How to Remineralize “empty” Water

In 1980, the results of a study commissioned to provide guidelines for demineralized (empty) water, concluded:

“Not only does completely demineralized water have unsatisfactory organoleptic properities [taste] but it also has a definite adverse influence on the animal and human organism.”

Water is not considered a major source of minerals—but perhaps it should be. In today’s world where food provides fewer and fewer minerals (and other nutrients) water is becoming a more significant source. Its role in maintaining electrolyte balance is well known. In the case of deficiency, the intake of minerals in drinking water can play a relevant role.

Although generally ignored, significant evidence exists that the consumption of demineralized water can have serious health effects. Research conducted in Russia concluded that water low in minerals was a risk factor for hypertension and coronary heart disease, gastric and duodenal ulcers, chronic gastritis, goiter, and complications in newborns and infants. The German Society for Nutrition reached similar conclusions and warned the public in 1993 against drinking distilled water. They reported symptoms that included cardiovascular disorders, fatigue, headache and muscle cramps.

True hydration does not occur with demineralized water. Perhaps this is why its consumption does not quench thirst. The absence of minerals in water leaches electrolytes from the body causing water retention (water in the extracellular fluid outside the cells) and osmotic changes in the blood.  For these reasons and many others, minerals should always be added back to water after any form of purification (distillation, deionization and reverse osmosis).

Unfortunately, the simple addition of minerals is not enough.

Demineralized water requires both remineralization and reconditioning to bring it to a point where it can support organic life. Movement and magnetic fields speed the process of reconditioning; Earth resonance and beneficial microbes help to bring balance.

Unfortunately, reverse osmosis (RO) water is the most difficult to remineralize. The RO process is extremely damaging to water, stripping each molecule from its neighbor and obliterating the hydrogen bonded network. In our experience, RO water requires the addition of fresh spring water  (at least a 1 to 4 ratio) to return the life force and the essential patterns that make Earth’s water so unique. After that, the addition of minerals and any or all of the following will support the process.

Adding minerals
The addition of minerals in their ionized state is important—especially with demineralized (empty) water. Always add minerals in solution. In their liquid/ionized form, minerals find their place among water molecules more rapidly as the salt and water matrix develops. Given time, any natural, unprocessed salt solution will work.

You may also want to add extra bicarbonates. This is not absolutely necessary since unprocessed salts contain a small amount but the addition of bicarbonates provides buffering capacity (the ability to resist changes in pH) as well as numerous health benefits missing in empty water. Read about bicarbonates

To add minerals to empty water, do one of the following:

• Make a saturated salt solution (instructions at the end of this article). Add the maximum amount when remineralizing empty water.
• Add a liquid salt concentrate like OmniBlue Ocean Minerals. Add 10-20 drops/half gallon.

Movement within magnetic fields
According to research conducted at Stanford University, it can take days for purified water to reach equilibrium following the addition of minerals. Movement and magnetic fields are the key to hastening this process. Water vortexing machines like the Duet Water Revitalizer provide an optimum environment for the reconditioning of empty water. The repetitive movement within a magnetic field re-tunes each molecule helping it to respond like a part of an orchestra rather than as an individual instrument. Manual methods like the vortex magnetizer and handheld flow forms like the WaterFall that incorporate magnetics can accomplish the same thing; they just require more personal attention. You can also create a magnetic field by placing magnets around a pitcher and manually stirring the water.

To provide movement within a magnetic field choose one of the following:

1. Place salts in water and then run the Duet Water Revitalizer on the 27-minute cycle. NOTE: The mineral basket with the Duet releases some minerals as the water spins but to remineralize empty water, additional salts should be added.

2. Place salts in water and pour through the Vortex Magnetizer several times.

3. Place salts in water and pour through the WaterFall several times.

4. Place salts in water. Attach magnets to the container and stir for 15-20 minutes.

Additional ways to add minerals to empty water:

Prills are a form of magnesium oxide. They raise the pH and add buffering capacity to water.

Fulvic acids provide additional organic complexes to help carry minerals in a more biologically available form.

Maifan stone has been used for centuries in Asia to add small amounts of minerals to water. Maifan stone contains nearly 70% silicon dioxide (quartz) and a balance of other minerals in their oxide form. Oxides react with water to form hydroxides (and eventually bicarbonates) which slightly raise the pH in otherwise acidic water.  Equally important, maifan stone adds Earth resonance. This method is best used in circumstances where the water is allowed to sit for several days since stones release their minerals  slowly.

Earth resonance
All methods of purification (as opposed to filtration) rob water of its connection with the Earth. Re-establishing this connection is important for water to be able to support organic life. There are a number of ways to re-establish the Earth connection. Most obvious is to either place water directly on the Earth or add a small amount of spring water to the demineralized water. Both of these will communicate the resonance of the Earth to water. Alternatively, the use of Earthenware (clay) and glass (silicon dioxide/quartz) vessels bring in the Earth’s energy, as do orgone energy devices, laminar crystal, ceramic microbe technologies, and many of the Earth’s minerals. Use any or all of the following:

Earthenware (ceramic) and glass containers
Ceramic and glass both resonate with the Earth because they are made of natural materials. Glass is made of sand (mostly silicon dioxide). Ceramic materials are made of clay which is also composed of silica and a blend of minerals. Clay has a layered crystalline structure very similar to water’s crystalline geometry. It holds the resonance of the Earth more strongly than glass and it allows water to breathe.

Orgone energy
Orgone energy also brings the resonance of the Earth to water. As it gathers life force and continuously dispels negative energy, orgone energy devices (orgonite) naturally establish a connection with the organic life force present in/around the Earth.

Laminar crystal
Laminar crystal is a ceramic technology. It naturally carries the resonance of the Earth while attracting life force and life-supporting frequencies.

Earth resonance mix
The authors have developed a special blend of Earth minerals that can be used to supply both magnetics and Earth resonance  for water. The blend includes, paramagnetic sand, magnetite, quartz sand and mica (muscovite and biotite). Placing this mix around a vessel of water brings in the resonances of the Earth and refines water’s structure with a gentle magnetic field. It can also be used to fill quartz tubes which are placed around or inside a water vessel. Quartz magnifies the Earth resonance and amplifies the influence of minerals in the mix. It is ideal for reconditioning purified water or for the refinement of any source of water.
