The Water Problem in the Permian Basin
The Hidden Dangers in Permian Basin Water: Health Risks and Long-Term Impact
Water in the Permian Basin is contaminated with arsenic, nitrates, heavy metals, fluoride, total dissolved solids (TDS), and radioactive materials like radium. Oilfield runoff and agricultural waste also threaten water quality. Municipal water may contain chlorine byproducts, while private wells face risks of bacteria, hydrogen sulfide, and salinity — all worsening due to aging infrastructure and environmental strain.
Exposure to these contaminants can cause cancer, kidney and liver damage, thyroid disorders, skeletal fluorosis, reproductive issues, gastrointestinal illness, and developmental problems in infants. Disinfection byproducts increase cancer risk, while high nitrates cause “blue baby syndrome” and respiratory issues.
Without intervention, the region faces rising rates of chronic illness, cancers, kidney failure, bone diseases, and developmental disorders. Community health will decline, impacting productivity, increasing healthcare burdens, and reducing overall quality of life — creating a public health crisis over time.
Living, Structured, Hydrogen-Rich Water
Resolving Contamination and Restoring Health
The best resolution to the Permian Basin’s water concerns is upgrading your existing Reverse Osmosis system with a Kangen K8 machine, producing Electrolyzed Reduced Water (ERW)—a total game-changer for your health.
So, what exactly is ERW, and why does it matter? ERW is living, structured, hydrogen-rich water created through advanced electrolysis technology, developed in Japan over 50 years ago. The Kangen K8, through ionization, transforms the water into highly alkaline, antioxidant-rich hydration loaded with diatomic molecular hydrogen.
This structured water offers multiple health benefits, including:
✅ Neutralizing harmful free radicals with powerful antioxidants
✅ Reducing oxidative stress, a major cause of chronic disease and inflammation
✅ Supporting proper pH balance in the body, helping combat acidity linked to fatigue, weight gain, and poor immunity
✅ Hydrating cells more efficiently due to its smaller water clusters
✅ Promoting detoxification by helping the body flush out accumulated toxins and heavy metals
Long term, drinking ERW helps protect against chronic health issues tied to contaminated water—like cancer, kidney problems, and inflammatory diseases—while supporting vitality, energy, and cellular health. You’re not just filtering water; you’re transforming it into a powerful tool for healing, longevity, and peak performance—right in your own kitchen.
Discover the Power of Electrolyzed Reduced Water (ERW) – The Ultimate Antioxidant Hydration!
Did you know you can transform ordinary tap water into something extraordinary? Electrolyzed Reduced Water (ERW), also known as hydrogen water, undergoes a cutting-edge process that elevates its benefits far beyond regular drinking water.
Here’s how it works: ERW starts as tap water, which is first filtered to remove chlorine and other impurities. Then, through electrolysis, the water is split into hydrogen and oxygen, creating diatomic molecular hydrogen (H₂)—one of the most powerful antioxidants known! By donating electrons, this molecular hydrogen helps combat oxidative stress, meaning that every sip of ERW delivers antioxidant-rich hydration to your body.
Why does this matter? Oxidative damage is linked to major modern-day diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Free radicals—highly reactive molecules—can harm cells, but antioxidants neutralize them, helping to protect and rejuvenate the body. Studies from Japan even suggest that ERW may reduce cell damage and offer neuroprotective benefits.
But ERW isn’t just for drinking—it’s a game-changer for cooking, beauty, and even cleaning! With its ability to support overall wellness, this revolutionary water is making waves in health and longevity. Ready to experience the benefits for yourself?
Tap Water
While tap water may seem like a healthier choice compared to sugary soft drinks, what’s lurking in your glass might shock you. According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), 278 pollutants have been detected in America’s tap water since 2004. What’s even more concerning? Over half of these contaminants are completely unregulated, meaning they can legally exist in your drinking water at any concentration.
But legal doesn’t always mean safe. Many of these pollutants include heavy metals (like lead and arsenic), pesticides, pharmaceutical residues, and industrial chemicals—all of which have been linked to serious health risks, including cancer, hormonal imbalances, and neurological damage. Chlorine, commonly used to disinfect tap water, can react with organic matter, forming harmful byproducts like trihalomethanes (THMs), which have been associated with increased cancer risk.
And while municipal water treatment facilities follow federal guidelines, these standards haven’t been significantly updated in decades, leaving many to question: Is tap water truly safe to drink? With the growing awareness of contamination risks, it’s no surprise that more and more people are turning to Kangen Water®—a cleaner, healthier alternative designed to provide pure, hydrogen-rich, and antioxidant-packed hydration.
When it comes to your health, why take the risk?
Bottled Water
Bottled water is often marketed as a healthier choice, but the reality is far more concerning. It is not necessarily safer or healthier than tap water—in fact, studies show otherwise. A 4-year investigation by the Natural Resources Defense Council found that one-third of bottled water tested contained contamination levels exceeding allowable limits, exposing consumers to potential health risks.
Many bottled waters are nothing more than filtered tap water with synthetic minerals added for taste. Worse, they can be slightly acidic, potentially impacting your body’s pH balance over time.
Beyond the health risks, the environmental damage is staggering. The production and disposal of single-use plastic bottles generate massive pollution, contributing to overflowing landfills, ocean contamination, and widespread harm to ecosystems. Despite its high cost, bottled water offers no proven health benefit—only higher risks and devastating environmental consequences.
Reverse Osmosis Water
Reverse osmosis is often promoted as a superior filtration method, especially in areas without municipal water treatment and in bottled water production. However, this process comes with serious drawbacks that are often overlooked. Reverse osmosis doesn’t just remove contaminants — it also strips away essential, naturally occurring minerals that your body needs for proper function. These minerals are crucial not only for taste but for supporting vital bodily systems like bone health, muscle function, and hydration at the cellular level.
Once these minerals are removed, the water can actually become unhealthy and demineralized, potentially leaching minerals from the body over time. Attempts to solve this by adding synthetic minerals back into the water have proven problematic. Synthetic additives don’t replicate the benefits of naturally occurring minerals and may introduce their own health risks. Instead of improving water quality, reverse osmosis may create water that’s biologically imbalanced and potentially harmful in the long term.
