For most people, the cosmetic advantages are most evident, but recent documentation of the surprising health advantages of showering in filtered water undoubtedly proves the necessity of a shower filter. It has been shown that our body takes in more chemicals during a ten-minute shower than from drinking a gallon of the same water. Dermal absorption and inhalation of chlorine and other chemicals while showering have now been linked to breast cancer, bladder cancer, asthma, and many other ailments. During a hot shower, the pores of our skin open and allow for an accelerated rate of absorption. We have long known that chemicals can be absorbed through the skin; a common example is the nicotine patch. Imagine the rate of chemical absorption that can take place in warm water, over the entire surface of your skin.
Of equal concern is the level of chemical exposure from inhalation. Almost all synthetic chemicals, including chlorine, vaporize at a much faster rate than water. The result is that the steam contains a much higher concentration of the chemicals found in water, often 10 to 30 times higher. We also know that when chemicals are inhaled, they infiltrate our blood stream almost immediately and have a more intense effect.
The American Journal Of Public Health, in 1992, published the results of a ten-year study that showed how chlorine in our water caused significant increases in certain types of cancer. The study proved that up to 2/3 of our harmful exposure comes from inhalation of steam while showering. The U.S. EPA recently released a report saying, "Virtually every home in America has a detectable level of chloroform gas in the air due to chlorine and showering." The National Breast Cancer Fund has published many recent reports on the "Chlorine Connection", and has documented that the one common factor among women with breast cancer is that they all have 50 to 60% higher levels of chlorine byproducts in their breast tissue than women without breast cancer. Today in America, a woman dies of breast cancer every 13 minutes.
Childhood asthma has increased by over 300% in the last two decades, even though outdoor air quality has improved. Medical science now suspects a large part of this increase is due to a decline in indoor air quality; much of this decline can be traced to synthetic chemicals that vaporize and become airborne from showering water.
My initial involvement in the home water quality industry began over 15 years ago when we discovered that our six-month-old son's so called "chronic asthma" turned out to be nothing more than sensitivity to chlorine in our water. I have since produced and sold over 3 million shower filtration systems and heard literally hundreds of testimonials from people who have had similar experiences.
The health hazards from absorption and inhalation of chemicals while showering have been heavily documented. The cosmetic benefits of showering in filtered water are instantly noticeable. These factors combine to make a shower filter one of the most unique and beneficial household appliances currently available.
According to a recent Ralph Nader research report, in today's industrialized society, we use over 75,000 toxic chemicals, 2100 of which have already been found in our public water supplies, all of which can be absorbed and inhaled while showering. It is critically important to reduce our exposure to toxic chemicals to the greatest degree possible, and a shower filter is one of the most effective means of reducing exposure.
"The need for, and benefits of, showering in filtered water are equal to or greater than that of drinking filtered water."

Message from the Hollow Earth: Immortality
The Secret to Immortality is Simple
Greetings, it is Mikos, residing in the Hollow Earth, in the City of Catharia, way down below the Aegean Sea off Greece’s mainland. This is the focal point of our abode, and where you can physically find me, if you could physically go down to the depths of the Ocean and then continue about 800 miles deep. Here we reside in peace and comfort and abundance and great wealth of health and body and spirit. For living so deep inside the Earth has given us all we could ever dream of including our Immortality.
Living in peace is the secret to gaining Immortality, and we invite you to try it. You would enjoy it. No clamor, no wars, no hardships, just pure delight and joy in each moment of each day – and it lasts forever. How blessed we are to have discovered this secret, for this is the secret of life. It is so simple once discovered.
Just live in peace with one another and you have everything you could ever dream of, including your being with us. Yes, we can meet physically with you when there is peace on Earth’s surface, but not before. So strive to live peacefully with each other, and start with your biological family, and then spread your love out to your community and then to your nation and then to the whole Earth, and then assuredly we will magically appear before you, in our physical forms of radiance. Yes, our cells radiate our Light and it is very visible to the eyes. Once you are living in a peaceful state on the surface, you too will be radiating this Light from within your cells, and this light will encompass all around you and you will Light up the surface for all to witness.
And then there will form a great conclave of Beings from other dimensions and other star systems who will celebrate your climb into Light, and you will be formally accepted into the Confederation of Planets once again, for regaining your Light Status. What a moment in time! You will achieve this, this we know. But why take so long? Do it now. It can happen in the twinkling of an eye, since time does not exist. Just make up your minds that you intend to live in peace, and it shall be, and the whole Universe will support your intention. It is not a mystery…it is your intention. It is simple, isn’t it? It is only your governments who have purposely made it so complicated by devising wars to entangle and control you. For they know that in peaceful conditions you would rise in consciousness and find your Self, and merge with your Higher Self, thus gaining your Immortality. And this would put them out of business, and they would lose their hold on you and would have to leave the Earth plane enmasse. So let them leave!
You do this by being the peace you wish to create and spreading it out to all around you. Could it be more simple? As you rise in consciousness, you will find that most mysteries in life have simple solutions. Whatever you want to achieve, just ‘be’ that achievement and it will effortlessly come to you because you are already radiating that frequency of what you want to attain so it has to come to you once you have identified with it ‘as you’. It has nowhere else to go but to you – it’s vibration then matches yours. Simple? Yes!
So you have to become actresses and actors, don’t you? You have to play and live the part you want to create in your role on the screen of your life – and it is your life and you are the actors, so play your part well and your dreams will all come true. It is only up to you. No one can fill in for you to play your part on the screen of life, only you can.
So dream your life away…it is the quickest route to Immortality. We await you there. I am Mikos, good day.
And now Rosalia, your sister from Telos is here, bidding you a good day. I am encased inside the Earth, where all is cozy and all is warm. We don’t have the fluctuating weather factors here that you have on the surface, because we live in a state of Immortality, and in Immortality all is perfection. So this is the aim of humanity – to reach this state of Immortality where all problems become instantly solved – voila – nothing to ever complain about again. It is magic, pure and simple. So we invite you to peacefully gain your Immortality, because it is only through peace that it can be gained. We have proven this during our past 12,000 years of living in Telos.
