About the Author

Dr. Allen E. Banik, was an optometrist who somehow caught the attention of Art Linkletter for his insatiable quest for knowledge, and an intense desire to trace all chronic and fatal diseases to a common cause. Dr. Banik's life spanned 1901-1992 (91 years young) and in The Choice is Clear, he shares one of the real secrets of longevity.

Enjoyed this book! & made some changes to my water consumption afterwards. Distilled water makes so much sense after reading this! & also after seeing what’s left in the distiller when I run it. This book truly has made me feel so informed on this now.

Tap water nearly killed me. This is long sorry. I have always been a sarcastic tap water user. What I mean by that is that when I saw people giving their pets purified drinking water it made me scoff. This was until I was pet sitting at a house and only drank distilled water for a week. When I came home I drank tap water again and was astounded how crappy I felt that day. My head was so foggy that I was literally afraid to drive to the store.

My knees hurt really badly like when I had osteoarthritis and I was anxious. I did some research and found that tap water has so much crap in it that it explained how I felt. At the very least I can say that the hormones that get flushed down the sink do not get removed properly. Anyway, from then on I only gave my cats and myself purified and all three of us in one month’s time have made miraculous recoveries! We all were sick and couldn’t figure out why. I have had one health issue after another that I realized began just 7 months after I quit my job, therefore staying home and drinking 5 cups of tape water per day.

I used to drink the purified water at the restaurant I worked at when I was there. Anyway, the first thing that happened was that my digestive system crashed and I couldn’t lose weight. Then, anemia and a UTI, then parasites that would not go away, then high blood pressure, then plaque in my arteries.

You can tell this is occurring because you will have tons of plaque on your teeth, then estrogen dominance and the list goes on and on. I was so close to death that I had a Near Death Experience during this time! Anyway, I feel so much better and my cats look ten years younger. They don’t limp when they walk anymore and they are a healthy weight for the first time ever.

This book will explain to you very quickly how distilled water is good for you. You can get your own TDS meter and test your own water from home. Do not believe the hype that distilled leaches minerals from the body. How can water do that? It makes no sense and we don’t get our minerals from water anyway! I now believe that tap water and diet like dairy and processed meats are what is causing all disease on this planet.

Another thing worth looking into is a movie called “WHAT THE HEALTH”. It will give you a look into healthy eating and what food really does to the body. This book is worth it. If you want to treat yourself and do what is right for your pets and family, stop drinking tap water. I live in a really nice neighborhood. You would think the water would be good here. No tap water in America is safe. ❤️

What I learned by reading this pamphlet is that there are nine types of water. According to the author, Allen E. Banik only one of them is a good source of H2O. Guess which one that is? See below.

Pros
*****
Size of booklet/pamphlet
Q & A section in the back - like do babies need distilled water?
Easy to read and understand
Confirmation of other health practices that I already subscribe to in my diet

Cons
*****
Did not go into much detail about why the other 8 sources of water are not as beneficial as the ultimate source
Dated - 1989 24th reprint; A lot of retail water containers are now known to contribute to future potential health issues

Read this book, it's well worth the money and ROI for your time as well. If there is a foundation success of any diet, it should be distilled water.

Tip: If you decide to buy distilled water, buy it from the baby section of the supermarket.

Read this book and you will buy an electric distiller like I did. It's amazing the crud that the water distiller removes from our drinking water. Very interesting and educational. My husband was convinced too... Distilled water is much healthier because the distiller removes fluoride, which water filters do not remove from your water.

If you're in the least bit concerned about your health or know someone who is, the problem could be in staring you in the face every time you reach for a drink of water!

Not everyone is effected in the same way by water quality, but as this book shows, health and longevity has been found among peoples of the world who were fortunate to be able to drink some of the purest water, whereas disease and premature deaths the world over correlate with poor quality drinking water.

The answer is to drink distilled water which draws inorganic minerals (the kind the body can't process and dumps them in joints and tissues instead) and chemical sludge out of the body, allowing it to heal itself and do it's job properly. So it's a proper detox mechanism, what your body would be able to do properly if it had the chance, all along. Pure water gives it this chance, a huge gift to your body.

Existing illnesses, including heart disease, dementia, arthritis and diabetes and even obesity, can all be vastly improved if not cured by doing this, in tandem with a nutritious diet etc. (The author recommends raw foods as much as possible). There are implications also in it's treatment of cancer and all other existing diseases, even mental illness. So whatever is wrong with you, this could be the one thing you never considered which could be key to regaining your health.

The author talks about 9 different types of water, what they are and what they potentially can do to the body, and why it's necessary to drink only the purest water you can find.
Written in 1971, it's a little dated in style and refers to American water supplies but the same information would definitely apply to the UK today at the very least, especially with large areas now also being flouridated (water filters do not remove this) as there would seem to be little, if any, water improvement since then.

The book is really a small booklet, but it doesn't need to be any bigger because the message is very simple and crystal clear about water quality and just why it is crucial, not just important, for your health.

I have bought two of these booklets, one for a friend, I have also recommended others to read it. In the first instance I was looking at the pollution of our planet and what we could do to limit the damage to us. Another thing I looked at was the benefits a decent diet could give us and how we could help our liver to redress the balance against all the harmful things we ingest or that which contacts through our skin. Water is a major part of keeping us in good health and this is what led me to investigate the impurities in our water. They are scary and appear to be the problem that is causing most of our illnesses. The Choice is Clear covered a great part of my investigations; I had already invested in a tabletop water distiller and was justifying to myself the outlying expense. I now only use distilled water in cooking as well as in drinks. It occurs to me that all water entering the house should at least go through a filter to reduce the harmful elements in it. I am convinced that distilled water is the only safe water for drinking and pure water goes a long way to making you feel more alive and in control of your well-being. We need to be aware of some of the bad habits we have adopted in our diet. I am currently looking at the benefits of vinegar in our daily diet. I would also recommend 'Vinegar nature's secret weapon by M. Stein.'
