I'm thrilled to announce that the ‘Win a Free Distiller Sweepstakes' starts today. In Part 1 and Part 2 of Water Week I've explained why drinking distilled water is the best choice both for your bones and for your overall health.
What I didn't tell you, is that at home, all the water I drink and cook with comes from my Waterwise 8800 Countertop Distiller. I've done the research, and it's by far the best distiller on the market.
I only have to fill the stainless steel boiler with tap water, press the start button, and a few hours later, I have one gallon of the best tasting, purest, and fluoride-free water.
And today you have an opportunity to win the Waterwise 8800 Countertop Distiller, plus more great prizes… all valued at $510!
Here's How It Works
To enter, simply leave a comment below, along with your name and email. Feel free to write anything your heart desires :). Please leave your comment before Wednesday, September 12th, at 10:00pm ET.
My team and I will then randomly select one grand prize winner, and five runners-up. Stay tuned, because I will announce the winners on Thursday, September 13th. Best of luck!
- Grand Prize: One lucky winner will get the entire ‘Save Our Bones Exclusive Waterwise Package', which normally sells for $510.
- Runners-Up: Five lucky winners will receive the Waterwise BPA-Free Sports Bottle.
I really love being in control of my water with the Waterwise distiller, and I'm sure you will too!

Here's What You Can Win: The ‘Save Our Bones Exclusive Waterwise Package'
Waterwise® 8800 Countertop Distiller
You’ll love using the 8800. All you do is fill the stainless steel boiler with tap water, press the start button, and soon you’ll be enjoying the purest water possible. With the easy-to-use electronic monitor, you can program it before bed for that first cup of coffee or tea in the morning. After running a one-gallon cycle, keep the BPA-free carafe in the refrigerator for a chilled glass of pure refreshment—whenever you want. Fill trays for perfectly clear and pure icecubes. Even take the 8800 along on your next trip. The portable, programmable 8800 is ready when you are!
The Waterwise 8800 combines steam distillation with carbon post-filtration, resulting in optimum water purity. The electronic monitor with its multifunction LCD readout even alerts you when it’s time to change the filter!
Sells for: $399
Deluxe Showerwise® Shower Filtration System
You’ll enjoy softer skin, healthier scalp and shinier hair after a Showerwise shower. Why? Because chlorine, commonly used to disinfect tap water, can make your skin dry, sensitive, flaky and itchy. It irritates your eyes and makes your hair dry and unmanageable. Worse yet, chlorine and chlorine by-products aggravate symptoms for many asthma, allergy, sinus and emphysema sufferers.
You may be shocked to know that your body can absorb more chlorine in a 1-minute shower than from drinking 8 glasses of the same water. But you can relax… chlorine is reduced by 95% with Showerwise. Also reduced is iron, lead, mercury and hydrogen sulfide. Bacterial, fungal and mildew growth are effectively inhibited.
Showerwise’s patented KDF-55 and Chlorgon filter material performs best in warm or hot water, unlike ordinary carbon filters that are effective in cold only. And Showerwise contains 50% more material for a longer, more effective lifetime than most filters, typically lasting 12-18 months!
Sells for: $69
6-Pack Carbon Filter Bags – 1 Year Supply
Carbon filtration enhances taste and purity by adsorption, aeration and degasification. Replace every 2-months or after 60-80 gallons distilled, whichever comes first. One bag drops into the filter compartment of the carafe lid.
Sells for: $36
Waterwise® BPA-Free Sports Bottle
Waterwise BPA-Free bottles are lightweight, reuseable and ensure that every drop of distilled water stays pure. They’re extremely durable and simple to clean (just use peroxide and water or baking soda and water, then rinse).
Sells for: $6

Even though my area claims some of the best drinking water the inside of my kettle tells me another story
I really enjoy your information and feel lucky to have such informed and helpful information. My sisters and I have the ‘Save Our Bones’ book and we all enjoy it and refer to it. I also really like that other information that I have read compliments your information or vise versa. Thank you.

I am an asthmatic and over the years have gradually taken myself off all unnatural medication for more natural ways of coping and feel so much better for, unfornately the put fluoride in our water system, I do drink rainwater but would love to be able to purify the water so it is safe for my family to drink and stay healthy. I do not want my grandchildren or great grandchild to suffer through impure water.
Love the advice you give, it is extremely informative and helpful.
I love the articles/ information that you have out there. I share most of it with family and friends in hopes they can also benefit from all of the knowledge. Thanks for all that you do. sincerely, maurita
Not sure of the merits of distilled water as opposed to natural spring waters, but this sweepstakes will give me at least a tiny chance of finding out even if it’s less than the chance of finding snow in southern Florida.
“No matter how much water you drink, it’s never enough to keep you hydrated and feeling good unless it can reside inside your cells.”
-Dr. Murad
So to drink seven to eight glasses per day is without medical basis.
I was surprised that distilled water could help the bones and have started
drinking it. Thanks for all the great information from your website.
Thank you for all your invaluable information. I try to send it to friends but it is diffucult to copy and send. I wish you would put a “Print” option on your website.
Thank you so much,
Laura Chester

