ARTICLE: Water Part II 

by Mishelle Knuteson, MH

 

We get calls in the office almost daily about water, the alkaline water systems, and wanting to know the school's advice on water. I hope the article last week about the 9 different types of water enlightened you a bit on the issue. At the School of Natural Healing we use PURE H2O. Nothing added, deleted or changed in the chemical composition. The creator knew what he was doing when he put that formula together.
 
How do we get PURE H2O? From the book The Choice is Clear, Dr. Allen E. Banik states, "Distilled water is water which has been turned into vapor, so that virtually all its impurities are left behind. Then, by condensing, it is turned back into 'pure' water. Distillation is the single most effective method of water purification. It is God's water for the human race. In a manner of speaking, distillation is nature's way."
 
The common misconception that many people have about distilled water is that it leaches all the minerals from the body. We are even taught in the Master Herbalist course that distilled water is a "hungry water." Here is what Dr. Banik had to say about that, "The startling fact to remember is that water attracts chiefly inorganic minerals. Organic minerals stay in the tissues, where they belong. The only minerals the body can utilize are the organic minerals. All the others are foreign minerals and must be disposed of or eliminated." Thus the need for "hungry" water.
 
Pure water is so important in aiding good and vibrant health. The functions of water in the body (as we learn in level 200 in the Master Herbalist course) are as a lubricant, solvent, transportant, coolent and dispersent. It helps us digest food, maintain proper body temperature, moistens our lungs so that we can breath and helps the trillions of cells in the body to function. Water is the primary ingredient in all the fluids in our body and it helps hydrate the lymph system so that it can function properly, carrying away toxins and contaminates from the body. 
 
When drinking or storing water, pay attention to the type of container you use. The media is currently giving a lot of attention to Bisphenol A (BPA). This is a chemical found in plastic bottles that can leach into the liquid and cause a variety of severe health problems. Recycling code # 7 on  plastic (usually found on the bottom of the container) contains BPA. If the recycling code on your bottle is #2 (HDPE - high density polyethylene), or #4 (LDPE - low density polyethylene), or #5 (PP - polypropylene), your bottle is safe. The type of plastic bottle in which water is usually sold is #1, and is only recommended for one time use. Do not refill it. BPA-free containers are safe to use as a water bottle, although stainless steel reusable water bottles are the best option. They don't allow harmful chemicals to leach into the drinking water. 
 
To learn more about water, pick up your copy of The Choice is Clear by Dr. Allen Banik or read the article, "Why Distilled Water" By Dr. John R. Christopher in our new edition of the 3-Day Cleansing Program booklet.  See the News/Featured Product section below for more information.

·         1 ½ cups garbanzo beans

·         1 tbsp. Bragg's all purpose seasoning

·         ½ cup parsley chopped fine

·         ½ cup green onions, chopped fine

·         ¼ cup nutritional yeast flakes

·         ½ green bell pepper, chopped fine

·         1 cup celery, chopped fine

·         ½ cup Almonnaise

·         ½ tsp. Kelp (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1.      In a bowl using a potato masher, or in a food processor, mash garbanzo beans.  (Do not over-mash; should resemble a "flaked" texture.)

2.      Add remaining ingredients to mashed garbanzo beans and mix well.

3.      Chill in refrigerator.  Serve on a sandwiches or use on crackers or rice cakes.

Optional: Adding the kelp powder will give it a more "fishy" flavor.  Kelp powder can be at a natural food store.  Top with diced tomatoes and a handful of sprouts.

The Choice is Clear by Dr. Allen E. Banik

Water - it makes up most of every human being - all of the bodily processes depend on it - yet the water we drink is being steadily polluted by thousands of toxic substances, from disease germs and viruses to poisonous chemicals added by industry or, deliberately, as controversial "medication."

Tens of thousands of people have turned to different types of "purified" water out of concern for their health.  Yet, what are they really getting?  And what will it do for - or to - them?  Dr. Allen E. Banik explains how water functions in the body, what the effects of myriad pollutants in drinking water are, their contributions to disease - and most important of all, what really pure water is and how to obtain it.

You can purchase it for just $3.50 (plus shipping) from Christopher Publications, through this link:
