Sometimes I get store brand (usually Publix if you are familiar with that chain) " drinking water " . Are this sufficient or should I be buying something else? I am going to the store today to stock up so this is why I'm asking! ==>Look for water that does not contain flouride. Spring Water will be better because a number of other waters available use tap water. Reverse osmosis water is good too (the process removes flouride, chlorine and all pathogens), but it is devoid of minerals so either you add minerals to the water or ensure everyone in the family is taking adequate amounts of ocean sea salt.

And sometimes I just feel that maybe the bottled water I am > buying at the store " reverse osmosis " could very well have bacteria in > it.. I'm not Bee, but I wanted to comment on this. Last year, my husband and I invested in a reverse osmosis system for the house. We don't have a water softener (because we rent). You have to remember though that the water softener isn't for your drinking water; it's to protect the life of appliances and plumbing when you have hard water. You have to have a reverse osmosis set-up to take the salt out of the water for drinking anyway, so you can't have the water softener without one (although you can have the reverse osmosis without the water softener, and the quality of your drinking water isn't any different.) The bottled water that you purchase in stores is often reverse osmosis filtered (just like mine at home), and they bottle in such a way that you don't have to worry about bacteria. The thing with reverse osmosis water that you have to keep in mind though is that it's removing all the minerals (as well as the other stuff), and so you have to add those back somehow (whether it's through concentrace or adequate sea salt intake.) I LOVE having a reverse osmosis filter at home for my drinking water. It cost about $170 initially, and the filters cost about $30/yr, but that way, I don't have to pay for expensive water delivery (or I don't have to have my husband lug in gallon upon gallon of water for drinking.) We've even got the RO setup hooked up to the ice maker, so all our ice is made from RO water, and we always use it for cooking. I wouldn't get that if I used bottled water, and let me tell you, our water here in southern IN is GROSS! (It's VERY hard, and it's full of rust and sediment.) An RO faucet at home is one of the best investments we could make! in IN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Thanks for your feedback. Interesting to find about the Salt in water from softner.. What about Spring water?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 > Thanks for your feedback. Interesting to find about the Salt in water > from softner.. Well, understand that it's not " table salt " , but it's a mineral salt that softens the water. I don't remember the chemical formula, but I can tell you that it tastes terrible, and the only kind of water filter that'll take it out is an RO setup. > What about Spring water?? Couldn't tell ya. I know that it tastes good *grin*, but I don't know anything about the filtration (if any) or the bottling process. Sorry. in IN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 > > > Hi Bee I was wondering if my parents house Tap water is good. We have a very expensive water softner for the whole house and then for drink water underneath the sink is another water filter? ==>Marko, no one should ever drink softened water, even if it is filtered with another filter. Your family should be buying water, or get a source of tap water that is not softened and filter it. > > Apparently my father has told me a couple times before that between the two of these they should be taking out all of the chlorine and > flourine. ==>However, softened water contains certain kinds of salts which are very harmful to the body. Do you mean fluoride?? Only certain kinds of filters take out fluoride. >And sometimes I just feel that maybe the bottled water I am buying at the store " reverse osmosis " could very well have bacteria in it.. ==>Do not be concerned about bacteria - do a site search on my website at: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com for the article " You Do Not Catch Viruses, Bacteria or Germs " . You should not drink reverse osmosis without adding minerals to it - the easiest way is to add 20 drops of Concentrace minerals per gallon. > Whats your take on this assuming our tap water is free from chlorine and flourine is there any other harmful elements? ==>Those are the worst elements but softened water is just as bad, and so is reverse osmosis - the best source for minerals is good water and ocean sea salt.

I believe it is best to add minerals to all of your water for drinking and cooking and then add lemon and ocean sea salt to it. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I love the Brita filter system. One word about them - make sure you change the filters often enough. If you don't they start dumping all that stuff you've been trying to filter back into the water.

If you add ConcenTrace Liquid Ionic Minerals to distilled or reverse osmosis water it is okay. If the olives are in olive oil they are okay, but other man-made vegetables oils aren't.

If your tap water contains fluoride you should have reverse osmosis water, but you must add 20 drops of ConcenTrace Ionic Liquid Minerals to every gallon you use for cooking or drinking because it is devoid of minerals. If your water does not contain fluoride a carbon filter is good. I use a Britta water filter. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi Sue, I have heard exercising in water is very good for people with arthritis. I am hoping to get my own pool so I can take advantage whenever I want. I wish their was some kind of financial help for people with arthritis, it is expensive to put a pool in and my work hours do not allow time for me to go to a YMCA. Be well.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I can testify to the wonders of a hot spa! I used to have a four-bedroom house in the hills with a great big pool - but no spa. Recently, I decided to downsize (too much house to care for when I'm hurting) and moved to an apartment complex with a fabulous whirlpool and sauna. Now, every night, I sit in that spa for awhile and relax. And then I spend 15 minutes stretching (ballet exercises)! I feel amazing afterwards! The stretching combined with the hot water really does make me feel so much better (I have a pretty severe case of PA right now). It was well worth the move!!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 You might do a really good search and even call the arthritis foundation to see if there is a warm water therapy pool near you. Most are really low cost, and they are especially good if they are certified by the National Arthritis Foundation. Where do you live maybe I can do some looking for you.
