Chlorine in Municipal water
chlorine: Added to most municipal water supplies, this disinfectant hardens arteries, destroys proteins in the body, irritates skin and sinus conditions, and aggravates asthma, allergies, and respiratory problems. o Chloroform: This powerful by-product of chlorination causes excessive free-radical formation (accelerated aging!), normal cells to mutate, and cholesterol to oxidize. It's a known carcinogen! o DCA (Dichloride acidic acid): This chlorine by-product alters cholesterol metabolism and has been shown to cause liver cancer in lab animals. o MX (another chlorinated acid): Another by-product of chlorination, MX is known to cause genetic mutations that can lead to cancer growth and has been found in all chlorinated water for which it was tested. o Possible cause of bladder and rectal cancer: Research has indicated that drinking chlorinated water may increase the risks for bladder and rectal cancers in the US. Dear Reader, You wouldn't knowingly bathe in toxins every morning...or set out to ravage your lungs and sinuses, irritate your allergies, aggravate your skin, or...perhaps most horrifying of all...Willingly increase your risk of cancer... would you? Of course not. But the fact is, chlorine and its by-products in your shower water are powerful toxins-deadly to bacteria and fungi, and possibly poison for your
body. You absorb 6 to 100 times more chlorine in a shower than you do by drinking the same water! Tests show that your body can absorb more chlorine as a result of a 10-minute shower than if you drank eight glasses of the
same water. How can that be? A warm shower opens up your pores, causing your skin to act like a sponge. As a result, you not only inhale the chlorine vapors, you also absorb them through your skin, directly into your bloodstream-at a rate that's up to six times higher than drinking. In terms of cumulative damage to your health, showering in chlorinated water could be one of the greatest risks you
take every day. In the short term, chlorinated shower water irritates your eyes, your sinuses, your throat, your skin, and your lungs. Long-term risks include excessive free-radical formation (which makes you age faster!), higher vulnerability to genetic mutations, difficulty metabolizing cholesterol, and hardened arteries. Showering in chlorine-treated water is a serious risk-but
it's also one of the very few risks you can erase, immediately. And its up to you to protect yourself. 100 years of sickness in the making For almost 100 years, chlorine has been added to disinfect our municipal water supply. The level of chlorine in your area depends on the quality of your water supply, but even if there's no noticeable taste or smell, the chlorine is present, as are the by-products of chlorination, which include some of the most potent carcinogens know. Research conducted jointly at Harvard University and the Medical College of Wisconsin indicated that drinking chlorinated water might be linked with an increase of bladder and rectal cancers in the U.S. There's also evidence that chlorine damages protein in your body. As I'm sure you're already aware, this disinfectant/bleach dries your skin, causes damaged and brittle hair, and burns your eye's. But what you may not know is that if you suffer from any of the following, chlorinated water can make your condition worse: * asthma
* sinus conditions
* allergies
* skin rashes
* emphysema But that's just for starters: More hazards of chlorinated water When chlorine reacts with the organic matter already present in water (humus, the organic material formed from plant decay), toxic by-products can form. Chloroform, for example, causes cells to mutate and cholesterol to oxidize. Once used as an anesthetic, the FDA banned chloroform in 1976 when it was discovered to cause cancer. Another by-product, MX, is considered the 'single largest contributor' to the mutagen potential (the ability of a substance to cause genetic mutations) of our municipal water supply, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. MX has shown up in every chlorinated water source for which it has beed tested. Testing indicates that DCA, another mutated, alters cholesterol and possibly causes liver cancer in laboratory animals. The evidence is clear. The advice is simple: Stop Chlorinating your body! Make your shower and drinking water safe and toxin-free with pure water the way God intended! |
