The insurmountable nature of trying to reproduce the water that could apparently have an effect on cancer and other diseases may seem to have been an impossible mission. Whether it was a testimony to genius, or purely a serendipitous occurrence, apparently Dr. Smirnov proved equal to the task.
– Dr. Albert Szent Gyorgyi
Dr. Smirnov observed that this group’s resilience was associated with their consistent consumption of water from the Caucasus mountain springs. This observation became the seed of a scientific inquiry that would ultimately lead to a major innovation in water science.
Through rigorous study, Dr. Smirnov determined that the distinctive molecular structure of the spring water played a role in the physiological response of the individuals. He recognised that water is not a uniform substance everywhere on Earth but can exhibit different structural characteristics influenced by its environmental context — including geomagnetic and weak electromagnetic field variations. These subtle fields, present in nature, can affect the behaviour of water molecules and, consequently, water’s interaction with biological systems.
This insight — that water structure matters — propelled Dr. Smirnov to undertake a multi-year research programme into how electromagnetic fields could be applied to restructure water in a controlled and beneficial way. He hypothesised that, if weak electromagnetic fields can modify water structure in natural environments, then a carefully designed resonant field could be used to generate a water structure compatible with biological hydration mechanisms.
Over the following decade and a half, Dr. Smirnov undertook systematic research to understand how electromagnetic influences could modify water at the molecular level. This work led to the development of a unique, non-contact method that applies a low-frequency resonant electromagnetic field through a specialised activator device.
Scientific analysis demonstrated that MRET® (Molecular Resonance Effect Technology) induces a measurable change in water’s molecular geometry, widening the hydrogen bond angle by approximately 10°. This geometric shift enhances intermolecular hydrogen bonding and increases molecular coupling, giving rise to a distinct, ordered configuration.
As a result, water molecules form a polarised, stratified molecular structure, described in early Russian literature as a Linear Stratified Pattern,and later referred to in Western research as Single-File Alignment. In this arrangement, water molecules align in a chain-like sequence with strong coupling within molecular layers and reduced coupling between layers, producing long-range structural coherence that differs fundamentally from ordinary drinking water.
In recognition of the novelty and technical merit of this process, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a patent for the MRET® technology, marking a major milestone in structured water science. Over nearly fifteen years of refinement, this patented technology has since been adopted, studied, and integrated into hydration research and applications around the world.
Today, MRET® stands as a testament to Dr. Smirnov’s enduring curiosity — inspired by an unexpected observation at Chernobyl — and his dedication to exploring the relationship between water structure and human biology. Pegasus Aqua is privileged to bring this original, patented technology to markets in Southeast Asia, enabling wider access to a scientifically grounded approach to hydration.
