love the video, hate people using fake science to scam people.
Have you done the test of the "three sieves" of Socrates. 1 Do you have this machine and have you been using it for at least a year? 2 If you don't have it then you are talking about what you don't know. 3 If you are talking about what you don't know then why should I listen to you?
Excellent vid, thank you! The whole idea of altering your entire body's ph by drinking water is odd, and shows a lack of understanding of a lot of subjects. In general, if it sounds too good to be true, it is. I'm looking forward to the next vid!!!
What is more antioxidant than kangen water? Answer me concretely with arguments! I measured the water I drink has -824 mv The minerals in the water make the ph to be 9.5, I took the water to the laboratory and they told me that the water is very healthy for consumption. I have been drinking 4 liters on average every day for 7 years and my health is perfect! Such a product can only be sold through direct sales, but not many understand this.
@@thinkforyourself6260 sure the video is very strange. How can you talk about kangen water without having an enagic ionizer next to you, without concretely showing the real characteristics of the water, without personally testing the water to see the values, without personally taking the water to water analysis laboratories. By the way, I took the water to several laboratories and a lady there, when she saw the results, told me that such water can only be found in the Himalayan glaciers. I challenge her to call someone with an ionizer and show concretely the characteristics and values of the water!
I agree try the water and then tell us. What's the difference in that case. From my understanding the body should be acidic from mouth to vagina and alkaline in muscles , btw the suggestion to take anti acids for acidic gut instead is wholly flawed , the stomach will produce even more acid to correct it self. So many inflammatory diseases nowadays I think it would be worth trying but that's where we get a choice
The same way all those "studies" that were quoted never had one either. NOT ONE OF THE STUDIES YOU QUACKS LIKE TO QUOTE was done with your machines. Skip to the part about the studies and you'll see why this video is far from wack and you're making you look silly. There is not one legitimate scientific study that you can quote that is about the machine in itself and the one video that did do research using one of the machines showed it was not the best one to buy.
I personally know of two friends who were suffering from weeping eczema and another from aches and pains due to inflammation for more than 10 years. They had tried everything that medicine had to offer but there was no cure other than temporary relief. After purchasing the kangen machine both have fully recovered. I was planning to buy one but now after seeing this video I am having second thoughts.
After you saw your friends life’s improve? They are people who you know and won’t lie to you. All of the sudden this video from a stranger makes you doubt? 😂😂
Number 1 red flag and in my opinion the only one that counts. Why can't a company that makes the machines back up the claims distributors make? Hmm. Oh, that right, because it's illegal to make claims on what the machine can do without scientific research and evidence. Someone giving a testimony as to I did everything I could to get rid of xyz and I bought this and with ABC months it went away....that is supposed to convince me? Did you change detergent, soap, did the dr. prescribe new medication during that time. Was the only thing you did differently was drink water? Did you drink more water than normal, did you try drinking other water during this time? These are questions I would as my friends if they are making this claim.
Thanks so much for this!! What frustrates me is that some of the ideas and beliefs of these people are quite radical in a good way (imo) e.g. challenging the status quo, challenging the idea that you have to get a 9-5 to succeed, questioning pharmaceutical companies and the elite generally etc. And you just know that those who are challenged by MLMers can say 'oh look how stupid it is that these people challenge us, they're so stupid and ignorant', and consequently tarnish the reputation of any person or group who wants to challenge the establishment. It's like how as soon as you criticise 21st century capitalism people jump to call you a communist or a Marxist because anyone who is left wing or wants society to go in a more socialist direction is automatically a total idiot communist, and therefore nothing they say has any validity. Frustrating that that's how it is, but sadly we are yet to live in a world in which critical thinking, openmindedness or asking questions is genuinely encouraged or accepted, although I think it's improving :)
People don't say that stuff until 1 of 2 things: 1) There is a BS Product + Claims involved 2) The business structure is that of a "pyramid" relying on recruitment. Of course they put forth some good ideas/beliefs , that is how they rope people in.
I think it’s great to challenge the status quo! People are upset because less than 1% of people in MLMs make a liveable wage. You can look at all their financial disclosure reports. I know many that have done this, they work much harder than I ever will, only to make next to nothing. They sell tons of stuff, yet since there is no recruiting being done, they barely get compensated. Big pharma should be questioned, but at the same time, don’t tell me supplements will cure cancer or make me fertile. Mlmers make wild unsubstantiated claims to prey on people.
@@Ettrix On a pyramid you cant earn more than the person who introduced you in the company,in Enagic you dont have bosses like in any other company,if you are introduced by a person in Enagic and you start selling products,and you sell more than the person who introduced you in Enagic,and you can make more money than him

