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.
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 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.
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.
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.

Absolutely agree, Fluoride is bad stuff for the body.

There’s also the industrial by product poison fluoride that’s in treated water.
I stopped even the dogs from getting the vaccines.
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.

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.

Look into homeopathic
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.
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.
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.
