Fluoride in your Toothpaste, Fluoride in your Drinking Water

Fluoride FACTS

• Fluoride Is A Carcinogen
Fluoride was found to be an equivocal carcinogen by the National Cancer Institute Toxicological Program.1
Further studies by the New Jersey Department of Health have now confirmed a 6.9 fold increase in bone cancer in young males.2
Earlier studies had found a 5% increase in all types of cancers in fluoridated communities.3
• Fluoride Increases Hip Fractures
Drinking fluoridated water will double the number of hip fractures for both older men and women.4 5
Extremely low levels of water fluoridation 0.1 ppm still produced statistically significant increased hip fractures. (Bordeaux Study JAMA 1994)
• Fluoride Increases Infertility
Infertility in women was found to increase with water fluoridation.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists reported a close correlation between decreasing total fertility rates in women between ages of 10 and 49, and increasing fluoride levels.
They also reported that a review of all of the animal studies done to date shows that fluoride adversely affects fertility in most animal species.6
• Fluoride Increases Fluorosis
Opaque white spots and brown ugly teeth caused by fluoride is called Fluorosis.
Fluorosis currently affects one out of five or more children in this nation although it is rarely seen in California.
California is the least fluoridated state with less than 16% of the population drinking artificially fluoridated water.
• Fluoride Does NOT Reduce Tooth Decay
Fluoride is not effective in reducing tooth decay. No correlation was found between the level of fluoride in water and dental caries.7 8 9 10 11
There appears to be a genetically related increase in tooth decay for Hispanics, Indians, Native Americans and Asians.
Decay is related to the educational and economic level of the parents.12 13 14
• Fluoride Is Unapproved By FDA
The FDA considers fluoride an unapproved new drug for which there is no proof of safety or effectiveness.
The FDA does not consider fluoride an essential nutrient.
• Fluoride Is Highly Toxic
The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology has classified Fluoride as an unapproved dental medicament due to its high toxicity.

Cora Kasperski of Laguna Fitness Shares Why She Uses Ionized Alkaline Water at her Gym

Ronnie Ruiz, CEO of Chanson Water USA, Inc. visits Laguna Fitness, a gym owned by Cora Kasperski, professional fitness body-builder and model.

Cora shares why she drinks ionized alkaline water, and why she gives it to her students and clients.

The Hangover Cure

Ionized Water Directly Addresses Six of the Major Factors of Hangovers: Toxicity, Dehydration, Acid pH balance, Free Radicals, Stress and Cortisol

In Japan ionized alkaline water is known as the “Hangover Cure.” They have found that drinking ionized alkaline water along with or after consuming alcohol reduces or eliminates hangovers. As a result many bars in Japan serve ionized alkaline water.

A study at the Department of Environmental Medical Biology, Wonju College of Medicine, Yonsei University, Republic of Korea found that drinking alkaline, ionized water has an effect of alcohol detoxification by its antioxidant mechanism and has potentiality for relief of ethanol-induced hangover symptoms.

Toxicity - Ionized water provides powerful, yet gentle detoxification
flushing acidic waste products from the body, cleansing at a deep cellular level.

Dehydration – Alkaline ionized water passes through your tissues more easily because of its smaller molecular clusters, and so hydrates the body quickly. In fact, ionized water is up to six times more hydrating than conventional water.

Acid PH Balance - Drinking ionized alkaline water is one of the most powerful ways to quickly restore and maintain your body’s pH balance for optimal health and well being.

Free Radicals – Ionized alkaline water possesses millions of antioxidants, rapidly detoxifying your body and providing one of the most powerful sources of anti-aging antioxidants available.

Stress and Cortisol – Ionized alkaline water helps to restore balance in the body and lower stress and cortisol levels.

Farm Runoffs Contaminating Drinking Water

Agricultural runoff is the single largest source of water pollution in the nation’s rivers and streams, according to the E.P.A. An estimated 19.5 million Americans fall ill each year from waterborne parasites, viruses or bacteria, including those stemming from human and animal waste, according to a study published last year in the scientific journal Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology.

