Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Pat, I got simply a pitcher, because filter will catch germs and I like the fact that keeping pitcher and filter in refrigerator holds down the growth of those bacteria, whereas one at room temperature won't. Perhaps if you use the room temperature one once a day to fill up bottles of water to store in refrig and let the filter dry out throughly between useage, that would keep down bacteria or fungal growth, but if it's used alot and basically stays wet, I think that is a good place to breed germs. Just like they say a dish cloth is the best place to find germs in the house because it's always damp. Are filters inexpensive enough to change very frequently, may be another question. For this reason, I just use the Brita pitcher water filter and use that water for cooking and drinking. > > I'd like to get a water filter either for my house (has well water) or > a tabletop.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Thanks. Those won't remove flouride though. I've seen some that use something called " alumina " that seems to be oddly enough derived from aluminum, which is also the source for flouride. I've tried to get specifics from dealers, but they don't seem to know enough to tell me about it. Another brand, called the " wellness shower filter " says it can transform the chemical structure of the flouride to a harmless form that your body will excrete. I don't get the science of it at all and am wondering if this makes sense or is one more half-___sed claim? Here is a quote that makes the claim: " This unique purification system will remove the trace radioactive and heavy metal contaminates contained in the hydrofluorosilicic acid. fluoride, it reacts with hydrofluorosilicic acid to produce calcium fluoride - a naturally occurring form of fluoride found in mineral springs. Unlike the other forms of fluoride, calcium fluoride is non-toxic, is not retained in the body and is completely excreted in the urine. The Wellness shower filter does not remove fluoride but changes its structure so it can be easily removed from your body. " Thanks, Sam You can get shower faucet filters. I got one at Home Depot.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I believe it flouride is widely used in many parts of the country altho there are exceptions. I know too that there is one town in NJ that uses h2o2 instead of chlorine. But I don't know if they use flouride. But that is a hopeful step. I might be wrong but I think flouride is outlawed in other countries. Amazing that the government has been so worried about our teeth all these years so as to force this on us. They really care... not. --- On Sat, 7/11/09, barb1283 <barb1283@...> wrote Is there flouride is all tap water now, or is it different from county or state to state?

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Sam, I'm glad you quoted the claim because it contains an important piece of information about flouride: " " ...will remove the trace radioactive and heavy metal contaminates contained in the hydrofluorosilicic acid. " Flouride is not the same a hydroflourosilicic acid. Flouride is an element. Hydroclourosilicic acid is a complex chemical which has flouride in it. Also, the reason it is important to remove " trace radioactive andheavy metal contaminantes " is because where much of the hydrofluorosilicic acid comes from: Smoke stack scrubbers. I suggest you Google hydrofluorosilicic acid and see what is known, including a defense of its use at: http://www.solvaychemicals.us/static/wma/pdf/5/1/4/9/HFS.pdf But be aware they are talking about pure fluorosilicic acid, not the " impurities " from the smokestacks. Also Google " hydrofluorosilicic acid + scrubbers " And we wonder why more people are getting sicker with more " unusual " illnesses. Carl Grimes Healthy Habitats LLC ----- > > > > Thanks.

Pardon my skepticism, but I've long ago dropped the idea that anyone is protecting our interests, so I wonder who is on the " don't drink the bottled water campaign " ? Which also is same question as who cares that people get flouride to protect our teeth? I can never find a satisfactory answer to what is healthy water. Water is the great solvent and will absorb whatever it is around. > > Sam, > > I'm glad you quoted the claim because it contains an important > piece of information about flouride: " " ...will remove the trace > radioactive and heavy metal contaminates contained in the > hydrofluorosilicic acid.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Yes, but having everything distilled out, whatever container you put it in, it will absorb from that, because water hates to be 'alone'. The more devoid it is of 'stuff', the more absorbent it is. If you can distill into a glass container, then you MUST put minerals back in. Otherwise it will take minerals out of your body. That's why in reverse osmosis filters attached to sinks, the tube that carries the water from filter to faucet is plastic, because it will dissolve a metal pipe. Maybe the only thing it will dissolve in metal then, since plastic works? (Well, we know it does absorb plastic from plastic bottles it is stored in, but perhaps it has a greater afinity for metal?) > > You can also use water distillation, it has been around for some time. > > http://www.fluoridealert.org/faqs.htm#A5 > > Dragonfly ...

