Most Advanced New Technologies For Water Filtration & Structured Water With Zach Greenfield
and some of these Farms were not even you know using the physical vortexing of water we're using the our harmonizer which is basically resonance and you know with both of those with both vortexing and harmonizing you know we're noticing uh you know less hurt anxiety calmer animals faster weight gain in a livestock decreased mortality rates the benefits that they've noticed have been incredible and it equates out to them like for increased profits in addition to you know all the positive effects it's having on the animals [Music] well well well folks it's time for another entertaining podcast with one of my dear family members it's always fun for me to be able to put family members of mine in the in the hot seat the podcasting hot seat so to speak and watch them sweat um plus it's always it's always endearing to be able to just speak with one of my loved ones on the show uh my dad's been on the show Gary Greenfield he joined me on a podcast where we talked all about water and sunlight and grounding and even his whole history of of moving to Idaho from Miami Florida with a dream of becoming a farmer and how he eventually you went from being a fireman to owning a coffee shop to repairing espresso machines to becoming an expert in the water filtration industry including a form of water filtration that includes what seems to be an increasingly Hot Topic in the health industry these days structured water uh and then I also interviewed my mom Pat Greenfield we talked about homeschooling and alternative education we talked more about coffee because it's impossible to talk to a Greenfield without coffee coming up uh we talked about writing editing music we even delved into some of her history of trauma and how she's dealt with that and that was very open and raw and pretty meaningful interview and I'm going to link to both of those in the show notes for this podcast which you can find at bengreenfieldlife.com Zach that's bengreenfieldlife.com z-a-c-h because my guest on today's show is none other than my younger brother Zach Greenfield now Zach uh has a deep history in all sorts of different areas he's been a model he has been a firefighter and a paramedic and he has also of late uh come on as director of operations at Greenfield Water Solutions and he knows a lot about water structuring units and how to filter your water and clean it and because I just published my boundless parenting book I thought it would be interesting to a talk to a family member and also because I get so many questions from you guys about how to filter your water and what the best technology is for doing so um Zach also knows a lot about this as well so by the way are you still finishing your Nursing degree too yeah I'm still in nursing school awesome cool well um there's a lot that we can talk about here but if someone were to Google Zach Greenfield which I've had some of my friends do before Google image search of Zach Greenfield there there's some photos of you displaying your six-pack abs and and massively Fit Body and I know you're a former model and maybe not quite so into that these days but I'm curious as a green field and people are always asking me this question so I'm going to flip it around ask you what are some of the key things that you're doing these days as part of your your Fitness routine or your health routine or your diet routine yeah um honestly a big one for me is you know is really having structure so I you know I always have a trainer I always have workouts that are prescribed for me um you know with resistance training hit cardio and really I I tend to thrive with structure so I actually also track my macros I track what I eat don't really have to but it gives me structure and I tend you know I thrive with that so um you know I don't take a ton of supplements I do pretty basic creatine e Double A's um you know colostrum uh stuff like that nothing crazy and I keep it pretty simple um uh and and try to keep it structured that way stay on track better yeah you know it is kind of interesting because you get a lot of people now talking about how they're trying to keep things natural and not take a lot of supplements and then I recently came across this guy he apparently holds like the world record in age reversal as far as achieving perfect Fitness biomarkers and epigenetic age reversal and slowed pace of aging and all this crazy stuff his name is Brian Johnson and I think I'm actually going to interview him on my podcast or figure out a way to chat with him at some point but if you actually go to his website I think it's blueprint.brienjohnson.com he has a whole list of all the supplements that he takes and it's literally I mean I I don't want to put words in his mouth or in this case capsules in his mouth but it looks like probably the equivalent of maybe like 60 or 70 capsules in the morning probably another like 50 to 60 in the evening a few more before bed and then all these other ones kind of like spread between meals like it's nuts and I've talked to some people in the anti-aging or longevity industry and to me it seems like you have to strike a balance because it it almost feels like these people are like living their whole lives in a hyperbaric chamber or a cryotherapy chamber like popping hundreds of supplements all the time and just hyper obsessed with adding you know one extra hour to every 24 hours of the day of longevity so they can live a long time and Jess and I were actually talking about last night on the drive home about how it just seems near obsessive and we wonder what the sense would be to live a long time if you're spending most of it worrying about how you're going to live a long time you know totally agree I mean it's it just it gets too complicated for me there's there's too much to to track and I I don't know I just I like to keep things you know pretty simple and easy to where I don't have to put so much focus on that or actually you know even worry about that stuff um you know I like it just I haven't found it necessary and I just haven't had a desire to do that a lot of people ask me about how we ate growing up and my general impression because they're like oh your mom and dad's super into Health were they like you know the hippies and Patchouli oil and and shopping at whatever the early equivalent in Lewiston Idaho of Whole Foods would have been and I say no but what what what what do you think as far as how we were raised like were there were there any aspects of health or healthy eating or Healthy Living that you can remember um I don't remember there being a big focus on it I think we kind of had like a typical like average American family diet to be honest like we you know um we would eat I remember on Wednesdays McDonald's had like the 29 cheeseburger and 39 Cent you know whatever it was and dad would bring home bags of that like I think it was 20 29 hamburger 39 cheeseburger yeah yeah and so like and that was like kind of a Wednesday thing you know and then we would do uh Saturday would be like milkshakes and popcorn for dinner um so I mean you know we had obviously a balance of you know veggies and stuff but there was really nothing crazy special about our diet growing up like you know I actually even remember us eating uh fluoride supplement tablets with our multivitamins I mean I Remember The Flintstones I don't remember the fluoride supplements which is crazy you have these little pink tablets oh wait that's what those were those were fluoride I just I just grabbed as many vitamins as I want because all the ones we had tasted good the the the um the 29 cent hamburger 39 Cent cheeseburger I do remember that because we had a giant Suburban mom would go through the drive through we would have giant greasy bags full of burgers and that would be our meal from like Wednesday through about Saturday till the hamburgers and cheeseburgers ran out I remember that we did have lettuce but it was always like the big white iceberg lettuce then we had the giant canisters of ranch dressing from Costco I would just drowned the lettuce in ranch dressing and those are vegetables and then um take and bake pizza was another big one I remember taking baked pizzas yeah a lot of like uh Little Caesars and Papa Murphy's yeah yeah and then the other one that we used to do a lot was like date nights and post baseball dates to I the the top three I can think of was we did Dairy Queen a lot like tons of blizzards at Dairy Queen and then uh the McDonald's big breakfast that was the one where I would always compete with dad to see who could eat the entire big breakfast at McDonald's with a little crunchy hash brown and the eggs and the syrup everything and then Donuts tons of donuts yeah I remember all that now at what point did you kind of like start to learn a little bit more about Healthy nutrition or about shifting your diet um honestly probably not until I left for paramedic school um you know diet really wasn't like a big deal to me and when I got to medic school you know I was I was super skinny at that age I was 19 years old and um and I went to medic school with I went to a contract School through the Air Force Through The Prayer rescue program and so there was like two PJs and like a Navy Seal in my class and these guys were yoked and they got me interested in like weight lifting and dying these guys like helped me with my diet you know help them put together a workout plan and that was kind of like my first introduction into fitness was through these guys in my class what are you using right now to track your your Macros I use MyFitnessPal no yeah that's a good one I know a lot of people use uh uh the other two I hear really good things about right now chronometer and macro Factor the one I've used in the past is chronometer because it'll give you when you when you type in your food data it gives you a breakdown of a lot of like micro minerals micronutrients you know individualized fatty acids like if you actually do want to track which since I hung up the hat with bodybuilding I don't do as much anymore like I did I think chronometer is really good I haven't messed around that much of macro Factor but it's supposed to be pretty decent also y'all have to check it out and I mean again that for me it's like I don't even I don't even get down that nitty-gritty like I'm really just tracking like I I pay attention to the the types of fats that I eat but I really just track the three main protein carbs to that and then on my own you know obviously like I dial things into where I'm eating you know pretty healthy food you know it's not just like I'm getting fats from any fat like I'm pretty I'm selective about you know what I'm actually eating but I generally only track the three major the three major components yeah yeah that makes sense did you ever run into especially in the modeling industry a lot of issues with what you hear about you know eating disorder and um what's the one from Zoolander bulimia the ability to read minds yeah yeah um my modeling experience was a little different because being like a bigger person like I didn't do like high fashion or anything like that I really didn't like a lot of athletic stuff more athletic oriented stuff like maybe Nike or you know Adidas and stuff like that and that's a totally different vibe totally different Niche like you don't see a lot of the same stuff like it was actually a really good experience for me it was a lot of really solid people um really Fitness oriented people there were a couple times when you know I I did see um you know the whole bulimia thing but it wasn't really wasn't really common like my experience was actually pretty good probably different than like a typical fashion modeling experience yeah yeah I I briefly when I was uh when I was bodybuilding and we got to the point where you had to make weight and I think I was I was middle heavyweight it was when middle heavyweight and I came in in the morning and I was like a pound heavy and I remember like sticking my finger down my throat in the bathroom like spitting throwing up feeling all the acid coming up the throat and thinking oh my gosh like how how could someone do this for for years like and you hear about things like esophageal cancer and acidic damage and I realized that that it's a it's a pretty major issue but yeah like it's it's just it's it's so rampant in that world I think in the bodybuilding in the fitness modeling world too it's pretty crazy yeah no that's that's nuts I mean it's not I I was fortunately didn't really get around any of that yeah I would say it was a good experience overall but yeah it's crazy it happens so growing growing up we obviously did not have what I think a lot of people think we had which was you know some Uber healthy upbringing with the focus on diet and fitness Etc but one unique aspect of our upbringing was we were homeschooled and you know I don't know what your thoughts are about being homeschooled and you know if if you felt the same way I did as though it was a little bit weird it was a little bit awkward but how did you navigate socially through being homeschooled and then kind of getting out into what a lot of people call the real world College Etc after homeschooling well I think we were I mean kind of you know in the space we were in you almost you don't know what you don't know right like I didn't have the experience of of being able to compare what public school would be like or even private school um I think we were fortunate to have been well socialized as homeschoolers probably more than most because we were in the Remember The Homeschool Group the port cities home Engineers or whatever it was right Port City's Home Educators like a co-op kind of yeah and there was like there was a lot of your like what you would consider like a typical homeschooler you know like kind of anti-social like nerdy or dorky which was at that you know the time we were homeschooled that was kind of like the view of homeschoolers now I think it's obviously changed because so