&lt;p&gt;While I became fascinated with Emoto&amp;#39;s work, and the idea behind it - consciousness and other factors affecting water,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have recently become convinced that it is BUNK! &amp;nbsp;I don&amp;#39;t say this lightly, as I still do believe in energy and the like.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, careful research of Emoto&amp;#39;s work, and even reading his own books, one finds a COMPLETE lack of&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;rigorous methods that tie together the experiments with the supposed claimed results and cause-effect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He simply takes hundreds of photos of water, then has a team PICK which samples they SUBJECTIVELY find most beautiful or symmetrical.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then they APPLY their choces to the terms, or groups, or origins of the water they are testing. &amp;nbsp;Check it all out for yourself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I so wanted to believe in this stuff, but it is ENTIRELY misleading.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If someone could VERIFIABLY do these experiments, or counter my argument with some real evidence, I would be open minded about it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;** By no means am I a fan of distillers, I find Reverse Osmosis to do roughly the same job with a lot less maintenance, less water used to produce pure water, no electric energy required (for most residential applications anyway,) and lower cost to purchase and maintain - but that being the case, how does making and condensing steam end up with a different product than rain? &amp;nbsp;Distillers just seem to be repeating part of the hydrologic cycle in a container.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A better picture would be appreciated here - the &amp;quot;pure water&amp;quot; photograph is crystal clear. &amp;nbsp;The one of the &amp;#39;damaged distilled water&amp;#39; looks more like a pimple than anything else... &amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;ve also read that in order for these crystals to even form, that some &amp;quot;contaminant&amp;quot; needs to be present for the water to stick to and form these shapes. &amp;nbsp;If distilled water is free from anything except water - would that not account for the different shape (or in this case, apparently &amp;quot;shapeless&amp;quot;) crystals???&lt;/p&gt;

However, rain water is polluted. Spring water contains high radon levels that damage the body. Tap water usually contains fluoride and/or chlorine which damages the brain and lungs. Water should be a flush, not a food. Distilled water pulls toxins and residues from the body. Animals prefer to drink this water as well. I have not known anyone suffering from mineral depletion from drinking distilled water extensively. The body contains many corrosives, including digestive acids and saline. They react differently in a human body than they would in a lab.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;what u think bout effect of radon on spring water etc?&lt;/p&gt;
