Are You Allergic to Your Tap Water?
Greetings!
I overcame multiple sclerosis using an alternative treatment suggested by Edgar Cayce, a man many regard as the father of modern holistic medicine
To help rid one's body of toxins, Cayce suggested drinking half a glass of warm water every morning. Recently, I noticed that every time I drank warm tap water, I would sneeze several times about ten minutes later. In time, I asked myself why that should be. Was there a connection between my drinking the water and then sneezing? One of the cardinal signs of an allergic reaction is sneezing. Could I be allergic to water? Or, more likely, could I be allergic to some substance or chemical in the water?
To investigate further, I performed this experiment on three consecutive mornings:Day 1: I drank the warm tap water as usual
Drinking the warm tap water elicited the usual sneezing reaction. Drinking the warm filtered water caused only one sneeze. Drinking the warm distilled water elicited no sneezing at all.
Day 2: I drank warm filtered water
Day 3: I drank warm distilled water
About a year ago, I switched from distilled to filtered water because it was cheaper and more convenient. I used the well-known BRITA filtration system that I purchased from a local supermarket. Perhaps if I were to employ a more costly filtration system, the problem would be alleviated. In any case, I have now returned to drinking distilled water.
I have also noticed that I tend to sneeze after taking a shower. To address that issue, I purchased a shower filter, the sole function of which is to remove chlorine from the water. That, by itself, has eliminated the shower-related sneezing problem. I am therefore assuming that a sensitivity to chlorine is at the bottom of my reaction. Coincidentally, to install the shower filter, it was necessary to borrow a wrench from one of the maintenance workers in my apartment building. In the course of our conversation, she said that her use of Virginia Beach water caused a disturbing skin reaction, the solution to which was to drink distilled water and use a shower filter.
We do, indeed, inhabit a toxic environment. In this case, it is a toxin added to the water supply to kill pathogens. God only knows what chlorination does to human beings (myself included), but it cannot possibly be healthful.
What can one do to combat environmental toxins in general?
I would offer the following three suggestions: read Dr. Steven Nugent's book, How to Survive on a Toxic Planet, periodically go on the Cayce apple diet, and be an advocate for cleaning up the environment.
Working together, we CAN make a difference in our world!
