Lead Babies Cover
Scheduled for release in May 2009, LEAD BABIES is a book that will be available to people who are planning families, but want to ensure their best chance for a baby that is neurologically healthy.
LEAD BABIES exposes the epidemic of learning disabilities, ADHD and low IQ that until now has been treated as an unsolved mystery or genetically caused condition – at best, a spin of the Roulette wheel. With research confirming this is not case, LEAD BABIES ties proven science to everyday life, so that readers can grasp the reality of lead’s prevalence and the danger it poses. It then provides simple steps to follow to eliminate future lead exposure and encourages women who are planning a family to reverse the accumulations of lead already in their body, before getting pregnant.
The book was written by Joanna Cerazy M.Ed. and Sandra Cottingham Ph.D., researchers and authors with a combined 35 years experience as special education teachers. They believe it is time to make people aware of the facts about lead and the damage it is causing to developing brains. “Toys and food containing lead are a concern for all of us, but an unborn or newly born baby is at far higher risk to suffer more severe brain damage from lead.” The authors set out to empower the upcoming generation of parents to break the cycle of what Cerazy and Cottingham call, “lead babies”; those whose brains were damaged by lead early in life and now struggle in school or have compromised employment potential as adults.
Exposure to lead and the permanent neurological damage it causes comes down to two things: awareness and choice. Both are responsibilities that lie with our next generation of parents.
