EP 81: Is Your Tap Water Making You Sick The Truth About Hydrogen Water with Paula Silveira

SPEAKER_00 0:03

Welcome back to Not Alone with Melissa Su. Today I'm recording for BeautifulChan in France for the premiere of She Healed. And I've had incredible guests so far, a full day of lineup. And today I'm excited to have Paula at the Silvera. Am I pronouncing it correctly? You say it with a much more beautiful active mind. Where's your background? Um, I'm originally from Brazil. I was gonna say Brazil, but I don't like to, you know, assume, but it sounded you look very Brazilian, beautiful, and uh the name as well. Well, welcome. Thank you. I'd love to get to know you and and uh why you're here and and what you're all about. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 0:46

Well, um, emerging from Brazil, like I said. Um, I've been in the United States for over 20 years now, so uh more American than Brazilian a little bit, but we mix everything. Um the reason why I'm here, we do hydrogen water.

SPEAKER_00 1:03

Um my gosh, I literally I saw you're putting a little tablet in the fifth episode. I don't know how many five, maybe fifth episode in a row. And I'm like, wait, I'm a huge fan. I've I was told you're gonna take away the bubbles. And so here I am having my hydrogen, and actually, yesterday I have the hydrogen tablets for a bath. So because I flew in, you know, all the way from uh Arizona yesterday, and I knew to nervous system reset uh had a bath. I put my son did too, and so you put this amazing. Okay, well, let me have a toast. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 1:39

To have a sip, so you're ready to go. I saw you you pop one in there, and I was like, oh, she knows what's good. Oh, I sure do. I'm a big fan, yeah. Uh so hydrogen water is our bread and butter. Um, we started with that. My husband actually had um he had a metabolic problem um that he was diagnosed with, and that's how we started in the water. He was told he had to do all these different types of surgeries and and go to all these doctors, and it was crazy. And we met a Cuban doctor that said you need to change your environment, and it starts with the water. Um, and that's how he was introduced into at first alkaline water, but then did a lot of studies on hydrogen water and like really learned like about eight years ago that that was the best water for the human body. Um, so we opened a store in Coral Gables, um Florida, uh, just for water. Along the way, because it got such into a wellness division, you know, the water because everything starts with water, um, we are opening now a showroom. So it's a wellness showroom to bring longevity to people's homes. So you can go there, you can experience it, and then you can have it at your house.

SPEAKER_00 2:55

Okay, so what you can change, and it all starts with water. It's so funny that you say that because two weeks before I moved here, I had just uh random checks in my hot water tanks and water softener, things like that. So they come in, they do all the work, and they test the waters and yeah, high in chlorine, it's really hard water in in Arizona. And I said, I know too well that in water we can't test half the things like heavy metals and parasites, and I are drinking water. We are made of water and we bathe in it. So I got everything changed. I mean, it costs a lot of money, but we it's our health. Yeah, it's wealth and what it still starts with what we consume water, right? It's so important. So your showroom is it only based on water, or do you have other things like as far as um uh other things for to make your home healthier? To make your home like we have about everything.

SPEAKER_01 3:48

So we start with like circadium lights, so you know you can start adjusting it that way. Um, we have red light therapy, we have the hydrogen bath, everything hydrogen we have. So the bath, like inhalation, goggles, the water, obviously, um the oxygen chamber, sauna, cold plunge. So everything that you can make it your house like a wellness home.

SPEAKER_00 4:11

Oh, that's what I'm trying to do. Actually, so far I have a sonal infrared sauna, I have red light panel, I now have the PMF like mat, you know, we're gonna have that. And my next one actually, I would love a hyperbaric oxygen shaver. I'm a big fan of that, you know, though it's a usually pretty big cold plunge. Well, right now I don't have one, but we cold plunge either. Cold showers, yeah. And but one thing that have gotten into do you get into the mold, like uh securing your house from uh mold exposure?

SPEAKER_01 4:44

We do eye purifiers too, um, that you know it will clean pretty much the the air on your entire home.

SPEAKER_00 4:51

Yeah, I have uh, you know, the songs, I think. I have those in each room to purify that will help, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:57

So I mean, what once you start getting into it, you see that there's so many things you can do from your home to just be on that environment, right? Like people want to live longer, but they want to live a healthier life, not just get super old but not be able to do it.

SPEAKER_00 5:13

I know, I would say like what do you want? How do you want to live your next 10 years? Exactly. An oxygen tank and you know, uh aches and pain. No, you want vitality, you want to enjoy it. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 5:24

So that that's the goal. If you change your environment, not you know, not just the water or not just supplements, but all together your entire environment, that's how you're gonna see the all starts.

