Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Purification: Is It Good For Your Health?
I have a kidney stone and because of that i installed a Reverse Osmosis 5 stage drinking water purification system at home. (The machine uses a DOW membrane for Reverse Osmosis process.)
I drink a lot of this water in the hope of not aggravating the stone and also in the hope of getting rid of the stone in the kidney. The doctor also advises me to drink a lot of water ( he did not suggest a RO filter though)
My question is this. Is it dangerous to drink this (heavily purified) water over an extended period? Will my body be stripped of the minerals I was getting somehow from the previous water?
Should I buy some expensive mineral water and drink to compensate for mineral loss? Should I take some oral rehyderation salts ocassionally?
