Earlier this week I talked about lead contamination found in schools in Camden, NJ. I also shared with you my experiences in the early 1990’s with drinking water in Chinese primary schools.

Selenium in the Water: A Case for Balance
In the mid-1980’s I did a television interview with Carl Decker, our Distributor with the local TV station in Fresno, California.

Drinking Water in Schools

The Problem of Lead in the Drinking Water
About 40 years ago when I worked for a major toiletries company, we had a special task force with the mission to change away from a lead toothpaste tube.

Arsenic and Unintended Consequences
A significant study reported in recent issue of the British Medical journal “Lancet” and largely overlooked in the Western media focused on perhaps the largest example of mass poisoning in history. It is estimated that as many as 77 million people in impoverished Bangladesh (directly to the east of … [Read more...]
Why our water distillers ROCK! (part 4)
This week we are focusing on a 40 year old water distiller that came into our service center. We fixed it up and it went out looking and functioning like a brand new distiller. We calculated that it produced about 43,800 gallons of distilled water during this period! Today I want to compare this to … [Read more...]
Why our water distillers ROCK! (part 2)
Yesterday we talked about the 40 year old water distiller that was in for service. Today, I want to take a look the real protection that this machine offered to its owners… We estimate that over its life this water distiller produced approximately 43,800 gallons of distilled water. Let’s assume … [Read more...]
Why our water distillers ROCK! (part 1)
Here’s a picture of one of our new water distillers…just kidding. This is a picture of a water distiller that we made about 40 years ago. It came in a few days ago for some service, we cleaned it up and it’s going out looking as good as new! We estimate that over the past 40 years this machine has … [Read more...]
Is my water contaminated?
One of the most common questions we get about distilled water is “Is my water contaminated?” We know that water is universally contaminated, but the contaminants differ wildly from location to location. When people say they want minerals in the water do they know what minerals they want and in … [Read more...]
