Water, Distilled

The quality of municiple tap water is questionable. Recent reports have indicated that many municipal water authorities are in violation of clean water standards. Significant levels of organic and inorganic chemical such as pesticides, insecticides, fertilizers and lead have been found in musical water supplies. Unfortunately many of these pollutants are difficult to get rid of using the common purification methods that are in place in many areas of the country today.

Given the above information, a good quality water filtration system is a sound and healthy investment. Unfortunately, distilled water is not. distilled water may not remove all of the organic chemicals from the water, and it also removed all of the materials. Some practitioners believe that we should not consume distilled water, because it acts as a vacuum and require the body to use its own stores of minerals to balance it out. There are better methods of water filtration, which include reverse osmosis, charcoal filtering and deionization. These are all acceptable methods of water treatment.
