Deadly Chlorine In Your Water

Is my water safe? This is a very important question, and one you need to ask yourself. After researching safety issues with household water, I've come to a frightening conclusion. The water found in 99% of homes supplied with city water is too dangerous for drinking or bathing. I found some interesting quotes from our friends over at Holistic Health Tools. Here's what some leading authorities on the subject had to say:

"Drinking tap water that is chlorinated is hazardous if not deadly to your health."
HEALTHY WATER FOR LONGER LIFE - DR. MARTIN FOX

"The drinking of chlorinated water has finally been officially linked to an increased incidence of colon cancer. An epidemiologist at Oak Ridge Associated Universities completed a study of colon cancer victims and non-cancer patients and concluded that the drinking of chlorinated water for 15 years or more was conducive to a high rate of colon cancer." Health Freedom News, January/February 1987

"Known carcinogens are found in drinking water as a direct consequence of the practice of chlorination" MUNICIPAL ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH LAB - FRANCIS T. MAYO, DIRECTOR

"Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine." US COUNCIL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

"Although concentrations of these carcinogens are low...it is precisely these low levels which cancer scientists believe are responsible for the majority of human cancers in the United States." REPORT BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND

"The cause of atherosclerosis and resulting heart attacks and strokes is none other than the ubiquitous chlorine in our drinking water." CORONARIES/CHOLESTEROL/CHLORINE - DR. JM PRICE

Chlorine gas was used despicably during WWI. When the war was over, the use of chlorine was diverted to poisoning the germs in our drinking water. All water supplies throughout the country were chlorinated. The combination of chlorine and animal fats results in atherosclerosis, heart attacks and death."
WATER CAN UNDERMINE YOUR HEALTH - DR. N.W. WALKER, D.S.

After reading these quotes, I'm certain you are concerned. Fortunately, there are several solutions to help clean up your water supply. First, you can go out and buy what's called a whole house water filter. Basically, this filter is installed on the main water line coming in the home and therefore it filters the chlorine out of the entire water supply. This is best option, but pricey. These units can run $1000 or more. And if you live in an apartment complex, this probably isn't an option (unless you can convince the landlord to buy a unit for the entire building!). A second solution, which I recommend if your budget is limited or if you rent, is to purchase and install individual filters on your faucet and in the shower(s). This is what I've done in my home. These can run anywhere from $20-$100 depending on the quality. When purchasing, be certain to note the filter lifespan as you will need to buy replacement filters.

In my opinion, our state and federal government needs to develop a method of filtering toxic chlorine out of the water supply. Millions of people are being exposed to cancer causing carcinogens everyday, and most don't even know it! Many just assume that their water is fine and they drink and bathe without suspecting a thing. Ultimately, until our government steps up addresses this problem, we’ll need to fend for ourselves. Water is the most basic element of life, and it's being poisoned! For the sake of protecting you and your family, get water filters installed right away.
