The AquaTru Reverse Osmosis Water System
The AquaTru Reverse Osmosis Water System delivers pure water to your daily life – it requires no water line, fits on any counter, and can be used anywhere in the world. Simply add water, and the AquaTru purifies. I have this Aquatru system and really love it for a simple reverse osmosis system that can be easily cleaned of any built-up bacteria, so there is nothing growing (microbes) in the water system.

Diets
One diet does not fit all. Each body is quite unique in what it needs to thrive. However, because the Standard Western Diet is composed of toxic, processed foods that are not really nutritious, following some basics will be helpful. For instance, no processed anything! Fresh fruits, veggies, organic, pasture-raised, grass-fed meats, healthy fats, some grains. If these food have been absent for some time, supplementation is likely necessary.
