Question from Andrea
Hi Debra,
Recently we were informed that our municipality will soon be brought into compliance with a federal mandate requiring the treatment of our water supply with UV irradiation to help eliminate harmful bacteria and other pathogens from the water.
Having in mind Dr. Masaru Emoto’s work on water molecules, do you or any of your readers know if treating water in this way might “denature,” or in any other way alter the chemical or molecular structure, or the natural health-giving properties, of the water?
If so, might there be a potential negative effect on health if UV irradiated water is used for drinking, cooking or bathing over the long term?
And are there any ways to mitigate or offset any potentially harmful effects of using UV irradiated water, as I don’t believe it will be possible to opt out of receiving it.
Thanks very much for your kind reply.
Debra’s Answer
I’m familiar with UV irradiation of water and also Dr. Emoto’s work, so I feel qualified to answer your question.
First, as you know from Dr Emoto’s work, the structure of water can be easily changed for better or worse by pollutants, energy, and even mental thoughts.
I doubt that UV irradiation would have a negative effect on water. All day long I drink water from a Pure Effect water filter with a UV lamp, which is present not only to kill living micro-organisms, but to disintegrate toxic chemical pollutants. The creator of this filter knows more about water and water quality than any person I’ve ever known.
I also grew up with UV treated water. My father was very interested in this technology for water purification of all kinds, particularly for swimming pools and drinking water. He invested a system many years ago that was sold to a company to be used for drinking water purification in Third World countries.
So I have no concern about water treatment plants using UV treatment, which would reduce the amount of toxic chemical disinfectants that need to be used.
Now, does this affect the natural health-giving properties of the water? Yes, it would. But your tap water is already terribly not in it’s natural state due to all the chemicals added to it. UV irradiation would not add more damage to already damaged water, but in fact might contribute to damaging the water less by reducing the amount of chemicals used.
Ultraviolet light is a wavelength of the sun and is found in nature. For water disinfection purposes, it’s the same wavelength, but more concentrated to have a quicker effect. Since it’s light energy, it’s not adding anything toxic to the water.
I want to make clear that UV ‘irradiation” is not adding radiation to the water. UV irradiation is simply shining ultraviolet light from a lamp on the water. It’s like sunbeams shining on the water.
I don’t see any potential negative health effect from shining a UV lamp on water.
Now if you want to restore water’s natural life giving properties there are several things you can do.
1. Get a PureEffect Water Filter. Igor has designed these filters especially to transform tap water as close as possible to natural state. I’ve been drinking this water every day for about four years and my body loves it.
2. Get a Flaska water bottle . This bottle restructures the energy matrix of the water to be closer to natural state. The Glass Water Bottle That Restructures Tap Water to Be Like Spring Water
3. Visit the Dancing With Water. There you will find a lot of information on the nature of water and advanced ways you can restore water to it’s natural state. Going Beyond Filtered Water
The best water I ever drank was from a spring at the foot of Mt. Shasta, in California. That water was immensely alive and nourishing to my body.
Start out by getting a PureEffect filter because you need to remove pollutants before you can restructure the water. Then get a Flaska bottle. And then start learning more about how very much you can influence the health-giving properties of water.
Thanks very much, Debra!
