BLACK + BLUMCharcoal Water Filter Sticks | Charcoal Filter Hydration Old Japanese Tradition, Lasting 6 Months Each, Wood Black (4 Piece)

My first day of class in my PhD completely threw me off and opened my eyes as I was listening to a cancer lecture. I've always been into my health, wellness and fitness, trying my best to help maintain my body as best as I can. I intermittent fast to limit my caloric intake and give my body time to reset, and consume key vitamins that are antioxidants. All of these methods are anti-cancer and using a Brita filter for my water was another way I could control what I consumed. I always believed that the hormones, microplastics and carcinogens in water was pseudo-science, with half truths and half exaggerations. HOWEVER, this cancer class flipped my world upside down and essentially told me all of it was in fact true and that one of the only ways to purify your water was charcoal. After that class I bought a few sticks of this charcoal to use and give to others. I'm not sure how well it does at purifying water or if it just filters chlorine, but the size of it fits perfectly in my Brita. If anyone has done pH/litmus tests, please respond and let me know how well this works. However, for piece of mind I use this and then boil it every few months to remove the impurities and reuse it. If you are like me, the money I spent on this to purify my water is well worth it if it helps prevent even 1% of a disease occurring in the future.

We all know [or should] that tap water is full of horrible chemicals and other cancer-causing stuff; that we were fed a lie about Fluoride. It comes from scrubbing chemical factory smokestacks then it's sold as a necessary 'health agent' because paying for toxic waste removal is extremely costly.I've been using baking soda in my nightly water glass for decades to get rid of my acid indigestion, and it doesn't matter where I lived: East Coast, West Coast. I even worked for the EBMUD in California, which is where I learned all kinds of nasty things about the Municipal water supply: it all sucks.Which is why these little gems are truly a miracle. I finally put away my jar of bicarb! There's no aftertaste, no bitterness or burn in the back of my throat all night, just the pure chill of clean H20, like drinking from a mountain stream. I'm so happy I found these, because our bodies are 75% water, and water reacts to Hertz levels, which is why there's so much road rage. So make sure you buy some of these, put them in 5 gallon jugs, and write "THANK YOU," "PEACE," and "LOVE" on the sides of the container. Not crazy... do the research~💦

These are great. I like that they have a consistent size as compared to some other brands which are not consistent. The water has a nice clean taste after putting these in it.

This works great. The water tastes much fresher and crisper, pure. Superior to any type of chemical filtering system I have tried. Only 4 stars due to the high price.

Takes odors and chemicals out of water. We live in the city where chlorine is used to treat the water and it always smells and tastes terrible. This eliminates all of that.

This is a great way to filter water because the sticks last long time and no plastic bottles to recycle. These lightweight sticks can be used anywhere at home at work while traveling.

Greatly improved water quality.

I bought this pack of 4 charcoal sticks to replace my old ones from another brand. This was the most cost effective option (4 sticks can last you 2 years) and they work great! I had no issues with them and my tap water, which normally has a mineral taste, seems to taste very pure now that I’ve started using these. Thank you!!