many more people are homeschooling you know especially after covet stuff like that but during that time it was like you know the Nerds and the dorks and the anti-social kids yeah suspenders spectacles hold up to the belly button black sneakers that were handed down to you from your 18 siblings that came before you yeah yeah yeah and I think like our experience was like different um you know looking back you know in hindsight but I don't uh you know you were involved in sports a lot more heavily like duly enrolled in sports through Public School than I was and so my experience is probably a little bit different in that there were times when I was like you know I kind of was aware of you know um the difference you know especially even going to like public school games or playing basketball against public schools like just a different mentality in a different vibe and you did you know I would feel a little bit like an outsider like I wasn't you know part of like what normal kids go through but I don't think it really ever really bothered me that much like I was aware of it but I mean being kind of more of like a free spirit like happy-go-lucky like I loved the experience because I could get done with school at noon um you know good education then I could pursue all my hobbies and go outside and and hike and swim in the pool whatever you know and it was I mean I had no complaints there why would I want to give that up to go sit down in a classroom for eight hours yeah that was that was the same with me like the coolest part was you could get up you could just burn through all of your studies even though we were very curricular based like with river and Tara and we unschooled and we don't use a lot of books it's just a lot of life-based experiences that form the the Crux of their education but for for you and me and you know Isaac and Rosie well not Rosie had a little bit different education but like Natalie growing up it was a lot of books like the abecca curriculum and the Bob Jones curriculum and we would just basically wake up and we'd have the stack of books we'd know what the lessons were for that day we'd burn through them and like you said you know we'd be done at like 11 A.M noon and then the rest of the day was just like hiking playing in the pool hanging out with our friends you know for me I was pretty nerdy so I I would finish school then I'd like convince mom to drop me off at the library go get like eight more books and come home and you know read some more because I just I love to learn and so you know and it's just the accelerated pace of learning in general like I don't know if you remember this but I started college and I was 15 like that's why I enrolled at LCSC just because you get ahead when you're homeschooling but yeah I think that that probably our Saving Grace was being a part of a huge group of homeschoolers we just we pretty much always had people over at our house didn't we oh man like all the time I remember we did you know another thing we used to do was the itbs testing which was like Idaho state required homeschoolers to do this testing where it was like to make sure you were on par you know we were mostly you know ahead of the curve just because we had pretty focused education but I remember that being also one of those things where I was like well I know we're we're doing we're not behind or anything like that so I'm just you know on a from a Scholastic sense like you know there was confidence there that we were we were doing just fine but yeah yeah I remember taking those standardized tests every year because we had to it's the same thing in Washington with river and Terran like we actually have I think it's 12 core subjects in Washington science chemistry math Reading Writing social sciences Etc they have to demonstrate core Proficiency in Via journaling and keeping track of their daily activities but we don't we actually don't have to take a yearly standardized test as long as we keep journals of everything that they've done and those those are available to be audited or whatever like we we don't really have to worry besides the fact that we have to bear in mind if they do want to go to college we need to ensure that they're not behind on certain subjects so that if they do need to take a college entrance exam you know they they've never seen algebra or calculus or something along those lines but it's not that difficult and you're right like the percentage of people homeschooling now has just absolutely exploded I don't know what it was before covid but I heard it was I think it was something like between 1 and 3 and last I heard it was above 10 after covid so it's obviously becoming a lot more a lot more common the the other thing that was interesting I think for us was the whole idea of like having a dad who was a Serial entrepreneur and a grandfather who is a pretty successful businessman an entrepreneur how you know I want to talk about Greenfield water here in a little bit and what you do and about you know water filtration technology and all the questions that we get about water because half the time just passing people on to you so I thought it'd be cool to actually do a podcast and answer some of these questions but just from an entrepreneurial business standpoint in general do you feel like we grew up I always wonder this I want to ask you like we grew up with this entrepreneurial bug and almost this idea that you don't work for people you start your own business yeah no I think like even though it wasn't entrepreneurialism probably at least for me wasn't in my sights growing up I think just as a kid in your formative years when you're around that stuff like the whole concept of that is pretty natural you know like especially seeing dad you know go from like either the jet boat the custom jet boat welding you know company yeah and then you know for me the ones I remember the most where we had the private rural fire service for people that you know paid monthly for fire protection or the you know the ambulance company and so kind of like you know following him around and being in these places like physically present in these places you know growing up um you just the whole idea of it kind of became like well you know he can just do this he can just go into these you know different Arenas and start something and so the whole you know maybe that obstacle some people have of like well I don't know if I can do it really maybe didn't exist as much with us because we saw it all the time like we were around it all the time and we saw him go through with his stuff and and make it work so I think naturally just that energy being around that was probably really helpful in you know us making decisions to go and do the same thing yeah I think my perspective on it was I saw a dad you know once once he decided to go from firefighting into starting an ambulance company and then a Communications company and then remember he bought a bagel franchise for a while and started running coffee shops had the rural fire department what else did he