00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:12.480 So you can go there and you can see what's in your water. 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:17.200 Or you can just say, you know what? 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:18.720 I don't want to know. 00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:20.399 Sometimes that's better. 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:21.440 I don't want to know. 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:22.879 I'm just not gonna drink it. 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.759 I'm gonna do something to take care of myself. 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.120 I'm going to do something to take care of my family. 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:34.159 I'm going to do something to take care of anyone who comes

00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.240 Or you're drinking tap water when you're out and about. 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:32.160 So get a grail, filter the water, and then what? 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:35.920 And then structure the water. 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.640 Now, here's my flask of bottle. 00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:49.440 Sounds like a commercial, but really, folks, I'm just trying to help you out here to make sure that you are doing the best you can with the water because again, we're made of water. 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:50.960 Tom talks a lot, Dr. 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:56.640 Tom Cowan talks a lot about structured water, and we're going to talk about that in a minute. 00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:03.119 But and yes, structured water is the Cadillac. 00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:06.720 Structured water is what we all need to be drinking. 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:14.400 But the structured, the first level of what we need to be drinking is filtered water, right? 00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.039 You don't want a structured, dirty water. 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:20.000 We don't want to structure water that's full of chemicals. 00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:23.839 We don't want chemicals in our bodies, none of them. 00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:36.720 Not from our water, not from our beauty supplies, not from our cleaning supplies, not from the air with all the planes going over chemtrails, right? 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:38.480 We don't want toxins in the body. 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:44.319 So the first level of wellness to me, in terms of what are we consuming? 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:46.079 What are we consuming? 00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:47.200 What are we drinking? 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:50.640 What are we cooking with is clean water. 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:52.640 Please. 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:55.839 Clean water, everybody. 00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:00.079 So water clean first, then structure it. 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.960 So when I travel, that's what I use. 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:08.160 I use a Grail G-R-A-Y-L water bottle, right? 00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:09.599 To filter the water. 00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:15.440 I go like this because it plunges down, water comes up, and then I pour it into my flaska. 00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:18.559 I do this because this is a flaska bottle. 00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:20.480 You can see it say flaska, right? 00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:22.559 It's just in Tom's little thing. 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:30.480 So Flaska bottle structures the water just by shaking it because it makes a vortex. 00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:31.200 Right? 00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:37.599 So yes, it's very important to also drink structured water. 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.039 And the first thing we've got to do is make sure. 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:44.400 I never take it out, so it's a bit of a mess here. 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.319 Um, is make sure that it's clean water first. 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:54.720 So charcoal filters, believe it or not, are amazing. 00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:59.599 They're the lowest tech, they're not high-end at all, but they do a really, really good job. 00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.359 Charco filters, 10-stage water filters. 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:04.559 Right? 00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:07.440 10 stage water filters. 00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:18.000 People love reverse osmosis, but the reality, folks, is it takes a for every gallon of water you you do through RO, it takes a gallon of water to do. 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.960 So it's pretty high in terms of use of resources, right? 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:28.799 And RO water also takes out all of the minerals unless you remineralize. 00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:32.160 All right. 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:33.920 So that's my plea. 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:36.559 I'm asking you all, tell everyone you know. 00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:39.200 Please look, go just go in your kitchen. 00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:40.160 Just go in your kitchen. 00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:42.000 When we're done here, we'll go in our kitchens. 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:43.039 Doo-doo doo. 00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:50.880 Walk into the kitchen and look at your at your sink and think, is the water I'm drinking filtered? 