                                             Cheers!

Despite the determination that water in Gümüşali village 40 kilometers
from Muş in eastern Anatolia is filled with microbes, people from all
over Turkey continue to flock there to drink it based on the claim that 
the water dissolves kidney stones. (!)

The Health Directorate analyzed the water and found it to be unfit for
drinking but people continue to drink it and fill containers to bring 
home.  For example, Nedim Kaplan came from Bitlis to drink and said
that "there are those who say it's beneficial.  The experts say otherwise
but there are many who say it is healthy."  Sicracettin Babura from 
Istanbul declared that "I'm drinking this water and my kidney stones
are disappearing."  Cahit Sezgin from Kahramanmaraş also said he 
thought the water would be healthy for kidney stones.

On the other hand, Dr. Rıfat Somay, an expert in infectious diseases
and clinical microbiology at Muş State Hospital, explained that "the
water in Muş that some people claim cures kidney stones is actually
filled with microbes, bacteria and parasites, based on our analysis.  So
people who drink it thinking it's good for kidney stones are actually
poisoning themselves.  After they drink it we see many incidents of
diarrhea, vomiting, serious body fluid loss and kidney failure. Even
death."
