I've been drinking distilled water by my own distiller since 1985. So many people have said that I will get ill from it because it has no minerals. My skin looks very clear and when I see what I take out of my boiling tank after distilling water, I am shocked that all that sediment would have gone into my joints and arteries. Thank you so much for doing this video.
Since water is so reactive on it's own, it's a great idea to begin drinking distilled water as a sort of cleanse. Some people try 30 days of pure h20 and others go for years. If you're noticing any negative effects after a while like headaches or hair loss, it might mean that you've cleansed all of the bad sediments from your system and you might have started removing important minerals, due to the nature of water leaching minerals. At that point you can start adding trace minerals such as ionized magnesium.
WHO told everyone to take vaccine...now what, all the people who took vaccine are suffering from blood clot, heart issues ,liver issues and so many problems....are you still believing that propaganda organisation WHO
Distilled water is fully clear from all bacteria and minerals...it's fully perfect for a human body. You will never get mineral deficit because, somehow you may drink so many other drinks and eat food...from that you will get enough minerals.......But pharma companies don't want people to become healthy. If everyone becomes healthy who is gonna buy medicine 💊? . WHO is a pimp organisation of global pharma mafia
Yes, your nails are growing thicker, faster. Your hair is growing thicker, and you'll look a lot nicer. Plus, I think it slows down their aging process. I've been drinking the distill water for about five years. I enjoy mixing lemon or limes with my distilled water, because then it mixes with metals in your body and creates an electric current of healing and intelligent. That's how a battery is made, distilled water, because it's a conductor of electricity. Then you need citric acid and take some magnesium or zinc. You have a battery. Plus I am more spiritual.
have you read anything about fertility being effected by distilled water? might be a stupid question but we will be trying to have a baby within the year.
I've been drinking my own home made distilled water for over 6 years. After you boil your fist batch of water and you open the chamber to clean and refill it, what you will see and smell will make you a lifetime "water maker". Thanks for the outstanding videos, Dr. Berg!
I have been drinking distilled water for 47 years. I am a picture of perfect health. At 74, not a trace of arthritis. Many people who have followed my advice also have great results.
@@missb6371 no minerals added. I take vitamins that are essential like Magnesium, Calcium, Zinc , Vit D 3 5000IU and Vit K 100 McG. It should only take about a week or so to notice changes. Also Tinnitus comes and goes still for me. I find that if I take Grape seed extract capsules as well they help with it. Usually the most relief I see from tinnitus is fasting!!!!! Intermittent fasting of 16 hours is a godsend
Thanks for the video. Literally everything you said is so true. I got a reverse osmosis mini system in my truck. As a trucker I'm only limited drinking bottled water. And doing it for 3-4 years continuesly made me sick like a zombie, vision got worst, than everytime started sweating I got rashes on my hand, muscles started to hurt, bones, always sleepy, depressed, overweight, signs of cancer. Changed my diet, added some vitamins, but still never felt like I used to be. Than I remembered how terrible was the water when I first started truck driving (because I got so used to terrible water, I didn't notice it anymore). So I decided to to reverse osmosis my drinking water regardless it's a 1 gallon water, or a bottle water or any water I passed it through reverse osmosis. Had to reprocess the rejected water twice,because reverse osmosis only cleans 40% of water and rejects the rest. After using it the first day the next day I woke up and felt my mind was so clear. Than after 3 days use my eyes started seeing better, more focused. Than my skin rashes began to disappear. After 10 days my ballocks got bigger. The food I'm eating is well processed. Looks like my body is detoxifying from heavy metals and other chemicals that is causing my mind to become cloudy. Dirty wayer effects my hormones, eyes, skin, my voice, causes weight gain. I think drinking distilled or reverse osmosis water it's like adding a distilled cup of water in a bucket of dirty water, and than after mixing the clean water with a dirty bucket water and removing a cup of water from the bucket you end up with much cleaner water in the bucket than it was before. So kidneys don't have to overwork removing toxins from the drinking water, instead it focuses removing the rest of the toxins inside the body.
I've drank distilled water for almost 8 years now. I was diagnosed with 4th stage kidney failure. The Dr said Within a year I would be on dialysis. Went vegan and started drinking distilled water. Still not on dialysis and have upgraded to stage 3. My numbers are normal. A1C is 5.6. Sometimes it gets hard finding distilled now..with all the shortages. But I've been lucky. I watch your videos and apply procedures and wellness advice where I think appropriate. And I've recommended your channel to many of my friends and family.
For what its worth, I've been on medications for years which didn't help my liver or kidneys & have ben drinking distilled water for ~ 20 years. After recent blood work, as kidneys were a concern, my dr commented that the state of my kidneys were comparable to someone decades younger.😊😊
at 06:25 you will see the water distiller i use at home, costs about $100 to buy but pays for itself in no time as it produces a gallon of distilled water water for just a few cents two important 'tricks' when using that device! firstly let the water come to full boil before you put the condenser on (black part at the top) as this allows the VOCs to boil off and also put a timer on your device so it never boils dry as boiling dry burns the calcium build up and makes your water taste foul - for this i used a wall socket timer set to 3 hours which leaves about 1 inch of water in the vessel
One proponent for distilled water said don't worry about drinking distilled water from plastic jugs when that's all you can get because the distilled water will pick up the plastic but it holds onto it and won't release it in the body. It's such a powerful sponge it will still pull out body wastes.
I started drinking distilled 20 years ago. I just preferred it over bottled water. This is a nice confirmation 👍 Stay well and be safe 🙏 ❤️ Texas Nana 🤠 Psalm 91
I just came to say, Thank You Dr Berg. I'm 51, Asian and was dealing with high blood pressure. All my Dr said was, "Asians have a problem with high blood pressure..it's genetic," since I wasn't overly obese. I'm 170lbs and 5'8". She had me on Losartan. Found Dr Bergs videos on intermittent fasting, diet and sleep. (I eat 4 eggs a day :) My blood pressure is now normal 120/80 probably for the first time since I hit 35. And I'm happy to say I'm off that gawd awwful medication which was effecting my sleep. Thank you Thank you THANK YOU.
genetics seems like its the cheap way out of an explanation when the answer to achieving good health is diet and lifestyle (your environment) which is what bigpharma doesn't want you to know.
My wife was just like you a few weeks ago. She stopped eating rice and went on a non strict Keto diet. This almost immediately lowered her blood pressure and leveled her sugar. Quitting eating rice was the hardest part for her, but almost immediate results.
Your BMI is 26, not alarmingly high but still a problem. Cut out all the whites: rice and flour. No candy. No sugar. These are all simple carbs, to be avoided. Drink more water, less alcohol. Don't smoke. And get some vigorous exercise!
Dr. Berg, could you please do a video showing us how we can make distilled water the easiest and cheapest ways? I can never thank you enough for all the videos you make! You are a blessing to us all! Blessings and love to you and your family.
I use a Water Wise water distiller. Yeah it's like $300 dollars, but if you're REALLY serious about wanting to start drinking distilled water then you'll pay it.
Yeah of course you can get a cheapo distiller, but you get what you pay for and if you want to drink distilled water for life, you're gonna want a good high quality one that'll last.
@@luminous6969 yes sir... the berkley water system is very popular lately.. zerowater is cheap and makes water most pure, way better than brita filter system. The cheapest is making your own ro filters with sand and pure charcoal.. carbon and charcoal is best
@@deliriousnomad Some companies on Amazon are not to be trusted. They have like 200 5 star reviews and you can tell by reading them they came from the company itself. If you're not able to pick out the fake reviews from the genuine reviews, you'r going to get scammed by a fake company in Nigeria that sells you a potato instead of a high quality machine or something from China where they don't practice safety regulations. Amazon can be really sketchy.
You are so right Dr. Berg. My cat was not looking good. Her hair started to look matted. I changed her water from tap (her water bowl would have a blue ring) to distilled water. After drinking distilled, she looks about 8 years younger. I feel good when I drink distilled water.
Clearly in your case it's not about the water being distilled, but about it being really polluted. I bet you'd have the same or better results with some of the best certified spring water.
My cat has kidney disease to and has greatly improved with distilled water but iam on my own not knowing what also to do like do I need to add a supplement like trace intervals and if so do u have any recommendations please n thank u❤
@@Bella_forever_ you don't need to add trace minerals. Distilled water shouldn't be drunk too often on it's own. It's better to make a drink with it like coffee, tea, apple cider vinegar and honey, lemon, etc.
I've had a home distiller for the last 12 years and it has been one of the best investments I've ever purchased. I've been drinking distilled water since 1991 and I also give it to my pets.
@@needsmorecowbell1758 I've only bought my units on ebay. I've always paid under $100 for the unit alone (it comes with a plastic collector which I give away), under $150 for the unit + glass 4 liter/1 gallon collection jug. Brands don't matter as they all look the same and are probably made in the same factories.
I drive an hour to a natural spring at Mount Rainier every three weeks to get clean fresh drinking water.... It's amazing and I am lucky to have such a good source!
It's by Franklin Ghost town by the green river.... There is a gravel lot with huge trees across the street from the parking area for the hiking trails and there are spigots ..... People come weekly, monthly to get water it's always busy... Best water ever!
@@samanthaporter6662 i meant like the general area (state) But it’s ok. I just put it on my GPS. I guess it’s worth the 18hrs and 50min drive to get natural spring water everyday 😃
I've been distilling my water for 5 years and have had amazing results. I'll never go back to tap or bottled. Distilled water is great for coffee, cooking, and I also add acv, hss, and lemon juice to my regular daily drinking water. Thanks Eric. You've been a great help to me.

I wouldn't drink tap water unless it was being filtered by at least three different filtering methods... because no single method covers all categories. The day I knew not to drink tap water happened while watching the local news where the reporter asked the engineer from the city water facility, "Would you have your family drink this water?" And then the engineer responded, "It's technically safe for drinking."
@@NTJedi yah it's safe in a survival type urgent situation, not long term. But what do you think about steam distilled water? It usually comes with a carbon filter to remove VOCS but I'm not sure if pharma drugs are being absorbed by that.
@@sweetbeep There's a variety of different water test kits which can examine samples of water to let you know which ones have problems. If you can't afford a water test kit then the tests you can perform at home: #1 Assess Color, Taste, and Odor Test. #2 Use a Water Hardness Test. #3 Use a Magnifying Glass or microscope to search for clouds, foam or floating particles. #4 Boil Your Water for a Dissolved Solids Test If your steam distilled water passes your personal water tests or passes a laboratory inspection by using their water test kit showing positive results then you're probably safe drinking the water.

In order to put minerals back in distilled water add one pinch of celtic sea salt in every glass of water. Have been doing for the last 12yrs. Learnt from Korean naturopath.
Are you not worried about getting heavy metals from the Celtic sea salt? I’ve heard it’s great for you from some but also seen concerns about heavy metals in it.. Also heard concerns about metals in fake pink Himalayan salt from China, (the real pink stuff is good bc it’s ancient & I think from Pakistan in the Himalayas/mountains)
I've been drinking distilled water for about a year now. Now, I've never felt better in my life. I feel better now than when I was a little kid and I'm 60 years old. I have a Seeutek. 3 gallon. Stove top. Distillery. I use it for my coffee, tea and cooking. The only thing I used. Municipal water for is to flush my toilet, take a shower, wash my laundry.
I was taught in college that distilled water can pull minerals out of the body, and therefore could be toxic. It's interesting to know now that it can pull excess/bad minerals out and actually help out.
It's all osmotic balance so there's a grain of truth to what they said but it's so easy to make up bulk electrolyte powder or eat extremely healthy food. Personally I can't get enough potassium from the foods I have access to in the North so supplemental electrolytes are the move for me. And I love mineral water anyway so it's no chore!
@@marijasugarart6094 I am really glad he is not a 'real Doctor' because they do not work for us - they work for the Government, Academia and Big Pharma.
I've been drinking distilled water for two weeks now! I feel great! The incomprehensible crunch in the cervical vertebrae has disappeared; rather, the excess distilled water actually cleanses the joints of excess inorganic minerals!
I've been drinking distilled water for about 8 years now, and I've noticed that my hair hasn't turned gray I'm 64 years old. Everybody in my family has gray hair by the time they get to 60. I'm just wondering if distilled water has something to do with your hair not turning gray.
@@sweetbeep hi. Dr Berg put out a video a while ago about reducing the amount of gray hair you have by eating mushrooms. I didn't know that but I've been putting mushrooms in my salad for years. So that might be part of it.
I can relate, I have drank it since I was a little girl bc my mom swore by it. I’m in my 40’s hardly any gray hairs my skin is soft and smooth and ppl tell me I look 23. It works
been distilling water at home for nearly a decade with this device 06:25 (make sure you get the one with the glass jug) - two important 'tricks' when using that device! firstly let the water come to full boil before you put the condenser on (black part at the top) as this allows the VOCs to boil off and also put a timer on your device so it never boils dry as boiling dry burns the calcium build up and makes your water taste foul - for this i used a wall socket timer set to 3 hours which leaves about 1 inch of water in the vessel FYI the minerals in tap or bottled water are *not* bioavailable! so you can ignore all the negative rubbish you hear about drinking distilled water - just add a touch of salt (i use a 50/50 mix of himalayan & celtic sea salt) to keep your electrolytes up
this is all very good advice. been drinking distilled water myself for over a decade. RO filtered prior to that. i've fasted multiple times with nothing but distilled water and the only issue you may notice is muscle cramping after a while due to electrolyte depletion. a small sprinkle of calcium, potassium, magnesium, and sodium in the water takes care of that.
I've been consuming distilled water for more than a year. Ever since switching, i dont get thirsty easily. It has a cooling effect, first time distilled water drinkers tell me they feel cool drinking it. I've not had a single bad reaction drinking it.
I have been drinking distilled water for 14 months now and when I first started I literally went through a detox/ withdrawal from god knows what!! Crazy dreams sleep was weird and sweating after 3 weeks felt wow then went through a stage where i felt so thirsty but now I feel top of the shop !!!!!
It’s crazy that you would post this video right now 😌 I live in Jackson Mississippi and we are currently having water problems so this will definitely help out with choosing what water to buy .
I was a US Navy submariner for 20 years. Submarines only make distilled water from seawater nothing added. Distilled water is all we drank for months ar a time.
@@winxclubstellamusa Distilled water onboard a submarine never made a difference in health as compared to regular shore water. Btw, most US Navy deep water ships make their own water from units called evaporators and stills and more recently RO units. This has been going on since at least WWII.
It just dawned on me last night that some of my digestive problems that have become critical now started when we switched to distilled water. I was trying to do the right thing and did not realize this whole time that I may be deficient, among other things.
Hi Eric, I'm from Pakistan and I'm one of your regular listeners. In my country the of bottled water increasing day by day. Multinational companys like Nestle, Pepsi and Coke are producing drinking water in bottles as well as in 5 gallons bottles and we have been now used to them. I was TM in Nestle Waters in Pakistan. The process was removal of all minerals and then add back electrolytes which are required only. I believe there is no harm using that water. Distilled water facility hardly available. I hope there isn't any problem. Regards
@@user-bi6tb4ek5r - I believe he said that he worked for Nestle ( maybe a Team Manager?) - he meant it's hard to find distiller machines in Pakistan and it's hard to find places that make distilled water.
the plastic is one HUGE no-no for bottled water. Also, no trust whatsoever unless you are at the plant seeing what they doing and not just bottling tap.
Finally Dr Berg. Thanks for clarifying. All I drink is distilled water. I am now 38 can run 10 to 13 miles every morning. Blood pressure went from 154/87 to 107/73 and lost about 60lbs. My eating habits have drastically changed and am doing physically well. The oxygen I get from the water makes me fight Illnesses much quicker unlike before.
I m every day trying all combinations, like distilled from a spring taste is tolerable. Distilled from tap has terrible metalic taste that I do not like. I use a vevor Distiller around 200euros maybe is not good quality. But change my mind on distilled, I see much better digestion, feeling better even if it tastes strange. DIY sun distillation, has the best taste above all. Dont you find the taste very metalic?
You're amazing. I live in Japan and there are a lot of skin problems here. Lots! Eczemas and the like. I tell everyone I meet to drink distilled water since the skin is roughly 70 water.
I have reverse osmosis in my house. I found if I drink too much without adding electrolytes once or twice a day, I get light headed. I think you have to be careful to addd in your minerals to balance things out.
100%! I’ve been down that road. Distilled water MUST be used for specific purposes for short periods of time or it needs to be restructured because it can not hydrate you as it is negatively charged and doesn’t do well at penetrating your cells but goes around them.
As a plumber, the biggest issue I have found with using filters is people DO NOT replace them, nearly early enough, given the cost-in my country, at least-or just plain laziness?? Once I explain that once a filter has reached saturation point, of it's ability to filter out the nasties, then those impurities are leached back into the water stream, at a far higher rate {exponentially so}. So, you would be better off, drinking tap water. That's why I buy it. Maybe not ideal (the product I use states it has no BPAs, etc. in their container; but still??), but better than the alternative. I have made it myself, in the distant past, but it is a real hassle, & given energy costs (amongst other things), not viable. Glad you made this, to inform people of other options.
back in the day when i was a competitive bodybuilder, about eight weeks out from a contest i would only drink distilled water. i was so in tune with my body i could absolutely tell my body preferred distilled water over any other kind of water. there seems to be some sort of distilled water shortage in my area these days, so i have been making my own at home. i pop the vent cap off of an instant pot, then run a copper tube (flexible copper pipe) from the vent into a 5 gallon bucket of water (does not need to be cold water). the other end of the copper tube comes out of the bucket of water and hangs over a glass receptacle like a mason's jar or glass mug (don't use plastic because the water can be hot sometimes). i put tap water in the instant pot and pressure cook it. the tap water turns to steam, which runs though the copper pipe, is cooled in the bucket of water and converted from steam into pure distilled water that drips out the end of the copper tube into the glass receptacle. it's a slow process. makes about 2 cups in 40 minutes, but last week in my spare time i made 4 gallons of distilled water just using a small instant pot. i no longer use that instant pot for cooking food, because i could taste the food in my distilled water. but after several cycles of just making distilled water the food taste is gone.
You might get some copper leaching into your distilled water, especially since it’s hot water. Just a thought in case you’re worried about copper toxicity
Get a water distiller from Megahome and a timer to stop it from running dry. Use 2 packets of activated charcoal to filter out the VOC's aka the glasses that evaporate before the water. If you don't use the activated charcoal/carbon packets/sachets you can still end up with pesticides or whatever turns to gas before water jsyk
@@Sasha8pancakes I could never get top notch distilled water out of those countertop machines. Better than tap of course but always a weird taste or VOCs even with the carbon packets. I'd like to get an autofill unit at this point. Been buying jugs for years no issues, but there seem to be shortages lately.
@@4DTravelr Ive only tried the charcoal packets that came with the distiller and those work fantastic but I'm not as confident in the ones available for purchase separately. I would only recommend the Megahome water distiller as I've done lots of research and it's the best I found, that's the only machine I'd recommend and of course I would use the charcoal packets, I actually use 2 at once and I don't switch them out as often as it says to and it's still great.
Excellent video! We've been drinking and cooking with distilled water for about 15 yrs now. We have a distillation system in our home providing water through an additional tap and is connected to the refrigerator to make ice from the distilled water. It is so pure and leaves no aftertaste.
Springs do not produce distilled water . If it comes up from the ground in a spring it will have trace minerals . The only way you can get distilled water is to boil and separate the water from the minerals through steam .