Dude the woman who said she drank a gallon of water a day and felt dehydrated was probably OVERHYDRATED I was once so dehydrated I passed out, so I know how that feels, but recently I was drinking a lot of water and felt like I did the time I fainted from dehydration. So obviously I was like wtf and I started researching and realized that drinking too much water can actually make you feel almost identically to dehydration, especially because it messes with your sodium levels. Like literally I ate popcorn and the salt made me feel normal again immediately. I didn’t need to spend thousands of dollars I just ate some cheap popcorn. Drinking enough water is important, but sadly a lot of people don’t realize you can go too far the other way. It’s easy to think “it’s just water how can it hurt to have more”, but in reality our bodies function on a specific balance. And of course this company is benefiting from that misinformation as well as other ignorance bc they care more about money than actually helping :(
I really liked the concept with the Live Chat for this particular video. Because it was a opportunity to see how kangen people deal and react, not making any valid scientific points about the product in live! Thanks again for your huge effort.
Very glad before I spent 5k 😆😭😭 jk I wasn’t gonna buy it but very thankful for her making this video. Saw this a few times and was curious to actually buy one sometime soon.
SO heres what I'm thinking...the brain is SO so powerful, and with the power of suggestion or the placebo effect etc etc, some of these people who drink Kangen water may be healing themselves. Theres a great book out there that talks about how to 'heal yourself' called The Brains Way of Healing. It is SO SO interesting, give it a read if you're interested :) edit: i posted this around the 28min mark so idk if u said something to this degree later on in the video. Will be watching the full thing tho don't worry edit: AH yes at 33mins u do talk about the placebo effect haha good!
Really informative video, just a tip for the future, if you ever need access to a scientific journal/article just paste the DOI code onto sci-hub (its basically a shadow library that bypasses paywalls). helps me out as a grad student so i dont have to hound my PI for full articles! and your so right about comparative studies lacking in this field...what works on a mouse is not guaranteed to work on a human...scientists work hard to flesh out biological processes down to the last detail so they wont have to say “oh its just a mice thing i guess” lol
Hiromi Shinya (inventor of the colonoscope) is on the board of Enagic. It's confusing because he has a lot of great data on the positive effects of his diet, I want to see more studies that can explain why so many of Shinyas patients have such obvious positive effects.
Really? Where have you seen this? I myself have never heard of this before (I live in Uusimaa). And to call it a "fever" would indicate that it's widespread, or? I am very curious if you could link to some sources :)
Ok!! She never even tried the water herself lok😂💦 That’s all her opinion. Just know UA-camrs make good money advertising things that interest people by the amount of viewers you generate I have Been drinking kangen water now daily every since 2017 and luv it👍🏽👍🏽 Bottled water is so unhealthy by far because it’s chemically treated and sits in plastic bottles and nothing but a billion dollar industry
Ate you a doctor? What’s your credentials ?Before u make these negative comments, u should have tested kangen water for at least 1 year. Girl u don’t know what are u taking about I don’t think u ever tired kangen water consistently. The only way to experience kangen water health benefits is drinking it consistently everyday in order to get results. did u know that many Top doctors are endorsing kangen water?
Great info. The question i guess is has she tried the water? I am a distributor and have been drinking the water for 10 years and I have seen it help a lot of people for sure.
Lol….I just re read your post…you’ve seen it help a lot of people “for sure”…and you have been drinking it for 10 years…so, what has it done for you? 🤨🧐…or is that not important to share? You sound like a scammer for real…now I see why Daniel H. is cracking up…you sound foolish.
Interesting that the leader of the 'breakaway movement' is promoting how she made millions off a company that also participates in shrimp farming. She's an outspoken vegan and therefore supposedly against all forms of animal exploitation. Hmmmmm.
I agree to an extent but also it’s possible most of these bam people don’t know about that. I’m not sure how much they pay attention to enagic news but I couldn’t find any info on any of enagics side hustles on their English website- I had to just click random things in Japanese on their Japanese website hahah
Japanese people being generally more healthy in terms of longevity has everything to do with their universal health care system and its heavy focus on preventative medicine. Interesting how no one in the US tends to mention that part.
@@DanielDeadweight they have heavily preserved or processed foods. But Japanese governments release rules, they will tax the company that worked any overweight / obese employees. That's why people there have to limit their diet, to be able to get jobs.
The biggest red flag is when the company that manufacturers the product won't promote the benefits on their website. The reason for that is because it is illegal to do so without scientific evidence and research to back it up.
Your sources are limited. The enagic brand is from Okinawa where the longest living humans are still living. Why don’t you interview the medical doctors who are using the ionizers. The machines are lined with SILVER and is not overpriced for the functions of each machine has.
My understanding is that "kangen" water is authentic. It's basically all about water stagnation. In nature, good drinking water is distilled by rain, mineralized by running across the Earth's surface, filtered by porous rock, and carries an electromagnetic charge from the Earth's surface. The relationship between conductive mineral water, electricity, and magnets (gravity, lightning) is important to molecularity destagnate water. Kangen water does this by passing purified mineral water across electromagnified platinum plates. Because platinum plating is required, because it is an electrical device handling water regularly, the manufacturing costs of these machines is very high. Not only that but they require an ro system with a mineral cartridge system and require regular maintenance. The whole system is simply expensive. Because of this Enagic has opted for a personal sales distribution approach and it all seems kind of pyramid schemey. There's a lot of pseudoscientific marketing spread by independent retailers. However, behind the confusion, the devices work and are authentic.
@@Nyder in that case all you would need is 10-20 dollars worth of off the shelf items to turn your RO water into hydrogen water, why pay 5K for this machine? A simple power supply, couple of electrodes with a large surface area, and some salt/baking soda.. Its a scam bro!
@@pashinlesh2069 Because it's an electronic device hooked up to a power outlet that has water running through it. It requires platinum plating and the highest manufacturing standards. That's why they're so expensive.

Thank you for reading before commenting:
In the live chat, a distributor informed me that you you don’t have to give the company your SSN and become a distributor just to buy the product and someone else sent me a screenshot of the back office to confirm that!
Also, while I know I probably made it seem like I think this in the video, I do not think kangen water is a scam. Enagic makes basically no claims about the water, it's the distributors/customers. Customers can say whatever they want about any product and that doesn't make something a scam. Like I could say grapes cure diabetes but that doesn't make grapes a scam. If grape companies were saying they did then that would be a different story.
OCTOBER 2021 UPDATE: Enagic has finally put out an income disclosure statement. According to this document, the median income for all US distributors in 2020 was $440 (median= half made more, half made less). Only 1/3 of distributors made more than $1,000 in the whole year. This is certainly better than some MLMs, but still clearly not amazing stats.
6A is considered a high rank in Enagic, it's like you've "made it" in the company once you reach it and it's promoted as being a rank where you make a lot of money. The median income for 6A distributors was $5,710 though. Insane. You can make more working part time for minimum wage.

Not sure about the time stamps, but the video was a good perspective and very informative. I think the fact that the company blocked you means that your investigation was probably more accurate than they had hoped for.
David Pekarski the company did not block me, an independent distributor did :)
@@AnnasAnalysis oh! That is much different.

It's funny when influencers add lemon to their alkaline water! smh
Oh my gosh yes- I was just watching a video debunking alkaline water about that an hour ago and in it the person showed a clip of someone saying that just because lemons are acidic doesn’t mean they don’t have alkalizing properties when put in the body 😑
And the person who made the debunking video has a chemistry channel so he knows what he’s talking about... and was like no, that’s exactly what it means lol
@@jzizzles7799 how does an acidic food alkalize your body? can you provide a reputable source for that claim?
jzizzles did you even read anymore than a sentence of these? Just looking at the healthline one, i could not find where it says that the minerals in lemons alkalize the *body* as you say they do. On the other hand they say, “while lemon juice may make the pH of the urine more alkaline, it does not have the same effect on the pH of your blood.” And “any health benefits lemon juice may offer are unlikely to come from its purported alkalizing effect.”
So are you cherry picking from these articles or just not reading them at all?
jzizzles
I’ve never seen someone get so worked up about lemons! Touchy subject I guess.
If I was the one that didn’t read, why did you respond with an ad hominem attack instead of demonstrating your claim that I didn’t read? Am I just suppose to take your word for it because you said so? Where does the heathline article say that lemons can alkalize the body specifically because I could only find them saying it alkalizes urine.

This video is a little older so I don't know if anyone will see my comment but: 1) Thank you so much for this content, it clearly took a ton of work/time and I'm very grateful to people who are willing to put in that effort in order to combat misinformation. I feel as though the rising number of people in American society that are willing to dismiss evidence-based information is scary at best, and has and will continue to cause problems going forward. I really appreciate you being one of the people out there that is interested in discouraging people from believing in lies that are harmful to them and others around them.
2) Betting on Zero is an AWESOME documentary, it goes into Herbalife's unethical practices as well as this crazy drama between two billionaires, one of whom is trying to expose Herbalife for what it is and even uses certain stock purchasing/selling practices in order to try to bring the stock of Herbalife down to discourage people from investing.

