While most health approaches seek to improve organ function and glutathione

values, the paper " Notification Levels for Chemicals in Drinking Water " cites

weight loss, reduced organ weight and decreased glutathione levels as the

outcome of dietary sodium chlorate.

" Several recent studies have reported adverse effects (significant organ and

body weight reductions, hematological effects, changes in pituitary and thyroid

glands) in rats exposed via drinking water to sodium and/or potassium chlorate

at doses similar to, but slightly lower than, those used in the Barrett (1987)

study. "

" ...Anemia, especially in female rats, which exhibited lower blood cell counts,

hematocrit and hemoglobin levels than controls. In most cases, these parameters

were statistically significantly lower than mean control values. "

A dose has been arrived at, for the purpose of putting it in drinking water.

" This conclusion is supported by the human studies of Lubbers and coworkers, who

found no effects in adult male humans with subchronic chlorate doses of 2.5

mg/day. "

How much chlorate do you take?

all good,