If you start drinking distilled water regularly, the first days your urine will smell like a chemical factory which is a sign that your body is detoxing. Medication residues and other stuff which have been stored in the body over the years can be excreted that way.
I use distilled water and do my own. Just a few tips... 1. Don't let the distiller shut off by itself, I had two that the bottom of the distillers cracked, use a timer and shut it off when there is about 1/8-1/4" water in the distiller. When your gallon jug is about full shut it off. 2. Put a tablespoon of Citric Acid in the distiller with the water you are distilling, it will keep the gunk in the distiller from sticking to the pot and keep it clean. The Citric Acid will not hurt you, it is used in cooking and in candies. I use it to clean my coffee pot too. 3. I replace just the charcoal in the filter, I don't replace the filter itself, a box of charcoal is cheaper.
When I moved into my new house 6 years ago I had the tap water tested, and based on the results decided to get a bottled water service. I've been drinking purified water ever since.
I’ve been drinking distilled water for about two years now and I couldn’t feel healthier. I don’t put any minerals in my water. I get that from all the healthy food I eat and I feel fantastic every day
Hi I never experience backache as long as your getting electrolytes in your diet such as potassium, sodium and magnesium, you’ll be fine, you will get all of theses from foods like all vegetables ,fish potato ,mushrooms, beans and so much more. I hope your back pain get better I wish you good health
Before the pandemic, I drank distilled water for years. To avoid "unnecessarily" going to buy distilled water, I bought a filtering pitcher. We used it for 3 years, over which time I developed skin problems and generally felt awful. I'm back on distilled water now, and plan to buy a water distiller. Turmeric has helped tremendously, so I'm eager to see how things will be 6 months from now.
Many thanks for this video. I make my own distilled water but mix Rosemary and mint or Rosemary and orange or lemon peels, whatever I can find plant wise. I can use my distilled water for anything, as a medicine, a mouthwash, liquid herbs and liquid spice for food or marinades, pending on what is being mixed. It comes out very strong, but I simply love the clean smell of plants mixed with water and anything added to it. Not many people are willing to venture into it. Quite frankly I see know diffence in using dried herbs vs distilled herbs, both gone through the same process of heat. Thank you again.
Thank you Dr. Berg, glad you looked into it. I've been drinking distilled water for years. It doesn't pull out organic (active) minerals, only inorganic (dead) minerals.
@@garyc765 organic minerals are 'attached' and can only be removed by chemical processes in the body - inorganic minerals are not attached and so are easily chelated and removed the minerals in tap/bottled water are not bioavailable, ergo they're dead and the body has to remove them anyway, or store them
You are my go to "Doc".... I have been drinking Distilled water for a few months now and I was very concerned as to why I was going to urinate so much!... I"m so relieved to hear what you had to say... always Impressed THANK YOU!
Been drinking rain water for nearly 20 years, no other choice. Live in (Australia) a coastal, rural area without town water and I'm glad. The water in town is terrible. We have 44,000ltr of tank rain water attached to the house and another 22,000ltrs capacity off the shed for the pool. We use bore water on the garden.
This is timely and appropriate as I’m watching the news about the water situation in JXN, MS. They are having a water crisis due to flooding and have to boil their water right now. Our tap water here smells like bleach. I bought a gallon of water at Fresh Market a couple days ago and it tasted like the plastic gallon jug.
@@RUDYRAYYYMO I imagine so. I just caught a brief snippet of the newscast as I was at work and don’t watch live tv anymore anywhere else. It’s a shame really.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been drinking and cooking with nothing but distilled for a few years now. On top of a plant based diet (no junk food or microwave - vegan) and a two year intermittent fasting kick, and exercise, I don’t think I ever been healthier.
I have been drinking distilled water for 2 years now. My coffee tastes better for sure, but i have not noticed any noticeable benefits. But I can't stand tap water anymore.
your one of the only doctors left that actually know what your talking about gives me hope in the medical industry i research alot and have to say your always dropping knowledge bombs
Since mid 1990’s my tap water flows through three different types of water filters and that filtered output gets distilled. Thus, for nearly 30 years I’ve distilled all of the drinking and cooking water consumed by myself and family. Cleaning and setting up the distiller takes about five minutes, usually twice per day. When we leave the house we carry one or two liters of water in glass water bottles. KEY POINT: After distilling a one gallon batch of the triple-filtered tap water, the residue inside the distiller is ghastly. The residue is a paste, I believe it is dissolved limestone, toxins and fluoride. I never get comfortable seeing it, it’s always shocking. I feel sorry for my neighbors who are naively drinking and cooking with the the tap water. The tap water in my city comes from 17 wells, they rotate drawing from the 17 wells.
I am very grateful for an honest doc who tells it straight without the influence of big pharma, the AMA, or other corrupt organizations. You reap what you sow; Dr. Berg, may you reap many blessings. God bless you! ❤️❤
I drank distilled water for decades in plastic bottles, and I made my own; however,within the last ten years, I have been drinking spring water from glass bottles.
For those interested, RO water is basically the same thing, you can get systems put in your house, or there are companies that bottle it too, depending on where you are
I went to nursing school from '75-'78. We were taught we can't drink distilled water because of the leaching of minerals. I was trying to eliminate fluoride from body. Refrigerator filters and other filters don't do it. Berkey has some but they are not fun to prime. So, I went to distilling my own. Been drinking it for 9 years. I have two kinds of autoimmune conditions and am doing much better than I was.
That's wonderful. Thanks for sharing that. Do you use any natural salts (like Redmond's salt, mined in Utah)? I think some people put a little salt in their water.
These topic is highly interesting… keep going to how to do our own distilled water and how much electrolytes with should add in….:) anyway great topic sir!!!:)🙏🙏🙏
I also have been drinking homemade distilled water for 6 years now. The first few weeks, I have terrible metallic taste in my mouth, coming from heavy metals (I had amalgam removed 15 years ago but they always leave compounds). I think a lot more people are drinking distilled water than we think. Because it has a bad rap, nobody talks about it and does it quietly in their home. Almost all my friends who are health conscious are all drinking distilled water.
I had amalgams removed in 1997. They were placed in two root canals. Thankfully one person removed them. I was so sick. I am healthy but also interested in this water option.
Dr. Berg, Could you please show us how to either build our own distiller or recommend some that we could shop for? Thank you so much for your wonderful research & videos. We are so much healthier as a result.
I just feel like the more we research about nutrition, the more we realise that the way our society functions is actually very bad for us as humans, in the long run, all of this causes a lot of damage to your body both mentally and physically. For example, it is extremely hard to get clean, organic food in today's world, and even if you can, it usually costs a lot. A bar of chocolate full of preservatives and fat trans costs 1 dollar, a pack of broccoli sprouts full of phytonutrients costs 10x that. Not to mention the air we breathe, the water we drink, as we have no control over many aspects, we have no idea what is in there. Life before industrialisation must have been much healthier, especially if you live in the countryside, away from the cities.
come on Doc, we don't need the minerals from water, we get plenty from food. I've been distilling my own water for 6 years, am 87 and still going strong...I don't take any additional minerals.
Fundamentally, I agree, but I have observed that after a week or so of drinking distilled water, my back starts to ache, digestion suffers as well. Have you perhaps noticed it, too?
My biggest problem with drinking distilled or RO water is that we don't really know what the ideal electrolyte composition is to put back into the water. We can make educated guesses, but the science just isn't particularly clear or conclusive on it. There are even certain minerals in very small amounts contained in natural water that we just aren't sure what they're for or whether or not they're necessary for our health and to what degree, such as chromium. That's why I'll always consider clean spring or glacier water to be the best type of water to drink. We (nor any other mammal) evolved drinking primarily distilled water; it's unnatural. It's just not what our bodies are designed for. I can see some logic in doing it for a short while so as to flush some of the bad stuff out of your system, but over the long-term I have my doubts about whether you'd be doing your health any favours.
The majority of all minerals is from food. Distilled seems very beneficial even long term. If you're that worried about not getting minerals from water add some celtic salt and Himalayan salt. Some is better than none and lastly why not mix through out the day distilled water with your spring water? Drink both! Benefits from both every day see what I'm saying and a healthy diet as well
You say distilled water is unnatural? Way back in the day i bet their water was way more pure. Think about all the crap that is in our water nowadays. That is the unnatural water not distilled
Its scary how far I had to scroll down to find someone asking this. Stripping everything out and asking people to make an uneducated guess as to what to replace... Seems dangerous. Common sense says that filtered spring water (which is tested) is the obvious choice for proper hydration. Distilled water is obviously better than most tap water, but why bother comparing that.
I’ve been collecting rainwater for years . Just filter with sand & charcoal. No parasites, no problems and I have adrenal insufficiency… I do add about a edge of the teaspoon of kosher salt to every gallon.
Actually the best type of water to drink is high altitude spring/mineral water which is Low in deuterium and has a well balanced TDS and is almost pollution free.
I work at a very large metro water treatment plant in Northern California. Dr. Berg is correct: there are alot of chemicals in the water to disinfect. However, I"d rather drink disinfected water than live in a place where there is no water treatment available. The population does not get dysentary or giardia where I live. Since my job requires 40 hours a week to provide clean drinkable water to millions of people in northern california, I do not have time to start a distillary. Maybe if I was independebtly wealthy and retired, I could purchase a stainless steel distillary. Since the recommendation is to NOT purchase distilled water in a plastic container, I guess I will not quit my job working at the water treatment plant to provide clean drinking water to millions of people. That way, people are less likely to die of diseases.
You can purchase a water distiller from laboratory supply companies for about 2 thousand dollars. I ordered the ones we used in our biochemistry lab at a major university.
Distilled water is great. Every once in a while I use self-distilled water and put in 99.9 pure silver rods to make colloidal silver. But, it's not often. Cats and dogs seem to prefer colloidal silver water over tap, and purified waters. Keeping in mind that their senses are much more sensitive. Somehow seems to bolster their energy.
Ive been doing distilled now for several months after getting my counter top distiller .. i love it.. thx to my friend whos been drinking it for yrs and started showering n steaming only with distilled water forn 2yrs and his skin is great

