    Default A new way to purify water?

    "Water can be purified using Silver Sol liquid. By applying four drops of Silver Sol liquid into eight ounce glass of water, and letting it stand for about two minutes, it will purifiy even raw river water. Add 32 ounces of liquid Silver Sol to a 55 gallon drum of water to keep your water storage purified for years."

    creepy because my chiropractor had some guy make one of those with the 2 prongs and 8 oz water in it where one metal is liquified or something when turned on with a battery switch (cheap to make) and supposedly health benefits ... but gee wiz after looking at that article I'm glad I only tried that once, lol. No need for a permanent halloween costume, lol.

    Hi Robin,

    As much as acid water can be seen as being of a harmful nature, it can be regarded as being helpful in dealing with skin allergies such as eczema and also as an eyewash or hair rinse.

    Silver shows up often in "miracle" remedies. Be very wary of them!

    There has been a lot of concern about the safety of drinking water today especially in homes. Therefore, more people are finding alternatives places where they can get safe water for drinking. Drinking water found in taps may be contaminated and include toxins like chlorine, lead, chemicals that get into the water supply from large farming run offs, and corporate pollution which can be harmful to your health.

    Along with drinking water purification, you have to take care about the water you use for washing, bathing and other daily house work. This also can damage your health... So be safe and use water filters...

    The only time I want to be blue on the trail is when I'm a week out and missing my wife or dog depends on why I went to the woods in the first place!

    Very observant - looks like most of the thread is spam
    The trail was here before we arrived, and it will still be here when we are gone...enjoy it now, and preserve it for others that come after us

    Tap water is the most common source of drinking water in many parts of the world. What many people do not know is that it is dangerous to our health. Tap water contains chemicals, bacteria and drugs that make it unhealthy for human consumption. There is a way through which tap water can be made safe for consumption in the home. It is possible to transform contaminated water into clean, pure and safe water using water filters.

    Silver use was widespread until just after WWII and antibiotics became common.

    It's making a comeback in areas where antibiotics aren't as effective, like Silverlon dressings for MRSA Staph infections.
