Myles Saputo, Discover Living, Super-Hydrating, Anti-Oxidant, Energy-Rich Water! Myles has passionately and pro-actively sought natural means to health and healing since he was fourteen.  As a baby of 1 1/2 years he received Cobalt Radiation “treatment” to dry moisture and congestion in his lungs, which could have been remedied by simply eliminating cow milk and grains from his diet.  This harsh “treatment” turned into lifelong health challenges that led Myles to seek out natural, safe and effective wellness technologies.  An important realization is that the body is a God Given Miracle and Designed to be in Good Health.  So if it’s not, then what is it missing?  Or, what does it need to get rid of?  Myles share how to create an environment in our body temple where health and vitality exist and disease does not thrive.  Knowing that our body is composed of 70% water and understanding the pH of our body’s cellular fluids and blood are meant to be slightly alkaline is a key factor in making life choices for health.  Myles will share the importance of energetically alive, purified, and Ionized alkaline water for health and healing.  Drinking charged, living purified water is a core necessity and compliment to a raw lifestyle and greater health.  Oxidation and inflammation are two main causes of disease today, and the water you drink can help combat this.  Come hear why negatively charged, electron-rich water from Ionways is the best way to fight free-radical damage in the body.  This water acts like an antioxidant, donating electrons to the free-radicals, instead of allowing them to pull electrons from your cells.  Ionways offers the best purification systems—eliminating 99.9% of all major contaminants, including viruses, bacteria, chemicals and harmful minerals such as fluoride.
