Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 O.k. not really. I am getting more confused tho. This is in the recent Mercola newsletter, and I'm really a wonderin whatcha' all think ?? http://mercola.com/2002/may/8/distilled_water.htm# Finally, Physical Proof that Distilled Water is Inferior Dr. Masaru Emoto, a visionary researcher from Japan received certification from the Open International University as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine. Subsequently he was introduced to the concept of micro cluster water in the US and Magnetic Resonance Analysis technology. The quest thus began to discover the mystery of water. He undertook extensive research of water around the planet not so much as a scientific researcher but more from the perspective of an original thinker. At length he realized that it was in the frozen crystal form that water showed us its true nature. Dr Emoto began by studying the crystallization process of water It all started in 1994 when he took samples of water from various sources, froze a few droplets, examined them under a dark field microscope and photographed them. He photographed the crystal formations produced by water as it passes from liquid into freezing state. It is like taking a snapshot of the water at that moment in time. He quickly realized that the crystals that formed from water depended highly on the natural health of the water. In other words, water from natural springs, healing water sources etc, formed beautiful and complex crystalline geometries - like snowflakes. Water that had been distilled, polluted or passed through consumption had lost its inner order. This leads to the realization that natural healthy water carries an 'inner order' defining its nature and properties. Dr. Mercola's Comment: In April I attended the SkaSys lecture by Dr. Hans Lechner. This amazing technology allows one to successfully harness consciousness as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. Dr. Lechner shared detailed of his recent meeting with Dr. Emoto and it became clear that this technology could clearly demonstrate the danger of distilled water at a clear and easily seen level. Although it is controversial I am firmly convinced that distilled water is harmful to your health. One of the major foundational reasons is that distilled water is highly acidic. Most of us are far too acidic already and the last thing we need to be drinking is a fluid that will make us even more acidic. Distilled water is alleged to be beneficial due to its lack of contaminants. Well, many of the devices that distill water are made of metal and will actually add certain toxic metals like nickel back to the water, which actually worsens health. Since distilled water is like a vacuum without any minerals, it will actually leach beneficial minerals from your body to balance it out. While this maybe beneficial for a short period during some sort of detoxification regimen, this is usually highly counter productive in the long run. Then there is the physics of the water. Water is structured and when it is distilled the structure becomes profoundly disturbed as you can see by the pictures above. It is possible to restructure the water by putting it in a clear glass container, adding a few minerals and leaving it out in the sunshine for a day. This will help to restore the normal beneficial structure that water should have to promote health. I believe it was the Asians who popularized the saying that one picture is worth a thousand words, so please enjoy the pictures which will help you appreciate the difference between natural spring water and distilled water.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 I was disecting his arcticle and Mercola isn't advocating for anything, he only seems to be disecting the distillation (although that's what makes me wonder). Mercola seems to be pushing for 'spring water' which doesn't exist within my practical reach. Geesh I don't know.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Dang Pam, I was wondering if her ever tested rain water? This is a form of distilled water. Right now about 99% of our water sources are polluted already. So.... Plus 60-70% (this is my opinion) of our bottled waters has been "enhanced" with man made minerals. So I'm not truly convinced that this study was all it seems to be worth. The data it gives and the data it doesn't give make it a biased report. It doesn't give the results of the "other" waters he's tested, like city water, bottled "enhanced" water. He only gave that at the natural source or "healing water" it is better than distilled. As to leeching minerals from the body. Per Doc you need to eat one organic sunflower seed a day to replenish what is lost. If your taking total nutrition then your totally fine. Love, Zeb P.S. Remember that I am still learning about all of these things myself and can be wrong. Please make up your own mind as to what you believe is true. - pam herbal remedies Saturday, May 01, 2004 7:17 PM Herbal Remedies - Drowning...... O.k. not really.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 I think 100% of the worlds water is polluted and than some. I don't need to test it or the air. Doesn't matter how clear it runs, water has been on the planet since it's conception, it's been consumed by dinosaures and every creature thereafter. Not to mention our air, just because we can see, doesn't make it clear. I am, and have been a filter for it and all the other crap.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Here is the post that Doc made last time the debate over distilled water came up... Dr. Ian Shillington [Dr.IanShillington] Monday, February 02, 2004 8:17 PMherbal remediesHerbal Remedies - Distilled Water - It doesn't get any better ;o) The Importance of Distilled Water Only oxygen is more essential than water in sustaining the life of all living organisms. Human beings can live for several weeks without proteins, carbohydrates, and fats but just a few days without water. The quality of your tissues, their performance, and their resistance to disease and injury are absolutely linked to the quality and quantity of water you drink. Experts agree that in order to maintain optimum health one needs to drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. The daily cleansing of wastes from each cell, the flushing of the alimentary canal and the purifying of the blood are all dependent on our drinking water. Most people get their water from the household tap. This water originates from lakes, rivers, streams, and underground sources. The majority of water goes through a system of cleaning at the local water treatment plant. However, because of a lack of funds to provide the necessary technology, many harmful pollutants and water borne diseases are present in the finished treated water.Our tap water is treated only to minimum standards, by sedimentation, filtration, chemical conditioning and disinfection with chlorine. The toxic metals, pesticides, industrial chemical,... the 50 or so chemicals used in the water treatment are present in the already treated water, along with the dead bacteria killed by the chlorine, as are the carcinogenic Trihalomethanes from the chlorine itself, that are known to cause liver and corectal cancers. Dr. Michael Colgan, Optimum Sports Nutrition.According to the scientists