BRAGG TITLES This book examines the facts about water, revealing the best water for your health. The author describes how most waters available are contaminated with PCB's, chemicals, flourides, chlorides, pesticides, lead, and industrial wastes. Pure Water (H2O) is the EssentialFluid of Life Required for Health!
The most important factors that make for a healthier, happier, longer life are:
- Pure, unpolluted air and practicing deep breathing.
- Drinking purified distilled water that is free from harmful chemicals, toxins and inorganic minerals. Ideal is 8 glasses per day for body maintenance and health.
- Eating natural, organically grown foods is best.
The two most important substances on this earth are air and WATER! Water is perhaps the single most characteristic substance of our planet. It may simultaneously appear in solid, liquid and gaseous forms. It has been adapted as a unit of measure for the specific gravity of all other substances. Water plays important roles in the circulation of the earth's surface elements.
Man must have water or he soon dies! Consider the shipwrecked sailor on a great ocean of salt water – if this man does not get fresh salt-free water, he dies. The man who gets lost in the dry, hot desert soon dies of dehydration if he does not get water. Thirst can drive him insane before he endures an agonizing death.
Certain animals – squirrels, rabbits, etc. that feed on grasses and herbs containing about 85% water never need a drink as long as they can find their natural food.
The Law of Cause and Effect:
An unhealthy lifestyle produces illnesses and disease. Most humans are lacking sufficient water intake to maintain optimum body health! Fact: most people are dehydrated most of their lives! It's vital to have 8 glasses of distilled water daily to operate the body functions and achieve The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle for supreme health! - Paul C. Bragg
The World's Water Supply:
Water is distributed in great or small amounts to every part of the earth. All but about 3% of the water is held in oceans; the remainder is found as deep as 3 miles under the earth's crust or as high as 7 miles above the surface, as vapor. The table above shows the quantity and percentage of water in all its habitats.
| Location | Water Volume
(cubic miles) | Percentage
of Total Water | | Surface Water | | Fresh Water Lakes | 30,000 | .009 | | Sealine Lakes and Inland Lakes | 25,000 | .008 | | Rivers and Streams | 300 | .0001 | | 55,300 | .017 | | Subsurface Water | | Soil moisture | 16,000 | .005 | Groundwater within
depth of half miles | 1,000,000 | 31 | | Deep lying groundwater | 1,000,000 | 31 | | 2,016,000 | .625 | | Ice Caps and Glaciers | 7,000,000 | 2.15 | | Atmosphere | 3,100 | .001 | | Oceans | 317,000,000 | 97.2 | | TOTAL (approx.) | 326,000,000 | 100 | Mother's milk contains about 87% water; juicy fruits and succulent vegetables also possess almost the same percentage of fluid. Those who consume ample amounts of fresh fruit daily absorb, in addition to about 8 ounces of solid food, at least 3 pints of living, naturally purified water, distilled by Mother Nature.
Water is one of the most important substances on the face of the earth. Without it, all life – from plants to humans to animals – would cease to exist!
Water Goes On Forever
Water is absolutely indestructible, but unfortunately easily polluted! Scientists believe that there is not a drop more – nor a drop less – than when shallow water first formed the roundness of the earth with its tidal currents. Volcanic eruptions eventually brought solid rock and earth above the water in the form of mountains. Over time, these became the continents.
Why the Body Needs Pure Water
The amount of water a body needs depends on temperature, climate, one's activities and health – 8 glasses is average. When you drink a glass of water it goes straight to your stomach. Part of the water is absorbed directly into your bloodstream through the walls of your stomach and some of the remainder goes to your intestines to keep the food you eat in a liquid state while it is being absorbed; this water is later absorbed directly into the blood.
Drinking the right kind of water is one of your best natural protections against all kinds of virus infections such as influenza, pneumonia, whooping cough, measles and other infectious diseases. Doctors advise bed-rest and plenty of water for the flu. When the body's tissues and cells are kept well-supplied with ample water, they can fight viral attacks more efficiently. If the body's cells are water-starved, they become shriveled-up, parched and dry, making it easy for viruses and diseases to attack.
Always bear in mind the important functions of the right kind of water in your body. Water is a vital component of all body fluids, tissues, cells, lymph, blood and glandular secretions. Water holds all nutritive factors in solution and acts as a transportation medium to the various parts of the body for these substances. The mucous membranes need plenty of water to keep them soft and free from friction on their delicate surfaces.
