Drinking and bathing in contaminated water is bad enough but when we add more chemicals to the water, in hopes of making it safer, we actually add more problems to it. Swimming pools have multiple health challenges related to them. In this post and podcast, we will go over these issues and what guidelines you need to know.
 

The main three water contaminants

First, there are bacterial pathogens which are many, including MRSA. In swimming pools there are the even more due to what others carry on their body, and from outside sources in the air and from the city water.
 
Second, are the cysts, or protozoans. These include such organisms as giardia.
 
Third, there are viruses.
 

The three common dangerous chemicals added to water

Chlorine is added to water but its harmful effects are worsened when it reacts with other chemicals, organic vegetation and is detrimental to humans.
 
Chloramines are used by cities as alternate disinfectants. Most cities use chloramines in their water supply. When added to swimming pools the chloramine reacts with chlorine, urine and sweat from people using the pool and it outgases. This gas hovers over the surface of the water where it is most dangerous. It is ingested and inhaled when we swim in this water. A common symptom of this harmful gas is asthma and other respiratory issues. Chloramines are also known to effect female hormones as a reproductive toxin.
 
Disinfecting bi-products are called trihalomethanes or THM’s. THM’s are the worst. They are also in city water and are extremely dangerous whether from bathing, showering, or ingesting. They are known to be carcinogenic, especially effecting the bladder and colon. They are toxic to the central nervous system, are linked to heart, kidney and lung disease, and effect the female reproductive system. They are known to be the cause of miscarriage. There is no safe level of THM’s. You can get your drinking water checked from the resources at the bottom of this page but the best course is to use a quality water purifier.
 
In my podcast interview with water expert, Robert Slovak, we discuss in further detail the solutions around these problems and how you can protect your family best from them.
 
We must provide pure water for our kids, especially for our children with autism. They have compromised immune systems and poor detoxification pathways which make it harder to excrete the dangerous contaminants in most water. Please see the Aquatru water filter for one of the best drinking water filters on the market. It was developed by water expert, Robert Slovak.
 
In this associated podcast I interview world-renowned water expert, Robert Slovak, we will discuss the various contaminants to be aware of in swimming pools, their health challenges, guidelines, and resources to help. We also discuss your drinking and bathing water, along with the best purifying filter options. Please listen to this podcast interview.

Underlying toxins, pathogens and coinfections cause inflammation on the brain which causes the damage which creates the symptoms of autism. These symptoms in your child can range from inability to focus and learn to their full potential, sleep disorders, irritability and even aggression.

The good news is it is reversible. I have utilized this successfully with my own son even after I was told it was not possible, but I forged on because of my love for him.

I now have over 18 years of autism research to share with you to help simplify the process and get you real results. We work with all of them in my programs, naturally.

Need help knowing what to do to make your child's life a better one? 

As a mother of an autistic child, I understand the worry, frustration, and fear that comes with the diagnosis... and the hopelessness that can stem from failed solutions. Please hear me when I say:

You do not have to settle for behavioral therapies and medications that “manage” symptoms (at best) for the rest of time. There is another way.

In the Naturally Recovering Autism Membership Program, I break down everything A-Z that worked for my son—and thousands of my clients' children—so you can finally, FINALLY, celebrate a solution that works.

This is for informational purposes only and is not meant to diagnose or treat. Every child’s level of recovery is different. No two people are the same. It is never implied that all children will have the same outcome. Results are all based on individual biology and the work that is done. This process takes time and various steps, effort and resources need to be weighed. Our programs are intended to help you become more knowledgeable and guide you to help bring your child a better quality of life, whatever that may be. We want to help by giving great content, direction and strategies that move you forward. Nothing on this page or any of our websites is a promise or guarantee of results or future outcomes. The results on this page and any of our websites are not typical or promised. In fact, there will be people who purchase this and other programs and never put the work into implementing the strategies taught and therefore will achieve little to no results. Our more detailed earnings disclaimer, privacy policy, and terms and conditions for this program and website can be accessed via the links below. We hold ourselves (and you) to a high standard of integrity. We are cheering you on every step of the way.
