Drinking Better Water Makes a Difference

[GoldenSky]

Lately, I have been taking the trouble to go to the store with jugs and get filtered Glacier water -- it's a pain in the neck because I live in a second-floor apartment and have to lug the jugs up every week, but absolutely worth it.

I recently moved, and before, I was always spoiled by having wonderful country well water coming out of the tap. I did get a Brita when I moved, but it didn't seem to be enough, because ever since I moved, I have had chronic problems, er, being bound up, shall we say, which I never had in all my life before. Then I recently found out that my tap water comes out of the Hudson River and is highly chlorinated! Geeze, that explains a lot!

Supposedly, they gave the river a "clean up" several years back, but there's still bad industrial stuff in there anyway, from what people say. (How do you "clean" a river, anyway? I've always wanted to know. It's not like you can take a giant vacuum cleaner to it )

And I'll tell you, my er, problem has all disappeared in the last two weeks.

My mother also has a similar story, in that she suffered from chronic urinary tract infections -- she was just miserable, could hardly even go places at times. She had surgery. She tried herbs, which helped some. Her doctor tried low dose antibiotics, which helped some. Then she started just restricting her drinking water to Poland Spring only, and her problem that she suffered from for years is *completely gone. God is good!

The water that comes out the faucet at my apartment complex smells and tastes like sewage water straight from the gutter. Comes across as malicious.

Municipal water authorities always insist that their water is safe to drink, more as a matter of pride than anything else. They are idiots. Buy a distiller and never drink or cook with municipal water again.

I was going to say, water is water, what are you doing buying it, but forgot about that city stuff and especially what you have going there.

How soon we forget when we spend most of our life with that well water you mention. I've seen some awful well water too, but I was fortunate the last one I had dug. Even the awful, as in way too much iron is probably better than Hudson river water.

Too bad you can't just save your jugs and get it from someones well, at least some of it.

My tap water not only smells like sewer water but it tastes like sewer water.

My tap water not only smells like sewer water but it tastes like sewer water.

It's probably flammable as well.

Good point! I will test it today.

Great advice so far!! The chlorine and fluoride they are putting in the water is literally killing people. I have been reading articles on how they are now unable to remove prescription drugs and some chemicals from the water. I tell people if they want to add 20 years to their life never again drink tap water.
