(MUSIC) GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY!
AND WELCOME TO THE BALANCING ACT.
WE ARE SO GLAD YOU DECIDED TO JOIN US THIS MORNING.
I'M JULIE MORAN. AND I'M OLGA VILLAVERDE.
TODAY, WE ARE STARTING OFF WITH OUR HEALTH.
YOU KNOW WE ALL HAVE A PANCREAS. AND MOST OF US, IT WOULD BE SAFE
TO SAY, I THINK, TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.
I AGREE, I AGREE. AND AFTER ALL, A HEALTHY ONE
MAKES PROTEINS. WHICH HELPS BREAK DOWN OUR FOOD
INTO NUTRIENTS. SOUND LIKE ANATOMY?
YES. THERE YOU GO.
WELL, WHAT HAPPENS IF WE HAVE AN UNHEALTHY PANCREAS.
WELL, IT CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES WHICH MANY TIMES
GO UNRECOGNIZED AND UNDER DIAGNOSED.
AND WE ARE GOING TO GO BEHIND THE MYSTERY TODAY TO LOOK INTO
EPI. GREAT SEGMENT HERE.
SO, LET'S GET STARTED. THE BALANCING ACT STARTS, RIGHT
NOW. (MUSIC).
(MUSIC) THE PANCREAS.
IT'S NOT AN ORGAN WE THINK ABOUT EVERY SINGLE DAY.
BUT A HEALTHY PANCREAS MAKES ENZYMES HELPING DIGEST FOOD INTO
USABLE NUTRIENTS. FOR SOME, THE PANCREAS FAILS TO
PRODUCE ENOUGH ENZYMES, RESULTING IN AN UNDIGESTED FOOD.
AND INADEQUATE NUTRIENTS FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH.
THE CONDITION IS CALLED, EPI. ONE TOO OFTEN UNDER RECOGNIZED
AND UNDER DIAGNOSED. WELCOME TO THE SECOND PART OF
OUR THREE PART SERIES ON RARE AND GENETIC DISEASES.
OUR FOCUS THIS MORNING IS EXOCRINE PANCREATIC
INSUFFICIENCY OR EPI. WE'RE GOING TO TALK WITH DOCTOR
BOB ETEMAD, A GASTROENTEROLOGIST FROM LANKENAU MEDICAL CENTER IN
WYNNEWOOD PENNSYLVANIA. AND A LITTLE BIT LATER IN OUR
SEGMENT, WE ARE GOING TO MEET WITH AN EPI PATIENT.
HERE TO SHOW HER VERY PERSONAL STORY AND INSIGHT ON EPI.
WELCOME BACK, DOCTOR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE AGAIN.
I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU. I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT EPI THE
LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE. LET'S REFRESH THE MEMORY HERE IN
TERMS OF THE EPI AND WHY IT'S SO OFTEN UNDER DIAGNOSED.
SO, EXOCRINE PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY OR EPI IS
DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE BECAUSE SO MANY OF THE SYMPTOMS OVER LAP
OTHER VERY COMMON THINGS. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, DIARRHEA, WELL
SOME PEOPLE HAVE LOOSE STOOLS HERE AND THERE.
AND THEY KNOW TO IGNORE IT. OR SOME PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE A GAS
AFTER AN UNUSUAL MEAL AND THEY MIGHT THEN LET IT GO.
BUT IT'S THIS COMBINATION OF SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH MORE
SERIOUS SYMPTOMS THAT WE WORRY ABOUT MORE.
AND WE DO KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THE PANCREAS IS IN OUR BODY.
CAN YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT WHY PANCREATIC ENZYMES ARE SO
IMPORTANT? YES.
SO, THE PANCREAS HELPS YOU DIGEST FOOD.
CORRECT. I MEAN WE CHEW OUR FOOD AND THAT
HELPS AT ONE LEVEL. BUT ONCE THE FOOD IS BROKEN DOWN
TO ACTUALLY EXTRACT THE NUTRIENTS, WE NEED SPECIAL
PROTEINS, EZYMES FROM OUR BODY TO
BE ABLE TO EXTRACT THOSE NUTRIENTS AND INCORPORATE IT
INTO US. AND IF THE PANCREAS DOESN'T MAKE
THOSE. THERE'S NO OTHER ORGAN THAT CAN
DO IT. NOW, WE KNOW THAT WEIGHT LOSE IS
SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO ACHIEVE.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM EPI, THAT REALLY
IS A UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE THAT THEY SUFFER THROUGH.
