I've been in the alternative medicine field
for over 30 years and I love to watch trends!
One of the latest trend is to do away with
water bottles because the plastic bottles
don't decompose in a timely manner (meaning,
in less than a century). Therefore, so the
media says, we should go back to drinking
tap water, which has been perfectly safe
all along!
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for saving the
planet! I believe strongly that we need to
take active daily steps as individuals to
reduce the poisons.
However, this should not come at the expense
of our health!
There's a few reasons that bottled water
became so popular over the years. One
that I was personally involved in was
the Cryptosporidium issue.
In Milwaukee,Wisconsin in 1993 the tiny parasite
wasn't caught by the antiquated water
treatment system and thousands of people's
intestines were invaded. For some, who's immune
system was weak, it meant death. Diarrhea,
nausea, fever, cramps were a few of the
symptoms people had to deal with over the
next several weeks.
Other than the water treatment plants
effectiveness, what about the water
that's sitting in pipes that are
sodered with lead? The lead has been
proven to leach into the water and
children especially have been noted
to have high levels of lead!
Well, that's just a couple of scenarios.
I can go on and on all day about why
bottles water is generally better than
tap water.
However, which bottled water is best??
So after years and years of trying to
decide which water bottling company
to support, I've decided to use an
in house water purifier.
This is much more convenient and cost
effective.
I don't have to feel guilty about buying
water from plastic bottles anymore!
Right now, I jsut get refills from the
local Health Food Store which uses a
carbon, UV, reverse osmosis filter.
I refill glass gallon size jugs to
save even more on plastic.
In the next few months I'm looking into
water purifiers that use RO, UV, as
a minimum. Let me know what you find
and 'll share my finds as we move
along on this water journey!
Great health always!
