Drug Residues in My Drinking Water?

(Published 4/25/2008)

The study showing that traces of all kinds of drugs are in the daily drinking water of at least 41 million Americans certainly made a splash. The drugs identified include antibiotics, antidepressants, acetaminophen and ibuprofen and many more, as well as veterinary drugs. Right now, we have no idea of the impact of these drug residues or what we can do about them.

Drugs get into the water supply when we take pills and excrete amounts that our bodies don't absorb. Bit by bit, the excess goes into wastewater, which is treated before being recycled back into reservoirs and is cleaned again before being piped into homes. 

News reports of the Associated Press (AP) investigation revealed the presence of drugs in water supplies nationwide. Tests in Tucson where I live found three medications, an antibiotic, an anticonvulsant, and the byproduct of a heart medication. The federal government doesn't require that water be tested for drugs and hasn't set safety limits for drugs in water. Of the 62 major water providers the AP contacted during its investigation, only 28 tested for drugs.

Unfortunately, at present, there's not much individuals can do to protect their personal water supplies. Most home water filtering systems aren't designed to remove drug traces, and bottled water isn't tested for pharmaceuticals either.  The Adya® solution reduces the free chlorine in the water by 97.1%, the minimum amount required by the NSF Standard 42 is 50%, this product meets the requirements for chlorine reduction.  The Adya® solution also reduces the alkalinity and the pH of the water, it does not affect the hardness, it increases the total dissolved solids and chlorides. The results seem to indicate that the Adya solution converts the free chlorine (a hazardous chemical) into chlorides, a non hazardous (or less hazardous) chemical. 

Adya® Mineral solution was tested for antibacterial properties.  Four control batches were prepared with four different types of Coliform bacteria in sterilized water and tested for Total Coliform/e. coli using the m-ColiBlue-24 method. The four type of bacteria used were Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Proteus mirablis, and Pseudomonas aeuginosa. Four similar Coliform batches were prepared and treated with the Adya® Mineral solution in a 1:1000 proportion and tested again using the same Coliform method. Coliform bacteria were present in the control batches but absent in the treated batches. 

Adya® Inc. is a Company dedicated to providing you with the best ionic minerals nature has to offer. The drugs that have been recently identified in our drinking water (including bottled water) include antibiotics, antidepressants, acetaminophen and ibuprofen and many more, as well as veterinary drugs. Right now, we have no idea of the impact of these drug residues or what we can do about them. Our minerals have a powerful energy that not only destroys bad bacteria and removes chlorine, but also electrically energizes water which in turn energizes your body.
