It’s off topic (sorry Vulcanel), but with many other distilled water drinkers here, I had to express my joy with you all! I just got my water distiller delivered and set up today. I ended up getting a Durastill, makes 8 gallons/day. When I get some extra coin, here comes a 10 gallon storage tank and I can hook it up to a water line and it will be all automatic. Sweet! Nothing better than rainwater from a machine made in the USA. :-D Cheers!   [End]

So you thinking maybe up moms dose, maybe 100mg SSKI and skip out on the Lugols?

Olivia is starting to go after cups with straws and will actually suck and drink through it. That could be a good way to get her a drop of SSKI, but what do I do about getting her selenium?

You makes sense, but I see it this way also. Nature does not provide us with distilled water. As the water falls it will saturate with various compounds it comes in with including gases and minerals from dust. When it hits the ground it further reacts with minerals. So we have always drunk mineralized, not distilled water, and we have flourished on this planet. Rain water definitely has collected a lot of stuff on its way to us.   [End]
