Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Well Kat, lol - I feel pretty strongly in favor of DW. I don't know anything about muscle testing but if it works for you then I understand your feelings. I think your ill friend got " sick " on distilled water because it was flushing out poisons (that she obviously had) too quickly. She probably should have stayed with it maybe in reduced quantities rather than the sudden 8 glasses a day. So her getting " sick " on DW is no proof that it is bad for her and especially not proof that it is bad for a person in normal health. The photos showing the difference between DW and non-DW are impressive in that they show that the distillation process eliminated inorganic minerals. The author makes no attempt to explain why a frozen water that crystalizes is good and one that does not is bad. There is no such explanation possible because the supposition is incorrect. There is no study of any kind to show that DW leaches nutrients from the cells. Period. Mercola (who promotes Chet Day who sells filtering stuff and no doubt gives a kick-back) goes so far as to say that a woman on DW began losing hair in clumps. I'm ashamed of Dr. Mercola and in fact question his integrity on the matter. Anybody can become mineral defficient if they don't get them in their food (organic) or in a good supplement. It certainly does not show that DW actually leached minerals from her cells. That is preposterous. People also lose hair because of hypo adrenal and thyroid glands. Now one may choose to believe that DW is bad in spite of the lack of any evidence to indicate it (thousands of people are doing it incuding me for 9 years and I'll be 76 years of age next mo.) and one may follow ones own beliefs but I suggest to you that one has no right to scare people away from DW by claiming that there is some kind of proof that it is harmful. There is no such proof and in fact every reason to believe that pure DW is the healthiest water to consume. Of course someone selling other water purification methods will disagree but they have no legitimate way to knock distilled water but everything to gain by knocking it. Not you of course. Does anyone describe the mechanism by which DW leaches nutrients from the cells? No. Not even Dr. Mercola. I would think that DW is the more efficient water in that it does not carry a lot of junk minerals into the stomach and (the amount that is absorbed) is more efficiently absorbed into the bloodstream. Although inorganic minerals can stimulate they cannot be absorbed by the body. In the case of non-DW the type of minerals present will likely be too much of some and/or not enough of others (depending on the source) and all inorganic. I'm doing fine on distilled water and would not consider changing without some evidence that I have not yet seen. Ron P.S. I wonder if your daughter got her info from her own knowledge or from something she read that is unavailable on the internet?
