What is Earthing?

Studies now show that just standing on the earth barefoot has amazing health benefits as we drain off free-radicals and the electric charge we carry with us. This phenomena is also known as "earthing".

Think of it this way. The earth is a giant car battery with a liquid metal core. It carries a strongly negative charge. And anything above the ground (such as in the air or insulated from the ground) carries a positive charge. This is why lightning strikes oocur, and why we need to “ground” or protect all of our electrical and electronic equipment, to keep them from sparking or short circuiting.

In essence, to ground something is to plug it back in to the earth, which is actually the third prong on our electrical outlets (called a ground).

Human beings, and all organisms for that matter, are electrical in nature as well. We get ekgs, mri’s, and all sorts of electrical tests to measure our health, hearts, and bodies; our nervous system works on electrical impulses, and even the heart beats with an electrical charge (which is why you may get a pacemaker if it starts getting out of tune).

We are electrical in nature, and like electrical equipment and electronics needs to be properly grounded to function well (if you’ve ever listened to an ungrounded radio you know what I mean, you’ll hear tons of static and background noise until it’s grounded), we need to be grounded for proper health and well-being and for proper functioning of our bodies.

At no point in our history have we been this disconnected or insulated from the earth. We wear insulated rubber-soled shoes rubber does not conduct electricity, but insulates or prevents its conduction or transmission),, drive insulated cars with rubber tires, and live in insulated homes; AND we even practice YOGA on insulated rubber mats.

This insulation allows us to build up a charge throughout the day, particularly as we’re swimming a sea of electrical transmisions and wires (in our phones, our appliances, our walls, beneath our feet (look at the electrical cords down by your computer) and all around us. So we’re insulated from the ground, AND surrounded by electricity.

What does this mean? Well, as you’ve seen in the winter-time (when you may inadvertently, or DELIBERATELY zap the person standing next to you) we carry a HUGE charge on and in our bodies.

And that charge turns out to be quiet harmful to our bodies. It disrupts our nervous system, confuses our minds (like that noise on the ungrounded radio going on through our brains), creates inflammation throughout the body (free radicals are positively charged particles with no way to be drained) and raises our cortisol levels (those pesky fight-or-flight stress hormones that keep us on edge, can put us in a panic, and wreak havoc on entire system, and in particular our blood-pressure, when they’re constantly being produced and have no way to drain).



All of these things occur, or build up, because we’re ungrounded and have no way to drain them. However, once we go barefoot outside, such as when we’re barefoot running or barefoot walking, they instantly begin to drain as we plug back in to the earth. However, most of us can't spend 24/7 in direct contact to the Earth. We're sitting at our computers at work for 9 or more hours per day, then we're commuting in our insulated cars, and next thing you know you're busy at home taking care of the family. Fortunately, there are Earthing products that help ground us even when we're indoors. Direct contact to the Earth is always preferred, but if you can't make it happen all the time, these products are the next best thing.  You can find out more about Earthing products by clicking here. 

We’ve all felt that amazing “ahhhhhhhh” sensation of stress and pressure draining away at the end of the day when we slip off our shoes and go barefoot through the grass or on the beach.

That sensation isn’t just in our heads, it’s real. When we connect with the earth barefoot, we’re LITERALLY draining that tension away, because we’re draining off that positive electrical build-up we’ve generated in our bodies.

Studies show this helps with reducing blood pressure, inflammation, helping regulate our sleep and other body functions, levelize blood-sugar levels, and preliminary studies show even helps with many auto-immune system diseases.

These are HUGE health benefits, and all available to us if we simply slip off our shoes and feel the earth beneath our feet.

THE FIFTH DIMENSION (The Miraculous World)

The Fifth Dimension - Heaven... The Plane of Light
For most religions, the Fifth Dimension is the highest realms a Soul can reach.

Spiritually, starting from the beginning, it is the last stop downward on the dimensional ladder before we enter the realms of limitation. We incarnate here as androgynous stellar beings. Since we live on Stars we have luminous Light Bodies. These eternal forms have no need for pain, the warning signals that physical bodies provide. Therefore there is no physical suffering. Neither do we suffer from any form of separation because we constantly experience the Oneness of Mother/Father Creator.

We base our actions entirely on Love, never fear. This is because fear does not exist at this level. We are unstoppable and living Miraculous lives. Immortality is an experiential given. Many times in a Near Death Experience, a person will travel thru a long tunnel. The tunnel traverses the darkness (the Fourth Dimension) and ends in a bright opening of Golden or White Light (the Fifth Dimension). This is the Birth Canal of the Soul and the doorway to Heaven.