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. THE ISSUE IS THEN AGAIN, THE
NUTRIENTS ARE NOT GETTING TO THEIR SYSTEM.
AND YOUR BODY IS STILL TURNING OVER
PROTEINS AND WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO REPLACE IT, YOU
BEGIN TO LOSE BODY MASS. PROTEIN, FAT, REALLY ANY PART OF
YOUR BODY. IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IN THE
LONG RUN. BUT THERE ARE THINGS TODAY, THAT
DOCTORS ARE DOING THAT ARE HELPING PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM
EPI, CORRECT? ABSOLUTELY.
OF COURSE THE FIRST STEP, IS MAKING THE DIAGNOSES.
YES. AND THAT'S VERY CRITICAL.
BUT FORTUNATELY, WE DO HAVE REPLACEMENT ENZYME THERAPY.
TO HELP US TO ACCOMMODATE FOR PATIENTS THAT DON'T MAKE IT ON
THEIR OWN. AND ON THAT NOTE DOCTOR, I'M
GOING TO ASK YOU TO HOLD OFF RIGHT THERE.
YES. BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW, WHEN WE COME BACK.
AND ALSO, WE ARE GOING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT EPI AS WE GET AN UP
CLOSE AND PERSONAL ACCOUNT WITH A VERY SPECIAL PATIENT SUFFERING
FROM EPI. HER STORY, JUST AHEAD.
STAY WITH US. (MUSIC)
(MUSIC) WELCOME BACK
EVERYONE. WE'VE BEEN TALKING TODAY WITH
DOCTOR BOB ETEMAD. A GASTROENTEROLOGIST FROM
LANKENAU MEDICAL CENTER IN PENNSYLVANIA.
AND JOINING US NOW, RHONDA AYALA, AN EPI PATIENT WHO'S
BEEN DEALING WITH HER CONDITION SINCE 2010.
WELCOME BACK. HI.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME BACK. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE BECAUSE
AGAIN, A GREAT SEGMENT WHERE YOU ARE PROVIDING SO MUCH VALUABLE
INFORMATION. I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE
BIT IN THE PAST, RHONDA. BUT TELL ME AGAIN, YOUR
CONDITION, WHAT SYMPTOMS WERE YOU FACING, WHAT WAS HAPPENING?
I WAS HAVING CRAMPING, BLOATING, DIARRHEA.
YOU KNOW, SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY AND I KNEW SOMETHING
WAS UP. SO, YOU KIND OF KNEW.
THIS ISN'T ME. I'M NOT DOING WELL.
THIS IS NOT GOOD. OK.
DOCTOR, SOMEONE LIKE RHONDA. SHE GOES TO HER DOCTOR.
SHE GETS DIAGNOSED WITH EPI. THEN WHAT HAPPENS?
USUALLY THE DOCTOR WILL LOOK AT ENZYME REPLACEMENT THERAPY TO
REPLACE WHAT HER BODY IS NOT MAKING.
OK. AND THOSE ENZYME REPLACEMENT
THERAPIES ARE WHAT? THEY ARE ACTUALLY CAPSULES.
THEY ARE CAPSULES THAT HAVE SMALL LITTLE TINY BITS OF
PANCREAS ENZYME INSIDE THEM. REALLY?
WHAT ARE THEY CALLED? PANCREATIC ENZYME REPLACEMENT
THERAPY. SO PERTS?
PERTS, THAT'S RIGHT. ARE YOU ON THESE?
I SURE AM. YOU ARE?
OK. SO, TELL ME HOW THAT WORKS.
WELL, I HAVE TO TAKE THEM WITH MEALS.
AND THAT'S THE HARDEST PART IN THE BEGINNING IS REMEMBERING TO
TAKE THEM WITH THE MEALS. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER TO KEEP
THEM WITH YOU. YOU KNOW SO THEY ARE ALWAYS WITH
YOU EVERY TIME YOU EAT. AND DID THAT HELP MANAGE YOUR
SYMPTOMS? DID THEY GO AWAY?
DID THEY COME BACK? THEY WERE MANAGEABLE.
THEY WERE MANAGEABLE AND THEN THEY CAME BACK A LITTLE BIT.
