The drinking water dilemma: Bottled vs. Tap Water
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007OK, by now most informed readers know that we need to drink at least 2 liters of water daily to maintain good health and energy. But lately, I have seen a lot of articles in the news and on blogs claiming that we should stop consuming bottled water, mainly because:
- Much of it comes from the tap anyway: The two biggest brands, Aquafina & Dasani actually are just filtered tap water.
- The costs of bottle transportation and waste are extra loads on our natural resources & environment.
But, the people who say that tap water is the same as bottled water are not considering a few important details:
- Not all bottled waters are the same:
Pepsi’s Aquafina is now the best-selling water brand in the U.S., while Coke’s Dasani ranks second. Just because Coke (Dasani) and Pepsi (Aquafina) have decided to cash in on the bottled water fad by just using tap water, doesn’t mean that there aren’t some REAL pure bottled waters out there. Water that comes from deep, pure, sources like Fiji, Trinity, and Voss.
- Water stores vibrational information:
The work of Dr. Masaru Emoto (popularized by the movie, What the Bleep Do We Know?!?) shows us that all water is not the same. Water carries a vibrational signature that changes depending on the natural (or un-natural) state of the source of the water, as well as human thoughts and emotion. Dr. Emoto’s work shows us that the vibration of the tap water in most major municipalities is far inferior to the vibration of water from more natural sources. Since our bodies are made up of 75% water, the vibration of the water we drink affects our overall energetic vibration, and therefore our levels of happiness and consciousness.
- Tap water has fluoride in it:
As we discussed in a previous post, fluoride accumulates in the pineal gland, impedes mental development, and makes people more docile.
- There’s Prozac in the water:
Even worse, scientists are now finding pharmaceuticals, such as Prozac & Paxil, in our tap water and tap water sources. The drugs are passing through human urine and sweat, and then going back to water treatment plants-who cannot handle the pharmaceutical content in the water. Take a look at the video below for some shocking information:
So, the extra bottles may cost more and require transportation and disposal, but I’m sticking to my bottles of Fiji for now. My selection of Fiji is based upon the book Water & Salt: The Essence of Life. For more information on this amazing book, check out the resources section of this blog.
What about the expense of Fiji & Voss, etc.? What can one do on a budget?
You can get a water distiller for $100 - $150 (readily available online) to get rid of all the impurities, including fluoride. There are lots of ways to improve the vibration of distilled water, as Dr. Emoto reveals in his book, Messages from Water (see resources section of this blog).
Dr. Emoto improved the vibration through positive thoughts, beautiful natural pictures, peaceful music, and writing down positive words like “Thank You” and “Love”. If you have never seen this work, take a look at the video below and see for yourself:
