Finally, Physical Proof that Distilled Water is Inferior

Dr. Masaru Emoto, a visionary researcher from Japan received certification from the Open International University as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine. Subsequently he was introduced to the concept of micro cluster water in the US and Magnetic Resonance Analysis technology. The quest thus began to discover the mystery of water.

He undertook extensive research of water around the planet not so much as a scientific researcher but more from the perspective of an original thinker. At length he realized that it was in the frozen crystal form that water showed us its true nature.

Distilled Water Water from a pure source

Dr Emoto began by studying the crystallization process of water It all started in 1994 when he took samples of water from various sources, froze a few droplets, examined them under a dark field microscope and photographed them. He photographed the crystal formations produced by water as it passes from liquid into freezing state.

It is like taking a snapshot of the water at that moment in time. He quickly realized that the crystals that formed from water depended highly on the natural health of the water. In other words, water from natural springs, healing water sources etc, formed beautiful and complex crystalline geometries - like snowflakes.

Water that had been distilled, polluted or passed through consumption had lost its inner order. This leads to the realization that natural healthy water carries an 'inner order' defining its nature and properties.

Dr. Mercola''s Comments Dr. Mercola's Comments:

In April I attended the SkaSys lecture by Dr. Hans Lechner. This amazing technology allows one to successfully harness consciousness as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool.

Dr. Lechner shared detailed of his recent meeting with Dr. Emoto and it became clear that this technology could clearly demonstrate the danger of distilled water at a clear and easily seen level.

Although it is controversial I am firmly convinced that distilled water is harmful to your health.

One of the major foundational reasons is that distilled water is highly acidic. Most of us are far too acidic already and the last thing we need to be drinking is a fluid that will make us even more acidic.

Distilled water is alleged to be beneficial due to its lack of contaminants. Well, many of the devices that distill water are made of metal and will actually add certain toxic metals like nickel back to the water, which actually worsens health.

Since distilled water is like a vacuum without any minerals, it will actually leach beneficial minerals from your body to balance it out. While this maybe beneficial for a short period during some sort of detoxification regimen, this is usually highly counter productive in the long run.

Then there is the physics of the water. Water is structured and when it is distilled the structure becomes profoundly disturbed as you can see by the pictures above.

It is possible to restructure the water by putting it in a clear glass container, adding a few minerals and leaving it out in the sunshine for a day. This will help to restore the normal beneficial structure that water should have to promote health.

I believe it was the Asians who popularized the saying that one picture is worth a thousand words, so please enjoy the pictures which will help you appreciate the difference between natural spring water and distilled water.

according stewart swerdlow: The human body is designed to drink rain water, which is naturally distilled. 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.

what u think bout effect of radon on spring water etc?

The Pure and Brita water filters are inferior filters because of the granulated nature of the carbon in the filters that lose their effectiveness very quickly, and only filter out the chlorine.   Plus, you have to replace it every 3 months.  A solid carbon filter is much more effective, and reduce (by 95% or more) many more contaminents, heavy metals, drugs, water sanitizing after-products, sediment, and parasites, and is good for one year.  The Multi-Pure water filter is one of these.  The Aquadome is inexpensive to purchase, and the replacement filters are not pricey either.  I love the water that comes out of my filter.

This is interesting, but I wonder how this works.  It seems that distillation would basically be repeating the processes of nature, just by adding a lot more heat.  

** 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?  Distillers just seem to be repeating part of the hydrologic cycle in a container.

A better picture would be appreciated here - the "pure water" photograph is crystal clear.  The one of the 'damaged distilled water' looks more like a pimple than anything else...  I've also read that in order for these crystals to even form, that some "contaminant" needs to be present for the water to stick to and form these shapes.  If distilled water is free from anything except water - would that not account for the different shape (or in this case, apparently "shapeless") crystals???

WHOA - I have a major problem with this:

While I became fascinated with Emoto's work, and the idea behind it - consciousness and other factors affecting water,

I have recently become convinced that it is BUNK!  I don't say this lightly, as I still do believe in energy and the like.

However, careful research of Emoto's work, and even reading his own books, one finds a COMPLETE lack of

rigorous methods that tie together the experiments with the supposed claimed results and cause-effect.

He simply takes hundreds of photos of water, then has a team PICK which samples they SUBJECTIVELY find most beautiful or symmetrical.

Then they APPLY their choces to the terms, or groups, or origins of the water they are testing.  Check it all out for yourself.

I so wanted to believe in this stuff, but it is ENTIRELY misleading.

If someone could VERIFIABLY do these experiments, or counter my argument with some real evidence, I would be open minded about it.

I'm a little leery of this being actual science when websites like GodsDirectContact, etc., are referenced.

Even if the science is valid, why discredit it with mysticism?
