DISTILLED VS REVERSE OSMOSIS

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 10:38:32 EDT

[QUESTION] Maryanne from Seattle, Washington writes: "I have a question about water. I researched the entire water and distilled water section, but I am still a bit confused about what the best choice is. It seems that plain distilled or Reverse Osmosis water is not beneficial to health, but mineral water is the best. Of course I do want to remove dangerous chemicals such as Flouride and Chlorine, but not remove good minerals. What kind of water purifier is best? and what should I add to the finished water to provide minerals (is it sea salt?) I'm interested in an inexpensive countertop variety, if you cant say brand names, then just email me."

DISTILLED OR FILTERED WATER

Wed, 25 Feb 2009 00:00:00 EST

[QUESTION] Sean from New York, NY writes: "Hi. First let me just say that I'm new to this site and I think it's great. I'm going to start doing some of the remedies(ACV,BSM, oil pulling maybe). I've been reading a lot and I've noticed or it seems most people are using distilled water or some form of other water that doesn't have pollutants or as much in it. I don't know if I missed something but my question is...I know it may sound stupid but: Is it ok to use filtered water(using Brita) when using any of these remedies that I plan on using as mentioned above or with any remedy that is mentioned on your site? I just want to make sure that using the water filtered through the Brita is ok to use? Thank you."

REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER

Sat, 21 Feb 2009 00:00:00 EST

[QUESTION] Sam from Commerce Twp, Michigan/USA writes: "Adding minerals to Reverse Osmosis Water: Since R.O water lacks any minerals, is it still necessary to add a liquid mineral to R.O water if one is taking a good quality mineral supplement- in pill form. Also, I have been taking Apple Cider Vinegar, (2 teaspoons in 16 oz water),but since it is acidic, should I be adding baking soda to bring the ph up to 7-8 or doesn't it matter?"

YOGIC WATER TREATMENT

Thu, 15 Jan 2009 00:00:00 EST

[YEA] Ruma from Calcutta, India writes: "Try my yogic water treatment. It will have you feeling better and looking rejuvenated in a matter of days. When you wake up, try and drink at least a glass of water on an empty stomach. In a hot climate, you may try and work your way to two glasses of water. This is not as easy as it sounds. Don't worry if it takes a few days to get to your target amount of water. Having finished drinking your water, stand up gently and stretch your hands above your head as far as they will go. Stand on your tiptoes to elongate the stretch. If you are feeling slightly sluggish (very possible since this is first thing in the morning), walk around the room on your tiptoes with your hands stretched in the air. Otherwise, you can just stretch up and then down again. Do this for a couple of minutes and then gently lower yourself to the floor, lowering your hands as well. Then stand with your feet apart and stretch gently from side to side. Do this a couple of times but do so gently. Last of all, with your feet slightly apart, stretch your hands to the side. Pretend you have a piece of cloth held tight in your hands and stretched behind you. Twist around to face backwards and try and keep this imaginary cloth as taut as possible. If you find this stretch too easy, then let go off the "cloth" at the end moment and grab one hand on one of your shoulders and the other on the side of the rib cage. Do this a couple of times each side. This entire routine should take no longer than four or five minutes. The idea behind this is that the water that you drink hydrates and cleans out your internal organs, rejuvenating your body and bringing light and life to your face. "

DECONTAMINATING WATER

K.Lynn from Mt.Healthy, Ohio writes: "I'm confused over the healthy drinking water debate. could someone please tell me, as I've been boiling our water on the stove for 5-10 minutes after boil to decontaminate. we have traditional city water but it tastes horrible from all the additives. Do I need to add anything after boiling to make it healthier? Thankyou"

[YEA] Andreina from Roma, Italy writes: "In the morning, I mix 1Tbl ACV with a pint of water, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. I put it in a bottle and drink it throughout the day. I repeat the prosedure in the afternooon, so I drink 2 pints a day. It cures everything (my acne, sore throat, stomach ache, dry skin, sore joints...etc) I\'ve been doing this for 3 months, and have dropped 7.5 kilograms! I <3 water! Be sure to mix it with salt and vinegar, so you don\'t lose vital nutrients, and sodium!"

[YEA] Mahesh from Los Angeles, USA writes: "After reading Dr. Batman\'s findings and the transcript of his interview, I immediately got into Water Therapy. After I began to drink 2 liters of water a day with about a teaspoon of added crystal sea salt (non refined), I found that on the 3rd day my skin felt soft and supple. I shower in hot water (not warm) on cold mornings and that used to dry my skin to the point of terrible itchiness all over the body including my butts and I either had to satisfy myself (satisfaction = a scratch for every itch) or I had to apply mosturizing cream all over my body. I could see dry dead cells fall of my chest and abdomen area every time I removed my banian or T-Shirt. I no longer have any visible dry and/or flaky skin and the skin feels smooth & supple. My butts feel very soft to the touch. My skin now glows and is radiant. I guess I am done with moisturizers (no more of harmful chemicals to be rubbed on my skin). Also, I sleep better at night. "

[YEA] Jared from Portland, Oregon writes: "After my last gout attack and starting my self on a PH balancing regiment with ACV and Baking Soda. During the summer months, I tend to buy a lot of filtered bottled water (not distilled). One day I was reading a label very closely and they state that this water has added potassium and sodium bicarbonate to replace the minerals lost through sweat. As a benefit, the ph is 9. So for those looking for a portable bottled water to help with disolving uric acid, Essentia touts increased alkakinity for health. The same ideal that Ted preaches. It helps me maintain a healthy PH when I can\'t added Baking soda to water. For more info. http://www.essentiawater.com/info.html "

[YEA] Edna from Fukuoka City, Japan writes: "Water therapy cured my sinus congestion. I seemed to have gotten a sinusitis after a bad cold 3 months ago. Tried the tomato tea and aple cider vinegar but they were good only temporarily. After about 3 weeks of apple cider vinegar my nasal congestion was worse. Somebody posted a water therapy cure in my egroup and I remembered this. Tried it and it really worked! After 4 days of water therapy I\'m breathing much more freely. Just concerned about those who haven\'t found a cure yet. Instructions on water therapy can be found at this link (is it ok to post this)? http://www.knowledgebase-script.com/demo/article-113.html The title of the article is Drink water on an empty stomach. Hope this helps.. P.S. I also tried the oil pulling one time but found that difficult for me. "

[YEA] Denise from Naples FL, USA writes: "I have had severe IBS for 6 years. Before that time I could eat anything, never a stomach problem and my health was excellent. Since then I have tried every diet there is with the results that if I eliminated anything acid including citric acid which is in a lot of drinks and foods I could get by but I was still severely affected by IBS. Just one week ago I decided to try only drinking bottled water because I suspected my tap water even though we have a filtration system. I have not felt this good in 6 years. I am able to eat things (chocolate) that I haven\'t eaten in years. I have not been able to eat any fruits, any juices, most vegetables, in the last 6 years. I have not started to put all of them back in my diet yet as I am taking things slowly but this has been a HUGE improvement. The water I have been drinking is from a natural spring but nothing expensive (64 cents a gallon). Drinking bottled water has also improved my husbands health as he has had a skin irritation for several years that doctors could not diagnose. We both thinks it\'s the chlorine in the water system. By the way it isn\'t just the water in Florida causing the problem because we both had our health problems begin in Delaware where we also had a water filter on the tap."

While nothing really helps, when I do not drink plenty of water, the pain and swelling get real bad when I stand or walk for any duration. Have been taking ACV/bs for 2 weeks now and so far no relief. But it is working on my Blood Pressure so I\'ll keep taking that. I just need a new knee."

[YEA] Lawrence from Green River, Wyoming writes: "I first got GER...D 5 years ago at age 75. The Dr. wrote GER on the paper, the clerk added a D to make it match the TV commercials. Was prescribed Nexium, took it for two weeks while researching acid reflux on the web. I concluded that acid is necessary for proper digestion. A Dr, Spreen wrote that the problem is low acid, especially for older people, he recommended juicing some ginger and taking a teaspoon a day. I found the ACV info and tried it with some success. I tried raspberry vinegar, it helps also. I tried Betain HCL pills and Twin Labs super enzyme caps with food, if it is fatty two pills work well. putting any vinegar on food helps me. Some people dip bread in fancy vinegars. Dr. Batmanj??? cured everything with water while he was in jail. If I have an acid attack during the day I start drinking water and keep on drinking it until the pain stops; it has always worked, sometimes it takes three half liter bottles. The LEF site claims Limonine cures some people."

[YEA] Max from Atlanta, Ga writes: "I\'ve been a vegetarian for many years. And although I\'m not 100% vegan, I rarely eat dairy (except yougurt). I get plenty of exercise and I don\'t smoke and I rarely drink (red wine once a month). In spite of all this, I have been suffering from CFS for the last 7 years. Through diligence and hard work, many of the symptoms have slowly faded away. Recently, I got one of Kevin Trudeau\'s books and in that book he talks alot about the wonders of apple cider vinegar and pure distilled water. I\'ve also researched this on the net and it all seems to be true. So for the last two weeks I\'ve been drinking 8 full glasses of distilled water everyday and I\'ve been taking 2 tablespoons of vinegar a day. I\'ve noticed some obvious improvements. The most significant thing that I noticed is that I no longer have such dry skin and my scalp isn\'t flaky anymore. Also, it seems I\'m sleeping better and I don\'t crave sweets has been lessened. Nonetheless, in spite of all the good news, I\'ve been experiencing something that\'s totally unexpected and very unusual. I\'m constipated. I\'ve never had a problem with constipation. Even in my worst days with CFS I was never constipated. But now, every other day it seems I\'m struggling to get something to come out. This is really baffling to me because I\'m drinking more water than ever before and I have more energy, yet I\'m suffering from constipation. Do you know what may be causing this?"

During her second pregnancy I suggested she drink seltzer water. I had read about it in a magazine.

A few weeks later she let slip she was mixing it with juice and was actually regular for once."

[YEA] John from Bakersfield, CA writes: "I\'ve had some bad bouts with gout. Anyone that has never had it, can\'t understand the pain associated with it. The best way for me to describe it, is it feels like you just broke your foot, ankle, or BIG TOE and now someone has put it in a vise and is tightening it in a slow torturous fashion. Most of the time before I get an episode, I will get an ever so slight \"twinge\" of pain, warning me that I had better start drinking copious amounts of WATER and lay off some of the things that have caused attacks in the past. But after its been a while between attacks, I\'ll sometimes forget exactly how excruciatingly painful it really was and not heed the numerous warnings, and before you know, it sneaks up from behind you, taps you on the shoulder and hits you right between the eyes!! (or should I say Big Toe) And says I told ya I was com\'in. So all in all, listen to your body and drink plenty of WATER. "