I have a 7 stage reverse osmosis plus regular filtration filter system including fluoride filter. It doesn't taste good and lacks minerals (which are essential to health). You can get your minerals from healthy food sources or natural springs or you can add some himalayan salts. It's amazing in this day and age we are so advanced and can't drink our water, I sometimes yearn to go off grid, remote and live off the grid like our ancestors or minority of today's population. I grew up in cities, I now spend the least of my time in them. They denature us. I feel alone in a city full of people and activity, and never feel alone in nature, it's hard to explain.but Wordsworth may have described it best in his poem Tintern Abbey "and I have felt a presence that disturbs me with joy of elevated thoughts, the sense sublime of something far more deeply interfused "
Great stuff Doc, I drink my share of distilled water that we make from camping.. I am also a fan of DMSO. I would like you to go a step further in recommending we use a fluoride filter on our shower heads too if you haven’t already as the skin is our largest organ..(So they say) Thank you for being an amazing human being and a helping hand.
I’ve been drinking distilled water for a year now and my children too.I always get told by friends that I’m missing out on minerals and electrolytes 🤦🏽♀️
I drink reverse osmosis water, don’t know how much different it is from distilled water. I do add in my own electrolytes, been doing it that way for many years and it seems to be doing well for me. Thanks!
If your drinking RO water that’s good and great both. As a 20 year High Purity Water Specialist who has operated every water technology as of current I approve. Both Distilled and RO Water are very low conductivity water stripped of minerals and far more. Distilled water is very very flat in taste. Water has no real taste, but you can taste the flatness in distilled water. It is sterile indeed. You can add some minerals to it if your making it at home up to you. Home RO units are basically miniaturized Industrialized RO Units without a lot of the other components to simplify it for home users and it’s just a single pass, single stage unit. So while the water conductivity is low which mean low mineral content, it’s not zero. It’s somewhere between 5 - 30 us/cm, which is low and determined much by quality design of the unit. By its nature an RO membrane removes both Bacteria and Viruses as the membrane is that tight though it’s permeable to the element of water and some mono charge elements. Where bacteria can come from is improper care, maintenance and cleaning of the unit. Improper frequency change of the membrane and filters as a unit can result in some bacteria, but it’s nothing that will harm you. At best whenever you service clean the RO unit, you can sanitize with hydrogen peroxide or some bleach, but you do that then flushing the unit with the membrane removed. RO Membranes do not like chlorine and has low tolerance for it. But peroxide works well to sanitize. In a typical home RO unit, you remove that membrane to change it about every 2 years at least. Regardless you get pure water with both Distilled and RO. My preferred method is having an RO unit and that’s what I have at home.
Not all RO water is the same: it depends on how fine the filters are. You can still get chemical in it (boron). It's better than nothing, but not perfect.
I have often wondered, and even asked a few doctors (GPs), about whether calcium rich water causes kidney stones. The doctors I spoke with said no. But, it only makes sense that if you intake too much of any mineral, there has to be some buildup of that which isn't expelled by the body.
Dr. Berg, thank you so much for putting out the most helpful and insightful information for health. It's so great to see someone who I sense generally cares about the truth actually stating it and putting it out there. It's so refreshing in a time of misinformation and pharmaceutical corruption.
Excellent info included, however, I would have considered this a 'complete' video if you had included info on how, exactly, to distill our own water. Now I'll go look for directions on how to do that....
This is good news for me. I live in a country over in SE Asia that has 99% distilled drinking water. I found some Perrier in glass bottles at a store today and was in shock. But have to confess that I bought a couple of bottles of Perrier. I was raised on well water in Michigan 1950's-1970's so I miss the mineral taste.
@@fidelcatsro6948 Not a rich country but a country that has multinational & national l food and beverage companies selling it. Drinking water is the governments no. 1 priority along with rice. No one and I mean no one here drinks tap water here. Tap water here is a virology and biology dictionary of bacteria, parasites and viruses.
In Thailand people use the reverse osmosis vending machines everywhere, or buy bottled in the store or have a delivery service (r.o.). Can I ask which country?

