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.

I hope this makes lots of sense and it's time to visit my eBay store to get the Seagul IV ( Nature Pure) water purifier from General Ecology, USA. Comes with a 10 year guarantee!

Don't be conned by the water electrode test

Last week a friend called about the water electrode test done with our purified water. Her customer was concerned as when the 2 electrodes were placed in a glass, the water turned black.

If you encounter any such demo, just do this - go get a pinch of salt and throw into any distilled or RO water and the water will also turn black. Then ask a simple question. can your water do a simple Clorox demo to remove the chemicals from the water? Only the Nature Pure Seagull IV can do the clorox demo!

Salt is Sodium and as with Potassium, Phosphorus andMagnesium, are electolyte minerals, that the body requires daily. Lack of sodium causes muscle cramps and even fainting.

So what this proves is that our Nature Pure ( Seagull IV ) water purifier allows beneficial minerals to pass through, giving you water that is delicious and healthy too.

The natural puriest form of water is spring water and rain water if collected in an unpolutted area. This water contains dissolved oxygen, minerals and is free from chemicals and heavy metals.

If you love drinking mineral water, then it's time to get a Nature Pure ( Seagull IV ) water purifier today.

The Real Truth about Water

There are some things I'm about to tell you about water, that will not only blow your mind, but will also have an almost immediate impact on your energy.

First - most of the advice you get about drinking water is dangerously wrong.

No one really knows for sure exactly how much water you should drink, and the blanket advice we get is pure bullshit.

For example ...

"Drink 8 glasses a day."

Now, that may look like sound advice, but further analysis shows it's an overly simplified "wives tail."

To be more blunt: "8 glasses a day" is actually a well established urban legend.

As recently revealed by the American Journal of Physiology, there is absolutely no scientific evidence to support the popular 8-glasses-a-day theory.

Now, none of these scientists at AJP are saying we don't need water (that would be silly). It's just that these overly simplified platitudes are not helping anyone's health.

What's needed is real scientific information and not half-truths.

What we do know is that "8 glasses a day" by itself is not good advice.

First, you need to drink water regularly throughout the day. Drinking 8 glasses in the morning and thinking you're "golden" for the day is actually dangerous.

You should, in fact, be sipping water every 15-30 minutes, and you will notice your energy levels skyrocket.

Why?

Because most of us are chronically dehydrated.Again, this is a statistically valid "safe bet." Another safe bet: you're tired all the time and you can't figure out why.

Dehydration making you tired?

You bet.and you will also suffer from these and a whole lot more:-

Dizziness
Chronic fatigue
Impotence
Hair loss
Headaches
Low back pain
Constipation

Dehydration has been shown quite clearly to be linked to all of these. (Merck Manual of Health)

OK, so you want to fix this ...

What next?

Before you start gulping down, you need to know that "how much" depends on a lot of factors.

It depends on your body size, how much you exercise, the climate in which you live, and more ...

Obviously if you live in a hot climate where you're sweating all the time (a lot of the sweat is invisible - you don't have to be dripping to be rapidly losing water all day long), you need more - a lot more.

If you exercise even mildly - same thing.

But there's something important here.

You may think drinking more water by itself is enough, but if you drink too much you can actually "overdose" on water.

It sounds crazy, but there was even a widely publicized case where people were "holding their wee for Nintendo Wii" for a radio contest.

The contestants were ordered to drink a high volume of water and hold their "wee" for as long as they could.

One of the contestants died as a result.

True story.

Too much water can harm you by either "water intoxication" (as the above Wii casulty, may she rest in peace) or by "electrolyte" imbalance.

Ah, electrolytes ...potasssium, sodium & magnesium...replenish them or you will suffer from aches, pains, cramps & womiting.

If you were simply to sip your water throughout the day, my "safe bet" is that you'd see a pretty significant bump in your energy.

But will you actually do it?

It's a damn good question.

The thing about this kind of information is that hearing it is one thing.

Applying it to your life is a whole 'nother animal.

My wish is not just to inform you, but to transform you.
