Will share their experiences.
Some time ago I read a book by P. Bragg "Miracle of fasting" and decided to try his system. The main emphasis at separate meals, fasting, exercise and distilled water. I have lived under this system for over 3 years.
The results:
1) have Left many health problems.
2) Decreased sleep time.
3) were Wasps and exits from the body. Then was not the topic, thought I went to the roof.
4) There was a rejuvenation effect.
5) was the loss of social ties. Alas, when a healthy lifestyle was only of interest to retired people (in my environment).
A couple of years ago was drinking again only distribu. No side, harmful effects are not observed. Will tell another case. I had a cat, on the advice of "knowledgeable" bought him a super expensive food. As a result, after three months, he developed kidney stones. The vet said to cut, but the odds are not great. Refused. We've been together (out of solidarity:) starved on distribuce twenty days. Even gave him an eye dropper tincture of herbs to dissolve stones. The result-lives to this day

and chases cats.
With regard to the leaching of trace elements, I think it's a myth. Trace elements from plants (organic) enter into metabolic processes in the body immediately and with normal food supplied in the desired quantity. The only thing that can clean up, so the inorganic which the body cannot absorb. And this is the controversial "use" of the mineral, and the more mineralized waters. If animals could metabolize inorganic material, then all the earth would eat

-there is full of micronutrients. However, only plants(maybe even some microorganisms) can transfer to inorganic minerals to organic. Herbivores get them from plant foods, carnivorous of meat production.
Regarding the springs. In Karlovy vary (before the resort) was very high mortality rate, because the local water is rich in inorganic minerals, with constant use led to mass diseases. On the lake Balkhash, for example, in Soviet times (I do not know now) children to 12 years had a mouth full of metal crowns-teeth just eaten. Also quite hard water. So not every natural water is beneficial.
About water supply of Moscow. After distillation, in addition to the usual scale, remains with 5 liters tablespoon brown-brown slurry with a disgusting smell.
If anyone is interested, read Bragg, he examines the topic from many different perspectives.
In the net there are versions of this book to read and download.<
