[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 543020, member: 3493"] Angelbec - You are right about lead possibly leaching out but it is very limited. My childrens' doctors all told me that lead stores in the femur bones and if they fracture before the age of 21, the lead can leach out and you need to inform the doctors asap so they can test the levels and treat if needed. After about that age, it's not a problem and it's not a problem with any other bones. They never told me about calcium or Vitamin C, just iron, but I'm going back 20 years so the protocols have likely changed. Also, I have not heard of a child who is classified and in mainstream ed at least part of the time ever being given a diagnosis of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). My son's original diagnosis was OHI (other health impaired) and was later changed to Asperger's.
