David De John has been requested as a speaker on What’s in my Water? topics for health industry conferences, educational seminars at municipal venues, health and nutrition venues along with providing information to health care providers and medical facilities. 

David has been called upon to review findings from the Department of Health investigations relating to Public Water Supplies for a major newspaper. 

David started in the industry when he opened water filtration locations in Northeast Illinois and Northwest Indiana. Like most people in the industry, he focused on selling water softeners as the answer to most water problems. The workshops David attended all focused on the same thing: how to sell more equipment. In fact, one speaker stressed not talking about contaminants in drinking water, because it will only confuse people. It was as if there was a concern that people would get concerned and actually ask, What’s in my water?

David then came across information that changed his life forever. It was information that quoted the Center for Disease Control (CDC) stating that an estimated one million Americans became ill every year and one thousand peopledied annually due to infectious drinking water. Shocked by this report, David immediately contacted the National headquarters for the CDC, which verified that the information was correct. David realized that selling “off the shelf” water filtration equipment was not the answer to today’s water issues and walked away from his dealerships. He then began his quest to gather all of the documented information he could find about the quality of our nation’s drinking water.

The information in this book is a by-product of all of David’s research on our nation’s water quality from thousands of pages of data received through the Environmental Protection Agency, the Food and Drug Administration, the Center for Disease Control, the U. S. Department of Health, the American Journal of Public Health and others.

David has been a business consultant for over 30 years specializing in identifying future sonsumer market changes and identifying product and service niches in those markets.

He has been interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, Crains Chicago Business, Chicago Tribune, Golf Magaine, Small Business Opportunities Magazine, Direct Selling News, Millionaire Magazine, Robb Report, and has had 8 businesses that he personally created and launched listed in Entrepreneur Magazine's coveted annual Franchise and Business Opportuinty issue.

David is available to speak at seminars, conferences and educational classes for health care providers and other interested groups.