Subscribers from India. Thanks dr berg for helping me loose 35pounds in 4 months. I was doing keto with intermittent fasting now I'm 176 pounds and i want to maintain this weight. What diet should i follow to keep building muscle and maintain same bodyweight.
Inorganic minerals are not used by the body, they accumulate in the arteries. So using an electrolyte supplement will only add to the problem. Organic minerals, found in plants fruits etc can be used by the body. So greens spiralina, fruits and vegetables are the best way to replenish lost minerals.
Why does my grass and flowers love rain water if its that bad? I water my grass with tap water and they still struggle! A few minutes of rain and the whole neighborhood is green!

If we are talking about the same type of coffee maker, the one that you use on the stove, with the water chamber at the bottom, the coffee grounds in the middle and the finished beverage on top, that’s not how it really works. It just causes the water to boil and the trapped steam creates high pressure that starts pushing the water upwards. I don’t think it turns completely into steam and back into water.

I've been drinking distilled water by my own distiller since 1985. So many people have said that I will get ill from it because it has no minerals. My skin looks very clear and when I see what I take out of my boiling tank after distilling water, I am shocked that all that sediment would have gone into my joints and arteries. Thank you so much for doing this video.
Do you hv to supplement yourself with other minerals? How do you know you hv sufficient minerals?
I'm curious too do you take electrolytes or minerals?
Since water is so reactive on it's own, it's a great idea to begin drinking distilled water as a sort of cleanse. Some people try 30 days of pure h20 and others go for years. If you're noticing any negative effects after a while like headaches or hair loss, it might mean that you've cleansed all of the bad sediments from your system and you might have started removing important minerals, due to the nature of water leaching minerals. At that point you can start adding trace minerals such as ionized magnesium.
What is distilled water? Please
I got a filter and most of the minerals are removed. A couple times a day I add a pinch or two of sea salt, but it tastes amazing with or without it.
When the WHO and CDC make claims that distilled water is dangerous, I know I’m on the right track of drinking distilled water!
WHO told everyone to take vaccine...now what, all the people who took vaccine are suffering from blood clot, heart issues ,liver issues and so many problems....are you still believing that propaganda organisation WHO
Distilled water is fully clear from all bacteria and minerals...it's fully perfect for a human body. You will never get mineral deficit because, somehow you may drink so many other drinks and eat food...from that you will get enough minerals.......But pharma companies don't want people to become healthy. If everyone becomes healthy who is gonna buy medicine 💊? . WHO is a pimp organisation of global pharma mafia

Facts
I started making distilled water at home using a countertop machine, about a month ago. The change in my skin happened within days. It almost glows.
Yes, your nails are growing thicker, faster. Your hair is growing thicker, and you'll look a lot nicer. Plus, I think it slows down their aging process. I've been drinking the distill water for about five years. I enjoy mixing lemon or limes with my distilled water, because then it mixes with metals in your body and creates an electric current of healing and intelligent. That's how a battery is made, distilled water, because it's a conductor of electricity. Then you need citric acid and take some magnesium or zinc. You have a battery. Plus I am more spiritual.

Thanks for the video. Literally everything you said is so true. I got a reverse osmosis mini system in my truck. As a trucker I'm only limited drinking bottled water. And doing it for 3-4 years continuesly made me sick like a zombie, vision got worst, than everytime started sweating I got rashes on my hand, muscles started to hurt, bones, always sleepy, depressed, overweight, signs of cancer. Changed my diet, added some vitamins, but still never felt like I used to be. Than I remembered how terrible was the water when I first started truck driving (because I got so used to terrible water, I didn't notice it anymore). So I decided to to reverse osmosis my drinking water regardless it's a 1 gallon water, or a bottle water or any water I passed it through reverse osmosis. Had to reprocess the rejected water twice,because reverse osmosis only cleans 40% of water and rejects the rest. After using it the first day the next day I woke up and felt my mind was so clear. Than after 3 days use my eyes started seeing better, more focused. Than my skin rashes began to disappear. After 10 days my ballocks got bigger. The food I'm eating is well processed. Looks like my body is detoxifying from heavy metals and other chemicals that is causing my mind to become cloudy. Dirty wayer effects my hormones, eyes, skin, my voice, causes weight gain. I think drinking distilled or reverse osmosis water it's like adding a distilled cup of water in a bucket of dirty water, and than after mixing the clean water with a dirty bucket water and removing a cup of water from the bucket you end up with much cleaner water in the bucket than it was before. So kidneys don't have to overwork removing toxins from the drinking water, instead it focuses removing the rest of the toxins inside the body.
I've drank distilled water for almost 8 years now. I was diagnosed with 4th stage kidney failure. The Dr said Within a year I would be on dialysis. Went vegan and started drinking distilled water. Still not on dialysis and have upgraded to stage 3. My numbers are normal. A1C is 5.6. Sometimes it gets hard finding distilled now..with all the shortages. But I've been lucky. I watch your videos and apply procedures and wellness advice where I think appropriate. And I've recommended your channel to many of my friends and family.

