Reverse Osmosis Removes Inorganic, Unhealthy Minerials From The Water

Background

Ever notice the buildup of minerals around your shower head, sink drain, water hose, etc? Ever tried to scrub that off with just water and not by using vinegar, ClR or some other type of caustic household cleaner product? Ever use tap water in your iron and then see small white “flecks” or “chunks” of mineral deposits that fall out onto your clothing during ironing? Ever notice clogging in the jets that spray your windshield when you use tap water instead of windshield fluid in your automobile?

This water corrodes and clogs your household’s pipes, valves and filters. Likewise, your body includes a delicate series of pipes, valves and filters in the form of arteries / veins, heart and kidneys / liver. Though it may clean your shower head, you certainly can’t down a shot of CLR every day to clean out your body’s organs and pathways. So why subject your body’s system to any more work than it already has to perform to properly filter an additional unusable substance being put into it?

Does Your Body Get Minerals From Water

Water contains only inorganic minerals which can actually be detrimental to human health. Our bodies have a hard time processing inorganic minerals and what we cannot absorb will be stored in our tissues and become toxic. According to the WQA and WHO  (Water Quality Association – World Health Organization) we get the vast majority of our minerals from food not from drinking water.

Where Does Your Body Get It’s Minerals

We humans get the vast majority of our minerals from the food we eat, not the water we drink. For example, 1 glass of orange juice has the same amount of minerals as 30 gallons of tap water. You would get more minerals from 1 vitamin tablet than you will from drinking a month’s supply of tap water. It would take a bathtub of water a day to receive enough minerals for our body. Do you think your doctor would prescribe for you to take a “bathtub” of water a day if you are deficient in minerals?

In order for a mineral to be of any use to the body it must be presented in a form in which it can be used. That form involves an association with an organic (carbon based) molecule. Carbon based molecules are to be found in living systems, and are not found in the ground which is where mineral water comes from. Thus, your minerals should be coming from your diet in the form they can best be assimilated and used by the body.

Water from the ground comes with minerals, but these minerals are in salt form. When salt is presented to the body (with rare exceptions such as sodium chloride) it must be either stored or excreted. A good example is CaCO3 (calcium carbonate). Carbonate is not a sufficiently complex organic molecule and therefore cannot properly contribute its calcium to living systems. The calcium comes our instead in toxic form (with a positive charge) and precipitates by forming other salts. Common locations for precipitation of calcium are the lens of the eye (cataracts), the kidneys (kidney stones) and the walls of arteries (arteriosclerosis).

Takes Out The Bad Minerals And Leaves The Good

Some water filter manufacturers and salespeople will tell you that their system will take out the bad minerals and leave the good minerals. There is no real purification method that can be selective and leave you only the “good stuff”.When filters leave you the “good stuff”, they actually leave you”most” of the stuff in the water. “Most of the stuff” meaning besides calcium and magnesium, they also leave fluoride, arsenic, hard metals, radioactive materials, bacteria, viruses, chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs.

Conclusions

Let us not forget the fact that many natural minerals found in water are actually toxic and radioactive in nature and are known to cause cancer. In this era of pollution where water contains much more disease-causing contaminants than beneficial minerals, it makes sense that the water we drink should be as pure and clean as possible. A good water filtration system installed in your home is the only way to proactively monitor and ensure the quality and safety of your drinking water. Reverse Osmosis water purification systems can remove 90 – 99% of contaminants from city and well water and will deliver healthy drinking water for you and your family.
