Distilled Water

[Guest guest]

Hi Gea,

 

He is right, water cant go bad unless its contaminated. I have one of those

stands that I put one of those huge bottles on, and its always fine. Its so

much better than tap water, it does not last long, but I clean it with a

bleach water once in a while.

Dear Sue,

The only time Distilled Water gets toooooo acidic is when it is left

out without a cover since it picks up CO2 very easily.

As soon as you make your distilled water, put it into an old gallon

Apple Juice Glass Bottle, put the top on it, and you'll have no pH

problems with it.

As far as the N system you mentioned below, I am down on all MLM and

this one is no exception.

Distilled stored in Glass Bottles is BEST.

Yours in Knowledge, Health and Freedom,

Doc

According to your post you feel that DW is best but what do you think

of these N filter systems?

I value your opinion.

Sears had a cheap little unit for around $150.

Check out their website and let us all know.

Unless you're drinking a ton of the stuff and not eating nutritious

meals, I can't see distilled being a problem.

I'm been using distilled for over a dozen years, and use it to make

teas, etc as well.

Nary a problem. Also, no problem with the thousands of people I've

recommended it to.

You just need to use your noggin as with anything else.

You can die from too much water. It's called drowning. :-)

Best,

Doc

PS. For your low potassium you should be on the Body Balance+ Formula

as in the Files.

Dear Doc.....

 

I was recently hospilalized for irregular heartbeat.

Blood test shown my potassium was low possibly

causing this problem.

I eat healthy and an avid believer in vitamins and

supplements.I researched possible causes for depletion

and found that besides other meds.etc. that one should

not drink "distilled"water as all the minerals our body

requires are removed. This is the only water I`ve drank

in over 12 yrs. Is there some supplement that can be

added to this water.

Note: I live in the country and use well water as my supply.

 

Thank You....

Early Death Comes From Drinking Distilled Water

by Zoltan P. Rona MD MSc

 

During nearly 19 years of clinical practice I have had the opportunity

to observe the health effects of drinking different types of water.

Most of you would agree that drinking unfiltered tap water could be

hazardous to your health because of things like parasites, chlorine,

fluoride and dioxins.

 

Many health fanatics, however, are often surprised to hear me say that

drinking distilled water on a regular, daily basis is potentially

dangerous.

 

Paavo Airola wrote about the dangers of distilled water in the 1970's

when it first became a fad with the health food crowd.

 

Distillation is the process in which water is boiled, evaporated and

the vapor condensed. Distilled water is free of dissolved minerals

and, because of this, has the special property of being able to

actively absorb toxic substances from the body and eliminate them.

 

Studies validate the benefits of drinking distilled water when one is

seeking to cleanse or detoxify the system for short periods of time (a

few weeks at a time).

 

Fasting using distilled water can be dangerous because of the rapid

loss of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) and trace minerals

like magnesium, deficiencies of which can cause heart beat

irregularities and high blood pressure. Cooking foods in distilled

water pulls the minerals out of them and lowers their nutrient value.

 

Distilled water is an active absorber and when it comes into contact

with air, it absorbs carbon dioxide, making it acidic. The more

distilled water a person drinks, the higher the body acidity becomes.

 

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, " Distilled water,

being essentially mineral-free, is very aggressive, in that it tends

to dissolve substances with which it is in contact.

 

Notably, carbon dioxide from the air is rapidly absorbed, making the

water acidic and even more aggressive. Many metals are dissolved by

distilled water. "

 

The most toxic commercial beverages that people consume (i.e. cola

beverages and other soft drinks) are made from distilled water.

Studies have consistently shown that heavy consumers of soft drinks

(with or without sugar) spill huge amounts of calcium, magnesium and

other trace minerals into the urine.

 

The more mineral loss, the greater the risk for osteoporosis,

osteoarthritis, hypothyroidism, coronary artery disease, high blood

pressure and a long list of degenerative diseases generally associated

with premature aging.

