History

The Degradation of Our Water

"Pure water honors the body's divine design."

Our water—the very substance God designed to sustain life, cleanse the body, and nourish creation—has been systematically degraded. Pure springs once delivered not only hydration but essential trace minerals like lithium, supporting brain health, mood stability, and neurological function. Today, contamination forces many to distill or heavily filter water, stripping beneficial minerals while desperately removing toxins. From industrial dumping and agricultural runoff to geoengineering and deliberate additives, profit-driven decisions have turned a divine gift into a vector for chronic disease, immune dysfunction, and diminished human potential.

This isn't accidental. The broader story includes industrial pollution, pharmaceuticals, microplastics, pesticide runoff, and loss of natural purity. The consequences are clear in rising chronic illness. Yet there is hope. By understanding this history and reclaiming responsibility through filtration, natural sources, and root-cause living, we can honor the body's divine design and pursue true healing.

Pre-1800s

Pre-Industrial Era: Pure Springs and Divine Design

Before widespread industrialization, water sources remained largely pristine. Indigenous peoples and early settlers drew from clear springs, rivers, and wells fed by natural filtration.

Before widespread industrialization, water sources remained largely pristine. Indigenous peoples and early settlers drew from clear springs, rivers, and wells fed by natural filtration. These waters supported vibrant health, free from chemical accumulation.

This purity reflected God's intentional design: water as a life-giving force. Chronic diseases linked to toxins were rare. The body thrived on this clean foundation.

1800s–Early 1900s

Early Industrial Era: The Rise of Pollution

The Industrial Revolution unleashed factory discharge of heavy metals, dyes, and waste into rivers. Agricultural expansion added early runoff.

The Industrial Revolution unleashed factory discharge of heavy metals, dyes, and waste into rivers. Agricultural expansion added early runoff. Public awareness grew, but enforcement lagged. Health impacts included outbreaks and early toxin-linked weakness. This era planted seeds for immune compromise.

1940s–1970s

Post-WWII Chemical Boom: Synthetic Assault

WWII and its aftermath exploded synthetic chemical production. Pesticides like DDT led to atrazine (1950s) and glyphosate (1970s).

WWII and its aftermath exploded synthetic chemical production. Pesticides like DDT led to atrazine (1950s) and glyphosate (1970s). Industrial agriculture scaled up, with heavy rains washing nitrates, phosphates, and persistent herbicides into waterways. The Cuyahoga River fire symbolized the crisis.

Atrazine and glyphosate are endocrine disruptors linked to hormonal imbalances and immune issues. Regulatory responses offered partial relief but failed to curb non-point source pollution. We sacrificed purity for scale.

1940s–Present

The Fluoridation Era and Regulatory Failures

Mid-20th century brought one of the most brazen interventions: community water fluoridation. Before addition to public supplies, fluoride compounds were sold as roach and rodent poison.

Mid-20th century brought one of the most brazen interventions: community water fluoridation. Before addition to public supplies, fluoride compounds were sold as roach and rodent poison. The research has always been rocky at best and routinely ignores adverse effects. It may strengthen/seal enamel and reduce cavities in the short run, but at a devastating long-term cost to the host: neurotoxicity, organ damage ("liquification"), pineal gland calcification (disrupting melatonin and awareness), and more. Municipalities often incorporate 3-10X what regulators consider safe.

Without question, fluoride lowers IQ and hinders brain development. It serves as a major weapon that promotes docility, making people more susceptible to official narratives while dismissing challenges as "conspiratorial." This isn't protection—it preserves teeth short-term but destroys the human being long-term. Faith calls us to reject interventions that tamper with God's design for the mind and body.

Modern Contaminants: Pharmaceuticals, Microplastics, Forever Chemicals, and Atmospheric Influences

Today's water carries legacy pollution plus new threats: PFAS, pharmaceutical residues, microplastics, and intensified agricultural runoff. Glyphosate and atrazine remain ubiquitous.

Today's water carries legacy pollution plus new threats: PFAS, pharmaceutical residues, microplastics, and intensified agricultural runoff. Glyphosate and atrazine remain ubiquitous. Glyphosate has fueled an explosion of cancers, with exceptionally high rates among farmers and landscapers. Atrazine is a potent endocrine disruptor; landmark frog research showed it "bends gender"—chemically castrating males, inducing hermaphroditism, and turning genetic males into functional females at low doses. Similar hormonal disruption raises serious human concerns.

Compounding this is geoengineering (cloud seeding, stratospheric aerosol proposals, weather modification). These introduce particles that alter rainfall and deposit contaminants into water supplies.

Corporations and captured politicians deflect responsibility through Mockingbird media narratives, blaming the general population's habits while their corner-cutting, profit-driven practices cause the worst damage. This protects greed and avoids accountability.

The cumulative load overwhelms treatment plants and burdens bodies with inflammation, endocrine chaos, and autoimmune risk.

Today

Conclusion

The degradation of our water supply—from pristine, mineral-rich springs to today's toxic brew—is the direct result of greedy, corner-cutting motives.

The degradation of our water supply—from pristine, mineral-rich springs to today's toxic brew—is the direct result of greedy, corner-cutting motives. Natural water was meant to nourish with trace minerals; instead, we distill aggressively to survive. Fluoride dumbs down and pacifies; pesticides drive cancer and disrupt development; geoengineering and runoff add further chaos.

Reject the blame-shifting. Your remission journey proves healing is possible through detox, diet, and root causes. Test water, distill/filter strategically (re-mineralize selectively), support regenerative agriculture, and demand accountability.

Pure water honors the body's divine design. By exposing the tactics and returning to natural principles, we steward creation and restore health. Truth and personal action overcome greed-driven decline. Start today—for your family and the waters that sustain us.

What Filtration Removes

Essential Trace Elements & Minerals in Natural Spring Water

Clean, unpolluted spring water—especially from mineral-rich geological sources—naturally contains a spectrum of dissolved minerals and trace elements absorbed during the water's long journey through rock and soil.

Clean, unpolluted spring water—especially from mineral-rich geological sources—naturally contains a spectrum of dissolved minerals and trace elements. These are absorbed during the water's long journey through rock and soil. Unlike heavily treated municipal water, pristine springs often deliver bioavailable forms that support cellular function, enzyme activity, hormone balance, and neurological health.

Major / Macro Minerals (higher concentrations)

  • Calcium — Bone health, muscle function, nerve signaling.
  • Magnesium — Over 300 enzymatic reactions, relaxation, heart rhythm, blood sugar control.
  • Potassium — Electrolyte balance, blood pressure, muscle/nerve function.
  • Sodium — Fluid balance (in balanced, lower amounts in good springs).
  • Bicarbonate — Natural pH buffering and alkalinity.

Essential Trace Elements (lower concentrations, but critical)

  • Lithium — Neuroprotective; supports mood stability, neurogenesis, and may reduce impulsivity/suicidality at nutritional doses. Often highlighted in healing waters.
  • Silica (Silicon) — Connective tissue, skin, hair, nails, and detoxification support.
  • Selenium — Antioxidant (glutathione peroxidase), thyroid function, immune modulation.
  • Zinc — Immune function, wound healing, DNA synthesis, taste/smell.
  • Copper — Iron metabolism, antioxidant enzymes, nervous system (in proper ratio with zinc).
  • Manganese — Bone formation, metabolism, antioxidant defense.
  • Iodine (variable) — Thyroid hormone production.
  • Chromium — Blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity.
  • Molybdenum — Detoxification enzymes (sulfite oxidase).
  • Boron — Bone health, hormone balance, vitamin D metabolism.
  • Vanadium — Insulin-mimetic effects, bone/teeth strength.
  • Cobalt (as part of B12) — Red blood cell formation and neurological health.
  • Iron (bioavailable trace amounts) — Oxygen transport (usually low in good springs to avoid oxidation).

Additional Beneficial Compounds Often Present

  • Dissolved organic matter and fulvic/humic acids (in some springs) — Aid mineral absorption and gentle detoxification.
  • Hydrogen sulfide or other sulfur compounds (in certain mineral springs) — Anti-inflammatory effects.

Key Context for Your Health & RootRemit Work

In the pre-industrial era, these elements contributed to resilience. Modern contamination (fluoride, glyphosate, atrazine, PFAS, etc.) forces distillation/RO for purity, which removes most of these beneficial minerals. Many people then strategically re-mineralize with clean sources (e.g., trace mineral drops high in lithium, magnesium, etc.) to restore the natural profile without the toxins.
