Distilled water is the best water we could ever drink. It only removes inorganic minerals and toxins, not the minerals our bodies need. The minerals we need come from real food. We have been told many lies. I'm really disappointed to see earth clinic telling people to not drink distilled water. I have been researching for a long time, and the benefits are never-ending. I do take shilajit for trace minerals 4 days a week. The rest comes from food. There is a difference between organic and inorganic minerals. One favorite website is www.aquariusthewaterbearer.com. But there are many more as well.

Unfortunately you are wrong about distilled water. Minerals such as sodium magnesium and potassium (Na Mg and Ka) are elements from the periodic table and are known as minerals and are needed by living beings to survive. Many people have died from excessive hydration and distilled is the worst. Water cannot differentiate between what we need and what we dont need.

The healthiest water comes from springs known for their healing powers since antiquity. Mineral waters such as Henniez, San Pellegrino, Evian etc.

>> Water cannot differentiate between what we need and what we don't need.

Ah, perhaps true. But water does not have a living Spirit within it. We humans all have an Ego, with intelligence, and it does things that science has yet to appreciate or replicate. So if you want to ignore the spiritual side of things, fine - you will be missing out on the other side of the coin, to your detriment. There is much more to life and every process than just what the materialists think and believe. Occult scientists know this is absolutely true.

She's not wrong, look into the difference between organic and inorganic minerals. If you knew it would destroy your argument which just rephrased the article. Your body can't absorb inorganic minerals that they add to water or come from water naturally, only those from food. People need to realize they've been trying to give us all cancer from the beginning, I mean there's pesticides in water and they ADD fluoride. It's in “baby water” at Walmart. Drink the equivalent of rain water like the natives.

So what now? What are we to do with all the contradictory information we have been reading and receiving over the years? It has been all over the map.

Will the jury ever come to a decision?

As far as I am concerned, EarthClinic dot com has become one of the most reliable sources of info in the matter of efficient natural remedies.

I know it is asking a lot, but could an authority figure here, such as Ted who I hope is rapidly regaining in health, help us cut this gordian knot?

Thank you in advance and wishing the best to all.

GRIZELLE,,,,,,,,,, depends on your question. Distilled water has no dissolved solids, thus, it is a solvent and will adsorb any mineral over time. It you use distilled water to make your coffee, you will never have to clean the elements in your pot. But if you use well water, full of minerals, like we do, then the elements will soon cake over with minerals and you will have to clean it with vinegar or some acidic fluid.

The same goes for your body. We not only drink well water, but we put that through an alkaline ionizer and get a double dose of minerals. We take mineral baths and spray our bodies down with magnesium oil to up take it in trans dermally. We want the minerals. We need it.

Condensate from steam lines is distilled water and will eat the calcium out of the concrete it falls on. Soon there will be a large hole where the condensate drops.

I think there are some reasons to drink distilled water. If I had the Gout, then that would be my choice. There is a reason folks have bathed in hot mineral water since the beginning of time. They needed the minerals for health.

In my youth in Arkansas, the Mafia declared Hot Springs as no man's land. Folks from all over the world went there to get well. Gangsters from all over the nation went there for their health without fear of violence. Last time we took the baths I wanted to cry. All but one of the bath houses had been closed. All you need now it a pill of some kind. Big Pharma has the answer for everything.

Don't think I have given you peace of mind, but now you know there is no simple one answer to your del lima. It depends on your health situation. Read and read some more.

Hello Robert, (update below)

This was such a good read for me. I am going to try the mineral baths if I can do that at home. I will look for answers on what to use in the water (minerals right, lol) but I so wish we had a place like you spoke of Robert. thank you so much for sharing your info.

