Guest guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I always have this question in my mind, and can't find any answer from the old post. Any advice is appreciated. Now a day, almost all city water contains low level of mercury, lead, arsenic and other toxic heavy metal in " government's safty zone " . In my house, I only have water filter for the drinking faucet, but no filter for the bath/shower. Would you consider that is mercury exposure if taking bath with water has not being filtered? Is it still safe to do the chelation? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 , You can get a relatively inexpensive whole-house filter -- I would think that the amounts of chlorine and other contaminants would cause considerably more harm in the shower/bath, unless you have some really high levels of the other metals. We are renting, but it was still worth it to look -- and we found one under $10 (yes, $10) never opened or used. These are some good links, just because I was looking at this today budgeting for our new house. http://www.naturalnews.com/024067_water_carbon_mercury.html http://www.naturalnews.com/024107_water_hydrogen_spring_water.html http://www.naturalnews.com/022946_water_drugs_fluoride.html Regards, Summer McFarland 1.22 HEAL KIDS 1.224.325.5437 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ------------------------------------- Over fourteen years of organic search engine optimization, marketing and design.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 See if Consumer Reports has ever done any tests on house filters. We have a reverse osmosis filter for drinking water. I just had it tested and it is pretty darned clean. Takes out fluoride, too. What I'd love to get are shower filters for the chlorine. It is still safe to chelate when exposed to city water. You are exposed to heavy metals in so many ways, every day... not wanting to scare you... just keep it in perspective. And don't drink the tub water.
