A Disturbing Story About What One Customer Found In Her Drinking Water

A Disturbing Story About What One Customer Found In Her Drinking Water

By Dan DeBaun

Recently a bigberkeywaterfilters.com customer contacted us to share a disturbing story of what she found in her drinking water. Please read below to see the side by side similarities of what was in her water and what sufferers of Morgellons disease are reporting to be finding in their body.

This is about what I found in my tap water, in a suburb of Dallas, Texas. After much research, I knew a Berkey water filter was the system for me and I phoned to order it. That's when I met Dan. He listened attentively and answered every question. I offered to send some photos, and when he saw them, he invited me to share my story here.

I am so thankful that my Berkey filters out what you're about to see. My household filtration system filters out particulates >25 microns in size. The Berkey catches things that are smaller than that. After having the Berkey for three weeks, it was totally clogged! (Normal maintenance is to clean it every six months.) The elements were scrubbed and it works just fine again. I love my Berkey!! Thank you, Dan!!

It all began when I was making hummingbird solution - boil the water, let it cool, add sugar. In the past, I'd seen "floating matter" on the water, but thought it must be from the sugar. But this time, I got busy and the water cooled longer than usual, and I hadn't added the sugar yet. I was horrified at what I saw.

Please note that without the clear glass pot, sitting directly under 4 bright halogen lights, this stuff is not nearly as visible. And in stainless pots, it is extremely hard to see because of the metal's reflection. I thoroughly cleaned the pot and tried again, with a lid on the whole time. The same thing happened. Hot, cold, from the outdoor faucet - it didn't matter. Some of these particles dissolve with vinegar or muriatic acid - they're minerals. But, as you'll see, it's not all minerals.

I even tried my neighbor's water, and her's was worse than mine. Ironically, the first year of her son's life was spent constantly seeing doctors, for chronic skin problems. No one could determine what it was, the cause, or how to successfully treat it. Finally, she was told to only bathe him every 2 or 3 days. He is older now and still seeing doctors - now, for chronic infections. I don't know if it's connected to our water supply, but it's worth mentioning.

I can duplicate these outcomes over and over, and have hundreds of photos. I tested bottled water and it did not contain these particulates. But, there are many good reasons not to use bottled water. Berkey was the very best answer to my dilemma, and it also tests clean under my microscope.

Calling the city water department, and eventually the wastewater treatment plant was a lengthy, grueling exercise in futility. It wasn't fun, and I'll spare you the details. None of it really mattered though, because the control and responsibility is the EPA's. The people I was dealing with couldn't do anything even if they wanted to.

Annual water reports assure us our water is clean, but they don't even test for particulates. When I asked about virus and pathogen testing, I was told to contact the health department. So, our water guys pretty much concentrate on bacteria.

They knew little-to-nothing about the micron-sized and/or nanotechnology that is now in our air, water soil, food and bodies. Here's a recent article on a California class-action suit related to damaged water, soil and health. The article also addresses the illness called Morgellons.

This is a recent CDC conference: Preventing Adverse Health Effects from Nanotechnology (Q&A begins at approx 49 minutes) They say it will be 10 years before they can even agree on the metrics to address these issues, and only then will any type of regulation begin to be addressed.

By the looks of the water, we can't afford 10 years. I would send them my photos and story, but many others have tried. Just like my local water people, the EPA and CDC apparently aren't interested. Here is an excerpt from Wiki on the subject of airborne particles:

Fig. 2 - From Wiki: EPA - Very Fine Airborne Particulates fig_021

Below are microscope photos of my water, which was already filtered by the household filtration system. Also below are photos (with captions underneath from a long-time Moregellons researcher, Jan Smith) that appear similar to mine. Our photos appear similar, however they are actually what Morgellons sufferers have removed, or expelled, from their bodies. Texas has more Morgellons cases reported than any other state, except California, and Florida is third. It is now being found in other countries, as well. Music celebrity, Joni Mitchell, is speaking out about her Morgellons illness also.

It's worth noting that (by popular demand) the CDC did a very small Morgellons study with Kaiser Permanente several years ago, to be completed in a year. At the end of the first year, the deadline for releasing the results was extended. Again and again, it was extended for several years. Around the third year, they announced that the study had been transferred to the Army pathology people. No study results have been publicly released, to-date.

These photos are presented solely for educational purposes, are not intended to frighten anyone, and perhaps will inspire others to do their own research. What's in our water? And in us?

    Oil of oregano , wormwood , natural cloves and papaya seeds whole. But you have to cleanse yourself of heavy metals first. Zeolite. Natural herbs is the way. Also tea tree oil is good to mix with body wash and shampoo. Get a high end filtration system like this Berkey.

    I've been dealing with what is known as morgellons for over three years I know of. I've seen multiple Drs including dermatologist who absolutely close there minds when brought up. I've been chronicling also and have taken hundreds of photos both after the fibers or whatever they are come out as well as still growing from my skin. Not one Dr so far has even given it a thought other than I must be delusional . Even my family literally feels the same way, I still occasionally take photos of new skin cast and fiber balls , I'm thankful that it's not as bad as a lot of people I've seen posting pics. Who knows what is exactly going on? Or what is being kept from the public? I also have the bacteria associated with Lyme Disease as I believe 85% of morgellons patient's have. Three dermatologist and none have even looked at my skin other than from three feet away and say they don't need to see my pictures, screw them, maybe someday we will be told what is the cause and hopefully a cure but I remain sceptical.

    Hi Randy -

    It breaks our heart to hear you are suffering without any defined path to follow for wellness. We wish you the best in health.

    Thanks
