Water 101 (again).

Would you agree that there are 28 major ions in water?

One of these is iron.

As Craig pointed out, iron is very useful. Tiny, microscopic slices, for ex., can be arranged sequentially on magnetic tape. If you still have any cassette or open-reel tapes laying around, you may want to crank up the volume and think about iron while you're reading this board.

Take away the ions and you've got distilled (deionized) water. Since the interaction of some ions with certain materials, e.g. metal, is potentially harmful, it's universally recommended to use distilled water in car batteries and (ideally) radiators.

The point is that certain ions can be changed. In water, if you believe the manufacturers and the sports medicine professionals, the ions can be changed either subtly or dramatically.

AquaLiv uses the word programmed, which may be the source of your confusion because it implies the concept in physics of potential. If the ion, which has been modified or changed (programmed) by a ceramic substance, meets a bad guy (virus), the ion recognizes it and kicks ass.

The ion recognizes it because AquaLiv has found a way to embed the signature (see AquaLiv's barcode metaphor) of the bad guy(s).

At this point, Clint Eastwood is riding into town with Most Wanted pics and posters, and the bad guys are saying ohhhh shhhhh ...

So far so good?

Ion recognizes bad guy and has his number.

What is the precise mechanism of this "manipulation", and what is the effect on the physical state of these ions?

Embedding an ion with a particular signature isn't too hard to imagine.

What the ion does with that information is the kicker and it's proprietary information. AquaLiv should not reveal this process, the means and mechanism, under any circumstances, IMO.

Still, the questions can be asked. Does the programmed ion smother the bad guy? Punch it full of holes? Deplete its supply of nutrients? We don't know. It's proprietary and I hope it stays that way.

As mentioned, Dr. Sleight did his PhD dissertation, for chrissakes, on the interaction of bad guys such as E.coli and certain properties of water, so he knows whereof he speaks.

This is science on steroids and I'm glad to be along for the ride.
