Question: Is there a positive milli-volt, or ping reading, that water becomes electron-hungry, taking electrons from our body, causing oxidation. In other words, is there a plus 100 milli-volt, plus 200, plus 300, plus 500, where water becomes harmful to the cells of the body?
Dr. Young: Any water that carries a positive milli-volt or ping reading is enervating to the body. The energy of the water, or the “oxidative reduction potential” or “ORP” water is a very important measurement. Oxidation refers to the acidic effect of the liquid being tested and reduction refers to its alkaline effect. When I measure the energy or “ORP” of a liquid, it is measured in milli-volts. Those milli-volts can be positive or negatively charged. The protons or electrons or the positive or negatively charged elements of the liquid or water being measured will make either energy withdrawals if positively charged or energy contributions if negatively charged.
