“Water is actually at the center of all biological activity. It’s not peripheral, it’s absolutely central.”
“If you have a minor lack of EZ water, you have dysfunction. If you have a major lack of EZ water, you have pathology. If you have a serious loss of EZ water, it’s cancer.” — Dr. Gerald Pollack
Most biology textbook assume that the water in our body serves a background function in health. Water is discussed as a solvent in which DNA, proteins, and other organelles float around.
But what if a large portion of the energy in our body is coming from the water in our cells? And what if a disturbance to the structure of this water in our body can cause cancer and other diseases?
Dr. Gerald Pollack is a Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington, and is one of the few brilliant minds studying the importance of water in our cells. He says that water is not the background. It is doing the work. Water is a battery that is providing us energy.
Dr. Pollack also rejects the idea that the water in our cells is the same liquid water we drink. He says the water inside of us is more like a gel, think jelly-like. Pollack calls this “EZ water” or “Exclusion-Zone water”. Some others call it Structured Water.
The most important point he makes is that all healthy cells have this EZ Water. A lack of EZ water is a hallmark of disease, including cancer. This is why cancer cells have a low electrical potential, it’s the lack of this negatively charged EZ water that causes it.
If he is right, the question to ask is, how do we maintain and build EZ Water in our cells? Dr. Pollack goes into many free tips on how to do so in the podcast. In particular, we discuss the impact of sunlight, grounding, magnets, sauna, deuterium-depleted water, and more on the EZ Water in our cells.
“If you can implement procedures that build EZ water, you ought to be able to reverse the cancer.” — Dr. Gerald Pollack
What we discuss in this episode:
How 99% of the molecules in our body are water molecules, and how water is not just a background solvent.
What EZ water is, and how it gives us energy.
The role of infrared light and sunlight on water in our cells.
Why every cancer cell is dehydrated.
What builds EZ water: sun, sauna, red light, grounding, juicing, deuterium depleted water, turmeric, holy basil and ghee.
The effect of Hyperbaric oxygen, PEMF and magnets on EZ water.
The link between dementia, other diseases, and EZ water.

These are the parts where Dr. Pollack takes on foundational assumptions in biology, and explains what he thinks is wrong with them. Each is a separate short video on the below that I’m releasing only for premium subscribers.
Where Pollack agrees and disagrees with Gilbert Ling: Ling spent a lifetime proving water in cells is ordered, but Pollack says he missed the two things that matter most, and one of them his own lab found by accident.
Why he doesn’t think the conventional view of membrane pumps and ion channels is correct.
What he thinks is the real role of the cell membrane.
