Abstract: The subject invention provides a process and apparatus for making “enhanced water” that is uniquely suitable for improving circulation, hydration and insulin usage with diabetics. Thus, in a preferred embodiment, the invention provides methods for the treatment and/or prevention of diabetes as well as the prevention or delay in development of diabetes-related complications, conditions or diseases.

Abstract: A fluid purifier includes a filter having a chamber of reduced cross section formed either between an inner wall and an outer wall or within the inner wall. A ceramic layer of granular ceramic particles and at least a pair of magnetic layers each comprising an annular magnet and magnetite pieces are provided above or below the ceramic layer in the chamber. The annular magnets are arranged in such a way that the same polarities of adjacent annular magnets are facing each other, and the direction of the magnetic lines of force is parallel to the direction of flow of the fluid. Fluid molecules are activated while passing through the magnetic field produced by the magnetic layers of annular magnets and magnetite pieces which are magnetized by the annular magnets. In other embodiments the magnets may be differently and irregularly shaped magnet pieces, magnetite pieces may also be present and the magnet pieces and/or the magnetite pieces may be coated with the ceramic.

Abstract: The subject invention pertains to devices and methods for treating potable liquids. In particular, the subject invention concerns portable devices for use in the removal of contaminants, i.e. chlorine, chloramines, metals, undesirable flavors or odors, from potable liquids. According to the subject invention, portable devices for use in treating potable liquids include a media retaining means, a manipulating means, and purifying media.

Abstract: A preparation for removing dyestuff in dyeing waste water includes a carbonized carbonaceous material and powdery or granular bakuhanseki deposited on the surface of the carbonized carbonaceous material. In one aspect of the invention, a preparation for removing dyestuff in dyeing waste water includes a carbonized carbonaceous material and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of silicic acid anhydride, aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, potassium oxide, sodium oxide, calcium oxide, ferrous oxide, ferric oxide, titanium oxide, phosphorous pentaoxide and manganese oxide, said compound being deposited on the surface of the carbonized carbonaceous material. There is also provided a method for removing dyestuff in dyeing waste water by adding these dyestuff removing preparations.

Abstract: A shower device having a water purifying function includes a cartridge type filter formed with a water inlet at one end and a water outlet at the other end and means for showering such as a shower head connected to the water outlet of the cartridge type filter. The cartridge type filter contains a tannin layer consisting of a material comprising tannin, a bakuhanseki layer consisting of granular bakuhanseki formed in a layer, a ceramic layer consisting of granular ceramic formed in a layer, a magnetite layer consisting of broken pieces of magnetite formed in a layer and provided at least on the water inlet side or on the water outlet side of the ceramic layer, and magnetizing means such as magnets for magnetizing the magnetite layer.

Abstract: A water purifier includes a filter having a cylindrical housing formed with a water inlet at one end and a water outlet at the other end and contains in the housing a ceramic layer consisting of granular ceramic heaped up in a layer, a magnetite layer consisting of broken pieces of magnetite heaped up in a layer and provided at least above or below the ceramic layer, and annular magnets provided above and below the ceramic layer in such a manner that these annular magnets coincide with each other in the sense of magnetic lines of force and that the direction of the magnetic lines of force is parallel to the direction of flow of water. Water molecules are activated while passing through the magnetic field produced by the annular magnets and the magnetite layers which are magnetized by the annular magnets.
