I have said it a thousand times or more…literally, that our skin is the largest elimination organ AND the largest absorption organ.
Hence, we should be careful where we submerge ourselves and what we put ON ourselves.
Chlorine, an elemental poison that we have been duped into thinking is the only thing that can disinfect and keep things shiny and white, is NOT meant to be absorbed into our skin. Swimming in a conventional pool with chlorine every once and a while should not pose a problem,
but when you are swimming daily in chlorine certain ailments are bound to arise.
Dr. Mercola seems to agree:
