I thought the absence of anything (pure) but water would have a neutral ph? I am confused.

How did you measure it ?

RD

We have been around and around with that one. If this is true I should be long dead.

Disease and early death! Oh my. MH can tell you about PH water testing.
"According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, "Distilled water, being essentially mineral-free, is very aggressive, in that it tends to dissolve substances with which it is in contact."
This is an experiment we can try at home. What kind of substance should I try to disolve? Since we are talking about the body here, I'm going to go home and put a piece of chicken in a bowl of distilled water and one in tap water and see if one of them disolves. Just for fun.

I distilled water and used it on the plants that I grew hydropnically, but never considered drinking it without first buffering it with minearals to raise the pH. My distilled water consistantly had a pH of 5.2

FOR YEARS I USE TO THINK DISTILLED WATER WAS ACID, BECAUSE THE TESTERS I USED CLAIMED IT WAS, YET AT WORK, THE CHEMIST USED DISTILLED WATER ALWAYS FOR ALL TESTING, SIMPLY BECAUSE IT WAS pH 7 AND THE GUAGES ALL SOAKED IN DISTILLED WATER SO THEY WOULD STAY NEUTRAL....

SO FOR YEARS I KEPT SAYING DISTILLED WATER TEST ACID,,,,BUT NEVER UNDERSTOOD HOW IT COULD....THEN 1 DAY TALKING TO DR. HAY IN MO I MENTIONED DISTILLED WATER WAS A LITTLE ACID AND HE SAID: "PARDON ME" AND HE SET ME STRAIGHT...HE ALSO HAD A BROTHER THAN OWNED A WATER DISTILLING COMPANY AS WELL AND HE ASSURED ME THAT ALL DISTILLED WATER IS pH 7 NEUTRAL....AND THAT THE CHEAP TESTING DEVICES CAN NOT TEST PURE WATER...

SO THAT MADE ME ASK THE CHEMIST AT THE FACTORY AND THEY SHOWED ME THEIR MONTHLY WATER TEST THAT COST THE COMPANY $500.00 PER WATER TEST AND EVEN THOUGH WE HAD EXTREMELY EXPENSIVED GAS/STYLE TESTING DEVICES ALL COMPUTERIZED IN THEIR OWN ENVIRONMENTAL LABS, ETC.....THE COMPANY HAD NOTHING TO CORRECTLY TEST WATER AND HAD TO SUPPLY THIS INFO ONCE PER MONTH TO THEIR CUSTOMERS LIKE FORD/GMC/HONDA/TOYOTA/NISSIAN/DETROIT DISIEL,ARMY, TANK-MULTI FUEL/AIRPLANE SILVER, ETC.....BECAUSE THESE COMPANIES REQUIRED THAT THE PLATING SOLUTIONS WE USED TO MAKE LIQUID FILM COATINGS ON THE BEARINGS DIDN'T HAVE TOO MUCH BAD MINERALS IN THE CITY WATER WE USED....AND WE DID HAVE TO DEIONIZE THE CITY WATER BEFORE WE COULD USE IT, ETC.......

THEN I ASKED THE LARGEST COMPANY IN THE WORLD OF pH STRIPS AND THEY SAID THEY SOLD LIQUID TESTING FOR WATER, BECAUSE NO TEST STRIP CAN TEST WATER... AFTER SOME YEARS, I CONCLUDED DR. HAY AND ALL THE DISTILLED WATER BOOK AUTHORS WERE 100% CORRECT, THAT DISTILLED WATER IS pH 7....SO I WILL HAVE TO ARGUE THAT YOUR STATEMENT IS INCORRECT, EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE MENTIONED YOU HAVE COLLEGE EDUCATION IN SUCH SUBJECTS AS THIS.......

