It's about six months later, how are you feeling now Pete?
I don't know if I mentioned this story before on TBR before, but maybe this will help further for you or others. In January, 1977, I was consulting to Classic Chemical in Camden, NJ, and flying Philly to Pittsburgh each week. One Friday, I sat next to a woman, she said she was 49 years of age, and she started telling me her story.
Eighteen months prior, she was diagnosed with cancer in her vital organs in her abdomen, and told by doctors she has three months to live. Now 15 years prior to this, she had cancer, went through chemo and radiation and given a clean bill of health. So, again she has cancer, she made the conscience decision not to do chemo and radiation again, and decided to do the Layetril Diet(not sure of spelling). For those of you old enough, you may remember this. She explained it was mega doses of vitamins and minerals, restricted diet, no spicy food, no alcohol, coffee, tea or soda, and she was only allowed to drink distilled water or frozen concentrated juices with distilled water. She also did other things too as part of the therapy.
In any case, her cancer went away completely. She went on to say that she bought a water distiller to make her own water, and her whole family drank distilled water and found tap water offensive.
End of 1978, I get married and move from Pittsburgh, PA, to Tampa, FL. The water in Tampa is the worst in the country in my opinion. Remembering what the woman above told me, I started buying distilled water off the shelf in the grocery store. Did that for a year, bought my first house, and told my wife I am tired of lugging jugs of water from the grocery store. Checked the yellow pages, and there was a couple listed selling distillers. Bought one and have been drinking distilled water ever since.
I am a firm believer in drinking distilled water. Why? Chlorine and Flouride are extremely toxic and both are carcinogenic.
Also, municipalities add as many as 46 different chemicals to the water for treatment, which you would consume. I consider tap water unsafe for long term living. Look around at the people getting cancer. It is no mystery to me why.
There is a lot to know about water, which is usually a boring subject for most. My friend Al, who I mentioned further up the thread who used shark cartilage, I convinced him to also use only distilled water. I believe with the many case studies I have witnessed, that distilled water helps purify the body, removing anything that does not belong.
I believe firmly, I will never have a blocked artery, never have kidney or gall stones, never have arthritic deposits in my joints, etc. There was a recent study published indicating that with virtually every Alzheimer patient, there was a buildup of a particular protein in the brain. If this is true, I suspect I will never have that either. Distilled water helps keep anything that does not belong to exit the body. Bottomline, I believe one can extend their life ten years by drinking it.
For those that have cancer, I strongly recommend using distilled water. If you look online, the detractors will say it leaches minerals out of the body. Well, I have been drinking distilled water for 42 years, and I am in perfect health. It is important to eat a balanced diet, and I also recommend taking a vitamin/mineral supplement daily. If you have a poor diet, and eat junk, you will have a problem. But then that is true regardless of drinking distilled water.
My closest roommate from college days was in good shape, athletic and active. He was a sports reporter for a newspaper in Virginia, and he had chest pains at age 47 and was taken to a hospital and he died while they had him cracked open on the operating table. He ate junk food every day for lunch, i.e. McDonalds, etc.
It is not only food that makes a difference going into your body. Since your body is comprised of roughly 84% water, I believe the water you drink is just as important if not more so.