Lmao I think you are being sarcastic 😂😂
Something that really concerns me is just how much information is available to us these days. I think it honestly makes us insecure. Most people aren’t well educated in scientific data and can end up misinterpreting things in a scary way. Now that being said I appreciate this video, I’ve been concerned about tap and bottled water for a while now, this has helped!
i haven't watched the video yet, but tap and bottled water are awful.. look at chemtrails it even affects rainwater.. also anything packed in plastic cannot be good.. tap water contains so many toxins all the water we have available is god awful which is why we are all dehydrated
As a kangen water machine owner (not by choice since my parents decided not to consult me to buy this $5000 hunk of Garbo) I think the cost far outweighs any magical claims this machine is said to provide. There is so much water wastage when using this machine, basically if you want a gallon of drinking water, there is also a gallon of water you have to waste (I always say that these people probably have a share in PG&E). There is also this mini water filter that costs around $120 including shipping that you have to replace around 2-3 times per year. Along with that there is also a salt solution that is needed so the water can be enhanced. Basically I hate this machine I have punched it a few times now because of how stupid it is that my parent got tricked by my aunt into buying this thing. Also my grandfather who is diabetic has worked hard and tried to exercise and when his results improved, my aunt (the distributor) sees this, she attributed the improvements to the “holy water” and not the change in diet and lifestyle. This machine is lucky that I am in California, if not I would have bought a gun and put a few holes in it now.
This comment made my day!! Thank you!! 😂
Pure gold. And thank you for the candor. It’s easy to get tricked in the health “easy fix” markets and it’s tough to know what to believe. It’s very refreshing reading true reviews.

@Anna's Analysis I use to work for enagic and I too was a distributor and I own a leveluk sd501 ionizer. With that said, it's just a pyramid scheme and a MLM scam. It's smoke and mirrors, "snake oil" I use my machine now as just a water filter which I buy from another company mind you named A20 which sells water filters that are made in the USA, filter down to 0.5 microns, and are WAAAAAY better than the basic chlorine filtering enagic filters which are only filtering at a fraction of that. As far as health benefits...... None, it's the same as drinking tap water honestly, and to save yourself thousands just spend a few hundred dollars and get yourself a nice under the sink water purification system from home Depot 👍 I regret buying my machine for $4,000 and selling them to others. I'm basically stuck with a fancy counter paper weight and honestly I'm planning on selling it. These machines only cost about $300 to make in the Japan factory to FYI 👍
I am still thinking about purchasing one. I want to hear reviews from people who have actually tried the water. This beats all the plastic that is being thrown away and polluting the earth. I bought a Kirby vacuum cleaner and everybody criticized me. I have had that vacuum cleaner over 20 years and it still works. It hasn't needed any repairs. I believe in buying quality items that last.
These machines have electrodes that still need to be replaced. So they are not environmentally friendly. At least plastic water bottles can be recycled.
And then there is all the dangers to the health that ionized alkaline waters present including increasing the risk of cancer and heart disease. Do your research before wasting your money and destroying your health with water ionizers.
Like I always say don’t knock it till you try it. I’m not an owner of this machine, but I’ve been drinking the water for months now if you care about what you eat then you should definitely care about what you’re drinking, definitely this machine is not a water filter at all, but definitely provides the best water available to drink
@@Captain_Smooch These machine make the water alkaline by forming caustic, free radical and disease forming mineral (metal) hydroxides. They are a great way to destroy health.
And the only pH they change is in the stomach where stomach acid neutralizes any alkalinity and stomach acid is dangerously reduced in the process.
One of the distributors of the company let me try it for months before I could afford a down payment. Got one and paid it off with commissions and made profits helping others. Best health and business decision I've ever made. I could tell you my story over a zoom call. People who think it's not good for you or that 5k is too much, are really just misinformed imo. I remember one guy I gave it for free too and he liked it, then looked up info on the internet and was convinced it was a scam and called me a scammer. 2 years later he bought one (from someone else) and says he likes it (again) lol.

This is a very thorough video! I don't think anyone else has gone as in depth on kangen water as you have. It's a very long video and that will probably impact your view count but I truly believe you are helping out people by having created this. There has largely been only one narrative on kangen water (from the distributors) and it's so important to have a variety of perspectives. I've heard people share that they did not benefit from the water machine but they stayed silent about it (probably because they didn't want to speak out against the masses)
I have been looking for sources and someone who describes this scam more eloquently than I can. One of my friends got into the kangen water MLM a few months ago, quit her job and is now making insane health claims on Facebook.
Everybody should know that whenever they hear anything about "micro-clustered" water or the "benefits' of "alkalized/alkaline/electrolyzed" water - it is nonsense, absolute BS. There is no such thing a changing the "structure" of liquid water and our stomach acid instantly neutralized and acidifies any of that 'water' as it's marketed.

Thank you so much! I was really bout to join one of these and buy one, so you just saved me a lot of time & money! After watching this, it definitely feels scammy lol
Believe me this chick has no idea what shes talking about ive got 37 locations around tbe country and anytime you'd like to sit in my store and listen to storys come on. She's very uneducated
best decision I ever made as working with Enagic

