Nils Behrens: This is how healthy structured water is

Nils Behrens is a leading expert in the fields of holistic medicine and prevention and host of the podcast "Healthwise". His current column for Premium Medical Circle revolves around groundbreaking water research that could revolutionize our world of health.

Water is not just essential for life – it may hold the greatest secret to our health. Dr. Gerald Pollack has revolutionized our understanding of the essence of water with his groundbreaking research on “structured water.” water His discoveries could change our understanding of health and well-being forever.


What is structured water?

It sounds like a science fiction theory, but Dr. Gerald Pollack's discoveries could revolutionize our understanding of water and health. While we view water as a simple liquid consisting only of H2O, Pollack shows that water actually has a deeper, structural dimension.

He speaks of a so-called “fourth phase of water” that goes beyond the known liquid, solid, and gas states. This phase is referred to as “structured water” and could play a key role in cell health and biological processes.

According to Pollack, this water is able to store energy and regenerate our cells – a discovery that has the potential to fundamentally change medicine and wellness.


The importance of structured water for our health

Structured water could help us hydrate better while optimizing the energy balance of our cells. In a world where many people struggle with chronic fatigue and energy loss, this approach could open a new dimension of therapy.



Pollack's research has shown that structured water has a special form that can penetrate cell membranes more easily. This means more efficient water supply for our cells, which could directly affect our health.

More energy, better regeneration, and a general improvement in well-being could be the first signs that this water is more than just a liquid we drink.

Pollack's research demonstrates that structured water passes through cell membranes more easily.

Structured Water: A Natural Remedy?

In addition to physical hydration, structured water could also have healing properties. There is evidence that this special form of water can even reduce inflammation and accelerate the healing of injuries. Pollack himself describes water as a "living substance" that can do far more than just quench our thirst.

Combine this discovery with the fact that water has a significant impact on the chemical reactions in our cells, it quickly becomes clear that it plays a crucial role in maintaining our health. It could even help to prevent or cure diseases if we use it properly.


Toxins: What You Should Avoid

Apart from the positive aspects of water, there are also numerous toxins that can significantly harm our health. One of the biggest attackers on our body is Bisphenol-A (BPA). This chemical is often used in plastics and is suspected of affecting fetal development, especially the maturation of the ovaries.

So if you want to protect your health and that of your children, you should definitely pay attention to your choice of drinking bottle. Glass or stainless steel are the best alternatives to plastic bottles, even if they are BPA-free. Because many "BPA-free" bottles still contain plasticizers, which can have similarly harmful effects.



Pesticides: An underestimated risk

Pesticides are another risk that is ubiquitous in our diet. They were originally developed to keep pests away, but many of these substances are suspected of causing serious health problems - from hormone disorders to cancer.

A good guide to minimizing pesticide exposure is the Environmental Working Group (EWG) "Dirty Dozen" and "Clean 15" list. The "Dirty Dozen" includes fruits and vegetables that are particularly heavily contaminated with pesticides, including strawberries, apples, and celery.

In contrast, the "Clean 15" are products that are treated with minimal pesticides, such as avocados, corn, and peas.


The “Dirty Dozen”

  1. Strawberries
  2. Apples
  3. Nectarines
  4. Peaches
  5. Celery
  6. Grapes (white/red)
  7. Cherries
  8. Spinach
  9. Tomatoes
  10. Bell peppers
  11. Cherry tomatoes
  12. Cucumbers


The “Clean 15”

  1. Avocados
  2. Corn
  3. Pineapples
  4. Cabbages
  5. Peas
  6. onions
  7. asparagus
  8. mango
  9. papayas
  10. kiwis
  11. eggplants
  12. grapefruit
  13. honeydew melons
  14. Cauliflower
  15. Sweet potatoes

Heavy Metals: An Invisible Enemy

Another issue that is often overlooked is the accumulation of heavy metals in our oceans. Larger fish, such as tuna or swordfish, absorb these heavy metals and store them in their bodies.

For us humans, this means that consuming these fish can be associated with an increased risk of health issues like nerve disorders and hormonal disruptions.

Especially for people who rely on Fish as a source of Omega-3, it is important to turn to alternatives. Algal oil, rich in EPA and DHA, offers an excellent way to safely meet Omega-3 needs.


How can I make structured water myself?

Structured water is not yet available everywhere, but there are now some providers who specifically focus on this form of water. Many offer so-called "water vitalization devices" or filters with which you can structure the water in your household.

These devices work by using special technologies (such as magnetic fields or vortex techniques) to bring the water into a structured state that comes closer to the natural properties of water. Another way to obtain structured water is to buy bottled water that is already in this form. Here you should pay attention to quality and origin, as not all products deliver the desired effect.



Conclusion: The Key to the Health Revolution

What can we learn from this groundbreaking research on water and the influence of toxins on our bodies? It's not just about choosing the right foods or drinking enough water – it's about supporting our entire system in a way that regenerates and heals our cells at the deepest level.

Dr. Gerald Pollack's discoveries about structured water could make an important contribution to improving people's health and well-being.

But avoiding toxins such as BPA, pesticides, and heavy metals also plays a central role. A balanced diet combined with the right hydration could be the key to a healthier life.

It's time for us to rethink our understanding of water, nutrition, and healthcare and to adopt a new, informed paradigm – for a longer, healthier life.