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Mayleen, Don't forget about the prescription drugs in our water supplies, both from the drug companies dumping them into their waste water and from people using the drugs with traces in their body waste which enters the sewer system but aren't removed by the treatment plants. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp- dyn/content/discussion/2008/03/10/DI2008031002217.html Many other stories including how fish and frogs are being born deformed by simple Google searches. As for filters removing only some things and different filters removing only parts of others, charcoal reduces much of the heavy metals such as lead but without a guarantee of removal. Charcoal removes low level solvents and some other chemicals but not flouride or pharmaceuticals. Any mechanical sieve with a pore size at 0.5 microns or smaller will remove bacteria such as e-coli. Charcoal will not remove minerals. Distillation will and so will reverse osmosis (RO). But RO doesn't remove chemicals, including chlorine, so charcoal is needed. Once the chlorine is removed (by charcoal) then the water is again susceptible to bacteria. It needs to be immediately used or filtered with a 0.5 micron sieve or subjected to UV light. Shower filters present a different problem. Charcoal removes the chlorine and trihalomethanes but only if the water is cold. So a hot shower can release them right into the air where you are breathing as you shower. As will running the hot water until it is hot and then moderating it with the cold water. Techniques other than charcoal claim to have solved this problem but I've seen only claims and no independent verification. Perhaps some of you have seen that. As you say, Mayleen, " Now more than ever we must inform ourselves. Read from various places and come to our own conclusions on what we feel is safer for us. " Exactly! And that is the power of groups such as this. We share information and experiences so others can consider whether or not is will work for them.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Thanks Carl, It is so hard to get things removed when other things continue to be added or dumped in our water supply. Once again I agree with you, Did you know the EPA wants to amend the Clean Water Act to allow raw sewage? In a study done in Germany the found 5 or 6 different articial sweetners stil in the water that was not being removed. So many things to contend with. I have to have filtered air and water to live now. Then their are the shampoo's, detergents, soaps, conditioners, so many things going into the water that is not removed, I put GSE in my filtered water and I add it to liquid soap in shower and kitchen, to my laudry rinse, and other uses. I cannot afford an infection so try my best within my means to do what I can to keep us alive literally. So I read a lot and find simple inexpensive solutions to the dilemas even that gets expensive. When it got really bad ($$) we went without and a lot of prayers. Detox is also a means. Help improve the body burden overload. I have seen the frogs and fish, so sad because this will be us unless someone does something to improve water quality. I ate an orange once when this started and passed out until the next day. Pesticides or fertilizers in our foods. You can see how really sensitive I am. There are also new systems out there like water alkalizers, Here is another system.... I am sure you are familiar http://www.healingcancernaturally.com/alkaline-ionized-water-machine.html What is your opinion about a good system for all these issues ?

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Thanks Barb, That is a concern for as as far as distilling for sure. As most distillers I've seen are made of stainless inside and often they seem to be a bit rough to the touch inside as if it wouldn't take much to leech. Even the better ones that are quite smooth are concerning as above all nickel is quite toxic and that'sa large component of stainless steel. Is there a distiller that comes in a glass container? I wonder if the water ph is higher though if that would minimize leeching from r/o or distilling? Also, r/o and distilling radically lower ph levels. Sam Yes, but having everything distilled out, whatever container you put it in, it will absorb from that, because water hates to be 'alone'.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Sam, I don't know enough chemistry to answer your question. Water softening works by replacing the calcium with sodium. Some of the magnet companies used to claim the magnetic field has a similar result. Some seemed to help but there was no real objective evidence. Maybe someone else on the list has the answer.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Here is the actual breakdown of one of the types of commonly used SS. The nickel content there is almost double that of regular SS. And this grade is very standard in caustic processess. This grade is also used in implants. Biff Byrum Type Analysis of Stainless Type 316: Carbon 0.08% max. Silicon 1.00% max. Manganese 2.00% max. Chromium 16.00-18.00% Phosphorus 0.045% max. Nickel 10.00-14.00% Sulfur 0.030% max.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I don't know. Getting healthy water has been something I haven't figured out. I think perhaps put right into glass after distillation, or right into glass reverse osmosis water. Reverse Osmosis takes out minerals too, right? Does anyone know? I think it does. I know I can buy reverse osmosis water at Whole Foods and they suggest putting trace minerals in it, so guess they are saying it is without minerals or at least low in mineral content. Rough insides of distiller you mention, might be due to it having been leeches already by distilled water. > > Thanks Barb, > > That is a concern for as as far as distilling for sure.
