13 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Drink Tap Water

I only drink pure soft water!                                  
 
TAP WATER – What makes tap water unsafe for drinking?
The Hidden Dangers of Tap Water
 
1. Arsenic
Arsenic is a natural metalloid chemical usually present in groundwater. It poses health problems when taken at some dangerous amounts.
 
This chemical is present in residential tap water through agricultural or industrial pollution or a private well.
 
Arsenic poisoning may lead to the following health issues:

• Partial Paralysis

• Numbness In Hands And Feet

• Vomiting, Nausea, Stomach Pain, And Diarrhea

• Discoloration Of The Skin

• Blindness

 
Arsenic Poisoning Definition: also known as arsenicosis; a condition where an individual consumes a dangerous level of arsenic from drinking groundwater or tap water.
 
2. Chlorine
This is also another naturally-occurring chemical element that does not only kill bacteria and germs but also causes damage to the human body when taken in dangerous amounts orally and through inhalation.
 
When chlorine enters the body, it reacts with water and produces corrosive acids. People exposed to excessive chlorine may experience the following health issues:

• Chronic Cough

• Breathing Difficulty

• Chronic Sore Throat

• Chest Tightness

• Airway Irritation

 
3. Fluoride
Fluoride is a mineral present in the teeth and bones and in the air, rocks, plants, soil, and water.
 
Although naturally-occurring in the human body, excess amounts of fluoride from tap water pose some health issues, such as fluorosis and severe skeletal problems.
 
Fluorosis Definition: mild discoloration of the teeth due to excessive amounts of fluoride.
 
4. Heavy Metals
Heavy metals are known for their potential toxicity especially in environmental contexts. Mercury, lead, copper, chromium, cadmium, and aluminum all pollute tap water.
 
If taken excessively for a long time, these heavy metals found in tap water can harm your health. Aluminum, for example, can increase risks of the following health conditions:

• Brain Deformities

• Parkinson’s Disease

• Dementia

• Alzheimer’s Disease

• Lead Can Damage The Kidneys And Increase The Risk Of Having High Blood Pressure

 
5. Herbicides and Pesticides

These chemicals used to get rid of insects and control unwanted plants are toxic in nature. They can sometimes sneak into water supplies, especially in groundwater of agricultural areas.
 
When taken into the human body through tap water, these chemicals can cause the following:

• Eye And Skin Irritation

• Headache

• Allergic Sensitization

• Extreme Weakness

 
6. Water Softening
Water softening is the process of removing heavy ions that clog up plumbing, such as calcium and magnesium, from water.
 
But, there is a downside to this process – it takes away natural minerals essential for the body. Aside from this, water softening replaces the ions removed with sodium chloride, which, when ingested in large amounts, can cause:

• Respiratory Distress

• Convulsions

• Hypernatremia (A Condition Where There Is Too Much Sodium In The Body That Can Lead To Excessive Thirst)

• Vomiting

• Gastrointestinal Tract Irritation

 
RELATED: Alkaline water is NOT better than tap water! It should NEVER be consumed.
 
We are counselled to drink pure soft water!
 
7. Nitrates
These inorganic compounds are commonly present in processed meats, such as hot dogs, bacon, and ham, functioning as preservatives. They are also present in tap water because they naturally occur in the air, soil, and water.
 
The most controversial health effect of excess nitrates is methemoglobinemia, a blood disorder that involves an abnormal amount of methemoglobin. When the body produces too much methemoglobin, it begins to replace the normal hemoglobin count, which can lead to a lack of oxygen supply in the cells.
 
Methemoglobin Definition: A type of hemoglobin that is unable to carry oxygen in the blood; results in slate-gray, cyanotic skin color.
 
8. Radon
Radon is a natural gas present in the air and occurs in water tapped by wells. When groundwater passes through rocks with uranium, it releases radon into the water.
If your tap water has radon, you may be at risk of stomach cancer or internal organ cancers.
Uranium Definition: It is a kind of heavy metal that is an abundant source of concentrated energy.
 
9. Diethyl Phthalate
Diethyl phthalate is a colorless liquid typically used to make flexible plastics. This compound can sneak into groundwater from landfill leaks.
Drinking tap water contaminated with diethyl phthalate can lower sperm quality and count, disrupt sex hormone levels, and alter genital developments.
 
10. Bacteria
Bacteria under a microscope | Reasons Why You Shouldn't Drink Tap Water
Escherichia coli, for example, has been an issue in dirty water. It is an indicator that water has animal waste or sewage contamination.
 
E. coli can cause health concerns like:

• Nausea and vomiting

• Abdominal tenderness, pain, and cramping

• Diarrhea

• Legionella is a type of bacteria that can affect the lungs and cause localized infections.

• Salmonella can cause the following health issues:

• Food poisoning

• Typhoid fever

• Gastroenteritis (the inflammation of the intestines and stomach as a result of viral infections or bacterial toxins)

 
11. Phosphates
These are compounds of phosphate ions commonly present in fertilizers as plant nutrients and in detergents as a water softener. The presence of phosphates in water promotes excessive algae growth that makes the water dirty when algae die.
 
Phosphates enter water systems when dissolved rocks mix into groundwater. High levels of phosphates in the body can put people at high risk of hardened arterial walls.
 
12. Pharmaceutical Drugs
Small amounts of pharmaceutical drugs, such as antibiotics, mood stabilizers, and birth control pills, are also present in some tap water systems. These drugs get into the water when some people flush them down their toilets when not needed anymore or pass some amounts of drugs through urine and feces. 
 
13. Dioxins
Dioxins are toxic chemicals not produced or commercially used in the country. They are contaminants produced in combustion processes, like cigarette smoking and forest fire, and discharges from chemical factories.
 
When released in the environment, these chemicals linger around that we can breathe them in the air or drink them from tap water. Excess amounts of dioxins can cause reproductive difficulties and increase the risk of developing cancer when consumed in tap water for a long period.
 
The hidden dangers of drinking tap water have been exposed. You now have a better understanding of how the water poses mild-to-severe health problems.

The levels of drugs present in the water might be low, but it is still unsure whether the levels are low enough to discount harmful health effects.

13 Problems With Pork

BIBLE:

Leviticus 11:7 – And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

Isaiah 66:17 – They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.

SOP:
“The tissues of the swine swarm with parasites. Of the swine God said, "It is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass." Deuteronomy 14:8. This command was given because swine's flesh is unfit for food. Swine are scavengers, and this is the only use they were intended to serve. Never, under any circumstances, was their flesh to be eaten by human beings. It is IMPOSSIBLE for the flesh of any living creature to be wholesome when filth is its natural element and when it feeds upon every detestable thing.” {CCh 229.8}

“PORK, although one of the most common articles of diet, is one of the most injurious. God did not prohibit the Hebrews from eating swine's flesh merely to show His authority, but because it was not a proper article of food for man. It would fill the system with scrofula, and especially in that warm climate produced leprosy, and disease of various kinds. Its influence upon the system in that climate was far more injurious than in a colder climate…. Swine's flesh would not be palatable to the taste in its natural state. It is made agreeable to the appetite by high seasoning, which makes a very bad thing worse. Swine's flesh above all other flesh meats, produces a bad state of the blood. Those who eat freely of pork can but be diseased.”  {CCh 230.1}

“Especially would the fine, sensitive nerves of the brain become enfeebled and so beclouded that sacred things would not be discerned, but be placed upon the low level with common things.” {CCh 230.2}

1) A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals.

2) The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison.

3) When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest the meat so what little toxins are in the meat are slowly put into our system and can be filtered by the liver. But when pork is eaten, it takes only 4 hours to digest the meat. We thus get a much higher level of toxins within a shorter time.

4) Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins remain within its body and in the meat.

5) Pigs and swine are so poisonous that you can hardly kill them with strychnine or other poisons.

6) Farmers will often pen up pigs within a rattlesnake nest because the pigs will eat the snakes, and if bitten they will not be harmed by the venom.

7) When a pig is butchered, worms and insects take to its flesh sooner and faster than to other animal's flesh. In a few days the swine flesh is full of worms.

