thats fine. i have read of a strong smell of chlorine in posts, etc. i already have my favorite halogen and it purifies water and my body along with many other things, being essential for 87 enzymatic processes in the body and every hormone receptor in the body and in fact every cell in the body, just to name a few. i dont need the other. i also like the smell and taste of this essential mineral a whole lot better than a chlorine.
i appreciate the distinction you are making. distinctions must be made with forms of Iodine as well. i do the sodium salt of chloride.
