water as a tool for hydration?
Water is essential for life, not just hydration...
"I personally don't subscribe to the theory of drinking rain water (even in a more pure environment) or that humans ever did."
There is historical evidence that people did drink rainwater.
"Condensation (dew and absorbed water on leaves, grass, fruit, etc.) would be a better water to drink for humans than rain in my opinion."
Yes, I'm sure cavemen ran around licking dew, but no "civilized" people did. Why don't you try that sometime and let us know how sustaining that is.
Personally, I don't subscribe to the purifying MODEL because as stated in point #1 I don't believe this was ever an option nor what God had in mind for us. Yes, people relied on fruits to quench part of their thirst but what did they use to cook their soups and other meal preparations, certainly not pure H20!
I also believe in eating traditional REAL foods (whole grain breads, soups, meat and potatoes---all the foods that God provided for our pleasure). I like MH but his ideas on diet are CRAZY!
I love to cook; I love to eat; and I love my bubbly mineral water!
As far as distilling goes, I don't trust the metal tubes where the water collects in the distiller, as most are made in CHINA! I think there is more danger in that metal than people realize.
