My Mom gave me a pair of magnetic insoles and I was full of energy but my feet were burning hot. About a week later, I had a major skin break out, the burning feet disappeared but the energy remained. Lots of athletes and people who are on their feet all day use them for leg and foot pain and energy. I've since done a lot of detoxifying and don't wear them constantly like I used to. If we're not able to absorb the earth's natural magnetic energy by walking barefoot daily on the earth, then using these helps the cells because concrete and steel block the earth's natural magnetic energy that we need for health. Sedona and other healing areas have high magnetic fields which is one major reason why people feel healthier there. This is why animals roll around in certain areas and you see some places where horses congregate and just nap when the entire field looks the same! You probably need to detoxify since by the time we're in our forties most of us start getting diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. Most of these illnesses are preventable if we dotoxify and replenish nutrient and most are reversable as well. Eat organic too and avoid distilled and RO water which are acidic and sap energy.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Distilled water is NOT good. Visit Chet Day's website, click on articles, and find the series on water. Great website. I love Chet Day, even if he disses my favorite fix.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Hallelujah Acres has a great article about distilled water as well. I've muscle tested hundreds of people with various sorts of water and only in quite dehydrated people (meaning they drank a coffee or nothing else before they saw me) will distilled water test a little stronger than the person's normal strength. In all cases distilled and RO make a person energetically weaker than using a mineral rich energized alkaline water. Here's an excerpt from the 10 page article on the website: the studies showed that low mineral water caused an extra loss of sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, and calcium ions from the body. Low mineral water isn't neutral, but it pulls out minerals from the body. So, instead of adding extra 40 mg of magnesium and an extra 100 mg of calcium from the water, a person drinking distilled or RO water will have to make up that much and more, due to the extra loss of minerals. Over time this could have an impact. Not everyone will be affected, but people drinking larger amounts of water or getting fewer minerals from their foods will be impacted first. My conclusion here is that distilled water can be used if you make up for it with a high mineral intake, but it is important to know that it is working against you, not for you. That's the main thing I learned here. Distilled water, and other low mineral water, is not a neutral water; it actually takes away from you, whereas water with optimal concentrations of minerals in it actually supply your body with good building material... end of excerpt http://www.hacres.com/diet/research/water.pdf This is something I feel very strongly about. Our family drank distilled water for a long time before switching to a Brita filter and then to Piwater which is full of minerals. After adding the Piwater, my iridologist saw a lot of healing taking place in my organs. I was quite fatigued before. I wrote my fatigue experience earlier today and mentioned magnets. Magnets also increase bone density. I don't know the physical reason for this but magnets are used in hospitals and physiotherapists practices to speed up broken bone healing. The Piwater contains calcium and other minerals as well. There are other brands of " living " water too such as Grander but it's quite expensive.

I'm leaning towards that it's far better to drink than tap water. I drink distilled water and I drink bottled water. I like the bottled water because it has the silica in it and that is very good for your cells. I never drink tap water. But I suppose if you're going to to drink distilled water and are afraid of the depletion of minerals, you can always take a good quality vitamin/mineral supplement daily.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 A very knowledgeable friend once told me that she would never again pay for someone else's tap water, which is basically all you can say for most bottled water. There are some really great filters on the market, which I use whenever possible. Also, there are filters that are built into a regular take-along bottle. These allow you to fill with anyone's tap water and filter on the go. My taste buds are very sensitive and these filters really work well.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Drinking distilled water - pros and cons (excerpted from Wikipedia) The drinking of distilled water has been both advocated and discouraged for health reasons. The purported effect of drinking water in its pure form is a 'more powerful solvent' that helps cleanse toxins from the body. From a chemist's point of view, however, this statement is at best an incomplete description. Detractors argue that it robs the body of essential minerals in this way and also deprives it of minerals normally acquired from drinking water. While there is no evidence to suggest that drinking distilled water is harmful or leaches minerals from the body, the World Health Organization has assembled considerable research which shows a relationship between drinking water containing naturally-occurring minerals and lower rates of certain diseases.[citation needed] Despite the perceived benefits, the cost of distilling water (about 0.04 to 0.10 Euro or USD per litre in 2005) prohibits its use by most households worldwide.[citation needed] It has been suggested that because distilled water (like reverse osmosis produced water) lacks fluoride ions that are added by many governments (such as most municipalities in the United States) at a water treatment plant for its effect on the inhibition of cavity formation, the drinking of distilled water may conceivably increase the risk of tooth decay due to a lack of this element.[1] Regardless, most people continue to cook with tap water as treated and delivered by their government, and in cases of fluoridized water this is thought to potentially provide sufficient fluoride to maintain normal prophylaxis in many cases. Studies funded by the World Health Organization and others seem to show a clear relationship between minerals in tap water such as calcium and magnesium and a decreased rate in certain diseases. In many other developing countries, government water treatment is necessary for health, but distilled water, if affordable, can be even safer by eliminating risks caused by variations from standards. An argument against shunning distilled water for displacing government- treated water is that governments treat water because it is much more economical than individual households treating it. Therefore, people who can afford it may choose distilled water for their drinking, and that does not deprive them of an overall health and caries plan, nor does it deprive governments of making changes informed by new knowledge (such as providing a caries prevention plan that includes distilled drinking water). Hope this helps. Cheers, J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 , " Daphne " <dmcgovern wrote: > > What is PIWATER and where does one get it at? Daphne High-energy Pi Water is the result of years of research in Japan. It can be described as energized " living " water developed by modern science after being discovered in conjunction with the studying of botanical physiology. It can be obtained through a process of filters and ceramics(FIR) that remove contaminants and release minerals and nutrients. In addition the water is magnetically vitalized. (There is no vitality in distilled water, or water from a reverse osmosis (RO) system. They are merely examples of wet " dead water " that lacks impurities.) The Pi Process Can Make The Water You Drink: * Free of organic matter such as chlorine, fluoride, etc. * Have a pH level more compatible with what is needed by our cells and blood. * Remove heavy metal contamination such as lead, mercury, and chromium 6. * Close to sterile (99.99% of bacteria removed). [if equipment properly maintained! - inserted by jsasvarix] Causing Potential Results Such As: * Helping to increase the body's own regenerative energy and balance. * Strengthening anti-oxidation power that can suppress the increase of free radicals, and perhaps even slow down the aging process. * The soaking of vegetables, fruits, fish, and meats in Pi Water restores and retains some of their freshness. * Helps healthy growth of plants [in my personal opinion, a bit expensive for this purpose. - inserted by jsasvarix] and fish, and for some people hair. * Adding bio-energy to the body. You can acquire Pi-Water systems (various sizes based on needs) from any Nikken product consultant. I am one, but I may not be the nearest to your place. I am sure any consultant will be more than pleased to help you discover what's best for you.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 so the favorite water then? Read all the water articles on http://chetday.com I am lucky enough to live in the country and have my own clean well water. At least, it tastes good and hasn't killed us yet after 30 years. If you insist on drinking distilled, add the minerals by adding 1/8th of a teaspoon of Celtic SeaSalt or Himalayan Rock Salt to each liter of water. (That's a quart for you non metric hold-outs.) Ien in the Kootenays, where the water is still fit to drink and the chicken still crosses the road. http://freegreenliving.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
