"It is particularly prevalent and highly contagious in damp, warm places, such as locker rooms, swimming pools, showers, and gyms. Recommendations for treating ringworm include eating a well-balanced diet and reducing intake of foods that are high in sugar, which can support the overgrowth of fungus in the body. Enzyme thetapy is used to support the immune and digestive systems and reduce overgrowth of fungus." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Moteover, recent research indicates that chloramine exposure is endemic in heavily chlorinated swimming pools. Nitrogen-containing human body sweat and urine, which commonly contaminate pools when children are swimming, also combine with the chlorine to make chloramines. Chloramine exposure at swimming pools is associated with increased risk of childhood asthma.88 On top of all of this, a recent trend has emerged in deliberately mixing hypochlorite with othet agents to make homemade "chemical bombs." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.)

"Ensure that if it is necessary medication is kept at school,- find out where the school stores it, and ask that they take it on outings to swimming pools, sports grounds, etc., where it may most be needed! Finally, don't feel that your child will be unable to take part in sports because he or she is asthmatic. Many professional sportsmen and women are asthmatics." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Provide funding and other incentives for bicycle paths, recreation centers, swimming pools, parks, and sidewalks. ?Develop and provide guides for cities, zoning authorities, and urban planners on ways to modify residential neighborhoods, workplaces, and shopping centers to promote physical activity. Taxes ?Levy city, state, or federal taxes on soft drinks and other foods high in calories, fat, or sugar to fund campaigns to promote good nutrition and physical activity. ?" - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Tap water, swimming pools and hot tubs, bleach, household cleaners. Phenol. Perfumes and colognes, newspapers, glue, wood smoke. Ethanol. Car exhaust, perfume, household cleaners, wood smoke. Fluoride. Tap water, toothpaste, fluoride treatments. Benzyl alcohol. Solvents, perfume, artificial flavors. Glycerin. Makeup, soap, lotion, furniture polish. SUMMARY: FOOD REACTIONS Overcoming food reactions is of absolute, pivotal importance. It is often the single most significant element of the Healing Program. In many cases it's just as important as the element of eliminating toxicity." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Cousens, a vegan diet tends to cause the body to wash out chlorine, the natural chlorine found in plant foods and needed by the body, not the harmful form found in tap water and swimming pools. He says we can utilize the chlorine and sodium salts contained in Celtic sea salt and Himalayan salt. Even Celtic and Himalayan salts are composed primarily of toxic sodium chloride molecules." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Swimming pools are superb exercise settings for many people with arthritis. Choosing Easy-to-Use Products onsider these shopping suggestions from the Arthritis Foundation... •Avoid products that are difficult to grasp or require twisting to open and close. Example: Levers are better than knobs. •Seek out lightweight products, especially cookware, cooking utensils and cleaning tools. •Buy products, such as shoulder bags, that are shaped so that they can be carried close to the body, reducing pressure on arms, hands and back. •Choose products that have texture." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"Triggers and irritants can include a foreign body in the eye, such as a piece of grit, dirt, or dust, an allergy or hayfever, an intolerance to dairy products or other food, or chlorine in swimming pools. Antibiotic drops or ointment, or antihistamines if the conjunctivitis is an allergic reaction, are usually prescribed." - Marshall Editions, 1000 Cures for 200 Ailments: Integrated Alternative and Conventional Treatments for the Most Common Illnesses (Get the book.)

"Factors that can contribute to conjunctivitis include bacterial infection, virus, injury to the eye, allergies, and exposure to substances that are irritating to the eye, such as fumes, smoke, contact lens solutions, chlorine from swimming pools, chemicals, makeup, or any other foreign substance that enters the eye. Conjunctivitis is highly contagious if it is caused by a viral infection. NUTRIENTS SUPPLEMENT SUGGESTED DOSAGE COMMENTS Vitamin A 25,000 IU daily for Vitamin A, vitamin C, and zinc 1 month; then reduce to all help to promote immunity, 15,000 IU daily." - Phyllis A.

"Despite perennial funding problems, SEDAPAL's operations were humming along as normal, with huge undercover reservoirs, looking like Olympic swimming pools, channelling crystal-clear water to different parts of the city. But SEDAPAL has a problem. The inland Cordillera Central, on which the river Rimac depends for glacial runoff, is lower than the more extensively glaciated Cordillera Blanca, with even the highest peaks barely crossing 5,500 metres in altitude. The glaciers are small, without extensive snowfields to feed them." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.)

