In the August 2004 newsletter we addressed the dangers of chlorine-that is, the damaging effects of breathing the released chlorine gas during a hot shower. But I did not mention fluorine, (a lethal gas, that when mixed with water becomes fluoride).

      Oh yes, we are told by the experts that fluoridated water and toothpastes containing fluoride are "perfectly safe". So why then do our toothpaste labels warn us not to swallow any? Fluoride is found in rat poison-is that "safe" for the rats? Or how about pesticides-are the insects "safe" coming in contact with it? Or what about its toxic effects on chemical workers? If you didn't already know it, fluoride is the key chemical used to enrich uranium! It is up to 50 times more toxic than the common cancer-producing air pollutant sulfur dioxide that environmentalist are do concerned about.

      Fluoride is a systemic poison. It diminishes the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, blocks enzyme activity, destroys bone growth, and poisons the bone marrow. As it settles into the lymph nodes, it cannot escape without a vigorous increase in circulation. Remember, physical activity is the only way the lymph nodes can pump away impurities. And the very best way to clean the lymph nodes (presuming safe water and a healthy diet too) is to use a rebounder every day.

      Do you remember my point of how chlorine gas is released during a hot shower? Again, when we breathe any poisonous gas, it is directly absorbed into the blood stream via the lungs. In one $500,000 study, scientists found that fluoride gas poisoned the lungs and the lymph nodes as well! Duh!...and they spent a half million dollars to find that out?

      When dissolved in water, both chlorine and fluorine bind with other metal ions and pollutants. This forms yet another group of toxic chemicals called tri-halo-methanes, or THMs. When you take that nice hot shower, you release these lethal chemicals as gases. This process is known as hydrolysis, meaning the chemical bonds have been broken or released by the water. Then as you breathe these gases, these poisons are free to form new bonds in your blood and lymph nodes.

      What should you do? Either get a good shower filter or a good lawyer to prepare your will. Which do you think is less expensive?

P.S. In our August newsletter, I harshly criticized the poison producers and powers-that-be. Shortly thereafter, our web site crashed. And, despite contractual guarantees to the contrary, our hosting company claimed they had no backup of our data. The following two weeks, we lost communication with you all while having to rebuild our website from scratch. Odd timing, wouldn't you say? Hmmm . . . I wonder if our web host was "leaned on" by an offended party! Apparently Goliath doesn't like slingshots!
