Showering is toxic ☣️

Same! I think it is lack of vocal tone?

So much is said not in the words but the emphasis cadence etc .... the old no sarcasm on the internet problem.

Lol I knew ya was joking though -- now that I think about it I woulda been safe with the laughy face. If you meant that straightfaced, than im laughing at you -- lol missed that it worked both ways
 
It is a bit bizarre that we all eat, drink and consume things we KNOW are harmful yet life is about quality, not quantity. So fixating on something of negligable risk just seems odd to me.

I am led to believe that in some parts of the USA there is a significant level of bromide salts in drinking water. Now unless you consume about 500 gallons, you won't reach the psychoactive range of bromide salts (19th century sedatives whose side effects are termed 'bromism') BUT UV radiation can convert the -1 Br ion into the more toxic +5 bromate ions and that black plastic 'shade balls' are added to resoviors to prevent this. It looks a bit odd but it's quite an inventive solution.

I've always loved North Americans because it really does seem like there is a genetic-trait that gives that total 'can do' spirit. Sadly, if you are good at digging holes, you are rewarded with a bigger shovel.

So there are so many things going on that I sincerely doubt that bathing in chlorinated water is statisitically going to shorten your life.

But I do accept that OCD is a real and dibilitating condition and for such people I would simply suggest putting an activated carbon filter in the water mains leading to your homes. Activated charcoal is quite amazing stuff. How it works is quite interesting and it's so versatile.
 
aren t Chlorinated and Fluoride reactive element s. Hint. The water her off course not free of them we get a good dose fro BASF and the rest that dump it upstream. But its not added, Fluor not since ~75/ 6 ? Chlorination is also replaced. Remember that when real thirsty taking a sip and smelling the Chloor from the brushing water. And dont discard the pipes it runs through. On this 3 world isle they made with Asbestos. The pipes already past their end date or about.

Due to reaction with the passing water especially the halogens. The fibers get in the water. When showering these get in contact with you also via drinking. Supposedly the water in Nl. is pretty good, its water but not tasty. Like Evian or a stream on a mountain. Water also changes now and then. The water at my Granny used to be way better, after showering hair was soft skin felt also better.

Reason was that they had a ..% of dune filtered water. They put it in on top and it comes out 'revitalized'. Which is also btw a good cheap way to filter water. Sand.

Filtration seems inevitable. A machine that makes water form the atmosphere sounded good to. Forgot the name pretty cool apparatus.
 
Found some on the filtration techniques. Which i am very curious about as way back when these were seen in about every 1 in 10 houses. Veggie and Complot theory types. While a friend of mine that s very analytical said simply put stated it the demineralized it. And after filtering added Japanese Sea water extracted minerals in the ratio as meant by nature. [before Fukushima !! wonder what they use now! Hypochondric OCD like people imo like 4DQSAR mentioned. It did make the water taste way better after then before = direct from out of the tap. Some even are able to fiter Fluor acc. to the paper.

Being no expert and not filtering my water, the bad effects of Chlorine and Fluor are the reaction products. Which includes corroding the material of the pipe. Which could be Asbest like over here. Or via PVC -> C stands for Fluor to poly Viny kind. Also replaced with a safer alternative as far my knowledge goes.

"dispenser that draws moisture from the ambient air, filters it, mineralizes it and converts it into perfectly drinkable, alkaline water (pH 9.2+). According to the makers, the device can generate up to 10 liters of water per day. That's enough to hydrate your whole family, or to give your goldfish a very luxurious life." Happy fish :sneaky: happy you.

That technique supposedly had very good results a Cannabis grower once noticed. That guy, Soma American/ Amsterdammer had one. There is a video but never was able to re-find it. [in one of his grow tips vids] Bought to have clean drinking water but when sprayed on the leaves of his plants it seemed to strengthen them. So reducing or even eliminating bug plagues. This guy SOMA

When I was going down the home screen and saw this I first thought it said showering in tonic. What idiot would shower in tonic water, that would probably dry the f out of your skin and would start to burn.
 
A warm bath with a good body wash and exfoliator brush and rinse off under really cold shower is where it's at. I feel soft as foreskin. 👍

I meant soap in general lol

Activated charcoal is actually good --- I gotta get the one that rubs on green so im not in blackface though -- im the incredible hulk! lol -- but that was more an after soap thing.

I have heard my ma reccomend witch hazel instead of soap on my face half the days but im not totally sold

Yeah, just use normal soap. Antibacterial soap (soap with specific biocides like chlorhexidine) is kind of a scam, because the detergent properties of the soap are plenty antibacterial.
