Tap Water

Tap water is an absolute disaster for health and fertility. In recent years, media reports have raised concerns about reproductive health and possible pregnancy risks from the by-products of chlorinated drinking water. Chlorine is added to drinking water to kill disease-causing microbes. However, when chlorine combines with other materials in water (often added to balance its pH), it forms chloroform and related chemicals called trihalomethanes. Certainly not something you should be drinking even in minimal quantities--would you willingly drink poison? Tap water can also become contaminated with fluoride, pesticides, lead, copper, PCBs (plastics) from pipes or other poisonous substances such as heavy metals. These substances have all been shown to be toxic and carcinogenic, and inextricably linked to thyroid function problems, infertility, miscarriages, embryonic malformations and abnormalities, behavioural and de velopmental problems in children, and much more. Toxic chemicals and industry by-products found in tap water make it dangerous for human consumption, unless filtered by a good quality purifier. So do not be fooled by claims that tap water is good for you, or that it makes children grow big and strong, whilst protecting their teeth! Absurd. It does no such things--it does however decrease your health, vitality and chances of having a healthy baby.

It is essential that you NEVER, ever, ever, ever (EVER) drink hot water from the tap, or use it for cooking or making tea and so on. The heat helps to leach extra toxins from pipes into the water (no matter of kind of pipe you have) and increases the volatility of chemicals that disrupt hormone balance. This makes hot tap water even more toxic than, normal temperature tap water, which is already toxic enough!

The message is loud and clear--DO NOT, under any circumstances, drink, make tea, cook or wash your foods in tap water--hot or cold. Always use filtered water for anything you are going to be ingesting. A shower filter is also desirable as hot showers open pores, which enables increased absorption of toxins through the skin.