do he had what was the thing you just mentioned I had forgotten about the um yeah the jet boat company where you know I was a janitor down the jet boat Warehouse that was one of my that that and making copies and doing medical insurance billing where three of my first jobs I remember I would actually take the Mavis Beacon typing tutor uh software and and just Crush that every day because I wanted to beat Gina the medical billing secretary at how fast we could do medical insurance claims so I think starting when I was 13 until I was 15 I would get up at 4am and just scan through as many insurance claims as I could for like two hours and it was I've they paid me almost nothing it was like 10 cents a claim that I finished but it was like competition to myself to see if I could finish more claims than Gina did during the work day so I actually learned a ton about like medical terminology and you know and and the language from doing that and you know back to the entrepreneurial thing though you know I haven't talked about this much on the podcast before but Grandpa bill on Dad's side he was he was a really successful entrepreneur I mean first in cookware and then next in the the answer phone dictaphone answering machines like he was buddies with Zig Ziglar and all those old old school like motivational speaking sales guys and I don't know if you remember but if you went and looked at the bookshelf in his office it was all like body language books and sales books and self-improvement books and you know psychology of business books and I think Dad probably got a little bit of that from him and then you know I I feel like I personally just picked up a lot of that through osmosis just watching Dad run all these businesses but always at the back of my mind I I never thought dad thought big enough like it like with Greenfield coffee for example I was always like dude start a website like ship internationally franchise do the Starbucks thing and so I you know I I always wish that he would go big with the business now it seems like Greenfield water is actually it's it's taking that direction like it's actually branded and it's popular it's becoming this it's kind of like Nationwide or even worldwide phenomenon but it is it is interesting to grow up with a dad who's just constantly shifting from job to job career to Career business to business like that I feel like a little bit of that rubbed off on me and maybe you too yeah I mean I think the thing is with Dad is he was he went into these different businesses but it wasn't really I think it was less of like oh I can strike it big you know doing this but for him it was more like a passion driven thing and I think that's probably why you know a lot of them weren't like you know trying to scale up and get big because it was really kind of like my passion yeah and he was kind of focused on the passion trying to do the best job he possibly could at that you know at that one thing it's it's a good that's a good point it's more like art like I don't know if you read Rick rubin's new book the creative act but it when he talks about artists you know he talks about how you do it for you you do it for the art you do it for the expression you don't do it for the money or the fame or the popularity or the number of customers I never really thought about it from the perspective that you just outlined like Dad did always Pride himself in like this is going to be the most amazing cup of coffee even if only three people drink this it's just like the best cup of coffee ever or when you go and visit him at his water filtration facility down there in Biola now you know if you get a tour of the facility like he's super proud all the way down to the back room where there's like the drops of water from Jacob's Well surrounded by you know icons of the Holy desert fathers and you know and and each each filter that goes out is is blessed with this water like it is kind of this thing where it's this unique blend of him taking a great deal of pride in the actual art and uniqueness of the substance and not necessarily the the popularity of it you know yeah totally and that's I think that's something that I really noticed when I came into green filled water especially you know being like the one business of his that I'm obviously now very involved in you know um it's been very very evident that's the case like it's all comes from like a desire to provide something um you know because of a passion he has and because of the realization he has and I think that's really important I think that's um but I think it's incredibly important especially for offering something that's like really works and is really quality versus just trying to sling things off the shelf yeah yeah and that's probably like the longest introduction ever into water but I thought it'd be interesting just for people to hear a little bit about about our our background and you know and how this this whole Greenfield water thing came to be and correct me if I'm wrong by the way just just a little bit back to the beginnings of Greenfield water like from my understanding when Dad was repairing espresso machines he might have a little bit different way of telling this story maybe you too but he found that and and being Gourmet Coffee Roaster he found that the two major things that affected the quality of the coffee and the cupping experience was the quality of the being the sourcing of The Bean and the roasting process but then also the water that was being used in the espresso machine or in the in the the making of the cup of coffee and that's how we originally got interested in the science of water does that sound about right yeah yeah no exactly I mean water is something that's I think a lot of times overlooked too in like restaurant industry and stuff like that is really the quality of the water and how much it actually affects the taste of the coffee um it's huge yeah yeah so so let's let's talk about green filled water so how do you describe Greenfield water to people like like as far as what Greenfield Water Solutions does well really I mean we offer high-end water filtration but I think the more foundational aspect of it is the structuring and energizing that we you know the component that we add to all of our systems and really I would say the the ultimate description would be bringing water back to its natural state which covers quite a bit of ground you know that covers you know clean water that covers water that's energized and structured and you know in a natural state which you know is you know congruent with using principles that are congruent with nature which our body is going to respond to the best so so is structured water is that basically what the water filter is producing like like when it goes through the filter and comes up the other end is is the main differentiating characteristic the fact that the water is you know some people call magnetized some people call it hexagonal water but basically water with the structure that's been altered or deform a cluster right like