About Drinking Waters
The best water for our health is living, mature, unaltered, natural spring water that is most often low in minerals.
It is this kind of water that biophysically has the characteristics of high life-energy: electromagnetic frequencies and vibration patterns that resonate with those in our body.
Despite the biophysical qualify of water, we should also make sure that our natural spring or artesian water is not only low in minerals, but also free from pollutants. Nitrate values over 0.03 ounce per two pints of water are officially in the safe range and allowed. However, they are not recommended.
In the U.S. alone there are hundreds of brands of bottled waters and as many specialty drinking waters defined and labeled as ``artesian,'' ``distilled,'' ``drinking,'' ``mineral,'' ``purified,'' ``sparkling'' and ``spring'' water. Natural waters include spring waters and mineral waters and, as such, must be bottled directly at the source. Unnatural waters include sparkling or carbonated water and most drinking water.
There continues to be much debate about the health effects of the various mineral waters. Bottled mineral water producers in the U.S. are not allowed to advertise their mineral waters as beneficial for your health.
Switching from tap water to mineral water is, in most cases, like jumping out of a frying pan into the fire. In fact, in many cases the local water qualities of tap water are better than mineral water from the supermarket. Of course you can drink carbonated water or tap water. In many restaurants there are often no alternatives to tap water.
Some Facts about Water: Up to 300 pesticides and fungicides pollute the drinking water in America alone.
The pressure in the water pipes destroy the structure of water.
The minerals in mineral water are too coarse to be absorbed by the body and therefore have no value. They can even be damaging to our body's health.
It is best to drink natural, vital, pollutant-free, unaltered, mineral-poor water (not distilled!!!!!)
Carbonated and ozonated waters are dead waters and have no value for our health.
(from "Water & Salt" - a German book that has been in my library for a few years - now available in English)
Take care.

Intersting to see this..Bottled water was a hot topic at our support group meeting tonight..We were told that most bottled water was acidic..
And I thought I was helping my health by drinking it and discovered I was drinking one of the worst offenders..And now I understand why I have some fluid retention issues..

Hey-you beat me home LMT. How many frogs did you run over on ride home?
I did find this evening's Harford County support group to be very interesting-and informative-but about the only thing I remember is to stop drinking gallons of TAP water a day.
Guess if anyone wants to know what particular brand of bottled water is recommended they have to pm us huh? I'll take your lead and not mention anything on thread.
GiGi are you telepathic? I never would have questioned what kind of water to drink-until tonight's meeting-and your post-so thanks for keeping us educated and healthy.

Thats true most water is on the acidic side...found this out the hard way with my injured bladder.... poor bladder kept flaring when i drank dasani.
So i did research and can only drink Evian...PH of 7.2 not sure if this meets the above guidelines...but it works for my bladder.

I don't trust water that has been in plastic bottles. Plasticizers leach into the water. I read it is especially bad to leave plastic water bottles in the car in the summer. The heat helps even more chemicals get into the water.
I use a Brita filter at home & in the summer I keep glass bottles of San Pellegrino in the car. I also have a stainless Steel water bottle I refill with Brita Water. The water tastes so much better out of this bottle rather than plastic.

I walked into my homeopaths and there was a very nice married couple. The woman had gotten lyme a few months ago, thought it was a spider bite, but now she walks with a cane.
Anyway, after doing only 6 weeks of antibiotics (not enough in my opinion) she is doing homeopaths and gets energized water (along with other things she is doing). She says her energy has gotten so much better.
Well, apparently the crystals change. My homeopath knew all about this and showed me pictures of crystals. Your cells absorb it so much better. It's not heavy in your stomach either.
Very interesting and I have not tried this myself, but I am considering it.
anyone else doing this?
As for plastic bottles....very bad... yeah I know what is a person to do?
I bought a couple of polycarbonate bottles 2.2 liter size to drink out of.
