EZ Water — The Fourth Phase
Water exists in a fourth phase beyond solid, liquid, and gas — and this phase is the battery of life.
Discovery
Gerald Pollack’s Research
At the University of Washington, Dr. Gerald Pollack discovered that water near hydrophilic (water-loving) surfaces forms a distinct structured phase.
Key Finding
When infrared light hits water near a surface:
- Water molecules self-organize into hexagonal sheets
- This zone excludes particles and solutes
- The water becomes negatively charged (H₃O₂)
- Free protons (H⁺) accumulate outside the zone
Properties
Chemical Formula
| Phase | Formula | Charge |
|---|---|---|
| Bulk Water | H₂O | Neutral |
| EZ Water | H₃O₂ | Negative |
| Proton Zone | H⁺ | Positive |
Physical Properties
- Viscosity: Higher than bulk water
- Density: Slightly higher
- Structure: Hexagonal lattice
- Depth: Extends up to hundreds of microns from surface

Charge Separation = Stored Energy
The separation of negative EZ water from positive protons creates:
- A battery-like potential
- Available energy for biological work
- The driving force for many cellular processes
Biological Relevance
Where EZ Water Forms
| Location | Function |
|---|---|
| Cell membranes | Proton motive force |
| Mitochondria | ATP production |
| Blood vessels | Flow dynamics |
| Fascia | Body-wide energy network |
| Collagen | Structural energy storage |
In Cells
- Mitochondrial cristae — Massive surface area for EZ formation
- Cell membrane — EZ water creates the “battery” of the cell
- Cytoskeleton — Tubular structures lined with EZ
Building EZ Water
Light
| Wavelength | Effect on EZ |
|---|---|
| Infrared (>700nm) | Strongest EZ builder |
| Visible | Moderate effect |
| UV | Disrupts EZ |
Sunlight contains ~50% infrared — This is why sun exposure is so vital.
Cold
- Cold temperatures increase EZ formation
- Ice is essentially “maximum EZ”
- Cold thermogenesis builds cellular EZ
Grounding
- Earth contact may enhance EZ formation
- Negative electrons from earth support EZ charge
Disruption
What Destroys EZ Water
- Blue light at night — Wrong signal
- nnEMF — Disrupts molecular structure
- Dehydration — Not enough raw material
- High deuterium — Heavy water disrupts structure
- Chronic stress — Sympathetic dominance
Implications
For Health
-
Hydration isn’t just about quantity
- Structured water matters more than volume
- Spring water may retain structure better
-
Light is hydration
- Infrared builds EZ water
- Indoor living = chronic cellular dehydration
-
Cold builds structure
- Cold exposure increases EZ
- Explains some cold therapy benefits
For Disease
Many chronic conditions may involve EZ water dysfunction:
- Cancer (Warburg effect — mitochondrial water)
- Cardiovascular disease (blood flow, vessel lining)
- Neurodegeneration (brain water structure)
Optimization
Daily Protocol
- Morning sunlight (infrared component)
- Minimize artificial blue light
- Cold water exposure
- Grounding/earthing
- Spring/structured water intake
- Red/NIR light therapy
Environment
- Reduce nnEMF in living space
- Maximize natural light indoors
- Consider deuterium-depleted water
