  • Watch the video all the way through. The dirty secret that the doc admits is that lead causes ADD, and ADHD. From a well respected hospital. The media needs to do more of these kind of stories to wake up america!

  • Toxic Metals CAUSE AUTISM!

  • dude... lead is not that toxic... if you really want to know. I can go to a hardwarestore and buy a bar of lead... carry it with my bare hands, melt it in my kitchen, breathe the fumes, and be just fine. RELAX!!! THERE ARE NOT DANGEROUS AMOUNTS OF LEAD!!