BUT WHAT I DID WAS, I HAVE GREAT OPEN COMMUNICATION WITH MY
DOCTOR. SO, I WENT RIGHT BACK TO HIM AND
TOLD HIM, HEY SOMETHING IS GOING ON AGAIN.
AND YOU KNOW HE CHANGED THINGS UP AND NOW THEY ARE TOTALLY
MANAGEABLE. AND DOCTOR, THAT'S REALLY KEY
HERE. TO REALLY HAVE THAT OPEN LINE OF
COMMUNICATION WITH THE DOCTOR. BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY SOMETHING
THAT WILL LAST FOREVER. IT REALLY WILL.
I WOULD SAY THAT BOTH POINTS. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT SHE FELT
COMFORTABLE SPEAKING TO THE DOCTOR ABOUT THESE SYMPTOMS
BECAUSE THEY ARE SOMETIMES PRIVATE FOR SOME PEOPLE.
AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO FEEL THAT OPENNESS.
AND IT IS A CONDITION THAT PROBABLY WOULD STAY WITH THE
PATIENT FOR MOST OF THE CAUSES OF EXOCRINE PANCREATIC
INSUFFICIENCY FOR A LARGE PART OF THEIR LIFE.
AND RHONDA, WAS IT HARD TO INCORPORATE THESE ENZYMES INTO
YOUR LIFE? THAT YOU KIND OF HAD TO
REMEMBER. IT WAS EASY TO REMEMBER BECAUSE
WHEN YOU DON'T TAKE THEM WITH MEALS, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T FEEL
GOOD AGAIN. SO, YOU KNOW ALL YOU NEED IS
THAT ONE LITTLE OUCH TO REMEMBER, SO, I'M DOING IT
PRETTY REGULARLY NOW. AND DOCTOR, FROM WHAT I'M
HEARING FROM OUR LAST SEGMENT TOGETHER AND THIS ONE, IS AGAIN,
RARE TO HEAR ABOUT THIS. BUT ONCE DIAGNOSED, YOU REALLY
CAN MANAGE THE SYMPTOMS. ONCE IT IS DIAGNOSED.
IT REALLY CAN BE APPROPRIATELY MANAGED WITH THE CARE OF A
PHYSICIAN WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH IT AND A PATIENT WHO IS GOING TO
BE COOPERATIVE WITH THEIR THERAPY.
RHONDA, FOR SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT MIGHT BE SUFFERING FROM EPI
OR MAYBE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE.
AND MAYBE THEY ARE IN THE SAME BOAT YOU WERE A FEW YEARS AGO.
WHAT WOULD YOU TELL THEM? I WOULD TELL THEM NOT TO SELF
DIAGNOSE AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU ATE.
BE OPEN WITH YOUR DOCTOR. YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM EVERY
THING. SO, THEY WILL THROUGH OUT WHAT'S
GARBAGE AND THEY'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU IF YOU
ARE HONEST. GREAT ADVICE.
DOCTOR, FOR PATIENTS OUT THERE AND FOR PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT
MAY WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT EPI, IS THERE A WEBSITE THEY CAN
GO TO? THERE A NUMBER, BUT I THINK A
GOOD PLACE TO START WOULD BE IDENTIFYEPI.COM
IT'S A GOOD GENERAL RESOURCE.
AND FROM THERE, I'M SURE THEY CAN FIND OTHER INFORMATION AS
WELL. IDENTIFYEPI.COM
THAT'S CORRECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GREAT INFORMATION.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
GOOD LUCK. AND OF COURSE THIS HAS BEEN OUR
SECOND SERIES ON EPI. BE SURE TO JOIN US AGAIN FOR
ANOTHER BEHIND THE MYSTERY RARE AND GENETIC DISEASES.
AS WE EXAMINE NOW THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AND CYSTIC
FIBROSIS. SO, STAY TUNED FOR THAT.
IN THE MEANTIME, VISIT US AT BALANCINGACT.COM

(MUSIC) (MUSIC)
THAT'S RIGHT, LADIES.
I AM HEADING OVER TO MY GIRLFRIEND'S HOUSE FOR A LITTLE
COFFEE, A LITTLE TEA. A LITTLE CONVERSATION.
AND ALSO I A LITTLE TAKE ABOUT GUN SAFETY.
