Did you know that unless you are drinking the right kind of water you are wasting your money on organic foods, health supplements, vitamins, fresh fruits and vegetables.  As a matter of fact if you are drinking the wrong kind of water, you are actually turning substances within the foods, beverages and herbal remedies you are ingesting into toxins that are the number one cause of cancer in America today.  According to the U.S. Council on Environmental Quality, "Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than those whose water does not contain chlorine."

As bizarre as it seems, cancer fighting nutrients become deadly when combined with chlorinated tap water. It has been discovered that essential anti-disease phytochemicals and nutrients found in foods such as soy, fruits, vegetables, tea, vitamins and many other health products are transformed into deadly cancer causing toxins when combined with chlorinated tap water.

The deadly cancer causing agents that are produced are extremely toxic in infinitesimal amounts, so small and obscure that they are extremely difficult to detect. Very little chlorine is required. When the concentrations of phytochemicals are high, such as in health supplements or even fruits and vegetables coming from more fertile soil, the deadly combination with chlorination intensifies.

In 1997, scientists in Finland determined that MX, an unknown mutagen was 170 times more deadly than other known toxic byproducts of chlorination, and was shown in laboratory studies to damage the thyroid gland as well as to cause cancerous tumors. Chlorine also blocks iodine which is produced by the thyroid gland.  Rather than feeding the body’s endocrine glands as nature intended, the hormone-like nutrients found in food are altered by chlorine and turned into mutagens that do permanent damage to the glands. Another study done at the Harvard Medical School found that women with breast cancer had a 50-60% higher level of chlorine byproducts in their breast tissue than women without breast cancer.

Gordy Jordahl, a noted water physiologist states, "When showering in warm chlorinated water for ten minutes, you absorb chloroform, which penetrates all seven layers of the skin, destroys proteins and then enters the blood stream six times faster than when drinking chlorinated water." Soaking in a hot tub or swimming in a chlorinated pool causes similar effects. Dr. Robert Carlson, a highly regarded University of Minnesota researcher, sums it up by claiming that chlorine is the greatest crippler and killer of modern times!  Yet in spite of hundreds of studies revealing the deadly effects of chlorine, our communities continue to mandate the use of chlorine as the primary means of treating water and many families continue to ingest, bath and cook in chlorinated water.  

If these facts have impacted you to make a positive choice to do something to protect yourself and your family, I would suggest a two pronged remedy to cleanse yourself of the chlorine in your system and to get the intended benefits from your food, nutritional supplements and herbal remedies. First of all, consider humic extracts (especially fulvic acids, preferably in a colloidial solution of minerals), which provide natural chelation properties. Chelation is the process by which fulvic acids actually bond with the toxins like a magnet to carry them out of your body. Fulvic acid detoxifies the liver and the digestive tract by attaching to toxic build-up, including heavy metals and chlorination byproducts, and then disarming, neutralizing, and removing these toxins as waste products. Fulvic acids also work as nature’s most powerful antioxidants, neutralizing dangerous free radicals and supplying hormone stimulating micronutrients.  

The second but most important remedy is to drink water as it was created by nature before our modern practices destroyed it and bound up it's life generating energies.  Water is a living substance contrary to what you may have been taught in school.  Consequently in it's natural uncontaminated state, it contains powerful subtle energies and minerals that can significantly contribute to strengthening your immune system, detoxifying your body and creating a level of vitality you may have never experienced before. Restructured water will also enhance and supercharge all the nutrients going into your body.  Unfortunately, our modern water filter technologies do more to destroy water rather than rejuvenate, re-energize and restructure water so that it can provide it's optimum benefits to animals, plants and humans.  For the optimal water, look for water technologies based on minerals and restructuring.
