WE LIVE IN A MICROBIOTIC ERA, and no discussion of water purification will be complete without asking both about the impact of changed microbiotic ecologies post-purification on the gut, nor about the effects of drinking water chemicals on our gut and body microbiomes. These chemicals include chlorine, chloramine, fluorine, and numerous toxins from pesticides and pharmaceuticals. View in LinkedIn

ZAPPING GOOD BACTERIA IN FOOD. "Depending on the dose, some or all of the microorganisms, bacteria (as well as "good bacteria" that inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria), and viruses present are destroyed, slowed down, or rendered incapable of reproduction." This is part of public resistance against ionizing radiation. Food is the canary in the coal mine for water. View in LinkedIn

ANTIBIOTICS CHANGE GUT MICROBIOME and have been blamed for obesity among other diseases due to shifts in the gut microbiome. Chlorine is the new antibiotic, but vanishingly few studies exist on the effects of chlorinated water on the gut ecology. View in LinkedIn

MICROBIOTA AND TOXINS. "Mounting evidence indicates that gut microbiota composition affects obesity and diabetes, as does exposure to environmental chemicals," including insecticides and herbicides which kill gut microbiota. The obvious dotted line includes chlorine and chloramine in drinking water. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3295356/ View in LinkedIn

ANECDOTAL STORY ABOUT IBS AND CHLORINE. "My irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) was greatly improved when I left the UK and visited Paris. I had considered many possible explanations for this, but had yet to find an answer ... I discovered that my local water utility company puts chloramine (as well as chlorine) in my tap drinking water." http://lnkd.in/dt83k3w View in LinkedIn

CHLORAMINE AND CHLORINE REMOVAL. "You can quickly and easily remove the chloramine from your drinking water simply by adding vitamin C to the water. You just need to add 10 mg of vitamin C to neutralize each liter of water." Certain activated carbon filter will also suffice. Chlorine is removed by letting water stand24 hours. http://lnkd.in/dt83k3w View in LinkedIn