Your e-mails have really given me a greater insight into how our bodies work and the effect that it has on our bones. I have severe osteoporosis with several spinal compression fractures. I have taken several drugs in the past to “help” my condition, but have not taken anything since 2007. My medical doctors do not agree with this, but I am trying to cleanse my body from the inside out. I enjoy getting your e-mails.
I would love to receive this waterwise package. Since reading your last article about alkaline water which I have been using for years with no improvement in pH, still very acid. Thanks for your articles,
Betty Miles
I have been drinking bottled (gallon) distilled water for about 6 months now. I would love to be able to distill my own water. I appreciate your article about alkalized water because a person from my local health food store told me that it was better to drink alkalized water and sold me a bottle of alkalizing drops. I used them and wondered why I was getting heartburn after eating. Now I know the reason so I won’t be using them anymore. Thanks Vivian!
Thank You for all the info on water.The water should really be at its best with the Waterwise Distiller.
AAAAAAAH, The Whining, Winner Poet of The Save Our Bones Community I will be,
’cause I’ve chide my clients daily for 30 years: “Drink 1/2 your weight in ounces per
day of water to alkalize your bodies 1-2-3!”
Hi! For years I have been boiling my water for drinking. This was suggested by my gastroenterologist because of my ulcerative colitis. Others have commented on how “good” my water tastes, because there is no chlorine smell or taste. Your distiller would be so much easier to get “good” water. I have your Save Our Bones and find it easy to understand and use. Thank you for all your helpful information.
Finding your sight on google and learning how to SAVE MY BONES is one of the best things that has happened to me. I was on the verge of having the infusions every 3 months. The SAVE OUR BONES book and your e-mails taught me what a mistake that would be. Thank you so much for educationing all of us.
“educating”
Thank you, vivian.
You are very wise lady. Bone wise, water wise, and health wise.
I have learn a lot from your wise lifestyle.
I’m looking forward to learn more in the future.
Helen
Thank you so much for all the information and life changing insights for Womens’ health and safety. I appreciate all the tips and information you have given to us. Women should rejoice that you have blessed us with your knowledge. You are Fabulous!!! I was on the line for brittle bones and because of you my last tests showed a large improvement in the density of my bones. I can’t THANK YOU enough!!!
Thanks again,
Brenda
Many years ago, I came across a quotation that clarified–for me–the general health value of distilled water. I can no longer give the author credit for his wisdom because I do not remember his identity. Nevertheless, his offering went something like this: if you drink water for the value of its solvent properties–the principle reason for drinking water at all–then drink distilled water. Clean water is almost a universal solvent. On another hand, some critics of the distilled water proponents would have you drink water principly as a nutrient source. Then, they advise, you should select water for its natural inclusions which distilled water is purposely devoid of. But, inclusions, especially those of natural origin–cautiously speaking–are rather ranom and do not necessarily target your specific nutritional needs. Therefore, you would be better advised to start with distilled water anyway and lace it with the specific nutrients, in their recommended concentrations, that reflect your specific health needs.
I am a great fan of distilled water and how great it would be to be able to make it right on my own counter. I would love to have one. Thanks.
Our 90 yr. old family friend and his 88 yr. old wife (who are like second parents to us) recommended the Save Our Bones program to me when they found out I had osteopenia. On our recent visit to celebrate this special man’s birthday, we had the opportunity to stay at their home, where he and his wife make their own distilled water. I have to think that if they are any example of what distilled water can do for you, then count me in…and perhaps I’ll be lucky enough to win!
everithing is so nice.
It would be nice to win the distiller as sometimes my store does not have distilled water to buy, like for the past 3 weeks!
I would like to thank you and your team for going to all the trouble to research and write your articles on water. I found the information to be fascinating and appreciate the information. Where I live in Canada our water is very hard and heavily chlorinated so that we decided to purchase a water softener . . . this allows us to know have a shower without feeling like we just stepped out of the local swimming pool. But as I am learning a water softener is not necessarily the best overall answer. My husband is a big water drinker but does not like to drink our tap water even though it also goes through our refrigerator’s filter system. He says it still has an odd taste and although I drink it I must agree. . . it seems bitter to me. So he has resorted to drinking bottled water even though he has recently learned that it is not a well regulated industry. For many years my in-laws, who lived in Toronto, would always boil their drinking water even though the city had one of the best filtration systems. Maybe it is finally the time for my husband and I to look into getting our own water distiller particularly since I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis. Thank you again for your continued efforts in bring us such helpful information.

