 He put fifty chickens on chlorinated water and fifty chickens on non-chlorinated water. Seven months later, 95 percent of the chickens that drank the chlorinated water had arteriosclerosis, while none of the control chickens had any arteriosclerosis. chlorinated water has also been linked to increased rate of miscarriage and hypothyroid disease, as well as with allergies, asthma, respiratory problems, and destruction of protein. By-products of chlorination include chloroform, which causes excessive free-radical formation, oxidation of cholesterol, and acts as a carcinogen. |

| If animals are developing chlorine-related cancerous growths, then why is the government continuing to provide chlorinated water to its citizens?
Chlorinated water can enter our bodies in more than just the obvious ways. We can inhale chlorine in gas form, as steam from a hot shower, and/or absorb it through our skin! Taking a hot shower is a routine way to contaminate your body. Heat causes pores in the skin to expand. This factor, coupled with chlorines ability to vaporize quickly, allows the toxin to be absorbed into the body very quickly. |

 It is very disconcerting that especially the fresh plant foods we wash with chlorinated water generate these toxins. Eating these foods and drinking chlorinated water at the same meal certainly exacerbates the situation. The deadly cancer-causing agents this combination produces are extremely toxic in infinitesimal amounts. Thus, only very little chlorine is required to bring about a powerful destructive effect. |

| Drinking chlorinated water can also contribute to Candidas overgrowth because chlorine kills the beneficial bacteria that normally regulate its reproduction. Without enough natural digestive flora in your system, the fungus can proliferate unchecked.
DOCTOR'S NOTE: Because of my extensive research concerning digestive disorders and remedies, I believe Candida overgrowth is rampant. |

 The drinking of chlorinated water has finally been officially linked to an increased incidence of colon cancer." This was the conclusion of an epidemiologist at Oak
Ridge Associated Universities, and reported in the April 1989 Acres, USA. The report concluded that drinking chlorinated water for fifteen years or more was conducive to an increased risk of colon cancer. The report added that bathing in chlorinated water, because of absorption through the skin, was equal to drinking two quarts of chlorinated water. |

 Some membranes can be destroyed by chlorinated water, highly alkaline water, or temperatures above 100?Fahrenheit. If the water is chlorinated, a cellulose membrane is needed. A polymer membrane can be used if the water is not chlorinated.
Some people have had the membrane break in less than the expected three years. For this reason, it is good to check the water purity regularly. Newer and stronger membranes are now available on the market, but we are still in the habit of checking the water purity every four months and/or whenever there is a change in the taste. |

| It's estimated over 200 million Americans have at least marginally chlorinated water pumped into their homes every day for washing clothes, bathing, cooking, and drinking.
Chlorine may be effective at eliminating many pathogens, but its presence in drinking water does more harm than good. When chlorine is added to water, it bonds with other natural compounds to form Trihalo-methanes (THM's). These chlorine byproducts trigger the production of free radicals in the body, thereby causing extensive cell damage. |
| Young found that the consumption of chlorinated water significantly correlates to the onset of brain and colon cancer. Kanarek and Young also observed a higher risk for bladder and gastrointestinal cancer.82
An even more alarming study published in the American Journal of Public Health estimates a 95% risk of developing cancer from regular consumption of chlorinated tap water!83
It's simply ridiculous to continue chlorinating water for consumer use. |

 Treating seeds or sprouts with chlorinated water or other disinfectants, diminishes but does not eradicate the pathogens. Gamma irradiation, on the other hand, controls Salmonella and E coli 0157:H7 on alfalfa sprouts at doses approved for irradiating meat (which are higher than the 1.0 kiloGray dose used for fruits and vegetables) without affecting germination of seeds and constitutes the best preventive measure now available for decontaminating sprouts and other agricultural products (Taormina et al, 1999; Stephenson, 1997). |

| The researchers were able to determine that women who were exposed to chlorinated water had a 48 percent increased risk of bladder cancer, a 38 percent increased risk of rectal cancer, a 90 percent increased risk of esophageal cancer and an 11 percent increased risk of breast cancer. Men were not affected as much as women. Adding chlorine to drinking water causes a chemical reaction that results in the formation of a cocktail of carcinogens. |
| Eating these foods and drinking chlorinated water at the same meal certainly exacerbates the situation. The deadly cancer-causing agents this combination produces are extremely toxic in infinitesimal amounts. Thus, only very little chlorine is required to bring about a powerful destructive effect. All this creates the need for implementing new water treatment methods which do not use chlorine for cities and households You may not be able to get your government to switch over to a healthier and more effective water treatment system, but you can certainly do this for yourself and your family. |
| If you have cancer or wish to prevent it, make certain to avoid the following things: Chlorinated water; fluoridated water; pesticides and other chemical toxins as found in non-organic foods, commercial beauty products, chemical hair dyes, chemical shampoos and skin lotions; unnatural makeup products; artificial sweeteners such as Aspartame and Splenda; exposure to ionizing radiation (X-rays, mammograms, etc.); alcohol; cigarettes; sunscreens; microwave ovens; pharmaceutical drugs. (Almost all drugs are toxic for the body and can contribute to or directly cause cancer. |

 These compounds include such deadly chemicals as chloroform, bromoform, and carbon tetrachloride, all of which have been linked with increased incidences of atherosclerosis, colon and rectal cancer, and bladder cancer. chlorinated water also destroys much of our beneficial intestinal flora, needed to protect us from pathogens.

| The comments about drinking chlorinated water also apply to bathing in it. Aquasmart Technologies Inc., a Canadian company that makes filtration devices, states: "More chlorine is absorbed through the skin during the average shower than by drinking two quarts (approximately two liters) of water." To counteract this problem, a carbon filter unit can be purchased to install on the bathroom showerhead.

 So, no sugar and no fluoridated or chlorinated water. What else?"
"We need to screen you for allergies and sensitivities."
"As far as I know, I'm not allergic."
"You might not be, but a basic principle of natural, nutritional medicine is to always check for allergies and sensitivities whenever there are recurrent infections. When we find allergies and sensitivities—and we almost always do in cases of recurrent infection—and eliminate or desensitize them, recurrent infection nearly always decreases."
"OK. Now what about my vitamin C and any other supplements? |

Fluorine
Fluorine is known as the structure, beauty, and youth element. It is found in the structural system of the body and tooth enamel. It is good for preserving bones. It helps to resist the forces of disease, beautify the body, strengthen the tendons, and knit bones. It works very well in combination with adequate calcium. Fluorine is stored in the spleen, eye structures, and elastic tissues. It influences the deepest internal tissues. One of the most important organs it affects is the spleen, which needs fluorine in order to function. |

 Even those who drink chlorinated water appear to be at risk. A study in Wisconsin found that those living in communities that chlorinated their water had higher levels of blood cholesterol than people in communities that did not.
Solvents such as alcohol and the commonly used dry-cleaning agent and paint thinner trichloroethylene also appear to damage cholesterol metabolism. Since reducing your body's exposure to the above chemicals can result in lower cholesterol levels, it makes sense to do all you can to achieve this. |
| At the simplest level, those who drink chlorinated water are at a higher risk of developing breast cancer. It seems that chlorine reacts with some of the substances in the water to form trihalomethanes, compounds linked to breast cancer. This cancer-inducing effect has been demonstrated in a study performed on women drinking chlorinated tap water in Louisiana.
Other chlorine-containing chemicals known to cause breast cancer are the organochlorines. |

| He found that healthy, life-giving, healing water makes beautiful hexagonal crystals, whereas pathogenic water will either not crystallize, such as with chlorinated water, or will make partially deformed crystals.
To deepen our cosmic appreciation of water as it relates to humans, we need to know a little bit more about the chemistry of water. What we need to understand is that water's two hydrogens and one oxygen create what is known as a dipole, the positive pole being the hydrogen atoms, and the negative pole being the oxygen atom. |

 Kerastase Soleil Products
Soleil translates to "sun," and that's the theme for this subcategory of Kerastase products, which is designed to treat hair that has been exposed to the damaging effects of not only the sun but also the ocean, wind, and chlorinated water (as in swimming pools). Perhaps no one in L'Oreal's marketing department noticed that these formulations are remarkably similar to every other Kerastase product. |

| A study in Canada in 1995 showed that long-term exposure to chlorinated water caused a 34 percent increase in bladder and colon cancer. Research by the National Institute of Health Sciences and Shizuoka Prefectural University found that natural organic substances such as soy, fruits, and green or black tea reacted with tap water to form cancer-causing compounds. Dr. Riddle at Kemysts Laboratory reports that chlorine and chlorination by-products are linked to cancer of the bladder, liver, rectum, and colon, as well as heart disease, anemia, high blood pressure, and allergies. |

 According to a joint study conducted by
Harvard University and the Medical College of Wisconsin, the simple act of drinking chlorinated water accounts for about 15 percent of all rectal cancers and about 9 percent of all bladder cancers. These add up to about 10,700 cases of cancer every year in the United States that are suspected to be due to drinking chlorinated water. |

Fluoride is a known poison that inhibits a number of essential biochemical processes. In addition, although fluoride has been reported to increase bone density, the quality of that bone seems to be impaired. This is demonstrated by an increase in the number of hip fractures in communities where fluoridated water is consumed. |
| Even National Cancer Institute scientists have published articles showing an increase in cancer risk from chlorinated water. If cancers are increased, the immune system must be weakened. And there are many studies showing that fluoride at the levels found in our drinking water—and in our tissues if we drink that water—interferes with both the mobility of our white blood cells and their ability to engulf and kill germs."
"So what do I substitute for water?"
"Please keep drinking lots of water—it is good for you. But make sure it's water without chlorine, fluoride, and other chemical additives. |

THE DARK SIDE OF FLUORIDE
The chemical cousin of chlorine is the halogen molecule fluorine, a widely distributed trace mineral of the Earth. But naturally occurring fluorine is a far cry from artificial fluoride, medicated into municipal drinking water of half the American population. |
