Mercury and toxic metals cause developmental problems of many types including retarding growth. Some have had success with supplements that promote growth factor. Toxic metals in older people are a major factor in osteoporosis, but affect bone growth developmentally as well. Lead has long been implicated in growth problems, but mercury affects growth also. the following is snipped from one of my papers. Some of the developmental effects documented to be caused by low level toxic metal exposure include developmental delays, growth problems, slower reaction times, diminished intellectual ability, behavior problems, poor balance and motor function, hearing loss, attention deficit disorder, etc.(19,43,54,etc.) (19) Great Smokies Diagnostic Lab, Developmental Disorders of Toxic Origin: the Persistance of Lead, 2000, http://www.gsdl.com/news/insights/number4/index1.html; & Emory E, Pattillo R, Archibold E, Bayorh M, Sung F, Neurobehavioral effects of low-level lead exposure in human neonates.
