Why Is Water Distillation Best?

Water pollution has become a greater concern to people in the last decade. No longer are people taking their drinking water for granted.There is ever-increasing amount of industrial toxic waste and insufficiently treated sewage being pumped into our lakes and rivers.The tap water that we drink originates from these polluted lakes and rivers. We assume this water has been purified and that all contaminants have been removed at our local water treatment plant. However many harmful pullutants and water borne diseases are still present in our treated tap water.

According to the World Health Organization report, "a substantial portion of disease outbreaks can be attributed to deficiencies in drinking water disinfections".

Municipal water companies use as many as 47 different chemicals to clean wastewater. Chief among these is chlorine,known to create carcinogens by combining with other water borne pollutants and identified as a major cause of many degenerative diseases, especially of the cardiovascular system. Combine these chemicals with the liberal quantities of industrially produced toxic agents (asbestos, pesticides, heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, arsenic, nitrates, sodium, and a variety of other cancer-causing substances) in our water and it becomes no wonder that many cancer scientists point to our drinking water as responsible for the majority of human cancers. It has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals.

On August 25, 2004 a meeting of the American Chemical Society, Joel Pedersen, a Environmental Chemist who co-authored a paper, "Do Treatment Plants Effectively Remove Drugs, Hormones From Wastewater?" "Conventional wastewater treatment processes don't elimate pharmaceuticals and hormones resulting in low levels of these compounds into the environment," says Pedersen. He is also investigating what happens if infectious prion proteins-considered the cause of chronic wasting and mad cow disease-enter wastewater treatment plants from slaughter houses.

While a lot of people have turned to bottle water as a alternative (a lot of it being tap water-go to www.randi.org type in water in search box)as a lot of people are becoming dissatisfied with the quality, expense and inconvenience. Also the plastic toxins can leach into the water.

With POLAR BEAR WATER DISTILLERS the quality and purity of water produced does not deteriorate. It does not rely on physical barriers (filters)which deteriorate over time and can fail, letting contaminants through without the user realizing it. By vaporizing tap water, allowing it to move upward as steam and then condensing it back to water, distillation kills and removes harmful bacteria, viruses and inorganic minerals, and dangerous chemicals that make unhealthy, unsightly and unpleasant water to drink.

Dr. N.W. Walker, in his book, "Water Can Undermine Your Health", stated that he only recommended drinking steam-distilled water. He pointed out that beneficial minerals needed by your body are not "leached" out. Only useless built-up mineral deposits forming kidney stones, arthritic spurring, joint thickening and possibly heart valve deposits and arteriosclerosis are removed.

Dr. James F. Balch M.D. & Phyllis A. Balch, C.N.C. in there book "Prescription for Nutritional Healing", states, "We believe that only steam-distilled water should be consumed."

Dr. Michael Colgan PhD,CNC of Optimum Sports Nutrition says,"Far and away the cleanest water is produced by the new home distillers."

Last but by no means the least Dr. Paul C. Bragg & Dr. Patricia Bragg in their book, Water-The Shocking Truth-states "Distilled water is the world's best and purest water!"
