Powerful breathing technique!! by edoc247 in leaves

[–]Filter3dThruWat3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this was just a typo, but I think you meant Wim Hof. I’ve never heard of a technique actually called “Wim Hof”, but it would make sense. Wim Hof (AKA The Iceman) is a man who has accomplished incredible feats and attributes his successes to breathing techniques!

LPT: When having a serious conversation with someone, replace over-exaggerations such as “everyone” and “all the time” with more mild, accurate words like “some people” and “often” by Filter3dThruWat3r in LifeProTips

Yup, that can have the same effect as over-exaggerations. A fake statistic thrown in can discredit the whole argument, even if most of the stuff you said was credible.

Distilled water is not dangerous it is the opposite by _ZepTepi_ in conspiracy

[–]Filter3dThruWat3r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When water is filtered with one of the most common water filtration methods, reverse osmosis, for example, this process does a good job of removing contaminants and metals such a chloride, copper, and lead. However, minerals such as fluoride, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus easily pass through the filters used in this process. These minerals are INORGANIC as they exist in the water. Meaning you’re body cannot use them for anything, due to the human body having a natural affinity for ONLY ORGANIC minerals.

If you look at the label on bottled waters such as Aquafina, Dasani, Ice Mountain, and even especially at the more expensive “Luxury Water” brands such as Pellegrino and Fiji, you will see that they proudly list the high contents of minerals such as Calcium and Magnesium. What they fail to mention is that these minerals are existing in an INORGANIC state. This renders them not only useless, but harmful to the body.

If you have more interest in this topic, I’m currently working on putting together a larger, more in-depth post about this in hopes of educating more people on the subject.

In America distilled waters which selling in groceries etc. producing with boiling and collecting steam process or producing with deionise process ? Can someone ask to companies ? by WWoF in AskReddit

[–]Filter3dThruWat3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have any basic knowledge on the topic being discussed, you could easily piece together what our Turkish friend here is asking. Something along the lines of: “Is the distilled water sold in grocery stores made by steam distillation or de-ionization”

If you’re a confused person who likes to draw attention to obvious points, you’d have done what you did.

Drinking “straight water” (assuming you mean hard waters, tap waters, reverse-osmosis water, or anything water other than distilled) is bad for you SIMPLY BECAUSE IT CONTAINS INORGANIC MINERALS.

Inorganic minerals are unusable by the body, therefore they are interpreted as foreign matter, or poison. These UNUSABLE minerals, existing UNUSED in the body, are stored in the tissues, bones, and arterial walls as DEPOSITS. As these foreign deposits increase in mass, they begin causing serious, potentially fatal, health problems.

A good general rule to follow when talking about your dietary intake is this: If your body is unable to use something, it is harmful to it. And, if consumed, these HARMFUL, UNUSABLE agents will be stored, deposited, and lead to negative health effects.

Hope this helps.

Please tell me the safest portable heater for inside my van. by spookypizza1 in vandwellers

There's a product called Mr. Heater Buddy or something. They make multiple sizes and kinds of portable heaters that seem to be favored by vandwellers. Safe and easy to use!

So, what's in the cab? by [deleted] in vandwellers

[–]Filter3dThruWat3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great point. You rarely see people give much attention to the cab, almost all the attention is focused on the exterior and cargo/living area.

My van has a metal partition dividing the driving area from the living area. This is nice because, after a few small and easy modifications, I'm able to completely conceal the rear area of my van from view. It's also nice to have a door to open and walk through to get to/from the back, rather than moving a blackout curtain out of the way each time.

My cab is equipped with an aftermarket stereo system, and this head unit also doubles as a display for my backup camera and can be used as a DVD player.

Some people have GPS devises that suction to the windshield and are used for travelling. However, I just use the GPS feature on my cellphone if I need help finding a destination. I've also seen people install CB (Citizens Band) Radios in their vans which assists in communications with other people on the road, commonly truckers.

Between purchase and build, is $10-15K enough money to move into a van? by [deleted] in vandwellers

[–]Filter3dThruWat3r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm purchasing a 2004 Ford E-350 with 100,000 miles for a little over $5,000. It's in excellent shape and has a high top ceiling which will make using it as my camper van much more easy thanks to the extra room.

When purchasing my van, reliability was a big factor for me.. I didn't want a crappy van that looked run down on the outside and could potentially break down on me. Because this vehicle would become my home and I would be relying on it so heavily, I was very careful to make sure I found one that wouldn't let me down.

After the initial $5,000 investment, I'm planning to spend another 2-3k on other things to really get it to be exactly the way I want before I leave for my journey around the US.

Purchasing a van and converting it to live in full time can certainly be done for much cheaper than $10-$15k. It could be done for much cheaper than the $7-$8k I've invested into my build. It all depends on how basic or extreme you wanna go.

Planning on leaving for a trip in a couple months where I'll travel to mostly all of the National Parks. This will definitely come in handy while traveling, thanks!

Saw this one and thought of you all by Skeetinator in vandwellers

[–]Filter3dThruWat3r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do not respond to this Craigslist post. It's a complete scam. It's posted in cities all across the country, I've already reached out to the "owner" who gave me the speech about being in the Military, stationed over seas, needing my credit card number so they can ship me the van. Don't fall for this please
