Actually distilled tastes better than other waters, just without the so called "mineral" garbage that is present in mineral waters. Store bought distilled water stored in plastic containers can taste bad, I tried that. Some of them are actually not distilled but deionized, that´s a different process and can be harmful for human consumption, but it can be more cost effective for producers. So if you buy it from the store, make sure it´s true distillation. True distilled water usually has 0 or only a couple of TDS (total dissolvable liquids). If you speak to long term distilled water consumers they all say that normal water tastes bad after doing the change. That makes sense, because it´s pure water without contaminants. Try distilling your water for a couple of cycles, then scrap off the white residue that is left in the tank and eat that. It´s so good you´ll want to vomit. Adding artificially processed liquid mineral drops to distilled water is like adding raw milk to pasteurized, to make it healthy again. Complete nonesense.

It can take some time to get used to distilled water, but I consume it since quite some time now, for cooking, pure drinking and making tea, to no ill effect. It can have a cleansing effect, that can sometimes be a bit too much, but that depends on the person. I do sometimes make breaks of drinking it, because I drink carbonated water which is very acidic and helps kill candida as it raises stomach acid. Distilled water, once it gets in touch with CO2 gets acidic on the PH, but not as much as I would need. I also drank naturally sparkling water, just as it comes out of the source, like AV suggested, however my stomach does not like all brands I tried.

I know of some people that had issues with it, so it fits for some people and for some it does not. It might be the cleansing/detox effects that it can initiate, you might take longer to get used to it, or you simply don´t tolerate it. There is some very good info about distilled water on the net, also on yt unless they took it down already. Lastly, rain water is naturally distilled water. Only problem is that our environment is contaminated, so drinking rain water might not be a good idea in some regions. The only downside I would see from distilled water is that apparently it has no energy, people call it "dead". To counteract that you can add some shungite on the outside of the distiller, or you let it go through a vortex to mimic the natural flow of waters in rivers and the like.

So to answer the question, you don´t make it safe, it is safe already because you filter out all the contaminants. But it can take some time to get used to it, or you sometimes need a break of it. If you drink mineral water you drink dissolved limestone that the water picked up and dissolved on the way out of the spring source. Just look up calcium carbonate, the type of calcium present in mineral water, it´s the same type you find in egg shells, just this can lead to health problems already. There is a lot more info out there..including the spiritual component..you just need to know where to look for.  They drink it on the ISS, in submarines, it´s praised by real doctors...Anyhow, I´ll finish with the below:

DR. ALLEN E. BANIK:

“What we as scientists and the public have never realized is that minerals collected in the body from water are all inorganic minerals, which cannot be assimilated (digested) by the body. The only minerals that the body can utilize are the organic minerals (from fruits and vegetables). All other types of minerals are foreign substances to the body and must be disposed of or eliminated.”

“Distilled water then is water of the purest kind.  It is odorless, colorless and tasteless.  The divine purpose of water is to act as a solvent.  In nature, water in evaporation is so fine that your eye cannot perceive it as it is drawn up into the clouds.  Then it falls as rain, keeping the earth from being parched and burned.  As a solvent, it dissolves rocks and soil.  It figures in the transport of nutrients into plant life.

In the human body, water fills similar functions.  …Distilled water acts as a solvent in the body.  It dissolves food substances so they can be assimilated and taken into every cell.  It dissolves inorganic mineral substances lodged in tissues of the body so that such substances can be eliminated in the process of purifying the body.  Distilled water is the greatest solvent on earth —the only one that can be taken into the body without damage to the tissues.”

