more on charcoal/water

[Guest guest]

I never considered boiling the water. I don't know if

that clears out the chlorine--years ago when I had

fish I read that leaving the water out overnight

cleared out the chlorine (my fish didn't die, so I

guess that worked); however, I don't know about

boiling. Even the water purifiers don't get rid of the

chlorine, they only reduce the taste/smell. We do

have floride in our water--the city added it in the

last year or so. Whatever happened to just getting a

drink? I can get distilled bottled water--but I

suppose it has problems too. When I consider that

healthy people should be drinking 64 oz. of the stuff

every day (or more) to " detoxify " and hydrate thier

bodies, it really makes me wonder what all those

chemicals in the water are doing to my body! It seems

like a weird combination to buy/grow organic and then

drink city water. So . . . I spend three hours outside

working in my organic garden so I can get the benefits

and then come into the house all hot and thirsty and

slug down what the city has to offer for water.

Weird. Susan
