&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;HIV/AID$&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; is the greatest fraud of the past century, &lt;A href="http://www.virusmyth.com"&gt;www.virusmyth.com&lt;/A&gt; is a good place to start.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The man who announced to the world in 1983&amp;nbsp; that the cause of aids was found,&amp;nbsp; has been convicted of theft, fraud,and lies...but too late , 22 billion has already been pumped into the industry,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and 100s of thousands have died from AZT.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Kind Regards&lt;/P&gt;

That is because our skin absorbs everything very well. And we would have greater exposure soaking in all the chemicals for any length of time. Skin is our largest organ, who's purpose is to protect us. Skin absorbs so well that the drug companies have many type of dermal medications. (medicated patches). This also tells us that we need to take care in all that we put on our skin, like; cleaners, lotions ect.. If they are not natural, they have all types of chemicals you do not want absorbed into your body.&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.recipes-for-a-healthy-home.com"&gt;Recipes for a Healthy Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thedy&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=88532" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Drinking, Bathing or Swimming in Chlorinated Water May Increase Your Risk of Bladder Cancer</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/01/23/Drinking-Bathing-or-Swimming-in-Chlorinated-Water-May-Increase-Your-Risk-of-Bladder-Cancer.aspx#88529</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 Jan 2007 19:58:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:88529</guid><dc:creator>mmc88121</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;How many of use have swam in pools that were treated with chlorine?&amp;nbsp; And are outdoor pools safer than indoor pools.&amp;nbsp; I like the area we are in because we can actually swim in the river, as it is fairly clean.&amp;nbsp; Fish still live in it.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Three Chlorine molecules are chemically and synthetically attached, through a CAUSTIC industrial process, to one sugar (sucrose) molecule to form ARTIFICIAL,&amp;nbsp;TOXIC, and NOT FROM SUGAR,&amp;nbsp;sucralose (aka Splenda Brand sweetener)...read and buy Dr. Mercola's SWEET DECEPTION.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;IS CHLORINE LACED SPLENDA SAFE?&amp;nbsp; No.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Who should be exposing themselves to chlorine (the primary gas used in WWI trench warefare), or consume this chlorinated poison cocktail in a YELLOW sachet or box, falsely posing as just another sweetener?&amp;nbsp; Perhaps Osama bin Laden and his friends...it's a sure bet this diabetic targeted toxin will do what everyone else has failed at thus&amp;nbsp;far.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=88528" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Drinking, Bathing or Swimming in Chlorinated Water May Increase Your Risk of Bladder Cancer</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/01/23/Drinking-Bathing-or-Swimming-in-Chlorinated-Water-May-Increase-Your-Risk-of-Bladder-Cancer.aspx#88526</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 Jan 2007 15:59:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:88526</guid><dc:creator>Dr. Matthew J. Loop</dc:creator><description>The only thing that I would add is that 90 percent of the bacteria in and around your body are vitally beneficial and necessary for you. Chlorine, like an antibiotic, destroys the good bacteria outside your body and in your gut when it is taken-in through unfiltered drinking / showering water. Chlorine can also be credited for:

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Eating through lead pipes.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Corroding many types of metals&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Harming cells and DNA of every living organism it comes into contact with.

          &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Chlorine, like the article states above, also introduces to our water supply some highly carcinogenic chemicals called trihalomethanes (THM’s). Other recent studies have also show a strong link between chlorinated water supplies with elevated THM levels and cancers of the bladder, kidney, liver, pancreas, GI tract, urinary tract, colon, and brain. &lt;b&gt;Since chlorine eats though lead pipes, imagine what it's doing to your arteries! &lt;/b&gt;It's scaring them, of course, while contributing to heart disease.&lt;br&gt;
