Sense, This is non-sense. Stop talking science and continue on monarchy/democracy/communism. There you are entertaining and what you say is anyway non-verifiable. <Like the changes made during the Clinton Administration that altered quality standards for water systems...> I don't know why otherwise intelligent and sensible people like you get sucked into the political propaganda (in this case with underlying religious undertones). Why you want to believe about Clinton and what you want to believe about Trump in spite of all contrary evidence is mystifying. There may a valid point about mineral deficiencies or additions (fluoride, phosphates, chlorine) in drinking water. Water treatment has great ROI in public health for such low price. It is not perfect. Chlorination produces by-products that have proven negative effects. But you are obsessed with mineral deficiencies. And then you throw around buzz words - flocculation, clarifiers, precipitating, etc. Your lack of scientific depth in water processes is showing. Do you have a science background at all or are you a writer? You certainly do write well. >Magnesium... which is the "gold standard" they seek have new drugs live up to ?> You seem like a closet alchemist. We have the thank the alchemists for their obsession with panacea and perfect metals actually resulted in development of chemistry and sciences. Despite their obsessions, they went about their tasks in rigorous and quantifiable way, which has become the hallmark of the scientific method. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemy Alchemists attempted to purify, mature, and perfect certain materials. [2] [4] [5] [n 1] Common aims were chrysopoeia, the transmutation of " base metals" (e.g., lead) into " noble metals" (particularly gold); [2] the creation of an elixir of immortality; [2] the creation of panaceas able to cure any disease; and the development of an alkahest, a universal solvent. [6] -Arun >But, when working to validate the drug function, they compare the drug's function to other "blockers" to validate and quantify its effects. And, what do they compare it with ? Magnesium... which is the "gold standard" they seek have new drugs live up to ? So... why not just prescribe magnesium ? It's literally dirt cheap... and it works BETTER ? Dietary deficiencies are an under-studied risk factor ? And, the cause of recent increases... is most likely to be tied to recent changes... like the changes made during the Clinton Administration that altered quality standards for water systems... So, now we strip the minerals out of the water in our water systems ? No. Not quite. The two choices you have in solving "water quality problems" are "flocculation"... precipitating the minerals... or else... you add other things as "clarifiers" that instead make the minerals better dissolved... so they don't precipitate ? All that junk that used to deposit on the pipes and clog them over time ? That's not a problem any more. But, that means that instead of depositing on the pipes... it's depositing whatever is in that crust... in your head ?>
