Abstract

Previously, it was shown that positively charged water is able to hydrate both salts and biopolymers, while negatively charged water is not able to hydrate them. Reflections on the biological significance of this dependence made it possible to assume that cells are able to accumulate predominantly positively charged water and that it is this accumulation that stimulates both cell proliferation and the growth of tumors, including cancers; accordingly, it was proposed to use negatively charged water to stop both cell division and tumor growth. Over time, it became clear that this hypothesis was proposed without taking into account the peculiarities of the interaction of electrified waters with fats. This understanding initiated additional research, which proved to be very productive. In particular, such studies made it possible to establish that positively charged water is attracted to oils and is able to form stable emulsions with them, in contrast to negatively charged water, which does not interact with oils and does not form stable emulsions with them. Thus, the discovered shortcoming of the proposed hypothesis was eliminated. This, in turn, gave additional grounds for re-proposing negatively charged water as an antitumor agent.
