How Does Tourmaline work? - Nature's Source of Far Infrared and Negative Ions

Tourmaline has the unique property of emitting a natural form of FIR or Far Infra Red energy. The prefix 'infra' means 'below' and refers to the wavelengths that are just below the red end of the visible spectrum, hence 'infra-red'. FIR produces a form of radiant heat which is simply a form of energy that heats an object directly, without having to heat the surrounding air. The radiant properties of Infra -red occupies the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and radio waves. There are many, many health products that employ FIR, including many water products sold in the United States (one popular example would be the Wellness Filter). Water can absorb infrared rays from an external source. This phenomenon is called "resonant absorption." This absorption of the electromagnetic frequencies of FIR has an immediate and unique effect on the water, energizing the water, reducing surface tension and “conditioning” it prior to ionization. The tourmaline in the Biostone filter is put into a ceramic bead form. Ceramic is completely non reactive and non leaching. Many water filters employ ceramic media , and ceramic coatings are used widely in many applications, including in the medical field.

Tourmaline is a beautiful, semi-precious gem and has become a focus of research at universities and research centers worldwide. Why? Tourmaline is the only one mineral to show permanent electricity on the earth and is also a natural (non-manufactured) source of negative ions and far infrared (FIR) rays. Far infrared energy is also known to be helpful for improving circulation, relieving stress, increasing mental alertness and strengthening the immune system function (Niwa Institute for Immunology, Japan. Int J. Biometeorol 1993 Sep; 37(3) 133-8).

Around 1986, it was found in a research station in Japan that, even though tourmaline was broken down in smaller pieces, a positive and a negative electrode existed on both ends of the crystal, and the electrodes never disappeared unless tourmaline was boiled near 1000°C. In addition, when the positive and the negative electrodes of a tourmaline crystal were connected to each other, it was proven to show low electricity of 0.06mA (milli-Amps).

Tourmaline, in your filter, is used to naturally transform water into mild alkaline water, reduce water clustering (what happens to our stored water) and has anti-bacterial and deodorant qualities. Treated water applied to the skin gives an excellent effect of moisturizing and absorption.

• Tourmaline generates FIR that purifies the water, and acts like a 'supercharger', assisting the water alkalizer to ionize and alkalize.
• Tourmaline has been researched and found to activate animal & plant metabolism.
• Tourmaline has an immediate and powerful effect on water in the filter with the surfactant effect (makes water wetter) increasing by 101%.
• Toumaline negatively ionizes water and supports extra negative ionization in the water alkalizer. (24,140/cc) / FIR (96%)
• Other Tourmaline properties include:

  Reduces cluster size
  Enhances taste
  Assists alkalization - Regulation Effects of Tourmaline on Seawater pH Value
  Minimizes water odor
  Increases DO (Dissolved Oxygen)

The far infrared energy that Tourmaline naturally emits energy that causes a resonance in the body at the same frequency as water.

All matter is made up of uniquely-arranged electrons and molecules all moving in unison. When molecules are illuminated with electromagnetic radiation of the same intrinsic vibration frequency as the substance itself, the electromagnetic wave energy is absorbed and the amplitude of that substance's molecular vibration is increased. That's why when FIR, having the same vibration frequency, illuminates a substance, that substance will filter out the FIR and experience a "resonance absorption." This is a process known as "resonance-absorption to heat-generation" with the aid of FIR.

In other words, the vibration of atoms and molecules will result in resonance absorption. When we feel hot, we will instinctively seek shade. When we feel cold, we seek the warmth of sunshine. No one teaches us these responses. We have an innate desire for a comfortable temperature. Comfortable temperatures are actually synonymous with a comfortable energy frequency or "wavelength." That wavelength happens to be 8 to 14 microns - the same as FIR.

The seventy-five percent of our bodies composed of water, along with protein, fat and carbohydrates, which all must function properly to sustain life. When living things absorb FIR of 8 to 14 micron wavelength, they experience resonance absorption. The vibrating movement of molecules in living tissue produces an increase in energy which in turn activates cells and enhances metabolism.

FIR has three properties: radiation, deep penetration, and resonance absorption.

Let's look at the relationship between these three properties and living things.

Radiation: can directly reach human bodies just like light does. For example, sunlight, which is also radiation, reaches earth through the vastness of space.

Deep Penetration: FIR can reach well into subcutaneous layers of the body (or water) with its deep penetration ability, generating internal warmth suitable for molecule activation in living tissue.

Resonance Absorption: Once illuminated, there is intrinsic vibration of body components - water, protein, fat, enzymes. And, the interior of molecules - atoms and atomic structures - experience the resonance absorption of FIR of their same frequency. This elevation of molecular energy is known as "resonance and absorption."

In summary, Tourmaline and FIR help to provide the most healing and beneficial water available and will help to enhance and energize both your self-care program. The new Biostone filters are exclusive to the latest models from Jupiter Science.

Tourmaline is technically classified in the mineral group as a semi-precious gemstone of the silicate family. The term silicate is used to denote types of rock that consist predominantly of silicate minerals.

Two of the main building blocks of tourmaline are aluminum and boron which are bonded to form a trigonal crystal system which occurs as long, prismatic and columnar crystals.

This bonding effect which creates crystalline Tourmaline results in a very hard material with a hardness rating of 7-7.5 on the Mohs scale. To put its hardness into perspective, iron is a 4Mohs, and titanium is a 6Mohs – tourmaline being considerably harder than either. It is so hard in fact it retains its properties under enormous pressure and up to 600 degrees C.

The tourmaline in the Biostone filter is put into a ceramic bead form. Ceramic is completely non reactive and non leaching. Many water filters employ ceramic media.

Given the hardness of tourmaline, it's stable ceramic stucture, and the above lab test results, evidence shows that no aluminum is released from the Biotstone filter in to the water, infact the Biostone filter actually reduces Aluminum so significantly it is below the detectable levels.

So why is tourmaline in the Bioston filter? Tourmaline has the unique property of emitting a natural form of FIR or Far Infra Red energy. The prefix 'infra' means 'below' and refers to the wavelengths that are just below the red end of the visible spectrum, hence 'infra-red'. FIR produces a form of radiant heat which is simply a form of energy that heats an object directly, without having to heat the surrounding air. The radiant properties of Infra-red occupies the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and radio waves. There are many, many health products that employ FIR, including many water products. Water can absorb infrared rays from an external source. This phenomenon is called "resonant absorption." This absorbtion of the electromagnetic frequencies of FIR has an immediate and unique effect on the water, energizing the water, reducing surface tension and “conditioning” it prior to ionization, (electrolysis).

Biostone Water Filter Lab Report - Aluminum - Metal Removal

In this independent lab report the untreated control sample of water had a significant amount of metals added including Aluminum:

Aluminum 438 ugl (micrograms or parts per billion); and that the Biostone filtered it down to less than was detectable <30 ugl.

The U.S. EPA standard on Aluminum is .05 to 0.2 mgl or milligrams per liter. A microg ram is 1/1000th of a milligram. So at 30ugl, the Biostone would filter it to less than .0030mgl - a level so small it shows in the test report as not detectable. Rather than add aluminum, the Biostone actually does a superb job of removing it to non detectable levels.
