Water

[Guest guest]

I have a home water distiller, have had it for years. It was costly

when I got it so I'm sure they have gone up like everything else.

I sometimes will mix distilled water and hydrosols.

Emryldgea,

 

Boil the tap water to a heavy rolling boil. Pour through a coffee filter

into a sterilized glass jar. (Stick the coffee filter into a funnel stuck in

the jar. Gallon juice jars are the easiest to use.) Allow to cool thoroughly

before using. Be very very careful you don't burn yourself.

Hi Denise, Emryldgea, Michelle, Sandy.. all (whew!!!),

 

We don't have a home distiller and hey you guys, I'm JEOLOUS! lol We " do " have a

water purification system, and it's helped a lot, but we still don't drink the

stuff, yup, Florida water's bad.. Ugh!!!!!!!!!!

Be careful of boiling the water, ........please!!!!!!!!! When I lived in

Connecticut, our water was from the well and tested and tasted great.. however,

.............there was a fairly new housing development, maybe 20 or so homes,

and when their water was tested, it was found that there were pesticides in the

water and any " boiling " of the water only intensified them, filtering or not.

Result? Our town, far as I know, to this day still provides bottled/spring water

to these houses and everyone was told, DO NOT BOIL this water! Surprising, till

we realized, due to more education, that while some things in water boil right

out.......others get much stronger... so be careful.

 

Good luck to you...........

 

Hugs,

 

Marilyn

 

PS - Any/all bottled water should have an expiration date on it, we always

check.. if it doesn't, don't buy it. And yes, we stock up...........

I have beakers muscular dystrophy... if you have to have a MD this is the slower moving one most times.. I had blood clots in Jan. 2000 from sitting in the desk chair i used almost all the time and after a week in the hospital and not being able to move much i had to use my power wheelchair full time after this. I can still half way stand , when leaning on a count on the back of the sofa to move from chair to chair. I am much safer in a wheel chair and not walking anymore as i would fall easy and could not get myself back up for a few years.. i am doing pt and all i can to stay as strong as i can for as long as i can... i can so just about anything for myself still and have a full time live in caregiver/cook/maid.....

Anyhow, we're about to move, but how or where does one go about getting water analyzed?

I know it's bad, but all we do with this water is take baths and wash clothes and flush the toilet and clean, that's it. I don't even let my two cats or dog have it....it can't be good for them either.

Dear Anad,

 

Can you not over dose on drinking to much water? (to much depending on the

person)

 

Water on its own would you consider it building yin?

 

I " thought " a least room temperature water is more draining?

 

Often ask the patients at the hospital to drink water (hot/warm) water before

and after treatment (mainly in rehabilitation.

 

This seams to be invigorating moving (possibly supplementing the channels and

collaterals, at least in fairly small dosages and warmer then room temperature.

 

Any opinions corrections?

It is my understanding that 4.5 ozs. within each half-hour or so is as much

water as the kidneys can process efficiently. Most of the recommendations

I have seen say take your weight and divide it by two, the result is how

many ozs. of water you should drink a day (this does not take into account

a very hot climate, etc.).

My personal experience less I a have read somewhere and not remembering, is that

boiled water about 1/2 -1 cup between 1 to 5 times a 25 hour period is

augmenting yang activating the liver (from both east west point of view)

supporting the spleen from Chinese medicine point of view and " harmonising " or

supplementing triple heater.

[Guest guest]

not really. if we drink upto 1-1.5 litres of water

first thing in the morning then it will flush the

system clean over a few days. ie: 2-3 weeks. plus you

do not need to drink lots of water during the day

unless you are thirsty.

it takes some practise before you can develop this

habit. but it can be done safely.

KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN YOU PRESCRIBE THIS TO PTS. THEY

WILL NEED TO BE AROUND ATOILET OTHERWISE THERE WILL BE

TROUBLE FOR THE PRACTITIONER.

Hi Yeah, I've heard that drinking too much water is a method of

suicide by some ppl in some cultures in history. Now, I'm sure that

would take an awful lot. Dunno how much, though, as I've never done

any digging on the subject. My gut reaction is, simply stop when your

body tells you to.