In California, up to 15 percent of wells in agricultural areas exceed a federal contaminant threshold, according to studies. Major waterways like the Chesapeake Bay have been seriously damaged by agricultural pollution, according to government reports.

In Arkansas and Maryland, residents have accused chicken farm owners of polluting drinking water. In 2005, Oklahoma’s attorney general sued 13 poultry companies, claiming they had damaged one of the state’s most important watersheds.

It is often difficult to definitively link a specific instance of disease to one particular cause, like water pollution. Even when tests show that drinking water is polluted, it can be hard to pinpoint the source of the contamination.

Water Therapy - What they say.

Since diseases first began to plague the earth, man has continuously looked for the perfect medicine to cure all the sickness. At the same time, man is also looking for a way to prevent all the possible sickness for people to live longer and experience life to the fullest.

These ambitions of man have led to the development of medicine as we know it. Surgeons have become more specialized and expert in very sensitive areas of the human body such as the heart and the brain. These people can now operate without any fuss on a brain of a human or even the live pumping heart of man in the operating room. At the same time, there are also alternative medicines being developed and introduced to the public such as herbal capsules and herbal therapies.

There is one alternate therapy being introduced to the public and being constantly supported by various practitioners. This therapy is practically free, safe and can be done without the help of any specialist. The therapy is called Water Therapy.

Water Therapy is really simple. You drink 1.5 litres or roughly six glasses of water in one go, first thing in the morning. You do that even before brushing your teeth or washing your face. You must then fast for at least an hour from any food or drink and that’s it. You may wonder why 1.5 liters. It’s the estimated amount of water you can take so that your body can be cleansed with the use of water. The proponents of this therapy believe that it will clean all toxins found in your body and release them via sweat or urinal excretions.

Before we look into its effects, let’s consider first the dangers of this therapy. People have shown hesitation to this kind of therapy since there is a potential of water intoxication – a fatal disease that can happen from drinking water. This can be prevented by drinking clean / pure water i.e. alkaline ionized water and give intervals in drinking the whole 1.5 liters i.e. you could drink 4 glasses and wait for 2 minutes before drinking the balance 2. People have also shown hesitation since drinking 1.5 liters will make you urinate several times in an hour following the water therapy. This is true. However, doing water therapy daily; would cause your body to eventually adjust to the water intake.

The proponents of this therapy claim that several illnesses can be controlled with it including diabetes, acidity, constipation, hypertension etc.

However, if you are seriously ill, make sure to contact your physician / doctor first and get their confirmation before chugging down this volume of water. Sometimes there are patients who are advised against drinking too much water as it would be harmful to their health. But if you’re not a special patient and see no complications in your body, it might just work for you.

Symptoms of Excess Acidity and How Alkaline Water Helps

Ionized water helps to balance your body’s pH. In general, our bodies are out of balance and have become too acidic. Feeling over-tired, weak, restless, frustrated, stiff, overwhelmed, unfocused or confused are often early warning signs that our bodies are no longer able to cope with their toxic overload.

Alkaline ionized water is the perfect solution to this. Since it is electrically charged, it also flushes out harmful toxins from the body, and prevents it from free radical damage. Excess acidity in the body is an invitation to disease. Alkaline water helps to neutralize this over acidity and brings about an internal pH balance which is slightly alkaline, the way nature inteded it to be.

Therefore; a good water ionizer is the need of the day.

Oxygenate for better health

In our modern world oxygen levels in the body are depleted due to stress, environmental pollution, diet and lack of exercise. Oxygen helps to destroys cancer cells, removes waste, carries nutrients and also helps in resisting bacteria and viruses that invade your body. Drinking a glass of alkaline ionized water from your water ionzier first thing in the morning is a wonderful way to greet every day and rehydrate your brain and body.

Natural Spring Water or Reconstituted Tap Water?

