Water: The Shocking Truth That can Save Your Life Paperback – September 16, 2004

Having personally met Paul Bragg in Hawaii in the mid 1960's, I can assure you that for a man in his 70's he was a remarkable example of the philosophy he preached. Drinking distilled water is something I do when fasting as it is the purest form of water to cleanse the body. To this day, it remains a controversial topic--some saying it robs the bones of vital minerals-- but it never seemed to hurt Paul whose untimely death was due to a swimming accident off Fort De Russy Beach. He apparently swallowed some sea water while swimming to the raft and it got into his lungs. He never quite recovered from that even though he was revived by EMTs at the beach. I always have enjoyed all of his books and this one is no exception. It is a treasure trove of valuable information about our contaminated water supply. Thank you, Patricia, for carrying on your father's legacy. He changed my life.

OMG! This is a most incredible book! The information in this book probably did save my life. I was experiencing pretty severe swelling in my ankles and feet that my doctor was very concerned about. I was told that if the problem didn't get resolved with a low salt diet I would have to go on diuretics. I do not like taking any kind of medication, even aspirin. After reading this book, which dicusses the dangers of drinking tap water, I immediately bought a water distiller. After a few weeks, the swelling in my feet and ankles totally resolved itself. The other benefits of drinking distilled water are also discussed in the book, such as resolving symptoms that seem to be arthritis, which are actually caused by the calcifications produced in your body from drinking inorganic water. I have experienced relief from these symptoms also. Thank You Dr. Bragg for making this information available to us!!! And a special thanks to Patricia Bragg for continuing to carrying on the work of her father!

The quality of our water is more important than you might think. This is a great book to learn how the water you drink could impact your health and why not all water is the same!

This Bragg book is a good start for readers just beginning a search for a healthier lifestyle. The reader will have to decide which of the multiple topics included are beneficial to them. I currently tend to favor the belief that distilled water is healthier for us but I have to admit that I'm still in a consideration mode when debating which form of water actually is the best for all of us to consume. By the way, this book is about much more than just water.The Braggs have been in the health business for many years and refer repeatedly in this book to their "Health Crusades". They have a long history of publications, speaking engagements and endorsements. Their passion is easily observable when reading their perspectives on water, fasting, disease prevention and other topics regarding healthier lifestyle practices.I walked away convinced that they believe what they are "preaching" as they have used themselves as lifestyle test subjects for their entire lives.They are vegetarians who approach their diet, exercise and overall lifestyle seriously.This book gives you several claims concerning building your health profile that you may want to consider.Format is a bit dizzying with all the testimonials, endorsements, proverbs, bible references and probably should be cleaned up for a less distracting read.

Another classic book on water, this one is much more detailed than Walker's Water Can Undermine Your Health, but just as easy to read. If you are crazy enough to drink tap water, you will stop after reading this book. You should get both books, but if you can only get one, this would be my first choice. BTW, TDS meters, shipped direct from China, are cheap enough on ebay to check the relative quality of your water.

Water is the most important thing that we consume. This book will help understand more about why it is critical that you drink clean water and make sure you drink enough. It is a life changer!

A good introduction into why pure water is so important and what could go wrong when you drink water with pollutants. However they have at least 2 EDITIONS OF THIS BOOK and it seems like I got an older edition from a 3rd party seller.Also I don't agree with their food guide pyramid. The Transcend Food Pyramid (page 239 of Transcend) is a closer match of how centenarians eat.

I enjoy reading the book shocking truth about water, water is very important to the worldand very important to human body the world would be lost without water in the world. I enjoy that book I learn a lot from that book to Mr amazon.com keep educated people keep selling the knowledge spreading the word to educate people thank you.Mr.T.Sr.Hakeem..
