“Fluoride causes more
cancer deaths and causes it faster than any other chemical.” – Dean Burke,
M.D. U.S. National Cancer Institute
Your skin can absorb these toxins when showering. For every
minute in the shower you absorb about 8 ounces of water.
Dr. Davidson recommends at the very least a shower filter.
He also recommends the use of a whole house filter and/or
water ionizing system.
The whole house is a reverse osmosis system that takes out toxins.

The cost is quite high at $3300.
Tyent makes a water ionizer that according to Dr. Davidson
produces water with a higher ORP or anti-oxidant properties. It is supposed to
also be better absorbed by the body.
The
water also is alkalized creating a body environment that does not allow viruses
and bacteria to thrive and keeps down inflammation.
You can learn about this system and get pricing at their web
site:
System price is $3295
