I personally can't imagine drinking from a pool filled with biguinide could be much healthier. She is very mindful of his diet, and she is very particular about the chemicals she uses to clean with (my wife cleans her house), because he is in detoxification to rid the mercury from his body.

My question is: Is it better to use a biguinide product in this case vs. chlorine and just go by the biguinide sticky? The only thing we haven't done is drain 60% of the pool every year, and that would probably take care of the cloudiness.

For me, I'll continue with my sparkling clear BBB!!!

Hi Drumr,

Our nephew was also a vaccine damaged infant, but thankfully has recovered and has no problem using our SWG pool. Thimerosal has been removed from most children's vaccines (by the kicking and screaming pharma giants who would rather use mercury to sterilize, post-manufacture than to go to the expense of building a clean room environment to make vaccines, but that's another subject) Most flu vaccines and the like still have thimerosal content.

The problem, as I understand it, doesn't come from chlorine per se, but from the carbolic acid generated by phenol destruction in the pool water. I would guess that our #1 rule (Don't pee in the pool) would help, regardless of what method you choose, but also be careful that the biguanide agent doesn't contain other chemicals like dyes or anti-caking agents (which are usually wheat-based).

ASD kids usually suffer from gut-related autoimmune disorders which can often be minimized by gluten/casein free diets or specific carbohydrate diets, both of which can be "violated" by many kinds of innocuous additives like starch, barley, wheat products, corn syrup or food dyes. Even soy is contraindicated for many of these kids. Paradoxically, if they can get foods containing these ingredients, they will try to eat nothing else. (hence the reason he drinks pool water?)

The amount required to "recontaminate" can be amazingly small.

There's a terrific line of digestive enzymes that keep G/C free diets easier to maintain at:

The "No-Phenol" enzyme might be very helpful if the sensitivity seems to be chlorine-related, but the other enzymes they sell are very good too. These enzymes can be a lifesaver for someone who's forced to swim in an indoor pool or has persistent allergies or sensitivities.

P.S. There's a movement afoot to correct the diagnostic terminology regarding doctor or vaccine-created "autism". Many now insist on calling it "toxic encephalopathy", just in case they want to google the related links.
