Re: Maybe OT. Detoxing from chlorine

[Guest guest]

I don't have a specific thing to say on detoxing from chlorine, but I swim a

lot, three to four times a week. I want to point out that learning to swim and

swimming can completely exhaust you without being related to chlorine. It can

be extremely demanding on your body. I have, many times come home exhausted

after swimming in lakes. Before swimming in a pool especially, I do comb

coconut oil through my hair to prevent damage. It may be that putting some on

your body before swimming may prevent your skin from absorbing so much chlorine.

Just a guess on my part, I know it works on my hair. After, I always take a

long shower staring with nice warm water and turning the water cooler as i

rinse the soap off. I use Dr. Bronners for soap, followed by using coconut oil

as a full body moisturizer. I also drink plenty of water after my swim.

I hope that helps.

Keep on with the swimming, it will provide life long rewards!

I have recently started swimming again after a long hiatus due to

hating chlorine. My friend shared her post swimming routine

which made sense to me. She has her kids take a bath in epsom salts

after swimming in pools. Unsure but it seems to me that this would

help the body's cells let go of some of the chlorine. I also take

iodoral daily, when I remember. The coconut oil in hair is also good.

A chiropractor once gave me taurine to counteract chlorine when I swam. I

wasnn't able to discern whether it helped or not. It was expensive because I

bought the supplement directly from the chiropractor. I guess I could do more

research on it.

The problem is that like most public pools, it's chlorinated. The kids are

really getting the hang of swimming, but we are all so worn out after our weekly

swim.

I swim at the Uptown YWCA which is cleaned primarily via salt...if anyone

ever wants to join me I have many guest passes to share.

I plugged in taurine and chlorine into Google. Here are a couple of easier to

read results. You might find the Facebook link most interesting.

Thank you all for the suggestions!

We will utilize them right away.

I have discovered that using oil after a swim seems to get the chlorine out

of the skin.

When I was in college I taught swimming lessons, so I was in the water a

lot, and my skin always smelled of chlorine for the rest of the day.

Several years ago, I started to rub a generous amount of body oil into my

skin when I finished showering after a swim (but before drying off) and I

do not have any lingering chlorine smell on my skin.

That was very helpful - My Mom has a hot tub and she uses chlorine in it

.... I am going to pass this info along because she loves using it and I

worry about the chlorine - I am just the worry wart daughter but this is

easy enough for her to do - taurine and a shower after - which she usually

does anyway - good to mitigate some of the chlorine.

I would just like to put in a word of caution about using taurine w/o the

advice of a natural health practitioner or clinical testing. There are a

lot of folks who would not benefit from straight taurine supplementation.

It might depend on their sulfur metabolism a well as other factors.

Making dinner and cannot take the time to provide references right now. I

follow Dr. Amy Yasko's work on these matters though.

Cheers,

Josie
