I'm gonna put on my science hat here. Water is capable of holding vast
quantities of minerals and other compounds. The miniscule amounts of
minerals in non-distilled water are on the order of one thousandth to
one millionth of the total that water can hold. For example, salt in
most tap water is at 5 to 100 parts per million, but water can hold
260,000 parts per million, or 26% salt. So I have a difficult time
believing that removing trace amounts of minerals would significantly
increase water's ability to take away wastes. I suppose from a
homeopathic point of view, removing every last trace of minerals from
water might create a "vacuum" that would attract more nutrients to the
water, but that's not a scientifically supportable hypothesis.


the fact that it attracts minerals it don't attract it fills the empty water with pipe and plastic and tells me only use glass for my pure water and stainless steal and should show you the above statement that pure water to me increases water ability to take away wastes. not pipe because what I do is clean the pipe lead out . that's why when you buy water in plastic containers it taste like plastic because the water is pure not because it attracts plastic please. it takes up stuff easy like nutrients and wastes. oh you need to taste the tea it makes. IMHO rain water you say is pure I guess that's not nature. ice pure also not nature. hehe give me a brake . I get my minerals from what I eat and drink not from the water and you are right so what. I don't need all the stuff that's in water now days just to get the little good. . are you kidding. anyway to each his own.. to me water water every where not a drop fit to drink. but mine lets talk about all the bad in water . and most of it is bad. I get letters from the water company all the time telling me that water I drank last month tested bad. how do you undrink last months water after the fact. I have more doubts about what folks call water than pure water. some folks take the water out of rivers where you can't even see your own hand. they fix it up make it taste like water and give the people that. I have to try and take all the stuff they put in out and clean it up and out comes water. h2o and pure water has no taste. if you make it using only the sun and what a natural thing that is . Natures own water. where the sun draws the water up . that is what rain is and I feel this is even cleaner than rain because rain has to pass through the air that man has also messed up. ever hear of acid rain. this water does not attract pipe like a magnet it fills the empty space in pure water and the city is so full of junk it can pass through the pipes and not pick as much up . same as when u drink that water its so full of stuff it don't pick up and clean you aND instead of cleaning and taking out waste it leaves you something , fluoride, clorain, lead etc. IMHO give me clean water anyday. to each his own. i don't like to take a bath in city water let alone drink it.


aggressively attracts minerals (it sure sucks them out of pipes and
such) and is thought to deplete the body of minerals if used
extensively. Steve Read's post cites some of the evidence.

There's nothing in nature to suggest that distilled water is good for
animals to drink. Plants and animals live on non-distilled water (and
the biodynamics folks consider distilled water to be dead and thus
harmful to life) so I wouldn't experiment on myself.
