Water: The Shocking Truth That can Save Your Life

"This is a great classic about the importance of clean water. Good for the average person. Though written well over 30 years ago, Paul Bragg already recognized the importance of clean water for everything from digestion to eyesight. However, the jury is out on his claims about distilled water being more important than water with natural minerals. A good easy read.

"You will never look at water in the same way after reading this book. It has helped change my life, along with all the
Bragg books"

"Received the book in just a couple of days and the book was in excellent condition. The information in this book is an eye opener. I could not put the book down. So much information!"

"The book ought to be called "Flouride, Calcium and Toxic Minerals" or something and not mention water on the front of the book since there are approximately 2-4 pages about water and how it works inside. Water is mentioned repeatedly in conjunction with so-called information about "inorganic minerals" which are blamed, together with but not separately from toxins in our waters, for many health problems; but very little about water on it's own. The Messages in the Water guy, Masaru Emoto, says the most healthy living water has evaporated, precipitated through clean air, filtered through clean earth and percolated back up through mineral rich earth's crust; yet this book claims only distilled water is naturally healthy. My common sense balks at the claim that steam distilled water is 'natural', for a start. This book is more sensational than informative. Not for the serious student of water, IMO. Also reads more like a magazine ad, if that's any consideration."

"This book is full of information that is one of the following: plain wrong, stretching the truth (sometimes severely), highly controversial, implications of falsities, but occasionally you may happen upon a basic fact that scientists generally agree about. Those that actually want to look into the issue should seek out double-blind scientific studies, not books with advertisements for the author's products. It is a bit odd that there isn't a single formal reference to a single study anywhere in the book since there is such scientific gospel between the covers. A quote from the book that is typical of all the information inside - "The only scientific way to free the necessary quantities of fissionable Uranium 235, buried in the inert mass of its parent U-238, is to force uranium hexaflouride gas through many acres of porous barriers. The next part of the process gradually concentrates the elements, creating a deadly hazard from radiation. 'Hex' is what they named this vicious stuff." The author decides to mix fact and fiction by giving an impressive-sounding fact, and then adding something completely false. She proclaims that chemists call uranium hexaflouride gas "hex" because of the negative implications of the word (from the German hexe meaning witch). It must have slipped the author's mind that the prefix is not "hex", it is "hexa", a Greek word meaning six, ie hexagon, hexadecimal, etc. The word means that there are six atoms of flourine in one molecule of uranium hexaflouride. If the author did not know that (which I'm sure she did) she should not be writing this book. For the icing on the cake, she implies that flourine is inherently radioactive because it can assist making the atomic bomb. She must not have heard of the H-bomb, made with hydrogen, the same hydrogen that makes up 66% of water. I've only mentioned one instance, but anybody buying this book should only do so for a good joke, this book is full of them. People may be impressed people by scientific jargon, but please realize that there is no mandate that even scientists (much less people trying to sell a product or idea) have to be honest. Honest science is a very good thing, but nearly all the time the only message heard comes from those that have the money to put it forth, and that certainly isn't research facilities. Research before you believe. "
