Chlorine is essential to life, and is found in almost every tissue of the body - most concentrated in the blood.  Chlorine occurs in combination with Calcium, Potassium and Sodium.  All plants / herbs contain some Chlorine in the form of Sodium Chloride.

Chlorine helps regulate the correct balance of acid and alkali in the blood, stimulates production hydrochloric acid, an enzymatic juice needed in the stomach for digestion of tough, fibrous foods.

Chlorine stimulates the liver to function as a filter for wastes and helps clean toxic waste products out of the system.  In the diet chlorine can be found in kelp, dulse (sea vegetables), rye flour and ripe olives.
