[00021] The various embodiments of the present invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawings, wherein like designations denote like elements. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[00022] As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a providing trace mineral elements to humans and more particularly to a vitality stick system as used to improve a device for affecting water.

[00023] Generally speaking, the human body is made of 70% water, so the quality of water that is ingested is very important to overall physical health and metaphysical well-being. The present inventor is using the premise that high-speed photography can capture the structure of water at the moment of freezing. This frozen crystalline structure has been correlated with a response to a person's thoughts to explore the consequences of destructive thoughts, as well as thoughts of positivity, love, and appreciation, during the formation of the water crystals. The present inventor is using the premise that thoughts can influence water, which may have profound implications for health and well-being. The natural resonant frequency of water (and all organic organisms) is within the far infrared (FIR) frequency band. Water is both a receiver and an emitter of the FIR frequency band. It vibrates vigorously at these wavelengths and FIR wavelengths between 4 and 16 microns play an important role in overall health. FIR resonance absorption may improve vitality of living tissues, enhance energy levels and increase metabolism.

[00024] The vitality stick, or energy stick, provides an environmentally-friendly, 3- dimensional, triangle-shaped copper-based stick that enhances properties of daily drinking water and boosts overall health and vitality. The copper stick may be produced in a variety of shapes which may include a heart shape or an infinity sign which may resemble a figure 8. The shapes may further include geometric shapes or geometric proportions of forms found in nature that are considered to be "sacred geometry" forms. When added to drinking water, the copper stick beneficially-increases the alkalinity of the water. The auyervedic benefits of copper consumption may include boosting anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-mierobial, anti-oxodant, anti-carcinogenic, and pro-melanin agents in the human body. It is possible that the aforementioned benefits may be applied to animals and animal drinking water, as well.

[00025] The vitality stick includes mesh compartments that provide for retention and controlled release of trace elements. The trace elements can include, but are not limited to a variety of combinations of vitamins, minerals, silica-centered microclusters, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium, zinc and other trace minerals, and the like, in the form of ionic mineral balls/stones. Some of the ionic mineral balls/stones are made of highly porous mineral stones to aid in changing the oxygenation alkilinity of the water. The ionic mineral balls/stones can continuously release health enhancing ionized (bioavailable) minerals while they gradually deplete in size for a period of up to 5 years depending on usage frequency. The quantity and composition of ionic mineral balls/stones included in the vitality stick may also vary to allow for customization.

[00026] More specifically, the ionic mineral balls/stones may be targeted to include activated coconut carbon, ionic silver nanoparticle balls, tourmaline, shungite, silica-centered microclusters, and maifan minerals. The activated coconut carbon may be made from high- quality coconut shells, Activated coconut carbon is believed to be able to neutralize and remove chlorine, chloramiiies, heavy metals, industrial chemicals, and agricultural chemicals from water. It may further decompose noxious compounds and organics such as hydrogen sulfide and chloramine while neutralizing undesirable tastes and odors found in drinking water. Ionic silver nanoparticle balls are believed to be able to eliminate bacterial infections and speed tissue repair and growth. In a naturally charged state ionic silver nanoparticle balls may encourage production of stem cells, and cause fibroblast organisms to alter their normal cellular morphology to destroy, remove, or otherwise render fibroblast organisms ineffective as infection causing agents in the body. It is believed that the ionic silver niinoparticle balls may be able to penetrate the cell walls of viruses and/or bacteria to inhibit cellular respiration and/or reproduction. The use of maifan minerals originated in Chinese medicine practices, Maifan minerals contain micro-nutrient elements such as calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, copper, and selenium, which are all essential to a maintain a healthy human body.

[00027] Use of tourmaline beneficially increases water alkalinity, reduces water clustering, and has anti-bacterial and deododarizing qualities to enhance water taste. Electric current flows through tourmaline via movement of electrons that originated from the sun, with negatively-charged electrons entering the positively-charged side of tourmaline and exiting from the negatively-charged side. With this current flow, tourmaline is like a battery widi unlimited life. When placed in water, slight pressure contributes to the piezoelectric effect that supports water's crystalline structure with a slight positive charge. Because the FIR rays emitted by tourmaline create the same resonance in the body as water, tourmaline has a soothing effect on nerves. Tourmaline is also known for its ability to aid in the detoxification process and for balancing metabolic functions.

