Shungite Water (Shungite Water Beads)
As shown in the numerous studies below, Shungite has a beneficial effect with water on many levels. Silver is a well-documented antimicrobial, that has been shown to kill bacteria, fungi, and certain viruses. We’ve combined the benefits of both Shungite and 99.9% pure silver to create what we call our Shungite/Silver Water Beads.
Shungite/Silver Water Beads are a type of ‘energy device’ for use in your drinking water. Place them directly into your water pitcher, animal water, or other container to benefit from what’s called ‘living water’. (We recommend using a Brita water pitcher to filter your drinking water through, then simply place the Shungite Water Beads in the bottom of the pitcher.)
After placing the Shungite/Silver Water Beads into your water, you need only say the word ‘LOVE’ or feel ‘LOVE’ to charge or structure your water with living energy. Scientific studies have shown that by taking the time to ‘LOVE’ or structure your water, the water will ‘align’ for you specifically on the molecular level. If you structure or ‘LOVE’ your water, your body will absorb 90% of the water and excrete approximately 10%. Without the use of Shungite & loving your water, the numbers reverse. You’ll absorb 10% & excrete approximately 90%. Thus keeping us in a constant state of dehydration regardless of how much water we drink.

Author of “The Hidden Messages in Water”, Masaru Emoto says, “Water is a blueprint for our reality and emotional energies and vibrations can change its physical structure.”

How to test if your Shungite is genuine.
Statement & video regarding what’s called ‘Columbian Rainbow Shungite’
I heard from one of my rock/gem/crystal distributors that he was given some ‘Columbian Rainbow Shungite’ and wanted to know if I was interested. I obtained appx: 20lbs of it and began my comparison of it to the Elite Shungite originating from Russia. There were so many differences I decided to make a short video showing some of them.
When I was done testing the samples it was clear they were not ‘Shungite’ and DID NOT behave either physically, energetically or metaphysically as Shungite does.- Derek Condit

Carbonaceous Fullerene Containing Nano Mineral Shungite. Properties for Purification of Water Detoxification of Human Body.
Shungite is amorphous, uncrystallized, fullerene analogous carbon containing natural mineral. Shungite carbon is a fossilized organic material of sea bottom Precambrian sediments of high level of carbonization containing the fullerene-like regular structures. Shungite got its name after the village of Shunga in Karelia (Russian Federation), located on the shore of Onezhskoe Lake, where is located Zazhoginsky deposit. The total shungite reserves of Zazhoginsky deposit amount to approximately 35 million tons.
A Revolutionary Approach to Exposure to Lethal Doses of Radiation.
Clinical studies at the Kharkov National Medical University, Ukraine, involving fullerene water treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis of toxic origin, demonstrated a significant decrease in clinical manifestations of the disease, frequency of cytolysis syndromes, immune inflammation and liver cell deficiency. It’s suggested that fullerene water can be included in the combination treatment of liver pathology with a viral and toxic aetiology.

Review on the Antimicrobial Properties of Carbon Nanostructures.
Swift developments in nanotechnology have prominently encouraged innovative discoveries across many fields. Carbon-based nanomaterials have emerged as promising platforms for a broad range of applications due to their unique mechanical, electronic, and biological properties. Carbon nanostructures (CNSs) such as fullerene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene and diamond-like carbon (DLC) have been demonstrated to have potent broad-spectrum antibacterial activities toward pathogens.


Fullerenes: An introduction and overview of their biological properties.
Ever since their experimental discovery in 1985, fullerenes have attracted considerable attention in different fields of sciences. Investigations of chemical, physical and biological properties of fullerenes have yielded promising information. Their unique carbon cage structure coupled with immense scope for derivatization makes fullerenes a potential therapeutic agent. Henceforth various potential therapeutic applications of fullerenes have been reviewed in the present paper. These include antiHIV- protease activity, photodynamic DNA cleavage, free radical scavenger, antimicrobial action and use of fullerenes as diagnostic agents.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1996 was awarded jointly to Robert F. Curl Jr., Sir Harold W. Kroto and Richard E. Smalley “for their discovery of fullerenes.”
New forms of the element carbon – called fullerenes – in which the atoms are arranged in closed shells was discovered in 1985 by Robert F. Curl, Harold W. Kroto and Richard E. Smalley. The number of carbon atoms in the shell can vary, and for this reason numerous new carbon structures have become known. Formerly, six crystalline forms of the element carbon were known, namely two kinds of graphite, two kinds of diamond, chaoit and carbon(VI). The latter two were discovered in 1968 and 1972.


Using Shungite in Water Defluoridation by Galvanocoagulation.
Fluorine is a natural component of many sources of drinking water. An excess of fluorine in drinking water leads to metabolic disturbances in bone tissues. In this context, the International Drinking Water Quality Standards recommend adhering to a fluoride content of drinking water of no more than 1.5 mg/dm3. If this value is exceeded, water requires defluoridation. In this work, defluoridation by galvanocoagulation in a drum-type galvanocoagulator was studied.
Glyphosate adsorption on C 60 fullerene in aqueous medium for water reservoir depollution.
The indiscriminate use of pesticides has caused several damages to the environment, in particular the pollution of water reservoirs, so that this has motivated the development of techniques to minimize its consequences. One of the main surface water pollutants is glyphosate, which is a widely used herbicide for weed control. Therefore, in this work, computational simulations were used with density functional theory and molecular dynamics to theoretically verify if C60 fullerene is capable of adsorbing glyphosate in aqueous media. As a result, we showed through the adsorption energies, molecular dynamics methods, and infrared absorption that C60 can adsorb glyphosate molecules in at least three distinct configurations, either in vacuum or in water, which theoretically indicates it as a good candidate for removal of this herbicide from water by nanotechnology techniques.


A Study of the Antioxidant, Cytotoxic Activity and Adsorption Properties of Karelian Shungite by Physicochemical Methods
Abstract: This study reveals that fossil shungite samples exhibit antioxidant activity, can reduce oxidized components, and bind to free radicals. A sample of Sh20 (size fraction—20 µm) (1.30 mg equivalents of ascorbic acid/g of shungite; 3.46 mg equivalents of trolox/g of shungite; 0.99 mg equivalents of quercetin/g of shungite) had the maximal activity according to the amperometric method. The obtained data indicate that shungite has antioxidant properties.
