Here's some info in a FAQ format about drinking distilled water. We endorse mypurewater and use one at home.

I drink filtered water. Why is distilled better for me?

While it’s better than drinking tap water, filters and reverse osmosis purification systems lose effectiveness over time, so chemicals and toxins can still pass through. In contrast, distillers are consistent. They use a phase change instead of a physical barrier. This means that whatever they remove the first time, they will remove the 1,000,000th time.

I don’t like drinking water. Why am I not thirsty?

If you are not often thirsty or don’t like drinking water, chances are there is some chemical in the water that your body doesn’t want.

This means your health could be suffering because of the water you drink. Switching to distilled could reverse this.

I feel worse when I drink distilled water. Should I stop drinking it?

You’ve been drinking certain chemicals for so long without realizing it, so now when you stop drinking your normal water, the body will start to purge chemicals that your body has built up. Our bodies cannot detox very well if we are constantly exposing it to chemicals.

When you are finally detoxing chemicals out, you may experience what is called “herxing” or “herx reactions.” So while you may be feeling worse, you are actually getting better. You are now draining and detoxing more effectively, and overtime your body will adjust.

How much distilled water should I drink?

We recommend drinking half your body weight in ounces of water a day, plus extra 5 ounces for every 15 minutes of strenuous exercise.

When on detox and/or elimination protocols, increase the water as well. Sometimes symptoms can be mitigated by just drinking more.

Are there any risks when drinking distilled water?

While there are no risks, some people have found that this water has a flat taste that can be unappealing. If this is an issue for you, we recommend adding a spritz of your favorite fruit in your water and tea to help with the taste. However, over time, your body will be craving this type of water, so you will get used to the taste.

You may also have an increased urine output that could result in an electrolyte imbalance, so make sure you are drinking enough water and eating healthy foods. But remember, urine output is a normal drainage pathway that is necessary for the body’s natural detoxification processes.

Why are the minerals in water not healthy? Isn’t it important to have these minerals for health?

The minerals in water are often in a toxic state that are not carbon-bonded (unlike minerals which are plant-derived in food). Therefore, they are not healthy. Think of the different mineral forms as consuming iron from a pipe (water) versus iron from spinach (food). So the removal of minerals in water will not harm you as long as you are eating a balanced diet of nutrient-rich foods.

Should I add anything to my water?

You can choose to add CT-Mineral capsules, 1-2 per day to replace any mineral lost from the water back into the body. Start with 1 capsule per day. Your body does not utilize water as a main mineral source. Water purifying pitchers and filters do not remove fluoride from the water or any of the other pollutants and toxic chemicals. Remember: distilled water does not rob your body of minerals. Toxins do that.
