Guest guest Posted January 21, 2002 Report Share Posted January 21, 2002 Emryldgea, Boil the tap water to a heavy rolling boil. Pour through a coffee filter into a sterilized glass jar. (Stick the coffee filter into a funnel stuck in the jar. Gallon juice jars are the easiest to use.) Allow to cool thoroughly before using. Be very very careful you don't burn yourself.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2002 Report Share Posted January 21, 2002 Hi Denise, Emryldgea, Michelle, Sandy.. all (whew!!!), We don't have a home distiller and hey you guys, I'm JEOLOUS! lol We " do " have a water purification system, and it's helped a lot, but we still don't drink the stuff, yup, Florida water's bad.. Ugh!!!!!!!!!! Be careful of boiling the water, ........please!!!!!!!!! When I lived in Connecticut, our water was from the well and tested and tasted great.. however, .............there was a fairly new housing development, maybe 20 or so homes, and when their water was tested, it was found that there were pesticides in the water and any " boiling " of the water only intensified them, filtering or not. Result? Our town, far as I know, to this day still provides bottled/spring water to these houses and everyone was told, DO NOT BOIL this water! Surprising, till we realized, due to more education, that while some things in water boil right out.......others get much stronger... so be careful. Good luck to you........... Hugs, Marilyn PS - Any/all bottled water should have an expiration date on it, we always check.. if it doesn't, don't buy it. And yes, we stock up...........

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 It is my understanding that 4.5 ozs. within each half-hour or so is as much water as the kidneys can process efficiently.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 not really. if we drink upto 1-1.5 litres of water first thing in the morning then it will flush the system clean over a few days. ie: 2-3 weeks. plus you do not need to drink lots of water during the day unless you are thirsty. it takes some practise before you can develop this habit. but it can be done safely.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Hi Yeah, I've heard that drinking too much water is a method of suicide by some ppl in some cultures in history. Now, I'm sure that would take an awful lot. Dunno how much, though, as I've never done any digging on the subject. My gut reaction is, simply stop when your body tells you to. herbal remedies , " bcamlps " <bcamlps@h...> wrote: > Hi Everyone > > In some of the earlier posts it has been mentioned that you can > overdose on water.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Here is an interesting article about water overdose. Can I Overdose on Water? Can drinking too much water harm me? By Elizabeth Somer, MA,RDNews Archive I like to drink about a dozen 8-ounce glasses of water every day. But I heard recently that a few people have died from drinking too much water. Could I be hurting myself? Oct. 23, 2000 -- No. And you are unlikely to ever meet someone who has overdosed on water. You would need to chug down about three quarts of water or more all at once to come down with a case of true water intoxication. It does happen, but so rarely that I couldn't find statistics on the number of cases. These people become drowsy, lightheaded, and weak. They have trouble coordinating bodily movements and thinking straight, looking and feeling as if they just stumbled out of the local bar. But the water-intoxicated can't just go home and sleep it off. They must get treatment or risk going into convulsions, a coma, or even death. What most Americans actually need to worry about is getting the eight glasses of water nutrition experts recommend (that's eight 8-ounce glasses). They suggest even more for athletes or people living in hot climates. While it may seem like a lot, it really isn't when you recognize that water accounts for up to 80% of your body weight and plays an integral role throughout in the smooth functioning of your body's vital systems. It's no wonder, then, that falling short of the daily recommendation may make you ill. At first, you might feel thirsty and tired. Left unchecked, dehydration will progress with a loss of appetite, nausea, tingling in the arms and feet, labored breathing, dizziness, and possibly mental confusion.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 That's an interesting article. I usually drink 12 - 18 8oz glasses spread over the day. Occassionally I get 'real thirsty' and drink nearly that much at once. Never had those symptoms though.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 It can cause you're kidneys to fail. This sometimes happens to people on X because they are hot hot hot and don't realize how much they are drinking. But it takes a LOT. Example, I've read that the min water intake should be half of your weight as ounces (ex. I weigh 145lb, I should drink about 72 ounces of water a day). That's a bootload of water and that is my minimum (I rarely manage to drink that much though). It's not something you really do by accident.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 A few days ago I had that 'real thirsty' feeling (this happens maybe 2 or 3 times a year) and ate a couple of oranges instead of drinking, then it was gone.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Plain old soda water is not good for anyone.

Never had those symptoms though. I feel that drinking that amount you state above at once is BAD! Where you are saying you get 'real thirsty' I think is a concern that you may be experiencing some problem, similar to mine below. I believe you should drink a glass hourly. I have had water intoxication! Was hospitalised back in 1998 with suspected diabetes insipidus. I could not walk without holding onto walls, had no balance etc, dizzy all sorts of stuff. Due to a big move with all my animals I was under stress and drank a lot of water and soda water, and the more you drink it throws your thirst hormone out of whack and it just keeps telling you that you are more thirsty. The only treatment I know of is to just monitor and reduce the fluid intake. Course they kept testing my blood sugar and other blood tests for the week I was there, and for a while I was a 'mystery' patient hehehe.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 We have to drive 12 miles to a water store, lugging 5-gallon bottles, fill them, and pay $0.35 per gallon for our drinking water because we will not drink the water from our tap. Our local water company issues a notice about once a year stating that the water in our pipes is over the EPA limit for coliform bacteria and WAY over the limit for chlorine....They're adding more chlorine because of the bacteria, and then the water is too basic (pH too high) so then they have to acidify it...and so it goes. It's just nasty however you look at it. Years ago, before the information was being made available, we were drinking our tap water and my sons were having intestinal problems. We switched to bottled water and within two weeks, the boys were fine again. I just wish we didn't have to bathe in this stuff. I'm researching chlorine filters that can be attached to the shower head, so if anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears. jaime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