scam - I mean helping people XD ..... hats off to your research. I was like 2 hours no way.... and guess what.. i watched it ....
seriously your hard work is off the charts... how did you covered all the topics... wow ... I really want to appreciate your hard work but i am literally out of words.... so one last word - AMAZING ...
I just want to join many other reviewers in saying “Thank you!” for producing this video. Thorough, objective, honest.
i m using kangen water machine for more than 1 year, i can tell you its a good machine and it produces a good quality and good taste water, BUT, I DONT THINK THE UTILITY MATCHES THE RIDICULOUSLY TOO EXPENSIVE PRICE, for me its just a good taste clean water with no significant impact to my health. My advice: DONT BUY KANGEN WATER MACHINE, just use ordinary water filter jug or if you want to buy a machine just buy one with a reasonable price. IF YOU STILL WANT TO BUY A KANGEN WATER MACHINE, I CAN SELL YOU MINE FOR HALF OF RRP PRICE 😁
Hong Kong Ranked top ten highest life expectancy 2020, Most ppl only drink COOKED TAP WATER. lol
Got to appreciate the work and effort that went into this. Additionally I am very impressed about your critical thinking but even more by your ability to built and present a coherent and logical case without being too polarizing.
What effort,to not even taste the Kangen Water
Do you tast rat poison to know it works? Do you test the water you claim is awesome every time you take a sip to know that the H2 and the beneficial factors in it haven't broken down since the last sip? If not then how do you know they are still present? Peoples testimonials are not scientific fact and hold no weight in claims of benefits to a person. I could break down every claim you make.
As a chemist, the best way to figure out if something is legitimate science and if the distributor is actually knowledgeable is to ask them to explain it in layman's terms. If you truly understood something, you should be able to break it down and explain it in a way that it makes sense for almost everyone.
I did and was satisfied with what I was told by the distributor
@@SweetGypsyMamma213probably because you’re a gullible idiot.
Wow, this 20-year old just destroyed practically every single Kangen distributor's claim ever made.
Major kudos to her for paying attention in school and having the common sense to point out the holes in all the marketing hype.
only if her research was correct... it is not
@@shannonkohut4660 how?
I use alkaline water and see the results everyday.
Also Enagic distributors are forbitten to claim the fact that,the Kangen Water cures Cancer,Diabeties or any other disease,otherwise you will lose the right to be an Enagic distribuitor
She didnt drink Kangen Water in the first place,so why i should care about her opinion,i drink Kangen Water since 2016 and i cant go back by drinking bottled water from supermaket,also all disturbuitors drink Kangen Water everyday because they are using it everyday as their drinkable water
Of course they all have to drink from maison jars, there is no other container which can hold this pure, magical, miraculous water 😂
I am drinking a glass of tap water as I watch this.
You are drinking chlorine
Oh my gosh I feel like Anna hasn't posted in so long so this is gonna be a good one
Even if you thought the health benefits were minimal; the system life expectancy is atleast 25 years. How many people purchase filtration pitchers for their water? Now, add the amount of filters getting tossed in the trash. Or the amount of plastic bottles used in comparison to a filtration system thats good quality water and will save the consumers money in the long haul.
How is that any different than the filters in your machine any different they have to be replaced every 3-6 months depending on how often the machine is used. The plastic pitcher for a Brita never needs replacing and the filter is smaller than the filter in your machine. So please explain how it's saving people in the long run?
i have a hypothesis. every time i get a new water bottle or travel mug, i'm awesome at staying hydrated. when i'm hydrated, i feel overall so much better, in so many ways from my joint pain to my dry skin. sooo... could getting a fascinating new piece of technology that makes you interested in drinking water just make you more hydrated because you think it's doing something but it's just doing what water does??
It’s funny, your body works so hard in so many ways to keep specific pHs in different parts of your body. Like if it were that easy to change the pH of your blood/other tissues, we’d all be dead
Exactly.
Finally! Thank youu
Actually the water you are drinking is filled with harmful chemicals and honestly it’s aging you. But Kangen water is a miracle it gives your body the oxygen it needs your body cannot regulate its ph levels if your body is acidic... what you are claiming is no where near the truth. There is so so many benefits and honestly if this was a scam or a pyramid scheme then why is it still here? Why are people spending $5000 on water machines if they don’t work? It’s because they do work for gods sake the water that comes out of K8 can remove oil based pesticides off fruits and veggies and can emulsify oils in water. As in you can literally mix oil in water and it won’t separate.
Dear friend this is not the pH of the blood that changes , if so all of us would have been dead till now !
The amazing fact about this amazing unique water is that it helps your cells thrive in alkaline area instead of acidic area , which is very good point in terms of the new science !
Kindly check the words and the meaning behind them instead of judging things or people .
Thank you !
Yes but, your body's ability to maintain its pH is greatly impacted by what you put in your body. Fill it with garbage, maintaining the pH becomes more difficult
39:49 Hey, just to make you all aware, this is not at all how professionals test water pH, at least not the ones who make all of our food. I'm a Horticultural student whose focus is crop production and we need to check the water feeding the crops daily in produce greenhouses. We use meters with probes to test both pH and EC as they provide a level of accuracy that other methods, which rely on colour matching by eye, simply does not. However, if you do not have one of these expensive meters you would typically have pH testing paper that you would place individual droplets of water on with a dropper to test to be as accurate as possible, never by placing a random number of drops of a solution into a glass with a sample of varying volume.
Anna mentioned him adding different amounts of the dropper fluid, but I also noticed the glasses of water at the end had differing amounts of water in them also. Nothing about this test is scientific in the slightest, but it does look good under the carnival lights I am sure.
Excellent video. I wish it had been out 15 years ago, but I am glad it's gotten out eventually.
Thanks for sharing that!
also is no one talking about how damaging water of that pH would be!!!! like bleach is less alkaline fml
Engagic actually uses a probe -and that boy doing that drop test does not represent the company’s views as a whole
Agreed, there are pH probes (i.e combination electrodes) that are used for quantitatively accurate pH readings. They work by creating a closed circuit between the electrolytic reference solution inside the probe (usually silver chloride) and the presence of positively charged hydrogen ions outside the probe (in solution). The reference solution (control) generates a constant electric current (in mV) and when introduced to a foreign solution, will then measure the electrical difference (in mV) between the external current (in solution) and internal current (control) before generating a pH reading for the end user. The difference here between the two methods is that a pH probe can give you a discernable quantitative number to work with, while relying on your subjective senses (eye sight) can only ever give you a qualitative understanding of what's going on, which is oftentimes not good enough data to prove a point.
My family has been drinking from our kangen machine for over a decade and it’s actually really good
Ionized alkaline water is only good for emptying your wallet and destroying your health.
Thank you!!! I trust you....this is like religion. Any businesses that uses MLM should be a red flag. Period
Ya’ll just need to educate yourself on WATER alone before coming and saying things
Everybody needs to know that whenever they hear anything about "micro-clustered" water or the "benefits' of "alkalized/alkaline/electrolyzed" water - it is nonsense, absolute BS. There is no such thing a changing the "structure" of liquid water and our stomach acid instantly neutralized and acidifies any of that 'water' as it's marketed.
Only one thing
People with gastrointestinal problems get well on alkaline water I mean Kangen ionized water
@@alfaandomega1 could it be that they are drinking more water generally now that they have this expensive machine? That alone would help alleviate their gastro problems!!
@@nataliafedor1480 no my wife was already drinking a lot of water and that water made her stomach worse,,,kangen was her remedy!
@@alfaandomega1 people with gastrointestinal problems should just start taking probiotics! It is usually an imbalance of gut baterias that are the roots of many health problems (or at least that is the first thing that should be checked) also mentalhealth problems. The gut is where immunsystem cells are most concentrated. So it is important to have our gut-bateria/ gut-flora in check and good condition
my family has been falling for this and I'm glad there's someone with all the research done to at least save my mom thousands of dollars
The 26 dislikes were definitely from Kangen water people
I bought a kangen machine and I liked this video. Not because I agree with everything in the video but because I am open minded to see all perspectives. I am just driven to find the truth and so I listen to both sides without subscribing to either. I have no prejudice. If you have come across this video I’d say to keep looking. Keep talking to people. Again, this company has been around for a long time. There is a reason, you can’t dispute that. I believe that a lot of the issues are the people, not the product.
@@TradeKingz888 yes you are correct
@@TradeKingz888 the reason they've been around a long time is because some people are gullible and have expendable income. That's all.
@@DanielDeadweight really? That’s all? What’s your story? How were you introduced to Enagic?
Personally, I just found out about this machine after I see a distributor go to a super market looking at what is added to alkaline water. One being the very same I drink when my electrolytes get out of whack. So I researched on my own and had a conversation with this person on Instagram. Honestly, when I presented what I found in my research her only come back was"i can only present what I have personally experienced while drink this water and what others have told me, as if that was convincing enough. Your testimony is your opinion not facts of what you are saying. Look the placebo effect is a strong one and when your mind believes something it is hard to refute it. Look at anti-vaxxers, flat earthers, people who believe in religion. It is very, very hard to change their minds because they have their own research that backs up their claims even though you show them how their research is flawed. Do you boo, I will follow my own research and make a determination on what is beneficial to me.
Great job revealing studies! Another layer of research is who is funding the studies, in many cases that’s very important. For instants there was a study indicating sugar is good for you… Funded by Nestle.
A lot of studies are funded by Pharma, you’re probably fine most studies funded by Pharma have positive results for pharmaceuticals negative results for things like supplements.
So in many cases, who is funding the studies can be more important than any other factor in the study.
I sends shivers down my spine knowing that spiritually is being used as a way of manipulating other spiritual/ open people into buying into this, it’s actually quite narcissistic. But again it’s led but the top leaders so it makes me feel bad for the people being sucking in, potentially struggling but faking it to hopefully then make it. I have been very close to going for this so I am so glad I stumbled across this amazing in depth video. thank you for your effort and research lovey, you are amazing 🙏🏼 It’s been a wonderful reminder to pay more attention to the leaking of the falseness within stories told!
Most people I know that have been sucked into these things, we struggling at that time. They were targeted and love bombed. Wild claims were made that they wanted to be true. I used to support these people out of guilt, but me supporting the, is not making them rich, it is making the top 1% more money. I will support real small businesses, not mlms anymore.
I almost got sucked into this too! It makes me so sad that they are using spirituality to manipulate people like this.
@@oliviavincent3834after using Brita alexapure and like , should I try this?
I met Dr. Kangen personally while visiting Japan. Such a caring and knowledgeable individual.
Nice satire, since there is no physical Dr. Kangen, that is only the company name. Of course, there really is a Mr. "Stay Puffed", I saw him in a movie and he is married to Mrs. Butterworth.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Not sure if you still check the comments for this video, but I just want to show some love! This video was incredibly eye opening for me. I’ve been drinking/ promoting Kangen water for almost 3 years & have been apart of 2 different ‘training platforms’. You presented more thorough research here than I have ever done. You’ve inspired me to question more carefully the sources I place my trust in.
I'm not sure if you'll see my reply to you since this comment is coming so much later, but the fact that you posted your comment nine months ago is actually why I wanted to respond.
After watching this video did you watch Anna's other kangen water/BAM deep dives? Did you check out the other informative videos on UA-cam about kangen water and MLMs in general? Lastly are you still involved in promoting kangen water?
I am really curious actually because I found it cool/surprising/impressive that you decided to do outside research while belonging to a company that actively discourages exactly that and so I'm interested to hear what your long term response has been to the conflicting information. Anyway, hope to hear back from you and that you're doing well
@@dahliacheung6020 hey there! I just got notification of your comment & thanks for this. Yes, I’ve seen her other analysis videos and researched a lot about the structure of MLMs. They are not set up for people to earn money. I actually love Kangen water and have personally benefited a lot from drinking it. But I no longer promote it or affiliate with platforms who promote it. I think the product is good but the business structure is not. When I left my platform I was shamed my “mentors” never asked if I okay or cared to check on me. I feel like a whole different person since leaving and am very open about my experiences in the hopes that others don’t get sucked into a money trap.
How did you get such good critical thinking skills? I went to a college prep highschool and college and the greatest thing I gained was critical thinking skills but I woulda drank this snake oil if it wasn’t for my smart teachers.
In college there is no smart ppl only communist brainwashing professors
Ask an Aerospace engineer they will educate you in quality and ISO since they know the hard work and perfection it takes to get them. The enagic machines aka kangen water are increíble from an Aerospace engineer standpoint since they only use materials approved for medical and aerospace.
This girl is so uneducated in the subject she is jut very silly.
Loved this video, Anna. Thank you for your effort. It is clearly visible how much research you did. You're making great content!
I actually love my kangen water machine. I use the lower pH water to wash my face and my skin has been glowing. I don’t even use much product anymore.
Do you drink the kangen water as well? If so, do you notice any differences from drinking the water?
I like the machine too. It seems to work well for me.
@@patricklittle5286 have you noticed health benefits from drinking the water?
@@evantochydlowski4787 Yes, elsewhere in the comments, I mentioned my problem with lack of sweating. Made me heat-intolerant. But the first summer after getting the machine, I noticed I was sweating once it got up to 70 degrees. So I assume my body somehow absorbs the Kangen water more easily. I also used the 2.5 ph water on my dog's eye that had conjunctivitis, and it was completely healed by the next day.
Definitely good water…Doesn’t leave me feeling bloated and like I want to vomit after drinking large amounts
I remember reading about Dr Ancel Keys who did a study on countries where heart disease was low due to eating a low fat diet. He included Japan in this study. Unfortunately it was later discovered that Japan does have heart disease in spite of their so called low fat eating. Apparently dying of heart disease in Japan is so shameful that it is never put on the death certificate. I don't know for certain if this is true but it highlights how a study can be manipulated to support an individual's hypothesis.
I got a Law of Attraction and MLM ad during this video 😂
LOVE this video! Thank you for all the hard work you put into it. Incredibly researched and well done. I just wanted to throw out a podcast recommendation for people - The Dream. The first season is specifically about MLMs and is incredibly fascinating and there is even an episode that gets into how politics is roped into it, which is something I had no idea about but explains a lot about the world we live. The second season is about the wellness industry and how all of this ties in together. Highly recommended! :)
Wow Anna almost 2 hours long!! The amount of time and effort you have put into this video - honestly we could call it a documentary - it's insane! 👏🏼👏🏼
How about 2 hours of live testing? Lol
To find out what? It's water and does nothing more than what bottled alkaline water can do?
I do not sell the water, and I do not own a machine. However I actually tried the water, therefore it makes me more able to speak on the effects of the water.
At first, I felt like I was sick for a day or two. Also my back started breaking out in pimples. But after this detox phase, I noticed a better night's sleep, and more energy. My wife knows I only drink 2-3 glasses of water per day, but with ionized water I drank 5-7 glasses because my body seemed to crave it.
I also looked into some peer reviewed studies, and clearly there is scientific evidence. Perhaps some people make bogus claims, but the science is there
If the science is there then the company would be promoting it on their website. However, since it is illegal to promote or claim anything about health benefits without scientific evidence and research I am going to say the scientific part you are claiming is bogus.
@@gudemeneelydoes chemo cure cancer? An oncologist told me it would increase my chances of survival by 5%! Therefore, no, chemo does not cure cancer yet it’s still pushed as the gold standard of treatment, despite the fact that many people die from chemo toxicity. It’s a risk YOU take.
In my opinion, the only real scam is modern petrochemical medicine!
Wake up people! 🤦🏻♀️
The science isn't there. "Correlation does not imply causation" + logical fallacy. Please skip to the part about the studies she reviewed. The science is NOT there.
I love drinking my Kangen water, I do not sell this water, but I want to give a good testimonial, because I feel this water enhances my health. My skins looks great from washing my face with this water. Drinking this water makes me feel calmer, and I have a lot more energy. I am a healthy person in my 40's and this is my personal experience. This is fresh water, so naturally this water will be better for you then drinking out of a plastic bottle that have been sitting in a truck for 6 months. I believe investing in this machine has been a good investment in my good health, yes, it is expensive, but getting cancer or another disease will cost you more. Like you say in your video big Pharma is in the business for the sick, that is how they profit, therefore, that is why there is not scientific backing for this water. The fact is that antioxidants are good for you.
You have a lot to learn about this water. The high pH waters made by these machines are not pure as these are not water purifiers.
And the water is a great way to destroy health.
The water is made alkaline by the production of caustic, FREE RADICAL FORMING, mineral (metal) hydroxides. In short, these are dilute versions of dangerous substances such as Drano (potassium hydroxide), lye (sodium hydroxide) and caustic lime (calcium hydroxide). All these products comes with warning labels not to ingest or allow contact with tissues since they are so damaging to tissues.
These mineral (metal) hydroxides are unstable and dissociate forming the dangerous free radical known as the hydroxyl radical, which has been lined to cancer and other diseases.
These hydroxides also neutralize stomach acid, which can lead to numerous health issues. These include cancer for a variety of reasons, heart disease, immune suppression, digestive issues, allergies, some forms of arthritis, hormone and neurotransmitter imbalances, etc.
I don't know how many.people are drinking bottled water sitting in a truck for 6.months. my biggest worry would be why a the manufacturer of such an amazing product isn't supporting the great things this product has done for its users. Oh, I know, because it is illegal to make claims without scientific evidence and research. Many things can attribute to a healthier life style. Drinking more water than before, eating healthier foods, moving more. So many things also, the placebo effect. I guarantee that if you gave people a water filtration system from Amazon and told them all the great benefits it has and convinced them of it they would come back making the same claim you are. The placebo effect is extremely strong. The mind can do amazing thing when it doesn't know the difference.
I've been in Japan for years, all combined. I have NEVER seen or heard of this machine...?
Reminds me of all those "Ikigai" books that are popular in the West. When I asked my Japanese friends, they were all like: "Finding your ikigai? That's for bored pensioners." When I asked them what their ikigai was, they said "work" or "my family". Not some deep goal that touches four elements of fulfilment.
Exactly, I asked my friend fro Japan about these machines and she had no clue what I was talking about.
Furthermore, the Japanese Ministry of Health considers these devices to be a scam as well.
I've been a silent viewer for awhile and I like how you really dig deep into matters. Kagen water was trying to be big on selling their water back in 2010 in CA. I don't know what happened to all their independent distributors but you really don't hear about it anymore. I have a question for you and I don't know if your into YOUNG LIVING. There has been a lot of negative controversy lately. What are your thoughts? Happy day.
I think essential oils are great for aromatherapy... like calming you and therefore helping you sleep and the very other few things they’ve been proven to do, but that’s it. I do have young living EOs because that’s the brand my mom would get and she would give me some but I wouldn’t purchase any on my own in the future due to the fact that theyre an MLM and I will not be supporting MLMs :) hope that answers your question
I still see plenty of Kangen Water distributors in Washington State and Hawaii. They all sell the idea of entrepreneurship and owning a business without actually telling you what they sell unless you pay them.
@@AnnasAnalysis make a 2 hours video talking negative about it too! Keep it fair! Oh wait it might hurt your mom’s business.
I have a friend who sells these and calls herself and entrepreneur. I have been trying to look into it but there was nothing like 1 UA-cam video addressing all the points
so what’s your view on it?
What a blessing, this company & technology gave me the freedom to break free of the golden handcuffs! I retired from Nursing
the job of the company is to sell, maintain, repair if necessary, and logistics. The job of a distributor is to educate the public about the technology and machine use where many distributors are not educated to do. This review shows it.

