What are your thoughts on that? Do you think it is just a "fraud", or a waste of more money?? I love Fuji water, it just tastes better, but it is expensive! But worth it every once in a while. I love your site, I have been trying (for a while now) to switch to an all raw diet, sometimes a little difficult but reading your blogs makes me really want to switch and see the difference.

Have you ever heard of the Library of Alexandria in what at least was (maybe still is) Alexandria, Egypt? It had ties to the Essenes of Qumran, I'm sure, and the Ancient Egyptians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641876630179038946.post-25333408277805809322007-10-31T23:56:00.000-05:002007-10-31T23:56:00.000-05:00Hi Anthony!Thank you for your kind words about my ...Hi Anthony!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your kind words about my film!

I was drinking Fiji water last year, but it's pretty expensive (and getting the larger bottles involved a long drive). I didn't realize there was that much of a difference with alkalinity in different waters. Makes me want to test this bottle I've got sitting here...<BR/><BR/>As far as stealing Fiji's water, I guess you could look at it that way. It's their island, and they should be drinking their own water. I'm not sure what the islanders actually drink... but I'll bet it's not the same stuff in the pretty plastic bottle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
