  • In a massive country-wide study, the EPA now has an idea of which harmful contaminants called "forever chemicals" or PFAS are found in public water systems.
    "This is just the first wave of reporting across the country and it's only about 15% of sites being tested," said Phil Thompson, a civil and environmental engineering professor at Seattle University.
    He said these contaminants are organic chemicals from fire retardants or non-stick coatings on pots and pans.

    EPA has no APPROVED methods for treating for PFAS.

      Reclaiming our Polluted Waters, Lands, Plants, Animals, Cure Humans, etc. “Microwaves from the trace elements in the Azomite catalyze the heavy metals into harmless compounds, which the plant or tree can then use or automatically return to the soil”.
      Years ago my granduncle told the Azomite corporation on why not use the same azomite minerals to be crushed into sand and used as part of an azomite sand bath for the American troops exposed to Iraqi chemical-biological-radiological weapons which the Pentagon has ignored in order to avoid paying compensation to those hundreds of thousands of troops who are now having children birth defects in the 1990s and 2000s! But the Azomite corporation DID NOT REPLY TO MY UNCLE! I am sure that the Pentagon intercepted his e-mail, many years ago, and told the Azomite corporation not to comply. Because if they comply and start building azomite sand baths for hundreds of thousands of Iraqi veterans to cure them, then people will be ASKING QUESTIONS, and when they start receiving the TRUE ANSWERS, then the Pentagon will be in HOT WATER OF WAVES PROTESTS AFTER WAVES OF PROTESTS from the families of American troop veterans of the Iraqi wars.
      To demonstrate to effectiveness of the microwaves radiated by trace elements, Dr. Hansen took a bag of Azomite and spread it on the ground around an orange tree with mature fruit ready to be plucked. “The tree”, he explained, “was full of heavy metals: zinc, lead, mercury, and insecticides. Within four minutes after the Azomite was spread, there was not an orange or leaf on that tree that wasn’t free of the harmful effects of the heavy metals, DDT, and other chemicals”. So amazed was he by these results he repeated the experiment several times. His explanation is as simple as it is amazing: “Microwaves from the trace elements in the Azomite catalyze the heavy metals into harmless compounds, which the plant or tree can then use or automatically return to the soil”.
      One of the keenest supporters of Rollin’s Azomite is a Veterinary Doctor, C.S. Hansen, who attributes the extraordinary powers of trace elements to the microwaves they radiate. He maintains that insects have an innate intelligence that respects a vigorous growing plant, capable of producing seed for reproduction, and will somehow have the sense to avoid it. He said that when the natural trace-element material, such as Azomite, with the proper microwaves present, is supplied to a growing plant he has failed to find any insects present. Insects avoid such treated plants. But when a plant is not of vigorous growth, and capable of carrying on as a perfect species, nature gives insects the job of cleaning it up. “Anything that becomes inferior in quality,” says Dr. Hansen, “Becomes food for insects, so that only the healthy plants capable of developing seed for reproduction are left to mature. Imperfection in life has a way of being destroyed if left to the devices of nature. Food products from a deficient soil should never be used for human or animal consumption, and they should never be used for reproduction again as feed”. To demonstrate to effectiveness of the microwaves radiated by trace elements, Dr. Hansen took a bag of Azomite and spread it on the ground around an orange tree with mature fruit ready to be plucked. “The tree”, he explained, “was full of heavy metals: zinc, lead, mercury, and insecticides. Within four minutes after the Azomite was spread, there was not an orange or leaf on that tree that wasn’t free of the harmful effects of the heavy metals, DDT, and other chemicals”. So amazed was he by these results he repeated the experiment several times. His explanation is as simple as it is amazing: “Microwaves from the trace elements in the Azomite catalyze the heavy metals into harmless compounds, which the plant or tree can then use or automatically return to the soil”. Hansen says the effects of different forms of radiant energy on colloids and protoplasm are being extensively studied, and that it is known that different wavelengths and frequencies may produce structural effects on colloids and organisms: ultraviolet rays can slow down or stop the streaming of protoplasm, causing increased viscosity or coagulation. Rollin sat back and sighed, partly pleased about getting his points across, and partly in despair about the world. “We have ganged up on nature by taking the attitude that insects are invading our fields and destroying our crops. So we kill the bugs, thinking it correct. Instead we are killing ourselves. But the bugs are only destroying our crops because we are not feeding the crops their proper food. We are not giving the plants the natural trace elements which give them the access to the benefit of the microwaves of creation”. What he meant by the microwaves of creation was not to become clear to us until we met later with a brilliant ornithologist turned entomologist. But first we had to deal with an eminent biologist.......

    People can at least buy water filters from Berkey, Alexa Pure, or PureOne so that they don't have to wait or feel powerless.

      Most filters do not meaningfully reduce PFAS. You would need a multi-stage water filtration system, which would cost a few thousand dollars to add to your home. Your carbon filter in your fridge or brita isn't doing a whole lot and probably is overdue for changing anyway.

      You need a WHOLE HOUSE FILTERS using zeolite ceramic filters that only allows water molecules to past through. They are used on board Russian submarines. In fact they can be directly used to filter RAW SEWAGE into fresh drinkable water but we also use super critical water wet oxidation processes also known as hyperbaric oxidation which has also been used in making hyperbaric incineration. These technologies has been around since the late 1960s up to the early 1970s BUT WERE SUPPRESSED. Why? Because people will be asking questions on why they are needed and once they are HONESTLY GIVEN THE ANSWERS then you can only imagine the sheer public protests and outcry and demonstrations and riots and multi-billion dollars paid in compensation and the multi-billion dollars needed for restoration and multi-billion dollars needed to retrofit all public water utilities and independent small utilities and water supplying utilities in small communities and in rural areas such as schools, churches, villages, farms, small truck gardeners, etc.

    Surrey, BC's old water well is the only water that doesn't test for sezeium. It takes 47 years for the water to get to Canada from Mt. Baker in the USA. Engineers collecting water there, long retired, filled me in. The water flows like corn syrup. you have to get to it by the truck pull off on the 99, and walk over the railroad tracks into the bush to the old concrete walls.