I KNOW THIS FACT:
WHEN I DISTILL MY WATER
THE TRASH MINERALS ARE ALKALINE pH 13+
I KNOW THERE ARE WATER MACHINES THAT PITCHES THE ALKALINE MINERALS AND SAVES THE ACID MINERALS AND SUGGEST THE CUSTOMERS PAY $800.00 FOR THE MACHINE AND THIS ACID WATER STERILIZES WELLS, TANKS OF WATER, PONDS, ETC....PROVING TO ME, THAT THE ACID WATER IS VERY TOXIC AND I HAVE SEEN AT LEAST 1 MAN DIE FROM CONSUMING IT FOR A FEW YEARS IN MY OPINION. I HAVE SPENT $$$$/TIME BUYING WATER MACHINES YEARS AGO FROM AROUND THE WORLD, ETC....AND AFTER A FEW YEARS, I BELIEVED THIS:
MACHINES THAT "MODIFY" WATER ARE TOXIC MACHINES....BUT PLAIN OLD STEAM DISTILLERS SIMPLE REMOVE THE INORGANIC MINERALS FROM PURE WATER...

IT IS A FACT:
ANYTHING OTHER THAN H20 IS NOT WATER, IT IS WATER PLUS SOME MINERAL/CONTAMINANT.



Here is a distilled water article worth reading
LETS SEE?????

Early Death Comes From Drinking Distilled Water
by Zoltan P. Rona MD MSc
A TRASH BOOK, BY AN AUTHOR THAT WOULD KILL MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IF HE COULD...SUCH TRASH BOOKS/AUTHORS HAVE 1 PLACE ON EARTH: IN THE DUMPSTER AND ON THIS FORUM, SUCH TRASH IS NEVER ALLOWED...


During nearly 19 years of clinical practice I have had the opportunity to observe the health effects of drinking different types of water. Most of you would agree that drinking unfiltered tap water could be hazardous to your health because of things like parasites, chlorine, fluoride and dioxins.
UNFILTERED? FILTERS CREATE A HABITAT FOR BACTERIA, SO THIS AUTHOR WITH OUT EXPLAINING THE TYPE OF FILTER, ETC...IS LOST.

Many health fanatics, however, are often surprised to hear me say that drinking distilled water on a regular, daily basis is potentially dangerous.
NO, I RECOGNIZE SUCH OVER EDUCATED FOOLS ADS EVIL BEINGS...THE TYPES WILLIAM BRANHAM JUST MARKED AS EVIL AND NOT ABLE TO CHANGE THEIR WAYS BECAUSE OF THEIR FATHER....THE FATHER THE CATHOLICS CALL THE DEVIL OR FATHER OF ALL LIARS.

Paavo Airola wrote about the dangers of distilled water in the 1970's when it first became a fad with the health food crowd.
HOW STUPID TO BELIEVE SUCH IDIOTS
FOR OVER 150 YEARS MEDICAL HAS PROVED DISTILLED WATER AND PRESCRIBED IT FOR NEW BORN BABIES...SO YOUR BOOK SO FAR IS TRASH AND ALL SUCH BOOKS JUST WASTE TIME.....BUT I WILL ENTERTAIN THIS ONE....

Distillation is the process in which water is boiled, evaporated and the vapor condensed. Distilled water is free of dissolved minerals and, because of this, has the special property of being able to actively absorb toxic substances from the body and eliminate them.
A LIE
CLEAN WATER IS DEAD, IT HAS NO ABILITY TO DO ANYTHING...THE BLOOD/BODY MAKES USE OF PURE WATER AND CLEANSES THE BLOOD STREAM, ETC.....

Studies validate the benefits of drinking distilled water when one is seeking to cleanse or detoxify the system for short periods of time (a few weeks at a time).
A RETARDED STATMENT

Fasting using distilled water can be dangerous because of the rapid loss of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) and trace minerals like magnesium, deficiencies of which can cause heart beat irregularities and high blood pressure. Cooking foods in distilled water pulls the minerals out of them and lowers their nutrient value.
ABSOLUTLEY STUPID BEYOND BELIEF, LUCKILY MOST OF THE PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM IGNORES SUCH TRASH AUTHORS...

FOR THE RECORD, IF YOU CALL BRENDA UP AND TELL HER SUCH TRASH, SHE WILL LAUGH AT YOU...ALL OUR BOYS HAVE BEEN BRED AND RAISED ON DISTILLED WATER...MY WIFE REFUSES TO LIVE IN A HOME WITH OUT 100% DISTILLED WATER TO DRINK AND COOK WITH, ETC...

