For fatigue, mine went almost completely away when I switched to drinking ONLY mineral water (not the sparkling kind). I get it delivered now. It's expensive, but I no longer have the horrible fatigue where I couldn't even stand to wash dishes or make it up the hill to where I park my car. After only 2 days of drinking only mineral water, it was all gone. My hip, shoulder, and foot pain also have no reappeared. it's been over 7 months now.

Where do I buy this mineral water? Got a brand name? I have a very sick child that needs this. Thank you.Replied by Jayashrii from Nelson, New Zealand on 09/22/2015
Great news. I bought a distiller & put my water through that. Fatigue has vastly improved but I hadn't connected the two. Thank you.Replied by Karen from Sydney on 11/22/2015
You should use distilled water for your son....Go on you tube and post distilled water and you will get all the information you need...I've never felt better in my life since drinking it and I was pretty sick and run down...All the best to you and your son...I believe you can buy distilled water from the supermarkets etc where you are.Replied by Honey from Columbia, Sc on 03/31/2016
Are you still drinking the mineral water you have delivered?Replied by Carolyn from Hamilton, On Canada on 08/25/2016
No one should drink distilled water it has no minerals in it, it is "dead" water and very acidic. I drank it for several years and got very tired, naturopath told me Alkaline water is the best, it has the minerals still in it. Our body needs minerals.Replied by Ben from Kansas on 08/26/2016
Distilled water is the cleanest and best testing water there is. If you are worried about minerals just add a few drops of trace minerals to it.Replied by Timh from Ky on 08/27/2016
Distilled Water is simply purified water and yes, no benefits for consumption. It is recommended to add a sprinkle of powdered or a few drops of Ionic Major & Trace Minerals to correct this problem. Maybe not as good an option but a sprinkle of Sea Salt or Himalayan Pink Salk would suffice.For yrs I carbon filtered my tap water and found it insufficient as my metabolism seemed affected by fluoride. And sure enough this was the case because I started Ozonating 1 gal filtered water for 15-30 secs and my energy, as well as my kitties, went up.
I get my minerals elsewhere but I do add a few drops of Iodine to a gal of drinking water.

HI U Timh,,,,,,,,,,, you a better man than I. You went around the May Pole to tell folks that distilled water has no value. It does not have any value what so ever, except it does not contain any garbage.Folks are told to drink spring water because it contains lots of minerals. Distilled water has none. Distilled water has an affinity for calcium so it will remove that from your bones. Drink it long enough and you will end up with osteoporosis.
Won't say what I want to tell the advocates of distilled water except they have never studied chemistry.

I"m sorry it took me so long to find the questions on the mineral water. I'm able to get mine delivered in glass 2.5 gallon containers which I put in a water crock. The brand I buy is Mountain Valley Spring -- from a spring in Arkansas. But I found that any good mineral water does the same, and they have some in Trader Joe's now. And Whole Foods has some.Replied by Diane from California on 04/22/2017
I'm sorry this took so long. I had no way to know people were asking a question. Yes, I am still getting the mineral water delivered in 2.5 gallon glass bottles. I buy Mountain Valley Spring water. Whole Foods also has a brand of Italian Still Mineral water that is also in glass and much cheaper, and that was the first one I used so I know it's just as good as Mountain Valley in alkalinizing my body. Been on it for over 2 years now and it's been such a Godsend.Replied by Janet L. from Dublin on 03/28/2018

As I follow Ayurvedic principles I am aware that any bottled water, be it in glass or plastic is dead water. Very easily fixed. Buy blue bottles, dark blue or cyan blue, from the Warehouse. $2 each. Buy some corks. DO NOT USE METAL CAPS. Fill your bottle with tap or filtered water and leave outside for a few hours. It does not have to be in direct sunlight, just where the rays reach. This restructures the water. Very simple to do and the water tastes completely different. Normally I cannot tolerate water, but have no problem drinking 6-8 glasses of restructured water a day. AND BEST OF ALL IT DOES NOT COST A FORTUNE. Add one cupful to your kettle, cooking water, any other water. I splash it on my dry eyes as well while holding a mouthful of water. Very helpful. I use it in my espresso machine. Coffee tastes completely different. I know, I know, but I only drink one cappucino a day. I brought back from Germany mineral salts called Meinebase and add a cupful to the footspa. These salts regulate the pH balance of my body and much better than bicarb of soda. This help a lot. It will take one year but I will rebalance my immune system and wave goodbye to Sjogrens. Best of luck everyone, hope this helps.Replied by Molly Gentry from College Sta, TX on 01/05/2026
Carolyn, you can use distilled water with Le Marinier Grey Coarse Celtic Salt added. The salt contains ALL the minerals you need. You can also put a pinch of the salt under your tongue and absorb the minerals that way.