We travel by application of Divine Will. We need not die to have this experience. The shortest distance between two points is not a straight line or curved line. In the Fifth Dimension, one simply duplicates herself to her destination(s). We travel by moving through the doorway at the center of the star. We do not fly as this movement is similar to teleportation. Flying is only a viable means of transportation on the Third and Fourth Dimensions.

In many Ascension stories, the Earth transforms... along with her inhabitants into her fifth-dimensional Light Body. This is when Gaia physically shifts from a dense, material body to one of Light... A Star. The present Earth changes and Ancient prophecies are guides to this probable future. However, the Fifth Dimensional Manifestation of a star is neither hot nor fiery... It is soft.

This is known as THE MIRACULOUS WORLD...

THE MIRACULOUS WORLD
(The Fifth Dimension)

The Miraculous World
Dimensionally... it is the next step up from The Magical World
The Probabilities of this Fifth Plane
Are just now presenting themselves to Humanity

Go outside on some clear Night
Look up in the Sky and catch a glimpse of the Stars
There are more Stars than we can Imagine
With even more Planets racing around Them
And this is only the Third-Dimensional aspect that we are Seeing

Look at your Hand... move your Fingers
To make all of this Exist and Work
Takes Forces and a form of Intelligence
That is not possible to Imagine
And this is only the Third-Dimensional
Aspect of our Existence
Although this may sound Oversimplified
It does seem to point to one Thing
The Universe is a Miraculous Place

If it can Create all of This
It can do just about any thing it Wants
In The Miraculous World
Linear or "horizontal" Logic
Which uses past Experience and one's Beliefs
To determine what is Real
Is NOT what directs one's Actions
Nor is it one's Feelings
Regardless of how Powerful they Are
Instead "Vertical" Logic
Which is information received Directly
From One's Spirit
Provides the data from which to Act

This is spontaneous Revelation
And is the key to consciously Living
In the Eternal Now
You are in Essence... channeling your Spirit

When we find ourselves acting Out
And identifying with the Following
You can Say
"I am living in A Miraculous World"
You experience the awesome reality of living in the faith that you are in the hands of your Spirit
You perceive everything as "okay"... even if it's sometimes unpleasant... because you know that Spirit is directing your Course
You see your identity as a Divine being Unfold
Your reliance on Material and Magical perceptions is superseded by your reliance on Miraculous Perceptions
You perceive other's pictures of reality as just that - their pictures - and do not take their projections Personally
You realize that, in many areas of your life and especially your mission, the walls of time/space are not a Limitation
You live with the understanding that by remaining open and empty... the Universe can manifest miracles through You
You love everyone and know that they are part of the Divine Whole
You are grateful to be Alive
You see your Vision of Heaven on Earth Manifesting
You share your Vision, cosmic identity, and insights freely and Naturally
Miracles are a Given
Here are few Identities
Or ways to Function
Which take a stand for the Validity
Of The Miraculous World
I Am A

Moving from The Magical World
To The Miraculous World
Is similar to moving From
The Material to The Magical

There is a barrier that separates these Worlds
...The Fear of the Unknown...
Inherent in the Human Form
And reinforced by the Dark Forces
Makes Beings hesitate to explore New Worlds
On the other hand, many beings don't explore other worlds because they are just plain ignorant of their existence: Spirit has dictated that the veils in their consciousness remain in place - they can do no more.

It is interesting to note that in The Miraculous World
The Mental, Emotional, and Physical Bodies
Are used by the Universe to achieve its Ends
In The Material World
The Universe is used by these Bodies
To achieve their Ends
The World in which we perceive ourselves, along with our identity, are major components of our picture of reality. And the universe rearranges itself to accommodate our picture of reality.
If we're using Material World criteria for the basis of our discernment, it will look as if everyone is living in The Material World.
If we use The Magical World as our criteria, it will appear as if everyone is living in either The Material World or The Magical World (or probably some combination of the two).
If we use the criteria of The Miraculous World, it will appear as if everyone is living in The Material, Magical, or Miraculous World (or probably some combination of the three).
This is because beings who are intensely exploring the Material World cannot include The Magical World in their picture of reality

Yet, those who are exploring The Magical can include The Material. Similarly, those who are intensely exploring The Magical World cannot include The Miraculous World in their picture of reality

Yet, those who are exploring The Miraculous can include The Magical.

This suggests a Hierarchical Order
Based on our ability to Accept
Ever-expanding Probabilities
And our capacity to Love

There are many versions of the Ascension Scenario. It is our sense that the Planetary Consciousness (and many other Cosmic Forces) is preparing a new, energetic environment for its inhabitants to live in.
The foundations are already being laid. Its frequency will sustain only Miraculous World experiences.

Once fully in place and Operational
The option of exploring The Material and Magical Worlds
Will no longer be Available
At least on this planetary Body
Living in The Miraculous World
Will no longer be debated as to whether it is "Possible" or "Impossible"
It will just be... The way that it Is

...Seek and Ye Shall Find...

In The Material World
One seeks retirement and grows Old
In The Magical World
One seeks Enlightenment and grows Wiser
In The Miraculous World
One seeks nothing and grows Lighter

As we all tread the Homeward Path
We will explore many Realms
And one day... we will all Realize
That all experiences are Simply

Different ways in which The

All-That Is

Perceives Itself

Chapter 11- DYING OF THIRST

Chapter 11- DYING OF THIRST

Clean water for drinking, bathing, and growing food is one of the most precious commodities on the planet. You constantly read in the news about how we're running out of oil and energy—how
these resources can only last another 20-30 years. But the simple fact is, that's 20-30 years longer than we have for water. Already, in many parts of the world, lack of clean water is the biggest problem facing huge numbers of people[1]. Just to hazard a guess, in the next 50 years, more wars will be fought over water than oil.

  Why is water so important? Quite simply, it's essential for life. And the sad fact is...most people just don't get enough. The vast majority of people living in the industrial world (even where
water is abundant) are dehydrated.

      Quantity

   In advanced societies, thinking that tea, coffee, alcohol, soda pop, or other forms of manufactured beverages are desirable substitutes for the purely natural water needs of the daily "stressed" body is a common, but potentially deadly, mistake.[2]

[1 China is currently running a water deficit equivalent to seven times the water usage of the entire state of California.
In the next few years, that deficit will triple. Already, the Yellow River, one of the most important rivers in China, is so low in water that it failed to reach the ocean on 226 days in 1997.]


[2 Batmanghelidj, F., Your Body's Many Cries for Water, Falls Church: Global Health Solutions, Inc., 1995.]

Water is the solvent in our bodies, and as such, it regulates all the functions of our bodies, including the action of all the solids dissolved in the water. In fact, every function of the body is
monitored and pegged to the efficient flow of water. Think for a moment of just a few of the functions that water regulates in our bodies:
>The movement of blood

>The transport of nutrients into our cells

>The movement of waste out of our cells

>The flow of lymph fluid

>The movement of nerve impulses through our nerves

>The movement of hormones throughout our bodies

>The functioning of our brains

   If we were to become dehydrated, all of these functions (and a thousand more) would be impaired. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happens for the vast majority of us. Over time, as we
become increasingly dehydrated, our thirst mechanism gradually fails,[1] which leads to even more dehydration. Symptoms of chronic dehydration include allergies, asthma, chronic pains, constipation, acidosis, dry skin, and the shrinking of internal organs and thinning of skin associated with aging—to name just a few.

   We need to consume between 64 and 96 ounces of pure water a day. Pure, fresh (not bottled or canned) fruit and vegetable juices may be substituted for some of this quantity—as may limited
quantities of non-diuretic herbal teas (without sugar). In general, however, pure water is the key.

     Quality

   When you look at the big picture, state and federal authorities have done a remarkable job in providing "clean" water for the country as a whole. Water-borne epidemics such as cholera are almost unheard of in the United States. On the other hand, acknowledging what has been accomplished does not mean that we should close our eyes to the problems that exist.

  Keep in mind that the MCLs (maximum contamination levels) that water districts so proudly adhere to merely represent a compromise standard designed to be econonomically feasible for water districts to meet. They in no way come close to the safety standards established by the US government's Safe Water Drinking Act.

  On average, drinking water in the United States currently contains over 2,100 toxic chemicals that are known to cause cancer, cell mutation, and nervous disorders. This is not particularly surprising
considering that there are close to 100,000 chemicals now in everyday use—with over 1,000 new ones being added each year. In fact, according to the EPA, US industries generatesome 79 million pounds of toxic waste each year that is not disposed of properly.
What is probably more surprising to most people, though, is the fact that, according to the EPA, 53 million Americans unknowingly drink tap water that is polluted by feces, radiation, or ....

[1 Even when our thirst mechanism is functioning properly, it's not a reliable indicator of dehydration since "thirst" is one of the last symptoms of dehydration to manifest.]

