Don’t Drink Your Tap Water!!!

hey, this info is taken from a site called
‘Cancerfightingstrategies.com’.. please take a minute to read this.. scary stuff that has been PROVEN to be true.. why haven’t i heard this before?!?!

The Chlorinated Water and Cancer Connection
Pathogens in water have led to many diseases. But did you know that what’s put in your water to purify it may be causing your cancer (and heart disease)?
The French, with their lower cancer rates from consuming OPCs and resveratrol in red wine, have made red wine famous for its health benefits. There is another side to their lower cancer rates that most people don’t know…
The French do not drink chlorinated water. They ozonate their water to purify it.
Does this make a difference? Absolutely.
“We are quite convinced… that there is an association between cancer and chlorinated water.”
Medical College Of Wisconsin research team
We don’t use chlorine because it’s safe, we use it because it is cheap. We essentially still pour bleach in our water before we drink it. The long-term effects of chlorinated drinking water are disastrous.

According to the U.S. Council Of Environmental Quality, “Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine.”

It may cause much heart disease too. Dr. Joseph Price wrote a highly controversial book in the late sixties titled Coronaries/Cholesterol/Chlorine, and concluded that nothing can negate the incontrovertible fact, that the basic cause of arteriosclerosis, heart attacks and stroke, is chlorine.
Dr. Price later headed up a study using chickens as test subjects, where two groups of several hundred birds were observed throughout their span to maturity.
One group was given water with chlorine and the other without. The group raised with chlorine, when autopsied, showed some level of heart or circulatory disease in every specimen, the group without had no incidence of disease. The group without chlorine grew faster, larger and displayed vigorous health.
This study was well received in the poultry industry, and is still used as a reference today. As a result, most large poultry producers use dechlorinated water.
When chlorine is added to our water, it combines with other natural compounds to form Trihalomethanes (chlorination byproducts), or THMs. These chlorine byproducts trigger the production of free radicals in the body, causing cell damage, and are highly carcinogenic.
“Although concentrations of these carcinogens (THMs) are low, it is precisely these low levels that cancer scientists believe are responsible for the majority of human cancers in the United States”. The Environmental Defense Fund
Dr. Robert Carlson, a highly respected University of Minnesota researcher, sums it up by claiming, “Chlorine is the greatest crippler and killer of modern times!”
Breast cancer, which now affects one in every eight women in North America, has recently been linked to the accumulation of chlorine compounds in the breast tissue. A study carried out in Hartford Connecticut, the first of it’s kind in North America, found that:

“Women with breast cancer have 50% to 60% higher levels of organochlorines (chlorination byproducts) in their breast tissue than women without breast cancer.”

It is not just drinking chlorinated water that is the problem.
Up to two thirds of our exposure to chlorine is due to inhalation of steam and skin absorption while showering. A warm shower opens up the pores of the skin and allows for accelerated absorption of chlorine and other chemicals in water.
The steam we inhale while showering can contain up to 50 times the level of chemicals than tap water due to the fact that chlorine and most other contaminants vaporize much faster and at a lower temperature than water. Inhalation is a much more harmful means of exposure since the chlorine gas (chloroform) we inhale goes directly into our blood stream.
“Showering is suspected as the primary cause of elevated levels of chloroform in nearly every home because of chlorine in the water.”
Dr Lance Wallace, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
If you take showers using chlorinated water and are dealing with cancer, clearly installing a shower filter to dechlorinate your shower water makes good sense.

I have head this before. They do give this information to people with compromised immune systems. They consider us to be more ‘at risk’ and we get many more warnings.

It’s pretty scary that the government can make a decision to keep this kind of information from the general public because, ‘it might cause mass hysteria or panic’. So it’s OK for us all to get cancer so long as we aren’t panicked.

Sigh.

I don’t know…I tried checking it on hoaxbusters and couldn’t find anything. For example, does the French population in comparison really that much lower when it comes to Cancer? And how do those numbers compare to the rest of the world and in countries that do have chlorinated water?

Not really disputing the claim, but want to get more info first.

That part I’m not sure about – the French population – but I am sure that the chlorine in the water is harmful. I was warned when I was really sick with mono that I should boil my water. I also had a shower filter at the time – thought it was expensive to replace so I no longer have it.

what i think might be happening here is.. think about the millions and millions of dollars that pharmecudical companies make off of cancer fighting drugs.. think of the millions of dollars hospitals and docotors and cancer ‘research’ companies are making! they don’t want to cure cancer, they don’t even want us not to get cancer.. all they want is to go on feeding us meds and making billions by ‘treating’ our cancer… its always about the damn money!

if i’m right, may God have mercy on the souls of those who put money infront of peoples health and even their lives…

Damn hamster rolled over my mouse and deleted my original response to this.

Let me try again:

This might explain a condition I’m currently dealing with in regards to this topic. If I put 2 and 2 together, it makes sense. I drink a lot of tap water, and always have.

I’m sure there’s a lot of truth, but again, I’d want to see some other concrete science behind this. Perhaps there are other variables that have not been discussed int his article. Remember, correlation between two things does not mean that it’s the absolute truth.

Horselover, sorry to hear that you’re having health problems. That must be very difficult.

I’m fighting through them, but this finding could explain things for me. But I could be wrong. It’s been known to happen.

horselover… and everyone else interested, please read the book, “Natural Cures ‘THEY’ don’t want u to know about by kevin trudeau. it is insane what the health professionals aren’t telling us!!! i loved the book, and followed his suggestions… my allergies are GONE, my asthma is about 50% better and i have NOT BEEN SICK IN OVER 8 MONTHS! i mean no cough, cold, sniffle, or flu… i use to get sick all the time… now, NOTHING! been around sick people, kissed my sick fiance… nothing!
it takes a big change.. eating organic foods and meats, going to a chiropractor, exerciseng a little more, and drinking LOTS of distilled water.. but it is worth it!!
the truth cannot be suppressed forever!
as Simon47 says, namaste!

going to a chiropractor helped too eh? Interesting….

I also heard about that book, but haven’t tracked it down. I really should, and soon.

I know that where traditional medicine fails, there are lots of other treatments and cures. I find it overwhelming to explore them though.

I remember my chiropractor explaining to me how it helps so much more than just your back … because all the fluid systems in your body are out of what if your spine is out of whack … so you can’t get toxins drained, and all that stuff. That’s my technical paraphrasing, of course.

At any rate, the chiropractor is pricey, and no longer covered by BC med as it was when I was a teen.

We don’t use chlorine because it’s safe, we use it because it is cheap. We essentially still pour bleach in our water before we drink it. The long-term effects of chlorinated drinking water are disastrous.

This is outrageous! I have often heard about the dangers of chlorinated water and have heard about the benifits of the shower filter especially if you put essential oils in the filter. I really would like to get something like this.

I have been told by a dental hygenist that you should never make baby formula with tap water.. this is because of the chlorine in the water.

think about this aalaia, if you put fish in a swimming pool, they would die! what does that tell u about chlorine? of course we get a tiny bit in our drinking water but over the years….

your ‘paraphrasing’ is right Queen! go to naturalcures.com to find the book!
