Why Filter Your
Water?
Is your water just H2O? Does
it have a funny taste or smell?
In the U.K., we often take
clean water from our taps for granted. But just because your water looks clean
doesn't mean it is clean. Public water utilities are required to provide water
that does not contain pollutants above specified levels. Although they usually
provide good quality water, these water treatment plants are not always
effective at removing contamination that may harm public health. Sometimes,
certain pollutants, like rust or lead, can enter your water after it has left
the water treatment plant. Boiling your water isn't always the answer. In
fact, unless the contamination is caused by bacteria or a virus, boiling your
water can make the problem worse by concentrating the pollutant in the reduced
volume of water left in the kettle.
Every source of water has a unique quality. Rain water,
well water, river, lake and spring water are all dependent on the journey they
have taken. Spring water may filter through thousands of feet of clay or
mineral beds and pick up valuable nutrients.
Once water is polluted with chemicals or various other
wastes, it can not only have directly harmful effects but its life energy is
diminished. As rain water falls through the atmosphere it encounters the thick
band of pollution that now encircles the earth. It picks up lead, smoke, dust,
germs and a host of other chemicals. Drinking water may originate from polluted
melted snow or rain water runoff and go through agricultural areas with animal
excrement and using poisonous sprays, fertilizer, herbicides, pesticides, soil
fumigants and nitrates. There is a strong chance that the next water you drink
will have passed through someone's sewer or an industrial conduit filled with
wastes, poisons and bacteria. Most cities add chlorine to disinfect this water
and some add sodium fluoride to supposedly prevent tooth decay. All these will
be filtered out to bring you pure drinking water to ensure a healthy lifestyle.
| Health problems caused by polluted
water |
Fatigue can be
caused by chemical toxins in the water. If the liver and kidneys, which are the
main waste filters, are working to eliminate a high level of chemical toxins, a
general feeling of lethargy can result. The kidneys are preoccupied with the
elimination of chemical poisons, they have little energy left for normal,
healthful activity. Again, fatigue is the result.
The thyroid gland
Chlorine and Fluorine are
known to damage the thyroid gland. If our thyroid gland is under performing, we
can suffer from many undesirable symptoms including overweight, fatigue, dry
skin, infertility, painful menstrual periods, muscle weakness and cramps, hair
loss, recurrent infections, constipation, depression, intolerance to cold and
more.
Infertility
This can be caused by an
underactive thyroid. Also, women who are on the pill, excrete excess oestrogen
into the water supply. This can cause low sperm counts in males and hormone
imbalance problems in females. This is a major factor in today's infertility
crisis.
Parasites
It is not necessary to
travel to far-flung countries to pick up parasites from the water supply.
Approximately 1 in 6 people, if tested, are shown to have one or more
parasites. Contaminated drinking water is a common source.
Immune function can be seriously depleted by impure water, as it is a source of
chronic exposure and hard work for our detoxification systems. We can then be
made ill by problems that we should be able to cope with. For example, we may
retain mercury from water that we should other wise be able to
eliminate.
Heavy metal toxicity Lead, mercury and copper are among the heavy metals that can be
found in drinking water. These can all have a profoundly detrimental effect on
health. They can cross the blood-brain barrier and therefore cause mental
symptoms. Lead toxicity can cause behavioural problems and aggression in
children. Lead is teratogenic, literally 'monster-forming' and can result in
foetal malformations. It competes with zinc and can therefore cause zinc
deficiency. Zinc is required for all body processes. Copper also competes with
zinc in the body. Excess copper can cause tearfulness, depression, heavy
periods, post-natal depression and contribute to poor metal function and
dyslexia.
Cancer The ultimate
degenerative disease is caused as a result of the breakdown of the body's
systems and not by a problem in one isolated area where a tumour starts
growing. Lack of clean water is undoubtedly a contributory factor in the
development of these tragic diseases. Hormone related cancers, such as breast,
ovarian and endometrial are escalating frighteningly rapidly and are, in part,
attributed to excess chemical oestrogens.
| How can clean water benefit the
body? |
Healthy bowels and constipation
Our body requires water to
function. If our intake is insufficient then we will re-absorb water from the
colon. This is the same as drinking toxic water. It causes toxicity, headaches
and fatigue in the body and causes the stool to be dry, hard and difficult to
pass. Drinking plenty of clean water is a major step to good bowels.
Digestion The body
will never function at optimum without good digestion. Water softens foods and
dissolves many components.
Skin problems and acne The skin is a major organ of elimination. If we drink
sufficient water, it improves the elimination of waste through the urine and
bowels so that less needs to be eliminated through the skin.
How much should you drink?
The rough guide is 6-8
glasses a day (UK Food Standards Agency). This should come from pure water, or
some pure water made into fruit or herb teas. Beer, coke, fizzy drinks, coffee,
tea and alcohol cannot be included in this daily figure. Most of these actually
have a dehydrating effect. Drink plenty of clean water to improve and maintain
your health.