I am aware of the connection between heavy metals and candida, and I never tried the 3 you mentioned, although I know about them. But I got fed up of experimenting. I decided to stop all supplements and "extras", also finished the herbs I had, although they clearly made a difference, but I decided to put my focus on food and EMF. The shungite pendant I have definitely helped me, but I recently took it off since I got a q-link pendant. Just to see what´s more effective. Some people swear by it and funnily enough "vegetable police" might have found the cause for his year long health issues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMQr1qk6TX0. Imagine if "just" EMF is the main cause for most peoples never ending health problems. I would bet on that. Either way, so far I see not much difference by wearing the q-link. For some people it can take some weeks and some feel great right away. I´ll wear it for around a month, only then can I say that Shungite is better. I did notice however that recently I put another q-link (beside the one I am wearing) on my laptop and after some time I felt really shitty in front of my laptop. My vains started to pop out of my fingers and I felt very uncomfortable. I´m not sure what that means but I won´t do that again and just stick to the q-link necklace that I wear.  I am also waiting for some additional shungite protection "stuff" that I am very curious about.

I also decided to change my diet. Keto did not work. I felt weird at times, had no energy for so long, didn´t gain weight and sometimes got super tired after eating some cooked carbs (such as tomatoes). So I decided to eat more carbs and I couldn´t care less about counting them. I got fed up of the restrictions, that brought me to nowhere. Meat wise not much changed, although I eat more wild game now, but I decided to add acidic raw fruits that don´t have too many carbs, have a low GI and not too high oxalates. That would be kiwi, plums, green apples, and of course berries. I also found a brand that does low temp coconut butter, which initially I found way to sweet and now I can eat it with no disgust, but I think I need to be a bit careful with it. And I worked myself up on bee pollen. 1 tablespoon a day.

I also have completely cut out dark chocolate. Even just one piece almost made me vomit and gave me stomachache and headache. It´s funny how you gorge on one thing for so long, then the next day you can´t stand it. I even started to crave raw dairy. Which is a problem for me after all the knowledge I gained about it, mostly the downside of it. I would say I am very much against it. But I decided that I listen to my body and drank it cold, and it felt very good. One strange thing I noticed though is that when I drink organic raw milk I did not feel good, but when I drank the non organic one it´s fine. The milk comes from the same indigenous breed (so no A1), so that can´t be it. It could be the chemicals they use to clean the milk machine (in the organic one), or it could be something very speculative, the area it comes from. Maybe you should drink raw milk from the area you live, because the microbiome of that area is in the pasture is what your body is used to? I don´t know, that was just a though. It is said that for bee pollen this is what you should do. Maybe the same counts for milk.

After adding more carbs great things happened, first my dental decay got better, then I started to train again after many months, and I started to gain weight (which is kinda obvious). I don´t go crazy on carbs though. I do eat max one piece of fruit, maybe some berries and the coconut butter. And some saurkraut, tomatoes and such sub acid things. Veggie wise I stay low carb, I just feel that the raw fruit is helping against candida. Previously seen as "the enemy" I see raw acidic fruits now as helpers. So the conclusion so far is that EMF is the main issue, keto might not be a too good idea on candida (i´m not the only one that things that way), that I should listen more to my body rather than restricting myself and that just raw milk (no altered products such as cheese, butter, cream or kefir) might have some benefits.

That post went again a bit overboard but I think it might help people give some clues. Will update again once I tried the undecenoic acid.

Yes, tried herbs and bitters such as dandelion root, green tea, swedish bitters, 7 kräuter stern then different bitter alcohols such as fernet branca. And the 2 herbal blends from interstellar, which work well, but at the same time its not something that increases HCI, more something that kills pathogens (which I am sure diminish HCI). Then mint, wormwood I need to count as well, but these I have mainly taken after food. One thing though is that peppermint tea can help after digestion quite a lot. But you need to give it some time, drunk with a meal or right after won´t help your HCI, but it can help with bowel movements. I took wormwood in tinkture form and as a tea for around 10 days. Tea was a desaster, I was sweating and felt so bad that I had to stop. Tincture i took for longer and was ok.  For some time I also bit into a fresh ginger root after food and let it sit in the mouth for a couple of minutes, but didn´t swallow it. That activated my digestive powers greatly, id almost put it in the same effectiveness as corn on the cob. Carbonate water, right before the meal can also help a lot. But not with a meal. If food didnt digest well you can also drink carbonated water, it will aid digestion.