"The same system was also introduced at much smaller sites, even down to the level of neighborhood swimming pools. By the late 1940s, chlorine gas had also become a major industrial feedstock in plastics and other chemical manufactuting. Railroad tank cars laden with compressed gas crisscrossed most industrialized countries. The expanding list of potential exposure scenarios is reflected in the medical reports of chlorine gas poisoning that began to appear in the years during and following World War II." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.)

"There is chlorine in our drinking water, in our showers, in our swimming pools, and in the water used to irrigate our crops. It is highly recommended that you use a water purification system not only on your drinking water tap, but for the whole house, and if out to eat, avoid drinking restaurant tap water. Were chlorine and fluoride the only chemicals we had to worry about, that would be bad enough." - Craig Pepin-Donat, The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie (Get the book.)

"For example, we consider having a gun in the house far more dangerous to children than, say, a swimming pool, but in fact children die at the rate of 1 per 11,000 swimming pools, but only at the rate of 1 for more than a million guns. There is even a formula to express this emotional component of risk assessment: Risk Equals Hazard Plus Outrage (or dread). What it means is that people tend to exaggerate high-outrage risks like mad cow disease and terrorism, while tending to ignore low-outrage risks like kitchen infections, although these may in fact be far more dangerous." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.)

"Stay away from hot tubs, steam rooms and swimming pools. Swimming pools and hot tubs are filled with water that is loaded to excess with chlorine. Chlorine is a deadly poisonous chemical. People think swimming in a pool or relaxing in a hot tub is healthy. The exact opposite is true. It suppresses your immune system, dries your skin, and loads your body with high amounts of chlorine, scarring the arteries and leading to heart disease. The steam pouring into the steam room is from regular tap water that is loaded with toxic poisons and contaminants." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"Caffeine • Smoking or nicotine • Environmental Toxins • Excessive Drug Use (over-the-counter, legal or illegal) - especially antibiotics • Insufficient stomach acid - especially those with type "A" blood or the use of antacids • Chlorinated Water (in some water systems, and most commercial swimming pools) • Fluoride (found in some water systems and Prozac? #2 Remove the Primary Food Source Remember, when you are feeding yourself, you may also be feeding the Candida as well, thus it is important to avoid: S Sugar and Simple Carbohydrates (Candida's primary source of food)." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"The next six are harsh compounds variously reminiscent of swimming pools and rancid fat, and all endowed with a definite 'chemical' character - i.e. something that tells us to stay well away. Octanal is the first presentable member of the family and in dilution smells orange-like, though still slightly fatty. From then on it's smooth sailing all the way to the twelve-carbon dodecanal. These aldehydes are present in such common places as citrus peel, and were synthesized as far back as the 1850s." - Luca Turin, The Secret of Scent: Adventures in Perfume and the Science of Smell (Get the book.)

"And last of all is the exposure from swimming pools and hot tubs that use chlorine. We use Baquasil?in both our pool and hot tub in order to avoid chlorine, which is basically hydrogen peroxide and found in most pool supply stores. Most commercial pools and spas contain high levels of chlorine, which is normally evident from the obvious chlorine odor. Many women especially, tend to exercise in pools loaded with chlorine. They not only absorb it through their skin, but also by inhaling its vapors." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"For instance, there are often high levels of organochlorines in swimming pools. Once again, the chlorine in the swimming pool water combines with organic material in the water. These organochlorines can enter the body through the skin. We can also inhale them from fumes near the surface levels of swimming pools and hot tubs. And it is not uncommon to breathe in organochlorines every time we open our dishwasher at home!" - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.)

"Monsanto was aware that their industrial customers were mixing PCBs into coatings applied inside "potable water supply storage tanks," swimming pools,12 and grain silos. In the latter case, Monsanto knew that high levels of PCBs ended up in the milk of cows fed the grain.13 A Monsanto memo also acknowledged that "one million lbs/year" of PCBs were used in highway paints, and "through abrasion and leaching we can assume that nearly all of this ... winds up in the environment." - Jeffrey M. Smith, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (Get the book.)

"Chloramine exposure at swimming pools is associated with increased risk of childhood asthma.88 On top of all of this, a recent trend has emerged in deliberately mixing hypochlorite with othet agents to make homemade "chemical bombs." These seem to be used prominently in school pranks gone sour: in one October 2001 event at a high school in Rhode Island, twenty-three persons (five teachets and eighteen students) required hospital trearment for breathing symptoms.89 Better product labeling is important to protect against some of these problems, yet this alone is not likely to be sufficient." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.)

