Dangerous levels of the carcinogenic chemical chromium-6 can be found in the tap water drunk by 218 million Americans, a new report has revealed.
The toxic chemical was brought into the spotlight by Erin Brockovich when she fought a power company accused of leaking the chemical into tap water supplies in California.
On Monday, figures released by the Environmental Working Group showed 50 states are exposed to unsafe levels of chromium-6 or hexavalent chromium. Continue reading
When basic human needs are ignored, illness and disease often ensue. This is the case with hydration; not consuming enough water can have dire and sometimes hidden consequences on our bodies.
Increasing your daily water intake can work wonders for your health. Continue reading
“It’s just the Flint of the Iceberg“ ~ J.B.
More than six million people in the US drink and use water that is contaminated with deadly toxins, a new study reveals.
Life-threatening concentrations of a carcinogenic man-made chemical – normally used to fight fire, insulate pipes, and stain-proof furniture – have been found in public water tanks across America.
The most at-risk states are (in order): California, New Jersey, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Georgia, Minnesota, Arizona, Massachusetts, and Illinois. Continue reading
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently proposed rule changes that would permit drinking water to become hundreds of thousands of times more radioactive than currently allowed. The rule would permit water so radioactive that it would expose those drinking it to the equivalent of 250 chest X-rays per year.
Environmental groups immediately condemned the proposal. Continue reading
Beginning in the 1960’s, America’s municipal water supplies began to be supplemented with fluoride, with the supposed aim of increasing the country’s dental health. Shortly after, further fluoride supplementation in the form of ingestible lozenges, tablets and drops became available through dentists and over the counter. Although water fluoridation and the sale of over-the-counter fluoride “supplements” continues today, the growing movement to educate about the dangers of this toxic element that is linked to higher breast cancer risk among others things is gaining speed.

Magnesium deficiency is often misdiagnosed because it does not show up in blood tests – only 1% of the body’s magnesium is stored in the blood.
We thirst for magnesium rich water.
Most doctors and laboratories don’t even include magnesium status in routine blood tests. Thus, most doctors don’t know when their patients are deficient in magnesium, even though studies show that the majority of Americans are deficient in magnesium. Consider Dr. Norman Shealy’s statements, “Every known illness is associated with a magnesium deficiency” and that, “magnesium is the most critical mineral required for electrical stability of every cell in the body. A magnesium deficiency may be responsible for more diseases than any other nutrient.”
The truth he states exposes a gapping hole in modern medicine that explains a good deal about iatrogenic death and disease. Continue reading
“Mandrake!? Water – that’s what I’m getting at – water. Water is the source of all life. 7/10ths of this Earth’s surface is water. Why, do you realize that 70% of you is water? And as human beings – you and I need fresh – pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids. Are you beginning to understand?”
“Mandrake, have you ever wondered why I only drink distilled water or rain water – and only pure grain alcohol? Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation? Fluoridation of water? Do you know what it is? Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we’ve ever had to face?” – Sterling Hayden as Gen. Jack D. Ripper; Dr. Strangelove; Columbia Pictures 1964 Continue reading
… and for the first time since 1962, is lowering their recommended level of fluoride in drinking water.
The CDC reports that around 40% percent of Americans have dental fluorosis, a condition referring to changes in the appearance of tooth enamel — from chalky-looking lines and splotches to dark staining and pitting — caused by long-term ingestion of fluoride during the time teeth are forming. Continue reading
A new documentary exposing the ugly truth behind the phosphate fertilizer industry will soon be available on DVD. The film, titled Fluoride: Poison on Tap, features testimony from dozens of professionals who are extremely knowledgeable about the harmful effects of fluoride, including Natural News Editor Mike Adams, health and wellness expert Dr. Edward Group and preventive dentist David Kennedy.
The film dives into the filthy processes of the phosphate fertilizer industry, which provides municipalities across the U.S. with fluoride, or hydrofluorosilicic acid rather, a hazardous waste byproduct of the commercial fertilizer industry. Continue reading
If you’re connected to natural health circles, you’ve probably been privy to a lot of the buzz about fluoride (it’s a subject that just doesn’t seem to permanently go away). Years ago it began as concern among health-conscious people about the substance’s presence in toothpaste. Apparently, toothpaste manufacturers were paying attention; In the past it was nearly impossible to find toothpastes free of sodium fluoride, but luckily that trend has reversed. Continue reading
In 2014, Israel ended the process of fluoridating water. Israel joined most of the other wealthy Western countries in not adding fluoride to the public water supply. In fact, over 97% of the population of Europe lives in a non-fluoridated area.
Why is Israel stopping the process of fluoridation of the water supply? The answer is simple: The Israeli health ministry realizes that there is no data that adding fluoride to the water supply has any health benefit and they understand that water fluoridation is harmful. Continue reading
Around 1945 local water treatment facilities began to add sodium fluoride to our water supply.
The first thing you should know is that the fluoride they put in our drinking water is not a pharmaceutical grade additive.
It is an industrial waste byproduct.
As aluminum production increased in the first half of the twentieth century, it became necessary to find somewhere to put the fluoride. Manufacturers could no longer get away with dumping it into rivers or landfills, because it was poisoning crops and making livestock sick. Francis Frary, chief scientist for ALCOA, had an idea. He commissioned Gerald Cox at the Mellon Institute, to conduct research regarding the benefits of adding fluoride to the water supply. The Mellon Institute was frequently hired by big business to produce research that supported their industries, and for several decades they produced research showing that asbestos was safe and did not cause cancer. Hmmm. Continue reading
Editor’s NOTE: Today, September 4, 2013, in preparation for Life, Liberty and Your Good Health, I had made decisions to go in an entirely different direction for the program. During the opening music for the program, due to the current situation in Syria, I made an instant switch in the direction of my commentary; first to share the following from Mike Adams at Natural News, and subsequently to give a bit of a history lesson; one which I have shared many times over the past nearly 14 years. After reading this commentary, we invite you to read Fluoride, Teeth, and the Atomic Bomb. These are the ties that bind.
For further information and commentary on the issue of fluoridation, we invite you to peruse all of our current offerings on the topic, by visiting Water, Water, Everywhere… (Ed.) Continue reading
Several international studies to date have demonstrated that fluoride added to water is causing numerous health complications, including reduced IQ ratings among children. The notion that drinking fluoridated water contributes to healthier teeth has not been proven, and is slowing disintegrating into thin air. As a matter of fact, there is more evidence that fluoride is harmful rather than helpful
There has been controversy over the activity of adding fluoride to municipal water supplies and elsewhere, but not enough. The seriousness of this issue is more than what most realize, which is why most developed nations refuse to fluoridate their water. Actually, Israel is the latest nation to completely halt water fluoridation, mandatory and voluntary.
Fluoridation ranks with GMO’s, chemically tainted toxic foods, and vaccinations as crimes against humanity. You’ll soon see why implementing some sort of fluoride detox protocol is so important. Continue reading