Currently I am experimenting with chilli and cayenne. I find that chilli oil is a bit too much, i think it can interfere with digestion, but thats maybe because of the addition of the "chilli flavor" that they put in there. But when I find I do not have enough HCI for that meal I am eating, I am craving something spicy, often mustard or chilli. I also tried tabasco, but you would need too much if you want good results. Jalapenos I also tried for some time, effective but red chilli is better. Yesterday I got harissa, a spicy sauce made of chilli, garlic, caraway, coriander, citric acid and salt. When I took this yesterday my digestion was very well. If that continues well I will make my own. Chilli is also great against parasites, garlic against h.pylori and has sulphuric acid helps for HCI as mentioned above, caraway and coriander aid digestion and lemon juice has low PH. Adding ginger might even enhance this "formular". I´ll see how it goes.

Let me chime in here as well, because I think I am getting closer to heal my health issues and I wanna share my experience after reading tons of stuff from people and papers every day.

Let´s start with the most important thing, at least in my opinion. I am sure I might repeat myself but whatever.

Stomach acid. If you don´t have enough of that you will have leaky gut, SIBO, candida, fungal overgrowth, IBS, food sensitivities, mineral and vitamin deficencies (hair loss, hair greying, weightloss), fatigue, low energy, low libido, indigestion, bloating, constipation and and and. So I think that needs to be tackled first and it might solve all your health problems. Sources of low HCI can be a previous low animal product diet, such as vegan or vegetarian, simply because grains and plants don´t need much HCI and can also diminish HCI (grains especially). Low HCI means parasites, candida, fungus, h.pylori can thrive and they will lower your PH that is needed to digest your foods even further.

After some digging I found what i´ll describe now... How to get the mineral acid back for proper gastric secretion. You can either supplement BETAINE or you can try GLYCINE, an aminon acid and proton donor. So if Betaine HCI + Pepsin didn´t work go for Glycine. I tried several of different brands and different dosages of Betaine HCI and Pepsin but it did either nothing, or constipated. It can also damage your stomach lining and can cause more harm than good. Therefore I will try for the glycine:

Hydrochloric acid - That is a H+ (proton) and a CL- (chloride anion). Proton is the acid and chloride is the salt. You need to combine these 2 otherwise the HCL pairing won´t work and u dont have ur HCL.  Therefore, if Betaine Pepsin did not work go for the LIQUID HCL drops. Dr. Clark sells them. You can find other brands. You put a couple of drops in a liquid such as water and drink that with a straw, don´t put that on your teeth as it will mess them up. You can put it directly onto food, but then it will touch the teeth, not good. I did not try the liquid HCI version yet, but it seems to be working very well for people that cannot tolerate the tablets or pepsin. I will get it soon and report back.

Another option is Sulfuric acid - can be found in some cruciferous vegetables, onions or garlic. I found that I have far better digestion when I eat raw onions, especially red. I think they have the highest sulphur content of the 3 (white, yellow, red). So bingo here. Again to be combined with chloride (salt). Red wine is someting that is the best for my digestion, I mentioned that many times. When nothing works this always works wonders. I think one of the reason is because of the sulphites added, same goes for thick balsamic vinegar, seems to increase HCI.

Then there is Phosphoric acid - Found in meats, dairy and eggs in very low concentrations, but also beans and other veggies. As a food additive it´s mainly in Cola, called additive E338. As far as I can remember, my digestion was very good when I drank coke with meals, that was before I had health issues. So when I had bad digestion today and I felt bloated I thought fuck it, so I bought diet coke, and it digested my food pretty well. Reason for that was certainly the phosphoric acid, the caffeine (which helps against parasites as well), and the carbonation. Won´t do it again though, coke is full of crap and the worst u can drink. Interesting to note though is that coke is more acidic than lemon. You can get the food grade phosphoric acid in liquid drops as well. So there is another option to digest foods again.

You need to keep in mind that you need the chloride ion to pair it with the above acids, otherwise it won´t pair and create your HCL properly. One option for that is salt or food. If Betaine and Glycine doesn´t work, increase the chloride. Glycine is just the amino acid but it can help build half of the mineral acid that one needs.

