"Drinking Water Scams Revealed"
Read this article before you consider paying for your drinking water.
Wouldn't it be nice to stop poisoning ourselves with polluted or unhealthy drinking water? I, for one, felt that I would love to find a source of safe inexpensive drinking water. (Ideally, I'd love to turn on the tap, and out it would flow!)
Whether it's curing cancer with magnets or herbal wonder-remedies or Vioxx, we've all seen the fantastic claims people make about their health products AND about how your whole life will be changed! I can tell you right now that 90% are frauds. You may even have fallen prey to some of these scams, selling you the latest fad.
Me too. I've bought so many kinds of drinking water, I can't recall. (If a lie is repeated often enough, it becomes "the truth").
Finally, after many disappointments I got FED UP. I decided to get to the bottom of this desire we all have to make sure that our most basic nutrient -- water -- won't make us sick.
I checked out endless commercial websites and a number of university and government sites; and I was dismayed at what I repeatedly found:
--Outdated information or info repeated from other websites
--Wild and sensational claims
--No research
--No refunds, etc.
I already knew that we can't trust our tap water because of the presence of up to 2000 contaminants.
Specifically, I found:
a) Bottled Water: a real mish-mash of quality, often no more than filtered tap water sold at outrageous mark-ups
b) Reverse-osmosis and distilled water: completely ignored the medical evidence of the dangers in the ongoing drinking of water that is void of minerals, acid in nature and oxidizing.
I quickly realized that these products were either useless, overpriced or potentially harmful long-term. And the companies were smiling all the way to the bank.
Nevertheless I was able to find products that were well-researched and legitimate. I found a website providing quality products and a wealth of information; and http://wwwFilter4Good.com (while this site does not address the problem of acidity in drinking water, it is straightforward in its assessment of what various water filters do.)
I hope that you're not misled by false claims, and take a look at these resources, for the sake of your health.
Caveat Emptor
Let the Buyer Beware!
Every week, we receive phone calls and emails from online shoppers who, for one reason or another, have purchased their filters from an American online store. After all, American vendors, for the most part, promise "Free Shipping anywhere in North America".
Imagine just how surprised our cross-border shoppers were when, in order to have their packages released, they were asked to pay, depending on the size of their order, anywhere between $40 and $60 in various border fees. All cross-border orders are subject to GST, Provincial Tax, duty, brokerage and/or handling fees, etc. You will have no choice, but to pay, or refuse delivery. The vendor can't be held responsible for what Canada Border Services Agency does, so you'll be left with no recourse. So much for "Free Shipping".
There is really no substitute for buying from an authorized Canadian distributor. Advantages are multifold, and not limited to the original purchase, but also apply to future shipments (replacement filters, warranty parts, etc.).
Our prices are very competitive and the personalized service we provide is second to none. We are also the only Canadian vendor offering;

Drink water like your life depended on it, because it does!
Why is water so important to our health?
Water has been called "the most essential nutrient." Approximately two thirds of a person's body weight is water. Blood is 63% water, the brain 75%, muscles 75%, lungs 80%, heart 75%, liver 85%, kidneys 63% and even bones are 22% water.
The benefits of drinking plenty of water:
- It helps us look better by keeping our weight in check, revitalizes dull dry skin and lubricates all of our joints.
- It regulates our body temperature, assists the kidneys in eliminating harmful salts and wastes, carries nutrients and oxygen to all the cells in your body and is essential for maintaining good health.
- The average adult needs 6 to 8 glasses of water a day, for digestion, perspiration, breathing and elimination of waste.
- It also DECREASES the risk of colon cancer by 45%, breast cancer by 79%, bladder cancer by 50%, rectal cancer by 38%, back and joint pain, kidney stones, urinary tract infections, constipation, migraine headaches and obesity.
What does NOT count towards water intake:
Drinks containing nutrients, such as milk, fruit juices, sugar-sweetened drinks, salty tomato based juices etc. all take water from the body to process nutrients. Tea, coffee, cola drinks and alcoholic beverages are diuretics that promote urination, causing even greater water loss than the liquid consumed.
What happens if we don't get sufficient water?
Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. If the amount of water in your body is reduced by: 1% you feel very thirsty and your metabolism slows. 3% can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math and difficulty focusing on a printed page. 5% will leave you having difficulty moving your muscles or thinking clearly. This reduces your ability to work by 20-30%. At 10% loss of body water, you will die.

How bad is our tap water?
Research by federal, provincial and city departments, as well as scientists in universities across the country and around the world have declared that the regular use of chlorinated water for an extended period of time leads to disease such as cancer, heart disease, birth defects and other degenerative disorders.
Over the past two decades, our society has dumped more chemical waste, sewage, poisons, industrial waste and drugs into our water sources than at anytime in history.
Our rivers, lakes and even the underground lakes that supply our wells and springs have become contaminated by the leaching of pest- icides, insecticides, herbicides, nitrates, PCB's, phosphates, dioxins and other toxic substances.
Manure and organic waste has increased bacteria in water sources.
Scientists have identified over 2300 chemicals in our water.
The water treatment process adds aluminum sulphate, chlorine and other chemicals to our water. All are poisonous.
As water passes through the distribution pipelines it picks up poisonous pollutants such as copper, iron, zinc and lead which can and does lead to serious long term health effects.
Without the chlorine, most of us would be dead in days from water born bacteria and viruses. Unfortunately chlorine reacts with organic matter in the water and creates trihalomethanes (THM's) and haloacetates, which have proven carcinogenic.
Escherichia coli (E.Coli), gardia lamblia, fecal coliform and cryptosporidium are microscopic parasites, mostly chlorine resistant, found in the feces of infected humans or animals are often found in water sources after snowmelt or rainstorms.
It is estimated that one third of gastro intestinal illnesses can be traced to microbes in tap water.
Current testing methods for cryptosporidium are ineffective.
Ten years ago, statistics showed 1 in 15 suffering with cancer. Current projections are 1 in 2 within the next ten years.
You definitely want the disinfecting power of chlorine in the water right up to your tap but at that point you have to make a decision.. "You can either have a water filter or be the water filter."
If you decide to be the filter, remember replacing the clogged human organs can be a long, painful and sometimes fatal process and the replacement you get is never a new one.
It's your decision. Do you want you and your family to be the filters? Or do you want to be able to throw away the bacteria, chemicals, heavy metals, poisons and other contaminants every year and start with a brand new fresh filter cartridge?
