Chlorinated Water
...A BIG NO-NO!
Add an X2O sachet to all drinking water to remove chlorine!

"Do you give any thought to chlorine? You should! I make sure that my family, as well as my aging cat, drink only water cleaned and enhanced by Xooma's Xtreme X2O." -Vance Alford
If the water we consume contains chemicals like chlorine‚ lead or agricultural and industrial pollutants‚ then much of our liver‘s capacity is spent on filtering contaminants instead of processing fat into energy. Many recent studies have even shown a link between consuming chlorinated water and thyroid dysfunction, leading to weight gain.
Most of us have some vague, fuzzy idea that city water may not be the best for us and many have turned to bottled water to use for ourselves.
Maybe it’s because we really don’t understand the harm done by the multiple ingredients found in all municipal water supplies throughout the U.S.A.
Water is a God-given crucial nutrient for the body. But we have been hoodwinked into accepting a product that is of progressively more inferior composition. It is well known that the average city water today contains over 500 chemicals that do not belong in it. Part of this is due to the fact that most delivery systems in the U.S. include cement, asbestos pipes, cast iron, PVC (porous to certain solvents, herbicides and pesticides) and that lead, cadmium and other toxic metals leach out of valves and couplings of pipes between a water treatment plant and a faucet in the home.
To make matters worse, we INTENTIONALLY add chlorine! So what?, you may ask.
Chlorine is a halogen that damages enzymes. It does not belong in our bodies as part of our water needs.
For starters, chlorine potentiates magnesium deficiency, which can cause almost any symptom you can think of from high blood pressure, to chemical sensitivity or even sudden death. Furthermore it also decreases the absorption while increasing the excretion of calcium and phosphorus. The increased loss of calcium into the urine, promotes osteoporosis.
It is known that it not only contributes to hypertension, but also cancers of the pancreas, colon, bladder and has been linked to heart attacks, diabetes, kidney stones and much more.
All these years we’ve been putting people on low sodium diets for control of high blood pressure. But it turns out the sodium is not the problem as much as the chloride.
A common mistake is to overlook the fact that bathing in it can have the same effect! Because of dermal absorption, anything on the skin is like drinking it.
In some cities of the U.S., the chlorine level is so high, that taking 3 showers a day puts you over the government standard for exposure.
Have you thought about your pet and chlorine? I make sure that my family, as well as my aging cat, only drink water enhanced with Xooma Xtreme X2O.
