DISTILLED WATER 
​
Picturedistilled water
Distillation consists of boiling and evaporating water and then recondensing the vapor or steam back into liquid water.  This is a very natural process, and is exactly what occurs when water evaporates into the air and then falls to the ground as rain.

When water is distilled in nature through evaporation, all solid matter is left behind and only pure H20 rises into the air to form clouds that eventually drop their moisture as rain.  This is nature’s premier water filtration system, in fact.

When water is distilled by mankind, by boiling it and recondensing it, all solid matter is left behind except chemicals that volatilize at a lower temperature than the water.  Most industrial distillers have methods to capture these substances to prevent them from remaining in the water.

For this reason, I find that industrially distilled water is the very best, not home distillers of any kind.  I do not recommend buying a home distiller for this reason.
 
Advantages of distilled water.  Distillation does not significantly damage the subtle properties of water such as its spin, moment, specific gravity and other subtle qualities of the water.  

​In fact, distilling is the best and really the only way to remove the “memory” of damage to water that is known to occur when water is contaminated in any way. 

Good quality distilled water is free of most chemicals and all toxic metals.  It is also free of pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.
           
PROBLEMS WITH DISTILLED WATER. These are many and include:
 
1. Distilled water acts as a chelator in the body.  This is a very serious problem, in our experience.  Distillation (as with reverse osmosis) creates a "hungry" water.  This means it is devoid of minerals and, as  a result, distilled water tends to attract to itself whatever minerals it touches.

When one drinks distilled water, as soon as it enters the body it begins to grab onto and hold onto minerals.  This process is called chelation.  When the distilled water passes out of the body through the kidneys, some of these minerals are lost to the body.  

Since it is a mild form of chelation, if one drinks distilled water for more than a few weeks or months, over time it will remove some vital minerals from the body.  This is extremely harmful today because most of us are low in vital minerals to begin with.
 
2. Distilled water lacks nutrient minerals.  Almost everyone is already low in nutrient or vital minerals, and we need to obtain more of them any way we can.  One can absorb some minerals from drinking water.  In fact, good water can supply 30 or 40 trace minerals that the body needs in small quantities.  Unlike spring water or even tap water, distilled water is lacking minerals, so it is less desirable for that reason.
 
3. Distillation produces a slightly acidic water.  Some people do not like this fact.  However, it is not quite the truth.  Used for short periods of time up to three or perhaps even 6 months, distilled water often removes so many toxic chemicals and metals from the body that the overall effect is alkalinizing, even though the water itself may be slightly acidic in its pH.  

In other words, it does not matter that the distilled water is acidic, provided the long-term effect of the water is to make the body more alkaline.

However, if distilled water is continued for more than a few months, it begins to leach out some vital “alkaline reserve” minerals that are the ones responsible for making the body more alkaline.  Therefore, long-term use of distilled water will eventually cause the body to become more acidic if it is used for more than a few months.
 
4. Metal contamination.  A minor problem with distillation is that metallic distillers, even stainless steel ones, can possibly give up some chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and iron into the water.  It is not a lot, however, as most is bound up in the stainless steel.  An all-glass distiller would be superior, if such a machine were available.  I have not heard of such machines, however.
 
Adding minerals to distilled water.  Some doctors and some designer waters begin with distilled water and add minerals to it to offset the problems of drinking pure distilled water.  However, mineral science is very complex and there are over 40 trace minerals that our bodies need in minute quantities in many cases.  No one, in my view, is very good at figuring out 1) which minerals to add, 2) how much of each, and 3) in what form to add them.

Also, as explained above, water is type of energy and a type of ‘whole food’.  Any time you alter it, some of its properties may be damaged or destroyed.  I have reviewed dozens of water products on the internet and elsewhere.  None are very good, in my view, or worth the money.  For this reason, I do not advocate adding minerals, sea salt or anything else to any drinking water.
 
Summary:  Most people should avoid distilled water for the reasons listed above.  I rarely suggest it for a short time only to help with a healing reaction.  Drinking distilled water for longer than this, however, always results in vital mineral deficiencies.

Please note that there is only one nutritional balancing science, developed by Dr. Paul Eck. All other claims made by other practitioners, not approved by Dr. Lawrence Wilson on his site, have altered Dr. Eck's principles and as such have no in depth understanding of the science, which is very unfortunate.  

Further, altering even one aspect of a nutritional balancing program often ruins it rather completely.  This could be substituting different products that you like better, skipping an aspect of the diet or the supplements, or implementing other diets, such as GAPS OR PALEO, OR something else that people do all the time, such for example using other forms of meditation, other than what is recommended by Dr. Wilson.  In other words, using other products or diets, or meditation, conflicts with the entire program and it seriously reduces its effectiveness. Thus, nutritional balancing science is completely integrated, meaning that the sciences are used together in very unique way and should not be altered by yourself or other practitioners.
