Most people are unaware that the kind of fluids we drink is one of major contributors to long-standing skin disorders like psoriasis.

Municipal Water

Virtually all municipal water systems in North America are processed waters drawn from lakes, rivers and aquifers.

Chlorine is added to the waters to kill pathogens, and fluoride is added to supposedly ‘prevent’ cavities in our teeth. Unfortunately, both chemicals are toxic to our health. When you add the ‘neuro-toxin’ lead to the mix from pipes in older homes, we create a triple threat to our well being that is frightening.

In March 2008, CBS News reported that low concentrations of a vast array of pharmaceuticals have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans.

And, recent studies found an alarming effect on human cells and wildlife after persistent exposure to random combinations of low levels of pharmaceuticals.

Water filters can remove some toxic elements such as chlorine and lead to varying degrees. But, sadly, many dangerous items cannot be adequately filtered at your tap or the water treatment plant!

No one, should be more concerned about exposure to a cocktail of toxins and drugs, than those suffering from ‘immune system’ disorders like psoriasis.

Recommendation: Avoid drinking tap water. There are healthier options.

Bottled Waters Made From Faucet Water

Every individual troubled by psoriasis should stay away from bottled waters reprocessed from municipal water systems. Examples are…

Aquafina – reverse osmosis filtered ‘municipal water’ purified with charcoal filtration and ozonation. Available in carbonated and flavored varieties sweetened with sucralose*.

Dasani – reverse osmosis filtered ‘tap water’ with trace amounts of synthetic minerals added. Available in flavored varieties sweetened with sucralose*.

*sucralose – controversial chlorinated sugar. It is NOT natural.

Waters Treated by Distillation and Reverse Osmosis

Oddly enough, drinking distilled or reverse osmosis water (with the intention of protecting us from toxins) may have been our own undoing.

These waters are lacking any minerals, and produce a ‘leaching’ effect in our body of such important minerals as calcium.

And, don’t let any water sales person tell you that distilled or reverse osmosis is the ‘best’ water to drink. Back in the 1950s, they used to use distilled water to top up car batteries, along with a WARNING “not fit for human consumption”.

How the times have changed!

“The things we must NEVER add to our drinks. If you do, you’ll derail any chance of successfully treating your psoriasis.”

To your health, naturally!
