Reminder: Christmas Lights, Artificial Trees, and China-Made Christmas Toys Are Poisoned With Lead

This Christmas, people ought to sing, 'It's the most poisonous time of the year'.  People good-naturely assume that they will not be poisoned by Christmas items, despite what the chemical industry routinely does to them during the remainder of the year.  There are elevated poisoning risks during Christmas.  Many toys that are being made in China contain lead, along with other chemicals such as B.P.A., which have been proven to be dangerous to children.  The lead-laced toys are already illegal in the United States, but you'll find them at almost every U.S. retailer.  The lead toys appeared at Christmas two years ago.  All of them came from China, so it is recommended that readers choose only toys which have been made in the United States.  This may require extra effort on the part of parents, like for instance, finding gifts online.

It is extremely unlikely that the lead poisonings were accidental, when we consider the opportune timing.  For instance, lead typically appears in Chinese-made toys at Christmas time, when purchases would be the highest, whilst lead likewise always appears in Chinese-made lunch boxes at the beginning of the school year.  Such coincidences simply do not occur, and intentionally poisoning children is truly evil.  In more honorable times, this would have been responded to as an act of war, and the poisoned items would have been immediately removed from retail shelves.  Most Americans were either not told about, or were distracted away from the anti-freeze that the Chinese were adding to toothpastes that were destined for sale in the United States.  They told the U.S. Government that the anti-freeze was a "sweetener".  They also were caught adding the pesticide melamine to 90% of U.S. infant formulas, which the F.D.A. helped the industry cover-up.  They claimed that the pesticide was to increase the "protein" content.  You'd better check on this if you have an infant!  Even if the formla itself is technically manufactured in America, some of the ingredients may be shipped from China, so be cautious of tricky cover-ups.  While killing their own babies may be an official policy of the evil Chinese Government, we should never allow them to destroy our children too.

Readers should also read our warning about Christmas trees and lights from last year.  Unfortunately, the regulations were not changed, and these products are still dangerous.  Lead is an accumulative toxin that is never flushed out of the body without interventions from alternative medicine.  Lead has been proven to dramatically lower the I.Q. of children (which explains much), and it causes developmental difficulties (i.e. A.D.D.).  Please read the article, and if you still insist on using these toxic products, then make sure that you wear gloves and a rebreather mask while handling them, and especially ensure that your children do not touch them.