SPEAKER_00 5:35

We spend so much time in our homes, so you gotta create it that's why my home will be so safe now. Absolutely, as much as I can, and it's baby step. People might think, wow, that's a lot. Okay, I gotta start. It becomes overwhelming. I would say start with water, don't you think? Yeah. I mean, something you drink, you bathe in on every day. It's the base of everything. Yeah, it's the base to kind of start investing in that because we really don't know what's in our water, but more that I've dove into, I've had the worm queen on, she talks all about parasites. I've had uh lots of different guests where uh, you know, the actually in Alaska, I lived at 16 years in Alaska and we were on a well, and our well water had arsenic in it. And so these heavy metals, uh, I my last guest, he's out of Montreal, and we talked about EMF, and he said water in Montreal is heavy in lead. Yeah. So imagine the impact over time, but those are things that we don't see. So it's so important to bring out that awareness. And for you, was you know, your husband's story, you know, that he got really ill and was environmental toxins? Like, was it like um heavy metals? Like, what was it?

SPEAKER_01 6:47

I know usually this is no exactly what it was, but once we did what the doctor suggested, well, like start with the water, and we start changing the environment, it went away.

SPEAKER_00 6:58

Yeah, water and the diet, you know, your foods and and what you're breathing in on a daily basis was a little bit for us. We got into environmental factors of mold and affecting my kids, and so that's why I dove into checking the HVAC. If there's any leaks and they added air purifiers, air purifiers.

SPEAKER_01 7:17

It's funny you talked about the well water because sometimes people think because they're like just digging, you know, like all the way down and getting the well water, um, it's gonna be clean, and unfortunately, it's not true anymore. Um, we had we rented a house before um we got our home, and they were using well water to wash their clothes. So when we first moved in, it destroyed our clothes, it was all like stained, and then started getting like little holes on it, and that's when how we found out that it was well water. And I was thinking, if if the water did that to our clothes, imagine if you're bathing in it and you know, drinking that water, like what is doing.

SPEAKER_00 7:59

Yeah, to all your organs. Yeah, it's those slow increments, you know. People just like, oh, it's okay, it's okay. But no, 10 years down the road, all of a sudden the the chronic fatigue, yeah, the hair loss, the you know, because all of these environmental factors will affect your hormones too, and the stress markers, so it's a ripple effect. So start now, start small, incorporating these. And I truly believe hydrogen water too is uh the next best I want a machine now in the house. So do you sell those? Like, what are you doing? Because some people sh sell the water bottles, the individual. I have the tablet so it's easy to travel with, right? But at home, what do you recommend?

SPEAKER_01 8:39

So we we at our system is for the home. So we do a full house system to clean your house to the for to clean your water for the entire house. So like you're showering in clean water, you're cooking with clean water, everything is clean, right? You're like brushing your teeth because a lot of people start losing their hair, and that's the chlorine in the water. They think it's just with age or hormones, and yes, it can help, but it's mostly the chlorine in the water, especially in South Florida.

SPEAKER_00 9:07

Okay, the chlorine is like oh, Arizona, they tested my water just three weeks ago. It was so high in chlorine. I'm like, well, no wonder, you know.

SPEAKER_01 9:14

There's some houses we test the pool water and the tap water, and the tap water has more chlorine than the pool. Wow. So you're getting out of the pool and you're like, I'm gonna shower, take off the chlorine, but all you're doing is just putting more chlorine into your body.

SPEAKER_00 9:28

Wow, that's sad, right? Yeah, that's sad, and so important for us to be aware as we probably, especially in the US, we trust our water so much, you know, compared when we travel. Oh, don't drink the water, or don't brush your teeth with the water. But we should be doing that.

SPEAKER_01 9:43

That at home at home too. So we do it's like tanks outside of the home that clean the water for the whole house. And then under the sink, we put the hydrogen system. Oh, okay. I want some of those. Yeah, that goes there because then you can wash your vegetables with hydrogen water, your coffee, you should be cooking with that water. Um, so you use more like the tablets are great when you're out, when you and obviously, if you take it from your home and you're working like outside all day, it will dissipate the hydrogen. So the tablets are great for that. You just you know, add it and get some like another shot of hydrogen in it.

SPEAKER_00 10:17

Yeah, because when I put the tablet, so how long do I have to drink it to have the full benefits?

SPEAKER_01 10:22

It really depends on where it's holding it. Like if you have usually the the tumblers that are um the insulated ones, it will last a lot longer. Like you probably go through the day. If you're wearing like a glass or plastic, it will dissipate pretty drink more. I'll say like in two hours. Oh, two hours, we're good. Yeah, you have some time. We're good, we're good. It will dissipate a lot faster. Um, but that's why it's nice to have the system because you open, you drink it, and it it's right there, and then the tablets are great. We do a lot of the tablets with our system. We do the H2 tabs.

