Water Purification Systems

Water purification systems have grown in popularity due to the rising cost of bottled water.

The need for cleaner and purer water, not to mention the need for home water purification systems was virtually unthinkable just 25 years ago. But much has changed in the past 25 years.

The public has become increasingly educated on the evils and hypocrisy of fluoridation as well as on the importance of clean water for our health.

In truth, clean, pure water is one of the most important things you can do to promote good health.

That is why I use personal water purification systems in our home.

Importance of Water

Fluoridation Facts

It may seem odd to include a page on home water purification systems on this site, but I contend that the cleanliness of our water is one of the most important aspects of good health.

We can live for days on no food, even go months, even years in extreme cases with very little good nourishment, but that is not true with water. Water is the most vital nutrient in the world. According to Jeffrey Utz., M.D., a full 55% to 60% of our body is water. According to one source:

"Water is essential nutrient that is involved in every function of the body. It helps transport nutrients and waste products in and out of cells. It is necessary for all digestive, absorption, circulatory, and excretory functions, as well as for the utilization of the water-soluble vitamins. It is also needed for the maintenance of proper body temperature."

Fluoride

While we only drink 1% of our water (most is used for laundry, washing, and irrigation), that 1% has come under attack naturally and through conniving, malicious profit-barons who care nothing for your health but only that they make money.

Yes, we're talking about fluoridation. While our water can become tainted naturally through cryptosporidium, giardia, and unnaturally by pesticides, chemicals, lead and even gasoline, fluoridation is one of the most clever lies ever forced on the American public. In Europe, fluoridation was stopped in many countries recently once its effects were understood. According to Herbal Legacy...

• Federal Republic of Germany (fluoride was introduced in 1952, stopped in 1971)
• Sweden (introduced 1952, stopped 1971)
• Netherlands (introduced 1953, stopped 1976)
• Czechoslovakia (introduced 1958, stopped 1988/90)
• German Democratic Republic (introduced 1959, stopped 1990 (Spremberg 1993) Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (introduced 1960, stopped 1990)
• Finland (introduced 1959, stopped 1993)
• Outside Europe: Japan (introduced 1952, stopped 1972)

According to that site, "The reason for these cessation's of water fluoridation was not a political one, but the consequence of scientific discussion of its effectiveness and side effects."

I don't doubt it. What about here in the US?

More and more cities are voting in favor of discontinuing the fluoridation of their water supplies. The following areas of the US, Canada, and even Australia have also discontinued fluoridation, voting its termination. You can see for yourself by clicking here.

While it's beyond the scope of this web page, perhaps it's a good time to explain why fluoridation is so bad. According to Dr. Harvey Diamond and his wife Marilyn in their book Fit for Life II, which you can get at Amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com or at your local library, fluoridation "represents the most flagrant kind of abuse against an innocent public by commercial big business interests." Let's quote from their book directly, editing for emphasis certain parts to show you how fluoridation came about and why. The "how" may surprise you.

"In 1945...the biggest aluminum manufacturing plant in the US realized that millions of pounds of aluminum were going to waste during processing. This waste was in the form of aluminum filing tailings, an extremely fine dust separated from the aluminum during processing. Company executives figured out that if they could sell this waste at even the minuscule price of one-and-a-half cents a pound, they would read a handsome $15 million each year...It was discovered that the water in Hereford, Texas, had a high content of calcium fluoride in its natural state...which seemed to assist in making teeth strong. So the aluminum trust decided arbitrarily to call the tailings dust 'sodium fluoride' and then sell all the cities in the US on adding it to their municipal water supplies. Public enthusiasm for a tooth decay preventative resulted in logic and reason being overshadowed by hasty, unsubstantiated tests and claims based on those inadequate tests. The powerful aluminum industry put its resources behind overriding opposition to their grand plan to make a profit on their problem child, highly toxic aluminum wastes. The argument promoting fluoridation was based on tests conducted in two cities in New York State, Kingston and Newburgh. The tests conducted there in the 1940s are still used today to justify fluoridation. The results, as reported by the aluminum trust were that 817 children tested in Newburgh, the fluoridated city, had 60 percent fewer cavities tan the 711 children tested and living in Kingston, the unfluoridated city.... The facts are these...what industry researchers did was take a fraction of the children from each city and check their teeth. They used children from Newburgh who did not have many dental problems and children from Kingston who did. That way it looked as if the fluoridated city had far superior results with fluoridated water. A preliminary survey by the United States Public Health Service showed that fluoridation was causing a lot more tooth decay than pure water...[Bottom line?] In four years, the record indicated that fluoridation caused 50% more tooth troubles than nonfluoridation."