 

A growing number of health care practitioners and scientists from

around the world have been advocating the theory that aging and

disease is the direct result of the accumulation of acid waste

products in the body.

 

There is a great deal of scientific documentation that supports such a

theory. A poor diet may be partially to blame for the waste

accumulation. Meats, sugar, white flour products, fried foods, soft

drinks, processed foods, alcohol, dairy products and other junk foods

cause the body to become more acidic. Stress, whether mental or

physical can lead to acid deposits in the body.

 

There is a correlation between the consumption of soft water

(distilled water is extremely soft) and the incidence of

cardiovascular disease. Cells, tissues and organs do not like to be

dipped in acid and will do anything to buffer this acidity including

the removal of minerals from the skeleton and the manufacture of

bicarbonate in the blood.

 

The longer one drinks distilled water, the more likely the development

of mineral deficiencies and an acid state. I have done well over 3000

mineral evaluations using a combination of blood, urine and hair tests

in my practice. Almost without exception, people who consume distilled

water exclusively, eventually develop multiple mineral deficiencies.

 

Those who supplement their distilled water intake with trace minerals

are not as deficient but still not as adequately nourished in minerals

as their non-distilled water drinking counterparts even after several

years of mineral supplementation.

 

The ideal water for the human body should be alkaline and this

requires the presence of minerals like calcium and magnesium.

 

Distilled water tends to be acidic and can only be recommended as a

way of drawing poisons out of the body. Once this is accomplished, the

continued drinking of distilled water is a bad idea.

 

.... Disease and early death is more likely to be seen with the long

term drinking of distilled water. Avoid it except in special

circumstances.

I and my family have been drinking and cooking with distilled water for five

years. People don't believe that I don't color my hair, because at age 50 I

have no gray hair. The school nurse recently claimed, " Your kids are never

sick. " Besides the quotes below, here is a link for more information:

http://www.durastill.com/myths.html

 

Carolyn

" The only type of water that seems to be fit for consumption is distilled

water, which is water that is absolutely free of any minerals or chemicals.

Distilled water is made pure by first being heated to the point of vaporization,

so that all of the 'impurities' are left behind. Then, the water vapor is

condensed. The process results in water that is in its purest form. Distillation

is the single most effective method of water purification. "

A Diabetic Doctor Looks at Diabetes

Peter A. Lodewick, M.D.

" Water hardness (inorganic minerals in solution) is the underlying cause of

many, if not all, of the diseases resulting from poisons in the intestinal

tract. These (hard minerals) pass from the intestinal walls and get into the

lymphatic system, which delivers all of its products to the blood, which in

turn, distributes to all parts of the body. This is the cause of much human

disease. "

Dr. Charles Mayo of the Mayo Clinic

" The only minerals that the body can utilize are the organic minerals

[gotten from food]. All other types of minerals are foreign substances to the

body and must be eliminated. Distilled water is the only water that can be taken

into the body without damage to the tissues. "

Dr. Allen E. Banik, M.D.

The Choice Is Clear

 

" There are no essential nutrients dissolved in tap water which humans depend

on from this source for their survival or well-being. All essential nutrients

can be obtained from foods and proper dietary supplements "

Water - What's In It For You?

Allen McDaniels, M.D.

" The greatest damage done by inorganic minerals - plus waxy cholesterol and

salt - is to the small arteries and other blood vessels of the brain (75%

water). Hardening of the arteries and calcification of blood vessels starts on

the day you start taking inorganic chemicals and minerals from the tap water

into your bodies. "

I totally agree with you. I got moderated and severely berated by

the moderator of another group for saying what you are saying..

From what I have read and because the articles were by people I

respected with references too - I disagree with you both unless you

add minerals to the water. Do you add minerals to the water? It is

partly because of the minerals that I think that Reverse Osmosis is a

better water filtering process; especially if it has a few stages to

it which include a charcoal filter. But this is ONLY my personal

preference - I would suggest that everybody check water filters out

for themselves. Only they truly know what is best for themselves

considering all the things that need to be taken into consideration.
