Before you close the subject down, I'll submit my two cents worth.

For the best water to use when making my CT? If i could get it, I would use
"glacial milk" - the milky looking water that comes out from under glaciers.
Beside providing excellent healthy drinking water, this water is used to
irrigate and provide essential nutrients for the crops grown by the Hunzas
in Northern Pakistan. As you would know glaciers slowly grind down the
rocks - hence the milky appearance. I reckon this water gave me heaps of
energy to trek up in the mountains near the Chinese border for a week. BUT I
can't get this water so I reckon by adding basalt talc dust to my brew I
might be getting somewhere near it.

According to Victor Schauberger in the book "Living Energies" by Callum
Coates ( a book I strongly recommend to a few in this group), the best water
to drink comes from "true spring water" because it is high in dissolved
carbons and minerals. I quote "Its high state of health and vitality is
affirmed by its shimmering, vibrant bluish colour, which is not evident in
inferior water" (Page 114).

Re Biodynamics and energised water - my knowledge and experience is limited
but I have been to a seminar and chatted with the "experts". To treat two
acres, 15 grams of  "Horn Manure Preparation (500)"  is dissolved and
energised  in 5 gallons  of water by stirring for an hour. To stir this
according to principles laid down by Steiner, you stir in one direction
until you create a vortex and then stop and stir in the opposite direction.
Large-scale farmers use mechanical stirrers or flowforms.
To treat the area, late afternoon, begin on the outside circle slowly into
the centre, spreading droplets of the solution with a brush made with
natural hairs. Alot of voodoo? Alot of farmers are using a similar method to
bring life back into their soils.

Horn manure = sloppy fresh cow manure (from organically grown cows) is
stuffed into horns, buried a yard deep in late March (in the southern
Hemisphere) and dug up 6 months later. BD 500 has been tested at Elaine's
Lismore Lab. and has the highest microbe totals I've ever seen.

Hope this helps
