Distilled water info

[Guest guest]

I am sure there will always be a controversy in water. I drink the distilled

because I know I am getting vital nutrition from other sources. I WON'T drink

any other and haven't for over 15 years. I might suggest when consuming the

water to add the lemon. I may have posted this before, I am sorry for repeating,

but someone might have missed it.

 

Peter you can order the book Water Can Undermind Your Health by Dr. Norman

Walker. I have all of this wonderful books:)

LEMONS FOR BALANCED HEALTH

 

 

Although acidic to the taste, the humble lemon promotes health with a highly

alkalinizing effect on the body, and is therefore of great benefit during the

cold and flu season, when the body is typically over-acidic.

 

In a state of 80% alkalinity and 20% acidity, or perfect blood chemistry, the

body is at its best form for resisting invading viruses and bacteria. This

state is determined by the food one eats. One highly acidic meal of potatoes,

white bread, meat and pie, with a sweete ned drink is enough to open one up to

an onslaught of determined microbial attackers. The scales of balance can be

tipped to the extreme and ruin weeks or months of conscientious eating in just

one hour. Logic tells us that a little can't hurt, because we have behaved so

well for so long, but in fact, it only takes one such meal to leave us open to

infection.

 

The key here is balance. Why do so many children get sick right after

Halloween? Many of these children are strong, healthy specimens who suddenly

come

down with something within a week of the big sugar fest. The same can be said

for

those adults who attend holiday parties and indulge in acidic sugary foods

which are not a normal part of their everyday diet.

 

Okay, so it doesn't seem fair that we can't have a little holiday fun with

foods. Folks who have given up smoking, drinking, red meat and other sins feel

just a little miffed that they can't indulge in the only thing left to them –

party or comfort food. I can't blame them, but they should know that

over-indulgence in anything will only lead one to dire consequences.

 

The state of any individual's health is determined by the state of the blood.

Is it healthy? Is it clean? Does it have the right constituents to nourish

the brain and body? The Bible states that the life (physical life), is in the

blood. What we eat is digested and affects the state of the blood. Oxygen, iron,

chlorophyll and hundreds of other components all affect the constitution of

blood.

 

So, if we ingest things that upset our internal chemistry just because they

taste good, we must also think about balancing the negative effects of those

foods. In scientific lab tests it has been found that viruses have a difficult

time growing when introduced to a solution that is 20% acid and 80% alkaline,

but multiply abundantly when put in a sugary acidic solution. When we

over-indulge in sweets we are creating a blood chemistry where the bad microbes

and

viruses get more than enough nourishment to multiply and conquer any defense

system we may have left. If we already have a compromised immune system caused

by

exposure to pollution, radiation, drugs and other chemical or environmental

toxins, the bad guys will quickly get the upper hand.

 

Holistic food scientists such as Bernard Jensen have spent years in

determining which foods are alkaline and which are acidic. Many of those foods

which we

would consider alkaline, actually have an acidic reaction in the body and

vice-versa. In order to become more efficient at maintaining our bodies in top

working order, it is necessary to study the alkaline/acid balancing act that our

blood chemistry must preform every day with the fuel we give it. Some health

food stores are now selling highly alkalinized drops to add to water which

tips the scale in the users favor. Colloidal minerals sold in liquid form also

accomplishes this purpose.

 

In future issues we will explore this area in more detail, but now I want to

praise the humble lemon for it's ability to quickly change acidic conditions

to alkaline. When a person becomes sick with an infection they almost

invariably reach for a lemon-flavored drink or a bit of lemon squeezed in

comforting

herbal tea. Honey and lemon is mixed together for cough relief, both liquid and

in cough drops. Lemon can work many household cleaning miracles, but the very

best miracle is the neutralizing alkaline action on acidic internal body

systems.

 

As this holiday season rolls around, make sure your pantry is stocked with

lemons as well as all the other goodies associated with holiday cooking. Make a

daily fresh lemonade with a little natural sweetener like maple syrup. Sip on

it through the day and help keep your acid/alkaline balance in a defensive

position.

 

For those women afflicted with candida and yeast overgrowth infections, the

alkaline balance becomes a very serious matter. For this condition I recommend

two dietary supplements in addition to food balancing. They are: Primadophilus

(friendly bacteria) and Solaray's Caprylic Acid, made from alkaline coconut

oil. I stand behind these from personal experience.

 

I haven't met a person yet who was perfect in their eating choices, but we

can all strive to listen to our bodies and give them the things they need in

order to create balance and harmony between and within our many miraculous body

systems. Food should be prepared and processed as simply as possible. Raw food

should constitute a large proportion of daily intake as enzymes needed for

digestion are destroyed by cooking.

 

We are what we eat. If we fed animals the same diet we eat, they would

quickly sicken and die. When we were created, food was also in a natural state

and

needed little preparation. The craftiness of advertising has transformed

perhaps a couple hundred basic foods into thousands of stale creations that

require

chemicals to preserve shelf life. Ironically, they won't preserve ours.

Reference Manual entitled " Biological Theory of Ionization " by Dr. Carey A.

Reams. In it, Reams said, " lemon juice is the only anionic substance, the only

natural hydrochloric acid on earth, that I know of " .

He further went on to explain: " it's anionic, electrons travel clockwise, all

food we eat are cationic with the exception of lemon and if there is another

I never found it, when it goes into the system it can be converted into some 6

billion different enzymes with less chemical change than any other natural

substance known to man " .

Lemon juice taken with water he claimed-- " taken periodically helps the

liver. It takes 18 hours to form an amino acid in your body, that's one of the

reasons you need that small little shot of lemon juice, for your liver, spread

throughout the day. Lemon juice is nothing more than dilute hydrochloric acid " .

be ready in one month there will be a book out about water that will make you

fully understand and apreciate water more than any other book out there.

In my opinion, the problem with dogmatic statements about distilled water is

that it doesn't take into account all the great water available.

 

I live in rural upstate New York. Most homes are serviced by wells and most

of those wells are very, very deep. The water that is pumped into the house

is fantastic! Yes, there are some wells that are high in mineral content,

but most well water is great.

 

By making statements that distilled water is the only way to go is

misleading. Between the depth of the well and the heavy clay soils in many

parts of the country, ground water contamination doesn't have a chance to

effect deep wells.

 

A blanket statement might prevent an otherwise uneducated person to drink

the good water they have available to them.

 

To say good water is hard to come by sounds like it might be spoken by

someone who lives on treated or city water. Most of the country is rural.

Look at a population density map. Rural IS the rule, not the exception.
