Is distlled water bad for your health?

[kenneth11z]

All,

Recently I have being doing some research about water filters
because I just find out that tap water isn't very good for your
health if you drink alot everyday. I have read several articles that
distilled water isn't good for your health and might cause certain
diseases. This really got me scare and cursious because I was
planning to a water distiller instead of using regular water filter
because it's much cheaper and more efficient removing harmful
substances, baterias, and virus from the water. Provided it also
uses a carbon filter.

Have anyone know any truth to this? Are there any channeled source
regarding tap water?

Dear Kenneth,

Reverse osmosis water is much better than distilled water. No need to
look for channeling on this. It's science. You can often buy it at
stores or get your own filter.

Peace be with you -

Yeah, I was planning to buy a reverse osmosis filter but it waste so
much tap waters to remove harmful chemicals in order produce clean
water. I think like every gallon produce only a quarter of gallon
clean water. That's why I was looking into distilled water filter
which often the best of the world until I came up several articles
that claim it is unhealth. That's why I posted to see if anyone know
anything about it. Specailly now, I know how important to drink lots
of water.

I guess my best option is to get a macrofilter that doesn't filter
out the essential minerals. Unless if someone know of a reverse
osmosis filter that don't waste so much water and also uses lots of
electricity from what I read. What is a dilema....

Kenneth, if the reverse osmosis filtration wastes as
much water as that, then it is unconscionable to use
such a system. Anyone who has ever lived through a
multi-year drought has a respect for not wasting
water. Also I don't think these systems are
inexpensive either to purchase or operate. A good
filter for your tapwater should be okay, or bottled
regular stuff. I prefer the minerals to stay in the
water, so I don't do distilled. But that's just me.

It's fine to make the best choices you can in putting
the best nutrition and hydration into your body that
you can, but in the grand scheme of things, it's what
kind of spiritual person you are that matters. We
evolve forward whether we want to or not, whether we
work at it or not, because this is the nature of how
we are created. It might take longer, it might go
faster. But there is no prize for going faster, or
penalization for going slower. In the end you
determine your own speed of growth, and comparisons
with another person are not helpful or meaningful.

You could, if you wanted to, say that those of Ra have
been "victimized" by their own success in having moved
through their own 3D experience so well and without so
much of the baggage and agony we're experiencing here
[not to mention Mars and Maldek...] As a result of not
having learned some things "the hard way", those of Ra
made a visit to Earth to try to help in response to a
call from there. Things did not work out as planned.
They tried again. It still didn't work. Those of Ra
have called the experience naivete' and have said that
this experience was recorded in the Great Record of
Creation, so that hopefully another SMC may not make
that choice when electing to serve. Those of Ra
continue to serve here in various capacities, as do
other members of the Confederation, not to undo what
has been done [this is impossible] nor to expiate past
mistakes [there are no mistakes] but to perfect the
service experience right here, right now.

What I'm trying to say, in short, is that you should
do whatever makes sense for you and your means, do
your best and then don't worry about what you can't
do/don't have the money to do.

Oakland water is not the greatest, but better than
either Menlo Park or Palo Alto. My cat drinks only
bottled water [spoiled feline princess] while I drink
bottled water at work and filtered water at home.
It's only the Brita-filtered stuff, so not really
clean, and the taste is subpar enough that I put a bit
of lemon or lime or very small amounts of juice into
each glass. I'm not a shining example of spiritual or
physical purity like DW, but at least I'm healthy and
hydrated.

Blessings,
~lesley

Do a google search on "the big berky." Its an awesome water filter,
Im very happy with it.

[David Wilcock]

Group,

I thought I'd add one last comment about distilled water. The only
problem with distilled water is its lack of minerals. You can make
distilled water and then re-mineralize it with any of a variety of
available colloidal products, and in so doing it loses its acidic
properties.

Peace be with you -

Hi

I am new here. I just have a question since I have been taking distilled water
for years. If I don't, I get terrible stomach pains. I have read that the
minerals in water are not absorbed by us since they are not organic in nature.

Just asking...
Alma

All,

Thanks for all your inputs and tips on distilled water. It really
helps me to understand it better. As you know, sometimes it's so
hard to trust scientific data because you never know if they are
telling the truth or not for the reason of corporate greed and
marketing. That's why I have put off buying the water filter a year
ago until now. So I wanted to get a second opinions from here since
I trust here more than the corporate scientist. Of course not all
secientist is that. Actually I was going to buy a water distiller a
month ago until bump into that article that scare the pant out of
me. hehehe...

Most likely I'm going to a carbon filter for now. Isn't florine is
very bad to your health? All carbon filters doesn't filter it and
needs a special florine filter for that.

I think that's why David suggested to use colloidal minerals.

If we are looking to have water that is healthey then purchase some glass
bottled naturally sparkeling mineral water like Gerolsteiner. The water out
of the tap no longer has the necessary minerals in it. Along the Colorado
River there are many cities that put "clean" waste water back into the river
........Just think they flush their toilet in Co and in Ca they drink it.

As a result of all of this the minerals are depleted ...............so the
best way is a water in a glass bottle.

> LS: Oh no....I've been living in California for
nearly 30 years now and drinking the water. On the up
side, I haven't died, so it mustn't be too bad. On
the down side, oh dear....

There was a very big brouhahah a few weeks ago, about
a community on the Peninsula wanting to use treated
water to water the grass and trees in public parks. I
didn't see anything wrong with that, but there was a
few people very definitely against it. Their
reasoning was that it was treated waster and therefore
unsafe to water plants with, because children played
on the grass and would pick up germs. If they only
knew they were drinking it....just imagine.

Actually, being a regular radio listener, I've heard
that the, er, sludge that is also a result of sewage
treatment [also treated] is given away for free as
fertilizer to farmers and big agriculture. On the
upside, at least theyr'e not charging for it. On the
downside, there is some worry at this might be unsafe.
I read articles every now and then that talk about
antidepressants making it into rivers and streams and
other water sources, as well as other types of
medicinal compounds. I'm sure that if this is true
then it's coming from this treatment cycle source.

Damn, it's just too easy for people, especially
Americans, to forget that we live in an ecosystem that
is closed, if you think of it on a global scale. What
goes in eventually comes out, and then goes back in
again. You can be responsible about what you do and
how you consume, but things are what they are. Just
because what you don't want anymore goes into the
garbage and then get hauled away doesn't mean that it
just vaporizes or vanishes. It always comes back.
Maybe in your next glass of H2O.

Blessings, peace and good health,
~lesley

Do you mean flouride? That is bad for your health, and should be
removed from the water if possible. The more inexpensive filters
don't even try. I've got a $500 under-sink water filter which
uses "ion-exchange" and is supposed to eliminate floride and
most everything else. I got it from a local Seattle company
(http://www.custompure.com/doc/treatment.htm). It doesn't use
any electricity or waste any water, but I do need to bring
in the filters for replacement once a year.

Also, watch out for Polycarbonate (recycle code #7) bottles.
These are sold at health food stores as being "non-leaching",
and are used for water coolers, etc., but they actually
*do* leach a chemical which has turned out to be far more
hazardous than the "regular" plastic water bottles:

I bought my water filter about 3 1/2 yrs. ago. It comes with a fluoride filter
and does a nice job
for the price (~$200). I think this co. (Doulton) also makes an under-sink
model for around the
same price. Here's a link to a place that sells them for $229. You can
probably find it a bit
cheaper some place else.

Yes distilled water is bad for your health if you continue on
drinking daily because the lack of the essentail minerals. There two
types of minerals. One is the essential minerals that is good for
your body while the other in-organic is bad for your health.
Distilled water is good for fasting or detoxifying for a short time
like a 3 - 7 days or so. It asbsorb toxins from your body very
quickly. If you have stomach pains, its best you stop drinking.

Each person should investigate this for themselves and make a decision based
on their investigation. I drink and cook with distilled water and I take a
liquid mineral suppliment. I'm 54 years old and in excellent health and full
strength. Distilled works for me.
