A friend is having a business interaction with a woman who is a naturopathic doctor. She has quit her occupation and gone into selling and promoting Kangen water, a $4000 machine.

My friend has been telling me for years that I am dehydrated and that I have a smell although I shower daily. She is what I call a super-sniffer.

The naturopath says that the smell is cells breaking down and because we are drinking processed sewer water, my body cannot get enough hydration to repair. Nor can it defend itself properly.

According to her, her lyme patients have responded, some quickly and some in a couple of years.

I will be away for awhile on vacation but if my friend can work a deal on the machine, I may get one.

Just to let you know. Yet another possibility.

Sheryl

Oh, no. No, no, no.

I really hate to read what you were told. I don't know that filter mentioned but for that price I'm not going to search. And the sales tactics are sad.


As far as I know the sewer water does not come back as drinking water. But, there are reasons why you should filter your water.


Yes, good water is vital. Filtered water is a nearly a requirement these days but you can get a fairly good countertop water filter for around $100.


Pure or Brita water filter pitchers are a decent compromise. They help some but don't necessary take out everything. Be sure to wash the pitcher thoroughly inside and out every few days. I've been horrified to see some pitchers at friends' houses.


Gunk will grow inside of those if they are not cleaned regularly. So, if you see green slime, don't drink the water. I've been known to - on more than one occasion and at more than one house - do a rush pitcher wash job as my friend went to the mail box or to switch a load of laundry. Filters need to be changed often, too.


A countertop filter that attaches to the faucet is much easier. But I have a filter pitcher in my suitcase.

There is a nice counter top water filter at Real Goods for $80. This is a very reputable place.
