Happy you figured out your own issue. Many docs and derms are clueless or won't tell you what the problem is. They want you coming back and for their drugs.
For $ 50 u can get a nice filter. Won't clear fluoride, but plenty of other harmfuls. We're currently using pelican for $80ish nowadays. Forget the reaction to skin part for a sec. Once u actually feel the water from a good filter, you'll never go back. Worth the $ 100 a year.
I cleared my own skin issues by changing to a good filter and good clean soap bar. The liquid types usually have parabens ( like shampoos ), anti caking chems, and other stuff that only belongs in a factory or lab.
Also if u take cold shorter showers ( whole list of other health benefits in that ) there's likely less toxin intake as your pores don't open up as much as with a hot shower.
I'll have to look into getting a filter. That's one of those things that I've always told myself I'd do at some point, but never really got around to. $80 isn't that bad. When it comes to the cold showers, I definitely know they're way better for you but I've been pretty terrible at actually getting myself to take them. I've just been trying to take warm-ish showers instead of hot, and cutting the time down as much as I can.
Any recommendations when it comes to drinking water? Currently I drink filtered water from a fridge, but I'm betting that while it filters some stuff out, it probably doesn't get much of the fluoride. I've thought about an RO system multiple times but never pulled the trigger.
Same here. Been eyeballing a $600 RO system from Menards for fluoride removal. Our fridge has filter that we change often and it shows in clarity, taste, and according to my tester, but no help with fluoride obviously.
In meantime we drink bottled spring water. Cook and do coffee/tea with distilled water.
U prolly know, but someone reading may not, if u go RO, you will need to add back in minerals with an extra RO system part ( more expensive ones may do this for you ) OR take supplements or drink electrolytes. RO removes everything, including the good stuff, but still outweighs taking poisons just to get some minerals.
I feel ya on the cold showers. Rough. I know it'll get easier and I do feel better and more productive when I take them, but damn. Takes practice. Still battling that one.
