Water Protocol
"All of us have cancerous or acidic
body cells from conception to death to a lesser or greater degree
depending upon lifestyle and dietary choices. The body is
constantly trying to maintain its alkaline design while dealing with its many
acidic functions. The body requires energy to run and the consumption of energy
produces dietary and metabolic acidic waste products. If these dietary and
metabolic acidic waste products are not eliminated through urination,
perspiration, defecation or respiration they are then eliminated into the body
tissues, such as the connective tissues, muscles and bones. These dietary and/or
metabolic acids that are not properly eliminated can then spoil body cells
leading to an acidic or cancerous state I call latent tissue acidosis."
Doctor
Young talking about the nature of cancer
"It is my strong belief that the
single most powerful intervention the majority of Americans can make for their
physical health would be to stop drinking all sodas and juices and replace them
with health promoting pure water. This is such an important issue due to the
fact that nearly 75 percent of the
US
is overweight and the number one source of calories is sugar from soda. Needless
to say diet sodas are even worse.”
Doctor Joseph Mercola MD
“Upon arising drink lots of water.
Drink a liter, two liters before you have any coffee, tea whatever.”
David Wolfe
"Water that has been softened is
water that has been shorn of its valuable mineral content. The use of softened
water is highly correlated with an increased incidence of cancer. heart attacks
and strokes."
Sally Fallon, Note this is why I do not filter my water in the wilderness
"Excessive liquids taken at meals dilute stomach acid and put
undue strain on the digestive process. Iced water with a meal makes digestion
very difficult." Sally Fallon
Without water we are soon
dead. Next to air it’s probably the most important thing your body needs. Your
body requires a constant input of clean water (See Water Amount Protocol)
to among
other things transport nutrients into and flush waste products out of your
cells.
Home Water Sources
1) Tap Water
2) Filtered Water
3) Distilled Water
4) Bottled water
Tap
Water
“Use non-chlorinated water:
adding chlorine to your starter will almost certainly destroy the very organisms
you are hoping to nurture. Use distilled or filtered water, or simply leave tap
water open to the air for 24 hours to evaporate the chlorine.”
Sourdough
Starters
"There is no perfect water source but the best solution for
most of us seems to be tap water that has been treated with a filter."
Sally Fallon
Tap water has at least two
problems chlorine and fluoride (See Fluoride Protocol).
If you have solved these two problems you can then filter the tap water and use it
for drinking, cooking and any water that is indirectly ingested or used to wash
your body.
For drinking I use a gravity filter, which
kills all microorganisms, and I then filter the water through a carbon block
filter. This setup allows me to use untreated roughly filtered and settled stream or lake water if
necessary.
Filtered
Water
Reverse osmosis filtered
water will remove the fluoride, chlorine and most other substances from the
water including most of the helpful minerals. Many simple filters will not
fully remove these.
Distilled
Water
Distilled water is very good
for you as a short-term detox protocol. The question is can you rely on it as your
long-term drinking water source. The possible problem is the demineralization
of your bones and teeth. I am unsure about this so I don’t use distilled water
except for short periods to detoxify.
Bottled water
40% of bottled water is tap
water that is then filtered and most probably contains fluoride. Much of the
water bottled by large manufactures contains fluoride. Ask for a
complete list of everything in the water. Ask specifically if it contains
fluoride or a fluoride containing substance such as a fluorosilicate. There are
many substances that can be added to water that contain fluoride.
Any water stored in plastic
(See
Plastic Protocol) will pick up chemicals from the plastic, use glass or
stainless steel
