 All this creates the need for implementing new water treatment methods which do not use chlorine for cities and households You may not be able to get your government to switch over to a healthier and more effective water treatment system, but you can certainly do this for yourself and your family.
There are many simple filtration systems that don't cost you much but can make a huge difference to your health. They are readily available in stores and on the Internet, and almost every new refrigerator comes with one already built into it. |

 Although quite pricey at the beginning, this water treatment system saves you money in the end. It is also virtually maintenance-free. Quite a few similar filters are now available, some cheaper, others even more expensive. I personally use a Puritec whole house water fdter, which is similar to the H20 Concept 2000. When you choose a water treatment system, make sure it has the mixed-media KDF/GAC filtration technology. |

 Each treatment method has its advantages and disadvantages (see Home water treatment Methods, page 49). Costs can vary from under fifty dollars for faucet-mounted units to many thousands of dollars for whole-house reverse osmosis systems. Using a combination of methods can result in the best overall quality drinking water. Even the quality and taste of distilled water can be improved by passing the water through a charcoal/carbon filter as a final step.
Before you purchase a water treatment unit, contact NSF International or the Water Quality Association. |

| The Ayurvedic hot water treatment (drinking hot ionized water) cleanses the tissues. Early bedtimes improve digestion and immune functions. In addition, a nourishing diet according to your body type makes assimilation of food easier and more effective. Exercise serves as a means to bring more oxygen into your cells and helps with the removal of toxic waste from the body. Also don't underestimate the healing powers of sunlight. If properly used, sunlight alone can eliminate many of our ills. |

| The use 208 of ozone (O3) in water treatment facilities has proven to be an effective practice for killing harmful organisms. Even some municipalities in the § United States have replaced chlorination with ozonation, but the improvement is not nearly as widespread as it should be.
* 0 DOCTOR'S NOTE:
I personally use the ECOsmarte" system in my pool, which uses copper ions and ozone to purify the water. Plus, I receive the added benefit of swimming in oxygen-rich water. Oxygen naturally detoxifies the body and is also absorbed into the bloodstream for use by the body. |

 Here's a frightening fact: the average water treatment plant can test for only thirty to forty of these chemicals. In addition heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and aluminum contaminate most of our water supplies. More than fifty-five thousand regulated chemical dumps in America, in addition to the estimated two hundred thousand unregulated chemical dumps, are leaking into the water tables across the nation. When we ingest this contaminated water, the production of free radicals increases significantly. |

| The following are some of the options you have: more sophisticated and more costly water treatment systems, such as the H20 Concept 2000. Its unique technology removes pesticides and herbicides from the water and leaves your drinking, shower, and pool water as fresh and clean as pure mountain water. The H20 Concept 2000 uses electrical impulses to break calcium bicarbonate and magnesium bicarbonate into calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, with the byproduct being C02. The C02 is dispelled at the faucet in minuscule amounts. |
| Prill beads are another form of water treatment. Although they cannot replace a water filter, they still cleanse the water and make it "thinner." This has a positive effect on the blood, lymph and basic cellular processes. Prill beads can be found in the U.S. though the Internet.
Of course, the old-fashioned method of boiling your drinking water for several minutes causes the chlorine to evaporate.
Finally, another inexpensive way to get rid of most chlorine in water is to use vitamin C. One gram of vitamin C will neutralize lppm (part per million) of chlorine in 100 gallons of water. |

 Man-made electronic and magnetic energy devices, and water treatment units, can definitely have a positive effect on some health problems by helping the body raise its General Vitality, or frequency vibrations. A body of lower gv and wl has the potential of rising to the level of that produced by the electronic or magnetic device. The downside is that, once the body has raised its vitality to the White Light potential of the device being used, it will be held at that level of energy output. In other words, the device can only help to improve vitality up to a certain level but no further. |

