“…This review focuses on the bioenergetics theory that BSW water acts as a "living matrix" which is the biological phenomena underlying consciousness and coherence. The premise of this "living matrix' theory is that BSW water covers all cell and organelle membranes, constituting a continuous crystalline matrix whose network extends to every cell in an organism [81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89]. This ubiquitous matrix has liquid crystalline properties with the role of media and medium for many significant biological activities [90][91][92][93][94].…”

Natural water sources become partially structured when exposed to cold temperatures, aeration, and sunlight in high mountain streams or kosmotropic ions. Drinking water devices that make structured water utilize methods such as resonance, vortex designs, and static magnets to alter H-bond configurations in liquid water. Other methods, such as the Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) or vortexing, utilize energy or mechanical methods that are strong enough to break the covalent bonds in liquid water. After water splits into hydronium ions (H30+) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH), these molecular species rapidly reform back into SW water with stable H-bonds. Several companies offer AOP water generators for the remediation of wastewater, industrial water treatment, hydroponic, and agricultural uses. Other companies offer vortex generators for SW drinking water for households and institutions. The final section summarizes the interconnectivity and synchronization between BSW water, bioenergetics, consciousness, and quantum coherence. The continuous layer of BSW water within all cells and covering all biological membranes allows it to capture, store, resonate, amplify, and transmit a wide spectrum of EMF energy that forms the basis of bioenergetics. Application of quantum biology principles to BSW water opens promising research fields potent with solutions to enhance human health and longevity. Other SW and BSW water research areas potentially include environmental and wastewater treatment, medical treatments for age-related diseases, energy generation, and possibly even manipulation of rainfall patterns.

The membrane dipole potential that arises from the interfacial water and constitutive dipolar groups of lipid molecules modulates the interaction of amphiphiles and proteins with membranes. Consequently, its determination for lipid mixtures resembling the existing diversity in biological membranes is very relevant. In this work, the dipole potentials of monolayers, formed at the air–water interface, from pure or mixed lipids (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (POPE), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidyserine (POPS), sphingomyelin (SpM) and cholesterol) were measured and correlated with the mean area per lipid. The results showed that, as previously observed, cholesterol increases the dipole potential in correspondence with the decrease in the average area per lipid. At the small mole fractions encountered in biomembranes, the presence of the negatively charged lipid POPS increases the dipole potentials of monolayers despite inducing an increase in the average area per lipid. Additionally, the inclusion of POPE in POPC:cholesterol monolayers disrupts the area condensation induced by cholesterol while increasing the membrane dipole moment, leading to a small reduction in the dipole potential. This trend is reinforced for the quaternary POPC:cholesterol:POPE:POPS 4:3:2:1 system, which mimics the inner leaflets of eukaryotic plasma membranes. In agreement with previous works, the replacement of phosphocholine lipids with sphingomyelin leads to a decrease in the dipole potential. Together, this results in a lower dipole potential for the SpM-enriched outer leaflet, generating a non-zero transbilayer dipole potential in the asymmetric plasma membranes of eukaryotic cells.