SPEAKER_00 10:57

Okay, yeah, that's what I have.

SPEAKER_01 10:59

Yeah, so we do that with our system. Um, because I I don't know if I mentioned we just partnered up with Gary Breca for that system, too. Okay, no, no, I didn't know. So he used our system for about a year, um, loved it, so decided to partner up together. So we created an even better system from there. Um, so you use the system at your home, and then you have the H2 tabs for on the go, you know.

SPEAKER_00 11:24

Okay, I want the system in my home. So I live in Arizona, you're in Florida, and how's that work? We do it all over the USA. Yeah. Okay, I'm serious. I that was my next step to help you. Yeah, no, you and you will love it.

SPEAKER_01 11:38

Once you start drinking uh coffee with clean water, like you you taste the difference on your coffee.

SPEAKER_00 11:44

On your coffee, wow. Wow, that's incredible. And I know the benefits. I even coffee, I've changed all of that as far as like mold-free and and you know, with minerals and the way I cook, you know, make my uh coffee as well. I I have changed, you know, it's those increments, right? But make your environment so safe. And because it does add up and you start feeling so much better, you know, compared to even when I was late 30s to where I'm now, I actually have more energy now at 45 than I did at 35. But the toxic load. Are you right? Yeah, and so and it's so many of my friends and moms that I hear, they're like, Wow, this the kids are young, or maybe it's perimenopause. I'm like, no, no, you don't have to.

SPEAKER_01 12:27

You don't have to out there's so many women that I talk to that I'm like they always blame everything on their hormones, and I'm like, you're right, but it's because there's so many things affecting your hormones right now, and that's why you feel so awful. Because I I started having signs of like perimenopause when I was on my 30s, and that's when I that the same time we start changing our environment, and you know, all of those things, and it went away as I changed like the water, you know, what we're eating, like everything, all of our environment, right? Um, it all went away.

SPEAKER_00 13:04

And it went away for your husband as well. You're both very healthy.

SPEAKER_01 13:08

I have so much energy, like I don't feel any of those symptoms anymore. Um, and so I think a lot of those things, you know, people would just blame it on the hormones, but the hormones are being affected by by all the toxins that we have around us.

SPEAKER_00 13:24

And now is there a difference? I know there's different companies with for hydrogen and whatnot, and it might not be is it would it be the same source or the quality?

SPEAKER_01 13:33

So most companies would really differentiate us from other companies is most companies create hydrogen by electrolysis. So it's you know, that's how they they do it. The way we do it is the same way that um H2 tabs that you have, it's by for with magnesium. So it's all natural, there's no electrolysis, it just passes through all these minerals and creates the hydrogen in contact with the magnesium. That's the biggest difference.

SPEAKER_00 14:01

Okay, that's what I've heard that you have to be mindful and who to trust, and so now no one can trust you. Yeah, I like that. I like that, I like that. That's why I love coming to these events. You're aligned, you find the resources, and now I could be that resource for others, and that's why I have this podcast. So, because it's could be hard to find sometimes. And because I know I've gone just like your husband, you go to doctors and doctors and doctors, and nothing wrong, but it's just it's you're not gonna be you're gonna be told, well, maybe take more ibuprofen or maybe take this, but you're not getting to that root cause. So bring awareness now that hydrogen water, our water is so toxic at home. I've got mine tested, but even all the tests won't find the parasites in there, it's not gonna find some of the other heavy metals that are so many heavy metals. Yes, so many heavy metals. So I just don't hydrogen.

SPEAKER_01 14:53

They found a lot of birth control in the water too.

SPEAKER_00 14:55

In birth control? Wow, which is wow, part of why it affects so many people's yes, the younger kids, right? Young girls, young kids, men, right? Oh, so yes, I think that's actually I had told my financial advisor, I'm like, we need stocks in hydrogen. Because I truly feel that's the next one. Yeah, because it is. Everybody needs hydrogen.

unknown 15:21

True.

SPEAKER_01 15:22

That's how I feel about it, actually. It is, and once it I always tell people because they you know, I actually somebody asked me today, they're like, I had a uh glass of hydrogen water, but I didn't feel anything. Um, and you're not going to, right? You will you will taste that the water's clean, um especially if you're used to drinking tap water, you feel like a little different, but you're not gonna see the benefits right away. It's something that you continuously do, yeah, accumulative, right? And it starts changing like the the water in your body, and yeah, the skin too, skin health, your gut health.