Swine and pigs have over a dozen parasites within them, such as tapeworms, flukes, worms, and trichinae. THERE IS NO SAFE TEMPERATURE AT WHICH PORK CAN BE COOKED TO ENSURE THAT ALL THESE PARASITES, THEIR CYSTS, AND EGGS WILL BE KILLED.

9) Pig meat has twice as much fat as beef. A 3 oz. T bone steak contains 8.5 grams of fat; a 3 oz. pork chop contains 18 grams of fat. A 3 oz. beef rib has 11.1 grams of fat; a 3 oz. pork spare rib has 23.2 grams of fat.

10) Cows have a complex digestive system, having four stomachs. It thus takes over 24 hours to digest their vegetarian diet causing its food to be purified of toxins. In contrast, the swine's one stomach takes only about 4 hours to digest its foul diet, turning its toxic food into flesh.

11) The swine carries about 30 diseases which can be easily passed to humans. This is why God commanded that we are not even to touch their carcass.

Leviticus 11:8 – Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

12) The trichinae worm of the swine is microscopically small, and once ingested can lodge itself in our intestines, muscles, spinal cord or the brain. This results in the disease trichinosis. The symptoms are sometimes lacking, but when present they are mistaken for other diseases, such as typhoid, arthritis, rheumatism, gastritis, MS, meningitis, gall bladder trouble, or acute alcoholism.

13) The pig is so poisonous and filthy, that nature had to prepare him a sewer line or canal running down each leg with an outlet in the bottom of the foot. Out of this hole oozes pus and filth his body cannot pass into its system fast enough. Some of this pus gets into the meat of the pig.

***Since 1939, the pork industry research has shown pork contains carcinogenic secondary bile acids (salts), which cause cancer!

13 Home Remedies To Remove Skin Tags

Skin tags are caused due to the accumulation of blood vessels and collagen in the thicker parts of the skin. In dermatology skin tags are generally referred to as acrochordons.

Other factors that increase your risk of getting skin tags include:

• Skin chafing and irritation
• Pregnancy
• Acromegaly
• Human papillomavirus (HPV)
• Obesity
• Insulin resistance
• Type 2 diabetes

***Please note that an ugly looking mole that has a non-uniform shape, border, and or color needs to be seen by a professional immediately. If you have a lesion that fits into one of the categories pictured on the right, it’s a good idea to find an integrative oncologist and discuss what to do.

On the other hand a non-cancerous skin tag is a fleshy outgrowth which tends to be very small in size and lifted off the skin. They usually occur on eyelids, neck, arms, the lower breast, and in or around the armpits. Skin tags can occur both in men and women. Your doctor can remove them for a hefty fee or you can easily remove them yourself using one of these simple home remedies: 

1. Apple Cider Vinegar

This is one of the best home remedies for skin tags on the neck. Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and apply it over the skin tag. Use this remedy up to 3 times a day for about a month for complete removal. Learn more about this method by following this link.

2. Castor Oil

Mix a little castor oil with baking soda to form a paste and cover it with a bandage. Wash and pat dry at least once a day and repeat the process for a month. You will notice the skin tag disappearing slowly.

If you’re looking for speedy removal and you have the time apply the castor oil paste at least five times a day mixed with a few drops of Lomatium herbal extract. This method will remove the skin tag in only ten days!

3. Pineapple Juice for Skin Tags

Pineapple juice is a very effective method and can even remove your moles and warts too!

Get this:
• Pineapple (not from concentrate juice, or raw)
• Cotton ball

Do this:
• Take the pieces of pineapple and blend them to get juice.
• With the help of cotton ball, apply this juice to your skin tags.
• Do this twice a day for a few weeks.

4. Tea Tree Oil

This is the most easy and even painless home remedy for skin tags. As per the ancient Chinese medicine, your skin tags indicate that there is dampness within your body. Due to its natural antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties, tea tree oil dries out any wart and even skin tags from the inside out.