That was how the myth of sodium fluoridation was started. It is nothing more than a lie, a scheme to sell you a known poison that's even used in rat poison. In fact, according to Dr. Dean Burke, former chief biochemist at the National Cancer Institute, more than 50,000 Americans a year are dying of cancer caused by fluoridated drinking water...We've now had time to look at fluoridation and see its effects on human health and we know it's a killer"

Any institution that supports fluoridation is guilty of mass murder." Dr. Burke, incidentally, used those words at a EPA hearing on June 18, 1985.

Chlorine

Let's talk briefly about chlorine. Did you know that chlorine is also added to your drinking water in many parts of the US? Just chlorine of itself is sufficient reason to consider home water purification systems. Listen to Dr. Diamond's comments on Chlorine,

"Chlorine combined with animal fats in the diet, results in a chemical union of the chlorine and fat into a sticky paste-like substance. This stuff adheres to arterial walls, thus causing atherosclerosis -- heart disease, the biggest killer in the country."

"Drinking tap water is a slow form of suicide, today's tap water is yesterday's toilet water, too thin to plow and too thick to drink. Chemicals (chlorine and fluorides) used to treat water are positive charged cationic electrolytes that are potentially destructive to the colloidal balance when ingested into the human system. As one result, people die........inch by inch, not really knowing what is wrong!"

So what can we do about it? Our options are bottled water and/or home water purification systems. In my opinion, everyone needs personal water purification systems. Don't let the term "system" make you think it needs to be difficult or expensive. It need not be. I drink bottled water occasionally but we are disturbed by reports that bottled water has no restrictions or governmental regulatory requirements on it! Nevertheless, bottled water sales exceeded $8.3 billion in 2003 alone and it's growing.

Bottled water isn't always pure. I assume that it is as the advertising says it is. FDA regulations only require bottled water to be as good as tap water! However, in a small study of 68 bottles of mineral water from Europe, there was contamination with bacteria and fungi, so says Rocus Klont, a researcher from the University Medical Center Nijmegen in Mijmegen, Netherlands. I mentioned the FDA.

Here is what they say regarding the purity of bottled water, "Companies that market bottled water as being safer than tap water are defrauding the American public." Are there any federal regulations regarding bottled water at all, you may ask? Yes, but there's a loophole which bottled water companies exploit: Unless the bottled water is transported across state lines, there are no federal regulations that govern its quality.

In a report in March 1999 by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) entitled Bottled Water, Pure Drink or Pure Hype?", this report says as much as 40% of all bottled water comes from city water systems -- just like tap water! The report also concludes that 60 to 70% of all bottled water is exempt from FDA requirements as it's bottled and sold within the same state.

If bottled water isn't cleaner, than where can one get clean water? I believe in home water purification systems. Personal water purification systems can clean all your water in your home, but they are expensive.

Home Water Purification Systems

Water Purification Systems Recommendation

After testing a number of home water purification systems, I decided upon one that I believe is the best on the market today. This company is based in Texas and is well-acclaimed for their products. It's not just our opinion. The well-respected Consumers Digest voted it "Best Buy" in 2003, 2004, and 2005.

This company's shower filter product was voted the Product of The Year by Cosmetology Today Magazine.

I also like this water purifying product company as they are very inexpensive compared to many other home water purification systems on the market.

Plus, they offer a lifetime warranty against defects or damage. In addition, their website also offers a lot of good information on the need for healthy water and why you should be aware of it.

FINAL WORD:
This Water Purification Systems web page is one of the longer pages found throughout this website.

Thank you for getting this far. When I first started researching and writing this page, I thought to myself, "Some may find it odd to find a web page dedicated to healthy water as this is a website about nutritional supplements."

Yet, I really believe that in many ways, this may be the most important web page we ever write. The importance of drinking clean, healthy water cannot be understated.

It is absolutely vital to good health and even life. Now you can perhaps see why we felt so strongly about adding this page to our site.

I hope this Water Purification Systems web page has been useful to you.

Yours in health,
