    indicates you'd need to sell up and move to somewhere there is no human/animal waste in your water supply

    or get a proper water filter instead of some mickey mouse setup




    you'd be treating it and sorting it out anyway after getting the crap out it

    Well, you've convinced me ;)

    Residual chlorine is an important public health protection measure to provide some degree of protection should the water become subsequently contaminated through, for example a leak in a pipe etc.

    A lot of these systems are playing on people's fears and the hysteria associated pathogens and pathogenic organisms, as well as people's inability to read a basic introduction to chemistry text book.

    Bought a water distiller some time ago for about £100. Heats the water and steam is condensed into a jug. Takes a couple of hours to produce a big jug of water. Stainless steel or cast iron for cooking - no peeling nonstick pans for me. Drink a huge amount of tea so probably negates the above! :eek:

    There isn't any evidence to support it helps prevent tooth decay but plenty to support the fact of its effect as a neurotoxin. (this goes without saying) I think about 80% of europe does not use it - why Ireland does is beyond me. There isn't any need for it - particularly since we have been using tooth brushes for some time now, with or without the flouridated toothpaste (which by the way can be made cheaply and effectively at home.)

    I don't want to ingest flouride more than i have to, and it's irking we are forced to drink it in our water. (and the rest).

    Following on from what americans do or don't do would not be of interest to me bearing in mind the general dumbing down taking place in that country and others. Clearly flouride is not helping to increase IQ.

    but I digress. Perhaps someone could answer my question.

    In some countries it occurs naturally in the water supply and hence there is no need to add it.

    With regards to being a nurutoxin you need to look at the ppm, and they come back to us

    Anyone got cranial permeability figures and toxicity data for tinfoil hats? ;)

    Hi, new to boards so take it easy on me (first post).

    Just wondering if anyone is using a Berkey Water Filter at the moment. If so, how do you find it, as I was thinking of buying one.

    Any info would be appreciated.

    Thanks.
