DA -- water is the " universal solvent " and if pure enough, will indeed draw out plastic molecules from the typical plasitc pails so many people use it in... I have an under-sounter reverse osmosis setup at home. A decent distiller for countertop can be had for around $100., less if you buy 2- 3 or more at a time... got some for my duaghters... The lack of minerals can be easily overcome by using one of the recipes created by the World Health Org for dehydration... In using this, I have lost a lot of water weight and feel MUCH better. Simply stated, Using salt AND a sugar [glucose] mixed in a pure water rapidly is absorbed in your intestinal tract and quickly rehydrates you. You really dont need to drink the gallons of water most people out there tell you if you drink this. I drink a big glass in the morning, have one at work and then one early evening. I get busy, and dont do it, and can tell in my fingers I am retaining water again [delicate balance between body's cells concerning sodium and potassium and other trace minerals...] I use a Celtic salt from VRP and a Sucannat, which is an organic, brown can sugar crystals... Its not rocket science to do this: in a polycarbonate bottle [best one a the moment, or better, use a LEAD- FREE glass bottle] mine is 1 liter: one teaspoon of sea salt; 1 heaping teaspoon of Morton's Salt [i use this for the potassium in it; you may be OK in potassium; lucky you, skip this and use another teaspoon of sea salt from good source]; 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of good glucose source; can be 100% organic maple syrup {NOT AUNT JEMIMA's!!!]Sugar in the Raw, or other minimally refined sugar that will dissolve well; Mix with pure water; put in Fridge for at least 30 mins and then drink throughout the day..... Check out WHO.org website for more details; or google " rehydration formulas, homemade " and see what comes up.... be sure to determine the whack jobs from the reliable sources... TAke care, good luck, DA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
