A Documentary Special about the
Healing
Effects and Pollution Clearing Properties of “Structured” Waters
Doctors, patients, scientists and experimenters worldwide are starting to amass evidence that the most common substance on the Earth -- water -- can be a powerful new weapon in cleaning up and vitalizing our bodies and the environment. By revealing methods which mimic the way water flows in Nature and through other, almost magical techniques, this video program explores this newly emerging field which may soon prove that water is actually alive and conscious and can hold memory!
With names like “clustered water”, “structured water”, “living water”, “super ionized water” and “Atma water” these various “charged” water products are being advertised and sold as a remedy for all the toxic effects of “dead” water that comes to us through lead pipes and which, like processed foods that are lacking in life-enhancing nutrients, in this case lacks the proper electro-magnetic frequency or spin.
Using extensive microscopic footage of water clusters, 3-D animation, before and after comparisons, time lapse of measurable effects, and interviews with leading pioneers and experts, this program balances strong scientific testing with the personal testimony of patients and therapists. We learn that water can hold memory, that it can electrically transfer its life force to other bodies of water, that it can break down pollutants into non-toxic elements, and that it does wonders to the human body’s immune system and cellular metabolism.
We hear from pioneers like Patrick Flannagan, inventor of MicroHydrins and colloidal Micro cluster technology derived from the famous Hunza water which has added to the longevity of the local Kashmiri people well into their 100s. We also examine the work of Viktor Schauberger, William Baumgartner, Johann Grander, Masaru Emoto, Dr. Lee Lorenzen, Dick Wullert, and “super ionized” or “Sufi” water from Turkey brought to the West in 1999 by Ayhan Duyuk.
Are we now beginning to uncover the real secrets of the fabled Fountain of Youth sought after by Ponce de Leon? Can it be so simple? Or is it all another “New Age” scam designed to separate us from our money? As we enter the new millennium The Secret Life of Water is just one more demonstration that science and spirit are converging to give us all the tools we need to counteract the doom and gloom scenarios that could very well occur if we choose to deny the possibility that the Universe is alive and trying to communicate that vitality to every human being.

Spirituality & Science
A Six-part Series of one-hour Documentaries for
Television
The Twentieth Century saw the most scientific and technological advances ever in human history. Will the Twenty-first Century bring more of the same? Or will we accelerate even beyond the last century in our understanding of the nature of reality and delve into the very essence of an unseen world which theologians and mystics have told us repeatedly down through the ages, influences and even creates the tangible world of matter?
In this groundbreaking documentary series for television we learn of leading edge experiments and studies that are being conducted in major prestigious academic institutions and in smaller yet reputable organizations that conclusively point to the existence of consciousness, soul, or universal mind — all various manifestations of what can be called Spirituality.
Each episode in the series is organized around a discipline in which major headline-producing pronouncements have led to passionate debates and ethical discussions in the media such as with cloning, genetically modified foods, prayer, alternative healing, parapsychology, artificial intelligence, quantum physics, and creationism vs. evolution. These episodes are:
- medicine
- physics
- anthropology/psychology
- agriculture/ecology
- technology
- astronomy/cosmology
A few of the leading scientists, philosophers, authors, and physicians
to
be interviewed include Peter Russell, Amit Goswami, Rupert Sheldrake,
Larry
Dossey, Fred Alan Wolf, Marilyn Schlitz, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Huston
Smith,
Charles Tart, Robert Thurman, Jean Houston, Robert Pollack, and Ian
Barbour.
Through the beauty of the heavenly macrocosm as seen through the Hubble space telescope to the wondrously small microcosm as seen in scanning electron microscopy we illustrate each program with many examples of order and chaos in Creation. From early aboriginal dancers and artists' depictions of nature spirits and gods to the cybertechno-Mass of Rev. Matthew Fox we see how mankind has attempted to express the sacred through the arts.
