What do Stephen Colbert & I have in common? We both are looking at the many issues surrounding water this month.

This month, my free teleclass was all about WATER. If you missed it, you can dial this number to catch a recording of it. Call (712) 432-1286 and press 670585#. If you’d like, you can purchase a copy of the class notes which include more information on a deeper level along with resources. Click here to go to my website for the notes.

Mr. Colbert dedicated an entire episode of the Colbert Report on water that is not to be missed. One of my goals in life is to appear on the Report someday, this dude really makes me chuckle! Now that I’ve put that out there publicly in cyberspace I’m sure it will happen.

Back to water…Even if you don’t listen to the class, get the class notes, or watch the Colbert Report, here’s one tip that everyone should consider doing. Get a filter for your shower! While many people already filter their water for better taste and to decrease harmful elements including Chlorine and Fluoride, not everyone realizes how important it is to take the chlorine out of our showers! The steam we inhale while showering can contain up to 50 times the level of chemicals than tap water due to the fact that chlorine and other contaminants vaporize at a lower temperature than water. Inhalation is a much more harmful means of exposure since the chlorine gas ( chloroform) we inhale goes directly into our blood stream. When we drink contaminated water the toxins are partially filtered out by our kidneys and digestive system.

If you’ve got lung issues, skin issues, immune problems, this simple step of adding a filter will significantly improve your health. Here is one link to shower filters, there are many others out there.