"Cover swimming pools. Keep children away from trucks that are spraying pesticides. Bathe pets after outside exposures or whenever foliage has been sprayed. Do not wear outside shoes in home. Remove outside lawn furniture and toys or wash them thoroughly if they have been sprayed. • There should be a hotline to your local health department to provide information and guidance about how to protect yourself and to report and record the incidence and type of medical problems that occur." - Doris J. Rapp, M.D., Our Toxic World: A Wake Up Call (Get the book.)

"We absorb them through our skin from cosmetics, toiletries, treated wood, sprayed plants, treated areas of public parks, golf courses, bath water, and swimming pools. We even inhale them in air contaminated with solvents, car fumes, industrial waste, and environmental pollutants. The problem is that our bodies were never designed to protect themselves against this form of chemical onslaught. As a result, our systems usually fail to process and remove most of these chemicals once they have entered our bodies, so their levels start building up inside us." - Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton, Toxic Overload: A Doctor's Plan for Combating the Illnesses Caused by Chemicals in Our Foods, Our Homes, and Our Medicine Cabinets (Get the book.)

"Uses Dowmax super magnets lasting at least 100 years to change the molecular structure of water, holds Minerals in suspension preventing their buildup (in pipes or filters) to eliminate sulfur, chlorine, and iron taste and odor; separates water molecules for less surface resistance, lessens water use with greater penetration into soil and greater uptake by plants in agriculture or landscaping; for commercial water system purifying and swimming pools; gives spot-free glassware in automatic dishwashers." - Joseph E. Mario, Anti-Aging Manual: The Encyclopedia of Natural Health (Get the book.)

"Outbreaks have been associated with day care centers, swimming pools, water parks and public water supplies. The drug is approved for children ages 1-11. Testing for use in older children and adults is ongoing. May be used for treatment of other disorders as determined by your doctor. DOSAGE & USAGE INFORMATION Time lapse before drug works: Starts working in a few hours, but takes 3 days for effective treatment.

Winter Griffith, M.D., Complete Guide to Prescription and Nonprescription Drugs 2005 (Get the book.)

"Silver is widely used for purifying the environment; Japanese use Sil ver five ways purifying air; used in aircraft and spacecraft to purify water; here on Earth for swimming pools (.04 to .2 ppm./40-200 gamma), apool contaminated with 7000 E. coli bacteria count wascleaned completely with Silverelectrodes in 3 hours. Silver sprayed on plants counters viral and fungal attacks, and in soil. Used as a food preservative, a Silver dollar in a pitcher of milk kept it fresh all day at room temperature. Wearing Silver metal is a calming stabilizer, similar to the effect ofblue/grey." - Joseph E. Mario, Anti-Aging Manual: The Encyclopedia of Natural Health (Get the book.)

"Steam rooms, hot tubs and swimming pools are places where you will absorb the highest levels of toxins. The paradox is we think of these particular areas as being the healthiest. The poisoned water supply is another significant factor relating to how toxins get into our body. By now it won't surprise you to learn how we are being misled by the news media and government agencies about the purity and safety of our water supply. Remember that chlorine and fluoride are the two main poisons that are in our water supply and are the reason our water is so unhealthy." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.) "Chlorinated swimming pools are something not found in nature. 36. Eliminate air fresheners. Ideally, don't spray anything in the air; don't use solid air fresheners or the plug-in variety. All you are doing is putting toxic chemicals in the air. It really is insane. In my bathrooms I do have a can of organic citrus oil, which can be purchased at most health food stores. Read the labels. Use 100-percent organic essential oils or air purification systems to eliminate offensive odors. Remember, if you can't eat it don't spray it in the air. 37. Eliminate fluorescent lighting." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.) "Reuters reports that air around indoor swimming pools is harmful to children's lung cells. Researchers believe that exposure to chlorine byproducts in air around indoor pools harm respiratory cells. • Reuters reported that mercury is being released from coal fired power plants and is one of the contributing causes of increase in autism and other health disorders. It is also believed that whether you live near a power plant or not you are still affected since mercury travels virtually around the globe. • It has been reported that the feed that is used in U.S." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"Therefore, most of the spent fuel rods of American reactors have been stockpiled at reactor sites all around the nation, in storage vessels that resemble swimming pools, where the material becomes steadily less radioactive as the more unstable isotopes decay and also generate less and less heat. This method of stockpiling onsite has always been considered a temporary stopgap, but has become routine pending the resolution of a national nuclear waste storage program." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.)
