When the temperature rises and pollution and shortages of our water from drought and algae blooms and the poisoning of our food from mushrooming bacteria start taking their toll?
The water and food quality has already deteriorated in a number of places in New Zealand with outbreaks of Campylobacter or Giardia [50.000 cases a year, 400 end up in hospital].
Tap water from most municipal suppliers not only receive varying doses of additives such as fluoride, chlorine, sodium hypochloride, sodium carbonate, but also can contain pollutants like Bromide, Aluminium, Arsenic, Chloride, Chromium, Mercury, Cyanide, Nitrate and Nitrite, Lead, Zinc, and other metals and inorganic minerals, all generally present in varying quantities, so what in this country are regarded as ‘safe’ levels for drinking water are often regarded as totally unsafe in others.
Add to that the large number of the population in rural areas who collect rainwater in tanks for drinking water, of which a third is already polluted by faecal matter from birds and animals, and just to complete the picture we can look forward to an increasing level of pollution of the precipitation as ‘global warming’ becomes entrenched.
If you haven’t yet taken steps to get yourself a water distiller, now would seem a good time.
The
GOOD news is that you can obtain your own water distiller right now, before prices rocket, before supplies run out.
Act to-day, be prepared, as the boy scouts say, and stay healthy!