from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Cancer Institute(NCI), it has been estimated that between 60 to 80 percent of all cancer is caused by the chemicals in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink. Cancer will afflict one out of every four people. The NCI expressed concern over 20 years ago that increase in carcinogens in water and our inability to remove them at the treatment plants could result in serious exposure of the general population.Bacteria, viruses, synthetic compounds, metals, and radionuclides are the contaminants that become incorporated into our drinking water, and have the potential to cause health effects ranging from low grade sub-clinical illnesses such as colds and flue to death from cancer. Canadian Nutrition Guide.There are more than 60,000 chemical contaminants in water. Any municipal water supply is likely to have at least a thousand of these. Water authorities do what they can, but it is too great an expense to ensure our tap water is healthy enough for us to drink.Fifty percent of the US population uses water that in part is made up of recently discharged wastewater. And like the treatments for drinking water, wastewater treatments do not remove many of the toxic substances. Prevention Magazine.The contamination is beyond help. More than 55,000 of the regulated chemical dumps across the nation are leaking into the ground water. Science News, 1993. With all this in mind, you need to know that distilled water is an excellent source of water. Distilled water is water which has been heated to the boiling point so that impurities are separated from the water which itself becomes vapor or steam. It is then condensed back into pure liquid form. The impurities remain in the residue which is simply thrown away. Distilled water contains no solids, minerals or trace elements, and has no taste. Distillation removes the debris, bacteria, and other contaminants.Distilled water has been a water purity standard in analytical labs, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and many other industries for many years and more recently a gold standard for drinking. Distillation duplicates nature’s hydrologic cycle. The sun’s heat vaporizes the water and draws it from the earth’s surface into the atmosphere. The impurities remain. As the vapor cools, it falls back to the earth as rain, snow, and other precipitation. As it leaves the clouds, the precipitation is pure but as it makes is descent to the earth it picks up the various forms of pollution found in the air. Then, as it reaches the ground, the water continues to pick-up contaminants on its way back to the various bodies of water on the earth. In mechanized distillation, water is boiled in a distiller, which creates steam that rises and leaves virtually all contaminants behind in the boiling chamber. Steam is then collected and condensed into pure, clean distilled water leaving the impurities behind to eventually flush down the drain. Because of the heat involved in the process of creating steam, all forms of bacteria and all water borne diseases are destroyed. Distilled water is the only form of water, which is free from all contaminants and impurities. Distilled water is the only clean water. Virtually everything is removed from the water by steam distillation. Seven brands we tested run from 2 - 12 PPM contaminants. That’s about as clean as you can get. Dr. Michael Colgan, Optimum Sports Nutrition. “Do I need to tell you why drinking plenty of good quality water is as essential to health as eating properly? In a nutshell: one of the main activities of the body’s self-healing system is filtration of the blood, a job performed mostly by the kidneys which a little help from the mechanism of perspiration. Kidneys are such efficient, compact and miraculous filters that they put to shame the dialysis machines used the maintain the patients with renal failure. The heart, blood, and kidneys are a single functional unit the constantly cleanses and purifies itself, removing all the toxic wastes of metabolism and the breakdown products of harmful substances that get onto our bodies one way or another. This purification system can operate efficiently only if the volume of water flowing through it is sufficient to carry away the waste. Further, as good quality steam distilled water enters the body, it has the ability to pick-up mineral deposits accumulated in cells, joints, artery walls, or wherever such deposits occur and begin to carry them out. Gallstones and kidney stones then decrease, and it also lessens arthritic pain as joints become more supple and movable.” Dr. Andrew Weil, Natural Health, Natural Medicine. There are two forms of minerals, organic and inorganic. Inorganic minerals refers to non-vegetable or non-animal matter, i.e. not living. This included carbonate and lime compounds, calcium, iron and magnesium. Because these components are non-living, our bodies can no make use of these minerals and our cells reject them. The result of ingesting these minerals is an accumulation of debris in our bodies. Organic minerals on the other hand are living, and are found in vegetables, fruit, seeds, grains, meats, and nuts which form our daily diet. These are easily assimilated by our cells and are essential for good health. If you rely on water a source of your required minerals,you are sadly lacking. The minerals in water are inorganic, and the body cannot make use of them. The body continually assimilates the much needed minerals from the food we eat. No, this is physiologically impossible. Some have been lead to believe that because distilled water is so pure, it will leach healthy minerals and trace elements from the body. Distilled water will do this with pipes. In our bodies distilled water cleans out our impurities and replenishes the essential nutrient required for human life; pure, clean, healthy water. Our cells use the organic minerals for body growth and maintenance; however, the impurities that the body cannot make us of are flushed out with distilled water. Distilled water flushes out all the inorganic minerals and pollutants which would otherwise be retained in the body and accumulate in vital organs such as liver, kidneys, intestines and fatty tissue. These minerals and pollutants are gradually increased by drinking impure water. A continuous or prolonged exposure to these minerals and pollutants may cause carcinogens to form within tissues. The cancer may only manifest itself months, years or even decades after such contacts have ceased. And often the causative agents may have totally disappeared from the tissues. It has become apparent that pollution and contamination exist within our drinking water. With the amount of sewage dumped into drinking water sources, many water borne diseases are present in the so-called “treated” drinking water. This leaves our bodies wide open to diseases.The viruses of major concern in relation to drinking water are those of intestinal origin, excreted by infected animals or humans, which reach water resources by way of the soils unlimited potential for serious disease and contamination of the human body. Canadian Nutrition Guide.Don’t take unnecessary risks, Drink Healthy, Drink Distilled. To be Sure, several drinks of local tap water will not kill you, but common sense will tell you that your body cannot function and survive with daily ingestion of poison.
