Dr. Norman Walker actually drank mainly distilled water and vegetable juices, to assure that he wasn't drinking inorganic minerals such as are contained in the majority of water sources on the planet. Dr. Norman Walker actually states that distilled water is not only VOID of all inorganic minerals, but it also helps to leach out ONLY the harmful inorganic minerals from the body, which are then eliminated through our urine. Many people think that distilled water is leaching out our good minerals because urine tests show that when you drink distilled water, minerals show up within urine. What is actually showing up in the urine is the ejected inorganic minerals. Dr Norman Walker says that leaching organic bio-available minerals that have already been utilized is impossible and he gives an explanation about this in his book "Water Can Undermine Your Health."
Just like Dr Norman Walker, in my opinion, only harmful inorganic minerals are being leached out of the body when a person drinks distilled water. Additionally, Dr Norman Walker is the only raw food pioneer I know of who made it close to or past the century mark. Norman Walker ate small amounts of food, was careful about what he drank to avoid inorganic minerals, lived in a place and time where air pollution wasn't so intense, and he practiced colon hydrotherapy on a periodic basis. |