17:33 This fetishization of Eastern cultures by Western cultures is a bizarre and insidious form of racism. I'd love to see a whole video of how "made in Japan" or "traditional Japanese _____ " is used to help sell various items in the U.S.
Interesting, I’ve never thought of it that way. To me what I’ve seen has always just seemed like people see eastern countries as more “woke” because of certain ideas or concepts that are more common there especially related to health and spirituality and therefore are more trustworthy of ideas and products that are made there, but I had never considered that to be racist. Can you explain more of what you mean?
@@AnnasAnalysis Layla F. Saad discusses cultural appropriation on Day 13 of "Me and White Supremacy." People in the U.S. are perpetuating stereotypes by buying into it, as you described. They fetishize Japanese culture as a pinnacle of health and wellness.
Kim McPhillips especially companies like tatcha :/
Kim McPhillips I see. I guess I don’t understand how it has an insidious nature though. It just seems to me that people who have those beliefs just lack some critical thinking skills...
but also it’s possible that we’ve just seen different people and companies doing these things so I’m maybe just not familiar with those who use it in an insidious way- I haven’t seen the companies that use it to sell products, just individuals so that’s probably why
It's not fetishization. In Hungary we like to buy Japanese products including cars, electronics, etc. Cause they are better quality and will most likely last longer. We prefer them over Chinese, Korean or other countries products.
As a trained biochemist and a husband to a wife, who is thoroughly convinced that Enagic is an opportunity and not a scam, I am beyond thankful for the time you spent and the content you put out. It is so frustrating to present facts, logic, and common sense, only to be countered with weak and invalid counter-arguments that came out of a sales script. I hope that you will find yourself working for a regulating agency like the FTC or the FBI, where you can be more empowered to do greater goods...BTW can you point to me where I can find the part about the $5K/$10K per month residual income that Enagic promises to 6A2-3. I'm sure the fine print tells a different story. In fact, I would appreciate the actual document if you happen to have a copy. Thank you.

