A first respond to the article "A visit at Gabriela's Healing Oasis" in the Paradise Post this month points out some real concern: bacterias in the catchment water! We do not claim that the AquaVital Foil can remove or eliminate those bacterias from the water! However, it vitalizes, purifies and harmonizes the water to a point that the water becomes crystal clear and tastes sweet, as I stated in my blog post from 2/24/11. I boil the water before consumption!
