Letters in gold

Es war wohl eine schicksalhafte Begegnung, als sich With hindsight, the meeting when Johann Grander and TV journalist Hans Kronberger first got to know one another in the ‘Grander Think Chalet’ in 1993, was a fortuitous one. U.V.O. consultant Fritz Rauscher, and sales manager Heinz Breuer, had brought the two together. It was at the time when Johann Grander was just celebrating his first real success with the company, and had inadvertently created a degree of resistance among consumer protection groups and scientists who rejected his claims for revitalised water. At the time, Hans Kronberger was a consumer protection journalist with Austrian TV who had come to find out more.

The interview lasted for several hours and ended with Johann Grander giving the journalist a box full of letters of appreciation from Grander Technology customers, for inspection. Over the next two years, Hans Kronberger researched every single letter in which users described their experience with revitalised water. At the same time, Kronberger questioned scientists about the phenomenon of ‘information transfer’ by water.

Basically, science asserts the view that water has been sufficiently investigated and that there are no unknown phenomena, and no information transfer. Kronberger decided to write a book that would detail the success of Grander Technology on the one hand, and to challenge the lack of curiosity shown by science with regard to the element of water on the other. In addition, Siegbert Lattacher provided a contribution on the work of renowned natural researcher, Viktor Schauberger.

The book was called On the Track of Water's Secret, and proved to be a great success when it was published in 1995. Not only did it evoke widespread discussion on the phenomena of water, it was published in nine languages throughout the world, and sold more than 135,000 copies. Interest in the book continues to this day.

In a very personal celebration, the President of the Austrian Booksellers' Association, Anton C. Hilscher, presented the author with the Gold Book Award. He stated, ‘A small Viennese publisher, the URANUS-Verlag, has produced a global success. People have become more aware of their health and their environment. The media, and that includes books of this kind, have played a decisive part in bringing about this change.’
