Most health experts now agree that Ionized Water is probably the best form of drinking water. This is why.
What's Wrong With Tap Water?
Water
is the universal solvent. This is a double edged sword - on the one
hand it can disolve and remove the toxins from our body, but it can
also collect all kinds of toxins on its way to our tap as a result of
industrial pollution. Dangerous pollutants such as toxic metals like
lead and mercury, pesticides, industrial solvents, arsenic, nitrate and
estrogen mimics (endocrine disrupters) are entering our water supplies.
Hundreds of toxins have
been detected in our drinking water. The water authorities can not
remove all these as it would be far too expensive. There is not a water
system in the world that has the time, manpower, money or capability to
check for all the dangerous pollutants now being found in our water
supplies. It would be an impossible task.
Water
authorities also deliberately add poisons to the water to kill germs
and allegedly to protect children's teeth! Fluoride is a toxic by
product that was used by the Nazis in the concentration camps because
it made the inmates obedient and docile.
Most
drinking water is chlorinated. It has been known for over 25 years now
that chlorine has direct links to some very serious health problems.
Chlorinated water contains cancer-causing compounds called
trihalomethanes. Studies by the National Cancer Institute have shown
that drinking chlorinated water can double your risk of developing
bladder cancer and have linked it to increased rates of colon, rectal
cancer and heart disease. Water treated with chlorine also destroys
vitamin E stores in the body, leading to mitral valve problems and
other heart problems.
With
the level of toxins in our drinking water, I think that it is essential
to install a water purifcation system that purifies our drinking water
at point of use. Remember, a water ionizer does much more then just
remove the toxins present in drinkning water.
Why not Bottled Mineral Water?
- 1. As
it's kept in plastic bottles for long periods, some of the harmful,
carinogenic substances in plastic get into the water.
- 2. Studies
have shown that many mineral water bottles contain more comtaminants
then tap water.
- 3. The tons of plastic bottles that are manuactured and dumped add to the global environmental pollution. Plastic bottles are not Bio-degradable.
It's best to get mineral water in glass bottles or
purify the water at point of use which woud be much cheaper when you
use lots of it.
What's wrong with Distilled and Reverse Osmosis Water?
Distilled
water can be used to top up car batteries, but it's no good for
drinking water because it lacks the minerals we need, and can cause the
leaching of minerals from the body. Fish cannot live in distilled
water.
Reverse Osmosis is what Sang Whang called a 'Defensive Overkill' - in trying to protect yourself, you could end up killing yourself!
What's wrong with charcoal filtered water?
I
had been drinking charcoal filtered water for some 12 years, and I
changed to alkaline water a couple of years ago when I read about it in
an article by the author Daniel Reid. I would say that if you don't
have a water ionizer, this would be your best bet.
However, once you try
alkaine water water you'll never go back!
A couple of points to bear in
mind are:
- You need a good 1 micron, multi-phase filter, and you must change the filter regularly
- Almost all charcoal filters acidify the water (check it's pH)
Water
filteration is a small, minor part of what a Water Ionizer does;
however, the Bio-stone filters that come with the latest Royal Water
ionizers are probably as good if not better then any other charcoal
filter in the market.
Bio-stone filters are:
- 1 micron, multi-phase, hollow fibre, activated charcoal filters
- Have a layer of Coral Calcium
- Have a layer of Tourmaline Ceramic
- The running/replacement cost is significantly less then any other filter.