@@gudemeneely and yeah it is changing lives. One of my team members in enagic just did 70,000 in commissions this month. You eye rolling now?
@zackbland Yeah, because how can you sell a product that can't back up your claims? Every one of the distributors I have seen claims it does wonderful things for the body. Yet the company that manufactures the product doesn't put one benefit to back up said claim. Do you know why? Because it is illegal to make such claims without scientific evidence and research. I find that a huge red flag. Testimonials are great and all however, I can convince my grandmother that placing a water filter off Amazon would work wonders on her joints she will believe it and begin experiencing less pain and more mobility. Is it the water no, it is the belief that some amazing is happening when it is her own body that is changing how she thinks. It is absolutely no different than how anti-vaxxers or flat-earthers think. The placebo effect is amazing on how it works on the mind. Also blind faith.

Read my other posts on the topic. This water will not stop cancer, but does promote it through a variety of mechanisms including inhibiting methylation and suppressing the immune system.
The best known and proven cure for cancers is actually ozone therapy, which selectively kills cancer cells, boosts anrticancer cytokines and superoxide dismutase, destroys cancer pathogens and many carcinogens and boosts the immune system. There are all sorts of studies on this that can be found on PubMed.
How are u doing? How do u feel? What did you feel after trying the water for weeks?
hey man, any was wondering if you made it? if yes, did it help? cheers

This whole thing of this water is sketchy and is like a pyramid scheme
Kangen water influencers are emerging in france. Lemme know if you wanna work on some french subtitles, this video is public interest

I was roped into this exact scam. $17,000 financed at 12%. They all hide behind rented lambos and fake content. Absolute scam and should be taken off the market.
I never thought I would buy a bottle of water until I got it,I thought people that buy bottle of water were nuts but now I'm shopping for better water filter after Brita,alexapure, and more..
As a chemist, this whole alkaline water thing is so stupid
But but but...yea I agree lol. I hate mlms targeting those people who need help and protection
Edit: also isn’t the main ph control of your blood the ratio of o2 and co2. Hence why if you hold your breath your body panics and tries to get you to breath. But if you breath another gas (helium) you can suffocate easily
Yes, Just alkaline water is not exactly the same and is riding on the lack of education of folks that don't understand this process..! electrolysis is a bit diff than the 9.0+ pH type waters at the grocery store....
it will be stupid if you don't do your homework in researching or someone who introduced you to Kangen water is an uneducated person.
Ill debate any of u uneducated people the reason you guys dont understand is because tbe machine is not a chemical change its an electrical change
@@justinstrickland736 electrical change still would induce a chemical change because energy likes to go to its lowest state. This is even how batteries and electricity work.