SPEAKER_00 15:56

Actually, I I make my son and my kids drink it every morning, they're here with me today, and and yeah, they know part of that process, normalize it, and but make them understand, and that's why we have this show too, understand what it is doing to our body. And maybe can you go a bit further, like as to what hydrogen can do, like so a lot of the benefits.

SPEAKER_01 16:16

So hydrogen is the smallest molecule, right? So your body absorbs it faster than anything else. Um, so it works at a cellular level. What it does is like it fights free radicals in your body, which is you know the part that gets us sick. So it's almost like you're you're avoiding getting sick. It's not like I get sick and then I start taking hydrogen water and then I feel better or any of the other modalities, right? I think the goal is we don't want to get sick, we're preventing getting sick now and more staying on the healthy side. Yeah, all about preventative health. It's preventative health, yeah. So if you're always drinking hydrogen, I mean it will fight those free radicals, it has a lot of antioxidants, um, which also helps with you know sickness like cancer, right? They cancer lives on a very acidic environment. And if you're always drinking like that type of water, you're not on an acidic environment. You're more with like an elevated pH, which will help with all those things. So I always tell people it will cure diseases. No, but it will avoid your getting a lot of preventative. It's very preventative.

SPEAKER_00 17:33

I love that. Actually, even preventative, what I did, preventative I was before we flew here. Long flights, right? 10-hour flight of Paris, then here, long day of travels. Yeah, I prepped beforehand, you know, eat healthy food. I brought the hydrogen tablets on the airplane, drank a couple of those along the way, electrolytes, get some sleep as much as I can. You know, we lose a lot of sleep during our travels, but stay hydrated and be mindful of the good proteins, the healthy foods to digest. Yeah, and so it's all preventative because flying so hard on your body, you know, the cosmic radiation, the lack of sleep. So boost, like even leading up to it, boost your immune system so you don't get sick. Yeah, so it's all about preventative, and I'm all about that. Uh, always have been since my early 20s, you know, been really into preventative health. And it's interesting because I'm from Canada originally. And when I moved, not that our healthcare is any better there, but when I moved stayside, I was like, wow, everything is so expensive. And it was like, especially moms would be like, oh, well, it's too expensive. I'm not gonna go to that appointment, even though it's preventative. And I'm a dental hygienist. I was like, well, come see me. So you don't have to go, you know, see the dent and get all the the big procedures. It's all about preventive health. It's all worth it. But it's it's like people don't put a premium on it because it's like expensive, but they end up paying for it somehow or another later on. You either pay now or pay later. Pay later and do it now, and you'll feel so much better too. Your lifestyle, your livelihood, put health as well. Yeah, you know, put a premium on your health like you deserve it.

SPEAKER_01 19:11

And and that was our idea with the showroom. Um, it's for people to come and really try the different modalities and see how they feel so they understand how if you have that at home and you're doing it every day, you know, there's sometimes people don't want to go to the gym or go to a center, and you know, especially a lot of those, you should be not like fully dressed, right? Um, so it's nice to have it at home and you can wake up and instead of investing on like a media room or um like a little gym, invest in more like wellness devices. Yes. That you can use it. That's what I started doing actually.

SPEAKER_00 19:49

Because I was like, oh, I was paying membership somewhere else to go. I was like, well, I'm gonna now as a family, we can all use the Sana. Exactly. We can all use this red light panel. So make it, yeah, yeah, you know.

SPEAKER_01 20:00

And we design it for the home. It's like you get one monthly payment because we we have you know financing for all of those together. Um, it ends up on the long run being cheaper than paying to a place for to go to a place every day, um, especially when you include the whole family.

SPEAKER_00 20:17

Oh, yeah, absolutely. No, I see the value in that. I feel like you guys need a showroom in Arizona. Yeah.

unknown 20:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:23

I would love to go there.

SPEAKER_00 20:25

I think like so many people are building, and I'm like, this would do really well in Arizona. I think people are very much more into their health and preventative health since I've moved there four years ago. Yeah. And you would do really well. Yeah. Oh, we'll we'll go. Come visit. Yeah. Well, that's been it's been so fantastic. I am a huge promoter with hydrogen water, and I'm gonna get one at home. Love be in contact with you. If anyone wants to get in contact with you, how how could they do that?

SPEAKER_01 20:55

Well, our our Instagram is Mall Wellness. Um, we also have one that it's called the Ultimate Human Water. That one is only dedicated for the drinking system um for the hydrogen. Um, and if you are in South Florida, you're more than welcome to come to our showroom and um visit us there and try all the different modalities that we have.

SPEAKER_00 21:15

And what's the showroom called? Um, Mall Wellness House. Mull Wellness House. Okay, Mall Wellness House. I love it. Well, it's such a pleasure, Paula. Yeah, thank you so much for having me.
