Then we must quickly delete their account again lest the CIA has intercepted their temporary password. And of the few who do change their password, most still never post. Maybe they realize we are too weird for them, I don't know. They get real quiet, never to be heard from again.

Re: Clean Water.
Hi Mark,
No, never heard of till now from you. I looked them up to see what they are about.
Our pipe water in jamaica is loaded with chlorine and God knows what else. (at least we don't have fluoride)
We have a lot of water cuts, sometimes 3 times in a day and when the water comes back,
the amount of chlorine in it is unreal.
We do have a brita jug, but we still have to boil the water for at
least 20 mins to remove most of the chlorine before even putting it in the brita jug.
It would be interesting to see if the Kishu Binchoten sticks work. I see they are available on amazon.

Re: Clean Water.
Chlorine will evaporate in 24 hrs supposedly if you simply leave the water in an open container. Of course the toxic by-products will remain. And the container ideally would not be in a closed room you breathe in.
I don't think a Brita filter will remove much of the THMs etc.

Re: Clean Water.
As I understand it, most kinds of activated charcoal can be used, also for digestion, it should be good for detox, but as always, there are som considerations to take:

https://www.everydayhealth.com/diet-nut … re-to-buy/
And I would say, if you can choose between bottled spring water, and tap chlorinated water, take the bottled one any day. Chlorine are very dangerous/cancer inducing.
There was a doctor here in Denmark, that warned some years ago, that one of the reasons kids developed allergies, was due to all the chlorine in the swimming pools, breaking down lung tissue.
We were forced to swim in it in Danish public schools, inhaling lots of fumes, maybe that's why I got bronchitis as kid.
They claim it's to fight bacteria, well, bacteria does not give you allergies, cancer, or disturbing your hormone system, their chemicals do (but as you know, part of their agenda).
Also in Denmark, we have lots of pesticides in the tap water, and recently they have found microplastic too.

Re: Clean Water.
I forget, when I say bottled spring water, I mean anything not the famous companies like Nestle, Aqua D'or, etc.

Re: Clean Water.
Even bottled water should be filtered. Aside from the plastic chemicals, they have other issues.
What is in your BOTTLED WATER ?

I remember in the early 90's, swimming in the indoor pool at Western Washington University a few times. It was super chlorinated. I eventually stopped going. Then there was an article in the school newspaper about swimmers' nylon bathing suits becoming bleached and brittle, and disintegrating after a month or 2 of use.

Re: Clean Water.
Yeah that's right, about plastic bottles, but it is difficult to get real clean water, unless you're lucky to live near a real pure nature spring.
The different filter systems one can get are not perfect, from removing essential minerals, to not completely remove toxins, to actually giving off toxins (made of plastic, surprise).
So I'm kind of lost in that department.
I remember as a teen that I bleached my cowboy pants in chlorine in a bucket (over night), and it made the pants very thin, and broke easily.

Re: Clean Water.
I once spilled a couple drops of bleach on some nice denim shorts, and after i washed them those spots were holes.

Yes I do know the brita does not remove everything. I stopped drinking the water from it and don't have a choice but to resort to bottled water.
I had to change the brand of the bottled water because the one i was buying was no good. I do get that the bottled water should be filtered too, but i need a good filter, which i would have to get when i next travel.
To put in a filtration system is too costly at this time and of course the etoid parents never thought of it when they built the house.
