Dr Cee, just curious. What is the source of the distilled water
you drink? And, what persuades you that the minerals in natural
sourced water are toxic? Thanks.
Oddly enough, the distilled water I prefer comes from springs.
As far as the salt, which we call minerals, in water not being
beneficial to humans, it goes back to what I was taught.
In olden times, to lay waste to an area meant to put salt on the
land. Nothing would grow.
What is the source of the minerals involved in wrinkles and the
setting of the skin? What is the source of the minerals in
cataracts? What is the source of the minerals in hardening of the
arteries? What is the source of the minerals in arthritic deposits?
Man is not a drinking creature. Yep, one more piece of strange
information. Yet, this has been proven by human experimentation
whereby humans living in an ideal temperature range and fed only
high water fresh foods have not needed to drink extra water for
years. All their water came from their food. Yep, like many other
creatures, man really can meet all his need for fresh, pure water
from the food that he consumes. I have personally gone for over a
month without the need for additional water, when I am living
correctly.
Man needs minerals. Maybe 60, or more, considering they may be
"macro"minerals or "micro" minerals. The big health question
is, "in what form should the minerals be in for man to be able to
absorb and use them with benefit"?
They need to be in form as found in our living foods, the fruits
and the veggies. You can try the salts, you can drink sea water,
you can use sea salt, you can chew on rocks, you can powder the
rocks, you can chemically make salts, etc., but the only form
useable by man are the minerals produced by the living organisms
we call fruits and veggies. I would like to see more research
into this area. In what form are the minerals in the living
organisms? One of the strange things is that to the chemist,
Potassium is a monovalent cation. However, laboratory data shows
that Potassium, K+, responds as K- in biochemical fluids.
How is this possible?
Why is this the order of the living organism?
Keep in mind that all the work on osteporosis is bogus. The reason
why older women that were found to be osteoporetic were near 60 is
that it takes the time from age 25 to 60 to lose 60 to 70% of the
bones and only with this amount of bone loss could the allopath
diagnose the condition based upon X-RAY data. Hormones had
nothing to do with it. Giving calcium supplements is
laughable. The small amount absorbed will be stored as "stone"
and not "bone". That is correct, the mineral will be stored as
stone and not bone and only and autopsy can prove that, not X-rays.
I consider the salts in tap water to be the toxic reminants of what
once were minerals in a different form that were previously
beneficial.

You cannot secure nor restore health with pus or poisons.
Sorry I'm just now reading this. Several of your premises are
interesting and, in my view, on the mark. Force-feeding water is a
mistake. High-water content fresh foods is a primary reason for
eating a raw (or partially raw) diet in the first place. I don't
agree, though, that minerals must be in one specific organic form to
be metabolized. Studies have shown that populations exposed to higher
magnesium content water have better cardiovascular health, for
example. It seems likely to me that humans (and pre-humans) had
sufficient exposure to water sources in past epochs for our species to
evolve a beneficial metabolic response to other forms of minerals. We
may both be right, however, because some humans may not have inherited
those particular genes due to lineage with ancestors *not* so
exposed. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence that there are
different nutritional needs for each one of us. Since individual
biochemistry is attributable to genetics, the availability of free
flowing water might be just one more factor in our metabolic
adaptation. My reason for drinking spring water, though, was not
because of the mineral content. Strangely, it's the reverse. I was
able to assay my original spring source (not my new one,
unfortunately) for its low fluoride content, as that was my main
criteria. Whether man-made or naturally occurring, high fluoride
water leads to weak bones as we age, and because of its ubiquity in
the food chain, I wanted to reduce this exposure as much as
possible.
Calcium supplementation? I've seen excess supplementation almost end
a life. It's the number one over "prescribed/supplemented" mineral.
My food study showed that the actual relationship of calcium to
magnesium in a large variety of fresh foods (not just the leafy greens
selected for what would be an unusually restrictive diet) is 1:1 for
vegetarians, and slightly higher for MAGNESIUM in meat eaters (.
85:1.0.) I agree that calcium is not the solution for osteo diseases,
not central, and (except in very rare cases) not advisable to
supplement. Other than balanced *overall* nutrition (and avoiding
fluoride), it appears that moderate impact exercise is the best way to
preserve bone mass and integrity as we age.
Thanks for the info, enjoyed the chat, be well.
