RO water is a poison

  • Man and all other animal forms have been using ground water (well, spring, aquifers) or surface water (rivers, pond, lake and streams) for drinking from millions of years.

  • The drinking water contains dissolved gases (nitrogen, oxygen, helium, organ, neon), minerals and organic matters (originating from other life forms).

  • By drinking naturally occurring water, life forms obtained water for their body processes as well as many other requirements were fulfilled.

  • This water never harmed any organism or animal. Proof: life has existed and still continue to exist by consuming this water.

  • So far so good.


ENTER THE INDUSTRY & GOVERNMENT

  • When our ancestors started rapid destruction of nature in the name of development, industrialization, progress, civilization, urbanization, and so on, forests were destroyed, natural sources of water were depleted/polluted/disappeared.

  • Urbanization lead to overcrowding. Overcrowding of man became very good for our pathogens. They flourished.

  • Artificial water distribution methods were developed to meet the water needs of the crowded population.

  • But there was enormous amount of human shit generated in small urban areas.

  • This shit, coming from weak and infected urban populations, contaminated drinking water supplies.

  • This contaminated water infected even more people.

  • This necessitated filtration of water to remove pathogens.


ENTER THE SCIENTISTS

  • Scientists love problems.

  • They solved this issue by making water filters that eliminated the pathogens.

  • This was good too, as these filters did not eliminate much smaller sized gases, minerals and organic matters.


ENTER THE GREEDY ENTREPREUNERS

  • Entrepreneurs, building on the public fear of water borne infections, started marketing newer and newer type water filters that were used for industrial purposes.

  • One of these, which is a household item in cities now, is RO filter.

  • RO filter retains water (H2O) and eliminates everything else from the water.

  • This is when shit started to hit the fan.

  • They had been successful in making people drink pure form of water even though body rejects it due to its unnatural taste.

RO WATER WRECKS HAVOC ON THE BODY (Note the count. All evidences are from research studies that are linked and listed at the end).

  1. RO water does not taste normal. This increases craving to have something else or water from other sources. 1

  2. RO water does not quench the thirst properly. This lead to overconsumption of water. 1

  3. Decreases potassium in blood and elimination of sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium and magnesium ions elimination from the body is increased. Leads to tiredness, weakness and headache; more severe symptoms are muscular cramps and impaired heart rate. 1

  4. Distilled water causes shock to the intestine and damages the epithelium. 2

  5. This water increases acidity of stomach secretions. This leads to acidity. 1

  6. RO water destabilizes body's balance (homeostasis). Urine output is increased. Essential ions are lost in higher quantity. Volume of red blood cells is lowered. 1

  7. Decreases thyroid hormone and aldosterone. Increases stress hormone (cortisol). Damages kidney. Calcium activity in the muscles of the developing fetus are reduced. Diet was unable to meet mineral deficiency due to pure water. Reference 3

  8. After drinking over decades, this has lead to increased heart diseases. References 1, 2, 3, 4,. 4-7

  9. Increases bone fractures. 8

  10. Increases nervous diseases. 9

  11. Pre-term child birth and lower birth weight. 10

  12. Some types of cancers. References 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16

  13. RO water is a risk factor for hypertension and coronary heart disease, gastric and duodenal ulcers, chronic gastritis, goitre, pregnancy complications and several complications in newborns and infants, including jaundice, anemia, fractures and growth disorders. Reference 17, 18

I think these references are enough to put across my message. There are hundreds of more studies. WHO has also conducted large number of studies and showed that RO water is a poison.

Natural water is life giving but pure form of water is a poison.

We were proud of our RO water filter. We boasted about it and even it gave us a status! We discovered these issues 3 years ago. Immediately we got rid of RO water purifier. We have been using just a ceramic candle filter that operates without electricity. This has been good enough for us in multiple locations like Bidar, Dharwad & Gulbarga.


Thanks for reading & Take Care
