Want to share what I have learned recently about distilled water.  We all know the importance of Pure Water.

Distilled water is water which has been heated to the boiling point so that impurities are separated from the water which itself becomes vapor or steam.  It is then condensed back into pure liquid form.  The impurities remain in the residue which is simply thrown away.  Distilled water contains no solids, minerals or trace elements, and has no taste.  Distillation removes the debris, bacteria, and other contaminants.

"Do I need to tell you why drinking plenty of good quality water is essential to health as eating properly?  In a nutshell: one of the main activities of the body's self-healing system is filtration of the blood, a job performed mostly by the kidneys which a little help from the mechanism of perspiration.  Kidneys are such efficient, compact and miraculous filters that they put to shame the dialysis machines used to maintain tech patients with renal failure.  The heart, blood, and kidneys are a single functional unit that constantly cleanses and purifies itself, removing all the toxic wasts of metabolism and the breakdown products of harmful substances that get into our bodies one way or another.  This purification system can operate efficiently only if the volume of water flowing through it is sufficient to carry away the waste. Further, as good quality steam distilled water enters the body, it has the ability to pick-up mineral deposits accumulated in cells, joints, artery walls, or wherever such deposits occur and begin to carry them out.  Gallstones and kidney stones then decrease, and it also lessens arthritic pain as joints become more supple and movable.

It has become apparent that pollution and contamination exist within our drinking water.  With the amount of sewage dumped into drinking water sources, many  water borne diseases are present in the so-called "treated" drinking water.  This leaves our bodies vulnerable to infection and disease.

The viruses of major concern in relation to drinking water are those of intestinal origin, excreted by infected animals or humans, which reach water sources by way of the soils unlimited potential for serious disease and contamination of the human body.

My Aunt Sara has used a water distiller purchased at Sears for about 30 years.  She told me she had replaced it about 3 times.  The distiller takes about 5 hours to distill 1 gallon of water.  I believe in it so much that I will purchase one of my own.  My Aunt Sara is very very healthy and so much younger than her real age.  She is very careful to eat healthy, drink good water, exercise, work her mind, and enjoy life.  She is my role model in every way.
She gave me advise lately on how to check your water to see if it is really distilled.  Place a drop of the distilled water on a mirror.  If it leaves a residue then it is not distilled.  She also believes in distilled water in water reservoir of her iron.  It gives the clothes a cleaner feel.

The Importance of Pure Water:

Only oxygen is more essential than water in sustaining the life of all living organisms.  Human beings can live for several weeks without food, but only a few days without water.  The quality of your tissues, their performance, and their resistance to disease and injury are linked to the quality and quantity of water you drink.  Experts agree that in order to maintain optimal health one needs to drink 8-10 glasses of water per day.  The daily cleansing of wastes from each cell, the flushing of the alimentary canal and the purifying of the blood are all dependent on our water consumption. 

The Present Condition of Water:

Most people get their water from the household tap.  This water originates from lakes, rivers, streams, and underground sources.  The majority of water goes through a cleaning system a a local water treatment plant.  However, many harmful pollutants and water borne diseases are present in the finished treated water. 

Fifty percent of the US population uses water that,  in part, made up of recently discharged wastewater.  And like the treatments for drinking water, wastewater treatments do not remove many of the toxic substances. 

According to scientists from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI), it has been estimated that between 60 to 80 percent of all cancer is caused by chemicals in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink.. The NCI expressed concern over 20 years ago that increases in carcinogens in water and our inability to remove them could result in serious exposure of the general population.
