Understanding Distillation as an Effective Purification Process (Part 1)

Legionnaires Disease and Water
Some of us still remember the Summer of 1976 when an outbreak of a mysterious illness occurred during the U.S. Bi-Centennial Celebration at the Legionnaire’s Convention in Philadelphia.

Is my well water safe?
One of the comments that I often hear from farmers is “My well water is good.” My response is simply, “how do you know that it’s good?” Because it looks clear and tastes good? Or perhaps the State has come by and tested the well and told you that it’s good. A little “Water 101” is needed. Here’s … [Read more...]

How about some contaminated water with that organic tea?
As with everything else organic, there has been a lot of emphasis on organic tea lately. It’s always been funny to me though that very little is said about the purity of water that organic tea is made with. After all, a cup of tea is 99+% water. The unfortunate fact is that there are very real … [Read more...]

I returned to my homeland, New Zealand, recently. For more that 35 years my sister, Barbara, and her husband, John have lived on a 30,000 acre high-country ranch in the mountains there.
