Wrong answer, Charles. The definition of "treatment free" hinges on who is making the distinction. They can call water and air treatments, if they choose. And I can say: "it's a distinction without a difference." 

It's like the use of "drug." Some people include coffee as a drug, some even would include sugar. To me, calling sugar a drug trivializes the drug problem. Same goes for "treatment." If it includes feeding bees, you have gone over the deep end.

This is an informed discussion. That rules out any sort of hyperbole, fanaticism and alternative facts -- "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
