Influence of Junfeng BFS Water on Microcirculation - A Clinical Study by non-invasive Measurements of the Human Eye

Dieter Eisenmann

Abstract :

Background: Junfeng BFS Water (JBW) is normal drinking water modified by means of a certain electromagnetic field. Animal studies have shown that drinking of JBW has a positive impact on microcirculation in different organ systems.

Patients and Methods: A randomized placebo-controlled double blind study was performed to examine the influence of JBW on microcirculation of the eye, functional outcome and subjective well-being. 60 patients / participants (age between 45 and 85 years) with normal eyes, chronic open angle glaucoma or dry age related macular degeneration had to drink 2 liters of JBW (JBW+) respectively normal drinking water (placebo group = JBW-) per day over a period of 2 months.

Eye examinations have been performed in both eyes at day 0, day 30 and day 60: best corrected distance visual acuity (logmar); OCT measurements of central and average retina thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness; optical nerve head rim surface and volume, optical nerve head cup/disc ratio; tonometry and ocular pulse amplitude with Ziemer Pascal contour tonometer.

Statistical analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS program. Bivariate statistics were performed using the ANOVA-test. The level of significance was a=0.05.

Results: Ocular Pulse Amplitude (OPA) which is a direct parameter for ocular blood flow was highly significantly increased (t-test) in all 3 populations (normal eyes, glaucoma, macular degeneration) as well in the overall population of JBW+ compared to JBW- after 1 month and after 2 months.

Visual acuity, Tonometry and all OCT parameters did not show any statistically significant difference (a > 0.05 in ANOVA-test).

Conclusion: Our results seem to confirm former findings that drinking of JBW has a positive influence on microcirculation since we found a significantly increased Ocular Pulse Amplitude in a population drinking JBW compared to a placebo drinking control group. If these results can be confirmed by further studies and in larger populations this could mean in ophthalmology that diseases with a reduced microcirculation as for example Normal Tension Glaucoma can be positively influenced by the drinking of JBW.
