I’m Rev Doc Lisa, IntegralHealer.This video is about you, your water and your health.
My goal is to inform and empower you to make some really important decisions about Water for you and those you love. First, it’s abundantly clear that America’s water is terribly polluted with poisoning pharmaceuticals, pesticides, heavy metals like arsenic and lead...you get the drift. Many of these pollutants are what are called endocrine disruptors, which I’ll explain in a minute.Now, you already know that it’s best to drink and cook with clean, natural water. 
But considering the state of affairs, how can you do this? I’ll get to that, too. But first, you need to know what our poisoned water is doing to us. The endocrine system balances human hormones. It involves complex and delicate feedback loops. Unfortunately, many of the pollutants in our water confuse or disrupt our hormonal feedback system. These Endocrine disruptors make us sick, causing all kinds of health issues -  immune system problems, thyroid irregularities, menstrual problems in women, early puberty in girls (even as early as 4 or 5 years old), male feminization (think men with breasts but no sperm), reproductive organ birth defects like small testicles and penis abnormalities, fertility problems and cancers. The increasing incidence of all of this disease is alarming and news making. And some experts believe that endocrine disruptors may be behind the recent gender identity shifts in our youth. So, now, what to do? If you think the answer is bottled water… it’s not. The shocking truth is that bottled water quality is often worse than tap water. PLUS, plastic bottles leach a chemical called BPA into the water which is-  you guessed it, an endocrine disruptor. I often advise my clients that they must filter their drinking and cooking water at home and work.  There’s no way around it.  That brings us to two important points. First, I focus here on “point of use” filter systems at your sink or countertop, not large filter systems for entire homes or buildings. This is because drinking and cooking water is by far our largest water toxin exposure, and most people can get these filter system types into place without a huge investment of time or money.Second, consider TWO main primary system types for your home and office. Carbon based Systems (carbon systems for short), and Reverse Osmosis Systems (RO systems for short).Carbon systems include various forms like countertop pitchers or tanks (like mine), faucet or refrigerator filters and under sink filters. My home carbon system is a highly effective, bigger and costlier filter type called carbon block. Importantly, better carbon systems like this drastically reduce dangerous contaminants, but do NOT remove the natural minerals that make water taste good and that your body needs, minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium and chromium. Also, Carbon systems don’t waste water and usually use gravity to work, which those in frequent power outage areas might want to bear in mind. On the other hand, the second system type, Reverse Osmosis, has multiple filter stages, and actually includes some kind of carbon based stage inside. The more filter stages, the more contaminants removed. RO systems are usually under the sink or countertop. I have a simple 3 stage RO system in my healing studio. Significantly, RO systems are designed to remove anything larger than a single water molecule.  Sounds Good, right?  Yes and no. It’s a bit “Throw the baby out with the bathwater.” Yes, it removes almost all toxic chemicals, but also removes those naturally occurring minerals. Your body wasn’t designed to drink water without minerals. You can overcome this drawback by adding trace minerals back in after filtering. It’s a small extra step you should take, because “pure” water without trace minerals isn’t natural, and can actually harm your health over time. Lastly, unlike Carbon systems, RO systems waste water. I water plants with the wastewater… jury’s out on results there. Some RO systems need electricity. Mine won’t work when the power goes out. Now, what about regular cleaning and maintenance? My RO system is definitely easier, but neither is much work to maintain. As you see, each type has advantages and disadvantages, so choose what makes the most sense to you. I’m here if you need help. Here’s 3 Bonuses. You’ll also save money over time by not buying bottled water. You won’t have to lug bottled water. 
And you’ll contribute far less to the plastic strangling of the planet. Lastly, what to do when you’re on the go?  Use a stainless steel water bottle. If you must buy bottled water, choose glass or boxed - and please recycle. For more information or to check the pollution status of your municipal water, visit EWG.org.