The reconciliation of the apparent conflict between the matter-of-fact nature of science and the mysterious, ephemeral nature of spirit is accomplished by the blend of contemporary philosophical insights, historical vignettes showing, for instance, how today's science emerged from the monasteries of the Dark Ages, stories of recent discoveries that changed accepted beliefs, and the poetry of enlightened minds like Albert Einstein. We go into the core of the major religions to seek out the kernels of common belief in the form of "the perennial wisdom", a universal spirituality that science seems to be substantiating in every discipline.
But it is the ethical questions that will make up the meat of each program and many diverse viewpoints will converge to show that simple answers are seldom obvious. Only by frequent and civil dialogue, can we as a society expect to arrive at compromises and long-term solutions that will respect the beliefs of a multi-faith populace.
As with any open-ended inquiry we end each episode with more
questions than we have answered, but not without making audiences
ponder more deeply than ever about how science and spirituality will
both continue to evolve to impact all of our lives and our world.

Vogel Flats and other areas impacted by the 2009 Station Fire.
What happened?
How did it happen?
Could this have been prevented?
Why did the Station Fire spread as much as it did?
Why were the firefighters sent home before the danger was over?
What role did the U.S. Forest Service play?
What role did the California State Parks have?
Who made the decisions of when and where the firefighters went and what they did?
Why wasn’t there a backup team in place when the firefighters were sent home?
Did the backfires work? Which ones did and which didn’t?
The houses that were saved -- how did that happen?
What measures can be taken in the future to prevent similar tragedies from occuring in other communities in fire prone regions?
Aftermath – Who helped the fire victims?
Where was our government?
How can we as individuals & a community heal from this tragedy?
What will it take to rebuild & restore our forests?
What did we learn from this & how can other communities learn from the experience?
This film documents the timeline of what happened from eyewitness reports and, more importantly, unravels the controversial aspects of key decisions made by authorities and homeowners that may have contributed to the situation. Stories of heroism and negligence, motivations and policies, relief efforts and the aftermath are told with the purpose of creating a historical record so that the people of Big Tujunga can heal and move on with their lives. It also serves to educate other communities in or adjacent to national and state forests, to learn from mistakes and take preventative measures as governmental budget cuts, regional climate change and drought conditions persist in the coming years making wildfires more common and potentially more devestating.
Ultimate Energy Showdown
A Television and Internet Series - 8-13 One-hour Episodes
created by Christopher Toussaint and Matt Baird
Ultimate Energy Showdown demonstrates and proves or disproves new energy devices that could power our home, automobiles, and the electric grid. It combines the do-it-yourself , practical “does it work?” philosophy of Mythbusters with the scientific integrity and creative imagination of NOVA. Follow co-hosts Matt and Carter as they delve into the strange world of eccentric inventors and cutting-edge companies that are taking on the fossil fuel burning system that is powering (and polluting) our lives.
Imagine a car that runs on nothing but air or water, an electric car that recharges itself while you drive it. That technology is here today. What if your home allowed you to turn on all of your appliances at once and run them indefinitely free of charge? Sounds impossible? It’s not.
A Green-based smart grid system totally powered by solar, wind, and wave technology has reached the planning stage.
The United States has fallen behind the rest of the developed world in the implementation of new green power. But with this series, we will introduce brave new innovators who are putting it all on the line to save our planet. In addition, Ultimate Energy Showdown will inspire young people to continue learning and pursue careers in the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) – a stated goal of the current U.S. administration.
Ultimate Energy Showdown will attempt to either prove or disprove a particular emerging technology with fair, unbiased, scientifically-based benchmark tests. Every show will feature two different technologies, interviews with their inventors and independent technical consultants. We will focus mainly on point-of-use energy systems that consumers can install and generate on site as well as radical new advances in conservation and efficiency. They will be put to the test to demonstrate real-world applicability and affordability. Viewers will find out if a particular invention passes the Reality Check Meter, is inconclusive, or fails the Showdown Challenge.
Ultimate Energy Showdown rests on the cutting edge of what is scientifically imaginable and possible. There are many inventors and companies we will introduce to American audiences.
Who will be the next Einstein or Tesla? Watch and find out…
