Re: about water

[Guest guest]

In some cases it may be reflux. we often start people on reflux meds

and they are then able to tolerate all fluids and foods better. I also

suggest that patients try sipping some type of hot liquid to break up

the mucus. This often helps them to get more fluid in throughout the

rest of the day. hope this helps.

I am so glad you brought up the subject of what kind of water to

drink, Liz, because it has been puzzling me, as well, for a good long

time.

I think most any bottled water I buy at the store or get from a

filtering machine is going to be free of harmful microorganisms.

What concerns me is how much validity there is to claims that it's

better to drink alkalinated/alkalinized water. All those who say that

are sales companies selling their alkalinizing product. Also, they

come out with some very high numbers, such as 11.5, which was what

one company said their product would do to the pH of water to which

it was added.

That confuses me, because I believe 11.5 may be a high enough pH to

burn the skin. My lack of knowledge about even elementary chemistry

really has me flummoxed on that point. I didn't even know what " pH "

actually was, so went to a site where it is explained:

http://www.purchon.com/chemistry/ph.htm

I know that during the time I had a very significant shrinkage of

tumors in my neck I was drinking only distilled water, and that

distilled generally has a pH of a bit less than 7.0

I had thought reverse osmosis water, which I switched to from

distilled many months back, had a very similar pH, but the other day

I read that RO water has a pH of around 6.0.

One of the reasons I was drinking distilled water for years was

because I knew chemists use distilled water in their experiments,

meaning to me that distilled water would allow my bodily processes to

work optimally.

I switched to RO water because I thought it to be just as pure as

distilled, and because it costs less.

Oh, last thing--- On one of those " alkalinated water " sites, they

were charging about $30.00 + shipping for a container of something

that would properly alkalinize 20 gallons of water. I figured that

between me, my wife and my wife's mother, and then counting the times

we have company over, that I am using about 12 gallons per week X 40

cents a gallon X 52 weeks = just about $250.00 a year.

But then, if I want to " alkalinize " each of those gallons at $30.00

per 20 gallons, that comes very close to another $1,000 dollars!

Can anyone explain, authoritatively and positively, what kind of

water we ought to be drinking? Is there any good reason to bother

with alkalinizing RO water? It seems to me that if one is eating a

well-rounded/varied diet of whole greens, vegetables, fruits, nuts

and seeds, and is also using sea salt, as well as eating sea

vegetables, that one doesn't have to be particular about what kind of

water one is drinking, provided it is pure, and not chlorinated or

fluoridated.

Thanks for any help from anyone on this.

Distilled water is my water of choice. I hve a distiller and it works just

fine. If you run distilled water through a carbon filter post distilling

(just as it condenses, anything such as fluorine, chloride, etc... is also

pulled out. Any substance that will turn to gas under the boiling

temperature of water will be passed along with the distillation process and

unless you put it through activated charcoal, when it recondenses, it will

still be there. Reverse osmosis does not pull as much out as distilled, but

unless you have some rather unhealthy water issues, it will probably

suffice.

The thing distilled has going for it is the very slight negative charge that

is present because of the distillation. This one thing puts it a leg up on

anything else I can think of simply because it greatly aids in the transfer

of cellular fluids. (the negative charge keeps the cell membrane pumping

properly to flush toxins out of the cells better than anything else I have

come across.)

If you want to alkalize your water, add about 1/4 tsp per gallon of

bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) to the water and it will do all that any

specialized water treatment will do to raise the ph level.

And why not drink alkaline water in the first place that is a healer and

has not been heated, but has the memory still in it and is good for you.

Distill water pulls out the good minerals as well as the rest of them.

It leaves you with a dry mouth but the alkaline water leaves your mouth

wet and hydrates the body when you drink it. Good for you and good

tasting.

This is why distill water is put in car batteries is because it is acid.

An acid body is a fair ground for cancer and diseases.

Greetings,

Distilled water has a PH of 7, it is used to verify[incorrect term, CRS

just hit] PH meters.

My water comes out of my well at 8.2, naturally. I do bring it to 160F

to kill the bacteria.

Never in my life has distilled water given me a dry mouth. My older cat

lives on it due to the high salt content in my water, as do many

visitors to my area.

Bright Blessings,

Kim

Distilled water is put in car batteries because it will NOT react with the

acid already present and for no other reason whatsoever. Too much

salt/mineral content in the water will cause calcification of the plates and

shorten battery life. Distilled water typically varies between 6.7 and 7.2,

although in theory it should be neutral at 7.0.

