I don’t recommend Berkey anymore. They’ve had quality-control questions and still don’t hold a recognized performance certification. Independent lab tests are fine, but that’s not the same as third-party certification that also audits manufacturing. When it’s my drinking water, I want both published data and a recognized cert.

However, the arrival of European Jewish immigrants, spurred by the Zionist movement, began to change the demographics. These immigrants sought […]

Like I’ve said before… WE ARE BEING PLAYED! Trump and Harris are both part of the same team and controlled by the same people. Most people can’t see it because they want to believe they have someone on their side in DC. But you don’t! The plan is to put Trump in for a second […]

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, many people are eager to help but might not know where to start. The destruction left behind has created immediate needs in affected areas, and while the desire to provide support is strong, it’s important to be mindful about where and how we offer assistance.
