Oddbean new post about login | logout Yeah, I drink about a gallon of water daily It's fluoridated where I live (and I am wary of other contaminants, eg plastics / pharma) so I distill it I am hopeful that in the event of total collapse I can either distill via non-electric heating (my equipment allows this) or to get by for a while on boiled/chlorinated/untreated lake-water
Make sure to remineralize your water. Get some high quality salts!
I don't believe that's necessary. Mineral water contains a tiny fraction of daily needs of the relevant minerals. Instead I'll eat 1 extra bite of steak
If you’re distilling your water you are removing all minerals. It will actually suck minerals from your body, and have an overall negative impact. You aren’t supposed to drink distilled water 😰
What can you do to replenish that water with the minerals it needs?
Woof! Bitcoiners veering in direction of yogis I knew 25 years ago who all started drinking their piss. Celtic salt is great! I suck on a few rocks on long motorcycle rides, when it's hot or if I feel sluggish in the afternoon along with some vinegar water. Works great to revitalize.

Yea not gonna drink piss 😅. Rock salts sounds better. Thx!
HOLD to that! Himalayan sea salt was all the rage but traces of arsenic were found. idk. But Celtic is great. It is not for cooking and will destroy a grinder. 4 or 5 lil rocks to suck on will do ya good. Lemme know after you try it what you think.
I use it for cooking!
How? Like on eggs? It seems too hard for table salt regardless but I can see it being okay for soups. How do you crush it?
I just sprinkle it on when it's cooking and if need be after. I've never had an issue or the need to crush it.
I'm going to try it, but if one of my $$$ crowns crack, I will pepper you! 😁
Perhaps he means the Himalayan salt?
Now I'm tracking!!! Thanks.
Negative, Celtic Sea Salt in the blue bag.
Thx for the heads up! I'll let u know how it goes! 🤙🏽💯🍻
Can you point to a case where someone suffered some form of illness after consuming pure water? I see some speculation it may be harmful, and one citation to a 1988 study (not available online). In terms of what is available online, it seems to me the evidence points the other way: "Blood electrolytes balance was not significantly modified even with prolonged treatments with low mineral waters." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10138893/
Natural mineral water =/= distilled water. Distilled water has the minerals removed by the distillation process. It’s not unsafe or unclean to drink, but consistent consumption will remove minerals from your body as the water will reabsorb them as it goes through you. Source: gf is a nurse, & also easily found science information.
The quotation I gave is about "low mineral water", not "natural mineral water" Has your mate ever seen a case of an individual suffering from some illness related to mineral deficiency related to drinking distilled water? I am aware that some sources advise against drinking distilled water, but I am hoping for more solid evidence than mere opinion.
You're looking for an end result that can be complicated, but like Barbara O'Neil says, there's a known scientific way to hydrate yourself. This science is not in question, minerals hell absorption & it's why athletes all have electrolyte drinks.
Here's a goat in it's natural habitat going for hydration 👀 https://image.nostr.build/50de986b8c628568ae6ccc2c7e95d9a12ae5996d2d158d46ac302b7fb9d931ec.jpg
Firstly, for what purpose are you drinking distilled water? Other than kidney failure, I've never known anyone to die from drinking water.
Hydration As to why distilled, I mentioned this earlier in the thread. Water in my area is fluoridated & I am also concerned about other contaminants (eg plastics, pharma)
Oh yes, the female hormones donated from the piss of degenerate women whose wombs werewasted upon them and the psych meds urine from the mind controlled are of grave concern. I have used a Berkey since 2007 but even they are all in on Made in China now. On the other hand, I did get a terrible bout of giardia from drinking river water. Dang it!
