There are only two things that directly cause disease. TOXICITY AND DEFICIENCY! If you can raise your vitamin and mineral levels while lowering the toxicity, you can prevent sickness. Even better, you can eliminate the disease you're currently fighting. One way to lower your toxic load is to start looking at your water. Is it truly safe after the city puts in all their chemicals to kill any bacteria or parasites? Chemicals are toxic and the only water that is truly free of flouride, chlorine and metals is distilled water! Distillation is a process by which the water is boiled into steam and collected in a separate container to cool and return to the liquid state without all of the harmful chemicals or metals. But what about shower water? We can only reduce our toxic load by using a filter unless you are able to distill a large amount of water. Stayed tuned for other ways to lower your toxic load.