Here is an interesting article about water overdose.

 

Can I Overdose on Water?

 

Can drinking too much water harm me?

 

 

 

 

 

By Elizabeth Somer, MA,RDNews Archive

 

I like to drink about a dozen 8-ounce glasses of water every day. But I heard recently that a few people have died from drinking too much water. Could I be hurting myself?

 

 

 

Oct. 23, 2000 -- No. And you are unlikely to ever meet someone who has overdosed on water.

 

You would need to chug down about three quarts of water or more all at once to come down with a case of true water intoxication. It does happen, but so rarely that I couldn't find statistics on the number of cases. These people become drowsy, lightheaded, and weak. They have trouble coordinating bodily movements and thinking straight, looking and feeling as if they just stumbled out of the local bar. But the water-intoxicated can't just go home and sleep it off. They must get treatment or risk going into convulsions, a coma, or even death.

 

What most Americans actually need to worry about is getting the eight glasses of water nutrition experts recommend (that's eight 8-ounce glasses). They suggest even more for athletes or people living in hot climates. While it may seem like a lot, it really isn't when you recognize that water accounts for up to 80% of your body weight and plays an integral role throughout in the smooth functioning of your body's vital systems.

 

It's no wonder, then, that falling short of the daily recommendation may make you ill. At first, you might feel thirsty and tired. Left unchecked, dehydration will progress with a loss of appetite, nausea, tingling in the arms and feet, labored breathing, dizziness, and possibly mental confusion.

 

 

 

Find out what made the Top Searches of 2003

[Guest guest]

That's an interesting article.

 

I usually drink 12 - 18 8oz glasses spread over the day.

Occassionally I get 'real thirsty' and drink nearly that much at

once. Never had those symptoms though.

 

Love & Light

It can cause you're kidneys to fail. This sometimes happens to people

on X because they are hot hot hot and don't realize how much they are

drinking. But it takes a LOT. Example, I've read that the min water

intake should be half of your weight as ounces (ex. I weigh 145lb, I

should drink about 72 ounces of water a day). That's a bootload of

water and that is my minimum (I rarely manage to drink that much

though). It's not something you really do by accident.

A few days ago I had that 'real thirsty' feeling (this happens maybe

2 or 3 times a year) and ate a couple of oranges instead of drinking,

then it was gone.

 

Could your experience of it have been because of the soda as well?

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Plain old soda water is not good for anyone. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of our bodies and not something we need to be putting back in. If it was good for us we wouldn't be exhaling carbon dioxide with every breath.

I feel that drinking that amount you state above at once is BAD!

Where you are saying you get 'real thirsty' I think is a concern

that you may be experiencing some problem, similar to mine below.

 

I believe you should drink a glass hourly.

 

I have had water intoxication! Was hospitalised back in 1998 with suspected

diabetes insipidus. I could not walk without holding onto walls, had no balance

etc, dizzy all sorts of stuff.

 

Due to a big move with all my animals I was under stress and drank a lot of

water

and soda water, and the more you drink it throws your thirst hormone out of

whack and

it just keeps telling you that you are more thirsty. The only treatment I know

of is

to just monitor and reduce the fluid intake. Course they kept testing my blood

sugar

and other blood tests for the week I was there, and for a while I was a

'mystery'

patient hehehe.

We have to drive 12 miles to a water store, lugging 5-gallon bottles, fill them,

and pay $0.35 per gallon for our drinking water because we will not drink the

water from our tap.

 

Our local water company issues a notice about once a year stating that the water

in our pipes is over the EPA limit for coliform bacteria and WAY over the limit

for chlorine....They're adding more chlorine because of the bacteria, and then

the water is too basic (pH too high) so then they have to acidify it...and so it

goes. It's just nasty however you look at it.

 

Years ago, before the information was being made available, we were drinking our

tap water and my sons were having intestinal problems. We switched to bottled

water and within two weeks, the boys were fine again.

 

I just wish we didn't have to bathe in this stuff. I'm researching chlorine

filters that can be attached to the shower head, so if anyone has suggestions,

I'm all ears.

All bottled water isn't equal either. Make sure you look at the label.