Liquid is necessary for the proper digestion of food! The stomach acts as a powerful churn to break down food into tiny particles. Remember to chew your food thoroughly to help your stomach, for it has no teeth!
Water Flushes Toxins Out of the Body
One of the most important functions of water is to flush the toxins and salt from the body. Unfortunately, people the world over now consume large amounts of salt. However, from centuries ago to the present day, there are still many countries that have never known what salt is, and whose people are still healthy and happy.
The Japanese are known to be the world's highest consumers of table salt (inorganic salt – sodium chloride). A Japanese farmer who lives to age 60 eats approximately 2 ounces of salt every day and filters up to 2,737.5 pounds or 1.36 tons of salt through his kidneys in his lifetime! This heavy salt intake hastens premature death!
Americans are not far behind the Japanese in the consumption of salt. Not only do Americans add plenty of salt to their foods, they also eat large amounts of ham, bacon, hot dogs, luncheon meats, corned beef, potato chips, salted nuts and many other foods with high concentrations of salt. No wonder heart disease is the No. 1 killer in America! Even people in their 30s and 40s suffer from high blood pressure, kidney trouble, arthritis and the greatest of all killers – arteriosclerosis – the clogging of the arteries, veins and blood vessels! The proper amount and right kind of water helps to keep cholesterol levels down. Water is a great flushing agent.
The right kind of water is also Mother Nature's greatest beauty and health tonic! In our long careers as health and fitness advisors to Hollywood's famous stars of movies and TV, we have found that when we can persuade the stars to use the correct liquids they retain a more youthful face and figure longer than people who drink ordinary tap water. Pure water keeps the body's cells healthier and prevents dehydration. The face and neck remain more free of ageing lines and wrinkles, while the entire body retains its youthfulness longer!

The 70% Watery Human
The amount of water in the human body, averaging 70%, varies considerably and even from one part of the body to another area (illustration on right). A lean man may hold 70% of his weight in body water, while a woman – because of her larger proportion of water-poor fatty tissues – may be only 52% water. The lowering of the water content in the blood is what triggers the hypothalamus, the brain's thirst center, to send out its familiar urgent demand for a drink of water.
Water Percentage in Various Body Parts:
Water is Important to Superb Health
People who ingest a sufficient amount of the right kinds of liquids (distilled water, fresh fruits and vegetables and their juices) have better body functioning and circulation overall, which are most important to Super Health and Long Life.
You have 15 billion powerful brain cells which are 74.5% water. We strongly believe the right kind of water in sufficient amounts helps improve your mind and brain power and makes you think better and more accurately!
We also think that the excessively nervous and/or mentally upset person is so obsessed with his own worries and "hang-ups" that he just forgets to drink sufficient pure water. Instead, he dopes himself with alcohol, tea, coffee and cola drinks which only complicate his nervous condition by introducing burning, toxic acid into his stomach with no food or water to dilute it. So on top of his nervousness and depression, he suffers from heartburn, sour acid stomach, gas, bloating, enervation and low energy. In place of sufficient pure water, he again dopes up on stimulants, coffee, soft drinks, cigarettes, aspirin, antacids, etc.
Remember that the nerves need the correct amount of water to function properly and smoothly. You can plainly see that it is possible to suffer from water starvation. Here is a simple way that you can help yourself to better health – the Natural Pure Water Way!
The specific reason we wrote this book was to give you the knowledge to select the right kind and amount of water your body so desperately needs! Here is your invitation to enjoy the gift of Super Health, Longevity and Freedom from bodily miseries through following Mother Nature's and God's Eternal Laws combined with the powerful self-health knowledge you are reading.
Fluorine is a Deadly Poison
Millions upon millions of innocent people have been brainwashed by the aluminum companies to erroneously believe that adding sodium fluoride to our drinking water will reduce tooth decay in our children. Over 135 million Americans drink a daily dose of sodium fluoride in their water without thinking of it! Fluorine, the gangster of the chemical underworld, made the atomic bomb possible. 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 hexafluoride 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.

Water and Its Effects On the Human Body
The Stones Within Us
The more we learned about biochemistry (life chemistry), the more we realized why so many people were prematurely old and suffering from pain throughout their bodies. During our visits to London's largest hospitals, we learned more about stones forming within the human body.
