September 13, 2017 World Mercury Project - By Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
A “silent pandemic of neurodevelopmental toxicity” is disabling a generation of children around the world. This is the verdict of neurology experts Philippe Grandjean and Philip Landrigan in a 2014 report in Lancet Neurology. The staggering tsunami of developmental disabilities now affects at least one in six children in the U.S. and millions more worldwide. Two new studies suggest that the most common of these illnesses—autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and tics—are related to each other and may share common causation. The culprit? Environmental toxins, particularly heavy metals.
About 11% (or one in nine 4-17-year-olds) have received an ADHD diagnosis—and in some states, as many as 19%. The most recent ASD estimates in the U.S., from 2014 data, report a prevalence of one in 45 children, representing a “significant increase” compared to 2011–2013.
Adding to the worry, scientists and physicians are increasingly seeing children with multiple neurodevelopmental disorders. Children with “comorbid diagnoses” (i.e., more than one disorder) often have “greater levels of emotional, behavioral and educational impairment and the need for more intensive treatment.” Notably, ASD and ADHD frequently co-occur. The current version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) recognizes this trend by allowing for a combined diagnosis, whereas prior versions (DSM-IV and DSM-IV-TR) barred simultaneous ADHD and ASD diagnoses.

'This is a great article but we also know it effects adult, just go try to have an intelligent conversation with someone and you can see that. We also know that the problem comes from geoengineering (Chemtrails), GMOs, and the chemical they put into the water. So please do not vaccinate your children, avoid genetically modified food, do not drink their water and join the fight.' - @anothervoice
A helpful hint:
When you are quoting something you need to make that clear.
The readers will easily know and it will keep Cheetah off your back.
Put a '>' in front of the words that you are quoting.

ha ha ... I am just a Canadian who likes coconuts and uses a lot of coconut oil and sometimes buys coconut water to drink.
I don't see the edit changes.
Here is a video that may help you with that.

Thanks! I must have missunderstood. All the same I think I will just post photo until I can develop a new way to post where the scammers can not take advantage of my post. Cheetah and steemcleaner are the two biggest scammers on Steemit. They have everyone fooled and scared. My profession was Director of Casino Surveillance and I investigate things. When I find time I will put the information together and present it. It just takes a lot of work to present the case and it is not worth my time when so few people will see and even fewer will take action due to fear. Again thanks, I do appreciate you taking the time to try and help.

What Cheetah and steemcleaners are trying to do is to stop scammers actually.
There have been many people who have come on Steemit and post other people's content, claiming it as their own.
They get votes for somebody else's work.
This is probably considered the biggest taboo here on Steemit.
What people post here is supposed to be their own content.
Of course we may quote other people's content,
as long as you add your own thoughts to it and acknowledge that the quoted part isn't your own.
Cheetah is a bot,
so it can't tell your intentions.
So that is why it doesn't flag people, but rather upvotes them and leaves a comment behind to let people know that it found material that is already elsewhere on the web.
I'm sorry that you have been bothered by this, and misunderstood it.
If you follow my original suggestions,
and clearly acknowledge through the proper tools that you are quoting someone,
you should have no problem.
I wish you the best here on Steemit.
