Medical Information that may affect your life
The following are short extracts from excellent reports and books
published by a variety of organizations, officials, doctors and
research scientists on the dangers in our drinking water supplies.
These publications are available through bookstores, libraries or
the author themselves.
"It is estimated that 50% to 90% of all human tumors are environmentally
induced. For years water pollution levels have been on the rise,
and yet only recently, as pollution levels have reached record highs
has the public outcry become louder". WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
"Putting chlorine in the water supplies is like starting a
time bomb. Cancer, heart trouble, premature senility; both mental
and physical, are conditions attributable to chlorine-treated water
supplies. It is making us grow old before our time by producing
symptoms of aging such as hardening of the arteries." DR. HERBERT
SCHWARTS, BIOLOGICAL CHEMIST
"Many carcinogenic agents take twenty to thirty years before
the effects show up and then it is too late." HEALTHY WATER
FOR A LONGER LIFE - MARTIN FOX, PH.D
"chlorine is the greatest crippler and killer of modern times.
It is an insidious poison. Most medical researchers were led to
believe it was safe, but now we are learning the hard way that all
the time we thought we were preventing epidemics of one disease,
we were creating another. Two decades after the start of chlorinating
our drinking water, [1904], the present epidemic of heart trouble
and cancer began. In the process of atherogenesis, chlorine is the
essential agent." CORONARIES/CHOLESTEROL/CHLORINE - DR. JOSEPH
M. PRICE
"If chlorine were now proposed for the first time to be used
in drinking water, it would be banned." EVERYTHING YOU WANT
TO KNOW ABOUT DRINKING WATER - K.W. DONSBACH
"The factors [minerals in water] either protect you from toxic
properties and/or give you nutrients in a form that your body can
accept and are significant in maintaining good health . . . using
distillation and reverse osmosis creates artificially soft water
and may also bring higher death rates." HEALTHY WATER FOR LONGER
LIFE -
Alzheimer's and Aluminum. For years, researchers have puzzled over
the surprisingly high levels of aluminum that turn up in the shriveled
brains of Alzheimer's disease victims. While some scientists believe
that the aluminum deposits are only a side effect of Alzheimer's,
a growing number of investigators say that aluminum may play a central
role in causing the disease that afflicts mostly elderly people.
The latest evidence of a link emerged when Australian scientists
reported that aluminum used to purify water accumulated in the brains
of laboratory rats. The Australian study focused new interest on
the issue at a time when Ottawa’s environmental health directorate
is preparing to propose Canada's first national guidelines for aluminum
levels in drinking water. The Australian study was important, said
the directorate's chief: DR BARRY THOMAS
Lead and Learning. "We see decreased intelligence, hearing
problems and smaller stature as a result of lead exposure."
Even moderate levels of exposure can interfere with the ability
to pay attention and may play an important role in learning disorders
and antisocial behavior".DR SUE BINDER, chief of the lead poisoning
branch at the Centers of Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia,
Beaver Fever, Giardia, Cryptosporidium. These organic sporozoans,
first described in 1907, were not recognized as a cause of human
illness until 1976. Dispatch#60 Health and Welfare Canada
The problem with lead is compounded by the fact that our senses
cannot detect the lead levels commonly found in drinking water.
You can't smell, taste, or see the lead. An "action" threshold
level of 15 parts per billion (ppb) has been established by the
EPA.
"There is increased evidence for an association between rectal,
colon and bladder cancer and the consumption of chlorinated drinking
water", this according to the President's Council on Environmental
Quality.
Since asbestos exposure is cumulative, young people are in particular
need of protection. "Adults have three or four decades to develop
cancer after exposure". Mount Sinai's Dr. Landrigan
Although giardiasis (Beaver Fever) probably receives the least
amount of publicity, the organism that causes it, giardia lambia,
is one of the most insidious pests in water supplies. According
to an article in Opflow, a publication of the American Water Works
Association, "it is the most common disease causing intestinal
parasite in the United States."
Speaking at the annual meeting of The Gold & Silver Institutes
in Laguna, Niguel, CA. Eaton said, "Progressively restrictive
legislation is confronting the use of chemicals, especially chlorine,
which for nearly a century has been the primary medium for water
disinfectants increasing pollution, utilities are forced to put
far more chlorine into the supply chain." Eaton explained,
" The chemical reaction that oxidizes impurities when chlorine
is added, also forms carcinogenic byproducts. Of course these same
byproducts have been generated by chlorination for a long time but
never in the quantities that are now being seen". David Eaton,
secretary of The Institute of Water Ionization Technologies in the
United Kingdom and technical director of Roseland Hydronics PLC.
Personal Testimonials:
If a man is taking over the counter drugs or prescription drugs
that contain
chlorine and 85 of them do. Now take into account the chlorinated
tap water,
boiled or not. Now he will soon have erection and prostate problems.
Then we may
have the start of cancer later. How do I know this and can I prove
it? NO.
But I have been there and now live a chlorine free, chemical free,
organic as
much as I can. Loving every moment because I have all my parts working
again, without pills.
