Hello Terry, Excellent commentary; thanks for stating these issues so clearly.

I have, for the last 18 years, forwarned my clients of the likelihood of experiencing a "healing crisis" when they begin to drink adequate quantities of DW, the same as I forwarn them of the possibility of it happening during a liver/colon cleanse, or even just changing to healthy, natural food, or a herx when first starting CS. The healing crisis would be initiated not only by the DW, but even more by the increased consumption of water in general. When the body gets enough water, it will start cleansing and detoxing at a higher level. One CS client of mine had an experience after taking just one tspn of CS. She woke up the next day with her face covered with a rash, her hands and fingers swollen, her mind numb and foggy, cramps and diahrrea. She has come to the conclusion, based on her experience, that CS is not good to ingest. No amount of reasoning with her prevails. The medical industry scorns "empirical" evidence - meaning subjective experiences which have been observed and reported by "unprofessionals" - (though they use it themselves whenever they feel they will profit) as being "unscientific" precisely because of the subjectivity of the report (too many uncontrolled factors). Yet they very unscientifically dismiss many hundreds of positive reports concerning CS while accepting 2 or 3 dubious reports of argyria which have virtually no clearly identifiable parameters. They do not even know exactly what the argyria victims ingested. With DW, for every subjective empirical experience which someone can relate about DW (such as the absurd one claiming that the negative health issues which a regular consumer of soda pop suffered were caused by the DW which was supposedly used in the soda!), I can relate an equal number or greater of very positive experiences (albeit empirical) utilizing DW as the primary therapy. I have read all kinds of claims by health "authorities" (Hey, they published a book, didn't they!) claiming both good and bad concerning DW, very rarely, if ever, substantiated by any "hard" science (as though that were the final arbiter of health questions). The answer is not to accumulate all the positive and negative reports concerning a given substance or therapy, add them up, and see who has the most votes. The answer, in my opinion, is to objectively consider all the data from both sides of the issue (assuming there are only two sides!), try things out (though even that is difficult when one person says it is good for you and the other claims it is toxic), listen to your body (if you've learned how to do that), pray (if you're so inclined) and make your best decision. I notice that there are great enthusiasts for DW, RO, DI, filtered, spring, etc., water. (I haven't found any natural-oriented folks who advocate chlorinated water!) This says to me that the common ingredient which our bodies need is water. Dr. Reams felt that DW was best utilised by the body, and he had over 50,000 patients over the years (yes, 50K!) to support his claims. But he also said, if you can't get DW, drink whatever you CAN get. He said that if you could do nothing else for your health, at least drink enough water.
