Diamond Water: Is It Worth Nearly $3 A Liter?

By Alderin Ordell


Trying to find Diamond Water? It might be the healthiest water ever bottled. However, there are some facts you may want to think about before spend as much for a bottle of water as you would a cup of coffee!

Asa Soltan Rahmati is the creator of Diamond Water. She describes it as a 9.5 pH water that has been infused with "Love Energy" through an "ancient ritual" involving diamonds. She is one of the stars of Bravo's Sahs of Sunset, a proponent of an alkaline lifestyle including alkaline food and water, and has degrees in psychology and philosophy.

With a name like Diamond Water, you may think you're drinking water with diamond dust in it. That's not the case! It's called Diamond Water because the water is supposedly infused with diamond energy, which Rahmati describes as "the highest spiritual vibration that brings balance to your soul."

The other quality of "Diamond Water" is that it is alkaline, a 9.5 pH. 9.5 pH is commonly believed among researchers to be the ideal pH for drinking water. Research studies have been done on glacial streams, longevity springs, as well as the supposed "Fountain of Youth" in Lourdes, France and all of these waters were about a 9.5 pH. People who drink water from these sources are so much healthier than the general population, with decreased cases of adult onset diseases like cancer and diabetes and longer life expectancies.

On the Diamond Water website, claims are made that 9.5 pH alkaline water can "boost your metabolism", neutralize acid in your bloodstream", and even "help prevent disease."

However, alkalinity isn't all there is to water. When researchers studied the waters in France, the glacial streams, and the longevity springs, they found another VERY important characteristic: negative ORP.

Negative ORP is defined as the "oxygen reduction potential" of the water. In other words, it measures the antioxidants in the water. When water has a negative ORP, it has a wealth of ions to GIVE. When we drink this water, it offers those extra ions to unstable oxygen molecules in our cells called FREE RADICALS. When the free radical gets the extra ion, it is transformed into oxygen that our body absorbs as ENERGY.

Water with a strong negative ORP CLEANSES our body and it also gives our body ENERGY.

Pretty spectacular, huh?

The biggest issue I have with Diamond Water is that they don't say anything about having a strong negative ORP. They don't explain the process they use to make the water alkaline at all.

Since Diamond Water does not describe their process, we have no way of knowing about the antioxidant level of their water, and that is something I would want to know before I spend nearly $3 a liter.

You may want to think about this: water will BREAK DOWN if it's removed from its energy source, like the sun. This means that all the beneficial antioxidants will go away in the same manner a soda will lose its carbonation if it sits too long. Broken down water will oxidize your body (think rust). This means that Diamond Water may be alkaline but if it has a positive ORP, it will RUST your cells.

The ancient diamond ritual aspect of Diamond Water is a matter of faith. You have to ask your ask do you believe Asa Rahmati can change water with diamond energy? And if she can, can she do it effectively to all the water that is bottled in her factories?

Consider an alternative to Diamond water: water ionizers. Water ionizers are designed to recreate the most natural water in the world. The do this by first filtering the water to 99.99 %+ purity using multi-stage filtration systems that include activated carbon, ceramic, felt, and even ion resin exchange for fluoride and heavy metal removal. They then run this pure water over platinum-titanium plates that mimic the sun's process of energizing water. And it works! The water that is created comes out a perfect 9.5 pH and has a strong negative ORP. A water ionizer can also create many other pH levels that are very useful to cooking and cleaning.

Water ionizers were invented over forty years ago in Russia, so they are among the most documented health machines ever made. There are hundreds of clinical studies that you can read on all the health benefits of ionized water produced by a water ionizer.

If you're still thinking about purchasing Diamond Water, here is one more point to consider: a liter of ionized water only costs you about two cents! Compare that to nearly $3 for Diamond Water! I guess you have to ask yourself how much are you willing to spend for your water? Remember, you have to drink a lot!