I looked around the internet for how to make a mineral bath, and saw Epsom Salt. I also saw something on Magnesium Chloride being the best and most absorbable. Would you recommend a spray for me? There are so many online I am not sure, and some are spendy of course, so I want to get as close to a good one as I can? And what about to bathe in? Epsom Salt or whatever you and your wife use? I would so appreciate the help deciding, Denise

11/18 - I ordered the Flakes instead of crystals, and didn't notice until after the fact. I see in your list it says crystals. Hope this won't make a dif. Also, I did find another brand of the spray where I could get twice as much for the dollars, so I ordered that after reading the label. The Flakes are Ancient Minerals brand. So using half Epsom Salt must work fine even though it's the sulfate type. Or maybe it is because we wouldn't want too much of the magnesium absorbing at once? Anyway, I am very anxious to try it. The Flakes are arriving on Tuesday, and I'll pick up the Epsom Salt at Walmart, probably same day. ty again

DENISE,,,,,,,, here is our bath formula.

1. bottle of hydrogen peroxide

2. cup of baking soda

3. cup of epsom salt

4. cup of magnesium chloride crystals.

Take a cloth and pull the water over your exposed body.

For taking magnesium trans dermally. Spray your body down with magnesium and shower in 20 minutes. Your heart will thank you. We use Ancient Minerals Magnesium.

Thank you so much, I saw that brand I'm sure so I will go look for it again! Also, the chloride crystals. I can't wait to try the spray, but the baths are going to be wonderful too! I just have one other question which I could probably google, but I like the feedback/info I get on EC the best. I now ingest my magnesium glycinate 2 x 200 mg and my Magnesium Citrate 2 x 100 mg so 600mg per day with no ill effects. I don't know how much more I will absorb by doing the bathes and spray so I just don't want to overdue, what do you think? thank you again.

DENISE..

The effect of too much magnesium is diarrhea (I'm speaking from experience here. I was having frequent Epsom salt baths and wrongly thought my body would only absorb what it needed.)

I had this result..after which time I cut back the frequency and concentration to return to a normal balance.

If you get to that point just cut back on quantity or frequency.

Replied By Denise (Us) on 11/20/2018

Hello Jay, I will be careful and had planned to do maybe 2 baths a week. I so appreciate you sharing your experience. Denise

DENISE,,,,,,,,,, almost all are delinquent of magnesium. Due to my bowels I take Magnesium L-Threonate, a compound devised by MIT folks.

JAY,,,,,,,, you gave sound advice because your body does tell you things. However, some magnesium compounds cause more bowel problems than others. Took me several years to appreciate that and the reason I take the particular magnesium that I do.

We all know from our youth that milk of magnesium is a laxative. But regardless, magnesium helps keep your heart rhythm right, etc., etc.

Robert Young was just sentenced to 3 years in prison and has to pay 105 million for trying to help a cancer patient. He is the pH Miracle Guy of years ago. I have his book and think he is right on, except he messed with Big Medicine.

Yesterday, I had an Alpha Lipoic Acid IV for my peripheral neuropathy and in the room was a missionary that the Aliphatic MD's had burned up with Chemo. His was a sad story, but he was just thankful to have found an integrative doctor that would help him.

When I have a serious medical procedure, my doctor always ask if he can pray with me. Are you kidding? I will accept that help for certain.

Friends and neighbors, my integrative doctor only gets people that are in their last days after their immune system is shot and their regular doctor tells them to go home and get their paper work in order.

He is a God fearing man. We need more.

I have been drinking distilled water since 1981. I am the healthiest person I know. I am also a vegetarian since then as well. Perhaps it works differently for different people. BTW, for those who might be curious, I have Scorpio rising and it is the strongest sign in the zodiac. That certainly doesn't hurt.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I'm thinking about the laws of nature on this subject. Nature works with distilled water, sun..clouds...rain. This was the reason for me to switch to drinking distilled water.

Pure clean water coming down to earth, seems to be the best thing to drink.

Got very confused by all the different views about this topic, and your answer is worth gold. Thank you for sharing it!

Have been drinking only distilled water for a year and my energy level is rising!!
