Shungite mineral - water cleansing and electromagnetic radiation blocking

[Antony]

Hi everyone,
Considering the speeding up of events i am in the process of preparing for the 'survival' period after the chaos unveils . The vital commodity is water, which will be difficult to get in enough quantity and clean/safe quality.
Searched the Web for different filters and other means such as tablets that are supposingly able to sterilize even mud/swamp water. Most of them contain chloride and other chemicals - seems to me not a good 'deal'. Later I tumbled upon forgotten by me (my former co-worker - a nice matronal lady used to clean the tapped chlorinated water with it before using it as a drinking water) - the Shungite mineral/stone with amazing properties (at least it is claimed so). It is very rare and extracted mostly in Karelia, northern Russian region (next to Finland).
What's even more interesting - it has electrical/all kind of cell/wi-fi frequencies blocking ability (Electromagnetic radiation as a whole). The producers even make it in pyramidal shape - applying "golden section/parameters' - basically Egypt/Mayan like sacred geometry standards- to be used at home/office.
Here is description of it:

Have anyone heard or tried it? If the claimed qualities are 'close' to truth and may be worth trying.

I was struggling to find some actual research data on Shungite.

Page 4 here may be interesting:

According to this, Shungite releases iron into the water.

The authors of Dancing with Water recommend shungite be used to “polish” already filtered and structured water. Using it to filter water may not be an efficient use of its potential. It can be used to remove fluoride after simple carbon filtration.

Interesting! But no references, as usual. But if true, then perhaps these showerhead filters remove fluoride:

Some interesting info here, although again without references:

When placed in water, fullerenes in shungite attract and neutralize waterborne contaminants. Shungite has been used commercially in Russia as a water purification media since the 1990s. Among the list of contaminants it will remove are: bacteria (and other microbes), nitrates, heavy metals, pesticides, volatile organics, pharmaceuticals, chlorine, and fluoride (however, as with other forms of carbon filtration, it is not recommended for the removal of fluoride because it becomes burdened so rapidly). Its ability to enhance water goes far beyond filtration as demonstrated by the water from lake Onega near the shungite deposit in Russia. Water from the lake can be used today for drinking without any prior treatment—the result of thousands of years of interaction with shungite. One of the reasons shungite has the ability to neutralize contaminants is because the fullerenes within its composition can hold a tremendous amount of hydrogen. The stone has been documented to have a high oxidative/reductive capacity. Shungite water is known for its antioxidant effects.

...

Research indicates there is a decrease in the histamine in the bloodstream of those who drink shungite water—and a corresponding decrease in allergies.

Someone who speaks Russian may be able to find the research paper that links Shungite with histamine.

There are plenty of interesting pages available in this book preview on Google:
