*The analysis using the DBNBS reduction method and the DCFH-DA intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) determination method revealed that ERW and diseases-improvable natural waters such as Nordenau water in Germany and Hita water in Japan were all reduced waters (RWs) which could function as active hydrogen donors and intracellular ROS scavenge...
Article
Electrolysed-reduced water (ERW) contained Platinum nanocolloids (PtNCs) of 1–10 nm, suggesting that PtNCs in ERW functioned as active hydrogen donors and scavenge intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis revealed that synthesized PtNCs of about 2 nm scavenged superoxide anion radicals and DPPH rad...

The study examined changes in the tests parameters of 219 diabetes patients (115 female, 104 male) under the influence of what is known as the “Nordenau-Phenomenon”, which attributes a healing effect to an old slate tunnel with an underground spring. The average age of the test persons was 68.6 years; the average duration of their stay in Nordenau...

... It has been demonstrated that EW has reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity and can be used to treat oxidative stress-related diseases [101,102]. Regarding the anti-cancer effect of EW, it has been reported to down-regulate VEGF gene transcription and protein secretion by inactivating ERK, thereby reducing tumor blood vessel generation [8]. It was reported that NEW (pH = 6.6-7.8) ...
