Thomas Trains Poison Our Children

I am completely beside myself.

Chandler has been full of lead since he was two. We have been

chelating him on and off, but still there is lead. Saw his doc today

and got his test from last week. Looke. Lead.

Then I came home to this:

Well sweet Chandler has spent the last 4 or so years with a Thomas

train in one hand and another in his mouth.

Every autistic, toxin vulnerable boy anywhere has had one of these

trains in his pocket since he had a pocket to put them in.

This is horrible. Who the hell decides to put lead paint on toddlers

toys?

Hi Ginger,

This is horrible.....my son mouthed a ducky that came from

China and I took it from him. I am sure that he was getting

some toxic "fix" from it. I took out all plastics that went

into his mouth...sippy cups, rings, ect.

He is recovered now, but the two things that helped us the most

were diet and not just GFCF, soy, phenol and sugar free, but

Nourishing Traditions by Pat Fallon. It is an amazing book that

will open your eyes to food and how it can heal. Google weston

price foundation to read about it and Dr. Price's work.

The other was to identify toxins in his environment and

eliminate them as much as possible and that means molds and

fungus too. We also found an awesome homeopath who opens up the

detox pathways in the liver, kidneys and lymph and then worked

to restore cell integrity and adrenals and stimulate his pineal

and pituitary. I know you left CA, he is in Santa Barbara.

He had steady gains with no regression and is in a regular

school with no diagnosis. He never had any ABA, speech or OT. I

did learn and use Floortime with him early on and did lots of

movement based on sensory integration. We only chelated him

naturally. It can be done. Good luck...I am so glad you found

SCD. Check out Nourishing traditions too.

That is terrible. I agree....who thinks that is okay. We can't

have it painted on our walls so why is it in their toys!!

I'm feeling rather like I shouldn't purchase anything made in

China as the recall list of kids toys with lead paint in them

that is huge. An ABC news article says 233 items from China

were on the recall list in 2006, with lead being a recurring

reason. It's awful, especially this stuff in baby and toddler

products.
