Why do they keep deleting you??? All you're saying is that water isn't poisonous.

I took out my Merck index

There's half the problem right there. Maybe if you took out your Bible instead, your future wouldn't be looking so glum.

Uncle Goose, welcome to the Society for Beating One's Head against Stone Walls.

There's the other half of the problem. If you two would stop bashing your own heads against walls, maybe your posts wouldn't be so brain damaged and you wouldn't fall for everything the LIEberal "Merck index" would try to make you believe!

But I will let you know that drinking pure (distilled, if you wish) DHMO can produce rapid loss of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) and trace minerals like magnesium, deficiencies of which can cause heart beat irregularities and high blood pressure. Also, it pulls the minerals out of food and lowers their nutrient value.

Oh, and where does the Bible state that Dihydrogen Monoxide is or isn't plain water??


Do you realize that without the Merck Index many common things like plastics and other commonly used things wouldn't even exist?? The Merck index is the reference of those who do research into new chemical compounds. Sorry, but after working years in the chemical business you don't have to tell me what water (or Dihydrogen Monoxide, as you call it) really is.

And giving me infractions won't change the fact that the site that the OP posted is actually a scam to generate money via a paypal account.

Show me where they are saying something that is not true by any standard...

If you would only drink distilled water (or DHMO) it would indeed lower your electrolytes and minerals but the fact is that we also eat, so any loss on that account would be minimized by eating. But it would serve no useful purpose to drink distilled water, that's something you better put in your iron.

You are mistaken. Distilled water is free of dissolved minerals and, because of this, has the special property of being able to actively absorb toxic substances from the body and eliminate them. Studies validate the benefits of drinking distilled water when one is seeking to cleanse or detoxify the system.

Indeed, they do not say anything that is untrue, but that was not the point here. The point was that some simply refused to believe that DMHO is just water, nothing more. Sure, when you inhale it you die by drowning, evaporated DMHO is simply steam that will burn you. Although it must be very difficult to drink an amount of water that actually kill you. At the end everything is a poison, only the quantity determines when it becomes a poison.

The website is just a way to sell T-shirts and other swag. It's a hoax.

An ex of mine, using the logic that if a little of something is good, a lot is better, drank several gallons of water a day, as opposed to several glasses. He actually drank so much water that he depleted the sodium in his body, throwing his electrolyte balance (and his body's ability to absorb the water he was drinking) out of whack. Had I not insisted that he see a doctor, he could well have died of dehydration due to excessive water consumption.

Mhhh, yes, that sounds logical. I never thought about it in that way.

No, just poor logic.

Yeah, if I was going out with you, I would have had you drink the DHMO, or look for a swifter method of escaping the pain...

Are you suggesting my wife's prune cake is poisonous? How about Pastor Ezekiel's powerful and inspiring sermons? I've had both in large quantities, and yet here I am typing these words. Clearly everything is not poisonous. I'm beginning to suspect you have Down Syndrome. Why isn't somebody supervising you?

We are speaking here about things you can eat and drink, sermons do not fall into that category. And yes, even prune cake theoretically could kill you although I doubt anybody in the world could eat the amount that is necessary to make it happen.
