WATER FILTER SYSTEMS

The GAPS protocol requires filtered water to reduce the toxic load. This can be consumed from bottled mineral water or from your home if you have installed a water filter system.  Filter systems that have the ability to remove fluoride and numerous toxins and chemicals are what you wish to strive for. 

There are many systems in the market.  These include whole home water filter systems,  an installed water filter connected under your sink in the kitchen,  benchtop water filters, water jug filtration systems and shower filter attachments.  Having a system available to filter the bath and/or shower water is ideal for GAPS people, especially if they have sensitive skin issues because we absorb all these toxins through our skin as well.  Eczema can also be so severe that clothing washed in these everyday tap water chemicals can cause a problem. 

Choose a water filter that you can afford – GAPS is about reducing the toxic load where ever you can, it does not mean that you have to have the best water filter on the market.
