"In all respects his drawing was accurate, save one: he insisted that the site housed some sort of water purification plant. He even drew rotating devices into his drawings of the pools and added two water tanks on site. For several years, Hal and Russell had just assumed that Pat had got this one wrong. Too much noise to signal is how they usually phrased it. There was no water purification system there, and there certainly weren't any water tanks." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "When Pat 'saw' the site, he saw it as it had been 50 years ago, even though all evidence of the water purification plant had long since disappeared.1 One of the most astonishing aspects of the data amassed by Puthoff, Jahn and the other scientists is that they hadn't been at all sensitive to distance. A person doesn't have to be in close proximity to affect a REG machine. In at least a quarter of Jahn's studies, the participants were anywhere from next door to thousands of miles away." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"The bottom line on chlorine is that it pretty much needs to remain part of the city water purification process. That means that you need to remove it from your water at your house. 2Yes, if you're on the road and you're thirsty, picking up some bottled water at a 7-11 is a better alternative than drinking from the water fountain or buying some coffee or soda. Fluoride At the risk of being accused of being a Luddite, let's take a look at the use of fluoride in our drinking water. Exactly what is water fluoridation? In fact, all watet contains some fluoride." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"In the nineteenth century, there were no dramatic changes in working-class living conditions, but there were advances in water purification and sewage control. Beginning in 1900, there were great improvements in food hygiene, especially in the quality of milk. Pasteurization (after 1890), as well as the bottling and safe transport of milk, reduced significantly the incidence of gastroenteritis in infants and children." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"There was no water purification system there, and there certainly weren't any water tanks. Then, in early 1975, Russell received an Annual Report of the City of Palo Alto, a celebration of its centennial, containing some of the city's highlights over the last century. While flicking through it, Targ was flabbergasted to read: 'In 1913 a new municipal waterworks was built on the site of the present Rinconada Park.' It also included a photo of the site, which clearly showed two tanks." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Installing a whole house, water purification unit can eliminate up to 99% of water toxins. If a whole house water purification unit isn't financially feasible, install a lower priced under sink unit in both the bathroom and kitchen. Install shower and bath filters—remember your skin absorbs toxins! I recommend the Wellness® shower filter. If you have a chlorinated pool, convert it to chlorine free. I use the EcoSmarte™ pool conversion kit, which uses copper ions and ozone. The Wellness Carafe™ is a high-quality portable water purifier you can take with you anywhere to purify water." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

Water Purification Units GRANULATED ACTIVATED CARBON These units tend to be small and attach to the faucet head. Carbon has been used for centuries as a filtering substance. Activated carbon is specially treated carbon designed to increase the absorptive surface area. Impurities are bound by the carbon as the water passes through." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"Services in decline include capture fisheries, water purification, natural control of pest species, and the capacity of mangroves, wetlands, and other natural systems to buffer against hazards like storms and tsunamis. Only four ecosystem services have improved, three of them relating to food production. Subsequent volumes in the assessment effort include a look at four scenarios for the next half century, forecasting how we might shape the future with the choices we make today, ew Ecological Economics ¦UMi Since resources are finite, we should budget their use." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

The solutions described throughout this book are just puzzle pieces. They can be put together in a million different ways to create cities that offer billions of people real hope for healthy, prosperous lives." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Only these two methods of water purification can remove fluoride. If you decide on reverse osmosis, you will have to change the filter every three months, because the fluoride eats little holes in the filter, destroying its effectiveness. After you filter your water through the reverse osmosis filter you will also need to filter it once again through a regular filter. Isn't it nice that the government has made you go to all this trouble and expense just to have a drink of pure water? Several studies have found that adults just don't drink enough water." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"This fact is significant, since carbon filters are the most popular water purification units sold. To determine the safety of tap or well water, contact your local water company; most cities have quality assurance programs that perform routine analyses. Simply ask for the most recent water analysis. In addition, look in the Yellow Pages of your telephone book under "Water Purification & Filtration Equipment" for a list of local companies that sell water purification units. Many of their ads will mention free water testing." - Michael T. Murray, N.D., Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition (Get the book.)

"With this in mind, several innovators have designed systems for compact medical support, renewable power, water purification, and networking telecommunication. One of the biggest stumbling blocks for aid workers is finding a consistent, reliable source of power in places where power lines and stations have been destroyed —or places where there was no energy infrastructure to begin with. SkyBuilt Power's Mobile Power Station (MPS) solves this problem beautifully." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"It is highly recommended that you use a water purification system not only on your drinking water tap, but for the whole house, and if out to eat, avoid drinking restaurant tap water. Were chlorine and fluoride the only chemicals we had to worry about, that would be bad enough. But as discussed, food manufacturers and the chemical companies have decided to add thousands of synthetic chemicals to our food and beverages in the form of preservatives, dyes, flavorings, flavor enhancers, stabilizers and artificial sweeteners. You truly do not know what you are eating." - Craig Pepin-Donat, The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie (Get the book.)

"In the United States, waterborne bacteria are not as serious a problem due to extensive water purification. However, water is an excellent solvent, and many environmental pollutants are water-soluble. We need water to survive, but anything dissolved in it becomes part of us with each sip! Other toxins, such as many petrochemicals, are fat-soluble and enter our bodies through the foods we eat. And some, like asbestos fibers and auto exhaust, sneak in with the air we breathe. Many disease conditions can be attributed to an accumulation of toxins in the body." - James Occhiogrosso, N. D., Your Prostate, Your Libido, Your Life (Get the book.)

"Overall, I believe that chemical treatment is a last resort for water purification. Our goal at home or when traveling is to have germ-free water without chemicals or chlorine. Filtration is the best way to do this. I have discussed home filters. There are also filters designed for travel and camping. These are small units that have pumps so lake or river waters can be used. Since the recent outbreaks of giardiasis contracted by drinking the crystal clear, good-tasting mountain stream waters in our country, even wilderness packers need to carry some type of water purification." - Elson M.
