Excess Phosphorus in Our Tap Water? What can we do?

Phosphorus (Phosphates?) in our Drinking Water? Are the levels too high, and what can we do?
We were selling our detox products at a Health and Wellness venue this last Saturday when we were approached by a lady who asked us about the excess phosphorus in our Tap Water.
When this was discussed further, we realised that there was much more to this than we originally envisaged, and that there was a good deal more to find out and understand.
To start with, phosphorus is essential to our wellbeing, but, as with so many other things, too much phosphorus is definitely hazardous to our health.
Where does the phosphorus in our tap water/drinking water come from?
The vast majority of phosphorus in our tap water comes from agricultural practices of fertilising the soils for the wheat, grain and plant production on our farmland. This is often placed/introduced in such a way to the soils that it is easy for surface run-off and leaching through the soils with the rain that finds its way into our water courses: the streams, brooks, lakes and rivers that head on downhill to our coastal areas and the sea.
Between the farmland and the coast are the country’s water extraction points. This is most often where the source of the tap water comes from, under license from the (now) privately owned water companies. These companies are liable to provide clean water for distribution to our households throughout the entire country. They even charge us for the priveledge of cleaning our water to make it safe, however, only to the government guidelines. These government guideleines only make reference to perhaps 12 or 15 tests for specific ingredients to be mitigated or ‘treated’ in our water supplies, and it is this list of testing that means that the water companies are measured against for proving that the water is ‘safe’, and that they are ‘compliant’.
Unfortunately for us, it appears that there are a vast number of toxins and ‘other’ ingredients being found in our mains water supplies, and phosphorus is one of them NOT tested for, and not mitigated or removed to levels that would or should be considered safe for regular consumption.
This is where the use of our ZEEBAGs™ come in , and the use of Zeolite Clinoptilolite is absolutely paramount in reducing the amount of phosphorus in our water supplies.
In researching the peer reviewed papers, the NIH (American) website comes up trumps again. There is a reduction of over 90% of the phosphorus in water which has been treated by Zeolite Clinoptilolite, and while the zeolite needs to be replaced regularly (as it fills itself up with the phosphorus and never lets it go again, so gets used up itself) it is necessary to use new zeolite on a regular basis, and to discard the used zeolite.
A link to the peer reviewed study can be found here, and while it covers other aspects of phosphorus remediation, the zeolite is probably one of the few that would also pass harmlessly through your body, while other possible remediations are more designed for water courses and preventing contaminated surface run-off from contaminating the water courses in the first place.
It looks like the ZEEBAG™ can be used again to help us claim back our health and assist in our passage to health and accepting our responsibility to ourselves and our family; our elederly and our children. Yes, we can claim back our power, and we clean our water and foods and our lives again.
