Break it Already!


I saw this on one of the forums I go to...thought I would blatantly take it and put it here for everybody. I don't know who originally did this but it's awesome. You can kinda see him/her in the glass.

Water Transformation - Part 1

Roaming around the internet trying to find information on water quality is a little confusing. Should you just filter it by reverse-osmosis or distill it? maybe bottled water? And what about these products that spin the water and 'charge' it with energy? I will try and give you some background for all this and give my take on what to do with your water.

Water is such a miraculous substance. It comprises so much of this earth and our bodies it is undoubtedly worthy of study. Water used to be a lot cleaner than it used to be and mountain streams or natural springs were the main choice for fresh water. Then aquifers were tapped for consumption and irrigation which was very good. One problem was that we started irrigating our bodily waste. Like many human activities we flushed or drained our excrement out of sight and out of mind. The Asian people on the other hand used it for fertilizer, which has kept the same fields productive for 4000 years. When the fecal matter was causing epidemics around the world the modern waste treatment plant was devised. I found out this filtering process is unnecessary for most of our waste. Of course hazardous chemicals and particulates that find their way into the water should be filtered but many organic wastes can be composted and grey-water systems can be implemented, saving an immense amount of potable water. In another post I will write about composting this waste into useful and disease free fertilizer.

So what most of us have in our water is fluoride, chlorine, prescription drug residue, heavy metals, and other particulates that accumulate through the cities pipes. We definitely don't need fluoride and chlorine. Ozone and UV radiation treatment would more than take care of any bacteria or virus in the system without the need of chlorine. Fluoride is an industrial waste that is disposed of by marketing it to the municipalities and dentists. The first widespread use of fluoride was by the Nazi's and Communist's in the USSR (especially in their concentration camps). Everyone knows that they had the best intentions for everyone. Read this for more information about the risks of fluoride. Chlorine is also a chemical that has no place in the water supply. Chlorine Dangers

The people reading this I'm sure filter their water someway, but what's the best? The main thing I have found that the factors that matter are how pure the water is, how alkaline it is, and if the water is charged somehow. Purity comes first.

Distillation is the best method for this, the second best is reverse-osmosis, and a reliable spring water is the third. For me, distillation is cheap, easily repeatable and very adaptable. A Reverse-Osmosis filter system has to be replaced and they usually cost more in the long run. All I have to do is occasionally clean out the metal bucket of my distiller every few weeks. Combined with even the simplest of practices we can turn any clean water into something amazing.

Mercury's hidden sources

While most of us have heard about not eating fish or breaking thermometers because of mercury toxicity, not many have heard of the dangers hidden from us by the medical establishment and media. There are three other dangerous sources that you may have voluntarily exposed yourself to. The three sources are:
  1. "Silver" Amalgam fillings
  2. Vaccines
  3. Compact fluorescent light bulbs or CFL's
If you have ever seen or read Alice in Wonderland, you will remember the Mad Hatter. In Britain and elsewhere in the 1800's Industrial period fur hats were quite fashionable. What the hat maker had to do was use a mercury compound to make the cheaper furs attach to the hat surface.[1] These mercury vapors are most damaging to the brain, nervous system and liver. While these Mad Hatter's most likely were exposed to quite a bit more mercury than the average person today, the fact is it doesn't take much for people sensitive to mercury to have symptoms. The profession most exposed to mercury these days are dentists, and I'll tell you why.

So called "Silver" amalgam fillings have mercury in them. The mercury content in these fillings is up to 50%.[2] What the ADA won't tell you is that this mercury becomes a vapor when in contact with hot foods or beverages. Friction like brushing, chewing, or drilling will release even more mercury. See this for video of leakage [3] This is the largest source of mercury that is poisoning our population. Dentists have the most to lose from choosing to put these fillings in health wise. Money wise they profit. Personally, I have seen a difference in my personality before and after I had 7 fillings put in over the years. Symptoms include:
  • stuttering
  • memory loss
  • depression
  • anxiety
  • chronic fatigue
  • constant low body temperature
These symptoms were simply not there before all of this. Interesting to think about though, huh. A few links will be at the bottom. Don't worry because there is plenty of resources on the web and dentist's who do know about this. Do not try to detox mercury with fillings in! Get them out first by a biological/holistic dentist.

Vaccines come in at number two in the countdown of dangers because mercury is in quite a few of them. Lawsuits have forced mercury out of some vaccines. The pharmaceutical companies say there isn't that much in each vaccination but you have to think about it proportionally. A baby is small, and it's nervous system as well as everything else is growing. With so many vaccines loaded with formaldehyde, aluminum, and mercury, it becomes a burden rather than a blessing. Go here to find out more. Again, more links will be at the bottom of the post.

Finally, the least publicized source of mercury is from CFL lightbulbs. Compact fluorescents save money, but do they save the environment? Definitely not. These bulbs have mercury in them! Did you know that? This is how the EPA recommends clean up. What happens when this mercury is put in the land fill? If you can use them, not break them, and take them to a proper disposal center that is totally fine by me. But don't just throw it away, please. The quality of light is also not good for your eyes or mood. Save money by getting energy-efficient appliances and living in buildings like monolithic domes. Install skylights. Thats were you can really save.

Sorry to scare you and leave you with nothing to remedy this. You can detoxify mercury. Some detox methods include MSM supplementation, chelation, bentonite clay, sauna's, and the Master Cleanse. Working with many approaches at once is probably a good idea but you can't rush heavy metal detox. Consult a doctor that specializes in this please. If you decide you want to get your fillings out, there are dentists for that as well.

Honestly, I just opened up the box, there is soooo much more information about this topic. Remember that the FDA, AMA, and ADA are not what you think they are. Their leaders aim to protect the medical establishment and pharmaceutical companies, not you. Seriously look into that statement. This is not to say there aren't honest and sincere individuals in these organizations, it's just they don't make the policies and/or have serious academic blinders on.

Mercury affects people in very different ways and because of this it has been hard to make a case to the general public. Some people have a very high tolerance for it. After all, our bodies ability to cope with stuff is amazing and everyone has different strong points in that regard. Some people are not even affected by it for many years. However, the body is not very good at excreting mercury and over time an accumulation may be enough to harm you.

note: I really must work on my references and for that I sincerely apologize, I will work diligently to improve this in the future. Many of the links I provide have massive lists of medical as well as anecdotal references for your perusal.
