Why do people prefer drinking mineral water

Simply put, out of the 80 different trace minerals, our bodies needs at least 10 minerals daily, to make hormones and enzymes. That's why eating vegetables is important as vegetables absorb the inorganic minerals from the soil and convert them to organic minerals that your body can readily use.

Due to the different osmolality levels in the body, if the water you drink lacks minerals, the existing minerals in your body will leach out, causing a mineral deficiency. This means drinking RO or distilled water is very dangerous.

So remember, a good water filter or purifier should give you H20 together with oxygen and dissolved minerals, but does not contain any parasites, viruses, heavy metals and chemicals.

Only the Seagull IV water purifier can REMOVE 99.99999% of all viruses, parasites, heavy metals and chemicals in the water, up till the last drop. This means you only change your filters, when no more water comes out. This cost saving yet highly effective security feature is the safest option for the whole family.

4 reasons you should not drink Distilled water

Distilled water is good for steam irons, car batteries and certain scientific uses, but it's not good for drinking. Here are the 4 reasons why:-

1. Removes dissolved oxygen in the water, making the water taste flat The reason why we enjoy teh tarik is because when the tea is pulled, oxygen re-enters the water - the same principle as water aeration in a fish tank.

2. Removes the dissolved minerals essential to good health. Distilled water being unstable will draw out the minerals from the body. Prolonged use of distilled water will cause loss of calcium & phosphorous and deterioration of the teeth and bone.

3. Boiling water does not kill all bacteria, and in fact increases the concentration of cancer causing volatile organics in the distilled water.

4. Distillers are bulky, expensive to buy, operate and maintain, and has a slow output of 20 litres a day.

But in a free enterprise, everyone will highlight the benefits but never the disadvantages.

Invest in a Nature Pure Purifier and enjoy truly the healthiest and safest water, you and your family can enjoy for the next 10 years - guaranteed!

Miracle Spring Water?

Conserving life-giving water to preserve nature
New Sunday Times, Malaysia
May 19, 2002

NST reported a case of “miracle spring water” supposedly near Gunung Jerai being contaminated with E. coli, a bacterium commonly found in human feces, and also with ‘insecticides and pesticides’ which could have originated from a nearby orchard, according to the report (NST, May9).

The alleged miracle water was dubbed as “health elixir”. However, based on test findings, everyone has now been strongly advised ”not to drink the water”.

Such a natural spring water source by any count is a “miracle” because very few, that are absolutely pure, are now accessible for use.

This point was very well brought forth last week in a lecture entitled “The secret life of water” at the Universiti Sains Malaysia.

It was delivered by Cailum Coats, a specialist on the subject, who said that water has a life of it’s own, indeed a “living substance”.

Coates was reiterating the position of one Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958) who regarded “water as the ‘original’ substance formed by the suble energies called into being through the ‘oriignal’ motion of the Earth, itself the manifestation of even more sublime forces”.

In his book, Living Energies (2001, Gateway Books), Coats quotes Schauberger: “The upholder of the Cycles which supports the whole of Life, is water. In every drop of water dwells a Deity, whom we all serve; there also dwells Life, the Soul of the ‘First substance – Water – whose boundaries and banks are the capillaries that guide it and in which it circulates”. Schauberger refers to water as the “Blood of Mother-Earth”. Born in the womb of the high forest.

Viewed from this perspective, water is undoubtedly sacred, and not just a commodity to be bought and sold, and wasted and mismanaged, as often is the case today.

As reminded by Coats: “With incorrect, ignorant handling, however, water becomes diseased, imparting this condition to all other organisms, causing their eventual physical decay and death, and in the case of human beings, their moral, mental and spiritual deterioration as well.” This more than aptly described what was happening to the so-called “miracle water” in the NST report.

It is quite clear that we have lost the innate sense that water is life-giving and has a life of it’s own, as argued by Schauberger.

“True spring water” is of the highest quality and most suited for drinking. It has very high percentages of dissolved carbon and minerals and is of vibrant blusih colour not evident in inferior waters.

Unfortunately few high-quality springs are left due to the destruction of the environment.

This being the case, we are left largely with less ideal drinking water. One example is distilled water, which is regarded as pure and devoid of any so-called “impurities”.

However, Coats described distilled water as having “no developed character and qualities”, being “a young, immature, growing entitiy, it grasps like a baby at everything within reach”.

This is because it tends to absorb the characteristics and properties of whatever it comes into contact with, including minerals and trace elements as well as other impurities. It even smells!

Drinking such immature water will cause the body’s store of minerals and trace elements to leach out, which can be debilitating over the long-term.

Another type of inferior water is meteoric or rainwater. Surface water from dams, reservoirs and rivers are of average quality compared to ground and seepage-spring water.

In short, only mature water, enriched with ‘raw minerals’, “can give, dispense itself freely and willingly, thus enabling the rest of life to develop”. Otherwise like an immature child, immature water just takes and does not give.

This statement of taking and not giving also describes the lackadaisical attitude of a majority of our population with respect to water.

We are largely unaware of the need to conserve as a way of giving back to nature what belongs to it. To make things worse, we have little regard for the environment epitomised by the high forest where good, clean water comes from.

Indeed Viktor Schauberger prophetically warned that a world, which exploited its recources rather than cherishing them, was doomed to destroy itself.

Maybe it is still not too late for us to avert this grim eventuality.
