Feeling wost after the shower- get a filter to remove the chlorine. Andy Cutler talks about this. Sensitivity to chlorine strongly suggests that you are deficient in taurine.

I also would use only chemical free soap, shampoo and conditioner. I use Avalon.

constant shocking problem-Oh my, this one used to drive me crazy and whenever I got brave enough to mention it to a dr. they thought I was crazy. In my opinion (because there is nothing on the net that I could find, but based on my personal experience) this is caused from being dehydrated. That is why it gets worst in the winter when the heat is running, but still doesn't go away in the rest of the year. I soon learned to use this as a sign that I needed to drink even yet more water!

Oh, it just occured to me as I was looking over this that taurine has an effect on the electrolyte balance (helps with getting magnesium into the cells) so the two things are probably connected. I use magnesium taurate.