Why do stones form in our bodies? What does this mean with regard to human health?
The most common places to find such stones are in the gallbladder, the kidneys, the passageways between kidneys and bladder (known as the orators) and within the bladder itself. Another organ where stones are sometimes revealed by an X-ray is the pancreas. This is the glandular organ which lies behind the stomach and has both an internal and an external secretion. Stone formation anywhere in the body has always been regarded as a diseased condition.
In our opinion, all these stones are formed by the unbalanced, acid, toxin-producing diet that most humans eat; further aggravated by the chemicalized, inorganically mineralized water they drink. Add to this the heavy concentrations of salt most people use, plus the tremendous amount of waxy cholesterol (saturated fats) ingested by the average person, then unhealthful conditions result! Unbalanced diets form toxic poisons which the body cannot metabolize or easily eliminate, so these toxins are formed into stones by the body's chemistry. Practically all drinking water contains the inorganic mineral calcium carbonate. This and other inorganic minerals and toxins play a part in the formation of stones within the body's organs.
Stop Kidney Stones Cold*
It is hard to believe that something as small as a kidney stone could cause such severe pain. Most people who have suffered through such an episode are highly motivated to do anything necessary to avoid another attack. By making certain lifestyle and diet changes, kidney stone attacks can be prevented.
Kidney stones are composed of waste products – things the body doesn't use or need. Normally these wastes are eliminated through your kidneys in urine, but when there is too much waste or not enough fluid to flush it out, it all comes together to form a stone. The elimination of these stones is what causes the excruciating pain.
By drinking 8 or more 8 oz. glasses of pure distilled, water daily and eating less of the foods that form crystals you can prevent the recurrence of kidney stones. Fluids are the single most important ingredient in the prevention of stones. It is important to not get dehydrated and to stay away from hard, artificially softened or mineral waters. Salt, alcohol, inorganic calcium, animal proteins and oxalates are diet "dangers" in the stone-forming process.
Calcium is the most abundant mineral found in kidney stones and calcium stone-formers generally have high urinary calcium. But a low-calcium diet is not recommend because of bone loss and osteoporosis. Stone-formers are urged to consume the equivalent of 800 to 1,000 milligrams (mg) of dietary calcium.
Salt (inorganic sodium) in the diet affects the way your kidneys handle calcium, causing excretion of more calcium, thus increasing your risk of forming stones. Excess amounts of Vitamin C and D can cause stone formation. Alcohol inhibits the ability of the kidneys to excrete uric acid.
Kidney stones can be prevented by following The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle and drinking pure distilled water. Kidney stones really are "what you eat and drink"!"

Ten Commonsense Reasons Why You Should Only Drink Pure, Distilled Water!
- There are over 12,000 chemicals on the market today . . . and 500 are being added annually! Regardless of where you live – in the city or on the farm, some of these chemicals are getting into your drinking water.
- No one knows what effects these toxic chemicals may have upon the body and what and how many toxic combinations are created. It's like making a mixture of colors; one drop can change the color.
- No equipment has been designed to detect these harmful chemical combinations and may not be for years.
- The body is made up of approximately 70% water, the essential fluid of life. Therefore, don't you think you should be wise about the type of water you drink?
- The Navy has been drinking distilled water for years!
- Distilled water is chemical and mineral free. Distillation removes all the chemicals and impurities from water that are possible to remove. If distillation doesn't remove them, there is no method known today that will.
- The body does need minerals, but it's not necessary that they come from water. There is not one mineral in water which cannot be found more abundantly in food! Water is the most unreliable source of minerals because it varies from one area to another. The food we eat – not the water we drink – is our best reliable source of organic minerals!
- Distilled water is used for intravenous feeding, inhalation therapy, prescriptions and baby formulas. Therefore, doesn't it make common sense that distilled water is good and healthier for everyone?
- Thousands of water distillers have been sold throughout the United States and many foreign countries to individuals, families, dentists, doctors, hospitals, nursing homes and government agencies . . . and these informed, alert consumers are helping protect their health by using only pure distilled water.
- With all of the chemicals, pollutants and other impurities in our water, it only makes good common sense that you should clean up the water you drink the inexpensive way, through distillation.
