Hi Pam,

Yes the water issue is quite confusing and disturbing. Drinking

distilled water, RO water, spring water, well water, tap water, rain

water, what have you water. Which is best! RO water is very good water

but RO systems are very inefficient and you have to continually change

the membrane which is used to filter out the sediment. Now I am not sure

if ROsystems have improved over the years or not but I tend to think

they haven't improved enough. RO does not get rid of the chlorine and

flourine, insecticides, pesticides and herbicides let alone a lot of the

chemicals that find their way into the water supply. There is no such

thing as pure spring water anymore. Thanks to the industrial revolution

and greed. Well water is not pure, good but not pure. Forget tap water.

Rain water is good but not pure anymore either. Distilled water, if done

correctly, is pure. Distilled to get rid of DS (dissolved solids) and

then run through a carbon filter to get rid of chemicals that might have

crossed over during the distillation. The best way to distill water is

the way God distills water. Use the sun. There is no better way. Using

the sun does not heat the water to the point where it becomes dead water

(this is what water distillers do they heat the water too hot which is

why people say that distilled water is dead water). Of course even using

a distiller one can then just place the water out in the sun for the

day, pray over it, use the magnetic energy of your own hands, magnetize

it, sing to it, play Bach or Mozart to it and you will bring it back to

life. Everyone likes to use Masaru Emoto as the definitive truth that

distilled water is dead. But they don't usually go on to tell you the

rest of his findings that prayer, placing the water on certain pictures,

playing music to it will bring it back to its naturally and properly

hydrogen bond distance and angle.

I only drink distilled water and nothing else, unless I cannot get

distilled water. I do not have a distiller yet so have to rely upon

store bought. However, I take the water and pour it into a large glass

bottle with a very wide mouth. I then place it in the sun first thing in

the morning to catch the first rays and leave it till the sun goes down.

I have two large bottles that I use. They both hold a little over 4

liters of water. It is excellent tasting water and I have no problems

drinking it. I also like to add the juice of freshly squeezed lemon to

my water. Gives it a real lift. If the sun refuses to shine on a day I

need to enliven my water then I will pray over it and set it ourside

anyway.

There are a lot of people who will tell you that distilled water will

remove the minerals from your body. This is very true but the minerals

it removes are the inorganic ones that your body cannot use anyway. The

organic minerals that are in your body are already taken up by the cells

to do whatever the cells need them for. The inorganic minerals just plug

up your kidneys, get stored in your joints, tissues and organs. Many

people profit from attempting to dissuade others from using distilled

water. Others are just ignorant or naive in their thinking. I decided

several years ago to test the truth of drinking distilled water on

myself. This way I will know for certain the truth of the matter. I do

know that when I drink distilled water that I have less pain in my lower

back, well actually almost no pain, and when I drink mineralized bottled

water I suffer much more pain.

Okay, my two cents worth.

Don,

Very interesting. How long would it take you to have the pain from the mineralized water? and why do you think you would get the pain from it and not the distilled? I can't say that I have noticed a difference, but the most water I drink at a time that is not distilled is probably 20 oz or so. Thanks, D

Hi Deborah,

I can usually feel my back beginning to hurt within a days time. I

believe that the pain comes from the kidneys trying to offload the

inorganic minerals. Just my theory anyway. If I go back to drinking

distilled water the pain goes away within 24 - 48 hours. Of course, I

use lemon juice in my distilled water too. I like being alkaline. LOL

Still interesting. I get those pains also, but haven't connected it with water, as I usually drink distilled. Next time I have those pains (usually on one side not both) I will have to think if I have drank water other than distilled. I kept saying I thought it was my kidneys that hurt. Interesting...

Don,

I try really hard to get my half gallon down. When I am at home I keep a 2.5 gallon of distilled water in the fridge and just refill the arrowhead bottles. I can go through 3-4 of those easily. I sometimes put lemon in it, but I like the tast of the tasteless distilled water. If lemon kicks out stones I guess I best stick with the lemons then. I also heard years ago, from my Dentist that lemon will wear down the enamel on your teeth. When I am not at home it is much harder for me and I end up getting a fresh brewed Iced Tea with at least 4 lemons from 's. Always the Biggie size! D

I haven't made a diary of when the pains attack me as I normally put all pain in the FMS category and dismiss it to that. However do you get the kidney pain if you drink soda pop orother sugar drink or alcohol? Could drinking soda pop or other sugary drinks cause kidneystones? thanks D

Hi Deborah,

How much water are you drinking per day? It could be your kidneys

hurting. Do you drink the water plain or are you adding in lemon juice?

