If water could talk, would we take the time to listen? Since
it surrounds us daily, many of us take for granted the rain on our windshield
or the glass full on our nightstand. We are blessed with a water evolution
cycle that often is taken for granted by some and not understood by others. It
is this evolution cycle that enables us in global terms to use the same water
our forefathers did.
If water could talk, the speech would be full of topics from
lessons in history. There would be missing facts to many of life's mysteries
and the realization that water is the most important molecule on our Earth.
Since staying alive, keeping life in balance and maintaining a healthy body
into our "golden years" seems to be a worldwide focus, it seems only
natural for one to migrate toward those items in life that will enhance his
journey.
Most people still get their water from the household
faucets. It comes to us from lakes, rivers, streams and wells. Most goes
through the local water treatment plant, but many pollutants and waterborne diseases
still are in the finished product and, therefore, in your food and beverages.
Inspiring Technology
I first really learned about distillation technology while
vacationing in Arizona. John Bevel, the local Durastill representative, was
demonstrating a small in-home unit. He explained the benefits of steam
distillation and began sharing samples of the product. A byproduct of the
process Bevel was demonstrating was drained from the boiling chamber of the
distiller. A thick, mucky, white accumulation of nature's inorganic minerals
filled the bucket. I was intrigued by this observation, and many questions came
to my mind.
I made a decision to educate myself on these matters.
Passing that knowledge on to others became my goal.
Like many others, I had dabbled in various counter-top,
in-line and manual fill filters over the years, trying to avoid the side
effects of fluoride and chlorine found in my local municipal supply. My early
perception to steam distilled water was limited for use in the clothes iron or
car battery. If needed, it could be found on the lower shelf at the local drug
store.
With a background in emergency medical services for 25
years, I began to put the pieces of this water mystery puzzle together. How
many patients had I seen over the years with numerous medical problems that
were related to a build-up of inorganic minerals within their bodies?
Some very important materials helped to educate me on the
importance of high-quality water and distillation. (See "Recommended
Reading.")
Satisfied that I had absorbed a significant amount of
knowledge from these references, I discovered the importance of teaching people
about high-quality water. In addition, the ability to share necessary
information to the general public became surprisingly easy.
Quick Tutorial
For those not familiar with the distillation procedure, here
is a brief explanation. Water from any source enters a partially closed tank.
An electric heating element inside the tank boils the water, creating steam.
The steam rises, leaving behind bacteria killed in the boiling process as well
as chemicals, inorganic minerals and harmful pollutants from the water source.
The steam moves into the condenser coil where it is cooled by a small fan. The
now cooled stainless steel coil system converts the steam vapor back into pure
water. The water passes through a carbon filter to catch any other chemicals
that were not dissipated from a volatile gas vent located at the beginning of
the coil. The water then is collected for use.
There are clear advantages to distillation. Distilled water
easily and efficiently removes toxic chemicals, heavy metals, bacteria,
viruses, parasites such as Cryptosporidium and other contaminants that are
harmful to your health. It does not rely on filters that can fail, letting
contaminates pass through into the treated water. Distillers do not require a
complicated disinfecting process when used on water to get rid of bacteria. Use
of distillation allows your customers to produce their own water to assure they
have control over the finished product--unlike buying bottled water.
Business Beginnings
I purchased a Durastill unit and began my own experiments.
Equipped with baby food jars filled with dried inorganic minerals of multiple
colors and the liquid remains drained from the boiling chamber, I set out to
share my wares.
This graphic spectacle was enough of a reality check to show
folks what they really are drinking when it came to consuming tap water.
Displays of distillers at local businesses, the state fair and advertising
began to show encouraging results. Discussions for civic groups, classrooms and
health centers soon began to fill my calendar. I began to see that families
that had selected steam-distilled water were going to use it for life.
There certainly are occasions where I am bombarded by the
stoic well water owner or artesian spring water consumer who doesn't believe
the samples of gunk in the jars are for real. In those instances, a
well-planned demonstration will be necessary. Utilize such techniques as suggesting
they place their water on a mirror and letting it evaporate or showing them the
spots left over after washing their cars. Each is an excellent way to show them
your product is needed.
Over time, inorganic accumulations can develop in different
parts of our bodies, creating future havoc to our well-being. Being aware and
proactive on health issues at any age will pay dividends physically,
financially, mentally and emotionally as life progresses.
Believing in your product will go a long way for your
business as well. It is my opinion that utilizing steam-distilled water from
any manufacturer's unit or in bottled form for cooking, drinking, etc., will be
beneficial to any consumer. People obsess with what they look like on the
outside. Shouldn't your clients be concerned with what they look like on the
inside as well?
The result of ingesting inorganic minerals that a
distillation unit can eliminate is an accumulation of debris in our bodies. The
most common mineral in groundwater is calcium carbonate (lime)--a key
ingredient in concrete and cement. Ever see a large stalagmite or stalactite in
a limestone cavern? Then you can visualize how this hard rock forms, one drop
at a time in a cave--or in the inside of your arteries, joints or in the form
of a kidney stone.
Try this: Pour water from your customer's faucet into a pan.
Put that pan of water in the sun and let it evaporate. If you are in a hurry,
boil it. Either way, once the water has evaporated, he will find a solid
coating of mineral deposits on the side and bottom of the pan. These are the
same deposits left in your arteries and the rest of your body. Of course, then
you can explain how your technology works and that distillation units are able
to significantly reduce or eliminate such things as arsenic, bacteria,
Cryptosporidium, lead, nitrates and viruses.
Proven Results
Take your proven results / success stories and share them
with your customers. Hearing success stories has been both rewarding and a good
selling tool. For example, a local radiator shop began purchasing water for use
in car radiators. Its supplier would not stand behind the warranty if distilled
water was not used because it required water that had no minerals left to clog
the system. Other customers can include chemotherapy patients with compromised
immune systems, people with allergies to fluoride or chlorine or households
with plumbing tastes and odors.
I encourage business owners to do your own experimenting
with distillation, gain success stories and then spread the word of your
positive results.
