Hi Robyn,

Why are you drinking distilled water and for how long have you been using

it?

While I know that it is good for short term for detox (2-4 weeks), it is not

advised long-term as it leaches your minerals.

This shows up as an ALL-LOW hair test and I have seen it to be true so far.

Have you had a hair test?

I don't know what Andy says about but I personally have turned against

distilled water consumption.

I know there are two school of thought on distilled water. I started off in

the pro its use, and changed my mind after trying it for 2 months.

I worry that if you are leaching minerals into the hungry water you can be

hurting yourself long-term.

You might want to add some good quality see salt to it perhaps.

Just a thought.

Dean,

I have been drinking distilled water for about 10 months, but have not had a

hair test since then. I had one before I got it. I already have low minerals,

so I hope I'm not pushing them lower! But here's my dilemma and why I got it.

There is arsenic in my well water, and it showed up very elevated on my hair

test and also my kids'. So I had to do something about our water, and my

understanding is that distillation is the best and most complete way of removing

the arsenic. I didn't want to and won't buy bottled water for the rest of my

life (who knows what you're actually getting anyway), and drilling a new well is

out of the question, and would be no guarantee to be any better than our current

one. So I really don't feel like I had much choice. I do add sea salt to my

water occasionally, but not all the time, and my kids never do, and they

actually really like the distilled water. So, what would you have done in my

situation?---------Jackie

I don't know Jackie.

Perhaps I would have chosen a reverse osmosis unit or make sure I am adding

electrolytes to the water after distilling it.

Taking electrolytes out your body is not good for the adrenals.

The problem is - how much salt do you add?

If we had some chemists around maybe they could help us?

It would have be be a high quality sea or Himalayan salt. Or several

varieties that you cycle to make sure you are not getting exposed to the

same toxin in one of them.

If I were on your position I would not want to make my minerals go lower.

Distilled water is hungry water and draws minerals (and toxins into it). But

with chelation we need all the minerals we can get.

Bottled water is usually worse because they disinfect the bottles with

chemicals that leave traces, and the inferior plastic seeps.

I don't have an easy solution for you.

I myself travel far from home every second week to fetch water in large HDPE

2 containers (they don't seep) from an underground bottling spring.