Also, vinegar (like ACV) does not contribute to stomach acid reserves because the acetic acid is broken down into hydrocarbons that don't supply the free protons. 

Anyhow, after experimenting for years I am back to increasing HCl, not the other way around. If you try and kill parasites, tackle candida overgrowth, h.pylori, you could also try and increase HCI. I think once it´s back to normal things will balance out, or you at least do both, tackle the critters and supply HCI at the same time. After many years I can say that I feel best on the following "protocol".

1. Waking up on a glass of distilled water, or I just leave it out and drink later
2. I take "spice" and peel" from theinterstellarplan.com. This guy does some crazy herbal blends, for different illnesses. And that combo is best for candida and h.pylori. Out of everything I have ever tried I think this is the real deal. However, I would recommend going for the stronger ratio (200:1). Atm i got 20:1 and i think its not effective enough, so the only thing I can do atm is maintenance, but I think increasing the dosage would be the best to maybe totally kill all the bad stuff inside my stomach and elsewhere.
3. i take a spoonful of coconut oil, coconut oil is pretty effective for molds and candida
4. I trink black tea with lemon. never did that before, but I find that it sorted out all my constipation issues and I am certain that the caffeine in the black tea kills parasites. I know that cuz when I started doing this I could vomit up parasites, easily without effort. It just came naturally.
5.Then I eat something. I also eat after almost each meal thawned cranberries with a piece of 100% dark chocolate (8g carbs per 100g only, organic and consistent of cocoa mass and cocoa butter, very low in oxalates opposed to normal chocolate) and roasted pumpkin seed oil (lower in phytates and higher nutrient count than cold pressed https://www.researchgate.net/publication/46032980_Nutritional_Evaluation_and_Physiochemical_Properties_of_Processed_Pumpkin_Telfairia_occidentalis_Hook_Seed_Flour and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6526651/). I find that the magnesium really calms me down and aids digestion a lot. Point is that when you have low HCI and you try and eat things like liver or sea food for mag and copper, you won´t be able to extract lots of it cuz your hci is not able to break it down properly. Pumpkin seed oil and dark chocolate on the other hand side are easily digestible I found. Cranberries are anti-parasitic as well, plus the most acidic berry and lowest in sugar (unless you get the shitty american GMO ones). Low acidity aids digestion as I have found too.
6. after food I chew and subsequently swallow that famous mastic gum from the greek island, one of the most effective remedies for h.pylori and "bad bacteria" that exists. i take that twice a day.

As you can see I am very deterimined to solve my health once and for all, with all that candida, h.pylori, parasites shit that comes with it. However, I think that atm all I can do is maintenance, because I am certain that I live in a moldy home and regardless what I do, I find that when I am in the fresh air everything, including digestion changes. So the only way for me to get out of this forever is to get out of that fucking place I am living at Anyhow, once I get my liquid HCI I will update here.

Edit: One more thing I wanted to mention. That´s iron toxicity. Well mentioned in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nofRzKj0UgA and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urk-i6RmSEI Morley mentions the connection between candida and heavy metals such as iron. Candida holds on to it. the more iron u got in your body the bigger oxidative stress and health issues you can get. I´m certain that dietary iron is not so much of an issue. After all I eat meat, especially red, every day. I think it more the toxic iron from cooking pans, showers, fortified foods (that I used to eat) that causes over accumulation. So I actually did something I never did, I went for a blood donation to start getting rid of the overload. Just to be sure I can rule that iron toxicity out which might be effecting my candida/parasites and other critters. I did pretty well, no fainting and was active the whole day. Being weak after donating can be a sign of low adrenals, so I def did not have that. Anyhow, I think its good to incorporate blood donation to download toxic blood and make way for ur body to create new one. Morley mentioned also something that makes sense. Back in the days we used to bleed much more, because of field work, hunting and what not, so blood loss and recycling of blood was something natural and normal, nowadays it´s not.