Get out of here thats not real, yes the distance between the water molecules can change, but only to a really small degree and that's due to temperature. I'm finishing my bachelors of science in chemistry, and everything youve researched checks out and is easy to understand from my perspective. Love the video, hate people using fake science to scam people.
Do you test it,with the required tools?
Have you done the test of the "three sieves" of Socrates.
1 Do you have this machine and have you been using it for at least a year?
2 If you don't have it then you are talking about what you don't know.
3 If you are talking about what you don't know then why should I listen to you?
Rubbish video with no sensible info.
Excellent vid, thank you! The whole idea of altering your entire body's ph by drinking water is odd, and shows a lack of understanding of a lot of subjects. In general, if it sounds too good to be true, it is.
I'm looking forward to the next vid!!!
What is more antioxidant than kangen water? Answer me concretely with arguments! I measured the water I drink has -824 mv
The minerals in the water make the ph to be 9.5, I took the water to the laboratory and they told me that the water is very healthy for consumption. I have been drinking 4 liters on average every day for 7 years and my health is perfect! Such a product can only be sold through direct sales, but not many understand this.
hey! this video was wack wasn't it?? hahaha... no concrete arguments and there never will be bc if they actually did the research they would KNOW!
@@thinkforyourself6260 sure the video is very strange. How can you talk about kangen water without having an enagic ionizer next to you, without concretely showing the real characteristics of the water, without personally testing the water to see the values, without personally taking the water to water analysis laboratories. By the way, I took the water to several laboratories and a lady there, when she saw the results, told me that such water can only be found in the Himalayan glaciers. I challenge her to call someone with an ionizer and show concretely the characteristics and values of the water!
I agree try the water and then tell us. What's the difference in that case. From my understanding the body should be acidic from mouth to vagina and alkaline in muscles , btw the suggestion to take anti acids for acidic gut instead is wholly flawed , the stomach will produce even more acid to correct it self. So many inflammatory diseases nowadays I think it would be worth trying but that's where we get a choice
The same way all those "studies" that were quoted never had one either. NOT ONE OF THE STUDIES YOU QUACKS LIKE TO QUOTE was done with your machines. Skip to the part about the studies and you'll see why this video is far from wack and you're making you look silly.
There is not one legitimate scientific study that you can quote that is about the machine in itself and the one video that did do research using one of the machines showed it was not the best one to buy.
"if it sounds too good to be true... it probably is"
Starting to think that MLM is for lazy peeps who are great at selling a dream to hard workers, ugh…sooooooo gross and disgusting.
resume of this video: it is a scam. don't buy it.
I personally know of two friends who were suffering from weeping eczema and another from aches and pains due to inflammation for more than 10 years. They had tried everything that medicine had to offer but there was no cure other than temporary relief. After purchasing the kangen machine both have fully recovered. I was planning to buy one but now after seeing this video I am having second thoughts.
After you saw your friends life’s improve? They are people who you know and won’t lie to you. All of the sudden this video from a stranger makes you doubt? 😂😂
Number 1 red flag and in my opinion the only one that counts.
Why can't a company that makes the machines back up the claims distributors make? Hmm. Oh, that right, because it's illegal to make claims on what the machine can do without scientific research and evidence. Someone giving a testimony as to I did everything I could to get rid of xyz and I bought this and with ABC months it went away....that is supposed to convince me? Did you change detergent, soap, did the dr. prescribe new medication during that time. Was the only thing you did differently was drink water? Did you drink more water than normal, did you try drinking other water during this time? These are questions I would as my friends if they are making this claim.
I had never heard of this water before. This video was full of knowledge, like all the deep dives :)
Love from India.
PS: congratulations on 200k💙
Yeah probably you won’t heard as it is the new technology, this water will come to every houses , don’t wry ....
Thanks so much for this!! What frustrates me is that some of the ideas and beliefs of these people are quite radical in a good way (imo) e.g. challenging the status quo, challenging the idea that you have to get a 9-5 to succeed, questioning pharmaceutical companies and the elite generally etc. And you just know that those who are challenged by MLMers can say 'oh look how stupid it is that these people challenge us, they're so stupid and ignorant', and consequently tarnish the reputation of any person or group who wants to challenge the establishment. It's like how as soon as you criticise 21st century capitalism people jump to call you a communist or a Marxist because anyone who is left wing or wants society to go in a more socialist direction is automatically a total idiot communist, and therefore nothing they say has any validity. Frustrating that that's how it is, but sadly we are yet to live in a world in which critical thinking, openmindedness or asking questions is genuinely encouraged or accepted, although I think it's improving :)
People don't say that stuff until 1 of 2 things: 1) There is a BS Product + Claims involved 2) The business structure is that of a "pyramid" relying on recruitment.
Of course they put forth some good ideas/beliefs , that is how they rope people in.
I think it’s great to challenge the status quo! People are upset because less than 1% of people in MLMs make a liveable wage. You can look at all their financial disclosure reports. I know many that have done this, they work much harder than I ever will, only to make next to nothing. They sell tons of stuff, yet since there is no recruiting being done, they barely get compensated. Big pharma should be questioned, but at the same time, don’t tell me supplements will cure cancer or make me fertile. Mlmers make wild unsubstantiated claims to prey on people.
@@Ettrix On a pyramid you cant earn more than the person who introduced you in the company,in Enagic you dont have bosses like in any other company,if you are introduced by a person in Enagic and you start selling products,and you sell more than the person who introduced you in Enagic,and you can make more money than him

So.....Do you have a Kangen machine or ?
Dude the woman who said she drank a gallon of water a day and felt dehydrated was probably OVERHYDRATED
I was once so dehydrated I passed out, so I know how that feels, but recently I was drinking a lot of water and felt like I did the time I fainted from dehydration. So obviously I was like wtf and I started researching and realized that drinking too much water can actually make you feel almost identically to dehydration, especially because it messes with your sodium levels. Like literally I ate popcorn and the salt made me feel normal again immediately. I didn’t need to spend thousands of dollars I just ate some cheap popcorn. Drinking enough water is important, but sadly a lot of people don’t realize you can go too far the other way. It’s easy to think “it’s just water how can it hurt to have more”, but in reality our bodies function on a specific balance. And of course this company is benefiting from that misinformation as well as other ignorance bc they care more about money than actually helping :(
I really liked the concept with the Live Chat for this particular video. Because it was a opportunity to see how kangen people deal and react, not making any valid scientific points about the product in live! Thanks again for your huge effort.
yeah it was a pleasant surprise for me. I didn't expect them to come on and chat...

