"Antimony is the new lead (Pb)"

FYI

AMAB 2010 Second International Conference on Autism Spectrum Disorders


The conference schedule and registration links are up, now.

I spoke to Dr. DeMio on the telephone this morning. He told me that there will be an update on the topic of antimony at this conference. (See the Kirkman Labs web site for info about the most recent scare.)

Antimony is a element that is used in mattresses, pajamas, and bedding as a flame retardant, a neurotoxin, that shows up in the hair and blood tests from children on the autism spectrum.

Dr. DeMio told me, "Antimony is the new lead (Pb)."

Scary.