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:52.559 Is it clean? 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.640 I'm not talking clean, full of chemicals, so there's no microbes in it. 00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:59.279 But is it clean? 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:00.400 Right? 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:02.240 And then is it structured? 00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:08.000 And if it's not clean, if I'm not filtering yet, what can I do about it? 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:08.720 Right? 00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:10.400 Check it out. 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:16.480 Now, the other thing that again, if you want to check it out, check out what's in your water. 00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:22.400 Go to the the EWG tap water database, tap water

database. 00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:33.279 There are other tap water databases, find one that you like, check them out, make sure they're good and they're reputable, and see what's in the water. 00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:41.920 And then go check out that study about you know, which filters should I use to get all this stuff out of my water. 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:46.880 Okay, there's one more point I want to make, and then I'll talk a little bit about structured water for fun. 00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.480 Okay, so here's here's the thing. 00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:56.559 A lot of you know that I'm also known as the gap chef because Dr. 00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.759 Natasha Camel McBride called me that. 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:01.200 She's dubbed me that. 00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:10.960 I'm the one who trains all the certified gaps practitioners and certified gaps coaches in the cooking techniques for gaps, or at least I have been for several years now. 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:11.680 Yeah. 00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:25.039 So I've spent a lot of time helping people reestablish their gut flora, helping people eat foods that help them digest their food, right? 00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:30.559 So lactofermented foods, live foods, cultured dairy. 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:32.240 We talk about this all the time. 00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:34.720 Eat and drink your probiotics. 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:36.079 Don't take a pill. 00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.640 Eat and drink your probiotics. 00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:42.880 Eat them sauerkraut, kimchi, right? 00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:44.319 Yogurt. 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:46.559 Drink them, kefir. 00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:48.160 Yeah? 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:50.960 Beet kavas, kombucha. 00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:51.920 What are we doing? 00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:53.279 What are we drinking and eating? 00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:55.519 We're eating and drinking our probiotics. 00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:06.000 So you're spending all this time eating and drinking your probiotics, and then you go to a restaurant and you drink some tap water. 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:09.519 What do you think just happened? 00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:16.799 It's not that it's sterile, it's full of chemicals. 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:20.720 Chemicals that kill microbes. 00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:26.079 Chemicals that kill the microbes you're all working so hard to eat and drink. 00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:29.279 So anyway, it's a really interesting thing, folks. 00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:35.359 I every once in a while I'm struck by an idea of like, we gotta talk about water. 00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:36.079 Why? 00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:39.440 Because because it is fundamental. 00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:41.359 Water is fundamental. 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:46.559 Water is fundamental to life, water is fundamental to health. 00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:49.759 What are you drinking and what are you cooking with? 00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:51.519 Right? 00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:54.319 What are you drinking and what are you cooking with? 00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:59.759 Now, as I said, we start with clean water. 00:23:59.920 --> 00:24:03.920 Like let's just get it, meaning, let's get all the chemicals out. 00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:09.039 So I'm not drinking a chemical soup every time I have a drink of water out of the tap. 00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:10.240 Right? 00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:12.240 We don't want to do that. 00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:13.839 I don't want to do it. 00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:23.279 I spend too much time trying to trying to teach people how to ferment and culture and blah de blah bloody blood and get better and be well. 00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:24.160 Yeah. 00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:31.119 So once you've got that down, we'll talk about what really is the Cadillac, which is spring water. 00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:32.640 That's what Tom would say. 00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:36.160 That's what, you know, spring water. 00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:38.960 Spring water is structured water. 