In the nearly 3 years I have been drinking distilled water I have yet to

experience any form of a dry mouth or other unpleasant sensation. ly

it is the best tasting water I have had in many, many years. When we

travel, I miss it dearly once I run out of what is stored in our stainless

jugs.

By the way, you distill water to get the impurities out of it. There are a

lot of other things in there other than a few trace elements that do the

body no good whatsoever. If you want trace elements, put them back in after

you distill it for purification purposes. Same with anything done to

alkalize. Personally, pure water is a joy to drink and satisfies better

than any single other thing out there, in my opinion.

Sorry , its not as easy as that. First its easy to make the distilled

water slighty alkaline with nice mineral content still leaving it very pure.

That purity itself will pull to it many impurities in the body, many chemical

and even heavy metals. So correctly treated distilled or RO water can be just

fine during the heavy stages of cancer treatment. Yes long term use with just

distilled water not treated with some minerals would start to add to the already

existing mineral deficiencies that are found in just about everyone today. That

people do not put remineralization in first place no matter what cancer protocol

they choose is sad since it is so important and reflects on the outcome of EVERY

and ALL treatments.

That said I bought the end of two rivers that meet where I am building the

Sanctuary Cancer Clinic here in Brazil. Where possible drink the best and one

can drink right out of these two rivers. I would say when I am in the interior I

drink the most yummie water on earth. Not easy to create that kind of water in

the home though and I respect many different approaches that attempt to do that.

I drank distilled water during a 29 day water fast, no food, and did not

experience any obvious adverse effects. I have no idea whether or not distilled

water is better to drink on an ongoing basis.

Very well put Mark. I am thrilled with our alkaline water. It gives

me far more energy than distilled which I drank for years. Over the

course of several years, hair thinning and color loss can occur with

the use of distilled water. Alkaline water helps to balance blood

sugar. I know some diabetics who have drastically decreased their

insulin needs since drinking it. Most of the science is in other

languages like Korean and Russian. I tried to post a file but can't

do so but if the moderator can email me, I will send it via

attachment. It's from the Hallelujah Acres site and it contains some

translated studies from Russian about distilled and RO water. It's

not that easy to find on the site so I saved it. They recommended

distilled water for years but have changed their position on that now.

Like Mark says, we need minerals because we're all deficient and if we

are using distilled you can be sure to be extra deficient.

Systems are available in many qualities and price ranges. Mine cost

me about $300 and under $50/year for filters. Muscle testing is very

strong on everyone who's tried it. Distilled and RO suck the energy

out of a person. Try it and see. Some systems can cost thousands and

then there are drops like Alkalife that are also effective.

Hi

The water that is best for you, is thewater that has been ionized. I use a

Jupiter Melody unit but later models are out now. When I got mine in 2005

they were being made at the rate of 500,000 a year. Very recent Dr

Young (The pH Miracle author) has promoting them and water at 9.5 pH as the

best for you. We have been drinking 10.5 pH water for almost 2 and a 1/2

years. The filter is a device that separates the acid and alkaline minerals

and keeps the latter.

Expensive? yes. Good product? yes.

[ ] about water

i am concerned about the water i drink...

i have an expensive water filter and lately i am noticing that the

water is not tasting good. i would like to get a new cartridge, but

before that, i am wondering if is there any way i can use tap water?

can i add something to it to raise the ph?

how about prill beads? if so, where is the best place to buy it?

there are so many ads and i want to make sure i get the right stuff.

any ideas sooo appreciated.

[Guest guest]

Prill beads are a good way to purify water but most tap water has

fluoride in it. I buy RO water at a health food store for $.39 a

gallon. I have 3 and 5 gallon non leaching jugs that I fill with this

water. Before that I was running my distiller 4-5 times a week to make

distilled water, then adding 1/2 tsp. of RealSalt per gallon.

A good source for Prill and other Mg products is :

Sodium carbonate,

or sodium bicarbonate, which raises pH a little at first, but if allowed

to sit changes to sodium carbonate.

Perfectly OK: sodium hydroxide (lye or caustic soda)

PS - I'm not sure if Prill beads get rid of the fluoride or not. I'd

say probably not.

I couldn't tolerate Prill water. It caused loose bowels that would not

quit.
