The term refers to unfiltered, untreated, unsterilized water collected from natural springs. In the ten days following Juicero’s collapse, Evans underwent a cleanse, drinking only raw water from a company called Live Water, according to The New York Times. “I haven’t tasted tap water in a long time,” he told the Times. And Evans isn’t alone; he’s a prominent member of a growing movement to “get off the water grid,” the paper reports.
Mukhande Singh (nĂ© Christopher Sanborn), founder of Live Water, told the Times that tap water was “dead” water. “Tap water? You’re drinking toilet water with birth control drugs in them,” he said. “Chloramine, and on top of that they’re putting in fluoride. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but it’s a mind-control drug that has no benefit to our dental health.” (Note: There is plenty of data showing that fluoride improves dental health, but none showing water-based mind control.)
Let's take this to its logical extreme, and market something which is a) as woo-sounding as possible; b) as expensive as possible and c) most importantly of all, as dangerous as possible.
The problem should sort itself out within one or at most two generations.
Perhaps some sort of diamond-studded Ouija board that communicates "messages from the dead" by exploding ? An enchanted Ebola enema ? A home sulphur dioxide "wellness tent" ?