NOW, WE ARE ALSO IN THE CAR TO KIND OF DEMONSTRATE HOW YOU
SHOULD BEHAVE IF YOU ARE LEGALLY PERMITTED TO BE CARRYING A GUN
IN THE CAR. HOW YOU SHOULD BEHAVE IF YOU ARE
PULLED OVER FOR A MINOR TRAFFIC STOP.
OR A VIOLATION. OK.
I'M ABOUT TO PULL INTO THE HOUSE NOW.
AND THERE IS A POLICE OFFICER. HI.
OFFICER, DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG?
MS. KNOX. RIGHT?
HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME? I THINK YOU LOOK FAMILIAR.
DOES THAT MEAN THAT I'VE BEEN IN THIS SITUATION BEFORE?
HOW ARE YOU DOING? I'M DOING GOOD, HOW ARE YOU
DOING? I'M DOING VERY WELL.
NO HARM NO FOULS. I'VE GOT A CONCEALED WEAPON.
AND HOW SHOULD I STORE IT? HOW SHOULD YOU STORE IT?
A COUPLE DIFFERENT WAYS. WHEN YOU GET PULLED OVER, WHEN
THE RED AND BLUE LIGHTS TURN ON THERE IS A LARGE STRESS
SITUATION. (LAUGHS)
THAT MAKES YOU NERVOUS! YES. EVERYONE GETS VERY VERY NERVOUS.
IF YOU HAVE A CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMIT, YOU CAN STORE IT ALMOST
ANYWHERE INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND IT SHOULD BE FINE.
AT LEAST IN OUR STATE, RIGHT NOW.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CONCEALED WEAPON'S PERMIT, THE BEST WAY IS
TO ACTUALLY MAKE SURE THE WEAPON IS READILY INCASED.
OR SECURELY INCASED. WHICH IS TYPICALLY THE GLOVEBOX.
OK, GLOVEBOX. GOT YOU.
THE GLOVEBOX WOULD BE GOOD BECAUSE IT TAKES ONE MOVE TO GET
TO IT. THE CENTER CONSOLE HAS A CLOSING
LID. YES.
NOW, I LIKE THAT YOU ARE HERE. BECAUSE I'M ACTUALLY GOING
INSIDE TO TALK TO MY GIRLFRIEND. SHE HAS BEEN EXPECTING YOU.
WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT. ABOUT GUN SAFETY.
WOULD YOU MIND COMING IN? I WOULD LOVE TO.
LOVE TO SEE YOU IN THERE. SHE'S GOING TO BE JUST AS
NERVOUS AS I WAS, THAT'S OKAY.
WHEN I GOT PULLED OVER AND YOU WERE HERE, BUT COME ON IN.
WE CAN DO THAT. OKAY, DO YOU LIKE CAFE CUBANO?
THAT SOUNDS FAIR. THEN YOU'LL LOVE HER.
LET'S GO. (LAUGHS)
(MUSIC) WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WELL YOU KNEW I WAS COMING, BUT DID YOU KNOW HE WAS COMING?
(KNOCKS) SHE'S ALL NERVOUS NOW
HE'S NOT HERE TO ARREST YOU. I'M LIKE.
AM I GETTING ARRESTED? DON'T WORRY, DON'T WORRY.
COME ON IN EVERYBODY. HI OFFICER.
THIS IS OFFICER RYAN WILLIAMS. AND HE IS HERE BECAUSE YOU KNOW
WE WERE HERE TO TALK ABOUT GUN SAFETY, REMEMBER?
I WAS CURIOUS. WHEN YOU WALK INTO THE HOUSE AND
YOU'VE GOT YOUR GLASSES AND YOU'VE GOT YOUR KEYS.
AND YOU'VE GOT YOUR GUN. AND YOU'VE GOT YOUR CELL PHONE
(LAUGHS) IT SEEMS LIKE THE
NATURAL PLACE TO PUT EVERYTHING. WOULD JUST BE RIGHT HERE.
WHEN YOU FIRST WALK IN . MOST PEOPLE COME IN, THEY PUT
THEIR GLASSES, THEIR CELL PHONE DOWN.
THEIR KEYS AND IF THEY ARE CARRYING A WEAPON, THEY'LL PUT
IT DOWN ON THE COUNTER. YES, BUT I'VE GOT KIDS.
SO I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT. AGREED.
THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE WORST THINGS TO DO.
SO, THIS NEW ROUTINE YOU'VE GOT TO DEVELOP.
