Admissions of Guilt

Sometimes manufacturers actually do the right thing. You know already that all manufacturers are not the same by any means. Quite a few corporations maintain the philosophy that as long as they can get away with it, the longer they can realize a nice profit margin. Then reality sets in, and someone dies.

I'm not trying to be morbid, it's just a fact. Infant crib (cot) deaths are a fact. Human deaths from toxic chemical poisoning are a fact.

Simmons Kids Crib Mattress Recall

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)

Dr Jim Sprott is a highly respected consulting chemist and forensic scientist from New Zealand. Dr. Sprott has conducted over fifteen years of crib/cot SIDS research.

According to Sprott, three gases were identified that were generated by a common fungus that grows inside the mattresses on which the babies died. The gases are "phosphine, arsine and stibine." All are extremely toxic nerve gases.

Check your baby's mattress. Google the Internet for the keywords: your baby mattresses' (brand name) and (recall), without the parenthesis. That's the best way to protect your family--investigate it for yourself. Information is readily available.

Infant Toxic Poisoning Warning

It is now known that fluoride's "Probably Toxic Dose" which "should trigger therapeutic intervention and hospitalization because of the likelihood of serious toxic consequences--is 5 mg/kg of bodyweight."

I did the math for you. That's 0.0002 of an ounce of tooth paste for every 2.2 pounds of body weight for it to be a probable toxic dose if swallowed. What this means to you is that many dental products found in your home contain more than enough fluoride to kill or seriously harm your small child, if even just a tiny amount is ingested.
