Drinking water! Inorganic Vs. Organic minerals

[Guest guest]

Some say we can utilize inorganic minerals like the plants do from

our water. Others say we can not utilize inorganic minerals from our

water and therefor must use distilled. If we could utilize inorganic

minerals then we could just crush up some rocks and eat the powder. I

am a little confused on who is right?

Both and neither.

Minerals for electrolyte and pH balance reasons don't have to be organic,

but if the mineral is to be utilized in body proteins it has to at the

least be chelated or bonded somehow as in the proteins in the food we eat.

This is one of those debates that is really a non starter because there's

more than one system at work here and a blanket statement can't cover all

the variables.

Another such case is the Vitamin C controversy with the purists saying the

body only needs 50 mg of C Daily. Yes, Nutrionally perhaps, but for rinsing

mucus and lowering inflammation, therapeutic doses of much higher quanities

are effective.

HOWEVER, if you want to take those important trace minerals in an organic

form, add 20 drops liquid trace minerals to 1 cup of water and soak some

lentils in it and let them sprout.

The sprouts will contain the minerals you may need.

What I do is buy distilled water and add 20 drops of liquid trace minerals

per gallon and let the mineralized water sit in the sunlight for 4 hours. I

can give you no scientific reasons for this as there is no photosythesis

that we know of taking place but the water appears to be energized somehow.

How do you obtain your distilled water? Do you have a machine or buy

it at the store?
