I figured out on my own that water is our natural source of minerals, therefore, I avoid RO (reverse osmosis). My concern is, how do I find a water filter that filters out the harmful chemicals and "bad" minerals without removing the good minerals? Any suggestions anyone? Thanks.

You can add natural salt (containing minerals) to your water (which is what Heimdall says companies do anyway) . Beware the "Himalayan" salts as they can contain a lot of fluoride, which you want to avoid. We use "real salt" which is from ancient beds in Utah, which I love as I have been trying to buy American anyway! I add some to our distilled drinking water, and we also use it liberally on/in foods. Sometimes I add extra for my own consumption as I have very low blood pressure.

I too would like to know about which filter to use?  And LHen, how does the flouride get in the "Himalayan" salts? Is it a natural occurence?   I use "Real Salt" (brand name?, I think) from our healthfood store.  How much do you add to your water without making it taste salty?  I sprinkle a little over my coffee grounds when making coffee in the morning without increased salt taste.  

what the heck?!?!?    himalayan salt contains fluoride?  but Utah salt does not?  its getting to the point where you don't know who to believe.  so......howzabout some documentation on that?  who says himalayan salt is high in fluoride?  isnt it just as ancient as your utah salt?  and why would there be more fluoride in the himalayas?

LHen, there has been many articles about the himalayan salts, and yes there is fluoride, but it is calcium fluoride, not the kind that harm you, and there is likely some in the salts from Utah. Stick to the real Himalayan salts and you'll be good to go.

VerdicCity: I buy deep well spring water. It has minerals (that is why I buy it) and I check the water supplier. The have test results on the wells they tap water from. Mine does not have fluoride, lead, etc. so I buy it. My supplier is Culligan (southern Nevada). I also buy Arrowhead springs, (deep well Canada), Crystal Geyser and Trader Joe's (original California Arrowhead well) in the market. There are many other deep well water resources. Spring water can turn green with algae if left in the sun, but it is not poisonous. Just keep your dispenser away from the sun.

I avoid purified because it pulls needful minerals from the body also. I have read that it is especially harmful for people with heart problems who need those minerals and my guess would be for osteo patients and ADD/ADHD too. Mineral deficiency is an important problem is the US because of our diet.

Just a note that sodium fluoride is the "bad" fluoride. All mineral forms are not alike. Just like sodium bicarbonate is not the same as sodium chloride other forms of fluoride are not the same a soduim fluoride. The original studies about fluoride and teeth were regarding stannous fluoride and it is not harmful.

Despite the fluoride, I drink green tea regularly. Since I started, I rarely get colds, flu, and my allergies improved. The anti-oxidants are awesome and prevent bad breath and cancer too! Drink up!

WE have been working with ozone for years and feel it is the best way to clean water.

I've often wondered about making distilled water from a solar distiller then adding food gradediatomaceous earth to distilled water(not swimming pool stuff).

I researched buying DE and the company provided the tested results of all the minerals in it-quite a few. I wonder if there's a way to determine whether or how much would change distilled water to a less corrosive acceptable drinking water?

What do you think?

It's safer and under your control to start with pure water and add organic minerals, such as organic fulvic minerals, etc.

I am a water consultant and have been studying water for ten years i agree wholeheartedly. Please check out the website watercure2.org and a fantastic book called The Bodies Many Cries For Water. The only water filter i recommend that really does the job is Nikken's PiMag and Optimiser