For what its worth, I've been on medications for years which didn't help my liver or kidneys & have ben drinking distilled water for ~ 20 years. After recent blood work, as kidneys were a concern, my dr commented that the state of my kidneys were comparable to someone decades younger.😊😊

at 06:25 you will see the water distiller i use at home, costs about $100 to buy but pays for itself in no time as it produces a gallon of distilled water water for just a few cents
two important 'tricks' when using that device! firstly let the water come to full boil before you put the condenser on (black part at the top) as this allows the VOCs to boil off and also put a timer on your device so it never boils dry as boiling dry burns the calcium build up and makes your water taste foul - for this i used a wall socket timer set to 3 hours which leaves about 1 inch of water in the vessel
One proponent for distilled water said don't worry about drinking distilled water from plastic jugs when that's all you can get because the distilled water will pick up the plastic but it holds onto it and won't release it in the body. It's such a powerful sponge it will still pull out body wastes.
I started drinking distilled 20 years ago. I just preferred it over bottled water. This is a nice confirmation 👍
Stay well and be safe 🙏 ❤️

I just came to say, Thank You Dr Berg. I'm 51, Asian and was dealing with high blood pressure. All my Dr said was, "Asians have a problem with high blood pressure..it's genetic," since I wasn't overly obese. I'm 170lbs and 5'8". She had me on Losartan.
Found Dr Bergs videos on intermittent fasting, diet and sleep. (I eat 4 eggs a day :) My blood pressure is now normal 120/80 probably for the first time since I hit 35. And I'm happy to say I'm off that gawd awwful medication which was effecting my sleep. Thank you Thank you THANK YOU.
genetics seems like its the cheap way out of an explanation when the answer to achieving good health is diet and lifestyle (your environment) which is what bigpharma doesn't want you to know.
I honestly didn’t know Asians were predisposed to high blood pressure.. I’ve never heard that, I’ve heard that about black people
My wife was just like you a few weeks ago. She stopped eating rice and went on a non strict Keto diet. This almost immediately lowered her blood pressure and leveled her sugar. Quitting eating rice was the hardest part for her, but almost immediate results.
Your BMI is 26, not alarmingly high but still a problem. Cut out all the whites: rice and flour. No candy. No sugar. These are all simple carbs, to be avoided. Drink more water, less alcohol. Don't smoke. And get some vigorous exercise!

@@NTJedi yah it's safe in a survival type urgent situation, not long term. But what do you think about steam distilled water? It usually comes with a carbon filter to remove VOCS but I'm not sure if pharma drugs are being absorbed by that.
@@sweetbeep There's a variety of different water test kits which can examine samples of water to let you know which ones have problems. If you can't afford a water test kit then the tests you can perform at home: #1 Assess Color, Taste, and Odor Test.

#3 Use a Magnifying Glass or microscope to search for clouds, foam or floating particles.
#4 Boil Your Water for a Dissolved Solids Test
If your steam distilled water passes your personal water tests or passes a laboratory inspection by using their water test kit showing positive results then you're probably safe drinking the water.

I've been drinking distilled water for about a year now. Now, I've never felt better in my life. I feel better now than when I was a little kid and I'm 60 years old. I have a Seeutek. 3 gallon. Stove top. Distillery. I use it for my coffee, tea and cooking. The only thing I used. Municipal water for is to flush my toilet, take a shower, wash my laundry.
I was taught in college that distilled water can pull minerals out of the body, and therefore could be toxic. It's interesting to know now that it can pull excess/bad minerals out and actually help out.
It's all osmotic balance so there's a grain of truth to what they said but it's so easy to make up bulk electrolyte powder or eat extremely healthy food.

Once I started using distilled water I started loosing weight after being stalled for over a year. Down 22 lbs in 3 months
losing!!
narcissistic correction is control mechanism. I don't buy it either, and yes, a typo, but you get the context, no? Was that necessary?No.@@soofitnsexy
So if I buy a plastic water distiller, that is dumb cause I am just releasing microplastic pieces into the water when it heats it up?
Hi Eric, I'm from Pakistan and I'm one of your regular listeners. In my country the of bottled water increasing day by day. Multinational companys like Nestle, Pepsi and Coke are producing drinking water in bottles as well as in 5 gallons bottles and we have been now used to them. I was TM in Nestle Waters in Pakistan. The process was removal of all minerals and then add back electrolytes which are required only. I believe there is no harm using that water. Distilled water facility hardly available. I hope there isn't any problem. Regards
@@user-bi6tb4ek5r - I believe he said that he worked for Nestle ( maybe a Team Manager?) - he meant it's hard to find distiller machines in Pakistan and it's hard to find places that make distilled water.
Doesn't nestle add fluoride to their bottled water ?
the plastic is one HUGE no-no for bottled water. Also, no trust whatsoever unless you are at the plant seeing what they doing and not just bottling tap.
Finally Dr Berg. Thanks for clarifying. All I drink is distilled water. I am now 38 can run 10 to 13 miles every morning. Blood pressure went from 154/87 to 107/73 and lost about 60lbs. My eating habits have drastically changed and am doing physically well. The oxygen I get from the water makes me fight Illnesses much quicker unlike before.

Distilled from tap has terrible metalic taste that I do not like.
I use a vevor Distiller around 200euros maybe is not good quality.
But change my mind on distilled, I see much better digestion, feeling better even if it tastes strange.

You're amazing. I live in Japan and there are a lot of skin problems here. Lots! Eczemas and the like. I tell everyone I meet to drink distilled water since the skin is roughly 70 water.

Linked to low vitamin D. Maybe dig more into it?

The Fukushima disaster is still leaking out so that is probably a major factor causing skin problems.
was the injection rate(covaidshot) high there?
I have reverse osmosis in my house. I found if I drink too much without adding electrolytes once or twice a day, I get light headed. I think you have to be careful to addd in your minerals to balance things out.
Buy distiller instead it removes everything and easier to maintain
100%! I’ve been down that road. Distilled water MUST be used for specific purposes for short periods of time or it needs to be restructured because it can not hydrate you as it is negatively charged and doesn’t do well at penetrating your cells but goes around them.
Are you salt deficient?
Same here..Is it better to drink filtered water or distilled water? I can use both.
Does that work for those who have stones
As a plumber, the biggest issue I have found with using filters is people DO NOT replace them, nearly early enough, given the cost-in my country, at least-or just plain laziness?? Once I explain that once a filter has reached saturation point, of it's ability to filter out the nasties, then those impurities are leached back into the water stream, at a far higher rate {exponentially so}. So, you would be better off, drinking tap water. That's why I buy it. Maybe not ideal (the product I use states it has no BPAs, etc. in their container; but still??), but better than the alternative.
I have made it myself, in the distant past, but it is a real hassle, & given energy costs (amongst other things), not viable.
Glad you made this, to inform people of other options.
back in the day when i was a competitive bodybuilder, about eight weeks out from a contest i would only drink distilled water. i was so in tune with my body i could absolutely tell my body preferred distilled water over any other kind of water. there seems to be some sort of distilled water shortage in my area these days, so i have been making my own at home. i pop the vent cap off of an instant pot, then run a copper tube (flexible copper pipe) from the vent into a 5 gallon bucket of water (does not need to be cold water). the other end of the copper tube comes out of the bucket of water and hangs over a glass receptacle like a mason's jar or glass mug (don't use plastic because the water can be hot sometimes). i put tap water in the instant pot and pressure cook it. the tap water turns to steam, which runs though the copper pipe, is cooled in the bucket of water and converted from steam into pure distilled water that drips out the end of the copper tube into the glass receptacle. it's a slow process. makes about 2 cups in 40 minutes, but last week in my spare time i made 4 gallons of distilled water just using a small instant pot. i no longer use that instant pot for cooking food, because i could taste the food in my distilled water. but after several cycles of just making distilled water the food taste is gone.
You might get some copper leaching into your distilled water, especially since it’s hot water. Just a thought in case you’re worried about copper toxicity
Get a water distiller from Megahome and a timer to stop it from running dry. Use 2 packets of activated charcoal to filter out the VOC's aka the glasses that evaporate before the water. If you don't use the activated charcoal/carbon packets/sachets you can still end up with pesticides or whatever turns to gas before water jsyk
@@Sasha8pancakes I could never get top notch distilled water out of those countertop machines. Better than tap of course but always a weird taste or VOCs even with the carbon packets. I'd like to get an autofill unit at this point. Been buying jugs for years no issues, but there seem to be shortages lately.
@@4DTravelr Ive only tried the charcoal packets that came with the distiller and those work fantastic but I'm not as confident in the ones available for purchase separately. I would only recommend the Megahome water distiller as I've done lots of research and it's the best I found, that's the only machine I'd recommend and of course I would use the charcoal packets, I actually use 2 at once and I don't switch them out as often as it says to and it's still great.
@@4DTravelr plastic or glass jugs- where can I find, thanks!
Excellent video! We've been drinking and cooking with distilled water for about 15 yrs now. We have a distillation system in our home providing water through an additional tap and is connected to the refrigerator to make ice from the distilled water. It is so pure and leaves no aftertaste.
Which distiller do you have? Awesome, been drinking DW for 8 years myself. But am tired of buying jugs, especially because the shortages lately.
What distiller system do you use?
I bought one off of Amazon for about $140 countertop

