Mineral water or mineral free water?. Mineral water tastes good and you pay a premium for it. So most people choose filtered, distilled or Reverse Osmosis water to drink.
But mineral free water (as with distilled and Reverse Osmosis) is unstable, and if the water you drink lacks minerals, it actually pulls out all the minerals from your bones, organs and cells in your body, leaving you mineral deficient.
If you lack vitamins, you fall ill but if you lack minerals, your cells become too acidic and you get Acidosis resulting in a serious disease!.
Water should have dissolved organic minerals and slightly alkaline, so that you can counteract the acidity of the toxins in the environment and eating meat and drinking alcohol.

Early Death from drinking Distilled Water
If you are still drinking and cooking with distilled water or buying carbonated drinks for your children, just be aware of the damage and danger this can pose to you and your family. Happy reading....
Early Death Comes From Drinking Distilled Water
http://www.ionizers.org/distilled_water.html
During nearly 19 years of clinical practice I have had the opportunity to observe the health effects of drinking different types of water. Most of you would agree that drinking unfiltered tap water could be hazardous to your health because of things like parasites, chlorine, fluoride and dioxins.
Many health fanatics, however, are often surprised to hear me say that drinking distilled water on a regular, daily basis is potentially dangerous.
Paavo Airola wrote about the dangers of distilled water in the 1970's when it first became a fad with the health food crowd.
Distillation is the process in which water is boiled, evaporated and the vapor condensed. Distilled water is free of dissolved minerals and, because of this, has the special property of being able to actively absorb toxic substances from the body and eliminate them.
Studies validate the benefits of drinking distilled water when one is seeking to cleanse or detoxify the system for short periods of time (a few weeks at a time).
Fasting using distilled water can be dangerous because of the rapid loss of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) and trace minerals like magnesium, deficiencies of which can cause heart beat irregularities and high blood pressure. Cooking foods in distilled water pulls the minerals out of them and lowers their nutrient value.
Distilled water is an active absorber and when it comes into contact with air, it absorbs carbon dioxide, making it acidic. The more distilled water a person drinks, the higher the body acidity becomes.
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, "Distilled water, being essentially mineral-free, is very aggressive, in that it tends to dissolve substances with which it is in contact.
Notably, carbon dioxide from the air is rapidly absorbed, making the water acidic and even more aggressive. Many metals are dissolved by distilled water."
The most toxic commercial beverages that people consume (i.e. cola beverages and other soft drinks) are made from distilled water. Studies have consistently shown that heavy consumers of soft drinks (with or without sugar) spill huge amounts of calcium, magnesium and other trace minerals into the urine.
The more mineral loss, the greater the risk for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, hypothyroidism, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure and a long list of degenerative diseases generally associated with premature aging.
A growing number of health care practitioners and scientists from around the world have been advocating the theory that aging and disease is the direct result of the accumulation of acid waste products in the body.
There is a great deal of scientific documentation that supports such a theory. A poor diet may be partially to blame for the waste accumulation. Meats, sugar, white flour products, fried foods, soft drinks, processed foods, alcohol, dairy products and other junk foods cause the body to become more acidic. Stress, whether mental or physical can lead to acid deposits in the body.
There is a correlation between the consumption of soft water (distilled water is extremely soft) and the incidence of cardiovascular disease. Cells, tissues and organs do not like to be dipped in acid and will do anything to buffer this acidity including the removal of minerals from the skeleton and the manufacture of bicarbonate in the blood.
The longer one drinks distilled water, the more likely the development of mineral deficiencies and an acid state. I have done well over 3000 mineral evaluations using a combination of blood, urine and hair tests in my practice. Almost without exception, people who consume distilled water exclusively, eventually develop multiple mineral deficiencies.
Those who supplement their distilled water intake with trace minerals are not as deficient but still not as adequately nourished in minerals as their non-distilled water drinking counterparts even after several years of mineral supplementation.
The ideal water for the human body should be alkaline and this requires the presence of minerals like calcium and magnesium.
Distilled water tends to be acidic and can only be recommended as a way of drawing poisons out of the body. Once this is accomplished, the continued drinking of distilled water is a bad idea.
... Disease and early death is more likely to be seen with the long term drinking of distilled water.
Avoid it except in special circumstances.

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.
