Extra Pure Water is Best for Your Body

Years ago, the late Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, learned of the virtues of purified (distilled in his case) water, and always claimed that distilled water had prolonged his life. He wrote of his experience as follows:

" I have found that distilled water is sovereign remedy for rheumatism, at least as far as my own case concerned. Some years ago doctors couldn't find anything to relieve me. The attack came just as I was investigating certain subjects relating to deposits of salts. One was as to the deposit of salts in the human system. A well known scientist had written a book in which he said that the old age came from such deposits, and that the ills of advanced years were due to the lack of their elimination. This man thought that when such deposits went to the joints man had rheumatism. When they went to kidneys, he had kidney trouble and stones in the urinary organs: and when they lodged in the arteries, they produced what is called hardening of the arteries. In the same way, when such deposits coated the nerves, they produced sciatica. At the time I had been studying about Dead Sea, the great Salt Lake, and other bodies of water which have no outlets. The Dead Sea is one fourth salt and the Great Salt Lake is loaded with salt. Well, it occurred to me that my body was much like the Dead Sea and that it needed less salt coming in plenty of ways to get salt out. I knew that distilled water was pure. I thought that if I drank plenty of it, I might get rid of some of the salts that were covering my sciatic nerves. I tried drinking it, and it worked like a charm. Within  a short period of time my sciatica left me and I have been free from rheumatism from that day to this. I have kept up my drinking of distilled water and I attribute my almost perfect health largely to it."

No, in fact, just the opposite has been found to occur in cellular research studies. It is a mistaken belief that drinking pure distilled water reduces valuable minerals from living human tissues.

ORGANIC MINERALS VS. INORGANIC MINERALS

There are two types of minerals, organic and inorganic. Human physiology has a biological affinity for organic minerals. Most minerals for body functions are absorbed from dietary plant foods. A growing plant converts the inorganic minerals from the soils to a useful organic mineral. When an organic mineral (from a plant food) enters the stomach it attaches itself to a specific protein-molecule a process called chelation) in order to be absorbed, and then it gains access to the tissue sites where it is needed. Once a plant mineral is absorbed within the body, it is utilized as a coenzyme for composing body fluids, forming blood and bone cells, and the maintaining of healthy nerve transmission. (Balch & Balch 1990)

Without a healthy organic mineral balance inside and outside the cells of muscle, blood, and bone substructures, the body will began to spasm, twitch and cramp, eventually deteriorating to a full "rigor complex", and/or complete failure. Minerals can be likened to the key to your car: it is a small component, but nevertheless an essential one. And a small amount of inorganic minerals are needed (like sodium), but food is still the best source.

INORGANIC MINERALS FROM TAP WATER ARE "BAD NEWS".

Tap water presents a variety of inorganic minerals which our body has difficulty absorbing. Their presence is suspect in a wide array of degenerative diseases, such as hardening of the arteries, arthritis, kidney stones, gall stones, glaucoma, cataracts, hearing loss, emphysema, diabetes, and obesity. The minerals available, especially in "hard" tap water, are poorly absorbed, or rejected by cellular tissue sites, and, if not evacuated, their presence may cause arterial obstruction, and internal damage. (Dennison 1993, Muehling 1994, Banik 1989)

ORGANIC MINERALS ARE PREFERRED

It is no wonder that the body prefers the richest source of minerals, from organic foods, instead of the hard-to-absorb minerals in tap water. Even if human tissue suddenly developed the ability to absorb inorganic minerals from tap water, it would take an enormous amount of tap water to supply the bare minimal mineral quantities for proper life functions. If (for example) the ample inorganic mineral content of the tap water in Reno, Nevada were modified so that it would convert the daily Calcium requirement (RDA) from its inorganic calcium solutes, one would have to drink 7.4 gallons of their tap water.

DISTILLED WATER ACTUALLY ENHANCES MINERAL ABSORPTION RATES

Yes, and this is correlated to the ability of hard water to conduct electricity. Pure Water will not conduct electricity (even when 2 parts per million inorganic minerals or less are present). Water with 5 parts inorganic content per million parts water (or more) will conduct electricity, completing a simple circuit and lighting a tester bulb. The higher the inorganic content is in a per million count, the less effectively water transmits organic minerals to tissue sites. Bottled water, tap water, reverse-osmosis filtered water, and carbon-block filtered water when tested will conduct electricity, substantiating that these are not the best carriers for mineral-transport and mineral-absorption (Muehling 1994). Tap water in the USA has been shown to contain 19 "inorganic metals of concern"(1994 Safe Water Drinking Act), for which maximum contaminant levels have been set. (Tone 1994) Most American tap water tested falls between the ranges of 350 parts per million to over 1000 parts per million total contaminants. (Colgan 1993)

REPEAT THE QUESTION PLEASE...

Does drinking pure water leach minerals from the body? No, quite the opposite. If inorganic minerals (and other substances like chlorine, heavy metals, bacteria, etc.) are removed from tap water, by converting it into pure water, the result is improved absorption of all nutrients, including minerals, and improved elimination of wastes at the cellular level. 

Pure water is actually tasteless and odorless. This lack of flavor and smell may take a short while to get used to, but once you get accustomed to drinking pure water, chlorinated tap water will seem offensive. Tap water has additives, and it is the additives that you taste. Since pure water adds no foreign substances to your foods, the original tastes and flavors of the foods are retained. 

Pure water, chilled with a few cubes of purified ice tastes great alone and goes perfectly with any taste you prefer. Tea, coffee, juice, lemon.....

PureTek Multiport supplies fresh, clean, great tasting water made right in your home, instantly, and at your convenience. For best taste, pure water should be cooled or added ice made from pure water. Water coming from PureTek Multiport is very active on ion level and is highly oxygenated.