Recent allegations against the Coca-Cola Company and its brand name of bottled water, Dasani, have publicly highlighted one of the biggest misconceptions about the quality of bottled water. Coca-Cola, advertising its bottled water as “pure, still water” is now being investigated for misleading consumers about the true nature of the contents of its bottles. Rather than deriving its water from natural springs, Coca-Cola had actually been filling its Dasani bottles with purified tap water.

Of course, this problem of reconstituted tap water in Dasani bottles would not be so large if it was an isolated incident. Unfortunately, the process of bottling tap water is not limited to the Coca-Cola Company. In 1999, the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) published the results of a four-year study in which researchers tested more than 1,000 samples of 103 brands of bottled water. These researchers found that,

“An estimated 25 percent or more of bottled water is really just tap water in a bottle—sometimes further treated, sometimes not.”

In one case, a brand of bottled water, advertised as “pure, glacier water” was found to be taken from a municipal water supply while another brand, flaunted as “spring water” was pumped from a water source next to a hazardous waste dumping site. While “purified tap water” is arguably safer and purer than untreated tap water (depending upon the purification methods), a consumer should expect to receive something more than reconstituted tap water for the exceptional prices of bottled water.

If bottled water does not necessarily offer purer water than tap water, surely it provides a better tasting water product, right? The answer to this question is no. Bottled water does not always taste better than tap water.

In an interesting study conducted by Showtime television, the hosts found that 75% of tested New York City residents actually preferred tap water over bottled water in a blind taste test.

While taste is certainly highly subjective, this study shows that bottled water essentially holds nothing over tap water. In many cases, bottled water is no purer than tap water, and it may not even taste better.

Water Ionizers currently provide the best and healthiest solution to the problems of both bottled water and tap water. Find out more:

Ignorance is Bliss? Not any more.

Water is an incredibly important aspect of our daily lives. Every day we drink water, cook with water, bathe in water, and participate in many other activities involving water.

However, even with all of the importance water holds in our lives, many of us know very little about the water we use each day. We drink tap water, enjoying the convenience and cost-effectiveness of this practice, yet, we fail to recognize the serious threat this water may pose to our health. Those who are willing to forgo the convenience of tap water and indulge in bottled water often know very little about the contents of that water and simply trust that bottled water must be better than tap water. Even conscientious consumers, who wisely attempt to treat their own water in an effort to ensure the healthfulness of that water, often know little about the many home water treatment options now available.

A water ionizer turns your tap water into electrically charged alkaline ionized water. This water has a higher pH and helps to remove excess acidity from the body. Bottled water on the other hand are quite acidic and exacerbate the over acidic conditions. Alkaline ionized water is also a powerful natural antioxidant and helps in fighting free radicals. It is also up to six times more hydrating than tap or bottled water. You can no longer afford to remain ignorant about what water you consume and where it is sourced from.

10 Reasons to use a Shower Filter

  1. The EPA has stated that every household in the United States has elevated levels of chloroform in the air due to chlorine released from showering water.
  2. Tap water often contains at least as much, if not more, chlorine than is recommended for use in swimming pools.
  3. More chlorine enters the body through dermal absorption and inhalation while showering than through drinking tap water.
  4. The chlorine in showering water has harsh, drying effects on skin and hair.
  5. Skin pores widen while showering, making dermal absorption of chlorine and other chemicals possible.
  6. The chlorine in showering water can cause rashes and other skin irritations when absorbed by the skin.
  7. Chemicals in showering water vaporize at a much faster rate than the actual water. Thus, the steam in a shower contains a much higher concentration of chemicals than the water itself.
  8. Inhaled chemicals make their way into the bloodstream much more quickly than ingested chemicals, without the added filtration benefits of digestion.
  9. More water contaminants are released into the air of a home from the shower than from any other source.
  10. Chlorine is a suspected cause of breast cancer. Women suffering from breast cancer are all found to have 50-60 percent more chlorine in their breast tissue than healthy women.

 

We Recommend the Chanson Spa Shower Filter system.
