Yes, that's true....and here's the reason.

The chlorination of water supplies began early in the late 1890s as a response

to cholera and typhoid epidemics which were killing many people.It worked; people stopped dying of cholera and typhoid. Instead they began developing arteriosclerosis, heart disease and other chronic degenerative diseases. Cholesterol-bearing foods took the rap, even though people had been eating them for centuries without these problems.

 

Joseph Price, M. D, wrote a fascinating yet largely ignored book in the late 1960’s, entitled "Coronaries, Cholesterol, Chlorine" Dr Price believes chlorine is the primary and essential cause of atherosclerosis. "Nothing can negate the incontrovertible fact the basic cause of atherosclerosis and resulting entities, such as heart attacks and most common forms of stokes is chlorine. The chlorine contained in processed drinking water."

This conclusion is based on experiments using chlorine in the drinking water of chickens. The results: 95% of the chickens given chlorine added to distilled water developed atherosclerosis within a few months.

 

Atherosclerosis, heart attacks and the resulting problems of hardening of the arteries and plaque formation is really the last step in a series of biochemical malfunctions. Price points out it takes ten to twenty years before symptoms in humans become evident In many ways, this is reminiscent of cancer which can take twenty to thirty years to develop.

 

Whenever you ingest chlorinated water the chlorine reacts to both the calcium and the cholesterol in your blood, when cholesterol is affected mechanisms are triggered to cause cells, genes, proteins and enzyme to change and begins to accelerate the disease causing process. Cholesterol is a lipid (fatty) substance present in all animal cells and essential to life; it's a precursor for many common bio chemical compounds. But when excess chlorine has been absorbed from drinking chlorinated water, it reacts 'with some of the cholesterol in the blood, forming the yellowish fatty deposits that accumulate along artery walls, narrowing and hardening them, and often causing ruptures.

 

The fact that the buildup is mostly cholesterol has led to the common assumption that the amount of cholesterol consumed is what determines susceptibility to heart disease. But while reducing cholesterol intake can tower risk somewhat, the theory that cholesterol is the sole cause of heart attacks has serious flaws.

 

It ignores the fact that heart attacks were virtually unknown until this century, when chlorination of water began, and they remain quite rare in places such as China as long as the practice is not adopted. It also does not explain how people such as Eskimos with massive cholesterol intakes remain free of heart disease.

 

"Chlorine is so dangerous" according to biologist/chemist Dr. Herbert Schwartz," that Is should be banned. Putting chlorine In the water is like starting a time bomb. Cancer heart trouble, premature senility, both mental and physical are conditions attributable to chlorine, treated water supplies. It is making us grow old before our time by producing symptoms of ageing such as hardening of the arteries"

If you want to see a good range of complaints any of these things cause you only have to look at a Homeopathic Materia Medica where all the symptoms are listed in full - as tested on humans - rats missed out this time