If you have any gravel or kidney stones the lemon juice will dissolve

them and allow your kidneys to expel them. Otherwise, they will stay

right there and continue to hurt your kidneys. My problem is I hurt my

back while in high school and it has bothered me ever since. It may be

kidneys but I think it is more spinal. However, when I do drink

mineralized water I can feel my kidneys and they let me know they don't

appreciate the water. LOL So I just stick with distilled water with

lemon juice added in. Makes for a wonderful internal body cleanser.

Hi Deborah,

I don't drink sodas nor do I consume alcoholic beverages. I don't use

sugar either unless it is raw Rapadura or molasses sugar and then very

little. However, I can tell you that both sugar and alcohol will

dehydrate you which can cause kidney pain. It is best to not drink

alcohol or sodas period. They are just plain not good for our bodies.

They dehydrate you, alcohol wreaks havoc on the liver and sodas destroy

ones spleen, among other things.

Drinking tea can contribute to kidney stones too. But this only relates

to green and black teas and not herbal.

Hi Deborah,

Dentists say the strangest things. Lemon juice, yes it is acidic, but

once inside the mouth becomes alkaline. Lemon juice has been proven to

have no detrimental effect on the teeth. If this were the case mine

would have long ago rotted away. I have always loved lemons and their

juice. I even eat them plain just for the fun of watching others pucker

up. Hehehehe Not really. But I do eat them and have never had a problem

with the enamel on my teeth. The worst thing for the enamel on your

teeth besides sugar is your toothbrush. That's right your toothbrush. A

person should only use an ultrasoft bristle toothbrush. Anything else

will scratch the enamel and wear it away. Too bad they don't make

natural bristle tooth brushes. You can use a stick of licorice root to

brush your teeth with. This works. Just suck the end till it is soft and

use it to brush. Indians did this and used other sticks besides. Natural

bristles.

Am I to understand that you have vision problems? Also concerning your

FMS, CFS, Arthritis, etc would you be so kind as to fill me in on what

exactly your diet consists of on a daily basis? IE>> what do you drink

and how much of each, please be specific. What do you eat and how much,

again please be specific. What medications are you currently taking?

What supplements are you currently taking? What other remedies are you

currently taking? Are you seeing anyone for your conditions? I am asking

all these because no one needs to live in pain. I do realize that

sometimes it is just a way of life but it can be lessened tremendously.

Peace be with you Deborah.

This is very interesting! Whilst I don't seem to have a problem drinking

water during the day, I keep some bottled water beside my bed for when I

have a hot flush. I've noticed a few times that after drinking the water I

have a bad tummy ache afterwards that lasts a long time. I wonder if

that's kidneys? I thought they were at the back somewhere though...... I

also get a pain after peeing during the night. The gyno. said it was

something to do with the bladder being really stretched and then released,

but I don't get that during the day either. Sometimes it's scarey to go

to bed {LOL}

Did for a while, am already doing it again. Yes, I also have bought numerous books on yoga. My mystery pain interrupts a lot of that type of exercise, I can't use my exercise ball either. I walk, but then hurt so badly after and the longer I walk the longer I hurt! D

Hi ,

What type of water do you drink during the day? What type of bottled

water do you drink during the night? Normally one will not feel kidney

pain in the abdomen. It will be felt in the small of the back.

Where is this pain located, that you get after peeing? Urethra? I don't

buy the gyno babble either. What other liquids do you drink during the

evening? Coffee, tea, alcohol, sodas? What do you eat during the

evening? Desserts? Heavy foods?

He wasn't an Einstein, that's for sure. When I once asked him aboug

One cup of black tea moring and afternoon, glass of kefir with lunch, one

mug decaf. coffee or cocoa after supper. Sometimes one beer or one glass

of wine around supper time.

Nothing after supper

>Desserts? Heavy foods?

Sometimes a slice of apple pie (no ice-cream). I don't really like stodgey

food.

Hi ,

So you are drinking the same water at night that you drink during the

day. Correct? Are you drinking it cold during the night or is it room

temp? Might consider changing your coffee and cocoa to some other time

of the day and see what effect that has on the stomach pains during the

night. As for the lower abdominal pain I need you to be more specific

about where and how it manifests or feels.

Hi ,

Yes, cold water on a sleeping stomach can create problems. Try taking a

glass in with you to bed and allowing it to warm up to room temp. Then

see if you have the same problem.

Okay, that would help alot in figuring out the peeing pain problem. ;-)
