I have had asthma since I was a kid. I wasn't able to go swimming for the longest time in our pool because the chlorine would cause me to have an instant asthma attack.I recently came across an alternative to getting chlorine or any other harsh chemicals out of your pool,spa,and home. The company is called ECOsmarte. They have a 100% chemical, chlorine free pool,spa,and home water purifiaction system. I strongly recommend to anyone who has asthma,skin allergies,any other problems with chlorine to check out this website.Go to http://www.SwimInBottledWater.com. I would have to say this is the greatest investment I have made for myself and family. After I researched this system I was so amazed with the results. A lot of people don't know the hazards of chlorine or how much chlorine it takes before it starts harming you. It doesn't take very much to harm you. If anyone has any questions please feel free to email me.

I am a Pool Man by trade.  I've been experiencing quite a bit of mood changes, eye irritation and swelling of my hands.  Does anybody know how I can stop this?  Does this come from too much chlorine and acid exposure?  What can I do to stop it?

I have some suggestions. First off, you should probably see a doctor first and get their recommendations. I am not a doctor and I don't usually like going to doctors offices. If I would you and I had to keep working with those toxic chemicals then I would increase by body's ability to process them. Your body may be reacting to them because they have either built up, overloaded, or done damage to your body and its organs. In my view all damage is repairable. My suggestion is threefold. First you need to detox your body. Second you need to rebuild/repair your body. Third, you need to ensure you body has the ability to flush out all future such toxins (i.e., you need to make sure your filtering organs (liver and kidney) are in top shape. All these steps can be conducted at once. For the detox I recommend a dry sauna and exercise (yoga or lifting weights). For the diet, I recommend transitioning to a 75% raw food diet. Cut out as many foods as you can that impair digestion and do damage to your body. Make sure the other 25% isn't horrible for you, such as fast food, fried chicken, pizza and the like. Consume enough fiber to make sure you are regular. Its best to get a lot of fiber in the morning. Try oats or have a salad in the morning. Drink enough pure water. I drink distilled water. If you do those things over a period of time (a year or more) you will likely see results.
