Our universe is composed of millions of
compounds, all derived from just 106
atoms. Of these elements, hydrogen is the first
and most fundamental.
Hydrogen is also the most abundant element,
comprising 90% of all atoms in the cosmos. In
our sun and stars, hydrogen nuclei fuse to produce helium, the second element. This generates the enormous energy that powers life on
earth. And just as hydrogen fuels the sun, so, in
the human body, it is the essential factor in the
electrochemical process that produces ATP, the
energy molecule. Virtually all the millions of biochemical processes that
occur every second of our lives are powered by ATP.
These facts are well established. But they are so
basic that, until now, they have been overlooked in the world of nutritional science.
It took the dedicated research of Dr. Patrick Flanagan to harness the power of
active hydrogen for health and human development.
The Creation of
Mega Hä
For 30 years Dr. Patrick Flanagan's life work
has been to discover the health and longevity secrets of the Hunza people of the
Himalayas. It is believed a much greater percentage of people there live past the age of
100 with far less of the diseases that ravage
the West. The locals claimed that
their secret was the cloudy, mineral-rich
water that rushes down from the
Himalayan glaciers.
In studying the properties of this Hunza
water, Dr. Flanagan found that silica crystals
dissolved in the water were able to hold negatively charged hydrogen ions (H–). These
compounds are technically called silica
hydrides. This makes Hunza water a
power source, filled with the same active
H– that powers the human body.
 Typically, hydrogen has one positively
charged proton in the nucleus and one negatively charged electron orbiting the nucleus. The two opposite charges balance each
other, resulting in no charge. Active hydrogen, on the other hand, contains two
electrons orbiting the nucleus, creating a negative charge. It is this active hydrogen in its
charged form that the body needs to carry
out its crucial functions. Dr. Flanagan has
recreated this silica hydride compound as MEGA Hä.
Each 300 mg of silica
hydride contains approximately 48 milligrams of active hydrogen or H minus
(H–) ions.
Cellular Energy: ATP,
Hydrogen and Mega Hä
ATP, adenosine triphosphate, is composed
of three phosphates. The breaking of the bond between the second and third phosphates releases the energy to power
virtually all cellular processes. Amazingly, we all generate enough
metabolic energy to produce our own body weight in ATP every day just to
function! Every second, each of our approximately 50 trillion cells
consumes and regenerates 10 million molecules of ATP.
This massive energy generation (ATP production) is the fundamental core function
of every human cell. Without it, basic activities such as cellular repair, and protein,
enzyme, hormone and neurotransmitter
synthesis would not occur. DNA repair and
cell reproduction would cease. Thoughts,
feelings, communication, and our ability to
experience the world through our senses
and change it through our actions would
stop. The negative implication of poor energy generation for our health and vitality levels is significant. Many factors such as aging,
poor nutrition and pollution can impede
this critical energy generation.
Negatively charged electrons from hydrogen are the source of the energy needed to
generate this staggering amount of ATP. This energy production takes place in the
mitochondria of the cells at the final stage of
the Krebs Cycle, called the electron transport chain. Typically, the hydrogen comes
from the breakdown of carbohydrates from
food, which yields hydrogen as well as carbon and oxygen. But MEGA Hä is an
alternative, electron-rich source of hydrogen
to power energy generation. In fact,
MEGA Hä has been shown to double
the production of ATP and NADH,
according to in vitro studies. (NADH is
the coenzyme form of vitamin B-3, niacin,
that carries hydrogen to the production
site of ATP.)
If this alone were all that MEGA Hä
H–
could accomplish, it would be the most significant nutritional compound yet discovered.
Its properties, however, go far beyond energy generation. It is the body's most efficient
and effective antioxidant. MEGA Hä
also increases cellular hydration and the
uptake of nutrients into each cell by lowering the surface tension of water (making
water "wetter"). In addition, it can improve athletic
performance by lowering lactic acid levels
after strenuous workouts.
Aging and Antioxidant
Defense
Energy Decline: As we age, there is
a decrease in our bodies' ability to
generate cellular energy – and
oxidative damage may be a primary factor. Many scientists now accept the
theory of aging first proposed by noted scientist
Denham Harman, M.D.,
Ph.D., who argued that
"aging changes are
induced by free radical reactions,
largely initiated by the mitochondria ...the rate of damage
to the mitochondria determines
our life span."
Why is this? While oxygen is necessary for human life, the very act
of breathing generates free radicals.
Our mitochondria -tiny energy
production plants- are the chief
source of oxidants produced in our
bodies. It is believed these oxidants
damage the mitochondria in which
they are produced, including the
inner mitochondrial membrane
which is the site of ATP production. This
would seriously impair the ability of mitochondria to meet cellular energy demands. The result: signs of
portal aging such as
impaired memory, hearing, vision
and stamina.
DNA Damage: Oxidants also can damage
the cell's DNA. Hydroxyl radicals cause
DNA strands to break; if breaks occur in
both strands of DNA, the cell cannot repair
the damage and will die.
Normally, the body has mechanisms to correct or remove damaged cells. However, as
we age and cellular energy production
declines, the ability to correct these errors is
significantly reduced. Left unrepaired,
DNA errors may be passed on when cells
divide. Over time, these errors can silently accumulate, leading to
cellular changes that go unnoticed until body system imbalances become evident.
World's Most Elemental
Antioxidant
MEGA Hä may be the world's most
powerful antioxidant. It is possible to measure the Oxidation Reduction Potential
(ORP) of any compound. This rating,
which measures the number of electrons
present in relation to protons, ranges from
(plus) + 1,200 to (minus) -800 millivolts;
the stronger an antioxidant is, the closer its
ORP would be to -800. The more positive
the ORP reading, the fewer the number of
available electrons from active hydrogen.
In chemistry, active hydrogen is defined as
hydrogen with an extra electron, also
known as the hydrogen anion, negative
hydrogen or
H–. The strongest natural
antioxidants up until now, such as grape
seed and green tea, have ORP's of -100.

MEGA Hä has an ORP of -778 millivolts, as compared to distilled water,
making it the most potent natural antioxidant available today.
What's more, MEGA Hä is in a class by
itself, compared to other antioxidants, due
to its electrochemical structure. Free radicals -unstable molecules that are missing
one or more electrons- damage cells by taking electrons from healthy molecules to
balance themselves.
When other antioxidants donate electrons
to quench free radicals, they in turn become
reactive free radicals and require electrons
from other antioxidants to become stable.
The new antioxidant also requires an electron to return to stability. This
process continues, resulting in an inefficient and energy-consuming free radical cascade.
But MEGA H's negatively charged
hydrogen molecule possesses two electrons
instead of the typical one. This extra electron can be donated without generating the
inefficient fee radical cascade. Dr. Flanagan's
profound contribution was his discovery of
a method for stabilizing and delivering
negatively charged hydrogen (H–).
Unlike
taking other antioxidants, supplementing
with MEGA Hä provides a net gain
of free radical-quenching electrons into
the system.
Additional Health Benefits
MEGA Hä has been the subject of
additional positive research:
Increases Cellular Hydration: Water is
important to cells, interstitial fluids (surrounding joints, muscles and organs), and
the matrix of blood. As the body's primary
fluid, water serves as a solvent for nutrients.
Since water is used to carry nutrients into
the cell, it is theorized that increased cellular hydration also increases the bioavailability of nutrients. Water also eliminates toxins
and waste products from the body. From
energy production to joint lubrication, all
our systems depend on water. It has been
theorized that aging results in
cell dehydration.
A study done by Gary Osborn and H.
Salinas, M.D. of the Texas Institute of
Functional Medicines suggests that silica
hydride supplements like MEGA Hä
increase intracellular, extracellular and total
body water levels. It is theorized that they work
by decreasing water's surface tension, which
allows water and nutrients to more easily
enter cells and become available for use by
the body.
Assists In Exercise Recovery: During
strenuous exercise, the oxygen supply to
muscle cells is insufficient to meet energy
demands. Muscle cells then turn to anaerobic respiration to continue to generate
energy. This creates lactic acid, which diffuses into the blood, causing muscle
fatigue, soreness, and loss of endurance. A
placebo-controlled study on six healthy
males showed that blood lactate levels significantly decreased after exercise when silica hydride supplements were taken for one
week before an exercise trial.
The Scientist Behind
Mega Hä
 This revolutionary approach to nutrition
and health is the brain child of
Dr. Patrick Flanagan. Dr. Flanagan was a
child prodigy with an intense interest in
electronics, biochemistry, and physics. At the age of 12, he
invented a guided missile and
atom bomb
detector. This
technology was
subsequently
adopted for use
by the U.S. government. At 14
he developed the Neurophoneâ. This device
transmits acoustic information to the brain
by means of radio waves into the skin,
bypassing the eighth cranial nerve, and may
allow some deaf people to hear. By the age
of 18, he was named one of the Top Ten
most promising young scientists in America
by Life Magazine.
Dr. Flanagan's work with MEGA Hä
has its roots in his collaboration with Dr.
Henri Coanda, a respected scientist who
died in 1972. Dr. Coanda passed along his
investigation into Hunza water to Dr.
Flanagan. MEGA Hä is the culmination
of decades of research to bring the energizing and anti-aging benefits of active
hydrogen (H–) to the world.
Dr. Flanagan's Mega Hä
is identical to his Microhydrin® but is marketed conventionally whereas
Microhydrin® is sold via multi-level marketing.
