Viktor Schauberger (30 June1885 25 September1958) was an Austrian
forester/forest warden, naturalist, philosopher, inventor and Biomimicry
experimenter.
The inventor of what he called “implosion technology”, Schauberger
developed his own theories based on fluidic vortices and movement in
nature. He built actuators for airplanes, ships, silent turbines,
self-cleaning pipes and equipment for cleaning and so-called
“refinement” of water to create spring water, which he used as a remedy.
Schauberger’s theories appear not to have received acceptance in the
mainstream western scientific community, as replication proves either
too difficult or results vary from previously published data. However,
Schauberger’s work remains an inspiration to many people in the Green
Movement for his own observations of nature.
Having enough safe drinking water is of utmost importance to any survivor. Proper information is very important and for that reason ... let's set the record straight.
Boiling Water is the Best Method
As some of us know, boiling water is surest and most effective method of destroying microorganisms including disease causing bacteria, viruses, protozoan’s, and parasites.
Modern filtering devices and the chemical treatment of water come in a poor distant second to the ancient and almost foolproof method of boiling water to make it safe to drink. And importantly to the survivor, the boiling of water requires no special apparatus, training, or difficult to find chemicals. The means to boil water for safe drinking are usually close at hand:
A source of heat
A vessel to hold the water.
Couldn’t be simpler. Or is it ?
Commonly Stated Water Boiling Times
Appparently there are different amounts of time that water needs to be boiled to kill disease organisms. If you look at the publications put out by the government and trusted health organizations ... what is glaringly obvious is they disagree on the length of time water should be boiled to make it safe to drink.
Common water boiling times that are stated include: “Boil water for 10 minutes” is a common statement “5-minutes of boiling” is also frequently heard “Boil the water for 20 minutes”. Would there be any left? “A rolling boil for 1 minute”. Is it enough ? “When at high altitudes you need to boil water for twice as long”
Modern filtering devices and the chemical treatment of water come in a poor distant second to the ancient and almost foolproof method of boiling water to make it safe to drink.
Which of the above statements are true? None. That’s right. Following any of the above advice for the boiling times of water is a big waste of fuel (and a waste of water if you are short on water cannot afford to lose any to evaporation).
Throughout the world whole forests have been cut down for firewood in order to boil drinking water. Hikers and mountaineers have used up precious fuel boiling water for inordinate amounts of time. In a survival situation you cannot afford to waste valuable resources and energy. With all the bad advice around, many thousands of trees and other fuels and a huge amount of effort have been wasted.
Whole forests have been cut down for firewood in order to boil drinking water
The correct amount of time to boil water is 0 minutes.
That's right, zero minutes.
“According to the Wilderness Medical Society, water temperatures above 160° F (70° C) kill all pathogens within 30 minutes and above 185° F (85° C) within a few minutes. So in the time it takes for the water to reach the boiling point (212° F or 100° C) from 160° F (70° C), all pathogens will be killed, even at high altitude.”
“What is not well known is that contaminated water can be pasteurized at temperatures well below boiling, as can milk, which is commonly pasteurized at 71°C (160°F)…”.
What is not well known is that contaminated water can be pasteurized at temperatures well below boiling
The fact is, with a water temperature of 160 to 165 degrees F (74 C) it takes just half an hour for all disease causing organisms to be inactivated. At 185 degrees this is cut to just a few minutes. By the time water hits its boiling point of 212 F (100 C) – plus or minus depending upon pressure or altitude – the water is safe. Even at high altitudes the time it takes for the water to reach a rolling boil and then cool means you can safely drink it.
Lacking a thermometer to measure water temperature, you only need to get your water to a rolling boil. By that point you know the water is hot enough and that the disease organisms in your water were destroyed quite some time earlier. End of story, turn off the heat. Stop wasting fuel. Let the water cool down.
If you read the "Consumer Confidence Report" that comes from your water company.... it may have the following information on it:
"Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immune-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infection. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers."
I'd say that we have a problem. We start out with water that "immune-compromised" persons and babies should not drink and the water becomes acidic as it flows through the city's pipes. Acidic water flowing through pipes picks up lead and other contaminants directly from the pipes it runs through. So the water that we started with might have been adequately safe for the general public, but now what about the water that actually comes out of the faucet?
The following cheap, home treatment that improves the taste. I cannot prove that it does anything else. I think it may be healthier based on the following:
"Dr. Earp-Thomas added a handful of wheatgrass to fluoridated water for several minutes. When the grass was removed and the water tested, no fluorine was traceable. Later, an official of the Water Department of New York City tested fluoridated water in which a small sprig of wheatgrass had been swished. He could find no trace of fluorine. Evidently, the presence of wheat grass in fluoridated water renders the inorganic chemicals harmless. Dr. Earp-Thomas found that an ounce of grass in a gallon of fluoridated water would turn the fluorine into harmless calcium-phosphate-fluoride compounds. Alfalfa seeds will not grow in treated water [means city-treated water not wheatgrass-treated water- bfg] but will merely rot in treated tap water. One-half ounce of wheatgrass, added each morning to ordinary tap water, softens it and makes it positive....
"Dr. Earp-Thomas further discovered that fruits and vegetables contaminated by sprays were thoroughly cleansed and the negative food transformed by wash water with a wisp of wheatgrass placed in the water. In pasteurized milk, baby foods, pet foods, etc. wheatgrass changes the toxic orbit of electrons to positive. Wheatgrass placed in the drinking water of pets and cut up over their food helps prevent ailments in your pets."
From pages 43-45 Be Your Own Doctor by Ann Wigmore, D.D., N.D.
Keep a quart jar of sprouts on your kitchen sink. Either alfalfa sprouts or wheat sprouts. Whenever you need water, take the quart jar with sprouts, fill it with water, swish it around slightly and pour the water into a glass or other container. The water tastes much better! In order to always have sprouts, keep two jars going. Also add baking soda to make the water more alkaline and use a "stirwand" to break up the water molecules.
THE WAY WE THINK AND SPEAK TO EACH OTHER HAS AN EFFECT ON REALITY
WATER IS THE DRIVING FORCE OF ALL NATURE
THAT'S WHY ....SOME PEOPLE CAN FEEL YOUR INTENT
AS OUR BODIES ARE FULL OF WATER ......
…..also that human speech and our thoughts when they are directed at water droplets (just before they are frozen) will result in an image of water crystals that form uniformly and beautifully when positive emotions are present.
Likewise the more unattractive water crystals are formed from negative thoughts or words that are directed to water.
Polluted water appears the same as the negative-thought water crystals from lab test.
….. water responds to prayer, music, words spoken aloud or by attaching written words to a container of water, and getting a reaction.
Deciding to drink filtered tap water instead of bottled water can have huge benefits for the earth.
We can eliminate unnecessary waste going into our landfills and oceans, cut back on the energy it takes to produce and transport the bottles, reduce our exposure to harmful chemicals like BPA, and stop supporting an industry moving to turn water from a common resource into an expensive commodity.