ALRIGHT, WELL, A LOT OF TIPS THAT WE ARE GOING TO LEARN
TODAY. I'M ACTUALLY MAKING SOME CUBAN
COFFEE. DO YOU WANT SOME?
DO YOU HAVE DONUTS TO GO WITH IT THOUGH?
IS HE HIGH MAINTENANCE? HE'S A DIVA!
(MUSIC) NOW, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT
YOUR KIDS, BUT MY GIRLS LIVE IN THE BEDROOM.
THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEIR BEDROOM LOOK LIKE.
THEY SLEEP IN OUR BED ALMOST EVERY NIGHT.
SO, OFFICER I HAVE TO BE HONEST. YOU'RE PROBABLY TOO NERVOUS.
A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS ABOUT HAVING A LOADED WEAPON IN MY
BEDROOM. YES, I COMPLETELY AGREE.
I KNOW MOST OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY KEEP THEIR WEAPONS INSIDE THEIR
MASTER BEDROOM. I'M IN THE SAME BOAT WITH YOU
THOUGH. THE BEST WAY TO ACTUALLY DEVELOP
SAFETY AND EMPOWER THE PARENTS TO MAKE SURE THE WEAPONS ARE
SAFE. THIS IS DOWN FOR DEMONSTRATION
PURPOSES BUT ARE SO SMALL THEY CAN BE HIDDEN IN A DRAWER.
I LOVE THAT. THAT'S GOOD.
IF YOU NEED IT AT NIGHT, IT'S DARK AND YOU DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR THE LIGHT. PUT YOUR OWN CODES?
PUT YOUR OWN CODES IN IT. WE CAN USE JUST BY TEXTILE WITH
A FINGERS. WE CAN GRAB OUR WEAPON IF WE
NEED TO. IT'S STEEL, IT CAN BE SECURELY
INCASED AND HIDDEN. THE CHILDREN DON'T NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT IT. WE DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT IT
EITHER. QUICK AND EASY.
I LOVE IT. AND MY BOYS WOULD REALLY TRY.
I LIKE THAT. YOU TALKED ABOUT THIS AND I
THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT. YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN
ONE GUN, RIGHT. OR A LARGER WEAPON?
THEN WHAT? WHERE DO YOU PUT THAT?
LARGER WEAPONS, MAY NEED A LARGER QUICK RELESE SAFE.
IT'S ALSO HIGH ENOUGH TO GET AWAY FROM THE KIDS.
IT'S STILL STEEL. IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, YOU KNOW,
YOU CAN COME BACK IN HERE AND STORE MULTIPLE WEAPONS.
IT HAS MULTIPLE SLOTS. AND STILL QUICK RELEASE ACCESS
IT. QUICKER THEN MAYBE A COMBINATION
LOCK IN CASE IT'S A STRESS SITUATION.
YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO OPERATE THAT.
YES. AND I WAS THINKING IF IT'S DARK?
WHAT IF IT'S BURGLARY AND IT'S DARK AND YOU ARE ALREADY SO
NERVOUS AND YOU ARE FUMBLING AROUND?
AGREED. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SITUATION
BECAUSE MAYBE SOMONE IS BREAKING IN YOUR HOUSE AND YOU ARE UNDER
STRESS. QUICK RELEASE SAFES ARE GOOD,
FIRST OFF, BECAUSE THEY ARE FINGER ACTIVATED.
BUT THE NEXT THING YOU MAY ACTUALLY WANT TO HAVE IN THERE
OR BEDSIDE IS ACTUAL LIGHTS TO ACTUALLY USE.
OK. THIS HAS BEEN WONDERFUL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. HEY, ANYBODY READY FOR SOME
COFFEE? I'VE BEEN WAITING.
READY? AND DONUTS!
OH MY GOSH! THAT'S IT.
LET'S GO. I WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH,
YOU'RE WELCOME. FOR COMING BY.
IT WAS A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WONDERFUL TO MEET YOU. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR LETTING US USE YOUR BEAUTIFUL HOME.
NEXT TIME, FOR THE RECORD, IT'S YOUR PLACE.
IT'S MY PLACE. (LAUGHS)
HOPEFULLY IT'S SOMETHING FUN LIKE SWIMMING OR
SOMETHING REALLY GREAT. REALLY.
