This post comes from one of the blogs I frequently read. WOW! We all need to really start standing up and saying no more often…

I am not always in agreement with naturalnews.com but every once in a while they produce a gem for us – and this one is one we all need to read. I agree whole heartedly with this article. Not only are the things that are added to our water supply DEADLY and CARCINOGENIC (cancer causing agents), they also change the chemical makeup of our brains – and our genetic makeup.
Lithium. So, let’s toss out all the hooey with regards to Lithium. Yes, it is a natural substance – like lead, like plutonium – but I wouldn’t ingest either of my own free will. Lithium is a metallic salt that has been pushed heavily by the psychiatry community since the late 60s – early 70s. It was used prior to that time – but not as aggressively. Psychiatrists say that there are no side effects and that it is “harmless” when the truth of the matter is that Lithium is TOXIC. They also state that it corrects issues like bipolar disease – when in truth it slows down your brain function – slowing the responses.
There are several warnings about Lithium – kidney disease, heart disease, seizures, hyperthyroidism, digestive diseases among others.

I also want to hit on a couple other things regarding our water sources.
Antibiotics / Drugs in our water sources. I was unaware that antibiotics and certain drugs are not broken down in our bodies or in our water source. When you flush drugs you no longer want or are outdated you are adding them to the water source – they do NOT get cleaned out during the filtration process. This is VERY concerning as it means most all of our water sources are no longer pure. And the bugs that are created because of these drugs are much more deadly and unable to be killed with conventional antibiotics any longer.

Filtration Systems. If you live in the city, you have water from a filtration system managed by your city or state. If you live in the country and are on a well, you manage your water. Why is this important? If you are filtering water – either with a whole house filter, city water, or something like a Brita, you are not only removing bad things from your water but also good things. The most important nutrients our bodies need are minerals typically found in good water. These trace minerals are vital to our overall good health. Some manage hormones, some aid in brain health, gut health and organ health.
If you are using any type of a filtration system, you should also know that certain things cannot be filtered out… Viruses, bacteria, and fungus; Lead · PFAs · Arsenic · Fluoride. So… Why again are you using a filtration system?
City Water. Most city water systems include adding Fluoride to the water system. If you are unaware of how dangerous this is please ready my blog – Personal Hygiene – Toothpaste. City water also typically has chlorine added to it. One of these days I’ll write a good post on where chlorine came from and how bad it is, remember that you need to wear a mask and gloves to handle it safely… and they are putting it in your water to drink. Hmm… does that sound good to you? I’ll add a link below providing information on what is required for city water.

I hope this post gets you thinking about many new things in many new ways!
