Great final quote from Bill Marler: "You can't stop consenting adults from being stupid," Marler said. "But we should at least try."

The article hit it right on the head. The current population has been so protected with cleaner food, cleaner water, and advanced vaccines that they don't realize that just a short time ago people contracted numerous diseases from many sources that are unheard of now days. Unfortunately many of these people who don't believe in vaccines are also letting many diseases that have been non-existent for 50 years reappear such as whooping cough. We have had several cases of that here in the last few years when you never heard of it in the past. Many people here in Montana who backpack to areas with relatively pristine water carry water filters to prevent giardia. Unfortunately it may take a new outbreak to wake people up. I hope these guys have good insurance!

Hi Trudi; red flag popped up! You may want to investigate this one personally. Expression, " If someone tries to sell you a diamond ring for 10 cents, there is a good chance it is not worth a dime". I review on average 3,000 scientific papers and companies wanting to begin a business on a new science discovery every year. I read the label on the bottle and the notes of the food safety expert??? I find it suspect when anyone warns people of drinking pure spring water and then misrepresents the factual information. Spring water is always collected at the spring not a river miles away. So every word about the negative effects can be erased from this paper. The next obvious "Tell" When pushing a personal agenda that is in the twilight zone you will see where one adjective will do multiple are used for effect. These silicon people are not uneducated and are aware of the negative effect on all health by the use of chlorine. As the WWTP are being phased out the newer natural processers are not coming online fast enough to keep up. ( the only crime I CAN see is the $60.99 charge for the 2.5 gal container of spring water). Rain water collection is still #1.
