Water: Gotta Be Really Careful + FREE Seminar Tomorrow!

This comes from water treatment guys. The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, 700 Moreno Avenue, La Verne, CA 91750, USA.

In this study, this plea about water, they say the the very act of disinfecting water, makes toxic by-products that are even worse than the regulated ones they are disinfecting.

This makes a huge case for shower filters. At the very least.

But we also get lots of water exposure in the air inside our homes, from dish washers and clothes washing machines. This water aerosolizes. We breathe in the water by-products.

As I travel the country, often water tastes so badly, at the fountain at a gym or in a glass at a hotel, I can’t even drink it.

Take water seriously.

We go to the trouble to get organic foods, exercise, but water makes up most of our tissues.

The water coming out of most faucets and even aerosolizing in your bathroom in the morning, may be more cancer causing than lots of other items.

The name of this study is: The formation and control of emerging disinfection by-products of health concern.

Abstract

When drinking water treatment plants disinfect water, a wide range of disinfection by-products (DBPs) of health and regulatory concern are formed.

Recent studies have identified emerging DBPs (e.g. iodinated trihalomethanes (THMs) and acids, haloacetonitriles, halonitromethanes (HNMs), haloacetaldehydes, nitrosamines) that may be more toxic than some of the regulated ones (e.g. chlorine- and bromine-containing THMs and haloacetic acids).

They are cancer-causing, as I wrote in Hormone Deception.

Some of these emerging DBPs are associated with impaired drinking water supplies (e.g. impacted by treated wastewater, algae, iodide).

In some cases, alternative primary or secondary disinfectants to chlorine (e.g. chloramines, chlorine dioxide, ozone, ultraviolet) that minimize the formation of some of the regulated DBPs may increase the formation of some of the emerging by-products.

Also, water treatment plants do not remove many endocrine disrupting compounds. Especially by-products of birth control pills, hormone pills, and diverse pharmaceuticals.

Water.

As fresh as you can get it.

I like Berkey Water Filter Systems as they have not raised their prices for years and they remove most bad stuff.

Even if you live in an apartment, you can put on water filters in the shower.

Replace shower filters every 6 months.

Or have whole house filtration. But reverse osmosis removes minerals and you must replace these regularly.

Minerals protect us against heavy metals.

The more minerals in our bodies, the less heavy metals can dock and cause trouble.

The more minerals, the more stable our hearts beat.

The more minerals, the more enzymatic processes flow.

Iodine is a special mineral that helps rinse many nasty compounds out of the body.

Iodine helps keep many glandular tissues behaving safer and more optimally (breast, thyroid, uterus, prostate, pancreas, and even lymph flow).

I take iodine to make sure all my hormones dock and signal optimally but to also help rinse out many toxins that gain entry here and there.

That is why my two new products, Receptor Detox and Hormone Balance and Protect have together 3 mg of iodine when two of each are taken each day.

This is a good baseline if you don’t have any pathologies where you might need higher iodine supplementation and to take these products more often.

I am giving a FREE lunch time talk, geared for practitioners but open to all who sign up.

Tomorrow. Wednesday noon central. About these products.

Focusing on detox.

And more!

You must sign-up to attend, but it’s FREE.
