Distilled water is liquid water that was created by first boiling water and then condensing the steam back into liquid
That's distilled water and it's almost completely free of minerals or contaminants
So in this video, I want to explain to you why I think drinking distilled water is a healthy thing to do and why you
might want to consider it for your own health and family. So I've got three glasses of water here
you can see one is distilled produced with the water distiller that we have in our home
This is tap water that we get. And then this is something called boiling tank water
which I'll explain in a second. But right now, I just want to show you using this total dissolved solids meter
The difference between these three. So distilled water zero, it's showing a one part
per million. So pretty much completely mineral free, one part per million is not very much
Could it be caused by um you know, little dust that settled in that glass
Now, the tap water, this is from our home. We're on a private well and let me just clear that and
working there 218 parts per million. So 218 parts per million of what
Well of this, this is the mineral residue that was taken out of the tap water
A leaving behind the distilled water. This is the kind of thing that my family and I would have ingested over several months
Now, this is probably uh mostly calcium and magnesium, given the bedrock in our area and water chemistry
And you might be thinking, well, don't we need calcium and magnesium and you might even go to the drugstore and buy supplements of that
sort. The problem is that this form of magnesium and calcium is not something that your body can use very easily
It actually has to work hard to get rid of it. Um Not that there's a huge amount here anyway
even if this stuff was the kind of calcium and magnesium that your body needs
you would have to drink maybe 100 gallons a day of tap water with this concentration of minerals in it in order to
get your daily requirement. So, first of all, it's not very much
you're not getting very many minerals but the minerals you are getting are causing your body some problems and it has to work hard to
get rid of it. And one place that gets rid of this is in your joints. This is one of the causes of recurring joint
pain and inflammation. Another place this stuff shows up is kidney stones
um the the kidney stones are going to vary depending on the mineral composition of the water where you live
but that's where they come from like this. So this third glass of water
let me just show that to you. So in the distiller that we have tap water goes in distilled water comes out and
the minerals are left behind in the boiling tank. Now, in another video
I I explain what the boiling tank is and show it to you. But essentially the boiling tank in the distiller is kind of like
the dead Sea in the Middle East. In that mineral laden water goes in
but mineral free water goes out. So in the boiling tank, uh there's going to be a build up of minerals over a period of
time and that has to be removed from time to time. But let's take a look and see what we've got here
So this was pretty much zero distilled 200 something parts per million tap water and the boiling tank water
Uh you know, we're up over well 1472 1472 parts per million in
the in the boiling tank water. So you get some sense here of the minerals that are removed and how that how that happens
Now, there is another reason why you would want to drink distilled water
It doesn't apply to me because I live in the middle of nowhere. I'm 100 miles from any industry
at least. Uh our, our well is drilled into bedrock. I'm not worried about chemical contamination
but I would certainly be concerned about chemical contamination if I lived downstream
So, on the lake or river, downstream from a large population, because there's something happening with municipal drinking water that you need to understand
From a, from a bacterial point of view, you're not going to get sick
drinking water anywhere in North America or any, any modern country. We've got the microbe thing taken care of mostly with chlorine
at least in North America. And that has a whole bunch of problems associated with it, which I won't talk about now
But what the municipal system cannot remove are contaminants that are now building up in the natural
ecosystem. And these are of two types. One type is female hormones from birth control pills
Uh These get into the sewage and from the sewage, they get back into natural water courses and they are causing problems with fish and
frogs. You can google it yourself, uh female hormones in the ecosystem
just google something like that. And you'll see case after case after case of mutated fish and frogs in these natural ecosystems
And that's because of what we're putting into the natural ecosystem. Now
the thing is not only are we putting it in, in the form of our sewage, but our municipal treatment plants cannot take it out
Not completely. So you're getting some of that in your drinking water
Another thing you're getting in your drinking water, depending on where you live and depending on the time of the week
And this is kind of interesting is the residue of recreational drugs
Uh, studies have been done to show to yze the trace residue of recreational drugs in sewage
leaving sewage treatment plants. And as you'd imagine, it spikes up between Thursday and Sunday
And those are also going into the natural ecosystem and they cannot be removed by the municipal system that takes that water back in from
the Laker River and purifies it and makes it safe to drink
So those substances are in municipal water supplies that are downstream from large populations
Distillation is the most effective method that I know for removing those things
So two reasons to recap getting rid of these minerals, which are not what you need actually
and also a purer water supply in terms of chemical contamination. Now
these chemical contaminants aren't going to make you sick in a week or a year or maybe even 10 years
but we're talking about a cumulative effect. Um And this is why I think it's
it's, it's prudent to, to pay attention to this. Now, I'm not the only one who thinks this
I'm not just making this stuff up. The prominent people throughout history are on record as approving of distilled water for drinking
And I just want to show you a couple of examples of that right now. So if you have any questions about drinking distilled water
or home distillers, we got a fair amount of experience with this. So just drop me an email and I'll be happy to help you out
