What’s In That Water?

H. Ray Evers, M.D. was recently quoted: "the chances are that cardiovascular disease will be the cause of death in 3 out of 5 people and that this is contributed to by environmental pollution in water which can add to the harmful toxic build-up in body chemistry." Dr. Evers forewarns: "The bottom line is clear: of all the ways you could die, there is a 60 percent chance that cardiovascular disease will kill you."

Doctor Patrick Flanagan, named at age 17 as one of the Top 10 Scientists in America by Life Magazine, recently advised in his book ELIXIR OF THE AGELESS that: "Drinking tap water is a slow form of suicide, today's tap water is yesterday's toilet water, too thin to plow and too thick to drink. Chemicals (chlorine and fluorides) used to treat water are positive charged cationic electrolytes that are potentially destructive to the colloidal balance when ingested into the human system. As one result, people die...inch by inch, not really knowing what is wrong!"

Some forty-three percent of the nation’s community water systems are in violation of federal safe drinking water laws. 4 More than twenty-three million of us are slurping down fecal matter, radiation, industrial chemicals, and other “taste enhancers” 5

Household cleaners:

Fifty-two thousand household product-related hospital emergency room admissions were reported in 1990. 3

Excess cancer deaths occur among homemakers when compared to woman who work outside the home.4

A toxic chemical, dichlorobenzene, used widely in room deodorizers and moth repellents, has been found in the blood of over ninety-five percent of children and adults tested throughout the country. 11

One of the most common chemicals found in household cleaning products is butyl cellosolve, which is toxic to the blood cells, kidneys and liver.7 It is absorbed though the skin. 8 The nation’s most popular brand of window cleaner, Windex, contains butyl; cellosolve, but is not on the label. 9, 10 This stuff can do a lot more (to you) than just clean your windows.

In one decade, there has been a 42% increase in asthma (29% for men; 82% for women-the higher rate for women is believed to be due to women’s longer exposure times to household chemicals) Source: (CDC )
