Chlorine in Shower Water
If you get your water from the city and are not filtering it in any way, then it's very likely that there is chlorine in your shower water. After chlorine is added to the water at the treatment plant, it's not removed – the fact that the chlorine stays active means that it continues to disinfect the water as it travels through pipes that could have bacteria or other germs in them. Once that water gets to your home, however, it's best to get rid of the chlorine.
Why is chlorine in shower water a concern? Because this chemical can be inhaled and absorbed through your skin. When you shower in hot water, you inhale the steam – water vapor that contains chlorine, disinfection byproducts like trihalomethanes, and many other water pollutants. Your digestive system is designed to handle possible toxins in a way that your lungs aren't, which means that even low level exposure to these chemicals through inhalation may have a much more significant effect than drinking them in water. Studies suggest that several types of trihalomethanes may cause cancer, and there are indications that cancer rates are higher for people who drink (and bathe in) chlorinated water.
The people who 'suggest that several types of trihalomethanes may cause cancer' have also reaped huge rewards by inventing water treatment methods to remove trihalomethanes. Chlorine has been added to US water systems since the early 1900s resulting in a steady decline in water born diseases which caused many deaths. To reduce trihalomethanes, some water companies have had to utilize Chloramines (a blend of ammonia and chlorine) as the disinfectant. The breakdown of Chloramines produces nitrates in the water which reduces the uptake of O2 in the blood. Babies who drink water with nitrates will get 'blue baby syndrome', meaning they turn blue due to a lack of O2.
There is NO EVIDENCE to support the assertion that trihalomethanes cause cancer. The way the EPA scared people into reducing THMs was to make the statement that THMs may cause miscarriages. That was enough to scare everyone into spending billions to reduce THMs. I've worked at a major public water agency for 39 years and WE have spent billions for a fake boogie man.
Great post, BDR. I don't blame people if they want to filter out chlorine in their homes, but as you correctly assert, removing it from water treatment would be a disaster.
I'd encourage people to be far more focused on getting the fluoride out of their water than the chlorine.
Thank you for your very excellent reply, especially with your background in water treatment. But they do make a good point that once the water goes through the pipes and you are ready to use it...there is no reason to have Chlorine or anything else in it. I don't doubt that people profit greatly from scare tactics, but on the other hand, I would rather not have any more chemicals than necessary in water that I drink or use. It appears to me that there have been people independent of the government that have studied this and come to the same conclusions about the toxicity of chlorine...the bottom line is who do you trust. I do realize the above was from a government site.
Do they always know the causes of the uptick in cancer in children...I doubt that, so who is to say it isn't from the water...or food...or atmosphere. I mean Dane Wigginton has done extensive research that is very compelling and yet he is pooh-poohed by many. I don't doubt for one second that the government uses many scenarios such as you describe to steal and profit from the government...I mean look at Obama and solar panels. It is a con game from start to finish and the only losers are those who can't find the truth in all the lies...
Without a little bit of chlorine as part of the treatment process, there would undoubtedly be a huge uptick in waterborne pathogens so I understand why it's there (to BigDaddy's point).
That being said, I would encourage you to look into getting a reverse osmosis system as I don't particularly want to drink chlorine (as well as my wife and son).
The bigger problem in our water is the amount of fluoride. There's far more data showing that to have negative health impacts than chlorine. Reverse osmosis will get a good portion of the fluoride out but still leave quite a bit behind. I use a special pitcher filter to get most of the remaining fluoride out of our actual drinking water.
I agree with your comment...I had a reverse osmosis under my sink that leaked or broke...can't remember and flooded some of the basement.... not good...
I actually use zero water filter at the sink now and I am pleased with that...we have pitchers in all the bathrooms...I have attached an article to show that it takes out fluoride. I tried other pitchers and they were not effective. I love that zero water gives you a tester so you can see the quality of the filtration process. The water really is quite good and I drink water as about 80% of my liquid throughout the day...so I am pleased...
I would say that once the water comes out if the pipes in the house, then you can filter it and drink it. There is still the chance that bacterial can be in the house plumbing and the chlorine in the water will disinfect house plumbing. I have no problem drinking tap water. I don’t like the smell of the chlorine, but as long as I smell it I have a high confidence it is safe to drink.
This is definitely one of the problematic metals in the vaccines...I see damage in my grandkids that are vaccinated and it breaks my heart...I am pretty sure this has been known...
Last year, after a couple of injections at the same time, my dog ATE MY COUCH. Poor thing had never done something like that before. No more vaxx for our doggos, either.
I already have 2 that I refused to vaccinated them. One is a German who is less than 1. The other I just rescued 6 months at the most.
I refused both. German I know for sure he has not been vax. The other not sure. Please take pups to dog park for 5 minutes and then leave (if they are young). They get immune that way just like chicks when you let them outside instead of all coop up.
That is exactly what you do...just FYI my kids did not have childhood vaxxes and they got whooping cough...it was rough...but they made it through...so you really always have to be prepared to deal with the worst possible scenario...it is harder for the people that do not do their own alternative medicine protocols...I totally self treat for everything but major car accidents/gunshot wounds...that type of thing...so I am prepared...and this is why knowledge of alternative medicine safety and protocols is so, so, so important...I get on a bandwagon with that...
Please also be cognizant of mercury in dental fillings...I had mine removed and only used composite on my kids. There are many online sites...in fact...I feel I need to post some information on this risk...I am glad that you are doing this for your child...are you doing it on your own or going to a doctor? If on your own perhaps you can share with GAW your protocol...there are a lot of people in your boat...especially as it concerns childhood vaccines...
No...I can't say that I do...functional doctors are really who we all need to be going to...what city/state are you in...or at least where is this doctor, if you don't mind my asking. I just have a regular doctor, but he is Indian and allows me absolute leeway on treatments and we have known each other long enough that we have a mutual understanding. He reads a lot of material from Life Extension and is knowledgeable about alternative things to a degree. He is not a dictator and I do appreciate that.
Sadly, he promoted the vaxes...but I didn't do it...I just do whatever I want with his blessing pretty much...
Friends of mine had a large rain water system for their home. It was newly built, 2500 sq ft and in Texas of all places but they never ran out of water. It was the best freaking water I have ever tasted. They also used a reverse osmosis system with it. If I could convince my husband I would go this route!
Now go check out bars of soap that have titanium oxide in them.
Well, rubbing on your skin vs injecting into your bloodstream is not quite equivalent.
Nor is dying from being clean.
And then check out about absorbing chlorine from your hot shower...

