What is Rain Water?, it is Pure Distilled Water.
How is it possible to live off Rain Water, if they have no Minerals?
Many people drink rain water and only rain water.

There are plenty of organic compounds that have nothing to do with life.
There are also plenty of inorganic compounds that have everything to do with life.
An organic compound is one which contains carbon. An inorganic compound does not.
Calcium is an element, not a compound. It cannot be organic, though it can be found in both organic and inorganic compounds.
Sodium is an element we can't live without, it is not organic. Sodium chloride (salt) is not organic.

OK, but what I'm saying is minerals or "Elements" can only be absorbed through Organic Materials.

I already proved that wrong. Keep lying.
Calcium, Sodium, and Magnesium. Inorganic, you die without them.
It's like saying if you stop drinking milk you will need to supplement the calcium loss.

You haven't proved anything wrong, nor have you proven your own stance to be irrefutable - which is made obvious by all the posts directly questioning your statements.

Gross. You can keep all the milk to yourself if you want, unless it is made into a delicious cheese...then I would request you share

Dingo, answer me this. How do people get heavy metal poisoning? For example, mercury poisoning. Mercury is not organic. If you eat mercury, you will get mercury poisoning.
How can you be poisoned with something your body isn't absorbing? You can't. You absorb plenty of inorganic stuff all the time, it's an absolute fact, you are just wrong. Please deal with your issues and stop spreading ignorance.

This is a funny thread with a whole lot of misinformation in it Especially some of the stuff about fish and aquariums
This removes the impurities and any particulate that could be in the water, or neutralizes the pH by eliminating the various ions that could be floating in the water. While this gives you very pure water, this water is potentially dangerous for your aquarium.
Note that pure sources of water must never be used alone in the aquarium. They are too pure, and contain none of the essential minerals that fish need, and also have no buffering capacity to stabilise the pH.

Apparently if you put mercury in water it's not harmful. Fluoride must likewise not effect anyone, your body just gets rid of it.

I wonder what the point of putting it in there is, then?

I have been drinking distilled water for about two years now. I rarely get sick and if I do it only lasts a day.
From what I understand about the "early death article" is it's mostly bogus science creating a trillion dollar lie.
If you look at testimonials about distilled water and its effect on the human body you will find that people cure themselves of all sorts of diseases.
This man Andrew Norton Weber talks a lot about the benefits of distilled water and will clarify what I think the OP is trying to get across.
Forgot to add: I die soon I'll let you know...

3.5 How Inorganic Minerals Are Transformed
Even plants, when in their embryonic state, cannot use inorganic minerals in the soil, but instead feed on the organic compounds contained within its seed. Not until its roots and leave? are grown can a plant utilize the inorganic minerals of the soil.
The changing of inorganic matter into organic matter takes place principally in the green leaves of the plant by means of photosynthesis. Only by the presence of chlorophyll is the plant able to utilize the inorganic carbon molecule and convert it with hydrogen and oxygen into the organic combinations of starch and sugar. And, ultimately, the plant combines nitrogen and other mineral elements from the soil into more complex organic combinations. Only the chlorophyll-bearing plants have the ability to assimilate iron, calcium and other minerals from the soil and to use the resulting combinations to construct nucleo-proteins.
Vital changes occur in all minerals as they pass into the structure of plants. These changes cannot be isolated by normal chemical laboratory processes which destroy living plant tissues to analyze them. Such crude methods of studying the role of organic minerals in an organism is somewhat akin to the old medical practice of dissecting cadavers to look for evidence of the human soul.

No. It's about how plants create larger molecules like carbohydrates. That has nothing to do with trace mineral nutrients.
So is this article complete BS too?
Why? There are plenty of testimonials that Jesus cured people too.
Also If you google distilled water testimonials it sure seems like a lot of people have written how distilled water cured them of diseases for it to be complete BS.