You need:
• Tea tree oil – 3 drops
• Cotton ball
• Water – enough to soak the cotton ball

Process:
• Clean your skin tag
• Soak the cotton ball in clean water.
• Take out the cotton ball and squeeze a little to just drain out the excessive water. Don’t squeeze too hard.
• Add a few drops of tea tree oil onto the wet cotton ball.
• Gently massage your skin tag with the cotton ball.
• Repeat 3 times a day for best results.

5. Onion Juice

Cut an onion and rub 1/4-1/2 tsp of salt on it. Leave it in a container overnight. Extract the juice in the morning. You don’t need to use it immediately. That night before going to bed, apply the juice to your tags and wrap with a bandage. Repeat the process for at least 10-12 days.

6. Banana Peel

A banana peel can be very effective for skin tag removal. Cut a small piece of banana peel and cover the skin tag with the inside of the peel. Secure some gauze over the peel and leave it on overnight. Repeat this remedy daily until the skin tags fall off.

7. Cauliflower Juice

While you can always blend cauliflower with water to get its juice and apply to your skin tags, this is a more effective recipe which uses other vegetables with cauliflower to rid of tags even faster!

You need:
One Potato
2 Garlic cloves
A few pieces of Cauliflower
A bandage

Directions:
Blend all three ingredients with a small amount of water to form a thick paste.
Apply a dab of this paste on your skin tags at night before you go to sleep.
Wrap the area with a bandage.
Remove it in the morning and wash the skin tag.
Repeat this process for a few days until the tag falls off.

8. Garlic Remedy

Due to its superb antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial properties, garlic is one of the best remedies for skin tags too. You will need fresh garlic cloves for this.

Directions:
Crush the 3 or 4 garlic cloves and make a course paste.
Before going to bed, apply this paste to your skin tags.
Now use the bandage to cover the tag so that the paste stays in place.
In the morning, remove the bandage and wash off your skin.
Do this for few days until your skin tag falls off.

9. Fig Stem Juice

Figs are not only laxatives but can treat various skin infections by regaining and maintaining pH balance. The stem is what we are most interested in using in this case.

Directions:
Take a few fig stems.
Blend them to create a paste.
Apply to your skin tags 3-4 times a day.
The effect can be seen in about 2-4 weeks.

This remedy works well for moles too.

10. Lemon Juice

Citric acid helps in decomposing the cells of your skin tags. Simply grab a lemon, cut it and squeeze its juice into a bowl. Dip a cotton ball in the juice and apply to the skin tags. Let it dry and repeat the process two or three times a day. The skin tags will fall off after two-four weeks of regular use.

Note: After applying lemon juice, do not step out in sun, this may give you a blotchy tan. If you must expose the area to sunlight first wash your skin to remove the juice from it.

11. Dandelion Stem Juice for Skin Tags

Dandelion is not only good for liver diseases but also for skin diseases including eczema, warts, moles and skin tags. Extract the juice form dandelion stems and apply it on your skin tags to see results in only a few days. All you need to do is squeeze the milky white juice from the stem onto your tags. Do this three-four times a day and allow it to air dry. You skin tags will gradually become dark black and then fall off.

Precaution: If you are allergic to ragweed or other plants like daisies, chrysanthemums, marigolds etc., you may be allergic to dandelion too.

12. Oregano Oil

Oregano essential oil has very strong antibacterial properties due to its phenolic terpenoids components like arvacrol, thymol and p-cymene. These components have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antimelanomic, anti-oxidative, antispasmodic, antiseptic properties. Oregano oil can cure skin tags in two-four weeks. It may take up to two months to remove skin tags using this method. If you decide to use oregano oil please share your success story in the comments section.

Directions:
Mix 2-3 drops oregano oil with 4-6 drops coconut oil. Apply the mixture at least three times a day. You may see your tags changing color on daily basis. They will get red, purple and gradually dark black before dropping off your skin.

Note: Do not apply oregano oil without diluting it in a carrier oil such as coconut, otherwise you will get red marks all along the skin that surrounds your tag. Also DO NOT apply this home remedy on skin tags over your eyelid.