.... other contaminants. Also according to the EPA, some 45 million people drink water contaminated with the parasite cryptosporidium that killed more than 100 people in Milwaukee in 1993. Or that
over half of all Americans drink water that has been used at least once before.[1]

   According to an ABC News Special, US industries generate some 88 million pounds of toxic waste a year, 90% of which the EPA estimates is improperly disposed of, whcih makes its way into our water supplies. With close to 100,000 chemicals now in use and with the introduction of 1,000 new ones each year, it's impossible for treatment plants to keep up. Each year, at least 400,000 cases of illness can be attributed to contaminated water.

   With all due respect for the great job that all of the water departments in all of the states and cities do, you still don't want to be drinking tap water. It may not kill you immediately, but as sure
as the sun rises in the morning, it will compromise your health over time. The bottom line is that you need to drink filtered (or distilled water). Tap water, well water, and bottled water[2] are all suspect.

  Chlorine

  Chlorine is the primary disinfectant used to purify drinking water. Let me make it absolutely clear that I am not advocating eliminating chlorine from the purification process. That would be
stupid. Chlorination controls many water-borne diseases, including typhoid fever, cholera, and dysentery. When chlorination was stopped in Peru, for instance, there was a cholera epidemic of
300,000 cases.

However, it should be understood that:

> Chlorine is one of the most toxic substances known. It does everything from drying your skin and destroying your hair to wiping out the beneficial bacteria in your colon.

> And the byproducts of chlorination (such as chloroform, dichloro acedic acid, and MX), which are found in drinking water, are all proven carcinogens.

> According to the US Council on Environmental Quality, the cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine. There is a higher incidence of cancer of the esophagus, rectum,breast, and larynx and a higher incidence of Hodgkin’s disease among those drinking chlorinated water.

> Chlorine has been strongly implicated as a major factor in the onset of atherosclerosis and its resulting heart attacks and strokes.

> By the same mechanisms that chlorine narrows blood vessels that feed the heart, it also narrows the blood vessels that feed the brain. Consequently, chlorine has been implicated as a major factor in the onset of senility.

[1 You probably shouldn't think about this particular statistic too long if you have any tendency toward a weak stomach.]

[2 Yes, if you're on the road and you're thirsty, picking up some bottled water at a 7-11 is a better alternative than drinking from the water fountain or buying some coffee or soda.]

There's no question but that the use of chlorine in drinking water has helped stopped the spread of many virulent water-borne diseases. On the other hand, there's also no question but that
chlorine in our drinking water presents us with serious long-term health implications. The bottom line on chlorine is that it pretty much needs to remain part of the city water purification  process. That means that you need to remove it from your water at your house.

      Fluoride

  At the risk of being accused of being a Luddite, let's take a look at the use of fluoride in our drinking water.

  Exactly what is water fluoridation? In fact, all water contains some fluoride. Fluoridation is
the process of adjusting the level of fluoride in the water supply to theoretically protect against
tooth decay. This concentration varies from 0.7 to 1.2 parts per million (ppm). While it is true that
"organic" fluoride itself is present naturally in soil, water, plants and many foods,[1] the "industrial"fluoride used in water fluoridation is a toxic waste product.[2]

  Does it work? Now that's a question of more than some debate. There's no question that since fluoridation began, the incidence of dental caries has gone down significantly in the United States.
Score one for water fluoridation! But hold on a second. It's gone down throughout the country—even in states that don't fluoridate their water! In fact, there is no good statistical evidence that fluoride (either in your water or your toothpaste) makes one iota of difference in terms of dental health.[3]  All of the improvement in dental health that we have seen in the United States can easily be attributed to better dental hygiene (brushing and flossing), not fluoridation.

  Which brings us to the key question: Is it safe?

  Well, to be fair, community water fluoridation is supported by the U.S. Public Health Service,[4]the American Dental Association,[5]
 the American Medical Association,[6] the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, and the National Academy of Sciences. On the other hand, the devastating, toxic effects of fluoride are well documented by mainstream organizations such as: 

>Numerous articles have appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association challenging the safety of fluoridation. 

>National Institute of Environmental and Health Sciences has shown that fluoride
causes cancer.

>Scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency have come out against fluoridation because they have confirmed that it does not reduce tooth decay and that there is clear evidence that fluoride causes cancer.

>The Pasteur Institute in France, and the Nobel Institute in Sweden have caused fluoride to be banned in France and Sweden respectively because the health risks from using fluoride far out-way any possible benefit.