LINA, 64 yrs.old
I certainly like the sound of your distiller and I would feel very Blessed to own one .Thank you Vivian for all the wonderful information you give us . Margaret
I appreciate what Vivian has shared about the benefits of drinking distilled water and how beneficial it is to bone health. That was news to me.
I appreciate the research and support that is provided through the “Save Our Bones” program and e-mails. I am all for NATURAL methods of healing and living and so much of what touches our lives these days is “plastic, artificial and/or not true”. It can get discouraging. Many thanks to Vivian and the “Save Our Bones” community for the candid sharing and caring.
I have been receiving the newsletter for close to a year now, and am constantly impressed with the quality of information and the depth your research. Thanks so much for confirming over and over again what I “felt in my bones” was true – NOT to take the med prescribed to me by my doctor!!! (Actonel)I am glad I trusted my intuition, and even more glad I came across your information and assistance.
Sincerely,
Nancy Chisholm

I just love learning the ways to live a healthier life. Your articles on water were fascinating and so informative. Thank you! I would definitely love to purchase a water distiller for my family. Thank you for all the research you have done . Judi
Thank you for all your advices you are helping to all of us,thank you thank you thank you
I am blessed to have a friend who informed me about you and the enormous help you have done to people.My mother had a severe osteoporosis when she was alive.And unfortunately I inherited that from her.Thank you so much for your articles. I always share the information that I get from your articles.God bless you for the endless help & support you have given us.
I presently use a Brita water jug but would like the water I drink to be even purer. I would particularly love to win this wonderful prize as September 13th is my birthday! What a wonderful birthday present!!
Great service and information. Always looking forward to read your email
updates. Keep it up. Thank you.
I feel lucky 🙂
ive been looking at water filters, but this sounds even better…would love to try it out & spread the word around
I have been contemplating the purchase of a water distillation system for quite some time. At present, I am purchasing bottled spring water, but that is awkward and can become quite costly.
I hope that I win your countertop distiller. I will put it to good use.
I worry about the city water supply with the Cl- and Fl- and all the other things it has. Distilled water is the answer.
Distilled water. Ok, great! Anything to ‘Save the Bones’
I have a dream: That mankind will somehow, in some magical moment… come to a sudden collective
consensus and realize the tragic impact and devastating effects we have inflicted on our children, our pets,
wildlife, fish and fowl, creeks, rivers, streams, lakes, oceans – all of humanity and the entire planet with this outrageous practice of fluoridating our public water sources.
And, now, in our infinite wisdom, we (the U.S.) are now spreading this criminal practice to trusting third world countries – as if it is a gift! When it is more like an infectious disease.
My parents spent maybe half their lives drinking fluoridated water, me at 55, maybe 2/3’s, my children, all their
lives – it is this generation and their offspring that will truly pay the price of our stupidity with each subsequent generation growing sicker, weaker, plagued and stricken with ill-health.
No doctor, dentist, FDA, EPA… or anyone – will ever convince me that fluoride is not one of the main culprits for the tragic diseased-ridden country we have all become.
But, someday a collective awakening will happen. It is destined to happen. But, when?
Maybe in my time? Or do we just leave it to the next generation to get the ugly job done?
And, when that day comes, how will it be written down in the annals’ of history ? What possible explanation
can we ever give for one of mankind’s most idiotic, stupendous blunders?
But, more importantly, how will we say… “we are sorry, so sorry” to our children and grandchildren when they realize “we failed to simply protect them”?
I am delighted to get corroboration from you that distilled water is best, after frustrating arguments with friends who insist that mineral water is better than distilled. I have preferred to get my minerals from a supplement rather than a random assortment in bottled mineral water or whatever is left in water that is filtered, but I also didn’t know the hazards of inorganic minerals.
It is fascinating to get a focused discussion of the science, the effect of inorganic minerals, and the ways our bodies need and use pure water. It is also wonderful to get a recommendation that I feel I can trust about a product to distill tap water — plus a non-BPA container that can be used with it. Thanks for all the information.
How wonderful it sounds to own a distiller — so far I have been using the stores plastic gallon which can be less than desirable when weather is warm especially. Vivian, I own your SaveOur bones program and appreciate the help I get from your research. Thank you so kindly!
True knowledge gives us more freedom.
Pure water makes us healthier.
Thanks for your gift, Vivian.
Vivian, don’t no how to thank you for all the amazing articles about bone health. With you the sun is always shining and my bones will always thank you!
Thanks again
Kindest regards
Hannah
Thank you for the thorough research about water–never really think about the contents of a good glass of water!!
I drank distilled water for about a year and then stopped because of health articles reporting that without water’s mineral content a number of health issues,including cancer,could result. After reading your water articles, I am considering drinking distilled water again. Thanks for the information.
Vivian, I am so thankful for all that you have presented to help us protect our bones and our sanity. Your articles are well written and well documented and I am grateful to have found you!
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate your verifying and explaining how important distilled water is the for our body vs tap water,
I am a water drinker and have been for a long time. I always get laughed at when I am asked what I would like to drink? Water thanks!
Can you tell me if this Water Distiller is available in Australia.
I would love to win this distiller!
