In this one we dig into what really goes on when we try to stay hydrated. We dig into the 5 purposes of water in our body ( mode of transportation, temperature regulation, digestion, lubrication, chemical reactions). After this one you’ll understand better how something that provides no nutrients is so critical to your survival.

 Hang on tight for this one, we start off with a bad dad joke and then jump right into the hottest topic of the season. This is our 50th episode and it is probably the best one in years!
Meet Cyclospora, a parasite that only infect affects people and has been wreaking havoc on all vegetable and fruit lovers this year. We dig into exactly what this creature is and have a very informative interview with Uncle George, who is actually being treated for it right now. His real life experiences will hopefully save someone from weeks of needless suffering.
This creepy parasite didn’t even have an official name until 1994 and only lives inside people so very little is actually known about it since human trials are frowned upon. It starts out it’s life as a little spore that contains four baby parasites that hatch out inside you like aliens and then they attach to your intestines and start reproducing. If it sounds terrible it feels even worse. It even has its own season from May 1 through August 31. So bizarre.

Radon is a relatively newer contaminant with regulations in place for gas level testing and mitigation, but only Maine has anything related to Radon in water. We dig into what it is, where it comes from, and why you want to stay far away from it!
You can protect your home from the gas intrusion thru the soil and basements BUT you may be piping it in along with your water and not even realizing it.
Basically, almost every home should be at least tested for the gas as well as the water. Listen and get more details as well as how to fix it.

In this episode we were curious about the mercury levels in fish and how this happened. What we discovered was bizarre, namely because mercury is a metal and in its elemental form it is heavier than lead yet it quickly evaporates into the air. This puts some perspective on those fluorescent bulbs that few of us actually bag before tossing out. It has had many uses throughout time with thermometers and barometers being some of the more common ones. 
 It actually changes into other forms and not all of those transformations are fully understood. 
 Learn why “traditional “ gold refining (amalgamation) methods contaminate our environment with about 650-1000 tons of mercury every year.
