Removing Toxicity

(Note:  pardon the rushed nature of this post.  I have plans to edit this at some point)

Long story short:  Dan Cuzzo achieves significant health improvements through a gluten free, mostly organic diet with whole food supplements.  Trump is elected president and makes no secret about wanting to rollback environmental protections, in addition to having many connections to major polluting corporations.

Dan Cuzzo decides that if Trump is going to be president, he was at least going to protect his health from polluters given the green light and he gets a Black Berkey Water Filtration System with a Flouride and Arsenic filter attachment.

Laymen’s terms:  Filters out almost everything except water (to my understanding).

See link for scientific explanation:  https://www.berkeywaterfilter.com/product/berkey-system/

Dan Cuzzo secretly learns how to put together and work this seemingly complicated system and over the years enjoys purified water with increasingly less hassle to maintain it.

Since publishing “Flouride vs. Dental Health,” he has been asked for more details regarding his toothpaste (the easy answer) and water filtration (the hard answer)

The easy answer is I use Desert Essence Natural Tea Tree Oil Toothpaste (see picture below).  Over two years ago, it had good reviews on Amazon.  I bought it as an experiment and loved it.  I never had to look for another toothpaste.

The hard answer:  How my water filtration system works/is maintained.

The stainless-steel container (see picture below)

 is two tubs of water, one which holds the Black Berkey Filter and the water reservoir below holds the Fluoride/ Arsenic Filter attachments in addition to the filtered water.  This brings us to a design flaw:

Instructions tell us not to screw the fluoride filter into the Black Berkey Filter more than 8 rotations because it will damage the Fluoride/Arsenic Filter.  However, in my experience, if the water reservoir gets filled to the very top, some of the filtered toxins escape from the top of the Fluoride/Arsenic filter and enter the reservoir.

Easy fix:  you don’t want to let it fill to the very top.  What I do is, at night, when I refill the top basin, I empty some filtered water into a stainless-steel canteen and store it behind the system.  This way I usually avoid filling and overflowing.

Putting it together and priming the filter elements.

The system is basically, as stated, two stainless steel tubs on top of each other, the top has four holes in it where filter elements can connect to secondary Flouride/Arsenic filters.  If there are no secondary filters the filtered water will just fall into the bottom basin which now has more space to hold it.

However:  I am one human being.  In addition, I’m the only human being in my residence that follows environmental/ water quality news.  While I started out using the standard package:  Two Black Berkey Elements and Two Fluoride/Arsenic filters THIS WAS A COLOSSAL WASTE.

This system is meant for a household, or at least, more than one human being.  Luckily, or unluckily, one of the two filters that I bought did not work correctly.  I either messed up the priming or it arrived defective.

I bought, I believe, a 4mm rubber cork and plugged up the third hole so that only one hole was open and I used one Black Berkey Filter in Fluoride / Arsenic filter attachment.  This worked better.  I fill the top basin to the top at night and it filters water at a good rate that I have plenty to drink for the next 24 hours.

About Priming:  One or two $10 Black Berkey Primers are necessary (in picture above previous).  Buy one, if you’re okay taking them apart and putting them back together each time you need the primer to push air out the filter or suck water into the filter.  I opted to get two, because I’m not mechanically inclined.

Priming the Fluoride / Arsenic Filter:

If you have a new sink, you are out of luck.  I’m not joking.  They give you a brown washer and you have to use physical pressure to push the element against the faucet so water runs through the element forwards and backwards to eliminate any debris and create a wet channel for the water to follow.  This does not work if your sink has a big faucet (I have to use my bathroom sink, as the kitchen sink does not work.

Lastly:  Cleaning

My answer:  don’t get it dirty.  However, they say you can clean the bottom basin with dish-washer soap and simply rinse off the top basin.  No soap whatsoever is to be used on the Black Berkey elements.  The only time you use soap on the Flouride / Arsenic Filter is before removing the blue factory seal caps.  However, considering that Flouride/ Arsenic filters reside in the basin for (what should be) clean water, if you are careful you can clean off the casing of these filters.  Just make sure not to let soap enter the inside, and rinse well.

Closing Comments:  Many of us feel powerless when we think about politics.  I felt twice as powerless because I had just won my health and ability to function back from the toxins built up in my body from unhealthy food.  I was not willing to lose my hard earned health.

So while I don’t expect any of you reading to get a Black Berkey water system, I will still say there is hope!

There’s an easy way if you are a homeowner or a persuasive human being.  Just like we have a filter connected to our refrigerators we can easily replace those with better ones.

What’s wrong with Brita (or most other major brands on TV)?

Sadly, most of the mainstream water filtration systems just filter out debris, not pesticides, trace heavy metals, basically the things the government claims aren’t in the water but when tested, it’s actually there.  Fluoride is just an exception as we’ve been indoctrinated to see it as healthy.

Believe me, don’t believe me, it’s your choice.  I was encouraged to share the juicy details after I wrote my last blog entry, so I have.  If this helps, feel free to search the web to your heart’s content, and again, believe or not believe what you will to get answers.