a crystalline structure like a hexagonal structure that you normally wouldn't get if it was sitting in cisterns or in Municipal Water Supplies it's basically water closer to what water would be from a molecular standpoint if it were like tumbling over rocks in an underground spring or something like that yeah exactly like and then adding the component of you know filtering to that but ultimately I think the most foundational key difference in providing a water filter that gives you clean water that's great but then making it really Health beneficial and actually like increasing your life force energy and you know helping with recovery and hydration like that's really the key thing I mean you're getting so much so most of the benefits of water are going to come from putting it in that state versus just running it through a filter and making it clean yeah and it's different than than H2O like like structured water and you know Gerald Pollock is probably the most well-known Guy at University of Washington who has done a lot of research on what's called fourth phase water or easy water this idea and Dr Thomas Cowan talks about this a lot too if you look at water for example in a fruit or in like a chia seed pudding or um in in structured water or probably most relevant to Health in the actual water that's in the cells in the human body the chemical formulas close to the h3o2 like it's three hydrogen molecules combined with two oxygen molecules it's a it's thicker it's denser it's more viscous than normal water and it's more of like a gel like substance and from a cellular standpoint that's what allows for the transfer of electrolytes in and out of cells like like there's this old school idea I think it was uh Gilbert Ling was the original researcher who proposed that possibly this sodium potassium pump that we all learn about in biology is not necessarily the main way that that um charges move in and out of a cell and that the the main way that charges are distributed is via the movement of charges through this gel-like structure of water and those molecules of structured water because they're thicker and denser and more viscous are supposed to have a higher what's called like a vibrational charge and so you're actually able to stay hydrated better and you're able to allow for electron transfer in and out of cells a little bit more readily when the water is in that that hexagonal pattern and then Gerald Pollock what he found was a University of Washington like if he'd shine photons of light like sunlight for example uh water in a test tube that the water that was structured kind of moved up the test tube Against Gravity in the same way that it would say like in the vasculature of a plant and so the water has less resistance to traveling through vessels and there's this guy Stephen Hussey wrote a book called understand in the heart and he talks about how the heart is a toroidal shape yeah I think he describes as like a tetrahedron shape inside the chest where when the heart beats or pumps or contracts there's no way from a physics standpoint that the strength of that pumping action would be strong enough to move all the blood in your body through all the little capillaries that would distribute blood throughout the entire body all the way out to each fingertip or the end of each toe and throughout each organ and therefore what the heart is doing is when it's pumping it's creating like like a vortus it's almost like a swirling action that swirls the blood that structures the fluid and that allows for it to move against resistance more readily because it's pulled by a charge I think it's a positive charge on the on the interior of the vessel and a negative charge in in the water that's allowing water to move in the same way that water would move against gravity up through a plant that's the way that it's moving through your body and so if you're getting things like sunlight exposure drinking structured water getting adequate intake of electrolytes and minerals and things like magnesium you're actually able to have better cardiovascular performance and ultimately better oxygenation of tissue and you know poor oxygenation of tissue is what's related to most chronic diseases and so if you're able to somehow structure the water in your body to drink structured water to get adequate access to photons of light you almost create this perfect scenario for hydration and oxygenation yeah exactly and I think that's you know it's been incredibly helpful to have you know people like Dr Gerald Pollock kind of put a scientific you know Mark on something that was really kind of considered woo-woo for quite a long time so I think it's important to have that I mean it's been incredible to have people like him kind of have describe the functionality on a scientific level and I think in addition to that you know there's also the energetic side of things other than the physical vortexing you know there's you know there's so much evidence that shows that water actually collects stores and transmits transmits information like a computer almost like you know uh that receives stores and transmits information and so you know um like Massaro emodu who is a water researcher like with human consciousness which is you know essentially EMF energy he was able to see that you know water subjected to different energetic stimuli it would have an effect on the water when the water was frozen and so he would study the crystalline structure of water in that state and so they kind of brought like this uh this that it brings like this important energetic side to the you know the physical vortexing of water too which is um you know I think really important to you know add to the effects of structured water and it's important to understand that stuff too I think yeah it's it's interesting like Massaro Moto catches a lot of flack because I think some of his research wasn't as as well done as you know a guy like Gerald Pollock when it comes to actual molecular composition of the water but his idea was well water that gets exposed to certain energies especially water if it's in this hexagonal structure is able to hold or store that information which is the it's it's the theory behind things like Homeopathy or dissolving things in very very small amounts in water and the water carries the information or the frequency or the energy of that thing that it's been exposed to and so when you drink the water you get a lot of those effects like there's one device it's called an infopathy device I've experimented with it a little bit it'll like blast the water with the frequency or the energy of let's say uh something you'd want to have before a meal to stabilize blood glucose like bare bearing and rather than taking a bare bearing cap so you could actually drink the water that's been exposed to the frequency or the energy of bare bearing and get a similar effect and I realize like a lot of people are raising their eyebrows at that and wondering you know how how legit that is but I I think that the bigger picture whether