Seacoast Christian Academy - Wellness Filter Hydration Study
In 2005/2006, Wellness Enterprises supported a study by The Results Project at the Seacoast Christian Academy, Jacksonville, Florida…a private school. The study was confined to 165 children grades 1 to 6. The focus of the study was to see if the performance of the students could be positively influenced if good nutrition and hydration was introduced to the students.
Results showed a statistically significant improvement in all seven categories monitored. What was physiologically significant was the number (88% reduction) of children that were able to stop taking mood controlling drugs like Ritalin. In addition, the overall increase in grade point average was considered impressive by the school faculty.

 Texas A & M Time Lapse Gladiolus Study -
In 2005, Dr. Dwayne A.
Suter, Professor Emeritus at Texas A & M University, conducted a
comparative analysis on the effect of using Wellness Enhanced water
versus filtered and tap water to grow gladiolus bulbs. The results were
substantial, and the study was replicated in 2006 comparing Wellness
Enhanced water to additional filtered and enhanced waters. To emphasize
the difference of our water, Wellness took time-lapse photographs throughout
the study and have compiled a video demonstrating the growth of each
bulb.

Idaho
Dairy Study - An independent
dairy study was conducted over a 10-month period in Idaho using a
3000-head dairy farm. The dairy cows, which had been monitored carefully
for production and health for several years, were switched from normal
well water to well water treated by a special agricultural version of the
Wellness Filter®.
The water
was not purified but only enhanced using Wellness’ proprietary
technology. The daily milk production was monitored as was the
somatic cell count in the milk (an indication of the general health of
the cow - i.e., the higher the count the more infection the cow has).
After the study was concluded, the herd's average daily milk production
was seen to increase from 72 lbs/cow/day to 78 lbs/cow/day - a dramatic
8.3% increase. The somatic cell count also dropped from an average of 200,000 cells/cc
to approximately 100,000 cells/cc - a very dramatic 50% reduction. See
figure to the right. This study was repeated on four other dairies over a two
year period with similar results.

Potato Study - Potatoes in the US
are generally harvested in September and October and stored in
large enclosed buildings or bunkers. The potatoes are kept in
the dark with their original dirt still on the skin and they are
ventilated with 100% humidity air. The potatoes continue to live
throughout the winter and spring and are extracted and delivered
to the market as market needs require. Because of the highly
moist and dark conditions, such potato facilities suffer high
loses (12% to 25%) in potatoes due to mold, rot and fungus. A
two-year study was conducted during which Wellness Filtered
water was used to replace the well water that was normally
sprayed into the ventilation system of a large potato storage
facility (containing 12.5 million Idaho potatoes). A
controlled facility of similar size was tested with ordinary well water
immediately next to the test facility.
Prior to the
introduction of a special agricultural version of Wellness Filter®
water, the fungal spore count in the facility was around 600,000
active spore counts/cubic foot. Two weeks after changing the
source water to Wellness Filter Water, the count dropped 4,000
counts/cubic foot.. a 99.3% reduction. After one full year of
monitoring and counting every damaged potato, the special
Wellness system (marketed under the name of Agripurifier) was observed
to reduce the fungal losses to less then 4% -- a significant drop.
The losses in the controlled facility
adjacent to the test facility were 20%.Click
