I've not read the book but sometimes we overlook the simple solutions to some of our problems... If it has not been proscribed by a doctor then it can't work. Most doctors will try and pass on "new medicines" just because the major drug companies are promoting a new product.
I know we use simple salt and sugar with clean water to save children in the 3rd world during these all to frequent food shortages in these regions. Most people don't really know how lucky they are to live in the USA.

Fresh clean chlorine free tap water was everything to my two children 9 years ago when they came down with coughs that lasted ten months and their doctors could not help them. The doctors..and their were many that saw them...were even saying that the children were becoming asthmatic.
Guess what it was the chlorine the water company started putting into our water supply. As soon as I started them on bottled water (for drinking and juice making etc.) that was chlorine free and medicine free their coughs went away within 24-48 hours.
Their coughing had been treated with antibiotics many times and cough medicine every night and (asthma medicines occasionally) for a whole ten months.
The only coughing they do now is when they have a real cold/cough that lasts only days. Or if they accidently get a hold of another chlorine source, like at school etc.
In effect pure water CURED them.
Everyone check out if chlorine tap water is causing you to be ill. Surely my two children aren't the only humans in the world with this chlorine sensitivity.

Harr,
Bottle water is very expensive if you use it for every day use, you can purchase a chlorine filter just like he ones that we have in our refridgerators.
To test your water supply for chlorine you can buy a "pool test kit" (these cost less than $10 at most large stores)Test the water supply before and after you fit the filter.
If your refridgerator has a filter fitted test that supply also, manufacturers recommend replacing the filter every 6 months.

Thats good information for someone who might need it.
I really like and never heard before, of the pool test kit one could use on the chlorine tap water.
The best initial testing to see if the chlorine tap water is making a person sick is to buy a few gallon waters for drinking (and or bottled juice instead of concentrate juice with tap water) for a week and see if the coughing goes away. Much more expensive to keep seeing the doctor and having so many medications. I know we lived it.
It seemed like a miracle that my two kids coughs stopped. Keep in mind they coughed for TEN months without stopping. Especially at night.And that was 9 years ago.
My family is now on our own personal well water with no chlorine. We also get it checked twice per year at a nearby lab for any contaminates. Luckily no more bathing in chlorine water which also effected our 3 year old in a smaller degree.
We choose to have drinking water brought in by large water dispensors. Well worth the money and not really that expensive. Thirty-fourty dollars a month for drinking for 4 people. Of course filter sometimes can get expensive too. Whole house filters are very expensive. To be 100% free of coughing our smaller younger 3 year old also needed to not be bathing in the chlorine water. She was 90% cured of the coughing once we stopped having her drink chlorine tap water.
This may seem like a bottled water advertisment but it is absolutly not. I'mm just trying to help someone else who just might be going through what my kids went through. Hopefully someone elso doesn't have to suffer needlessly as my kids did. No one helped us. I had to figure it out for myself. Right down to the day the water company put the chlorine into our water for the very first time, to being only a couple days later and they were coughing.
There might be many people out there so ill and taking so many medications and they don't need any medications. Doctors aren't telling them that chlorine drinking water could "possibly" be a problem.
