A kennel that specialized in racing Greyhounds reported that Willard Water XXX was able to get rid of a stubborn virus. Other dog owners describe aggressive dogs becoming mellow after using Willard Water XXX in their drinking water. A tablespoon can be added to your dog’s meat meal to kill bacteria.

Dr. Willard, Professor emeritus of chemistry at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, discovered a unique catalyst that alters the molecular structure of ordinary water. In his product, Willard Water XXX, one of the ingredients is fossilized organics from refined lignite. The lignite, which is rich in carbon, is added to “reactivate” the catalyst-altered water (CAW). Lignite is a source of trace minerals, nutrients, amino acids, humic acids, carbon and natural ingredients that act as growth accelerators in plants. Researchers have also found traces of antibiotics that naturally occur in lignite.

Willard Water XXX works topically as a treatment for many skin disorders, especially hot spots. It acts as an eyewash, and can be used to clean ears. When you are traveling with your dog, add it to the drinking water to keep his stress levels under control and to counteract polluted water supplies. I have used Willard Water XXX for many years. I use it on hot spots and it dries up the inflamed areas overnight. I spray it on cuts to stop the bleeding, and insect bites to reduce the swelling and irritation.

There are two kinds ofWillard Water,clear and dark. Both are available in a concentrated form, and you add 1 ounce of the clear or 2 ounces of the dark to a gallon of distilled water.

I use it. In both my dogs' water and for treating various topical problems.
This may sound stupid, but for some unknown reason, it makes drinking more water much more appealing to me. I am not a big water drinker.
--Here is one quick experience I had with the water. I set up at an outdoor flea market last year, and historically, I get burned to a crisp and suffer for days afterward. But that particular year, I brought a squirt bottle of dilute Willard Water, and spritzed myself thoughout the day, went home, expecting the worst, and to my surprise--no sunburn at all!
It is also good on doggie hot spots and tear stains--in it's diluted form.

I don't know how in the world this stuff works--but it does!

Very interesting -- has anybody tried this? My dog has discoid lupus which causes scabbing on his nose and ears. I hate using steroid creams on him, but it's the only thing that works. :( I'd love to hear if others have tried this or other natural remedies that might help.

Thanks!
