RESEARCH Most people do not realize that many toxic substances are colourless and odourless and are either put into the water supply or come from industrys, farms, businesses, homes and waste water. It is then mildly treated by the water board then travel through 200 year old pipes that also leach heavy metals plus all the built up sludge etc, before it reaches the pipes in your environment, that also leach substances, then it finally reaches our taps. Some of these substances make us very sick (cryptosporidium, e-coli bacteria, etc) while others (pesticides, heavy metals, herbicides, mercury, chlorine, fluoride, etc) build up in the body and brain and cause a multitude of physical and mental problems through time. When you have high quality fine filters like reverse osmosis, they stop these toxic substances from entering our bodies. Chlorine, a non-flammable, poisonous gas, is a major industrial chemical. Although classified as non-flammable, many combustibles will ignite in chlorine, creating toxic byproducts. Chlorine vapors, heavier than air, will remain close to the ground and expand rapidly when released, creating a very hazardous atmosphere. When you open the door of your dishwasher after washing, toxic volatile chlorine from dish detergent and tap water is released into the air. Cancer-causing chemicals like chlorine found in many household products are readily absorbed through the skin. Pregnant women in their first trimester who drink five or more glasses of chlorinated tap water a day may be at a much higher risk of miscarriage than women who drink non-chlorinated water. Chlorinated Water - Not Fit For Human Consumption Experts have concluded after examination of 10 previous studies of the cancer-causing problems of chlorinated water, "There is a clear pattern between consumption of chlorinated water and rectal and bladder cancer." It is projected that by the year 2015 the combined death rate from bladder, rectal and pancreatic cancer will exceed the lung cancer death rates due to carcinogens in water and food. "There was a higher incidence of cancer of the oesophagus, rectum, breast, and larynx and of Hodgkins Disease among those drinking chlorinated surface waters." "Conservative calculations indicate that inhalation exposures can be as significant as exposure from drinking the water, that is, one can be exposed to just as much by inhalation during a shower as by drinking 2 litres of water a day." “As chlorine is added to kill pathogenic micro-organisms, the highly reactive chlorine combines with fatty acids and carbon fragments to form a variety of toxic compounds, which comprise about 30% of the chlorination by-products. " Epidemiological studies began to suggest a link between ingestion of toxic chemicals in the water and elevated cancer mortality risks. "The cause of atherosclerosis and resulting heart attacks and strokes is none other than the ubiquitous chlorine in our drinking water." The combination of chlorine (when in drinking water) and animal fats results in atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and death." "In the vast majority of cases where germ-free water is required whether for public supply, or in the swimming pool, the process of disinfection will involve the use of chlorine in one form or another." "Chlorine is the greatest crippler and killer of modern times. While it prevented epidemics of one disease, ill was creating another. After the start of chlorinating our drinking water the present epidemic of heart trouble, cancer and senility began." "Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine." "Drinking tap water that is chlorinated is hazardous, if not deadly to your health."

Please watch this video – Even though its an American study, all the same things are present in Australia.
Below are just a few scientific facts gathered from many scientific sources. These thousands more. Go online and google some facts. It’s all out there. More Fluoridation Facts Scientifically advanced and health conscious countries such as Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and others, have totally rejected fluoridation. There has never been a scientific study in Australia or the world to prove the safety of fluoridation. No studies in Australia have proven that fluoridation is perfectly safe for all people. Fluoride is a poison that accumulates in your body and one-third of a teaspoonful of sodium fluoride is estimated to be a lethal dose. There has been no clinical research which proves fluoride stops dental caries, only clever and persistent propaganda. Young children should never use fluoridated toothpaste because they have no control over the amount swallowed. In fact many children eat the stuff because it is enticingly flavoured and coloured. Fluoridated toothpaste can contain up to 1500 p.p.m. of fluoride. There is enough in one tube to kill a child! Nature knows best - there is virtually no fluoride in mothers' milk. A bottle-fed baby on formula food reconstituted with fluoridated water, receives 700% above N.H. and M.R.C. and W.H.O. suggested maximum safe daily intake of fluoride for babies. Many world medical scientists consider the fluoride intake should be zero. The Tasmanian Royal Commission 1968 and the Victorian Inquiry 1980 estimated 10% of children in fluoridated populations will suffer dental fluorosis, ie mottled teeth. The latest research shows 48%. The British Medical Research Council and the American Medical Association and the NH and MRC state that dental fluorosis is the first sign of chronic fluoride poisoning. Why is this appalling medical condition tolerated? There were over 100 Statutory Declarations claiming harm from fluoridation, some with Doctors' Certificates, sent to the Victorian Inquiry. Not one person was contacted or examined by the Government Committee and no mention was made in the Report so that the Premier was able to announce that "no harm was reported". Manganese Facts Now Even A Shower Can Be Dangerous The Daily Telegraph, 04 Jul 05. Taking regular showers could pose a health risk and even result in permanent brain damage, it was claimed yesterday. US scientists believe that breathing in small amounts of manganese, found in Sydney 's water supply, dissolved in the water may harm the nervous system. The damage may occur even at levels of the naturally occurring metal normally considered safe, they say. Although manganese levels in public water supplies are monitored, regulators have not considered the long term effects of inhaling vaporised manganese while showering, they claim. "If our results are confirmed, they could have profound implications for the nation and the world," said Dr john Spangler, from Wake Forest university School of Medicine in Winston Salem, New Carolina. Dr Spangler's team calculated from animal studies the amount of manganese people would absorb by showering for 10 minutes a day. After 10 years of showering in manganese-comtaminated water, children would be exposed to levels of the metal three times higher than the doses needed to leave deposits in rats' brains, the team found. Adults with a longer history of showering could be exposed to doses 50 per cent higher. More information: PDF articles |