or not you believe water could be the same as taking a supplement is that if water is somehow structured it can allow for better carrying of minerals through the body and may possibly allow for better hydration and I think what's interesting is some of the stuff that you guys have noticed when you're using these these filters that structure the water with you know things like animals pets I know you've done some stuff with people but I think I think Dad was telling me about some of the Farms that use the larger filtration units what have you guys seen well it's pretty incredible I mean you know in some of these Farms we're not even you know using the physical vortexing of water we're using the or harmonizer which is basically resonance right um and you know um a subtle positive electromagnetic frequencies that are imparted like you know completely comprised of you know ingredients that are in congruency with nature and you know with both of those with both vortexing and harmonizing you know we're noticing uh you know less hurt anxiety calmer animals faster weight gain in livestock um and a lot of these a lot of these Farms are are conventional too they're not necessarily like you know totally Organic Farms but decreased mortality rates and then you know a big one is a um animals preferring troughs with structured water or with a harmonizer in the trough versus you know your standard tap water um so these are a lot of you know and a lot of these are anecdotal from you know ranchers and Farmers that you know are using these devices but you know the the benefits that they've noticed have been incredible and it equates out to them like for increased profits in addition to you know all the positive effects it's having on the animals yeah yeah and and despite the the science in my opinion again being weak this idea that you can order water kind of like a crystal right and that forms that exclusion Zone that allows it to move through vasculature more readily and may also enhance the filtration process if you do create this unique molecular structure in water I think that's interesting even though there's not a ton of great science behind it but I think what's more compelling is what actually happens to people what they report when they drink this water and when they bathe in and shower in it and how it how it tastes so as far as the actual filters themselves what's going on like how is it how is the structuring process actually taking place so so basically I mean you know we manufacture The Vortex or energizers but we don't manufacture filters so we go out and we find you know the best companies we can you know either in Germany or America or Italy or wherever that you know provide the best filtration we can find so we Marry The Vortex that are Energizer to that so like on a typical undersink system we have three stages of filtration and then as it goes up before it goes up to your sink or your spigot it's going through a a Vortex or Energizer so that it's kind of like to polish the water off our final step is structuring and energizing the water before you know goes into your glass and it's the same thing with our whole home systems too like these components are on you know everything every filter that we sell has that attached to it so so the actual filters themselves you're importing those from what where where exactly you're importing them from like where are you finding the filtration technology so in kind of searching for like the best filtration we had to bring on people that were actually you know very well educated in water filtration that had been in the industry for a long time and then through them you know we found suppliers that you know comparing different types of carbon comparing the surface areas of the carbon the carbons charged its Effectiveness and most of our media has come out of Germany um through a company called watch water and um this company's kind of on the spearhead of water filtration and figuring figuring out how to have you know optimal filtration without the side effects of like Ro and distillation like without water waste and without removing all the minerals and um and that's the company that we've you know been really working with a lot just because of how forward Focus they are and how focused they are and not kind of staying stagnant and in Old archaic filtration techniques but actually you know as water is getting worse you know being able to move with that in provide the best filtration possible and you know that's and we're constantly you know we're constantly looking for the Silver Bullet you know you're never going to find the silver bullet but the the goal is to get as close as possible and that's why we work with companies that are constantly moving in that direction you've seen my water filtration system I have a well so first it's going through a manganese filter and a bacterial iron filter but then it passes through one of these whole house structured water filters that you guys make is it like a carbon block is it reverse osmosis or what's the actual what's the actual filter so we have different filters for for different functions so we do have you know catalytic carbon carbon block we have arsenic specific filters we're working on a technology right now that is um that was beta testing and with some customers that actually filters um you know there's no no filtration is perfect like you take Ro for instance you're not going to get everything out with ro there's nothing that can get everything out of the water you can get close okay but you have drawbacks to each of those so we're working with the technology now where we're able to achieve you know distillation level filtration and even better without the Water waste and without any of the other you know drawbacks of distillation in Ro like you know having a holding tank and you know wasting a ton of water and having you know concentrated contaminants and membranes um we're you know our goal is to be able to get the water to where you just turn on your spigot and the water is coming out of the same pressure as the house without having to drain without having a holding tank or anything else and so we're testing a technology now I mean any filter you use is going to be affected by Water Dynamics because no water is going to be like Live Water right water is so Dynamic and complex everywhere you go and so the challenge is to be able to provide a filter that filters to the customer's expectation um without you know having a lot of the drawbacks and and being able to work with different Water Dynamics and still have a really good outcome so is the first thing that somebody should do and I do want to talk about what people could do if they can't do a whole house because obviously the gold standard would be structure filter and structure all the water you're going to be drinking bathing in feeding to your pets you know washing your dishes in ETC but and I do want to talk about some options for people who may not be able to install a whole house system like if they're renting