Natural Resource Defense Council statistics show that more than 2 million Americans per year get sick as a direct result of drinking contaminated water. 700,000 of those require hospitalization.

A Fox News report states that over the past 20 years, at least 271 million pounds of pharmaceuticals have been released into U.S. waterways. Because the EPA tracking system used is limited, the AP describes that number as “a massive undercount”. Fluoxetin, for instance, (the active ingredient in Prozac) was found in the tissue of fish near Dallas, Texas, and in community water supplies in the U.K. The suspected source in both cases was urine to the water treatment plant then to open waters and eventually returning to the drinking water supply.

This used Prozac was “most likely highly diluted”. Ain’t that a comfort!

Amazing what kind of residual after life some of those chemicals have! Got Prozac? Are you inadvertently drinking someone else’s used meds along with your herbicides and pesticides?

Municipal water supplies are required to maintain an alkaline pH balance. Cost effectively this can be accomplished by adding lye or ortho poly phosphate corrosion inhibitors (they paste a film on the city pipes to prevent corrosion by acidic waters).

Bacteria in your municipal water supply can be eliminated cost effectively by pouring in bleach. Isn’t chlorine a bleach?

After our long search for quality, natural, organic, healthy foods and drinks and supplements, and devices that can protect us from our harmful environment… we have shared our good findings with as many people as possible. It’s crucial for your bipolar health and for the daily relationships with family and friends that you manage the ill effects of your environment.

Recently someone presented us a very enlightening education on healthy and unhealthy water. You who drink water will never look at it the same way again if you’ll take the time to receive this education… Diseases and disorders thrive in acidic environments and most Americans are highly acidic. Most of us have diseases.

We are still learning about alkaline mineral water ionizers ourselves and the more we learn, the better we like it. We are GLAD to share with you.

Further your education about your tap water, bottled water, ionized alkaline water, well water, city water, reversed osmosis, healthy and not-so-healthy waters!