Distilled water is an active absorber and when it comes into contact with air, it absorbs carbon dioxide, making it acidic. The more distilled water a person drinks, the higher the body acidity becomes.
THEN SURELY MY BOYS SHOULD BE STUPID, BUT FOR SOME REASON THEY STILL ALL GET STRAIGHT "A" AND EXCELL IN MATH AND MEMORIZATION; BESIDES BEING COORDINATED IN SPORTS AND THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN TO AN M.D. FOR A SICKNESS THEIR ENTIRE LIVES.... THE PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM THAT HAVE SUCCESFUL LEARNED AND APPLIED THE USE OF CLEAN WATER IN THEIR HOMES...KNOWS WHEN THEY TRAVEL OUT SIDE THEIR HOME, THAT THE WATER IS SO DIRTY IT ABOUT MAKES THEM GAG TO KNOW THEY MUST DRINK IT.

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, "Distilled water, being essentially mineral-free, is very aggressive, in that it tends to dissolve substances with which it is in contact.
RAIN WATER / DISTILLED WATER
YES, WHEN YOU POUR BOTH DOWN TO THE GROUND, THE PURE WATER PICKS UP INORGANIC ROCK AND THAT ROCK TEN LEADS TO THE DEATH OF HUMANS...THE ONLY CURE IS TO REMOVE THE ROCK (MINERALS) BEFORE YOU DRINK THE WATER THAT HAS CONTACTED THE EARTH.

Notably, carbon dioxide from the air is rapidly absorbed,
WOW....I AM GOING TO GO OUT ON A LIMB HERE AND SAY MY SALIVA AND FLUIDS IN MY LUNGS/BLOOD ABSORBS THAT STUFF WITH EVERY BREATH I TAKE...AND ANY AUTHOR SO STUPID TO TRY TO MAKE A CASE WITHTHIS ABOUT DISTILLED WATER IS A NUT CASE...

BUT SINCE I AM THE FIRST TO SAY I WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH COLLEGE EDUCATED GENUSES....SIMPLE BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN A BOOK WORLD AND OFTEN THOSE BOOKS JUST PASS DOWN THE LIES OF THE AUTHOR.....MANY SUCH BOOKS CAN DECEIVE THIS WORLD FR MANY YEARS...BUT IN THE CASE OF DISTILLED WATER...IT IS A NO BRAINER....WATER WITH INORGANIC MINERALS IN IT, IS THE NUMBER 1 SOURCE FOR PREMATURE HUMAN DEATH AND I WILL STAND BY THAT STATEMENT.....I DOUBT WHEN IT COMES TO "NATURE", WATER WITH MINERALS WILL REMAIN THE NUMBER 1 KILLER OF HUMANS. UNNATURAL MAN MADE METHODS MAY KILL HUMANS FASTER, BUT WATER WITH MINERALS GETS ALL HUMANS EVENTUALLY...

making the water acidic and even more aggressive. Many metals are dissolved by distilled water."
FUNNY YOU MENTION THAT:
BUY A CAN OF COKE AND PUT A HANDFULL OF IRON NAILS IN IT FOR A WEEK AND THEN LOOK AT THE NAILS.....DO THE SAME WITH DISTILLED WATER AND PLAIN CREEK WATER, ETC.....AND ALL YOU WILL HAVE DOEN IS WASTE YOUR TIME...BECAUSE THE MEDICAL FACTS WILL NEVER CHANGE..PURE WATER IN MINERAL FREE WATER.

The most toxic commercial beverages that people consume (i.e. cola beverages and other soft drinks) are made from distilled water.
B/S
NO WAY ON THIS PLANET IS ANY WORTHLESS LOWLIFE MURDERING POP COMPANY IS GOING TO TAKE TH TIME TO DISTILL THEIR WATER SOURCE.....THESE POP COMPANIES ARE LOCATED IN MAJOR CITIES, USING TAP WATER...."IF" THEY EVER DO ANYTHING, THEY POUR ACID IN THEIR WATER TO "BURN" OUT THE MINERALS SUCH AS "DEIONAZATION"....NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I EVER READ A POP LABEL WHERE THE MANUFACTURE DECLARES THEY DISTILL THEIR WATER...I MEAN WHY IN HELL WOULD THEY::::: THEN FILL THE WATER WITH CORN SYRUP/ACIDS/CHEMICAL FLAVORING??????????? THEY REFUSE TO USE GRAPE SUGAR OVER CORN SYRUP BECAUSE IT SAVES THEN 1 PENNY PER CAN, EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THEIR CORN SYRUP IS HARMING THE WORLD POPULATION.

