"According to the US Council on Environmental Quality, the cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine. There is a higher incidence of cancer of the esophagus, rectum, breast, and larynx and a higher incidence of Hodgkin's disease among those drinking chlorinated water. • Chlorine has been strongly implicated as a major factor in the onset of atherosclerosis and its resulting heart attacks and strokes." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Bio-photons in city tap water and city water after structuring with a Hexahedron999 Left: chlorinated water, Kildare, Quebec. Right: Same city water after passing through a Hexadedron 999 filtering and restructuring unit. Figure 14.5 Two biophotons and single biophoton Left: Two biophotons showing hexagonal structures and light energy emanating from them; Right: Single, bright biophoton showing concentric hexagonal structures with a six-pointed star at the centre." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"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." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"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." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"There is a higher incidence of cancer of the esophagus, rectum, breast, and larynx and a higher incidence of Hodgkin's disease among those drinking chlorinated water. • Chlorine has been strongly implicated as a major factor in the onset of atherosclerosis and its resulting heart attacks and strokes. • By the same mechanisms that chlorine narrows blood vessels that feed the heart, it also narrows the blood vessels that feed the brain. Consequently, chlorine has been implicated as a major factor in the onset of senility." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"At Virginia Tech University a team of researchers in April 2005 reported that some toothpastes and soaps create a chloroform gas when the triclosan in these products reacts with chlorinated water. Chloroform is known to cause liver problems, depression, and cancer if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. (21) Even more troubling evidence has emerged about the health impacts of triclocarban, which is used in bar soaps, deodorants, toothpaste, and even baby toys. A study published in the science journal Endocrinology in late 2007 revealed that this chemical, too, is also a hormone disrupter." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"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. Drugged Drinking Water Pharmaceutical drugs prescribed at high rates such as antidepressants and antibiotics are now turning up in rivers and groundwater." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"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. Ignoring Good Bowel Management The colon is thought by many to be just a temporary holding area for wastes, but it is so much more." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"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." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"Additionally, people drinking chlorinated water over long periods of time have a 38% increase in the chance of contracting rectal cancer and a 21% increase in the risk of contracting bladder cancer.23 The dangers from inhaling chlorine can exceed those derived from drinking chlorinated water. The amount of chloroform (the most common trihalomethane in chlorinated water) inhaled or absorbed through the skin during a typical shower may be six times higher than that absorbed from drinking chlorinated water for one day." - Larry Trivieri, Jr., Alternative Medicine the Definitive Guide, Second Edition (Get the book.)

"And of course, drinking chlorinated water, or eating meats or dairy produced with antibiotics, totally defeats any program you're on. Enzymes = Life Anyone who has any understanding of health has got to be taking enzyme supplements with every single meal they eat. Unfortunately, most people think of enzymes (if they think of them at all) as necessary only if they have some kind of digestive problem. And, yes, it's true that people suffering from digestive problems, hiatal hernias, ulcers, and the like, have benefited greatly from using enzyme supplements." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"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." - Dr Bernard Jenson and Mark Anderson, Empty Harvest (Get the book.)

"Summary of Recommendations for Treating Atherosclerosis Diet: • Avoid chlorinated water, refined sugar and other refined carbohydrates, homogenized milk, margarine, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, fried foods, and caffeine. • Emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. • Nuts, seeds, non-fat dairy products, and oily fish may be consumed in moderation. • Restrict high-fat foods. Supplements: • Vitamin C, 1,000 to 2,000 mg, 2 to 3 times a day. • Vitamin E, 400 to 1,200 IU per day. • Magnesium, 300 to 500 mg per day." - Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and Alan R.

"Evidence also suggests that ingesting chlorinated water may increase the risk of heart disease23 and some types of cancer.24 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." - Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Natural Medicine, Optimal Wellness: The Patient's Guide to Health and Healing (Get the book.) "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." - Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Natural Medicine, Optimal Wellness: The Patient's Guide to Health and Healing (Get the book.)

"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." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Consumption of chlorinated water has been linked to a greater incidence of colon cancer. Coffee has been reported to have positive effects on reducing colon cancer risk. Drink milk. Studies show that drinking two 8-ounce glasses of milk daily may reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer by as much as 15 percent. Beta-carotene, calcium (1,200 milligrams daily), selenium, and vitamins C and E, and the long-term use of a multivitamin containing folic acid (above 400 micrograms daily) have been linked to a reduced risk of colon cancer." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"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." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.) "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." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"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. 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." - Dr Bernard Jenson and Mark Anderson, Empty Harvest (Get the book.)

"You cannot protect yourself against THMs, as they are absorbed through the skin if you swim in a chlorinated swimming pool or have a hot bath or shower with chlorinated water. A hot shower can raise the level of THMs in the blood ten times higher than drinking a quart of chlorinated water. While a large number of studies found an association between chlorinated water and secondary chlorination products with an increased risk of cancer, especially cancer of the bladder, I regard this only as the tip of the iceberg." - Walter Last, The Natural Way to Heal: 65 Ways to Create Superior Health (Get the book.)

"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." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.)

"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)." - Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.)

"Avoid fluoridated and chlorinated water. Even water from deeply driven wells may not be safe, since many aquifers (underground water sources), especially those located near or under farmland, are contaminated with toxic residue from farm runoff. Q Avoid direct sunlight. Wear a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors, and protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses (polarized) that block ultraviolet rays. Make sure the sunglasses are large enough to adequately protect your eyes. Q If you have cataracts, avoid antihistamines." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.) "Avoid household chemical products and cleaners, chlorinated water, mothballs, synthetic textiles, and damp and moldy places, such as basements. Q If you have chronic and /or unusually persistent Candida infections, consult your health care provider. This may be a sign of an underlying illness such as diabetes or immune system dysfunction, which makes for an environment more conducive to the growth of yeast. Considerations Q All persons on long-term antibiotics or chemotherapy are at high risk for severe cases of candidiasis." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"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." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"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." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.)

"Excessive consumption of alcohol and the drinking of fluoridated or chlorinated water can also disturb the balance of these needed bacteria. Radiation therapy and the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like motrin, advil, nuprin, rufin, medipren, etc. also injure these bacteria. The most serious damage occurs after taking a course of antibiotics. This kills nearly all the good bacteria. This enables the surviving bacteria, which are mostly bad, to multiply and become the predominant organism." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"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." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)
