What about the water we drink? As restorers, we have to put up with and subject our bodies to all sorts of contaminants, many of which are carcinogenic. In addition, we have to drink and bathe in water, which is not conducive to good health, either. I would like to bring your attention to the following information. I think it is of extreme importance that we take every precaution to stay healthy.
It has been repeated over the years while being a member of the AOR that we need to drink lots and lots of water. This will help flush out from our bodies all the toxins we are exposed to by breathing in or entering through our skin. Now for those of you who have been following this helpful advise, you also must be aware of the health risk at stake by drinking water.
I, like many of you, have become increasingly alarmed by all the articles concerning the quality of municipal water supplies and infrastructures. The bottom line is, that the world is in an unprecedented water quality crisis. Depending on what part of the country you live in, it is easy to find trace amounts of nitrates, pesticides, heavy metals, radioactive compounds, petro-chemicals and parasites in the local, municipal water supplies. These toxins and free radicals are made even more toxic to humans by the addition of chlorine , a compound mandated by the Public Health Department. It's in everyone's water! (Unless they have water from a well)
Concern for my family's health sent me looking for a water purification system for my home and I came across the system, rated number one in the world, by the World Health Organization. It is also the only water filter system, ever, to be displayed in the Smithsonian Museum, as part of an alternative health display. According to a government report, published just last year, drinking Chlorinated water could increase your risk of cancer by (93%), which means, if you or someone you know, has been touched by cancer, chances are very good it can be traced back to the water they drink.
Cancer is not the only disease or malady we can contract from drinking or bathing in simple tap water. Did you know the human body is so absorbent (it's like a great big sponge), it absorbs 600% to 1,000% more contaminants in a 10 minute hot shower, than it does by drinking the same water (80ounces) all day. I guess that means, we should be as concerned about the water we bathe in as we are about the water we drink.
If you would like to learn more of how to protect your health, as I have, I encourage you to visit the site: www.healthierwater.com. It will answer all the technical questions. The bigger picture is that I want us all to stay healthy, but it is not going to happen with the chemicals we use or the water we drink. We need to be proactive and create the best possible environment to work and live in. Thank you for letting me share this information with you. As a fellow restorer I know how important this is. If you have any questions about clean water, please do not hesitate to call me personally.
I am a representative for Wellness Water and will answer any of your questions.