00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:43.200 Spring water, water that comes out of a spring, like real springs, right? 00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:50.000 There's also a spring water database out there, meaning, can you find a spring near you? 00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:51.920 Is there a spring near you? 00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.119 I know that Tom actually goes and gets water from a spring. 00:24:55.359 --> 00:25:01.839 You get some glass jars or some big glass um container pitchers, yeah. 00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:05.519 And you go and you fill up your water at a spring. 00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:10.480 Spring water is the water of life. 00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:14.640 Structured water is the water of life. 00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:17.759 That's my, I'm just making that up as we're talking today, right? 00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:19.920 Structured water is living water. 00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:22.400 Structured water is the water of life. 00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:24.960 Structured water is what you're made of. 00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:26.559 And so we want you. 00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:35.599 I, people who want you to be well, want you to be drinking the water that's life-giving water, and that's structured water. 00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:39.200 Structured water comes from the earth. 00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:42.559 Structured water comes up out of the earth, right? 00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:43.680 In a spring. 00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:46.079 It springs up, it's pressure. 00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:49.200 It comes up through the earth and it's structured. 00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:51.759 That's what we want you to be drinking. 00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:54.640 I mean, if you want to be well, that's what you want to be drinking. 00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:57.920 So if you're near a spring, go look it up if you don't know. 00:25:58.079 --> 00:26:01.920 It's maybe right around the bend, maybe five hours away, maybe five states away. 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:02.640 I don't know. 00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:07.599 But look for some spring water near you and see if you

00:41:03.199 --> 00:41:03.519 No. 00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:05.840 Not at all. 00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:06.880 Not at all. 00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:07.440 Okay. 00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:11.840 So yes, I trust the environmental work working group implicitly. 00:41:12.079 --> 00:41:17.920 Would you recommend letting water stay on crystals, amber or silver for 24 hours? 00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:26.320 So I let me back up. 00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:28.639 I love gems and crystals. 00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:29.599 I have many. 00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:31.280 I've worked with them, etc. 00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:35.840 I wouldn't know which crystals to use. 00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:42.239 Maybe just quartz, uh, maybe just a good quartz, but you can definitely look into those things. 00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:47.679 There are people working with crystals to purify, both to purify and structure water. 00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:49.920 So yeah, go for it. 00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:51.599 I'm not sure about silver. 00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:53.760 I am not a silver. 00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:56.400 Hmm. 00:41:56.559 --> 00:41:57.679 What can I say? 00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:00.000 Silver is a metal, folks. 00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:12.960 Unless it's in a homeopathic, you know, or a homeopathic or anthroposophical formula. 00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:16.559 I am not like, oh, let's all use silver. 00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:17.679 Colloidal silver. 00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:19.599 I'm not a colloidal silver girl. 00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:20.400 Neither is Dr. 00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:21.039 Natasha. 00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:33.760 But anyway, um, so I'm not sure about those, but I know that some people let their water sit not directly on silver, but on things like the flower of life and things like that. 00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:35.119 That structures water. 00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:41.280 So take a look around, see what you like, see what resonates with you about structuring, right? 00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:50.960 Is it a good idea to always add a pinch of sea salt, Celtic sea salt, in my structured flask of water bottle? 00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:57.039 That depends on if your water has minerals in it already. 00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:04.239 So if you're filtering, let me start in a different place. 00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:11.360 If you're filtering with an RO filter, reverse osmosis filter that does not replace minerals, then the answer is yes. 00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:15.920 Um, I personally do not use Celtic salt. 00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:17.840 I use um, which you can. 00:43:18.079 --> 00:43:19.119 Celtic salt's great. 00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:22.320 Baja gold is great, Celtic salt is great. 00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:24.239 There are some good salts out there. 00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:28.559 I use, do they call them ocean minerals? 00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:30.960 Ocean minerals from Baja Gold. 00:43:31.039 --> 00:43:32.559 So they're already in solution. 00:43:32.639 --> 00:43:33.679 It's like a sole. 00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:36.880 That's what I put in my water. 00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:38.320 I'm not sure. 00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:50.480 I would check out I would check out the Flaska website and see if they think it's a good idea to put salt in your Flaska. 00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:58.159 I'm just thinking about it, maybe abrasive or coarse, not that you're putting coarse salt in there, but I would check that out first. 00:43:58.320 --> 00:43:59.760 Just see what

