I guess I should inform on how this experiment turned out. I wasn’t able to carry it out the three months that are apparently necessary to see results. The biggest problem I had was the dizziness that made me feel like I was passing out and jerks of the jaw and of the head when I was trying to sleep. At the same time, I had sides that I attributed to the iodine I had used around this time for a couple of days. I had taken it in water and I began to feel the muscles in my throat weren’t responding as they should when I was eating and drinking, and with this came the terrible feeling and anxiety of choking.
The dizziness and the throat problem eventually went away, but the jerks didn’t, until about a month ago when I decided to try ZMA one night I couldn’t sleep. To my surprise, the jerks immediately stopped. Then the next day I searched magnesium deficiency and found out these dizziness, jerks, throat and anxiety problems could be signs of magnesium deficiency.
So, I guess I can say my experiment with distilled water wasn’t conclusive.
