Parents find industrial chemicals in boy’s blood
CNN.com: On a whim, two parents got in on a bloodstream study to find out what kinds of chemicals are in their children’s blood. It turned out that in just 18 months, their toddler had amassed more man-made gunk in his body than they’d gotten in decades. It all came from the environment in which he lives, from mattresses, fabrics, and plastic spoons and plates.

I found that house music helped me get rid of heavy metal…
I hated the black t-shirts anyways

I will try to find the name of the supplement I took to get rid of heavy metals. Its very gentle on the system and highly effective.
Ms. Wakame
Yep. I had high levels of mercury and aluminium, and amazingly enough, no lead. Mercury is the real killer. It triggers (and some believe causes) many of the brain regenerative diseases later in life like Alzheimer’s. Lead affects the brain too. Both of them play a part in severely lowering the immune system. Thank goodness at the time it was discovered I had access to an amazing specialist who helped me completely cleanse the system. Slowly over the years since then I have noticed huge improvements in attention span, vocabulary and memory. I no longer have really bad days where I sometimes felt unable to communicate my thoughts using even the simplest words, and I no longer struggle to access information I know is stored there or forget what I was just about to do.

Our son had his urine tested (for nutrional purposes, because he’s a pro athlete), to see what supplements he might need. He tested high for mercury and lead. He takes supplements to lower both, but the nutritionist told him to quit drinking any water but bottled water. Scary. And the supplements and bottled water haven’t brought down the levels all that much.

Interesting… except that the kid has an older sibling. One of the heaviest chemicals that was found in him was from exposure to the flame retardent coating on his mattress.

I bet the kid was the first-born. He didn’t get the chemicals in the first 18 months of life, he got them before that. The kid, in-utero, got all the toxins his mother could dump into him, all the stuff she’d collected over the years. If he was breastfed, he probably did get some of them after he was born.
