About (distilled) waters, please? [water 'energy', structured water, etc.]

[Guest guest]

Dear Native Nutrition members,

I would like to know please, what is the consensus and your comments here on:

Is it beneficial/healthy to drink distilled water?

What if that distilled water was made structured, or 'clustered' (see

www.csibeverages.com for more information on the supposed benefits of

structured/clustered water, which the healing waters of famous springs, like

Lourdes, France, may have been healing/beneficial because they contained

structured water (small groupings of readily absorbed water molecules, unlike

most water, which is 'bound' into long, not as readily absorbed chains of water

molecules they say).

Also, what if that distilled water was 'alkalinized' and had minerals added to

it, with say, coral calcium, before drinking, would that be the ideal drinking

water, health wise?

Furthermore, what about this idea that distilling water 'de-energizes' it,

according to a recent advertizement I read in a paper (may have been a scam

basically selling a water 'energizer' product)?

Also, at least those here in Florida or any sandy area, you may be interested to

know, that it is quite easy to dig one's own well, using a common garden hose

and a series of say 10' 1 " diameter PVC pipes, hose connectors, and waterproof

PVC glue. Attaching the hose to the first section of PVC pipe, and turning on

the water, that and each subsequent section of pipe acts as a drill quickly

digging deep down into the sand, to the necessary ~150' to reach the water

table, from which a pump may draw the water, or in the case of hitting an

artesian (pressurized) well the water flows freely by itself.

Finally, if distilling is recommended, could anyone refer me to where I might

purchase economically a water distilling kit that I could assemble to distill my

own water with?

With thanks,

M.

I never bought into the idea that distilled or reverse osmosis water

will leach minerals from the body, but my wife recently discovered

that RO water is irritating to her rather sensitive GI tract, so

aggressively solvent water may not be the best thing for all people.

I've been drinking RO water for more than 20 years, and I'm not aware

of any negative impact on my own health from it, but I'm going to

switch to a non-RO filter just to be safe (our water supply is not

municipal, so fluoride and other crap is not an issue).

The claim that drinking distilled water is the ideal for human

physiology doesn't ring true for me because rain water would have

been the only commonly available distilled water while humankind was

evolving, and I'd wager that consumption of mineralized water from

lakes, streams, etc. was far more common.

It seems odd to discuss how to add back to distilled water what was

purposely removed.

How did your wife know that it was the RO water irritating her GI tract?

Just curious since we just recently put in a RO filtering system and it's

been lately that I've been having trouble in my upper GI tract.

She's a German citizen and travels to Germany several times a year.

What she kept noticing is that her GI tract issues don't flare up

nearly as much when she's over there, so we brainstormed to figure

out what she does differently. The biggest difference is that she

drinks mineral water and tap water over there and RO water here in

the states. She switched from RO water to bottled spring water, and

the irritation cleared up.

Thanks . I'm going to try not drinking RO water for several days and

see if it helps.