>Fluoridation is also banned in Finland, Holland, Chile, and Japan among others.

[1 Tea, for example, is an extremly high source of fluoride (even when made with unfluoridated water).]

[2 American industry loves water fluoridation. Instead of having to pay for the disposal of a toxic waste product, they now get paid by cities by selling them this same toxic waste. It's probably no surprise then that the industries producing fluoride byproducts are some of the biggest proponents (and backers) of water fluoridation.]

[3 In fact, as New Zealand's former chief dental-health officer, Jon Colquhon, a one-time proponent of fluoridation, said, "When any unfluoridated area is compared with a fluoridated area with a similar income level, the percentage of children who are free of dental decay is consistently higher in the unfluoridated area."]

[4 While at the same time, curiously, pushing for a reduction in our daily fluoride intake. Maybe you can explain that to me.]

[5 It's worth noting that the American Dental Association is on the horns of a dilemma. To admit that promoting the use of fluoride was a mistake would open up the floodgates of litigation.]

[6 While at the same time repeatedly publishing articles in their magazine proving the dangers of fluoride. No one ever said this has to make sense.]

Fluoride is a potent toxin[1] that accumulates (about 50% a day for adults and 75% a day for children) in the body. Each exposure stays in your body and adds to the accumulated levels. And that's the key. We are constantly being exposed to high levels of fluoride other than in our water. It is in our toothpaste.[2] It is sprayed on our food.[3] It is present in pharmaceutical drugs ranging from birth control pills to antibiotics. It is in soda pop, which is manufactured from fluoridated water. Once you look at the scope of the problem, you realize that there is no way in the world to determine what your flouride intake is, but it's far higher than is healthy.

  Health problems associated with fluoride include:

>Destruction of the immune system

>Up to a 39% increase in various cancers—with an astounding 80% increase in rectal cancer

>Genetic changes both in sperm and other cells

>Dramatic increase in heart-related deaths

>Brittle bones[4]

>Chronic fatigue

>Gastrointestinal disturbances

[1 Fluoride is used as a pesticide particularly for roaches, ants, and rats.]

[2 Note: fluoride toothpaste can double the level of fluoride in the blood within five minutes of being used—just from the amount absorbed through the cheeks and gums.]

[3 Apples and grapes are particularly high in fluoride for this reason.]

[4 One of the claims for fluoride is that it helps builds bones. That claim is so deliberately misrepresentative of the truth that it borders on the criminal. Yes, while it is true that there are studies that confirm that fluoride builds thicker bones, it is gross misrepresentation to cite those studies without also mentioning that fluoride makes bones more brittle. And, in fact, there are numerous studies that have appeared in the Journal of the American Medical
Association that show a significant increase in hip fractures in areas with fluoridated water. In addition, The New England Journal of Medicine reported that fluoride treatment of osteoporosis patients resulted in higher hip fracture rates.]

>Increase in Infant Mortality

>Skin rashes after bathing

>Miscarriages

>Dizziness

>Vision problems—including blindness

>Not to mention mottled teeth

   Also, it is well established that fluoride is an extremely potent enzyme inhibitor.

  The bottom line is what freakin right does anyone have to force such a potentially toxic substance into your drinking water[1] for no proven benefit.[2]

  Oh yes, I almost forgot, the aluminum/fluoride connection. New research has revealed that fluoride in drinking water makes the aluminum that we ingest more bioavailable. In the presence of fluoride, more aluminum crosses the blood-brain barrier and is deposited in the brain. As was reported in Brain Research, Vol.7 84:98, the combination of aluminum and fluoride causes the
same pathological changes in brain tissue that are found in Alzheimer's patients. Now don't misunderstand, I'm not saying that aluminum/fluoride is the cause of Alzheimer's. That would be premature. All I'm saying is that it might be prudent to limit your exposure until we know more one way or the other. Remember, even O.J. was found innocent in the end.

    Bathing

  As it turns out, it's not enough just to worry about the water you drink. The water you bathe and shower with is equally, if not more, important.

  You absorb more chlorine through your skin in a 15 minute hot shower[3] than you do by drinking 8 glasses of that same water throughout the day. (So much for that nice safe feeling you had drinking only bottled water.)

