Please indulge me a short story before I get to the hard facts about reverse osmosis systems.
I heard a terrible true life story this week about a cancer patient that I have talked to in the past. Her friend has always been very interested in health and convinced her to get a water ionizer. During a recent visit, the friend was stunned to see the ionizer unplugged and a reverse osmosis system hooked up.
It turns out that a RO salesman had told the cancer patient that she needed… Continue reading

It has always favoured one specific brand. Of course, other companies caught on to… Continue reading
I have been watching with great interest the ongoing development of the strategy by the pharmaceutical industry to cast doubt of the benefits of an alkaline diet and alkaline water.

This article addresses a truly pathetic internet effort to discredit alkaline water. The… Continue reading
