...We get only one chance to develop a brain. Yet no textbook discusses brain development from the point of view of vulnerability to toxic damage, and only a tiny fraction of neuroscience today focuses on the developmental and toxicological origins of brain dysfunctions and disease. Methods for neurotoxicity testing of chemicals are available, but some need further validation or refinement. Our future use and production of chemicals should be tested for safety with regard to brain development. The new research initiatives can contribute crucial guidance for prudent decisions on protecting the brains of our children and grandchildren. That would be an intelligent investment.

We would not need a cure if it were not for government who looks out for the needs of industry and profiteers. There is an area in Ohio rife with Parkinsonism due to presence of a Manganese plant. The plant is owned by a French corporation but laws are so stringent there they are in Ohio making people sick. What is wrong with this world? What is wrong with us for accepting this?
