How would you improve this system?

I would dispense with the primary flush, this is the green plastic pipe on the bottom of the down spout. A much larger storage tank is required, which would make my home independent from the water mains. I would include a septic tank for taking the sewage and grey water, which would make my property off the grid for water. Good question, hope this helps.

I am surprised that this system was not widely received as it offers off the grid watering for all of the organic food advocated here.

By the way, most domestic supplies now run through plastic pipes.

Hi Van, the plastic tank is uv resistant, holds nearly 3 cubic metres / tonnes of water and the majority of which is not used for drinking, so the dilution ratio for the tiny amount of water we drink is huge. Your point is a good one, but for me purchasing a stainless steel tank is out of the question. One needs to weigh up the risks from the additives in the mains supply together with farm run off and other contaminants that are present even in commercially treated water. I think nitrates and phosphates are far more risky tbh. Nevertheless your point has been taken on board.

Want to avoid drinking fluoride, chlorine, salt and other impurities? Fancy the best cup of tea and coffee ever? Fed up with your kettle and iron scaling?
We all have the capacity to use rainwater instead of buying expensive bottled water.

With climate change already upon us we will see more intense and destructive weather patterns. Drought and famine are becoming more common. Flash floods devastate communities, so why not store the water and help to stop flooding and drought?

Kombucha, brew it yourself, it really does work! Have tested it deliberately, one application and 48 hours later no smelly pits :)

If we think about blood rushing to either the feet or head for a minute and realise that our circulation is circular, blood can't rush in either direction without it affecting circulation. I guess what people refer to is a change in orthostatic pressure, which relates to measuring pressure when in standing position. If we shift from head up to head down, we change the pressure. What I am trying to say is that the only way blood could rush to the feet or head is if there was an opening for it to flow out.

However, the physiology literature states erroneously that gravity cannot influence or affect the circulation directly because it acts equally on the blood in the veins as it does on the blood in the arteries. The error occurs through ignorance of density changes in the blood that flows through the lungs and skin tissue, because each time we exhale we change the density of the capillary blood that supplies the lungs. Exhaling excretes solute free water from a liquid that contains minerals, salts and sugars. It is impossible for us to evaporate water from the blood without altering the density of said blood!

This means that the blood leaving the lungs is denser than the blood entering the lungs providing the air we breathe is dryer than the air we exhale.

Inclined Bed Therapy affects these density changes and by maintaining a slight beneficial angle to assist the movement of solutes towards the kidneys, where filtration eliminates them via the bladder, affording the less dense blood additional motility in the venous return. But as I have said before, the lymph and CSF fluids are also influenced by gravity and I believe that it is density changes and posture that drive both.   Andrew K Fletcher

Stenosis CCSVI Experimental model shows blood density / postural origin . Part 2

The video deals with how solutes alter pressures in aqueous solution. It may help you understand how IBT works to reduce the pressure inside our veins.

This last post is sounding a bit spammy, Andrew.

I agree it does sound a bit spammy but as there is no financial gain from letting people know that there are others out there experimenting with IBT, I thought it would be of interest to people reading this forum. I can remove the post if required?     Andrew

If you have a pillow under your head, it is still a bit higher even if your bed is slightly inclined with the head side 4 - 5 cm lower. If you like to get varicose veins, incline your bed in the other way around, with the feet side lower as promoted by Andrew… !

You are so far off the mark with this comment. Try searching images using inclined bed therapy and varicose veins as a search term. It takes around 4 weeks of IBT for varicose veins to improve, oedema is also corrected using IBT because the pressure that was forcing the veins out has been reduced to the point where fluid migrates from the skin back into the venous return. Of course you are free to ignore the photographic evidence and draw your own guesswork as a conclusion but please don't state that IBT causes varicose veins when clearly the opposite is the truth.   http://s209.photobucket.com/user/Andrew_K_Fletcher/library/Varicose%20veins?sort=3&page=1

It's been a while since Inclined Bed Therapy was introduced to this forum and thought it is a good time to ask for progress updates from those of us using IBT.

A new page on Facebook has stimulated some very interesting results and I hear from new people testing IBT almost every day with the same predictable positive results.

For those of you who have not yet heard about what IBT is and has already achieved for people with multiple sclerosis.

Inclined Bed Therapy has been shown to improve health and wellbeing of the many who have tried.
It's simple! raise the head of your bed by 6 inches and sleep on it!

Inclined bed therapy is where one's bed is raised 6 to 8 inches at the head by using bricks, wedges, or blocks to raise it (even books). This can have a positive effect on your health and help with many disorders including:- Spinal cord injury, Multiple Sclerosis, back pain, Circulatory problems, acid reflux or GERD, sinus and respiratory disorders, sleep apnea, low metabolism, edema in the legs, and many others.

Its free to try for everyone. Feel free to tell your friends and families. Inclined Bed Therapy has brought a new lease of life to thousands and it can help you!

Inclined Bed Therapy should only be used as part of a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle includes following a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and being physically active.

You can find us on http://facebook.com/inclinedbedtherapy where you can share experiences, ask questions and learn more about how this simple non-invasive FREE therapy can help you and your family.

Hope you don't mind me offering some answers to questions you may have about IBT?

Have been reading this thread and can see there is an argument about the laws of physics, traction and inclined bed therapy. This is very easy to test using a line marked above your head when standing against a wall as we did when we were kids. You might be in for a shock when you sleep inclined. The resistance / friction between your body and the mattress affords your weight to be distributed differently to when sleeping flat. In other words, your body is trying to move down the bed and the friction prevents it from doing so. This applies traction to the spine much the same as an inversion table does. Nothing wrong with the physics here.
