He is totally dedicated to restoring the health of people with incurable chronic diseases worldwide.
Research programs led by Jong-Doo Lee at JD Life Sciences approach QELBY® as a materials science system rather than a biological intervention. The focus is on how mineral composition, surface charge, and microstructural geometry influence water organization and electron behavior at interfaces. This framework evaluates outcomes through physical and electrochemical measurements, not clinical or therapeutic claims.
What are QELBY Balls?
Changes in water behavior near mineral surfaces are commonly evaluated using parameters such as oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), surface charge distribution, and molecular ordering. Negative ORP values indicate greater electron availability but do not imply chemical alteration of the water. In mineral-interface systems, these measurements are used to describe physical charge dynamics rather than biological effects.
QELBY balls create EZ Water (H3O2), increasing negative voltage and pH (alkalinity)
Already one minute after QELBY balls are put into water, the hydrogen bonds in the water are being changed, and a negative EZ structure (H3O2) is formed.
EZ water has very high absorption into the body and more than doubles the amount of dissolved oxygen in water, which is most important for cell regeneration.
Negative electrons are thus generated (-50mV to -80mV), converting the water to weak alkali (pH 7.35 - 8.0).
QELBY® ceramic balls are a patented mineral technology developed in South Korea by JD Life Sciences. They are created by blending seven minerals with somatids extracted from natural mineral ore, then baking the mixture at 1100°C. Unlike biological interpretations of somatids, the somatids used in QELBY® ceramics function as microstructures embedded within the mineral matrix.
When placed in water, QELBY® ceramic surfaces influence how water organizes, charges, and behaves at the interface. This is not filtration, purification, or mineral supplementation. Instead, the effect is related to surface charge, electron availability, and the natural ordering that occurs where minerals and water meet.
This article explains the material science behind QELBY®, how somatids function within ceramic structures, and why this technology plays a unique role in supporting coherent, bioelectric hydration.

1. What QELBY® Ceramic Balls Are Made Of
QELBY® ceramics begin with a precise blend of seven minerals, each chosen for their stability, surface charge, and interaction with water. Into this mineral mixture, JD Life Sciences incorporates somatids extracted from natural mineral ore. Somatids that behave as submicroscopic, mineral-associated microstructures.
Somatids themselves are explained in detail on the Somatid Science overview page.
Once combined, the mixture is baked at 1100°C, transforming it into a stable terracotta-colored ceramic. This high-temperature firing:
- integrates somatid microstructures into the ceramic body
- removes biological activity
- creates a durable, mineral-rich surface
- preserves the informational and structural qualities of somatids
The result is a ceramic material with a distinct ability to influence water at the level of charge and structure.
2. Why Somatids Matter Inside a Ceramic Matrix
Somatids are microscopic mineral-associated structures known for their ability to hold form, respond to environmental energy, and maintain continuity across states. In QELBY® ceramics, the role of somatids is structural, not biological.
For a deeper explanation of somatids and their biological context, see the complete Somatid Science guide.
When embedded in the ceramic:
- they become part of a stable, high-temperature mineral matrix
- their geometry contributes to how the ceramic interacts with water
- they influence charge behavior at the surface
- they help create conditions that support electron availability
This is not somatid therapy.
This is somatid-informed material science.
In high-temperature ceramic systems, embedded microstructures function through geometry and surface interaction rather than biological activity. Once fired, the ceramic matrix behaves as an inert solid, with any functional effects arising from surface topology and charge behavior. This distinction separates material-based interaction from biological mechanism.
3. What Happens When Water Encounters QELBY® Ceramics
When water interacts with QELBY® ceramics, several physicochemical effects occur at the interface:
Surface Charge Influence
The ceramic’s mineral composition and somatid microstructure create zones of negative charge that encourage electron movement.
Improved Water Organization
Water naturally forms more ordered structures near hydrophilic, mineral-rich surfaces. QELBY® ceramics enhance this ordering by providing a charged, coherent interface.
Microstructural Coherence
The presence of somatid geometries contributes to predictable, repeated patterns in water’s arrangement, similar to how minerals shape water in natural springs.
To understand how somatid microstructures influence water behavior, explore the Somatid Science overview.
No Additives, No Leaching
QELBY® balls do not dissolve, leach minerals, or infuse water with substances.
Their effect is surface-driven, not chemical.
This is structured hydration: water behaving more coherently in response to mineral surfaces and electron movement.
4. What QELBY® Ceramic Balls Do NOT Do
They do not filter water
You must start with purified or filtered water.
They do not add minerals to water
QELBY® does not function like magnesium beads or mineralizers.
They do not alter pH through additives
Any pH shift results from water’s interaction with charged surfaces, not from infused substances.
They do not replace a purification system
This technology is complementary to purification, not a substitute.
They do not release somatids into water
Somatids are part of the ceramic, not free-floating entities.
Dense, high-fired ceramics are classified as non-leaching materials under standard materials science definitions. When immersed in water, such ceramics maintain structural integrity and do not release constituent elements through dissolution. Any observed effects are therefore attributed to surface-mediated interactions rather than material transfer.
5. Why Somatid Ceramics Support Bioelectric Hydration
Hydration is not only about water quantity, it’s also about cellular water quality, charge, and coherence.
QELBY® ceramics address the electrical side of hydration:
- improving electron availability
- helping water maintain structured, low-entropy states
- creating conditions where cellular membranes can use water more efficiently
- supporting the body’s natural voltage-driven processes
This mirrors how water behaves in natural mineral springs, where surfaces, structure, and charge combine to create hydration that feels different.
6. How QELBY® Technology Was Developed
JD Life Sciences’ research draws from:
- mineral physics