    Just for fun, stop by your local swimming pool supply store and pick up a chlorine test kit. Fill a glass with some of your local tap water and test it with your kit. The water will change color according to how much chlorine there is in the water. Now fill up another glass with water from the tap. This time, soak your hand in the water for 60 seconds before testing. Notice how the water shows no chlorine. In just 60 seconds you absorbed all of the chlorine in the water into your body through your hand. The absorption factor is that dramatic. (Note: the younger you are, the more absorbent your skin tends to be. And women should take special note; breast tissue is the most absorbent tissue in the body. Soak your breast in the same water, and it will clean out all of the chlorine in just 20 seconds.)

[1 At least with toothpaste, you have a choice to buy a non-fluoride brand]

[2 There are now at least 10 studies that prove as fluoride intake goes up, so does tooth decay!]

[3 Actually, when you shower, you absorb more chlorine through your lungs in the form of vapor (produced by the small droplets of hot water) than you do even through your skin.]

The trick is, if you want to protect your skin (and your body as well), you've got to mount a defense at the surface of the epidermis. Once a substance gets past this tough outer layer of dead skin cells, it generally has a much easier time passing through the living area of the epidermis and then into the body.

     Bioavailability

  Although all water consists of the same basic H20 molecules, water nevertheless varies according to how these molecules bond together to form "water molecule groups." To put it simply,
it is in the size of these groupings that water differs. The smaller the groupings, the more bioavailable the water is—the more easily it is able to pass through cell walls, to circulate through your body as a whole.

   What holds water molecules together in clusters is surface tension. This is what you see when you wash your car and the water beads up in droplets on the hood. When washing your car, you use detergent to break that surface tension—which makes the water wetter and better able to clean. Obviously, you can't use detergent to "improve" the bioavailability of your drinking water.

  But you can use magnetics. Magnetizing your drinking water breaks its surface tension, making it wetter and more useable by your body. In addition, there's a strong secondary benefit. Applying
a magnetic field to water raises its pH. This is of vital importance as we will see in the next chapter.

      General Recommendations

> You need to treat the water that comes into your house to remove the chlorine, fluoride, chemical residues, heavy metals, bacteria, parasites, etc. in your water. And you need to remove all of these toxins not only at the tap where you drink, but also where you bathe and shower. So how do you do it? You really only have 4 choices.

  Get a system for the entire house that treats the water where it enters your house.

  This is obviously the most expensive way to answer the problem, but if you actually get a good system that removes all of the toxins, it's the best way to go.

   There's no question that a good water distiller will provide the "cleanest" water you can get, but you need to be sure it incorporates a charcoal filter, since toxins like chlorine vaporize and recondense along with the water you're trying to clean.

- There's one other question to consider. Distilled water, by definition, has no mineral content. For years there has been much debate as to whether that's good or bad. "Distillerites" claim that demineralized water is more natural—like rain water and glacier water—and that minerals in the water end up in your joints. The argument against distillers is that most animals drink water that has had contact with the ground and acquired a high mineral content. Prime examples are the high mineral water of the Hunzas and the coral calcium water of the islands off of Okinawa—two areas renowned for the age and health of their inhabitants. As for me, I don't think it matters, provided that if you drink distilled water, you make sure that your diet and supplements provide an abundant supply of minerals.[1]
   And as for the question of mineral-laden water leading to joint deposits, studies have proven that the calcium which deposits in joints comes from inside the body—leached from your own
bones because of too much acid in your diet.


[1 Understand, because it is devoid of minerals, distilled water is bioelectrically dead.]

   Reverse osmosis units produce a good quality drinking water. The problem I have with them is that they waste a huge amount of water—many gallons of waste for each gallon of usable water. I'm not really sure that's justifiable nowadays with the looming water shortage we face.

   A good water filter is probably your best bet, but keep in mind that it will cost you more than $29.95 or even $100. To find one that will truly remove ALL of the bad stuff, while leaving in the beneficial minerals, you will need to pay $250-$300.

> Drink 8-12 glasses of pure water a day. (To follow the water-cure-protocol formula, see below) 

> When possible, use glass to hold your water, not plastic. Absolutely avoid drinking water that has a strong plastic smell or taste.

> Apply a magnetic field to your water for at least 20 minutes (depending on how large your bottle is).

> If you're not using a central home purification system, remember to get a good shower filter to remove the chlorine from the water you shower in. Understand that the filter is on the shower, not the bath. The bath water (unless you fill the tub from the shower) will still be toxic.

(To follow Water-Cure protocol formula: Drink at least 10% of your own daily water-quota (31.42 ml multiply by your present body weight(kg), every 90 minutes. Use 1/4 teaspoon of sea-salt in your daily diet, for every 1250 ml water drank.)
