Re: OT> Water well safety...filters? contamination?

[Guest guest]

Hi, I can't give you advise on a filter, but here is some info on

testing your water as to know what you are dealing with. I contacted

DDI because my daughter tested very high in copper. Here is the info

on their water tests:

Thank you for your inquiry about the water testing done at Doctor's

Data.

We offer 3 water tests -

- Fluoride only, $49

- Standard test, testing for 17 metals and pH level, $99

- Comprehensive test, testing for 17 metals, pH level and fluoride,

$129

If you wish to test for only lead in your water, this can be done for

$50.

We will be happy to send you a brochure with details concerning the

test and

an order form to mail in. Or you may call Client Services at 1-800-

323-2784

to place a prepaid order for a kit. Please advise how you would like

to

receive

the information.

Sherry,

I didn't realize they tested water either. It was Andy Cutler that

gave me advice for my daughter's situation and told me about the DDI

water test.

No prescription is needed, just contact DDI directly.
