Benhaimand water wells. Pesticide pollution that is increasing in our 'more,
faster, cheaper' society continually effects our water supply. What
about the waste of our throwaway society? A society that
promotes disposable torches, disposable petro-chemical based
cutlery, disposable, yet non-biodegradable packaging is sure to
effect our supply of this essential ingredient, water. Billions of tons
of toxic detergents, soaps and sewerage get dumped into the
water. The longer this goes on, the higher the percentage of such
toxins in our water supply. These are all issues that are to be
considered by anyone interested in a clean living body, mind and
spirit diet.
The highest good is like that of water. The goodness of
water is that it benefits the ten thousand creatures, yet itself does
not scramble for attention, but is content with places that men
disdain. It is this that makes water so near the Way.
Even 'pure' spring water is not ideal as it contains
inorganic minerals that may accumulate in our bodies. I feel that
spring water is as close to the earth as we can get and that
reasonable consumption (over consumption will lead to heavy
mineral build-up) is ideal. Reasonable consumption being what we
feel like. Ignore the eight glasses per day theory. We are all
different, so how can such a general rule apply? Particularly if we
eat plenty of raw, watery fruits and vegetables or have a diet high
in cooked salty meat and grains. Learn to listen more. Distilled
water is recommended by the long-life experts. However, distilled
water is said to take minerals away from the body, and it does -
those that are not needed. Distilled water is absent of necessary
minerals, which a diet in natural raw, live fruit and vegetables
provides in abundance. Carbon based filters that are well hyped
do not affect most dissolved solids, minerals, nitrates or bacteria.
Unlike carbon based filters, distilled water simulates the natural
hydrologic cycle and kills all bacteria. Distillation is the only sole
permitted method for preparing water to be used for injections. Dr
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, used and
promoted distilled water as a promoter of long life. Remember to
