Should I Use a Commercial Water Distiller?

Posted By Jackie (grnd rapids, minn) on 08/15/2007

I have a water distiller unopened in the box. i am asking an opinion if this should be returned or if i could use it to make a few gallons and add minerals to it. I like the distiller since it says it removes everything. i have checked into the water filters , types. of course all say theirs is the best and it gets so confusing.Also the distiller was the most affordable. i am really concerned about the fluoride and chlorine. years ago, the water works would every once in a while add too much chlorine to the water and you could smell the chlorine as you ran tap water and we would drink it! That was before any water filters were available. I'm especially concerned because the mining company will be opening a new steel plant here and are having discussions about how it will effect 4-5 different lakes and streams as well as contamination underground as well as burdening the existing water treatment plant as well as the impact on fish and wildlife. another thing i thought of is to draw out a few gallons of drinking water from the tap, treat it with edta and borax and just forget about the microorganisms and eat 1/2 cup of cilantro a day. Would this be safe to do everyday?I don't have any big health issues other than fatigue, sore joints and depression which are 90% better with your basic remedies, Ted. Since i've been alkalizing i feel so much better in all areas. thanks in advance.

8/15/2007: jackie from grnd rapids, minn submitted a question, butI don't see the answer. I have the same question. If I use a countertop dsitiller then helpful minerals will be removed. How do I add them back?
