One More Negative Health Effect of Drinking Chlorinated Water: Food Allergies
drinking chlorine and its byproducts or pesticides will kill the beneficial bacteria . Bacteria in the digestive tract aid in digesting food. It stands to reason then that if they are harmed by drinking pesticides or chlorinated water then your body will be less efficient at digestion. This is just one more indictment of the dangers of chlorinated water. While chlorine is an important tool in the disinfection of water to eliminate disease, it is beneficial to consumers to remove the chlorine from water at your home. It can be removed using a simple point of use device like my awesome Kitchen Defender water filter.
Dr. Oz Makes a Bad Call on Neti Pot Use
Neti pots have been in use since ancient times as a means to cleanse the sinuses. Recently Dr. Mehment Oz recommended the use of Neti Pots and what Dr. Oz recommends huge numbers of people act on. It turns out though that there’s a brain eating amoeba in some drinking water supplies that are harmless unless you put them up your nose. You may become infected while swimming or drinking unfiltered spring water, though you have to somehow get the latter up your nose. Two people in Louisiana recently died. Using a Neti pot with infected water is suspected as the cause. To safely use your Neti pot, you should first kill any bacteria or amoebas that may be present in your water by first boiling that water unless you are using a kitchen water filter with UV light.

Radon In Well Water – The Most Effective Way to Remove Radon from Well Water
Some scientists suggest that ‘no level of radon is safe’ and radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Yet it is invisible and may be present without your knowledge. If you have well water it is possible to have radon in your water. The danger from waterborne radon is inhaling it in the shower or while standing at your kitchen sink. The most effective means of removing radon from your water is to use an aeration system. This system will agitate the water to remove the gas and vent it outside before the water enters your home. Another possible danger associated with radon is the accumulation of radon in carbon filters in your kitchen.

SpringHouse by EcoQuest – repair issues
At one time I was the top seller of the SpringHouse whole house water purification system, a product I like and fuly believe in. Long before EcoQuest sold to Vollara and SpringHouse was dropped from the product mix, it became quite evident that the company had lost interest in the product. I continue to provide filters for customers of mine who own the SpringHouse. UV bulbs, quartz sleeves, and ballasts may no longer be available. One problem that seemed to plague some owners of SpringHouse was the issue of canister failure. Continue reading
A Test Of City Water Finds Two Violations
City water reports provide both the average value of a contaminant and the range including the highs and lows. A customer of mine who is trying to regain her health recently asked me to test her city’s water. I normally rely on city water reports but she wanted some insight into the water at her faucet. USEPA regulates the level of contaminants that public agencies are allowed to provide to their customers. But what most people don’t realize is that these agencies can exceed the standards from time to time as long as the annual average remains within the limits set by EPA. All city water will contain some form of chlorine and its carcinogenic byproducts. For this reason I recommend that every home have a water filter, but which filter you need depends on what’s in your water.
What Are The Minerals In Water?
The minerals in water will vary due to the make up of the local rock and soils where the water resides before it emerges as surface water. Even rain and snow melt will pick up minerals from surrounding earth as it flows downstream. Every water source is different due to this fact. This article discusses the most common minerals in water. Continue reading
Avoid Atrazine In Water
Atrazine, an herbicide commonly used on row crops, is another one of those contaminants that is dangerous at the lowest of levels. A frog that is born in water containing only 1 ppb of atrazine will develop both male and female sex organs. I suggest that you avoid atrazine altogether. Continue reading
The Benefits of a Raw Juice Cleanse
I always figured nature provides perfectly balanced food, including the important fiber which we lose through juicing. My research proved to me that there are some big benefits to a short juice fast for an already healthy person and even greater benefits of juicing for someone who is not in great health.
