I have another question about distilled water.
The alternative medical practitioners I know tell me that according to
muscle testing, and also negative results with patients who used distilled
water,
distilled water drinking over the long haul is harmful because it leaches
nutrients from the body. I know that my nanofilter water filter produces pure
water at 16 parts per million dissolved solids. I have had to modify it to
produce a quality of water similar to drinking water, around 100 parts per
million. The trouble is that the water is so pure without modification of the
filter that it leaches copper out of my pipes and deposits it in the shower,
bathtubs and toilets, turning them turquoise blue. Some patients who have
used
distilled water for long periods have come down with serious health problems
the alternative practitioners say are due to the lack of nutrients removed
by the distilled water.
I know that there are very competent and well-meaning alternative
practitioners who think that distilled water is the best way to go. I have a
Water-Wise unit myself. I know this is sold by (if I remember correctly,
David
Williams, M.D., who is very big on alternative health, and very competent). I
have
attempted to contact David Williams to ask him about the dangers of nutrient
depletion with distilled water, but those answering the phone don't know
much, and the question was never forwarded, or never answered by Dr. Williams.
Because of my experience in muscle testing, and those practitioners who do
it reliably and tell me that distilled water is harmful over the long haul, I
would not use it much, except to make CS, or as a back-up in case our well got
contaminated.
Ultimately, I think that there is only one correct answer to whether or not
distilled water is harmful over the long haul.