they have to say. 00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:03.599 About like maintaining the integrity of the bottle. 00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:04.320 Yeah. 00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:07.599 I mean, it is a good idea to remineralize, right? 00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:15.760 Adding a pinch of Celtic sea salt is remineralizing, or it's putting minerals into the water, which is a very, very good thing to do. 00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:22.239 My thought is, I guess my question is whether or not it's a good idea to put it in the bottle. 00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:23.760 I don't know that answer. 00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:26.159 So I would check with them about that. 00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:33.280 Okay, I can tell the difference from non-structured to flask of bottle structured water. 00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:36.159 It tastes sweeter, and my body wants to drink it. 00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:37.440 It is so strange. 00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:40.239 It's not strange, it's real. 00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:41.840 Do you notice a difference also? 00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:43.920 I have been noticing a difference. 00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:48.239 I feel more hydrated when I drink structured water. 00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:49.199 And what does that mean? 00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:51.119 That means I'm not thirsty all the time. 00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:56.000 And it also means I drink less water because I don't need it. 00:44:56.400 --> 00:44:57.440 Just think about this. 00:44:57.599 --> 00:44:59.199 Ooh, this is really good. 00:45:00.239 --> 00:45:08.559 So a long time ago, about 23 years ago, I was pregnant and I was bringing in water. 00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:12.400 We lived right outside DC and I was ordering water. 00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:14.239 I was having it delivered. 00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:17.039 Uh it was, you know, it was early days. 00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:21.119 I having it delivered from a place called Drink More Water. 00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:24.880 What I found out, I was drinking all this water, like drinking water all day. 00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:26.719 I was still thirsty, thirsty, thirsty. 00:45:26.960 --> 00:45:27.519 Why? 00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:29.519 Because it was R.O. 00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:31.679 water with no minerals in it. 00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:34.639 Your body can't use it. 00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:47.679 And we know that our bodies are much more efficient, like they work better when we drink structured water, and structured water has a charge. 00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:49.840 What are minerals? 00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:51.360 They're charged. 00:45:51.760 --> 00:45:54.400 So yeah, I I definitely feel different. 00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:58.480 And of course, I haven't. 00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:03.599 I don't make it, I do not make it a practice to drink non-structured water anymore. 00:46:03.920 --> 00:46:07.760 That's pretty much the only thing, not the only thing, but probably 90% of what I drink. 00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:08.639 Yeah. 00:46:09.679 --> 00:46:10.000 Okay. 00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:13.519 Any suggestions for well water testing? 00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:14.800 I really don't. 00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:15.840 I'm sorry. 00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:17.840 That's one thing that I don't have. 00:46:21.599 --> 00:46:22.719 I'm just trying to think. 00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:24.159 I'm thinking in my mind. 00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:28.320 Um I would just I would look. 00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:36.639 I would do some research and you know, do the best you can and find a place to test well water. 00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:39.199 Yeah. 00:46:40.079 --> 00:46:49.920 See, the difficulty with well water folks is to me and actually Tom talked about this last week on something. 00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:55.199 I don't remember what he was saying, but or what forum that he was speaking with. 00:46:55.760 --> 00:47:04.800 But um he was talking about one of the difficulties with well water is that it's it's stagnant, like it just sits. 00:47:05.360 --> 00:47:11.679 And in order for there to be health, we want movement. 00:47:11.840 --> 00:47:15.679 That's why spring water has movement, right? 00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:20.239 It comes up through the earth, or sometimes it comes down the mountains, right? 00:47:20.400 --> 00:47:26.880 Down the mountains and over the rocks and listens to the birds and right, picks up minerals along the way. 00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:28.960 There's movement, right? 00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:34.000 Stagnation, stagnation equals illness, stagnation equals. 00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:36.800 That's why we all need to keep moving, right? 00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:39.679 Anyway, I don't have any ideas, but I would look. 00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:44.000 I don't know a lab where you can test your filtered water. 00:47:44.239 --> 00:47:49.920 I do know that there are filtered, you know, water, there are water tests out there. 00:47:50.239 --> 00:47:51.920 Maybe EWG has one. 00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:52.719 I don't know. 00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:54.400 I would check it out. 00:47:54.800 --> 00:47:56.000 Just look around. 00:47:56.239 --> 00:48:01.599 Okay, I put the drinking spring uh information in the chat. 00:48:03.199 --> 00:48:04.880 All right, find a spring. 00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:06.880 Okay, next question in restaurant. 00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:08.639 Are you cooking with purified water? 00:48:08.719 --> 00:48:09.199 Yeah. 00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:10.480 That is the next question. 00:48:10.639 --> 00:48:11.519 Hello, hello. 00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:12.000 Yep. 00:48:12.400 --> 00:48:16.079 Are they cooking with I'll bet you a buck the answer is no? 00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:20.960 I mean, we know that there are restaurants out there. 00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:22.719 Five, no, I'm kidding. 00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:28.239 Like a handful that are filtering their water. 00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:33.679 They're they're filtering the water that they're serving, and they're filtering the water they're cooking with. 00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:58.639 I would bet, I don't know this 100%, that my friend

and colleague Kristen Canty, who has four restaurants now in the Boston area, um, that are West in Price, uh, all West and A price principles, and she also uses no seed oils and la la la la la, that they would be filtering the water in that restaurant. 00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:03.199 So again, ask the question are you filtering your water in the restaurant? 00:49:03.440 --> 00:49:09.199 Now, there is a there is a resource that you can look at that may be helpful to people. 00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:17.920 I'm not sure how robust this database is yet, but the Weston A. 00:49:18.079 --> 00:49:38.159 Price Foundation, right, has something called um 12 spoons, which is an app or a database, both they have an app and a database that tells you uh if the rest which restaurants are following which principles of the 12 spoons. 00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:39.920 So, like do they use broth? 00:49:40.159 --> 00:49:45.920 Do they not, that they use butter and lard, and do they use, you know, that type, that type stuff. 00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:48.159 Um, those types of qualifications. 00:49:48.320 --> 00:49:49.920 So you may want to check that out. 00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:51.199 But it's a great idea. 00:49:51.280 --> 00:49:55.280 There are, you know, here's what's happening, folks, which is a great thing. 00:49:55.440 --> 00:49:57.440 So I've been in this game for a long time. 00:49:57.599 --> 00:49:59.360 You could see my gray hair. 00:49:59.920 --> 00:50:01.360 Um, long time. 00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:19.039 So 28 years I've been in this game, meaning the game of like looking at food and looking at sourcing and looking at the land and looking at farming and looking at water and looking at cooking techniques and health and well-being and how to be well, blah, blah, blah. 00:50:19.119 --> 00:50:19.360 Right? 00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:21.440 Like we've been doing this a long time. 00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:25.760 I just sent a note to Sally the other day. 00:50:26.480 --> 00:50:28.320 Sally Fallon now Morel. 00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:31.519 I sent her a note to congratulate her. 00:50:31.599 --> 00:50:35.599 She has a new book, which you may want to check out called I don't know what it's called. 00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:37.360 It's on uh natural remedies. 00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:42.480 It's probably the Nourishing Traditions book of natural remedies, maybe something like that. 00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:47.599 And I sent her a note and I said, Hey, looks like we're finally gaining some ground. 00:50:47.840 --> 00:50:49.920 It's only taken 28 years. 00:50:50.239 --> 00:50:53.599 Meaning, people are asking, ask the question. 00:50:53.840 --> 00:51:04.239 You know, um, one of the things that Joel Salatin said to me, again, 25 years ago, was uh people vote with their pocketbooks. 00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:05.920 Like vote with your pocketbook. 00:51:06.079 --> 00:51:33.679 Meaning, vote with your ha, we're election time now, but but meaning, like the more people buy foods that we want to, the more, like the more we go and support those farmers and buy food from farms, and the more that we buy, you know, raw milk instead of commercially made milk, the more that we ask for things like, hey, do you filter your water in the restaurant? 00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:36.239 Like there's they start paying attention. 00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:41.519 Use your voice, ask the question, ask for what you want, right? 00:51:41.840 --> 00:51:54.159 And then use, you know, uh so we use uh vote with your pocketbook, is what Joel says, which is use your money to support the things that you care about. 00:51:54.400 --> 00:52:02.880 Use like buy the food that supports that supports the things that you care about, the farmers, right? 00:52:03.199 --> 00:52:05.360 Support them, right? 00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:06.400 All those things. 