Dr. Banik describes distilled water as the only water which is pure- the only water which is free from all impurities. Odorless, tasteless and colorless, distilled water contains no solid matter of any kind, no minerals organic and inorganic and is made solely of two gases hydrogen and oxygen. It can be used as a drinking water, for cooking, for electric irons and batteries, and is pure enough to be used for intravenous feeding, inhalation therapy, prescriptions and baby formulas. Inorganic minerals include carbonate and lime compounds, calcium, iron and magnesium. Since they are of a kind and quality which are incompatible with our cells, the cells reject these minerals, which leaves an accumulation of debris in our bodies.
