Simple home water testing and human urine testing will
let you know if your drinking water contamination is causing your health
problems.
There are at least six types of water contamination that may be
found in your municipal tap water:
-
-
-
Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOC): pesticides and
herbicides
-
-
-
Pharmaceutical
drugs

Are water contamination and heavy metal toxins contributing to your health issues? It's
more common than you think.
If you are not using a water filter or shower filter to purify your drinking water, bath, pool, spa, hot tub and shower, you may be
absorbing dangerous toxins and endangering your family’s, pet’s and livestock's health.
Yes, you can absorb toxins through your skin(1) and the steam
you breath in your shower, bath, pool, hot tub and spa.
The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) admits you could have problems
with copper and lead in
your body if your home has copper or metal pipes.
According to the EPA "approximately one in eight Americans is exposed to potentially harmful
microbes, pesticides, lead, or radioactive radon whenever they
drink a glass of tap water or take a shower."(2)
EPA states, "Household plumbing materials are
the most common source of lead and copper in home drinking water. Corrosive water may cause metals in pipes or
soldered joints to leach into your tap water. Your water’s acidity or alkalinity (often measured as pH) greatly
affects corrosion. Temperature and mineral content also affect how corrosive it is. They are often used in
pipes, solder, or plumbing fixtures. Lead can cause serious damage to the brain, kidneys, nervous system, and
red blood cells. The age of plumbing materials — in particular, copper pipes soldered with lead — is also
important. Even in relatively low amounts these metals can be harmful."(3)
The US EPA estimates that up to 20% of human exposure to lead results from contaminated
drinking water.
Municipal water systems are only responsible for water quality
leaving their treatment facilities, not the water you drink in your
home.
My personal
story...
Caution: If you
keep reading this information and following the links on this website, your water activities will never be
the same, unless you test and filter your water.
On the following web pages I’m sharing my hundreds of hours of
review of the published research. Each statement I make on this website is backed by medical and research
references located at the bottom of appropriate pages.
This is important:
Test your water before and after
filtering. Make sure your water filters and shower filters are removing the toxins you, your home
and business are challenged with.
