Wouldn’t it be useful if all goods and services for children that contain toxic heavy metals were removed from the market? Even if the products are highly profitable and produced in the US - such as mercury fillings and mandated vaccines that contain mercury and other harmful substances?
Wouldn’t it also be useful to provide news coverage on where parents can purchase safe and effective diagnostic tools and treatments plans for heavy metal toxicity for their kids – thereby avoiding having their child misdiagnosed as having a behavioral problem when the source of their health problem may be heavy metal toxicity?
