Although we still don’t know the actual mechanism behind how Dr. Willard’s Water® works, we can theorize based on laboratory testing and experimental observations.

Everyone is aware that without water living beings would not be able to survive more than a couple of days, but few people really appreciate the important role water plays in our life processes and the maintenance of good health. All living beings are primarily made up of water. Every biochemical process that occurs in a living being does so in a liquid medium. If the proper pH, osmotic pressure, electrolyte balance, etc. is not optimal, then optimal results wouldn’t be expected.

We do know, however, that Dr. Willard’s Water® is a great free radical scavenger and serves as a catalyst in a variety of different situations. According to Sister Marmion Howe, Professor Emeritus of Biology at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, her testing has shown that in some way Dr. Willard’s Water® has “surfactant” properties. This is similar to adding a detergent to water to wash a greasy pan — ordinary water alone would not do the job nearly as well as added soap. Dr. Willard’s Water®, in some way, then seems to make water “better” biologically, so that reactions can occur at an incredibly higher level.

The digestion process involves many complex chemical reactions. Digestion begins in the mouth where saliva is mixed in with the food and water consumed. The food must be broken down by hydrolysis into minute particles that can be absorbed into the blood stream. (Hydrolysis is the decomposition of materials by water.) Because Dr Willard’s Water® is a more reactive form of water, it seems to help these processes occur more effectively. From the food consumed, fats have to be broken down into simple fatty acids, carbohydrates into simple sugars and proteins into amino acids. Dr. Willard’s Water® seems to, in some way, facilitate this process.  Testing has shown that subjects drinking Dr. Willard's Water® have LITTLE OR NO UNDIGESTED NUTRIENTS in their urine or feces which means their bodies absorbed far more of the vitamins and minerals needed to maintain optimum health.

Dr. Willard was reported to say that he thought that “normally 18-20 percent of B vitamins are assimilated by the body, but when taken with a glass of this water, the assimilation increases to 80-85 percent!”

Other tests showed that antibiotics used in conjunction with Dr. Willard’s Water® demonstrated a more effective sensitivity pattern against staphylococci bacteria than the antibiotic without it.

Since water is one of the most basic and important factors sustaining life, it stands to reason that anything that enhances the role it plays would be beneficial. Dr. Willard’s Water® is very much that catalyst.

Who Was Dr. John W. Willard?

In the late 1960's, an amazing discovery was made by a brilliant scientist…John Willard, PhD. At the time this talented chemistry professor was in the process of conducting research on a highly concentrated trace mineral water when he serendipitously made a miraculous discovery. He was working on his trace mineral water when “through the grace of God,” as described by Dr. Willard, he had an inspiration to combine his trace mineral water with another product he’d been developing. With that small stroke of inspired genius he had invented Willard Water. Dr. Willard first named his amazing discovery Catalyst Altered Water because the newly created product causes the formation of “a catalyst that alters the structure of water, making water behave in a manner that had not been reported in the literature” as stated by Dr. Willard. This amazing water also includes fossilized organics that consist of activated carbon, amino acids, trace minerals and refined lignite (lignite is the fossil remains of plants that grew 50 million years ago).

As a scientist, Dr. Willard was intensely interested in the reasons behind the positive qualities of Willard Water. He spent the rest of his life working with scientists at places as diverse as Purdue University, the University of British Columbia and the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, among many others, to conduct in-depth research on his Willard Water to find how and why it works so well. Willard Water has even been the subject of a hearing before the U.S. Congress as well as a very extensive 60 Minutes segment. Regardless of the source they all found the same thing…Dr. Willard invented a truly amazing product!

Dr. Willard passed away in 1991 at the age of 84. Today, Dr. Willard’s® products are still manufactured by Dr. Willard’s family business, CAW Industries, Inc., using state of the art mixing, filling, processing facilities. Consistency, purity and cleanliness are always maintained throughout the production process. CAW Industries, Inc. is the ORIGINAL and ONLY manufacturer of Dr. Willard’s products and Nutrition Coalition Inc., it the only authorized distributor of the Ultimate Dark Willard's Water.
