**Aluminum is harmful to the nervous system with a range of symptoms that can include disturbed sleep, nervousness, emotional instability, memory loss, headaches, and impaired thinking and memory. Aluminum is found in cookware, food and beer/soda cans, aluminum foil, antacids, baking powder, anti-perspirants, margarine, buffered aspirin and bleached white flour.
**Mercury exposure can cause mental dysfunction, fatigue, poor memory, depression, emotional problems, neurological and muscular disorders. Dental amalgam fillings are by far the number one source. Mercury is also found in fungicides and pesticides, cosmetics, tattoo dyes, laxatives, paper products, home thermometers and fish (especially shark, swordfish, tuna, mackerel and sea bass). And regardless of what the drug companies may claim, mercury is STILL found in some vaccinations. And since it's injected (versus processed through the GI tract), it has a clear and direct path to cross the blood/brain barrier and do its damage.
**Lead : In children, too much lead in the body can cause lasting problems with growth and development. These can affect behavior, hearing, and learning and can slow the child's growth.Lead is typically found in pipes, paints and gasoline. It's also in glassware, roadways, cosmetics, hair dyes, newspaper print and in the glazes used in ceramics.
**Vaccination : If you choose to have your child vaccinated, at least demand that he/she be given vaccinations that are free of preservatives and thimerosal.
