COMMENT FROM SALLY-ANN
I get so many queries from people all over the world asking me my opinion on water, and which would be the best type of water to drink.   Having had our own steam distiller for 6 years now (we sometimes use 2 to keep up with the amount we drink!), Bill & I can honestly say that it's one of the best health decisions we have made.

We had just gone to the enormous expense of plumbing in a carbon filtration system some years ago, when we "discovered" distilled water.   We found it very interesting to note that the carbon-filtered water left as much dirty, disgusting, smelly sediment in the bottom of our distiller, as the tap water and bottled water did! After just a few litres, we poured out the sediment by adding a few drops of water, and wanted to vomit at the smell & sight of the contents. That's what you drink when you drink tap or bottled water! Ever seen what your kettle element looks like when you've had it a few months? A nasty green, very hard sediment forms on the element, and this is the same inorganic mineral deposit which forms in your arteries and goes into your body! Conversely, we bought a new kettle a few years ago, and to this day it does not have a single piece of sediment on it since using only distilled water - still looks brand new.

Even better - try boiling only bottled mineral water in your kettle for just a few days - the element is covered in a hard mineral residue in a fraction of the time that normal tap water would do it!   We tried it, and were horrified at the enormous levels of inorganic mineral deposits in the bottled water as opposed to the tap water.

A home steam-distiller takes everything out of the water including parasites, chlorine, viruses, fluoride and bacteria - and the inorganic minerals which your body cannot use (don't be fooled into thinking you can actually use those inorganic minerals in water) and which build up in your arteries and joints - and leaves you with the pure water God intended you to drink.   Rain water is naturally distilled drinking water.   The only problem these days with rain water is that it has to pass through the pollutants in the atmosphere, making it not so pure to drink anymore.

I had a few queries about the question of pH, and set out to discover what bottled water pH really was. Firstly, please note that the stomach has an acidic environment, and whatever goes into the stomach is dealt with by the stomach acid in that acidic environment - that's how we were designed, and only an acidic environment can digest everything and anything which enters our stomach. Anyway, I looked at many bottled waters, and I was intrigued to see that the pH levels were between 5.2 and 6.4!   Distilled water has a much higher pH, closer to 6.8 in fact.   So if this is your argument, you are far better off drinking distilled water!   Don't forget - parts of our body are supposed to be acidic - as in the case of the stomach, colon and skin. If not, we die! So as usual, a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing - don't be fooled.

Remember the Carte Blanche programme on the E.coli (amongst other bacteria) found in bottled mineral water? It seems all the bottled water they tested had something undesirable lurking in it and a lot was worse by far than tap water! Today our water is polluted, our air and soil is polluted, and we can't trust bottled water as our only source of water - none of it is pure. We can have it when we go to restaurants maybe - but too much of it would prove dangerous because of the inorganic mineral content (in this case, tap water would be safer in the long term). So by removing all the nasties, together with the inorganic minerals your body cannot use, you get the very best God intended for your body when you drink distilled water. All the respected authorities and experts agree on this, and having seen wonderful changes in people who have used distilled water, I've been convinced for a long time. I was sent a nice piece of text from which I've quoted extracts below - thanks Marcelle!

"What is Pure Water? Let's answer this by asking, "What isn't pure water?" Would you drink dirty water from your dishwasher, car radiator, swimming pool, dog water bowl? No! Why? Because it is dirty and full of undesirable matter. We put the BEST FUEL in our cars for the BEST PERFORMANCE, likewise we require the BEST WATER for our bodies. Dirty water & mineral water is hard water. It's not easy to wash dishes in hard water; and boiling hard water in a kettle leaves a dirty chalky rim of insoluble matter on the inside of the kettle. Obviously hard water is inefficient at cleaning the human body; and, when drinking this water that holds impurities or mineral solids suspended in it, these solids will as surely leave deposits in your system as they do in your kettle.

Pure water is the opposite, it is empty (or near empty), making it a softer water. Rain water used to be depended upon for drinking water to a greater extent, than it is today around the world. In most locations, rain water is not as pure as it once was because of the great amount of air pollution. One of the most well known long living groups of people in the world, are the Hunzas, and they drink glacier water. Glacier water is equivalent to DISTILLED WATER. Rain is water that is distilled without the help of man. Fog is distilled water before it is condensed into drops.

Rain, snow and ice, are all "cationic" (energy attracted to earth). In the process of transpiration, water in the colloidal form of steam or mist, becomes "anionic", and is attracted up to the Van Allen Belt, and accumulates in the stratosphere. This process is nothing more than God's natural WATER DISTILLER. All unwanted inorganic and organic matter is stripped from the water molecule except miniscule particles of essential anionic calcium, potassium and chlorine. (Calcium, potassium and chlorine in an anionic form can be assimilated by the body. Calcium, potassium and chlorine in a cationic form cannot be assimilated, and are removed via distillation.) Thus, DISTILLED WATER is not totally empty, but contains within itself, a few highly acceptable minerals in a colloidal & organic form.

PURE DISTILLED WATER is classed as a high energy water. That means the water molecules have very little within them to tie up their magnetic energy. The distilling process polarizes (makes electronegative) each water molecule. Distilled water also has a high electrical resistance, and a low conductivity, due to its pure state. This results in soft and wetter water, that is, it has a lower surface tension making it far superior for moving energy in and throughout cell membranes. Distilled water is sweet to taste.

Hard water places a heavy burden upon the kidneys which increases the salt levels in the blood and other body tissues. The body literally stacks salts up in areas, hoping that the system will be able to remove them before too long. When these salts are not removed, eventually the degeneration of the system's chemistry becomes exaggerated. Cardiovascular disease is the effect produced by excess conductivity. Kidney disease is on the rise from the same cause.

The higher the mineral content of MINERAL WATERS, the higher the danger to your health. To understand the harmful effect of mineral water is to understand cytology, or the cells structure and function. The elements of the mineral kingdom cannot be assimilated directly by the human / animal cell. They must first go through a process of linking with amino acids first. In the plant kingdom is the link for getting minerals into human life efficiently. The plants can take in the mineral directly, especially when it has colloidal phosphate available to It. All minerals (with the exception of nitrogen) need colloidal phosphate to link up with, so its journey into the plant is simplified. Once in the plant, the phosphated minerals become a part of the cell structure after going through recombining processes in the energy cycles of the plant cells. These energy cycles put the mineral into a chelated form. That is, the mineral ends up linked with amino acid complexes in the plants structural tissue. When man eats the plant, the mineral complex in the plant amino acids can then be easily converted by human enzyme activity, into molecular structures on the human frequency.

In nature water is also distilled during all the metabolic functions of the plant. So when you are drinking a fruit juice, you are actually drinking water that the plant has distilled and placed organic mineral-sugar complexes within. However, fruit juices can not take the place of plain distilled water. Juices contain the mineral sugars that make the body recognize the liquid as a food and not as plain water.

Lastly, when it comes to minerals - remember this rule: your body can only assimilate a mineral if it has been through the root of a plant. That's why drinking vegetable juice (which you make yourself) contains distilled water with organic minerals. Plants love inorganic minerals - that's how they like the minerals delivered to them - but we are not plants. We need them in organic form - and we can only obtain organic minerals from plants and whole-foods. I hope this clears this up this question for good!
