My friend did state that he uses a high end distilling process at the lab as they need distilled water for some of thier processes. He states that the distilled water that he uses is not drinkable. The distiled water form the Ellis machine is obviously, at the very least, adding oxygen. Further tests are pending as free lab time permits. Meanwhile, go the your local pharmacy and by a gallon of sistilled water. They sell it for use in steam irons, batteries, etc. Drink a glass and you will understand the difference.