Lol. Tap water where I live is anywhere from 8-11 pH due to lots of limestone. Guess I can save 3 grand.
First buy a kangen device and drink water after that do videos on kangen device.if you want to purchase a device join in my team.
I cant believe that a 2 hour hate video was made about Kangen Water. Lol
Very glad before I spent 5k 😆😭😭 jk I wasn’t gonna buy it but very thankful for her making this video. Saw this a few times and was curious to actually buy one sometime soon.
Holy shit, this video needs way more than 35k views. Researching it must've been brutal.
SO heres what I'm thinking...the brain is SO so powerful, and with the power of suggestion or the placebo effect etc etc, some of these people who drink Kangen water may be healing themselves. Theres a great book out there that talks about how to 'heal yourself' called The Brains Way of Healing. It is SO SO interesting, give it a read if you're interested :)
edit: i posted this around the 28min mark so idk if u said something to this degree later on in the video. Will be watching the full thing tho don't worry
edit: AH yes at 33mins u do talk about the placebo effect haha good!
Really informative video, just a tip for the future, if you ever need access to a scientific journal/article just paste the DOI code onto sci-hub (its basically a shadow library that bypasses paywalls). helps me out as a grad student so i dont have to hound my PI for full articles! and your so right about comparative studies lacking in this field...what works on a mouse is not guaranteed to work on a human...scientists work hard to flesh out biological processes down to the last detail so they wont have to say “oh its just a mice thing i guess” lol
Never use snopes. Your credibility just dropped drastically.
I literally know people who are in actual debt to Kangen for buying a single machine
Holy Ffff!! two hours this intense!?! Gurl... you... are... a legend
Hiromi Shinya (inventor of the colonoscope) is on the board of Enagic. It's confusing because he has a lot of great data on the positive effects of his diet, I want to see more studies that can explain why so many of Shinyas patients have such obvious positive effects.
Enagic is clearly a scam, I absolutely believe that.
@@brandonhinojosa4202 you have no beliefs of your own.
Absolutely great video! Kangen fever has found it’s way to Finland - was looking for some info and found 2 hours of it, haha. Great work, thank you
Really? Where have you seen this? I myself have never heard of this before (I live in Uusimaa). And to call it a "fever" would indicate that it's widespread, or? I am very curious if you could link to some sources :)
😂😂😂 so if a random girl makes a video taking crap about you for 2 hours I should believe it? 😂😂😂
@@EvelynDragone damn you made 14 comments on this video already, get a life and go sell your kangen water to someone else 🤣
I mean I would watch a 2 hour video of a person who did research on me. Just to see what they find. I would find it very interesting.
Ok!!
She never even tried the water herself lok😂💦
That’s all her opinion. Just know UA-camrs make good money advertising things that interest people by the amount of viewers you generate
I have Been drinking kangen water now daily every since 2017 and luv it👍🏽👍🏽
Bottled water is so unhealthy by far because it’s chemically treated and sits in plastic bottles and nothing but a billion dollar industry
Ate you a doctor? What’s your credentials ?Before u make these negative comments, u should have tested kangen water for at least 1 year. Girl u don’t know what are u taking about I don’t think u ever tired kangen water consistently. The only way to experience kangen water health benefits is drinking it consistently everyday in order to get results. did u know that many Top doctors are endorsing kangen water?
Great info. The question i guess is has she tried the water? I am a distributor and have been drinking the water for 10 years and I have seen it help a lot of people for sure.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
@@DanielDeadweight what’s so funny?
Lol….I just re read your post…you’ve seen it help a lot of people “for sure”…and you have been drinking it for 10 years…so, what has it done for you? 🤨🧐…or is that not important to share? You sound like a scammer for real…now I see why Daniel H. is cracking up…you sound foolish.
Yes, the placebo effect is very high in this one. He mind is so wrapped around the product that nothing else gets through, bravo. (Dramatic eyeroll)
Interesting that the leader of the 'breakaway movement' is promoting how she made millions off a company that also participates in shrimp farming. She's an outspoken vegan and therefore supposedly against all forms of animal exploitation. Hmmmmm.
I agree to an extent but also it’s possible most of these bam people don’t know about that. I’m not sure how much they pay attention to enagic news but I couldn’t find any info on any of enagics side hustles on their English website- I had to just click random things in Japanese on their Japanese website hahah
Very good point Jessica Preston!
Japanese people being generally more healthy in terms of longevity has everything to do with their universal health care system and its heavy focus on preventative medicine. Interesting how no one in the US tends to mention that part.
Or that they have a very balanced diet, with food that isnt heavily preserved or processed.
Or that they had this technology for over 47 years called Enagic’s Kangen Water 💦 and the Japanese FDA approved it to be used in hospitals and schools
@@DanielDeadweight they have heavily preserved or processed foods. But Japanese governments release rules, they will tax the company that worked any overweight / obese employees. That's why people there have to limit their diet, to be able to get jobs.
Because the Japanese still get sick like everyone else including getting cancer.
The biggest red flag is when the company that manufacturers the product won't promote the benefits on their website. The reason for that is because it is illegal to do so without scientific evidence and research to back it up.
Your sources are limited. The enagic brand is from Okinawa where the longest living humans are still living.
Why don’t you interview the medical doctors who are using the ionizers. The machines are lined with SILVER and is not overpriced for the functions of each machine has.
My understanding is that "kangen" water is authentic. It's basically all about water stagnation. In nature, good drinking water is distilled by rain, mineralized by running across the Earth's surface, filtered by porous rock, and carries an electromagnetic charge from the Earth's surface. The relationship between conductive mineral water, electricity, and magnets (gravity, lightning) is important to molecularity destagnate water.
Kangen water does this by passing purified mineral water across electromagnified platinum plates.
Because platinum plating is required, because it is an electrical device handling water regularly, the manufacturing costs of these machines is very high. Not only that but they require an ro system with a mineral cartridge system and require regular maintenance. The whole system is simply expensive.
Because of this Enagic has opted for a personal sales distribution approach and it all seems kind of pyramid schemey. There's a lot of pseudoscientific marketing spread by independent retailers.
However, behind the confusion, the devices work and are authentic.
Yea, it magically turns tap water impurities into minerals via one small carbon filter and electrification, sounds very authentic..
@@pashinlesh2069 No the machine requires a full RO system with mineral cartridges to function properly.
@@Nyder in that case all you would need is 10-20 dollars worth of off the shelf items to turn your RO water into hydrogen water, why pay 5K for this machine? A simple power supply, couple of electrodes with a large surface area, and some salt/baking soda.. Its a scam bro!
@@pashinlesh2069 Because it's an electronic device hooked up to a power outlet that has water running through it. It requires platinum plating and the highest manufacturing standards. That's why they're so expensive.
Furthermore, the electromagnetic effects on mineral water, which is conductive, is proven.