Absolutely agree, Fluoride is bad stuff for the body.

There’s also the industrial by product poison fluoride that’s in treated water.
This is definitely one of the problematic metals in the vaccines...I see damage in my grandkids that are vaccinated and it breaks my heart...I am pretty sure this has been known...
I stopped even the dogs from getting the vaccines.
Smart...I have indoor cats that have never been vaccinated...that's why I keep them indoors...saves on vet $ also...
I was stupid for long time until my beloved dog died. Then after that, research and found info.
If I have known before, my beloved first dog would still be here, I believe! Live and learn.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Last year, after a couple of injections at the same time, my dog ATE MY COUCH. Poor thing had never done something like that before. No more vaxx for our doggos, either.
I think I have heard all vaccines now contain mRna. I will not give any vaccines to any of us (including dogs or animals)
Do you feel the same way about the rabies shot? I have a couple four-legged friends that would like to know.
I already have 2 that I refused to vaccinated them. One is a German who is less than 1. The other I just rescued 6 months at the most.
I refused both. German I know for sure he has not been vax. The other not sure. Please take pups to dog park for 5 minutes and then leave (if they are young). They get immune that way just like chicks when you let them outside instead of all coop up.
Look into homeopathic
That is exactly what you do...just FYI my kids did not have childhood vaxxes and they got whooping cough...it was rough...but they made it through...so you really always have to be prepared to deal with the worst possible scenario...it is harder for the people that do not do their own alternative medicine protocols...I totally self treat for everything but major car accidents/gunshot wounds...that type of thing...so I am prepared...and this is why knowledge of alternative medicine safety and protocols is so, so, so important...I get on a bandwagon with that...
Look into homeopathic. Powerful medsthere.
I work with doctors who took her child to party where the children have small pox. Then after the party, everyone immune without the vaccines.
Taking a kid through chelation protocol now to remove aluminum.
Please also be cognizant of mercury in dental fillings...I had mine removed and only used composite on my kids. There are many online sites...in fact...I feel I need to post some information on this risk...I am glad that you are doing this for your child...are you doing it on your own or going to a doctor? If on your own perhaps you can share with GAW your protocol...there are a lot of people in your boat...especially as it concerns childhood vaccines...
We have found a functional medicine doc who is walking us through it.
Do you know about the importance of Fiji water? It contains silica.
No...I can't say that I do...functional doctors are really who we all need to be going to...what city/state are you in...or at least where is this doctor, if you don't mind my asking. I just have a regular doctor, but he is Indian and allows me absolute leeway on treatments and we have known each other long enough that we have a mutual understanding. He reads a lot of material from Life Extension and is knowledgeable about alternative things to a degree. He is not a dictator and I do appreciate that. Sadly, he promoted the vaxes...but I didn't do it...I just do whatever I want with his blessing pretty much...
I have to work on that. I don't want to remove all my fillings yet. Damn.
Teeth scared me.
How do you measure the before an after result of the chelation procedures?
We sent hair off to be analyzed, and I assume we'll do the same at the end of four months.
Please report the results back after the process. If it works, there are people I know who would benefit from removing the aluminum, Mercury, etc.

Didn't they find aluminum in the brains of people with Alzheimer's?
Yes. One wonders if it is the aluminum in the twice-annual flu shots that they press the old folks to take.