FYI we have the cleanest and best waters in Europe.
Springs do not produce distilled water . If it comes up from the ground in a spring it will have trace minerals . The only way you can get distilled water is to boil and separate the water from the minerals through steam .
If you start drinking distilled water regularly, the first days your urine will smell like a chemical factory which is a sign that your body is detoxing. Medication residues and other stuff which have been stored in the body over the years can be excreted that way.
I use distilled water and do my own. Just a few tips...
1. Don't let the distiller shut off by itself, I had two that the bottom of the distillers cracked, use a timer and shut it off when there is about 1/8-1/4" water in the distiller. When your gallon jug is about full shut it off.
2. Put a tablespoon of Citric Acid in the distiller with the water you are distilling, it will keep the gunk in the distiller from sticking to the pot and keep it clean. The Citric Acid will not hurt you, it is used in cooking and in candies. I use it to clean my coffee pot too.
3. I replace just the charcoal in the filter, I don't replace the filter itself, a box of charcoal is cheaper.
When I moved into my new house 6 years ago I had the tap water tested, and based on the results decided to get a bottled water service. I've been drinking purified water ever since.

Hi I never experience backache as long as your getting electrolytes in your diet such as potassium, sodium and magnesium, you’ll be fine, you will get all of theses from foods like all vegetables ,fish potato ,mushrooms, beans and so much more.

Before the pandemic, I drank distilled water for years. To avoid "unnecessarily" going to buy distilled water, I bought a filtering pitcher. We used it for 3 years, over which time I developed skin problems and generally felt awful. I'm back on distilled water now, and plan to buy a water distiller. Turmeric has helped tremendously, so I'm eager to see how things will be 6 months from now.
buy "Perfect Home Pálinkafőző 17 literes". Uncomparably better and faster than the chinese crap I used.
Many thanks for this video. I make my own distilled water but mix Rosemary and mint or Rosemary and orange or lemon peels, whatever I can find plant wise. I can use my distilled water for anything, as a medicine, a mouthwash, liquid herbs and liquid spice for food or marinades, pending on what is being mixed. It comes out very strong, but I simply love the clean smell of plants mixed with water and anything added to it. Not many people are willing to venture into it. Quite frankly I see know diffence in using dried herbs vs distilled herbs, both gone through the same process of heat. Thank you again.
Thank you Dr. Berg, glad you looked into it. I've been drinking distilled water for years. It doesn't pull out organic (active) minerals, only inorganic (dead) minerals.
Do you have a source for that info. I'm interested.
@@garyc765
organic minerals are 'attached' and can only be removed by chemical processes in the body - inorganic minerals are not attached and so are easily chelated and removed
the minerals in tap/bottled water are not bioavailable, ergo they're dead and the body has to remove them anyway, or store them
You are my go to "Doc".... I have been drinking Distilled water for a few months now and I was very concerned as to why I was going to urinate so much!... I"m so relieved to hear what you had to say... always Impressed THANK YOU!
Been drinking rain water for nearly 20 years, no other choice. Live in (Australia) a coastal, rural area without town water and I'm glad. The water in town is terrible. We have 44,000ltr of tank rain water attached to the house and another 22,000ltrs capacity off the shed for the pool. We use bore water on the garden.
Have you ever had it tested?
This is timely and appropriate as I’m watching the news about the water situation in JXN, MS. They are having a water crisis due to flooding and have to boil their water right now. Our tap water here smells like bleach. I bought a gallon of water at Fresh Market a couple days ago and it tasted like the plastic gallon jug.
@Howie...
I've been in my house since October 1986, have never used "Tap Water" for drinking...
Flooding is not the only reason for the crisis, it's deeper than that
@@RUDYRAYYYMO I imagine so. I just caught a brief snippet of the newscast as I was at work and don’t watch live tv anymore anywhere else. It’s a shame really.

You mean Fresh Thyme? I recently bought a gallon bottle of their distilled water from them and it was so plastic tasting I dumped it out.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been drinking and cooking with nothing but distilled for a few years now. On top of a plant based diet (no junk food or microwave - vegan) and a two year intermittent fasting kick, and exercise, I don’t think I ever been healthier.
I have been drinking distilled water for 2 years now. My coffee tastes better for sure, but i have not noticed any noticeable benefits. But I can't stand tap water anymore.
your one of the only doctors left that actually know what your talking about gives me hope in the medical industry i research alot and have to say your always dropping knowledge bombs
Since mid 1990’s my tap water flows through three different types of water filters and that filtered output gets distilled. Thus, for nearly 30 years I’ve distilled all of the drinking and cooking water consumed by myself and family. Cleaning and setting up the distiller takes about five minutes, usually twice per day. When we leave the house we carry one or two liters of water in glass water bottles. KEY POINT: After distilling a one gallon batch of the triple-filtered tap water, the residue inside the distiller is ghastly. The residue is a paste, I believe it is dissolved limestone, toxins and fluoride. I never get comfortable seeing it, it’s always shocking. I feel sorry for my neighbors who are naively drinking and cooking with the the tap water. The tap water in my city comes from 17 wells, they rotate drawing from the 17 wells.
I kinda want to send the sludge at the bottom out for testing
I am very grateful for an honest doc who tells it straight without the influence of big pharma, the AMA, or other corrupt organizations.
You reap what you sow;
Dr. Berg, may you reap many blessings. God bless you! ❤️❤
I drank distilled water for decades in plastic bottles, and I made my own; however,within the last ten years, I have been drinking spring water from glass bottles.
For those interested, RO water is basically the same thing, you can get systems put in your house, or there are companies that bottle it too, depending on where you are
I went to nursing school from '75-'78. We were taught we can't drink distilled water because of the leaching of minerals. I was trying to eliminate fluoride from body. Refrigerator filters and other filters don't do it. Berkey has some but they are not fun to prime. So, I went to distilling my own. Been drinking it for 9 years. I have two kinds of autoimmune conditions and am doing much better than I was.
That's wonderful. Thanks for sharing that. Do you use any natural salts (like Redmond's salt, mined in Utah)? I think some people put a little salt in their water.
Do you add any minerals to it?
Yep. @@sweetbeep

I also have been drinking homemade distilled water for 6 years now. The first few weeks, I have terrible metallic taste in my mouth, coming from heavy metals (I had amalgam removed 15 years ago but they always leave compounds).
I think a lot more people are drinking distilled water than we think. Because it has a bad rap, nobody talks about it and does it quietly in their home.
Almost all my friends who are health conscious are all drinking distilled water.
I had amalgams removed in 1997. They were placed in two root canals. Thankfully one person removed them. I was so sick. I am healthy but also interested in this water option.

