Myths about distilled water

Distilled water is produced from tap or spring water by distillation. By this process the water is freed from ions, trace elements and impurities. It is used as a solvent and cleaning agent in medicine, pharmacy, biology and chemistry. In the trade there is simply distilled water for car batteries or steam irons. However, this water is not really pure distilled water. Therefore it is not used in medicine. This is demineralized water, which is demineralized in an ion exchanger. This water is available for little money. Really pure distilled water is expensive and uneconomical due to the complex production process.

Distilled water is not drinking water

Wrong! Who does not know the saying of the pharmacist or the chemistry teacher: "Never drink distilled water. You can get water poisoning. Because water deprives the body of vital minerals!"

Unfortunately such sayings are from grandma's time and do not correspond to the truth. Why? If you drink distilled water, your stomach is enriched with trace elements. This happens through the food we eat. Many people swear by the aroma of tea brewed with distilled water. Nor can minerals or nutrients be flushed out of the cells. This is because our cell membranes are permeable (semi-permeable). Only water molecules pass through them. Sugar molecules or salts are too large and do not enter the cell through the cell membrane.

Drinking distilled water is even good and can even be a health food. Because it does not contain any harmful substances such as nitrates, lead, herbicides or pesticides. From time to time such cures should be taken, but not permanently. Whoever eats an unbalanced diet and drinks this water constantly must expect to deprive his body of potassium and sodium ions and thus upset the electrolyte balance. In warm summer times, where there is a lot of sweating, the distillate should be left out.

Never make cures with distilled water

Wrong! The most important function of water is purification. This means that poisonous metabolic residues should be removed from the body. This works best when the water is "empty" and "unsaturated". This means: the less minerals and other substances the water has, the better it can absorb dissolved pollutants in the body and flush them out. It can be compared to a magnetic effect. The toxins are attracted, retained and transported away. In contrast, hard mineral water interferes with the purification of the blood. Anyone who drinks water that cannot be transported must expect the blood to thicken. If the flow rate of the blood decreases, many harmful substances remain in the body and can be the cause of many illnesses in the long run.

Distilled water is distilled water

Wrong! Not every bottle of distilled water has distillate on it. You can buy 5 litre canisters of distilled water for a par cent. Unfortunately this is usually demineralized water. This is produced in an ion exchanger. In the trade it is available under "ironing water" or "battery water". Here you can find organic substances or other impurities.

Genuine distilled water is really expensive to produce and can be obtained from pharmacies. Also here you can get single and double distilled water, which is suitable for a cure.
