What Fluids Should You Avoid When Treating Psoriasis?
Most people are unaware that the kind of liquids we consume is one of major contributors to long-standing skin diseases like psoriasis.
Municipal Water
Water treatment plants draw virtually all their supply from a variety of sources such as lakes, rivers and aquifers.
Chlorine is added to the waters to kill pathogens, and fluoride is added to supposedly ‘prevent’ cavities in our teeth. Unfortunately, both chemicals are toxic to our health. When you add the ‘neuro-toxin’ lead to the mix from pipes in older homes, we create a triple threat to our well being that is frightening.
In March 2008, CBS News reported that low concentrations of a vast array of pharmaceuticals have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans.
After normal consumption of water containing low levels of a random mix of pharmaceuticals, scientists discovered that human cells and wildlife showed serious effects from exposure.
Our water treatment plants are unable to effectively remove many drugs, hormones and various chemicals that are found every day in our water supply. And, home filtration systems aren’t much better. They can only remove chlorine, lead and a few other dangerous compounds.
No one, should be more concerned about exposure to a cocktail of toxins and drugs, than those suffering from ‘immune system’ disorders like psoriasis.
Suggestion: Avoid drinking tap water. There are healthier options.
Bottled Waters Made From Faucet Water
All those bothered by psoriasis should avoid bottled waters reprocessed from municipal water systems. Examples are…
Aquafina – reverse osmosis filtered ‘municipal water’ purified with charcoal filtration and ozonation. Available in carbonated and flavored varieties sweetened with sucralose*.
Dasani – reverse osmosis filtered ‘tap water’ with minute amounts of man-made added. Available in flavored varieties sweetened with sucralose*.
*sucralose – controversial chlorinated sugar. It is NOT natural.
Reverse Osmosis and Distilled Water
Oddly enough, drinking distilled or reverse osmosis water (with the goal of protecting us from toxins) may have been our own undoing.
These waters are lacking any minerals, and cause a ‘leaching’ effect in our body of such important minerals as calcium.
And, don’t let any water sales person tell you that distilled or reverse osmosis is the ‘best’ water to drink. Back in the 1950s, they used to use distilled water to top up car batteries, along with a WARNING “not fit for human consumption”.
How the times have changed!

“The things we must NEVER add to our drinks. If you do, you’ll derail any chance of successfully treating your psoriasis.”
To your health, naturally!
