A Summary of the Facts:
The Problem,
The Need,
The Solution.
Water is Life
Improve the quality of your life
simply through the
quality of your drinking water.
Hello Friends:
I have traveled around the world and I know the
importance of having access to safe, good-tasting drinking
water. I became aware of the health-threatening
contaminates that can reside in the water we drink here
in the United State of America and got very interested in
the problem.
The health and well being of my family and friends is of
major importance to me, so I began to look for ways to
fulfill the need and went to work on a solution to create
products that ensure the safety and quality of the water
we drink, anytime, anywhere.
That was over 40 years ago and am still at it because the
problem still exists.
Be aware and be prepared.
Yours in Christ,
Carl Palmer
Innovator and Founder
Seychelle Water Filtration
This concise overview was written for those who have ever questioned the quality
of their drinking water—and for those who should. It is dedicated to everyone
who is concerned about the health-threatening contaminates that may be present
in our government regulated municipal drinking water and are seeking a viable
solution to a serious problem
The quality of your drinking water
directly affects your health
Quote from Robert Jones, NASA astronaut and 3 time
cancer survivor:
“I have reviewed the laboratory test results of Carl Palmers’
filters and found that 99.9% of contaminants were removed to
provide healthy water for human consumption. Mr. Palmers’
innovation will benefit humankind, where contaminants are
present in the water and at the same time his pH water
filtration system will help reduce the illness such as cancer as
well as other conditions. I am living proof.”

Because of what we leave in (trace minerals)
Your Body of Water
What do you really know about the quality of your water and the
direct effects on your health? Water is essential for life. Water is
the most important nutrient we consume, every day of our lives.
Your body is approximately 70% water
You should drink 8 or more glasses of quality water per day.
Water helps maintain proper muscle tone; prevents
dehydration, improves skin tone, texture and resilience; rids
the body of waste; relieves constipation; increases energy
levels; suppresses appetite naturally; metabolizes stored fat;
maintains body weight; and supports good health!
• 1% deficiency in the body’s water makes us thirsty.
• 5% deficit causes a slight fever.
• 8% shortage causes the glands to stop producing saliva
and the skin to turn blue.
• 10% deprives a person of the ability to walk;
• 12% deficiency is fatal.
“By the gift of water you nourish and sustain us and
all living things.”

HOW WATER BECOMES POLLUTED
Fact: There is NO New Water
Water is constantly circulating from the earth to the atmosphere and back again. This is
accomplished by the heat of the sun and pull of the earth’s gravity. Water evaporates from
lakes, streams, rivers and oceans as vapor. Vapor condenses and returns back to earth as
rain, snow, mist and fog. This phenomenon is known as the hydrological cycle. Without it,
life would not exist
The second that water comes back to earth, as the world’s greatest solvent it starts
accumulating particles of almost everything it touches. The more knowledge that we gain
on pollution and contamination, and their specific effects on our health, the better
decisions we can make regarding processes, products, and solutions!
Combine man, population growth, human waste, dumpsites-add agriculture with
pesticides, fertilizers and animal waste PLUS industry which creates hydrocarbons, toxic
chemicals and rain and you have POLLUTION!
The EPA has issued drinking water standards or Maximum
Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for more than 90 contaminants.
Cities, states, and governments do all they can to safeguard our
drinking water… and the problem still persists.
http://water.epa.gov/drink/
Is your drinking water safe from
contaminants and pollutants?
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):
“Microbiological and chemical contaminants can enter water supplies. These
materials can be the result of human activity or can be found in nature. For
instance, chemicals can migrate from disposal sites and contaminate sources of
drinking water. Animal wastes and pesticides may be carried to lakes and streams
by rainfall runoff or snow melt. Human wastes may be discharged to receiving
waters that ultimately flow to water bodies used for drinking water. Coliform
bacteria from human and animal wastes may be found in drinking water if the
water is not properly treated or disinfected. These bacteria are used as indicators
that other harmful organisms may be in the water…we can no longer take our
drinking water for granted.”
As reported by the EPA:
•Drinking water, including bottled
water, may reasonably be expected
to contain at least small amounts
of some contaminants.
•The presence of contaminants
does not necessarily indicate that
water poses a health risk.
•EPA sets standards for
approximately 90 contaminants
and indicators in drinking water.
•The presence of indicators at a
level outside of specified limits may
reflect a problem in the treatment
process or in the integrity of the
distribution system.

Why filter your drinking water?
The Zones of Drinking Water Contamination
The A, B, C, D, R and pH of drinking water:
Aesthetic – offensive tastes, odors, chlorine, silt, sand, and
sediment.
Biological – harmful microscopic pathogens such as
Cryptosporidium, Giardia , and other cysts and spores.
Chemical - industrial VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds),
PBC’s, THM’s (Trihalomethanes), detergents; Agricultural
SOC’s (Synthetic Organic Compounds), pesticides, DDT, etc.
Dissolved Solids – harmful heavy metals such as Aluminum,
Arsenic, Asbestos, Cadmium, Chromium 6, Fluorides, Copper,
Lead, Mercury, etc.
Radiological – Gross Beta, Radon 222, Radium 226, Plutonium,
Uranium, Cesium 134 & 137, Radioactive Iodine 131.
pH - Acidic (0-7) Neutral (7) Alkaline (7-14)
What is healthy?
Our body systems are in a continual state of
fine adjustment.
Each system has an ideal range for optimal
health and vitality.
Some of the systems we are commonly
familiar with are:
Blood pressure 120/80
• Hypertension
• Hypotension
Weight – varies
• Obesity
• Anorexia
Blood Sugar – varies
• Diabetes
• Hypoglycemia
Temperature 98.6
• Fever
• Hypothermia
Most of us never consider the acid/alkaline balance of
our blood, but a proper pH is a crucial aspect to health.
Many doctors stress the importance of pH because a
balanced pH protects us from the inside out. Disease
and disorder, they say, cannot take root in a body whose
pH is in balance.
http://draxe.com/balancing-act-why-ph-is-crucial-to-health/
Why pH is Crucial to Health?
It is an imbalance of acidity and alkalinity that allows unhealthy
organisms to flourish, damages tissues and organs and
compromises the immune system.
So what is proper pH?
What we call pH is short for the potential of hydrogen. It is a
measure of the acidity or alkalinity of our body’s fluids and
tissues. It is measured on a scale from 0 to 14. The more acidic a
solution is, the lower its pH. The more alkaline, the higher the
number is.
A pH of 7 is perfectly neutral. The healthiest pH is one that is
slightly alkaline. Optimally, we want a pH of 7.365. This number
will fluctuate throughout the day, but the normal range is
between 6 and 7.5.
What affects pH?
Normally, the kidneys maintain our electrolyte levels, those of
calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. When we are
exposed to acidic substances, these electrolytes are used to
combat acidity. High degrees of acidity force our bodies to rob
minerals from the bones, cells, organs and tissues. Cells end up
lacking enough minerals to properly dispose of waste or
oxygenate completely. Vitamin absorption is compromised by
mineral loss. Toxins and pathogens accumulate in the body and
the immune system becomes suppressed.
What causes acidity in your body?
•
Alcohol and drug use
•
Antibiotic overuse
•
Artificial sweeteners
•
Chronic stress
•
Declining nutrient levels in foods due to industrial farming
•
Low levels of fiber in the diet
•

So what …
We would do well to have concern for, or at least to take interest
in, our typical daily ingestion of liquids like cola, tea and coffee,
which contribute to the health risks associated with an acidic
lifestyle.
Below we offer a simple diagram to demonstrate the impact these
three common beverages, tea, coffee or a cola drink, have on the
body’s pH. In general terms we’ll say the body is slightly alkaline at
7.35pH.

3 cola drink -10,000 times more alkaline
Notice tea, coffee and cola drinks have a “negative”
alkalinity ranging from 100 to 10,000 times the acidity
of neutral water.
Compare that to the “positive” alkalinity of the
pH2OPURE water at 8.5pH** is 500,000 times more
alkaline than cola!!!
As noted on the chart on the previous page, It takes 20 parts
of alkalinity to neutralize 1 part acidity in the body!

The Battle For Health Is Over pH: Life and Death Hangs in the
Balance By Gary Tunsky
“I have found that drinking alkaline water is the quickest and most
effective way to change the body’s pH and reverse Acidosis,
dehydration, and free radical damage. Alkaline water will hydrate,
detoxify, and oxygenate your body’s cells and act as a liquid antioxidant
to neutralize harmful free radicals.”p71
The Acid Alkaline Balance Diet By Felicia Drury Kliment
“That the injury of the arterial was by acid particles is the major cause
of high blood pressure is strongly indicated by the clinical studies of Dr.
Kancho Kuninaha, who successfully lowered the blood pressure of
many of his patients with alkaline water. “ p5
The Acid-Alkaline Food Guide
By Dr. Susan E. Brown and Larry Trivieri, Jr.
“….the importance of maintaining proper acid-alkaline balance is not
a new concept. In fact, it has been written about in medical
textbooks for more than a century. Only in the last few years has the
concept of chronic, low-grade acidosis started to make its way into
the public at large…”
“….each minute of every day the body’s metabolic processes produce enormous quantities
of acid even though, in order to do their jobs properly, the cells and tissues require a slightly
alkaline environment. Therefore, in order to maintain its health, the body must neutralize
or excrete the vast majority of acids that it produces on a minute-to-minute basis. Healthy
bodies maintain a narrow range of pH blood and tissue balance is one of the most essential
elements of optimal health, while imbalances between acid and alkaline compounds are
certain signs that the body is in danger of becoming unhealthy and increasingly susceptible
to disease.”
Clean Remove, Restore, Rejuvenate By Alejandro Junger, M.D. with Amely Greeven
“Seventy percent of the Earth’s surface is water; our bodies are also seventy
percent water. It is one of the essentials of life. Without enough water, the cells
cannot function properly. Water is essential for detoxification, because our
bodies eliminate most waste products with the help of water—in urine, in
feces, which need enough hydration to move, and also in sweat. Most people
today are dehydrated not only from not drinking enough water, but also
because many foods and drinks, especially caffeinated ones, soda and alcohol,
have a dehydrating effect.
The Ultimate pH Solution: Balance Your Body Chemistry to Prevent Disease and Lose
Weight By Michelle Schoffro Cook, DNM, DAc
“It can be difficult to find alkaline water from traditional sources, let alone water
that will have a significant alkalinizing effect on our body. And yet alkaline water
gives us tremendous health benefits. … The quest for pure, alkaline water has led
to considerable growth in the water filtration industry – and considerable growth
in unscrupulous products, gimmicks, and schemes as well. No filter will remove
every contaminate. Specific filtration technologies tend to focus on a certain type
of water problem. Some are better at removing inorganic pollutants, such as heavy
metals and chemicals, while other are more effective on organics intruders, such
as viruses and bacteria. …It is important to do your homework to find the best
option for your water needs.”
“Kick acid out of our body for lasting vitality!”
The Acid-Alkaline Diet For Optimum Health. Restore Your Health by Creating pH
Balance in Your Diet By Christopher Vasey, N. D
“Enzymes are the little ‘workers’ responsible for a large
number of biochemical transformation that are necessary to
physical function. Digestion, assimilation, growth, tissue
repair, elimination, energy production, and more all
dependent on the activity of enzymes.
When the body is dehydrated, it becomes acidified with
substances it has created itself.”p124
Water Fit to Drink By Carol Keough
“As Americans, we have always been a little smug about our
water. The first question we ask a travel agent before setting
foot on foreign shore is “Is the water safe to drink?” “But we
have little reason to be smug. Our water is fast becoming a
national scandal [Published in 1980]. Congress is grappling
with the problem of how to protect, or at least compensate,
people victimized by industrial poisons – buried decades ago-that have leached into local water supplies.”
Now, how do we provide an effective,
efficient, convenient, inexpensive way to
safeguard the water for you and your family?