I just feel like the more we research about nutrition, the more we realise that the way our society functions is actually very bad for us as humans, in the long run, all of this causes a lot of damage to your body both mentally and physically.
For example, it is extremely hard to get clean, organic food in today's world, and even if you can, it usually costs a lot. A bar of chocolate full of preservatives and fat trans costs 1 dollar, a pack of broccoli sprouts full of phytonutrients costs 10x that. Not to mention the air we breathe, the water we drink, as we have no control over many aspects, we have no idea what is in there.
Life before industrialisation must have been much healthier, especially if you live in the countryside, away from the cities.
I've been learning about nutrition since 2004 and you're right... it's like a rabbit hole that just keeps going
come on Doc, we don't need the minerals from water, we get plenty from food. I've been distilling my own water for 6 years, am 87 and still going strong...I don't take any additional minerals.
Fundamentally, I agree, but I have observed that after a week or so of drinking distilled water, my back starts to ache, digestion suffers as well. Have you perhaps noticed it, too?
My biggest problem with drinking distilled or RO water is that we don't really know what the ideal electrolyte composition is to put back into the water. We can make educated guesses, but the science just isn't particularly clear or conclusive on it. There are even certain minerals in very small amounts contained in natural water that we just aren't sure what they're for or whether or not they're necessary for our health and to what degree, such as chromium. That's why I'll always consider clean spring or glacier water to be the best type of water to drink. We (nor any other mammal) evolved drinking primarily distilled water; it's unnatural. It's just not what our bodies are designed for. I can see some logic in doing it for a short while so as to flush some of the bad stuff out of your system, but over the long-term I have my doubts about whether you'd be doing your health any favours.
The majority of all minerals is from food. Distilled seems very beneficial even long term. If you're that worried about not getting minerals from water add some celtic salt and Himalayan salt. Some is better than none and lastly why not mix through out the day distilled water with your spring water? Drink both! Benefits from both every day see what I'm saying and a healthy diet as well
You say distilled water is unnatural? Way back in the day i bet their water was way more pure. Think about all the crap that is in our water nowadays. That is the unnatural water not distilled
Its scary how far I had to scroll down to find someone asking this. Stripping everything out and asking people to make an uneducated guess as to what to replace... Seems dangerous. Common sense says that filtered spring water (which is tested) is the obvious choice for proper hydration. Distilled water is obviously better than most tap water, but why bother comparing that.
I’ve been collecting rainwater for years . Just filter with sand & charcoal. No parasites, no problems and I have adrenal insufficiency… I do add about a edge of the teaspoon of kosher salt to every gallon.
I met a guy that claimed he reversed his early stage MS just by switching to distilled water. Seemed like a pretty straight up guy.
Actually the best type of water to drink is high altitude spring/mineral water which is Low in deuterium and has a well balanced TDS and is almost pollution free.
depending on the source, ground water can contain heavy metals and aresenic and other toxins which are naturally occurring
Lol we get sprayed all day on by chem trails...
The water with the most benefits hard not to drink spring water. If you find good spring water it has no chemicals
What brand ?
@@Tragic.Kingdom mountain valley spring water
I work at a very large metro water treatment plant in Northern California. Dr. Berg is correct: there are alot of chemicals in the water to disinfect. However, I"d rather drink disinfected water than live in a place where there is no water treatment available. The population does not get dysentary or giardia where I live. Since my job requires 40 hours a week to provide clean drinkable water to millions of people in northern california, I do not have time to start a distillary. Maybe if I was independebtly wealthy and retired, I could purchase a stainless steel distillary. Since the recommendation is to NOT purchase distilled water in a plastic container, I guess I will not quit my job working at the water treatment plant to provide clean drinking water to millions of people. That way, people are less likely to die of diseases.

You can purchase a water distiller from laboratory supply companies for about 2 thousand dollars. I ordered the ones we used in our biochemistry lab at a major university.
Distilled water is great. Every once in a while I use self-distilled water and put in 99.9 pure silver rods to make colloidal silver. But, it's not often.

Been drinking distilled since 2016, changed my life.
I have a 7 stage reverse osmosis plus regular filtration filter system including fluoride filter. It doesn't taste good and lacks minerals (which are essential to health). You can get your minerals from healthy food sources or natural springs or you can add some himalayan salts. It's amazing in this day and age we are so advanced and can't drink our water, I sometimes yearn to go off grid, remote and live off the grid like our ancestors or minority of today's population. I grew up in cities, I now spend the least of my time in them. They denature us.
I feel alone in a city full of people and activity, and never feel alone in nature, it's hard to explain.but Wordsworth may have described it best in his poem Tintern Abbey "and I have felt a presence that disturbs me with joy of elevated thoughts, the sense sublime of something far more deeply interfused "
I find drinking pure distilled water without added minerals yucky. Most of the drinkers here seem to actually like it.
Great stuff Doc, I drink my share of distilled water that we make from camping.. I am also a fan of DMSO. I would like you to go a step further in recommending we use a fluoride filter on our shower heads too if you haven’t already as the skin is our largest organ..(So they say) Thank you for being an amazing human being and a helping hand.

RO is basically filtered water.. distilled water is steamed tap water condensed into another jug without the minerals and chemicals in tap water
You still get certain pathogens still get through. Distilled is the ultimate . For clean.
If your drinking RO water that’s good and great both. As a 20 year High Purity Water Specialist who has operated every water technology as of current I approve. Both Distilled and RO Water are very low conductivity water stripped of minerals and far more. Distilled water is very very flat in taste. Water has no real taste, but you can taste the flatness in distilled water. It is sterile indeed. You can add some minerals to it if your making it at home up to you. Home RO units are basically miniaturized Industrialized RO Units without a lot of the other components to simplify it for home users and it’s just a single pass, single stage unit. So while the water conductivity is low which mean low mineral content, it’s not zero. It’s somewhere between 5 - 30 us/cm, which is low and determined much by quality design of the unit. By its nature an RO membrane removes both Bacteria and Viruses as the membrane is that tight though it’s permeable to the element of water and some mono charge elements. Where bacteria can come from is improper care, maintenance and cleaning of the unit. Improper frequency change of the membrane and filters as a unit can result in some bacteria, but it’s nothing that will harm you. At best whenever you service clean the RO unit, you can sanitize with hydrogen peroxide or some bleach, but you do that then flushing the unit with the membrane removed. RO Membranes do not like chlorine and has low tolerance for it. But peroxide works well to sanitize. In a typical home RO unit, you remove that membrane to change it about every 2 years at least. Regardless you get pure water with both Distilled and RO. My preferred method is having an RO unit and that’s what I have at home.
Not all RO water is the same: it depends on how fine the filters are.
You can still get chemical in it (boron). It's better than nothing, but not perfect.

I have often wondered, and even asked a few doctors (GPs), about whether calcium rich water causes kidney stones. The doctors I spoke with said no. But, it only makes sense that if you intake too much of any mineral, there has to be some buildup of that which isn't expelled by the body.
that calcium is not bioavailable and the body must get rid of it or store it

Inorganic minerals are not used by the body, they accumulate in the arteries. So using an electrolyte supplement will only add to the problem. Organic minerals, found in plants fruits etc can be used by the body. So greens spiralina, fruits and vegetables are the best way to replenish lost minerals.

If we are talking about the same type of coffee maker, the one that you use on the stove, with the water chamber at the bottom, the coffee grounds in the middle and the finished beverage on top, that’s not how it really works. It just causes the water to boil and the trapped steam creates high pressure that starts pushing the water upwards. I don’t think it turns completely into steam and back into water.
