the Santevia Enhanced Water System

Inspired by Nature

Filter & re-vitalize your tap water utilizing elements of Earth's basic filtration process of the natural water cycle...and no power needed.

CLEANS, MINERALIZES and INVIGORATES - You know the taste of fresh spring water directly from a stream? The Santevia Water Process brings clear, fresh mountain taste to every glass of water...and with a healthy pH! The water is purified by natural ceramics, infused with essential minerals and invigorated by magnetics. If the power goes out you still are able to drink purified water as no power is required with the Santevia. The main 5-stage filter last for 6 months. The ceramic filter lasts for 1-2 years. The mineral infusion stones last up to 5 years.

The pH of Vancouver tap water ranges from 6.2-6.8.

Santevia consistently raises the pH to 7.2-7.6 - the pH of a mountain stream or artesian well water. The system adjusts the pH level to mildly alkaline. A proper body pH is on the scale between alkaline and acidity at 6.9 to 7.2. This pH creates an environment which deters bacteria, inflammation and disease. Alkaline water of 7.2-8.0 pH, is the best pH for the human body to compensate for the acidic environment that results from stress & what we consume.

Water sustains our lives. The qualities and the properties of the water we drink can determine the quality of our health.

Approximately 70-80% of our body is water. It helps our kidneys and bladder to function in cleaning toxins out of our systems. Water helps to regulate our body temperature, aids in the in the digestive process and makes all necessary bodily fluids. Water is the most important substance we can take in because it covers so many different functions.

Check out this NEW efficient & inexpensive way towards crystal clean, pH balanced drinking water. More than a water filter, the Santevia™ Water Process adjusts water’s pH to mildly alkaline by reintroducing minerals that promote ionization & oxygenation, helping your body maintain its active equilibrium. Santevia transforms ordinary tap water into clean, clear mineralized drinking water, using Japanese technology.

All products are made from sustainable, renewable, or recyclable materials.

Dr. Jeffrey Thompson Mind System CDs

The Healer Within - The Healing Mind State
There is a particular state of consciousness that is most conducive to recuperation, relaxation, and revitalization. While in this state your metabolism slows down, and your body’s resources are directed to relax, heal, and rebuild. Brain mapping research and Dr. Thompson’s own experience with patients over many years has shown that this restorative state – the Healing Mind State – is associated with a very specific pattern of brainwave activity & brainwave pacing. The foundation of his sound healing practice is utilizing specific music and sounds processed with “brainwave entrainment” frequencies to help patients harness the therapeutic effects of this healing mind state. Listen to these audio programs with headphones or stereo speakers for the benefits noted. These musical tracks contain neither spoken words nor subliminal messages.

Alpha Relaxation System -
This CD is for Active Alpha Relaxation. As such, this is a great CD to play in the background while working, studying, or doing any activity. This CD enhances your ability to create a lighter Alpha state: focused and balanced. Everyone finds benefit in using this Alpha Relaxation System, but those who tend to be anxious or even have addictive type behaviors or tendencies especially find solace in this audio program.

Healing Mind System 01 -
Healing comes from within. If you guide your mind to an optimal place, your body will be able to more freely draw on its natural source of healing and rejuvenation. Persons will benefit most when listening to the CDs with headphones while resting, exercising or doing Yoga.

Theta Meditation System -
It is widely accepted that meditation can result in reduced stress, greater health and a sense of calmness and balance. Studies show that in states of meditation we produce a greater quantity of slow frequency Theta brainwaves. Pulses of sound embedded in this musical soundtrack activate your own Theta brainwaves and lead you easily into restful and rejuvenating meditation. It is easy to use and is best listened to with headphones while sitting is a meditation posture, which is a posture which is comfortable and the spine is straight. Experienced meditators use this soundtrack to deepen and enhance their meditative practice.

Delta Sleep System
has been used with great benefit for those stressed with seemingly too many responsibilities and/or those greatly affected by the energies around them and the demands placed upon them by family, job, finances, etc. It is great to use to go to sleep and even great to use to stay asleep. If a habit of wakening during the night is a challenge, then this person would do well by placing the audio program on repeat, gradually enhancing the ability to change this habit and enjoy more quality of sleep. It is safe and effective for the very young and for the most mature, frail individual. It is equally safe for all those who are between those two stages of life. By enhancing one’s ability to sleep and receive quality, restorative sleep, this program has saved many, many lives.

Dr. Jeffrey Thompson's pioneering work with thousands of patients and volunteers has led to groundbreaking discoveries in how sound frequency patterns built into musical soundtracks induce brainwave entrainment. Experience Dr. Thompson’s beautiful and soothing musical compositions, coupled with his 3-D sounds of nature and brainwave pacing unique to his work, making it extremely smooth and effective. These audio programs are based on 15+ years of Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, DC, BFA's pioneering clinical research at the time of its creation.

reduce your carbon footprint

Here are a few tips:

Downsize your consumption.

Lower your thermostat by 1-2C in the winter and further (down to 17C) when you go to bed at night. Raise your air conditioning setting by 1-2C in the summer. Lower the setting on the water heater from 82C to 65C (180F to 150F).

Wash clothes in cold water. Hang to dry.

Turn off the water when brushing teeth & shampooing hair.

Try wearing clothes twice before washing.

Switch to recycled, unbleached paper products, better yet use cloth.

Turn off any lights, TV, stereo or computer when they are not in use.

Recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags & paper. Read your paper on-line.

Try to buy local foods to reduce fuel emissions and energy transporting the food to the store.

Use re-usable cloth bags to carry the groceries.

Adopt a vegetarian diet to: be kind to other living beings; reduce production of methane gas; de-forestation of forests for cattle pastures; avoid food and water consumption by the range animals, rather than by people; avoid excessive energy & fuel consumption.

Note that the production of beef, pork, lamb and poultry requires more natural resources than the production of the equivalent in grains and vegetables. Choose efficiently produced foods.

Eat Organic. Organic foods are grown with less pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers.

Grow your own vegetables.

Move to a smaller town where you an grow your own vegetables.

Reduce Paper consumption by printing and photocopying on both sides of the paper. Buy recycled photocopy paper.

Choose energy efficient computers, photocopiers and printers. Turn equipment off when not in use; use a power strip.

Take the public transit. David Suzuki foundation quotes: "each year a single city bus can save 10,646 litres of fuel, reduce annual greenhouse gases emissions by 25 tons and replace the need of 40 vehicles on the road."

Carpool, bicycle and walk wherever possible. "transportation accounts for almost half of toxic air pollution, more than third of greenhouse asses emissions, a quarter of common air pollution and almost one-fifth of toxic water pollution.
