No to Distilled Water Only Paul Bragg. Norman Walker. Herbert Shelton.
I bet you
recognize the names of the above three "big gun writers" of the
modern natural health and raw food movement. Each of these men It's amazing to me how blindly most health seekers follow the advice of the above three gurus as well as the advice of modern health writers who use Bragg, Walker, and Shelton as their main sources of truth. Indeed, if you spend more than about ten minutes reading many modern natural health writers, you'll quickly learn that all serious health seekers should shun any kind of water other than distilled water. Why? Because Paul Bragg, Norman Walker, and Herbert Shelton said so. Well, I bought into this commonly-accepted "truth" back in 1993 when I started my health journey, and I continued to buy into it for more than five years before I started to question its validity. I started to question the value of drinking distilled water for the long-term when I finally opened my eyes enough to realize I was relying on information that was, in most cases, more than 50 years old.
Let me say here
that I still consider distilled water the water of choice when
detoxing or working to heal a serious health challenge. To quote
Dr. Zoltan Rona, who feels the same way:
"Distillation is the process in which water is boiled, evaporated and the vapour 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. 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). 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." Click Here for Dr. Zoltan Rona's Full Article

advocated a predominantly uncooked vegetarian diet (though
Walker allowed cheese and Bragg allowed occasional meat or
fish), and each also advocated distilled water as the only kind
of water to drink.
