Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72630148 This is the only way billionaires depopulate and degrade peasants for free that all Americans suffer. Recently they found new methods of depopulating peasants, such as RNA vaccine, "fake" low quality food, RoundUp, etc. But if you are smart enough to avoid all of that, water is still last obstacle. And it requires information ONLY. No extra resources are required, such as consuming Salmon or other oily fish. Mere knowledge is enough, and few Kopeks to set it up. Uh huh. And you being some out of control, uncivilized, narcissistic dick will not convey the message you seemingly want to convey or help educate anyone. Were you raised by animals? Ghetto street thugs? Give me a reason you believe communicating like some narcissistic toddler needing to demean the audience will educate or help anyone? Oh, that's right. It's not about helping or educating anyone, is it? It's about 'look at me, look at me' omnipotent attention hoing and berating others because you have bad genes, your brain is miswired and your momma didn't raise you right. . |

They drank from a pail left in the rain, a stream, a creek, a river, a pond or from a shallow well they dug themselves. If they got sick they either died or they survived. Pretty simple to figure out how they faired by seeing that you are on this rock along with seven billion other folks. Fear porn is pretty prevelant, yet if we all go back to what our forefathers did to survive I bet a lot of us will. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29706669 Case in point, if you are a big prepper and have the choice between a cattle pond or a berkey water filter and you know the berkey didn't pass the EPA standards for filter water AND your berkey sprung a leak, would you then start drinking from the cattle pond? After a week I bet you would. You're not too bright, are ya. 200 years ago, they weren't drinking water with hundreds of various chemicals and toxins in it. All you had to do was boil the water to kill off biologicals like Giardia, etc... Nowadays, everything is poisoned. So much so, that if you take a care-free willy-nilly approach like you, it could easily be the last ting you do, or make you WISH that it was. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 83443319 United States 10/12/2022 07:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, I have a Burkey black filter system. I'm still going to keep using it. It does a fantastic job keeping the sludge junk out of my drinking water. I live out in the middle of a large forest and I have well water here. The Burkey filter doesn't remove calcium. I checked the Alexapure testing data and it apparently they leave stuff out of the test results that it doesn't remove too, such as calcium. While calcium is something your body needs, other things such as my sous vide cooker doesn't like it. I use that a lot and thus I go through a lot of CLR keeping it clean. I did order an Alexapure filter system anyhow, as it's probably no worse than the burkey filters. And I do need a second gravity filter system. I think though I'll probably buy or build a distillation setup. It's the only way I'm going to get calcium out of the water here. The water contains a lot calcium out here. If there is a filter system that removes calcium, it probably would need frequent filter changes. And a still would work best out here. Lots of free fire wood all over the place. |

I hate the plastic pitchers so I filter it and immediately transfer it to other pitchers, but I'm pretty confident the Zero filter works great.

Find out All About the Berkey Lawsuit If you've tried different water filters, you may have heard of a Berkey lawsuit in 2023. Here's an update on the Berkey water filter lawsuit. Why aren't Berkey filters NSF/ANSI certified? According to Wirecutter by The New York Times, one of the big problems with Berkey water filters is that they aren't NSF/ANSI certified. Wirecutter tested Berkey filters that it found to be inconsistent with the results of water purification tests conducted by Berkey. It concluded that it would only recommend NSF/ANSI-certified filters since its standards are rigorous and transparent. [link to www.greenmatters.com (secure)] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79538137 [link to www.bitchute.com (secure)] Congressman Matt Gaetz Probes EPA Classifying Berkey Water Filters as Pesticides October 16, 2023 Press Release Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01) sent a letter to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan regarding the agency’s new ruling classifying the gravity-fed mechanical water filters sold by Berkey Water Systems as pesticides. Rep. Gaetz’s letter highlights the EPA’s unprecedented attempt to put Berkey out of business. Without any administrative process, the EPA used its regulatory authority to classify the company’s gravity-fed mechanical water filters as pesticides under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) due to its incorporation of silver. Under the new classification, Berkey will now be forced to label its products with aggressive warnings. Accordingly, Rep. Gaetz is requesting specific documents be provided to his office that the EPA used to determine its actions. Full text of Congressman Gaetz’s letter to EPA Administrator Regan can be found HERE. Additionally, exclusive coverage of the letter by Washington Examiner can be found HERE. LETTER TEXT Dear Administrator Regan: On August 9, 2023, New Millennium Concepts, Ltd. (NMCL) and the James B. Shepherd Trust, the brand owner of Berkey Water Systems, filed a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) seeking to prevent the EPA from classifying Berkey filters as pesticides. Berkey has provided millions of Americans with gravity-fed mechanical water filters over a span of more than 25 years, never causing harm to anyone. The EPA has sought to justify this classification by noting that Berkey filters incorporate silver in their design, which is not on its own considered a pesticide under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) or under prior EPA guidance.
