Tap Water/City Water

Hi Everyone;
We have well water, but still use bottled water for drinking or eating (like boiling pasta). If your water supply is anywhere near a river - you will get heavy metals in the water. Heavy metals never dissolve - they just settle to the bottom of the river, and then when you get a heavy rain or thunderstorm - of course the river starts to churn, and some of those heavy metals get into the water system, and DO NOT get filtered out - therefore, anyone drinking from a municipal water supply may get these into their body. Boiling water gets rid of the bacteria - but NOT the heavy metals.
I urge all MDS patients - or any patient for that matter - to NOT use a city/municipal water supply - no matter how much you think it is filtered.
Take care everyone.

((((HUGS))))
