Appalachia’s Storyteller: Appalachian Miracle Water (The True Story of Houstons Mineral Water)

[@tracicomstock6525]

I love this story and I believe God sent an angel to tell Bill about the well. And Bill had the right spirit about it and helped others. Thank you.

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

yes sir, its a great story of faith

[@AmericanGal_69]

Well ima have to ride on over to New Market and see about some of that miracle water. Learning this amazing Appalachian history is just too familiar! Blessings from The Lakeside of the Smokies #Dandridge

[@marymcsherry1965]

An angel saved me from a serious car accident by telling me urgently in a clear voice to slow down, just before a joyrider shot out at speed in front of me. It left me wondering and so grateful

[@Fortis_Bellator]

This is a great story! I believe, the Good Lord gave natural resources to use for all that ails us. Both plants and water!

Yes w we went up Rd to Houstons to try it after a week we wouldn't drink anything else but Houstons

When my Daddy would go home to Hazard KY, he carried every jug we had. He filled them all from his sisters mountain well. Best tasting water you ever drank.

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

Wow, thanks for sharing that

[@ClintBoyer]

My Nana drank that water for as long as I can remember. She’s 94 now and has always been in great health. Best water I ever drank. I used to love going to her house and playing as a kid and she would always have us drink that water.

​@@TheAppalachianStorytellerI have the answer to this story at exactly 51/2 minutes innnnn....back then, doctors were dumber than a bag of hammers, giving a false diagnosis, it didn't matter what the knucklehead hillbilly did that seemed Krazy....he was safe out of the gate. But, I do love your stories being NOT about the paranormal. I'm highly intelligent and have common sense keep up the fantastic work, also I notice in your older videos you keep your draw down and only release your true voice/self after your success..therefore you smarter than me. Peace out pilgrim😮

Good afternoon, from the Foothills of the Ozarks of Arkansas. JD, you have a way of taking your listeners to that place and time in your narrations. Your words evoke every one of my senses. My Cherokee great-grandmother was from the Northern Kentucky part of the Appalachian mountains. 😊

There's a place not too far from here called Mineral Wells, Texas that has the same kind of story and history. There was a 18 story Hotel (the Baker Hotel) that is still standing and being renovated that has Doctors offices and treatment rooms in it. When we spent the night there in the late 1990's (a ghost hunting expedition) I observed tables set up for the colonic treatments and sauna contraptions that people would get into that allowed their heads to poke out the top while getting a sauna. There were all kinds of things there that in modern days looked like torture apparatuses. And the crazy thing is, the springs mineral water (called Crazy water) is still being bottled and sold today in grocery chains in north Texas. And you can also take water jugs and fill them up for a small fee. They have Crazy Water in various #'s, depending upon what kind of water you want. The water is extremely alkaline, which would be good for a cancer patient in my opinion, because research shows that cancer cannot thrive in an alkaline setting....so that is something to consider, just sayin'.

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

Crazy water- I like the name

[@JohnDavis-yz9nq]

Wow I live in Bowie Texas not too far from Mineral Wells and I did not know about the crazy water. I don’t remember seeing it in stores here. I will check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@kathyroberts2134]

Deep water wells where water has sat for a long time without pollution can be drank in extremely good for you. Rain water seeps down into the ground and filtered through rock and dirt. I'm glad that well has many good minerals in it which do help heal the body and provide good health to people. Hopefully people don't take advantage of the honor system and continue to take only what they need. Be sure to save some for the next person. Be kind and love each other. Love and kindness goes a long way and helps build friendships with people

If you have kidney, back pain or constipation it could be from drinking too much plain water. Try electrolyte drinks or mineral water. It sounds stupid but your bowel actually needs salt to absorb water. I found this our coz I'm type 2 diabetic and suffered from these pains.
