just a little above or WAY above? how much above?

BTW, I wish you a smooth ride and an early negative, and of course SVR.  Time to weaken the HCV hold in the community.

there was a tv show recently about filters and water quality and surprisingly enough Brita came on with flying colors, as long as the filter was changed as suggested. It clear the bacteria also. Charcoal is one of the best filtering elements out there.  They even sell the stuff in capsules to "cleanse" the intestinal system.  The same show tested the most expensive systems and they were not that superior to the Brita. I was surprised.
I personally would not drink "empty" water.
If God wanted us to drink distilled water, she would have given the cave man a way to do so when he discovered fire.

Good afternoon All,
                  Did look at this and I found that distilled water has no minerals,nutrients,or pollutants in it.Well when drank it has the ability to draw harmful toxins,along with the good minera;l and nutrients and disperse them from the body.Thus it flushes us out what is good along with the bad stuff.
                I'm no doc. or nutritionalist,but it's probably good to drink as long as I don't try to go on some kind of lengthy fast.Not eating well,drinking it might deplete good nutrients in my body and cause eletro-lite levels to drop, which could cause heart papiltations.

                 Stuties show we get most of dailey nutrient thru food,so like I said it's probably good to drink along as we eat good.

My thoughts thru some research,

Thanks hon, I hope so too. It's true what somebody said a while back that we can't blame HepC for everything...sometimes there's other stuff going on at the same time...I never could figure out why I felt so lousy when I supposedly had no liver damage...makes sense to me now! Oh well...time will tell...

Yeah, I think it is a mid life crisis thing too.  I know our friend is in his mid 40's.  Said American women were just too independent. I wanted to say what you can't keep them on a leash.  I know this is one cajun that is very independent and would not put up with that, at all.

I grew up on well water; my parents just did get hooked up to city a few years ago.  They still use the well for the garden.  But, never a salamander. Yuk!  

And, the thing about the Russian Girl he bought, I can relate.  My husband has this friend that goes to Russia and brings the girl back.  If it works out she stays; if not she goes. He has yet to marry one though.  I asked why he went to Russia for the women; his reply was, young and wild and he has control, they do not speak much English and have to rely on him.  Go Figure.  I think he is nuts myself.
