I am using a marine calcium and mineral supplement and was told to add it to distilled water or reverse osmosis water to get better results in raising the ph to 10.5, because I am adding this supplement to the distilled water would you still say that distilled water is not good to drink for more than two days?. One serving size is 4.3 grams to 1/2 gallon of distilled water and sip on it throughout the day. I did notice great results in my blood under a dark field microscope in just a few weeks of using this product. Before I used this product my red blood cells were clotted together and were very stringy then after three weeks of dringking this product my red blood cells were perfectly round with white rings and nucleous in the center. So is the distilled water a bad thing to use long term??? thanks in advance for your feedback...." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/distilled_water.html&name=TED_27900 /Remedies/distilled_water.rss2 Sat, 06 Jun 09 06:22:51 -0500 Daniel from Seattle, WA writes: "Distilled water / Detoxification I feel compelled to comment on Ted's assertion that distilled water should only be taken for 1-2 days for the need of detoxifying heavy metals. If someone is found to be seriously contaminated with mercury or other heavy metals, the detoxification process can take several months and even up to 2 years. In some cases is must be done very, very slowly in order to keep the side effects to a minimum. I'm not sure about distilled water, but detoxification takes much longer than 2 days. Dr. Andrew Cutler has studied this for over 10 years, helping people recover from autism, CFS, fibromyalgia, and even misdiagnosed multiple sclerosis using his specific detailed protocol. A google search will turn up more information.

Long term used of distilled water is not healthy 2. Distilled water only short term use may help detoxify, but never use more than for a couple of days. 3. Distilled water depletes the body of bicarbonates, causing metabolic acidosis in the long run. 4. Some people use medicine added to distilled water to help absorption. This doesn't work for me because you are going from a lower concentration of distilled water to a higher concentration blood. Hence, more concentration of blood would not help absorption. 5. In Traditional Chinese medicine, and I agree, adding a small amount of salt (e.g. preferably sea salt) helps absorption of medicine better then without. The body absorbs substances along the intestinal lining using a mechanism called the sodium pump mechanism. Therefore, if there is sodium along with the supplements, they are then pumped into the body, thus increasing absorption. This is also a long recognized practice in traditional chinese and traditional based medicine. Additional Information NOT mentioned previously are: 1. Sea salt is the best detoxification as it corrects electrolytic imbalance 2. Sea salt solution generally works better then distilled water. 3. Allergies in general is best handled with a sea salt remedy. For example 1 teaspoon per glass of water. A distilled water may not work. 4. Most of the toxicity of drinking water we have today is from tap water with free metals that is causing the problems. Most tap water have this problem because of our faucets and old pipe plumbing. Hence some people thinks distilled water works better. In practice a bottled or mineral water will work better because, the manufacturers don't generally have any free metals due to stricter standards. 5. Some people who tries to avoid all the water by drinking a close alternative, Reverse Osmosis water, won't have the problem of free metals, and is close to distilled water. To restore some of the naturalness of water, a sea salt of 1/4 teaspoon and perhaps 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda is very helpful. I have found that the major source of magnesium in humans mostly come from our drinking water supplies, but this may need to be supplemented on occasion too.

Ted says at first distilled water is no good it causes the body to be acidic then he says its good it pulls all toxic materials out but leaves minerals you need. im confused on the consensus is distilled good or bad? what about ionized alkaline water? thanks." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/distilled_water.html&name=TED_19900 /Remedies/distilled_water.rss5 Fri, 23 Feb 07 00:00:00 -0600 Josh from writes: "Distilled water flushes nutrients from your body, and becomes acidic because it absorbs the CO2 from the air. I wonder how Ted feels about this?" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/distilled_water.html&name=TED_19899 /Remedies/distilled_water.rss6 Ted from Bangkok, Thailand writes: "Dear Anonymous: Anonymous writes: "We are drinking only purified/distilled water but a doctor told me this was no good because distilled water was leeching the minerals from the body and making one deficient in minerals but i told him we get the minerals from the food, not from the water." Distilled water does not leech minerals out of the body. This is an urban legend. The same is also true even if you take EDTA to get the heavy toxic metals out. Research shows that distilled water gets rid of free radical metals out of the body - the one that is not bound to any proteins. EDTA will not pull any metal out of any mineral bound protein either. This is also true of distilled water. What distilled water does do is it gets unneeded toxins out of the body. One problem remains, is that many brands of distilled water are not distilled water, if you read the find print or check directly with the company. Sometimes the fine print says, made from "filtered water". A distilled water is not filtered water, it is water that is boiled and the steam collected makes distilled water. Again, if you have a toxic metal buildup such as cadmium, mercury and arsenic, you best course of action to find the source, is certain canned foods. Also, air pollution is another source of cadmium. The reason is simple, many years back when gasoline had lead, the desire to remove lead from gasoline, was replaced by cadmium. So today, the lead is very low, but cadmium is very high from car and truck emissions whenever gasoline is burned. Perhaps the source of toxic metal also comes from air pollution. Your best source of action is to take chinese parsley (aka cilantro). There was a study that said that chinese parsley will completely remove free radical toxic metals within a course of 1 month. Of course the assumed dosages is probably 1/2 cup per day for 30 days. You can eat them with foods. I now use chinese parsley as a gold standard for removal of toxic metal. Even Japanese hospitals use it. "