00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:08.960 Those are all very, very good things to do. 00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:09.679 Yeah. 00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:14.000 And ask the restaurateurs, go to the manager, call them up first. 00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:16.239 Hey, do you guys use filtered water? 00:52:16.559 --> 00:52:18.079 We could start another movement. 00:52:18.239 --> 00:52:21.280 Like I said, I've been in this game for 28 years, right? 00:52:21.360 --> 00:52:26.000 Like, meaning, like, we've gotten some ground, we've gotten some traction. 00:52:26.079 --> 00:52:28.960 There's kombucha in many, many, many stores. 00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:30.559 People actually know what the heck it is. 00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:36.000 Like, there's kombucha, there's like real food, there's like a real food thing now. 00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:39.039 Yes, it's only taken us a quarter of a century to do. 00:52:39.199 --> 00:52:40.960 Not too bad, quarter of a century. 00:52:41.119 --> 00:52:42.559 I'll take it, right? 00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:47.440 It's not a hundred years, it's taken us 25 years to make an impact. 00:52:47.599 --> 00:53:05.199 So if you care about the water in your in your city, if you care about the water in your town, if you care about the water in the restaurants you go to, start asking the questions and saying, I don't want fluoride in my water, I don't want chlor, you know, chlorine in my water, I don't want forever chemicals in my water. 00:53:05.360 --> 00:53:06.480 Take them out. 00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:08.000 Right? 00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:11.440 Start asking, and then we'll get another change, right? 00:53:11.519 --> 00:53:12.800 We'll get another change. 00:53:12.880 --> 00:53:15.760 They'll start paying attention and they'll make a change. 00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:18.239 That's what we're asking for, right? 00:53:18.880 --> 00:53:24.639 But you gotta open your mouth and you've got to ask the question, and you're allowed to ask the questions. 00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:27.840 This is how we get things changed, right? 00:53:28.719 --> 00:53:30.400 This is how we get things changed. 00:53:30.559 --> 00:53:33.440 So, one more time with feeling. 00:53:33.599 -->

00:53:37.119 The best water to be drinking is spring water. 00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:41.039 It's spring water because it's naturally structured, right? 00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:43.599 And I've given you some resources for that. 00:53:44.159 --> 00:53:49.920 If you're going to drink water out of a tap, please filter it first. 00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:53.599 Filter first, structure second. 00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:56.719 Filter first, structure second. 00:53:57.679 --> 00:54:07.920 And maybe then add, you know, go ahead and add some minerals to it, whether it's the ocean minerals from Baja Gold or it's a pinch of Celtic salt or whatever, right? 00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:08.960 Then do that. 00:54:09.119 --> 00:54:10.880 But please let your people know. 00:54:11.039 --> 00:54:11.920 It's important. 00:54:12.159 --> 00:54:13.920 It's important, really important. 00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:14.800 Okay. 00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:17.119 Pardon me. 00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:18.480 You are awesome. 00:54:18.639 --> 00:54:19.199 Thank you. 00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:21.280 Thank you for your time and knowledge. 00:54:21.360 --> 00:54:24.400 Every Thursday, I always try my best to attend your live session. 00:54:24.639 --> 00:54:25.199 Excellent. 00:54:25.360 --> 00:54:26.480 Yes, fabulous. 00:54:26.639 --> 00:54:27.840 I'm so happy you're here. 00:54:28.079 --> 00:54:39.280 I'd love for you all to be here next week and to bring a friend or 10, let them know this is going on, and that I'm here to answer your questions live about whatever topic we're talking about, right?

00:55:04.320 --> 00:55:06.559 I would go to realmilk.com. 00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:10.239 RealMilk.com. 00:55:10.400 --> 00:55:14.559 It is a um, hold on, real milk.com. 00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:23.119 It is a uh project of the Weston A Price Foundation, folks. 00:55:23.840 --> 00:55:26.639 Um, so I would go there. 00:55:26.880 --> 00:55:36.800 And you can find that's where you can find the real milk, like near you, but you can also find lots of research and articles, and that's where I would start. 00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:44.320 Okay, how long can spring water sit in the bottle you have collected before it is no longer good? 00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:49.760 Ah, you mean it's no longer, you know that that is a good question. 00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:54.079 I'm not I am not sure that structured water unstructures. 00:55:55.440 --> 00:55:56.559 It's a great question. 00:55:56.639 --> 00:55:59.440 It's probably a question for Jerry Pollock. 00:55:59.679 --> 00:56:05.760 Um, I'm not sure that structured water, so spring water again is structured water. 00:56:06.000 --> 00:56:09.679 So I'm assuming you're wondering how long it will stay structured. 00:56:09.840 --> 00:56:12.880 I would think it's going to stay structured forever. 00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:34.559 And frankly, I mean, the worst that you'd need to do, right, would be to get that spring water that's old and then put it in a flask bottle and shake it, or use an analemma wand, or find one of the other beautiful things you can do to structure the water to restructure it. 00:56:34.719 --> 00:56:35.519 Not a problem. 00:56:35.679 --> 00:56:42.559 I mean, it's just such a blessing to be able to be so close to a spring, to be able to get spring water, right? 00:56:43.119 --> 00:56:44.239 It's really, really good. 00:56:44.320 --> 00:56:45.679 I hope that's helpful. 00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:46.559 All right. 00:56:46.800 --> 00:56:50.000 Any other questions, folks, about water?
