With all due respect to my fellow posters, please don’t make statements like “Fiji is just tap water” without offering some proof to back it up, and telling us how you know that. Also, I’ve been drinking Aquafina exclusively for well over a year now, so it’s very disturbing to hear someone say “a friend who works for Pepsi says it’s radiated”. The Aquafina website shows their 7-step purification process, and for Step #3 it says: "a burst of high-intensity light imparts energy to the water stream to protect against naturally occurring organic substances in the water." From what I’ve been able to find through Google searches, this sounds like the Pulsed-Light sterilization system: “Pulsed light uses an intense flash of sunlight-like light to extend the shelf life of foods and kill microorganisms on food and packaging surfaces. For transparent foods, the effects penetrate as deeply as the light. Already tested by researchers on bakery foods, seafood, meats, fruits and vegetables, and many other foods, results indicate the process significantly reduces microbial loads and enhances shelf life with no change in nutritional properties”. To me, this does not sound the same as ionizing radiation (irradiation, AKA “cold pasteurization”), and it doesn’t sound like it would be harmful or dangerous, but I’m not very knowledgeable in this area; can someone who is, please comment?  I phoned the number on the Aquafina bottle (800-433-2652), and asked if Aquafina is radiated. A very courteous and helpful gentleman tried to find the answer, but after much searching, took my phone number and said he would have someone who can give me a definite answer return my call. If I do get an answer, I’ll post it here. By the way, Reverse Osmosis seems to have a lot of drawbacks, including the fact that it uses up to 5-6 gallons of water for every 1 gallon it produces.  This whole question of getting clean, healthy, SAFE water is making me crazy!



 

Responding to your questions:

I can tell you that a great start is "Natural Cures They Don't Want You To know About" by Kevin Trudeau to understand how mainstream medicine is a deception. I went through all the detoxes and cleanses with natural supplements and I stay away from ALL artificial foods and harmful chemicals. Now I eat either truly natural or organic food. I also follow a "metabolic type" diet which I don't believe was touched upon in the book but I think is crucial, I can't stress that enough. I even had my amalgam fillings removed which can contain up to 50% mercury. I also did a complete and thorough hair mineral analysis to determine what vitamins and minerals I was deficient in and then supplemented accordingly. It must be a complete and thorough mineral analysis. I re-balanced my complete endocrine system as well. I also got off all the toxic drugs I was on and there were alot which made me worse. I strongly suggest doing this under the advice of a professional health care practitioner. I did it myself cold turkey but I don't recommend it, it was a bit rough at times dealing with the withdrawal symptoms of some of the drugs, lol. I went from several active lesions in my brain and detectible myelin protein in my spinal fluid to completely healed lesions and plaques. Maybe most importantly, it's about "believing" that it can be done and understanding how mainstream medicine holds millions of people down and are forced to suffer needlessly because of corporate greed. This is what worked for me. Hope this helps. As Dr. M. says,"Take Control of Your Health".