Studies have consistently shown that heavy consumers of soft drinks (with or without sugar) spill huge amounts of calcium, magnesium and other trace minerals into the urine.
WELL DA....WHAT THE _____ HAS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH DISTILLED WATER!!!! HOW ON THIS EARTH COULD YOU SUGGEST SUCH A STUPID AUTHOR IS WORTH READING?

The more mineral loss, the greater the risk for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, hypothyroidism, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure and a long list of degenerative diseases generally associated with premature aging.
SAME AS LAST PARAGRAPH

A growing number of health care practitioners and scientists from around the world have been advocating the theory that aging and disease is the direct result of the accumulation of acid waste products in the body.
SAME AS LAST/.....INFO HAS NO RELATIONSHIP TO DISTILLED WATER.

There is a great deal of scientific documentation that supports such a theory. A poor diet may be partially to blame for the waste accumulation. Meats, sugar, white flour products, fried foods, soft drinks, processed foods, alcohol, dairy products and other junk foods cause the body to become more acidic. Stress, whether mental or physical can lead to acid deposits in the body.
SAME AS ABOVE

There is a correlation between the consumption of soft water (distilled water is extremely soft)
NOW YOUR GETTING JUST PLAIN IGNORANT
SOFT WATER AKA SALT SOFTENED WATER IS VERY TOXIC AND SURE, DISTILLED WATER IS SOFT, BUT NOTHING TO DO WITH SALT SOFTENED WATER....THIS AUTHOR IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF.....SUCH DEMONS COULDN'T TELL THE STRAIGHT TRUTH EVER....THEY MIX IN THEIR TRASH WITH FACTS, TRYING TO DECIEVE THE WORLD...


and the incidence of cardiovascular disease. Cells, tissues and organs do not like to be dipped in acid and will do anything to buffer this acidity including the removal of minerals from the skeleton and the manufacture of bicarbonate in the blood.

The longer one drinks distilled water, the more likely the development of mineral deficiencies and an acid state. I have done well over 3000 mineral evaluations using a combination of blood, urine and hair tests in my practice. Almost without exception, people who consume distilled water exclusively, eventually develop multiple mineral deficiencies.
THIS IS THE TYPE OF LIAR THAT MURDERS HUMANS....AND YOU LIKE HIM? POSSIBLE YOUR OVER EDUCATED AND UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS WORTHLESS AUTHOR IS ACTUALLY WRITING WITH HIS MIXED WORDS AND FALSE TEACHING OF NO FACTUAL BACKING...

Those who supplement their distilled water intake with trace minerals are not as deficient but still not as adequately nourished in minerals as their non-distilled water drinking counterparts even after several years of mineral supplementation.
HOW ##### STUPID CNA ANYONE BE....
EVERY HUMAN ON THIS PLANET DRINKING DISTILLED WATER, ALSO EATS FOOD...SO THIS IS JUST ABOUT THE MOST IGNORANT STATEMENT AN AUTHOR COULD WRITE AND ANYONE BELIEVES SUCH TRASH??????? SURELY THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND NATURE....

The ideal water for the human body should be alkaline and this requires the presence of minerals like calcium and magnesium.
A LIE
YOUR WATER HAD BETTER BE NEUTRAL OF YOUR STOMACH WILL REACT TO IT AND YOUR PANCREAS, ALL OF WHICH WILL THEN CAUSE YOUR BLOOD TO COME TO TH RESCUE, WHICH MEANS BONE LOSS.....SUCH AS HAPPENS TO EVERY HUMAN THAT CONSUMES DIRTY WATER WITH ROCK IN IT.

Distilled water tends to be acidic and can only be recommended as a way of drawing poisons out of the body. Once this is accomplished, the continued drinking of distilled water is a bad idea.
JUST IGNORANT, DOES NOT EVEN MAKE SENSE..

... Disease and early death is more likely to be seen with the long term drinking of distilled water. Avoid it except in special circumstances.
AGAIN A STUPID STATEMENT THAT COUNTERDICKS ITS SELF..
