Childhood Problems

I went to a conference recently where I heard that heavy metal toxicity is related to autism, ADD and Alzheimers. This does not surprise me - we have made the air and soil and water toxic and if so- why should it escape our bodies? We are putting it in the system everyday.

We can change our culture and try to undo our errors but in the interim we can put better foods into our bodies in the form of supplements that deal with the toxins.

We have an increase in the numbers of children diagnosed as autistic and the researchers say they do not kow why. This from Reuters:

US survey shows autism very common

By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Correspondent

The first national surveys of autism show the condition is very common
among U.S. children -- with up to one in every 175 with the disorder,
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Thursday.

This adds up to at least 300,000 U.S. schoolchildren with autism, a
condition that causes trouble with learning, socializing and behavior,
the CDC said.....

Laura Schieve, an epidemiologist at the National Center on Birth Defects
and Developmental Disabilities who helped conduct the study, said the
study could not answer many questions about autism.

Ask others about nutrition and you will get responses that show we do know why there is a problem and why it's a growing problem.