[00028] Shungite contains many of the minerals in the periodic table and is useful for harmonizing energy, for blocking electomagnetic field (EMF) and geopathic stress effects, and for creating good health and a healthy immune system. Shungite transforms water into a biologically active life-enhancing substance, while removing harmful micro-organisms and pollutants by absorbing elements that arc hazardous to health such as pesticides, free radicals, bacteria and the like, or EMF, microwave, and other vibrational emissions. It is believed that shungite infused water consumed several times a day may eliminate free radicals and pollutants and act as an antibacterial and antiviral element, which may reduce the intensity and duration of the common cold and other diseases.

[00029] Silica-centered microclusters may contribute to increased bio-availability for the body's absorbtion of nutrients at a cellular level while simulataneously improving the absorption and effectiveness of food- and supplement-nutritional value(s). In addition, silica- centered microclusters superhydrate these nutrients, which may beneficially-increase overall human hydration levels. Further, silica-centered microclusters may assist in the body's natural detoxification and elimination processes. Also, silica-centered microclusters may assist in creating negatively-charged hydrogen ions which aid in neutralizing harmful free- radicals in the body. Ultimately silica-centered microclusters may enhance drinking water's benefits to compare to the benefits realized from the purest mountain spring waters.

[00030] The vitality stick will also include a pair of aligned bipolar magnets that will be embedded in the visible outer surface of the copper at either end of the stick. Continued use of aligned bipolar magnets may improve overall metabolic levels and boost energy, and potentially alleviate colds, coughs, bronchitis, and/or fever. Aligned bipolar magnets may also be able to break up kidney and gallbladder stones into small pieces.

[00031] The vitality stick may also be configured to include any type of gemstone. For example, the following gemstoncs, each believed to have unique health and vitality improving qualities, may be included: clear quartz crystal (mav increase the efficacy of other crystals while increasing awareness, neutrality, perception, attention, memory, and understanding, while harmonizing the brain, nerves, glands and hormones. It may distribute energy and alleviate pain, while improving the appearance of skin, hair, and nails); amethyst (may increase the positive effects of other crystals and promote clarity, awareness, neutrality, and a firm standpoint, as well as strengthen perception, attention, memory, and understanding by harmonizing the brain, nerves, and glands, while balancing hormones. Further, amethyst may generate energy and alleviate pain, while improving the apperance of skin, hair, and nails); blue sodalite (may promote awareness, striving for truth, idealism, and being true to ones self. It may be bcnificial to the throat, larynx, vocal chords, kidneys, and bladder, It also may have a fever-abating effect and may increase absorption of fluids).

[00032] Green fluorite (may promote sense of order, self-determination, flexibility, and a free spirit. It may encourage increased concentration, thinking, and learning while promoting clarity of thought. It may strengthen teeth and bones, and reduce ganglions and joint pain. It may be good for the skin, mucous membranes, respiratory system, lungs, intestines, nerves, and the brain. It may also alleviate the effects of allergies); rose quartz (may promote feelings of affection, empathy, directness, sensitivity, sensuality, and romance. It may promote awareness of one's own needs, It may strengthen the heart, circulatory system, and reproductive organs to include increasing fertility in women. It may also improve skine tone and texture); and calcite (may promote stability, steadfastness, self confidence, healthy growth, and harmonious development. It may reduce the tendency to be lazy, strengthen the ability to overcome difficulties, and make a person feel capable and successful. It may also regulate metabolism, digestion, and waste elimination, It may have benefits for bones, teeth, connective tissue, skin, mucous membranes, and intestines).

[00033] Further, positive neurological effects may be gained by adding visible positive messages on the vitality stick. A selection of positive messages may include, at a minimum, the following words and phrases: "Love"; "Aspire to Inspire"; "Attitude of Gratitude"; "Freedom"; "Go with the Flow"; "Energize"; "Balance"; "Happiness is an Attitude"; "Keep Moving Forward"; "Breathe Deeply"; "Peace"; "Courage"; "Live in the Moment"; "Shine Bright"; "Pursue your Dreams"; "Be Fearless"; "Take Chances"; "Create Happiness"; "Be Passionate"; "Laugh Every Day"; "Be Generous"; or "Practice Kindness". The present inventor is using the premise that water changes its crystal structure in response to a person's reaction to posdve words and messages. Inclusion of visible positive messages and symbols on the vitality stick can serve to initiate the water's reaction to support improved health and well-being.
