water filters for bath tub

	Back to Autism Information >> Next Topic
	Hi, We have just started chelation via suppositories.  Over the last week I have been concerned about bath water.  We don't have a filter on our tub so I am concerned about the minerals he could be absorbing through his skin while bathing.  Does anyone have a tub filter for such a reason? Also, should I be concerned about taking him for swim lessons?  Is chlorine something to be carefull of? Last question:  I've heard that some bottled water is no more than filtered tap water.  Is there a preferred bottled water? Thank you for your time, Denise Hi, I am on a mission.  I will make a long, long, long story very short and would like to talk with you more.  My Angle Daughter 4 1/2 years old, never slept good since birth along with constant constipation. On constant antibiotics, constant mucus, adnoidectomy, ear tubes, and speech reversed around 2 years old, severe sleep deprivation and night awakenings, multiple test for CF, immunity, allergies, reflux, ......etc, After her last bout of antibiotics and unsympthetic doctors that have a 2 minute timeframe for each patient, I started micro-analyzing my daughters diet and day. After being awoken the 3rd time with moans, cries, kicking legs, throwing self, I was on my knees. God intervened: I noticed every night she had a bath, steamy shower she was worse, .. I experimented!  I can tell you this, after 2 days of taking my daughter off of all tap water, (drinking, cooking, bathing, teeth brushing....etc) no vaporizers on..... she was sleeping 10 hours.  The % of symptoms was drastically reduced.  Then realized, no fabric softeners and no dryer sheets and only used some special soap from health store, symptoms down drastically. Then covered my mattress and box spring with 3 500 count 100% cotton sheets, and she only slept in 100% cotton(not treated) clothing.....Actually had 3 nights in a row with no symptoms at all. A happy child who asked "WHY" question for the first time in her life.... Was asking questions, answering, speaking long sentences and multiple ones, vibrant..... Miracle! I don't know what is up, but I can not get one doctor to confirm or help me with this discovery... My daughter has never been diagnosed with Autism, but every 'food' reaction, and other behaviors I have recently researched has led me to only Autism sites, She is being evaluated for kindergarten next week, we shall see.... We still have other dietary issues and sleep problems that have started to pop up, these past week, ... I am figureing it out.  No more anti-biotics.. By the way, she is off all medications for sinus, allergy, reflux, asthma, ...they only gave them to her because they couldn't find anything wrong but chronic infections, sleep problems and excess mucous. YES, the tap water is a problem... AS God is my witness, it effected my daugher somehow.  I am bankrupt now, hardly working, and have no money for a water treatment, but I will find a way once I know more precisely what are her triggers. They don't even want to hear about what she gets like depending on what she eats, now we have some other issues, but I think they are detox... from the constant exposure to these chemicals.... Please, at least try no bath for a few nights and no foods with water, just try it, no boiling water from the tap, and definately no showers or baths... there is an article from a professor from Pitt university about tap water and baths and showers...... as I have to try some food elimination, I beg of you to try the distilled water only route...  Maybe if it helped my daughter with a lot of her symptoms, it may help your child and maybe others.  E Everything I read is about diet and chemical sensitivities, but no one ever talks about BATH, shower and water with chlorine/flouride... Oh yeah, the night she used her flouride rinse (UGH!) Time will tell. Oh yeah, DISTILLED WATER, or if you can find a water with more purity go for it. I also supplemented my daughter with a fantastic liquid vitamin with minerals, since distilled water has nothing of value in it... Please, please let me know!!!
