Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
So, Paul, before we get into your story, does the
water taken effect really quickly? Just I want to get
back to the story though.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Yes, some things are really quick, within minutes, other things
are months. It just depends on the issue. Typically people
feel increased energy pretty quickly clarity in their mind. That
would be like three to five minutes. The energy would
be quick. If people have joint pain and arthritis and
(00:32):
things of this nature, they're going to feel that within
the first hour. Typically people say they sleep better the
first night after they start drinking. Their dreams might be different,
their sleep patterns are different, and so there's a number
of things. A lot of people talk about their digestion.
If they had issue, you know, with acid reflux or
(00:57):
what have you, then they don't have that anymore. So, yes,
there are some that are very quick, and other things
can take longer if they are very serious issues.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
But yeah, okay, well we'll talk more about that. Let's
get back to the story first of help. Yeah, yeah,
so we wrapped it up. You were like, I.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Didn't know what to do, right, I didn't. And so
here we are on this cruise. And mind you, the
first day of the cruise was a Sunday, and it
was the first day of my wife's menstrual cycle. So
we're driving down from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale. She's doubled
over in pain in the back seat, and we're coming
down for this cruise. We didn't choose the dates, obviously,
(01:36):
and we're going for a nine day cruise. And we
get on the ship and she goes straight to the cabin,
straight to bed, and I'm going to art auctions. I'm
coming back. I'm you know, doing whatever and coming back.
And so she gets thirsty and she drinks the water.
I drank the water too. I didn't sprout wings, I
didn't fly right this this water that they brought us.
(01:58):
She drank the water, and she said to me, honey,
I feel something like I don't even know what it is,
but my body's like craving this water. I can't stop drinking.
I said, well, okay, go ahead and drink that water.
I won't drink it. I'll drink, you know, the water
on the ship like every other cruise we have taken.
But you drink that water that our friends brought. And
(02:22):
within a day and a half. She was up and
around and enjoying the cruise. And I freaked out because
normally she would have been down for seven days and
within a day and a half, and I'm like, what
the heck. So now I'm asking my friends. We're sitting
at breakfast and we're all there, all four of us,
and I said, uh, Jacqueline's feeling better. Normally, this would
(02:44):
not happen in a day and a half. It would
take seven days. What the Heck's up with the water.
And they're like, Paul, that's what I'm trying to tell you.
All these people, excuse me, are having these issues. These
things happen to them. We don't, and we don't understand why.
You know, you're the medical guy. What's happening? And I'm like,
(03:05):
I have no idea what's happening. Don't ask me that
you brought the water? Right. So, long story short, she's
doing great. We're on this cruise, we go to Costa Rica,
we go to Panama, we got I mean, it was
a wonderful time, and we get back home. I don't
think anything of it. I'm being honest, I'm a guy.
(03:25):
I don't think anything of it. We're carrying on with
our life. I have eight companies at the time. I mean,
I'm busy guy. And off we go to life again.
And next thing, you know, like within a few months.
We normally had a family counsel to talk about when
her cycle was going to happen that month, to make
(03:45):
sure our calendars were appropriate. So I would be home
and we were like, okay, so when's your cycle and
she's like, no, no, I'm on it like and we're
like what, And all of a sudden, she's like, oh
my gosh, wait a minute. So it had been six
months her menstrual cycle was normal, and I said what happened?
(04:09):
And she goes, I've been drinking that water. I'm like,
wait a minute, you've been drinking the water and she goes, yeah,
didn't you notice there's always a gallon sitting in the
pantry And I'm like, no, I didn't. You're a guy,
aren't you. Yeah, you're guy. I said, no, I didn't
notice that. But I said, oh my gosh, this is amazing.
(04:29):
So now I tell my friend like, wait a minute, guys,
my wife's doing great. And they're like, yeah, you should
talk to the guy who owns the company, and so
here I am. There's this you know, older gentleman. He
was probably seventy at the time, and he is standing
in front of a room of about seventy people, and
(04:51):
he's practically bouncing on the ground talking about all the
miracle things that this water was doing and everything and
turning it was turning me off. But I waited. I
didn't say a word. I didn't I didn't poke holes
in his thing. And after everybody left, my friend goes, hey,
this is this is Paul, and he's like, oh my gosh,
I've been waiting to meet you. We'd love to have
(05:11):
you involved. I'm like, well, hold your horses. I'm not
getting involved with anything, you know, I'm not getting involved.
I'm just I just have a couple of questions. And
I asked him some questions about wound healing, because he
was up there talking about wound healing. And I said,
you know, if you're talking about wound healing, what's feeding
the fiberblasts with this water. If you're saying it's healing wounds,
(05:32):
you know? And he goes, I have no idea. I
don't know how anything I talked about tonight happens. I
have no idea, and I said, shame on you from
sharing these things. If you don't know the mechanisms and
you haven't figured it out, shame on you for talking
about it and not saying to people I have no
idea how this works. So I decided that I was
(05:55):
going to do research on my own because I needed
to figure out what the heck was going on, because
this was way to life changing for us for me
not to want to understand.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
So he was saying, I don't understand. However, it's working.
We're getting results.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Correct, And he was up there making what I would
call claims right medical claims like about diseases, about diseases,
which is completely inappropriate to do if you don't know
the mechanism, or you can't explain it, or you haven't
even attempted right. He was he was the owner of
the company, but he was just wanting to sell machines,
sell these machines to people. So anyways, long story short,
(06:38):
I do a deep dive, I do some research. I'm like, okay,
what is this alkaline water? I don't agree that the
pH of the water, because they're saying the pH of
the water was what was causing all the benefits. I
didn't agree at all. That's not even possible. That's completely
in opposition to everything we understand with science and medicine,
(06:59):
and no way that water with a higher pH is
going to change cancer or diabetes or park you know,
any of these kind of things. And I was just like,
no way is that going to happen. But I want
to find out what is because clearly these people are
having benefits because they were selling two hundred one gallon
bottles a day that people were coming to their office
and filling up water, standing in line, paying two dollars
(07:22):
a gallon to take this water home because it was
helping them. So it's like, Okay, if no one understands
what's going on, I'm going to figure it out. I'm
going to figure out what helped my wife because I
want to be able to answer that question. So a
year and a half later, I came to understand that
the pH was completely nothing to do with it, as
I thought from the beginning. But the water had a
(07:47):
negative ORP, which ORP stands for oxidation reduction potential, and
I believe that that was enough to help my wife's
gut start to repair. And once her gut started to repair.
She had wonderful things happening. Now, I will say this,
within this six month period of my wife's menstrual psychic normalizing,
(08:08):
menstro cycle normalizing, I actually did get a water machine.
But it wasn't my friends, it wasn't from that other
company because they kind of turned me off, and I
ended up doing research and finding out who was the
largest company manufacturing these alkaline water machines in the world.
(08:29):
It was a company in South Korea, and I ended
up contacting their company, and when they figured out who
I was, they sent me a machine for free for
my wife, and that is what actually really got her healed,
because there was hydrogen gas in that water. Even though
that machine was making alkaline water, the pH doesn't matter.
(08:50):
It was the hydrogen gas. And so I had figured
out that it was hydrogen gas. And that was two
thousand and five, went to the cruise. So now we're
into two thousand and seven, and by the time I
really had figured out it was hydrogen, I already had
a machine for over a year. At that point, my
wife had been drinking the water. She was doing amazing,
and my life was good, and I was figuring all
(09:11):
this out, and by two thousand and nine, I began
developing my own machine because I didn't want to have
water that was a higher pH I just wanted to
have water that had the hydrogen gas in it. And
so by twenty eleven we had our first machine in
stock and ready to go. The Echo seven is what
(09:32):
it was called, and that's that was from you know,
twenty eleven. It's many many years ago that machine has gone.
And of course we've continued to advance the technology today
to where you have battery operated products, we have machines,
we have whole house filtration, we have everything. We have
bath units where people can take a luxurious bath in
(09:52):
hydrogen water, and so nice. That's what's happened since. But
that was how I learned about it is trying to
do research, and it was it was one particular study
that I had gotten hold of and one of the
people that worked with me in another company at the
time has had a PhD in water, and this gentleman,
(10:15):
his name was Chris. I asked him to look over
these studies that I was reviewing to see if he
could find anything, because most of the stuff I was
finding really was nonsense. So he went and looked and
he goes, now, I agree, it's all nonsense, except for
this one study that you gave me. I really, I
think your answer is here. And he goes, buried in
this study, on this one graph, it talks about what
(10:38):
the mechanism of healing was. And he said, you see
that right there, DH And I said, DH, what is that?
And he said dissolved hydrogen. They said that there was
dissolved hydrogen gas. And as soon as I heard that,
my body resonated. You know how you get chilled sometimes
when you hear something that's right, and it just head
(11:00):
to toe and I was like, oh my gosh, I
gotta go. Okay, I'm going to research this morre. He goes,
do you want me to do it? And he goes,
I've got a nope. I said, You've got ten other
projects you're working on. I said, I got it, And
so I did. I continue my deep dive. But literally
I wanted to figure out how to do what had
(11:21):
happened to my wife for as many other people that
were suffering, and as many husbands who were as clueless
as I was with what was going on at the time,
and have an answer for them, have a solution. And
so here we are today, twenty years later from the
time we were on that cruise, but sixteen years later
since I started Echo and had developed the products to
(11:44):
focus on hydrogen, and we have millions upon millions of
people all over the world now that are drinking Echo
water and having tremendous benefits. And today, Connie, we have
over fourteen hundred studies, two hundred disease models showing that
hydrogen gas dissolved in water can help tremendously or even
(12:09):
fixed diseases. And so it's it's it's amazing. And so
because it sounded so amazing and it was, I didn't
want people to think it's some miracle care because it's not.
I created a website called hydrogen Studies dot com and
all the studies are there. People can go to hydrogen
studies dot com and all it is is a research
(12:33):
site where you can go and type in any organ, disease, whatever,
and if there are studies related to that having to
do with hydrogen, it'll they'll come up and you can
look at them. And so I really did that as
a public service so people could figure out if this
could