EDUCATION IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT AND WE ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR JOINING US IN THE SEGMENT. IT REALLY IS INFORMATIONAL AND
EDUCATIONAL AND THIS IS ONLY PART TWO.
WE'VE GOT TWO MORE PARTS TO GO. THIS IS A FOUR PART SERIES THAT
WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING ON GUN SAFETY, THE IMPORTANCE OF IT.

OF GOOD CLEAN WATER, IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR
YOUR HEALTH. AND AS A MOM, I TRY TO ENCOURAGE
MY FAMILY TO DRINK WATER, VERSUS THE NOT AS GOOD FOR YOU DRINKS
OUT THERE. WELL, TO HELP US GET THE MOST
OUT OF OUR WATER, AND AS PART OF OUR INCREDIBLE DISCOVERY SERIES,
THIS MORNING. OUR PRODUCT EXPERT, MIRANDA
KHAN, IS HERE WITH, YES, ANOTHER INCREDIBLE DISCOVERY.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE MIRANDA.
YOU KNOW, I LOVE GOOD PURE CLEAN WATER.
TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS ONE.
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
AND YES, WHY NOT BE SAFE? AND USE A WATER FILTER.
EVEN IF YOU'RE WATER LOOKS AND SMELLS OK.
IT'S JUST A PRECAUTION TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY'S HEALTH.
OK. SO TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THIS PARTICLE FILTER YOU DISCOVERED.
WELL, THIS FILTER IS CALLED THE CLARO SWISS MAXIMA PLUS FILTER.
AND I LOVE IT BECAUSE IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH MOST FILTER
PITCHERS THAT HAVE OVAL FILTER CARTRIDGES.
AND I THINK WE'VE ALL SEEN THOSE, RIGHT?
YES, SURE. OK, WELL, THIS FILTER NOT ONLY
GETS RID OF ALL THE STUFF THAT WE DON'T WANT.
IT ALSO UTILIZES THIS GREAT TECHNOLOGY CALLED, INTELLIGENT
MINERAL CONTROL. WHICH BASICALLY REMOVES ALL
THOSE CONTAMINANTS THAT WE DON'T WANT.
LIKE LEAD AND COPPER. BUT IT LEAVES IN ALL THOSE
HEALTHY MINERALS THAT WE DO WANT.
THAT ARE GOOD FOR OUR BODY. LIKE CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM.
WOW! SO, THIS REALLY TAKES THE GUESS
WORK OUT OF IT FOR ME. I'M SO HAPPY TO KNOW THAT THERE
IS SOMETHING THAT GIVES ME THE GOOD AND TAKES OUT THE BAD.
RIGHT. IT DOES EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT IT
TO DO. RIGHT.
BUT WHAT'S REALLY INNOVATIVE ABOUT THIS FILTER, JULIE, AND
WHY I CALL IT AN INCREDIBLE DISCOVERY, IS THAT IN ADDITION
TO BEING A GREAT WATER FILER. THIS FILTER ACTUALLY ADDS
VITAMIN C TO YOUR WATER WHILE FILTERING.
WHAT A CLEVER IDEA! I MEAN, YOU'RE RIGHT.
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE DISCOVERY. I LOVE THAT!
I FIGURED YOU WOULD. YES, THIS FILTER ACTUALLY ADDS
VITAMIN C RIGHT INTO YOUR REGULAR TAP WATER.
WHICH AS WE KNOW, A LOT OF US TAKE VITAMIN C BECAUSE IT'S SO
BENEFICIAL TO OUR HEALTH. IT'S AN ANTIOXIDANT AND HELP US
FIGHT INFECTIONS. HELPS WOUNDS TO HEAL.
HELP PROTECT OUR TEETH, GUMS AND OUR BONES.
IT'S JUST ALL AROUND GOOD FOR YOU.
ABSOLUTELY, I MEAN, I TAKE VITAMIN C WHEN I HAVE A COLD.
BUT I ALSO THINK IT'S JUST BENEFICIAL TO HAVE IT AS PART OF
OUR DIET, EVERY DAY. RIGHT!
AND NOW YOU CAN DO IT WITH THIS WATER FILTER.
WONDERFUL! SO, WHETHER YOUR TAP WATER LOOKS
OR SMELLS FUNNY OR NOT, CLARO SWISS MAXIMA PLUS C FILTER, I
GOT THAT RIGHT, YOU DID! IS A GREAT WAY TO ENSURE THAT
