Apodictic Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Oxygenation is part of the death process and is also part of the life process. But you don't want to overdose on Oxygen, do ya? We take antioxidants for our health which prevent oxidization, the "rusting" of the body. Why do we take them? Is it foolish or does it mean anything? If it means something, then what is the teaching behind it and does it apply to oxygenating water? There is also Ozone, which would kill you if you consumed it directly I believe, many times more powerful as Chlorine as a disinfectant, but they put it in a good deal of water because it dissipates in 20 minutes - - Logic would make you think that it might leave a residue or create a byproduct that isn't healthy as well. But it's in the water and all we can find on Google is fun "I don't know" answers like we're from the 1640's still trying to figure it all out. Ozone in air filters was banned once. How about firing UV light at water? Maybe the end result of all this purification is just that: nothing. But what do we need in water that we're losing through purification? How do we know when we're over purifying our water? Keep in mind, the body is filled and covered with microscopic bacteria. We are symbiotic life forms and what's best for us isn't necessarily some stripped down H2O molecule. I mean, when did we start consuming directly from the Periodic Table of Elements? Maybe we need some of the microorganisms, the bacteria, the electrical charge. Maybe that's all good for us, too? I guess the main question I'm asking is what was really lost in the process of taking water that was originally running down pure glacial streams carrying rich minerals and electrical energy and microbial bacteria that was beneficial to the body... and replacing it with completely nuked water with Ozone and UV sitting in a plastic bottle at 7eleven? What have we lost in that process and what have we added that is not good? There are salesman in our world of profiteers that say that the most beneficial property of water that we lost is electrical and those salesmen push ionizers. There are others that say the most important aspect of water is the purity and the salesman push water filters. Then there are others who say that it's the PH, etc. etc., and each school of "thought" has its own accompanying sales staff. How adorable our world is. If we could just get the answer, how much more adorable it would be. And I guess the REAL, REAL question I'm asking is whether there is any non retail-sales based body of scientific knowledge? Is there any scientific knowledge not linked up to and end consumer product, because that's all I'm finding on Google. Now I'm here. Wow me. And I will love you.

mississippichem Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Water is water. As long as the pH is reasonably close to 7 and there are no toxic contaminants. The oxygen content of water makes no appreciable difference. Be careful, there are a lot of water health scams out there. Almost anyone advertising water that has some special health benefits is lying or just plain wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have we lost in that process and what have we added that is not good? What have we lost from those clear mountain streams? How about beaver fever? A not very pleasant infection among many not to mention the actual various flukes and worms we can get from un-purified water. What do we loose? In some people it would seem that a reasonable parasite load tends to make you less allergic to things. Not sure by what you mean what have we added that's not good, a tiny bit of chlorine is not harmful ( your stomach acids already contain chlorine) and ozone dissipates fairly quickly, especially when exposed to light, I think I'd risk a little ozone to avoid cholera.

insane_alien Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 ...How about beaver fever? A not very pleasant infection among many ... hayfever isn't an infection, it is an allergy. as to the parasite load, i think its any low key infection that works to keep your immune system responses concentrated on something useful rather than causing damage. (based on my observations that when i get ill in the summer my hayfever symptoms disappear or at least reduce until i am better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver fever is a parasitic infection you get from drinking water from those clear mountain streams Edited July 15, 2011 by Moontanman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 sorry, looks like i misread it, ironically because my eyes are watering due to hay fever. sorry for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