13. Black Walnut Hull Homemade Tincture for Skin Tags

Black walnut hull has been recognized as a very effective herb for various skin diseases including warts, moles, acne, impetigo, athlete’s foot, ringworm, skin tags and even eczema. Many herbalists believe that Juglone, which is the primary natural ingredient present in black walnut hull makes your unwanted skin cells toxic to such a level that your body rejects the tissues. When targeting skin tags with this herb, they die and fall off. In fact, black walnut hull tincture is also administered internally to kill intestinal parasites and worms. For skin diseases, this tincture is applied externally. You can make your own black walnut hull tincture at home. There are two types of this tincture- water based and alcohol based. If your skin is very sensitive or you can not bear the stinging sensations, you can make water based tincture otherwise make the alcohol based tincture which is more effective and works fast.

Water-Based:

You need:
Black walnuts- 5-10 (use those which have green husks)
Water- enough to immerse the husks
A saucepan
Gloves
Vitamin C powder (optional)- ¼ tsp (you can get it by crushing vitamin C capsules. Alternatively you can cut lemon rinds into small pieces and let them dry in the sun. Put these peels into a coffee grinder and Voila! You have natural homemade vitamin C powder)

Directions:
Wear gloves because black walnuts stain.
Remove the husks from the black walnuts.
Now put the green husks in a saucepan and pour water on them, enough to cover them.
Heat this until it boils.
Remove from the heat and cover with a tightly fitting lid.
Let this stand for 24 hours
After a full day strain and store in a bottle.
If you want, you can add vitamin C powder to it which will work as a preservative. Vitamin C is also good for the skin.

Alcohol-Based:

You need:
Black walnuts- 5-10 (use those which have green husk)
Grain alcohol- enough to immerse the husks
Water- equal to the quantity of alcohol
A jar with lid (mason jar)
Gloves

Again, wear gloves to avoid stains.
Remove the husks from the nuts and put these green husks into the jar.
Add grain alcohol, enough to cover the husk.
Put the lid on the jar and let the solution stand for 2 days.
After 2 days, strain it and add an equal amount of water.
Store in a bottle.

Apply your homemade black walnut hull tincture on your skin tags 2-3 times a day.

Note: Pregnant woman should avoid this method.

Do not be afraid of skin tags as they are unobtrusive and painless. Never try to remove them by surgical means at home. This may cause infection and make everything worse. Try these simple home remedies instead!

12 Food Additives To Remove From Your Diet

MANY FOOD ADDITIVES have been studied and linked to various diseases. Becoming informed about the additives in everyday food items can make for an easier shopping experience and healthier food for everyone.

Here’s a list of some of the most medically questionable and harmful additives in everyday foods:

• Acesulfame-K
• Aspartame
• BHA & BHT
• Food Colorings (Blue, Red, Green, Yellow)
• Monosodium Glutamate
• Olestra
• Potassium Bromate
• Propyl Gallate
• Sodium Chloride (Salt)
• Sodium Nitrite
• Trans Fats
• White Sugar

Since some of these may not be familiar to you, sodium nitrite is a preservative added most commonly to bacon, ham, hot dogs, sandwich meats, and smoked fish. BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) are other preservatives added to foods like cereal, gum, potato chips, and vegetable oils. Propyl gallate is found in meats, chicken soup base, and gum. All of these preservatives have been linked to cancer.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) can cause migraines and other adverse effects. Trans fats are being eliminated from most foods, as the studies linking them to heart disease, strokes, and kidney problems are widely accepted.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener found in products like NutraSweet and Equal as well as diet foods and soft drinks. And acesulfame-K is a newer sweetener used in soft drinks and some baked goods.

Many food colorings have been banned by the FDA, but some can still be found in foods that require a particular color. Olestra was common for a time in potato chips as an additive that prevented fat from being absorbed in your digestive system. Food colorings have been tied to cancer and Olestra also blocks vitamins from being processed.

Potassium bromate is sometimes added to white flour, breads, and rolls to increase the volume of the products, but it has cancer-causing properties that have prompted some states in America to actually require a label to that effect.

Finally, white sugar and sodium chloride (salt) can be dangerous and should be removed from the diet.