or they're in a condo or apartment or something like that but if someone wants to install one of these filtration systems and there's a whole bunch of different options in terms of the filtration mediums is the first thing that somebody should do to actually test their water um it depends like if you're on City Water the the contaminants the amount of chlorine the amount of fluoride it's all going to fluctuate like today it might be different than next week because you know they might add fluoride or they might add chlorine um the contaminant profile is also going to change so in city water if you do a water test it's not really required because that's just going to take a snapshot of where the water is at right now the only Advantage would be like you might pick up like uh if they have old galvanized pipes you might see that oh they've got lead in their water that would be the only advantage to you know like maybe see how your plumbing is but overall like for City Water we just need like a local Water Report you know City water treatment facilities are transparent about for the most part they're really transparent about the levels and ranges of everything in the water so we can look at that and set someone up pretty effectively with a system where they don't need a water test you know well water of course there's a wild card you always have to have a test with that because you know yeah I know you guys have a whole list of different water test kits on your side but I think what a lot of people don't realize you can just type in the name of your town or city or whatever with the phrase water quality report and you'll get a listing of what's actually in your water and I think ewg the environmental working group they have a whole like water database where you can also look up what's actually in your water so if someone were to were to call you guys or email you and you know their location and you know that they're on Municipal Water not necessarily well water which they'd have to test you can at least get a decent idea of what type of filtration technology they should use in their home yeah absolutely I mean that gives us like a really good snapshot you know some of the things that are not on there are obviously Pharmaceuticals you know and uh you know maybe glyphosates there's certain things that you're not going to find on a city water report that we just assume are in the water right you go to any you know City tap water area you're probably going to have Trace Pharmaceuticals in the water like progestin estrogen you know ibuprofen heart medications wow so we always we always you know assume that's present in the water so we always treat that regardless broad spectrum filter but it is good to know for certain things like arsenic for instance which is more challenging to remove and requires something more specific it's really important for that and and all those major contaminants that we need to see are always listed on City Water reports what about fluoride yeah fluoride is also listed on there too not all cities add fluoride majority of them do like for instance Spokane where we live does not have fluoride to the water and there's no naturally occurring fluoride either which is a big plus that's pretty rare the fluoride levels are always they always have a range of how much fluoride is in the water okay got it yeah I I wasn't sure because I've heard that some of the test kits don't actually test for fluoride and they'll test for a lot of like heavy metals elements compounds you know inorganic chemicals pathogenic bacteria Etc but sometimes you have to do a separate fluoride test so it can be kind of kind of a process to actually test if you want to go above and beyond what your local Water Report is telling you or what the ew ewg water database is telling you but I know you guys have a pretty helpful um section of your website where you lay out all the different water test kits that one could do what they're testing for and whether you're on well or Municipal what to get so I'll hunt that down and link to it again the show notes going to be at bengreenfieldlife.com Zach because it
sounds to me like that'd really be step one before you decide what kind of filtration technology you want to get and then once once you've got the the test results or you know what you want to get as far as a filter you've used this term few times Zach I think you said harmonizer you say harmonizer or resonator yeah harmonizing what is that so the harmonizer is a small cartridge that's within the vortexer so we have the vortexing which is your physical toroidal vortexing of the water you know to mimic how water moves in nature okay so so is that where the water is passing through all of the I know a lot of companies use plastic beads you guys use like glass beads to Vortex we use glass or quartz balls okay triangular formation that that you know we have several of them lined up down the tube so the water is able to you know roll around each ball Collide and do the continuous thing to really mimic how like water would move in a waterfall or down a stream which you know sounds very simple but it's actually a pretty powerful effective technique to structuring water okay and from there you know we have water that you know you know if you're if you consider that water stores information there's a lot of negative information that's been imparted to the water between its Journey from the water source to your sink you know where the chemicals or straight pipes you know right angle turns which tends to destruction water so many different aspects so the harmonizer in there is meant to sort of impart positive information to the water using the subtle natural EMF basically so this EMF will convey that information to the water you mean like electromagnetic fields like like electromagnetic frequency so it's basically you know the frequency like a manifestation of a waveform you know conveys information like a digital signal or like voice and music frequencies for instance like convey information wirelessly it's the same concept but it's within a like a it's within a cartridge in in the vortex there and so as the water moves through there it's going you know past the vortexor which is imparting that information to the water which is where we see a lot of I mean we can't quantify you can't quantify structured water like very easily it takes a lot to do that other than you know seeing that in trials and the outcome of plant cell or you know plant health and soil health and stuff but what we can quantify are energetics so if you were to run water through a Vortex era and pass the Energizer and use gas discharge visualization or like electrophotonic videography you're able to see a massive increase in energy emitted from you know that drop of water interesting okay so if the water is if it passes through the structured water filter and then travels through all these Maze of pipes within a household or a property does it actually maintain any amount of the structure by the time it gets to your you know your tap or your sink or your shower head or whatever I mean it depends you know how big your house is if you have an 8 000 square foot house you might need a bigger vortexer and but really you know the way that we've Quantified this is obviously Farms you know that are using long pipes you know we've had similar effects with Leaf samples and soil samples using almost a kilometer of pipe um you know so we know that you know there it's hard to quantify how much distance but we know that the water will stay structured in most households you know you know because we do over engineer and oversize our vortexers to ensure that the water will stay structured but in our trials we've noticed that we have similar effects with a certain amount of uh a certain distance of pipe so the water will stay structured in a pipe it just depends on how long the water is traveling through that pipe and like the distance of the pipe and that's something that you know we're constantly researching okay got it and then these harmonizer cartridges that you have as part of the filtration system it's my understanding that's like a sealed copper cartridge that's got different quartzes and and minerals in it like tourmaline and chungai and zeolite and Bentonite things like that you know these Earth minerals and sea minerals and that's what is is combined with the actual structuring so it's getting Vortex and then exposed to all these minerals is that right exactly yeah like nearly every element on the periodic table of element periodic table of elements and then it's immersed in a highly charged spring water and then placed in that cartridge do you have any hypothesis as to why when I did as dad told me I put it I got I got a harmonizer I put one in my refrigerator um I've got one next to all my Essential Oils and I've got uh one in my hot tub and one of my pool I want to put one in the hot tub and in the pool we had a significant decrease in the amount of chemicals that were required to keep the water clean like we just have to use Trace Amounts of chemicals now because the water stays clean and and I know that you know our water that we're using to fill the pool is structured and filtered but when I put the harmonizer in it's like it it's somehow upgraded do you know what's going on with the harmonizer if you just put it in a refrigerator or you know in a pool or a hot tub or something like that well in a in with the way that the harmonizer works emitting you know positive EMF you do create a bioshield against you know negative EMF that's also a concept for just like personal health device like we're independent for instance it's harmonizer um what we noticed in you know in the trials on farming the conventional Farms that still use pesticides you know and chemicals and like the structured water will actually potentiate the effects of some of those and actually allow them to use you know 30 on average less chemicals on their Farm or less pesticides because of the way the water is working so we're increasing the permeability of the water and um you know some of those some of those Concepts you know I'm still grasping and understanding but um you know the after all you're just a fitness model right but it's um yeah but there's uh there's a big it's able to potentiate a lot of the things that you're putting in the water and but in in another sense too especially like with the pool you know we're also decreasing chlorine smell and you know decreasing the amount of chlorine you're using and having better effects in the pool and you know a lot of those concepts are more than just potentiating some of the chemicals that are put in but also changing the Dynamics of them too to where they're more effective so if someone's using a lot of these personal protection devices for EMF like there's also like I have a I have a Soma Vedic over here in the court people are constantly sending me the stuff I got a Soma Vedic I got a key device I got you know the Blue Shield all sorts of these different EMF blocking type of devices this harmonizer would kind of fall into that category absolutely yeah okay I mean a lot of these companies like you know some of Attica it's all they're all like these proprietary it's all the same concept right of subtle positive electromagnetic frequency ideally in a in a natural form which our body tends to respond to the best but they're all all the same Concepts each one just has a different proprietary way of doing it okay got it now the the vortexer because I want to talk about what you do if you can't afford or don't have a a house that you would install a whole house structure harmonizer unit in uh I have this on the go thing that Dad gave me it's a handheld vortexer that you're supposed to pour water through I obviously don't need to use that in my home because I have the whole house filter I can travel with it but then the main thing I use it for is when I pour a glass of wine there's an old school Tim Ferriss tactic of using a latte frother to froth any pour of wine to make it taste better to introduce oxygen Etc but what I do when I have house guests over is I pour the wine through the device and the difference in the taste between the wine that's been Vortex versus that that hasn't is absolutely staggering but is that the the only real solution that you guys have for people who don't have a whole house filter is you just pour your water through this vortexer or are there other things that you have like countertop or otherwise if people don't have a whole house option yeah like for instance where I live I don't have a whole house option um you know you can put under sinks in the under sink filtration systems in um in rentals a lot of people will use gravity feeds so they'll basically uh you know get have like a Berkey or something similar or you know we sell you know we sell actual filters that fit the Berkey and fit gravity food devices which are probably the cheapest and easiest way to go and then they'll just have a handheld vortexor so that when they pour the water the filtered water um you know out of the bottom reservoir of their gravity feed it goes in through the vortex and into their glass so you can use it kind of manually that way obviously it's an extra step but if you don't have a spot for you know uh an under sink that's a good way to go and then we have countertops that will also hook up your sink faucet just kind of grab onto your sink faucet and then you know you can run water through it that way and that actually has a Vortex or flow tube built into it oh uh with a single filter and so you're able to get it a little bit more conveniently that way but I'd say the most popular way that people you know use especially if they're like RV living or just renting and unable to put anything in or don't want to spend you know 800 bucks you spend a few hundred bucks and get a gravity feed and you know and you can Vortex the water after that so that way it's filtered and then you know it's a good idea to filter your water not just you know structuring and energizi
