I talked to a friend who said she spends about 100 dollars a week on bottled water, as she doesn't trust tap water. I asked if she'd ever thought of reverse osmosis or water filters and she said it was too expensive. I then told her reverse osmosis starts at 99 dollars at their nearest hardware store, or even better Berkey filters are between 2 and 300 online.
She called me to day she got a filter, is saving a bundle, and so much simpler. She can also rest easy she won't have plastic leaching into her family's water. Nor will she be contributing to the pollution of this planet with millions of bottles thrown out every day.
Here is a full list of the names from this article on the recalled bottled water.
Niagra advises to not drink the affected water without boiling it first or use other bottled water.
The recalled bottled water products were sold under the following brand names:
The Sacramento Bee is reporting that State lawmakers behind bill SB277 have ties to the makers of vaccines. Pharmaceutical companies and their trade groups gave current members of the Legislature more than $2 million. Nine of the top 20 recipients of these funds are either members of the Senate health committee, or leaders who could influence the outcome of the bill, as well as push it through to law.
One senator, in particular, is also a doctor, Richard Pan, who received more than $95,000 in campaign cash. He also just happens to be the man who wrote the bill.
As if that weren't bad enough, Big Pharma also donated more than $500,000 to outside campaign spending groups that helped some of these top nine individuals be elected to their current legislative positions.
The World Health Organization's official recognition of the health damage caused by glyphosate, the world's most widely used herbicide, is having ramifications around the world. National governments are moving to restrict the chemical, campaigns to ban it are intensifying, and now 'Roundup Ready' GMO crops are coming under the regulatory spotlight.
Could it be that the World Health Organisation's classification of glyphosate as a 'probable carcinogen' (see [1] Glyphosate 'Probably Carcinogenic to Humans' Latest WHO Assessment, SiS 66) will be the final nail in the coffin for the world's most popular herbicide and Monsanto's flagship product?

Taylor Gaes died on June 8 after coming into contact with fleas on a dead rodent or other animal. According to the health department, Gaes was the first person to carry the virus in the county since 1999.
Health officials are advising anyone who visited the Gaes' house before the cause of death was confirmed to seek medical attention, because there is a small chance they could have been bitten by infected fleas.
Bubonic plague symptoms typically occur within two to six days after being exposed to an infected rodent or animal.
Typical symptoms include swollen lymph nodes, sudden onset of fever or chills, severe headache, extreme exhaustion, and a general feeling of illness.
Cats that are infected usually show swelling and sores around the mouth, head, and neck, and appear to be ill. The disease can also be spread by inhaling bacteria.
Officials advise residents to avoid contact with all sick and dead rodents and rabbits. Residents should look for the presence of blow flies or dead animal smell as evidence of animal die-offs.These die-offs can be reported to Larimer County Health Department. Prairie dog colonies that suddenly are not active also may indicate plague activity in the area.
Comment: Despite popular belief, the bubonic plague that killed so many was most likely not spread by fleas. See:
You won't typically hear this type of info from your doctors unless they made great efforts to further study nutrition, anatomy and orthomolecular medicine. Mainstream thoughts on this life-giving vitamin don't often go further than "enough to keep us from Scurvy." But this dismisses that there are other reasons for vitamin C and that disease starts sooner than seeing the effects of a full-blown disorder like Scurvy.
Here, Humphries shines light on the confusion surrounding vitamin C, its best sources and supplementation. This lecture isn't just about the liver (towards the beginning), but a whole array of human functions that few knew had anything to do with vitamin C requirements - fascinating!
In many previous articles, I have established a number of facts about vaccines.
They are not safe. They are not effective. They were not responsible for the major decline in so-called contagious diseases.
In most if not all cases, the diseases they are supposed to prevent affect only a tiny fraction of the people claimed to be at risk.
In some instances, (e.g., seasonal flu, Swine Flu, SARS), the "outbreaks" have virtually nothing to do with the viruses touted as the cause of illness. Therefore, even if vaccines were safe and effective, they would have no relevant effect, because they are targeting viruses which are not causing illness.
Comment: If only it were a myth. Aborted fetal cells aren't the only nasty ingredients found in vaccines.

Natural sauerkraut is a fermented food (stock image). The researchers found that young adults who eat more fermented foods have fewer social anxiety symptoms, with the effect being greatest among those at genetic risk for social anxiety disorder as measured by neuroticism.
W&M Psychology Professors Matthew Hilimire and Catherine Forestell recently joined with University of Maryland School of Social Work Assistant Professor Jordan DeVylder to investigate a possible connection between fermented foods, which contain probiotics, and social anxiety. The researchers found that young adults who eat more fermented foods have fewer social anxiety symptoms, with the effect being greatest among those at genetic risk for social anxiety disorder as measured by neuroticism.
The journal Psychiatry Research accepted the study in April for publication in August.

Apparently this is also how a dying multi-billion dollar industry behaves in an attempt to shame the fleeing customers.
Comment: Stigmatizing Health: The War Against 'Health Nuts'
We live in a world where it's normal to be more like the walking dead than a fully functioning human, but that doesn't mean it's truly normal. We have had our health and our senses hijacked by food manufacturers who develop designer chemicals to keep us eating what they are selling. Dr. Dean Ornish said it best when he said that it's considered radical to ask people to dramatically change their diets and adopt a healthy, plant-based diet, but not considered radical to crack open their chests and perform heart surgery.
Despite the consensus in the organic community that nanotechnology should be prohibited in organics, the USDA's National Organic Program issued a new guidance in March that allows companies to petition for use of human-engineered nanomaterials in organic production and processing. The new guidance dismisses the recommendation of the NOP's advisory body, the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB).
Nanomaterials are tiny particles measured in nanometers, or billionths of a meter. Due to their incredibly small size, nanoparticles ingested in food are fundamentally different and can move throughout the body and through cell structures in unknown ways. Experts on nanotechnology are virtually unanimous that nanoscale materials have the potential for health effects that are uniquely different from the same substances comprised of larger-sized molecules.
Comment: Comment: 'The National Organic Standards Board was very clear in their wording that nanomaterials should not be allowed in organic production or in organic processing and packaging ' Not surprising that the USDA disregards concerns over 'nano' particles in organic foods, learn more about the growing concern regarding nanotechnology and how organizations like the USDA want to keep the consumer uninformed!

Comment: It's obvious that these mandates have little to do with the actual health and well-being of people, when the pharmaceutical industry wields so much power that it can literally buy votes to insure a favorable outcome.