 There are a variety of water treatment technologies available today, and it's up to you to decide which one best suits your circumstances and the investment you want to make. Obviously, if you live in an apartment building or co-op, you will be limited as to what you can do, but using individual filters on each faucet can work tremendously well. Some things to consider:
How Bad Is Your Water?
Unfortunately, this question cannot be answered easily based on how your water looks and tastes. Numerous toxins can still be in your water without your sensing it. |
| Before buying any water treatment system, compare not only filter prices, but also operating and maintenance costs for the different units.
Given your particular situation, you may need to install or use more than one of the above technologies to cover the contaminants in your water supply. For example, if you have a problem with bacteria and hard water, you can opt for a UV system and a water softener. If arsenic and chlorination by-products are present, you could treat your water with a combination of reverse osmosis and carbon filtration. |

7. Cut Down on Alcohol
Alcohol is liquefied, refined sugar and is highly acid-forming. Therefore, it has a strong mineral-depleting effect in the body. The organ most affected by alcohol is the liver. If a generally healthy person drinks two glasses of wine within one hour, the liver is not able to detoxify all the alcohol. Much of it is converted into fatty deposits and, eventually, gallstones in the liver. |
| Yet another good water treatment is Molecular Resonance Effect Technology (MRET)—a device that alters the molecular organizational state of water and other liquid substances. MRET water has many special properties that make it ideal to help the body to increase its quota of structured water. MRET-activated water closely resembles cellular water in the body and hence is bioavailable. MRET water is produced by a nonchemical biosafe process of water activation. During this process, a subtle, low-frequency electromagnetic field is imprinted into the water. |
| Prill beads are another, far less expensive, form of water treatment. Although they cannot replace a water filter, they still cleanse your drinking water and make it "thinner." This has a positive effect on the blood, lymph, and basic cellular processes. Prill beads are available on the Internet (see Suppliers Lists in the Appendix). I can attest to the good taste of the water, its "thinness," and its excellent hydrating and cleansing effects. |
| When you choose a water treatment system, make sure it has the mixed-media KDF/GAC filtration technology.
Quite affordable, yet still very effective, and excellent for people who not only are interested in proper hydration but also want to cleanse the body from toxins, are water ionizers. These are widely available on the Internet.
The most commonly used methods to remove chlorine and numerous other contaminants from your drinking water (and possibly shower water) are filtration and reverse osmosis. |
| The H20 water treatment system, for example, is very efficient and health-promoting, but it is also quite expensive. Its unique technology even removes pesticides and herbicides from the water and leaves your drinking, shower, and pool water as fresh and clean as pure mountain water.
The H20 Concept 2000 uses electrical impulses to break calcium bicarbonate and magnesium bicarbonate, salts that are the major causes of hard water, into calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, with the byproduct being carbon dioxide (C02). The C02 is dispelled at the faucet in minuscule amounts. |

 There's a water treatment plant down the river. The intake filters got clogged up with toxic materials from Clairton; they couldn't just be taken to a landfill. They needed to go into an official hazardous waste disposal site, with all sorts of added costs and protections. Instead of doing this, the water district sent the clogged filters back up to the plant, where they were burned up in the ovens at night."

| This practice evolved, taking the form of an industrial-scale process using large amounts of compressed chlorine gas at central water treatment facilities. The same system was also introduced at much smaller sites, even down to the level of neighborhood swimming pools. By the late 1940s, chlorine gas had also become a major industrial feedstock in plastics and other chemical manufactuting. Railroad tank cars laden with compressed gas crisscrossed most industrialized countries. |

| It's estimated over 200 million Americans have at least marginally chlorinated water pumped into their homes every day for washing clothes, bathing, cooking, and drinking.
Chlorine may be effective at eliminating many pathogens, but its presence in drinking water does more harm than good. When chlorine is added to water, it bonds with other natural compounds to form Trihalo-methanes (THM's). These chlorine byproducts trigger the production of free radicals in the body, thereby causing extensive cell damage. |
