Most people are unaware that the kind of liquids we drink is one of
the major contributors to chronic skin disorders like psoriasis.
Municipal Water
Water treatment plants draw virtually all their supply from a variety of sources such as lakes, rivers and aquifers.
Waters are treated with cavity-preventing (not proven) fluoride, and chlorine - one of the deadliest compounds ever used by man in the trenches of World War 1. Factor in the lead that leaks from old metal piping in many homes, and you have a toxic combination that can seriously impact your health.
CBS News revealed a shocking discovery in March 2008. Pharmaceuticals, in great numbers, have been discovered in numerous water systems throughout the nation, albeit in low concentrations.
Scientific studies determined that low-level exposure to 'chance' combinations of numerous pharmaceuticals had a serious health impact on cells in both humans and wildlife.
Water filters can remove some toxic elements such as chlorine and lead to varying degrees. But, sadly, many dangerous items cannot be adequately filtered at your tap or the water treatment plant!
No one, should be more concerned about exposure to a cocktail of toxins and drugs, than those suffering from 'immune system' disorders like psoriasis.
Suggestion: Avoid drinking municipal water. There are healthier options.
Bottled Waters Made From Faucet Water
Every individual bothered by psoriasis should stay away from bottled waters reprocessed from city water systems. Examples are...
Aquafina - reverse osmosis filtered 'municipal water' purified with charcoal filtration and ozonation. Available in carbonated and flavored varieties sweetened with sucralose*.
Dasani - reverse osmosis filtered 'municipal water' with minute amounts of synthetic minerals added. Available in flavored varieties sweetened with sucralose*.
*sucralose - controversial chlorinated sugar. It is NOT natural.
Waters Treated by Distillation and Reverse Osmosis
Strangely enough, drinking distilled or reverse osmosis water (with the goal of protecting us from toxins) may have been our own undoing.
These waters are devoid of minerals, and produce a 'leaching' effect in our body of such key minerals as calcium.
And, don't let any water sales person tell you that distilled or reverse osmosis is the 'best' water to drink. Back in the 1950s, they used to use distilled water to top up car batteries, along with a WARNING "not fit for human consumption".
How the times have changed!

"The things we must NEVER add to our drinks. If you do, you'll derail any chance of successfully treating your psoriasis."
