No. That's a myth commonly used by folks trying to sell non-RO filters. I distill my own water for making colloidal silver, and the residue from a single gallon of tapwater is a miniscule amount. Drinking water is a minor source of minerals compared to NT-grade traditional foods. As long as your diet has sufficient minerals, your body won't be depleted of minerals. And, if your food is deficient in minerals, even non-RO tap water will not likely make up for the dietary deficiency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I am researching this question as my state may mandate fluoridation (idiots!!!). RO works but wastes a lot of water -- 4 to 9 gallons per one gallon or drinkable water I've read. I don't know if that's the case for the Radiant Life RO system ($1500). Do some searches and you will find much cheaper filters that remove a lot of the fluoride but not all. Another thing I'm researching is rain harvesting, but i'm not sure how it works in winter during freezes. I would definitely get the spring water. Problem is you get fluoride by bathing too. The chlorine is easy to remove -- just put a filter on faucets. I put on a shower filter and my psoriasis (or eczema or rosacea or whatever it is), cleared up immediately. Now that we have moved and i haven't put it on yet, skin problems are back. Fluoride is much, much trickier to remove and has many potential health consequences. The whole water fluoridation thing really has me befuddled. I wish i had advice for your baby, poor thing. I have an ND that's big into muscle testing. I have to say, it seems to work as a diagnosis. You may look for someone like that in your area.
