The claim that iron is dangerous is often based on two suppositions, the first being that since iron is present in plaques in the brain of people with Alzheimer's disease, iron must be part of the process of the creation of the plaques. However, it has been shown that plaques in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease are very sticky, and contain many things that may not have been involved in the initial formation of the plaques.

No. Atropine eye drops are used to dilate the pupil during eye exams, and also to treat the conditions amblyopia, esotropia and strabismus. Children with DS seem to have a greater dilation in response to atropine, and the dilation appears to last longer as well. However, there is no evidence that atropine eye drops has any effect on the body beyond the eyes. (North RV, Ophthal Physiol Opt, 7(2): 109-114, 1987)

Children with immune problems can have significant problems if infected with chicken pox. These include those children infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, those with cancer, those on steroids for other illnesses, and newborn babies.

Yes. Iron overload is dangerous because it can lead to hemochromatosis, a disease characterized by fatigue, joint pain, abdominal pain, or organ damage. It can become a serious health problem. The key to preventing hemochromatosis is early diagnosis and treatment. More information on treatment.

It is not dangerous because in this form iron can not act as a catalyst to produce reactive oxygen species. Emblica is not simply "another natural antioxidant." It has chelating and enzyme inhibiting multifunctional properties. It is the only commercially available antioxidant known to us which does not have pro-oxidation effect. Its price should be compared with premier antioxidants such as pine-bark antioxidants, grape antioxidants or rosemary antioxidants.

Without special safety precautions, the laser can be dangerous. However, we ensure patient as well as health care worker safety by: 1. providing safety glasses for everyone in the room; 2. using the lowest effective settings possible; and 3. only allowing the doctor to perform the procedure as per the State Board of Medical Examiners. At the very low energy settings we use to treat spider veins, the danger is minimal. Treatment for vein problems have advanced dramatically over the past 5 years.

Air bags inflate at speeds up to 200 mph -- faster than the blink of an eye -- to protect adults in a front-end collision. That blast of energy can severely hurt or kill passengers and drivers who are too close to the air bag. An infant's head in a rear-facing safety seat is directly in front of the air bag as it breaks through the dashboard and instantly inflates. Even some forward facing child safety seats could possibly place the child within range of the air bag before it is fully inflated.

Fetuses, infants and small children are more sensitive to mercury because their brains are still developing.

You can iron directly over Simply Spray, but not Stencil Spray. It is not necessary to iron Simply Spray to heat set it. Stencil Spray should be treated like silkscreen and care should be taken to avoid ironing it. Ironing directly over the paint could distort the appearance.

The majority of a lifetime’s sun exposure occurs under the age of 18, so babies, children, and adolescents need to protect their skin from sun exposure. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, regular sun protection throughout childhood can cut the rate of skin cancer by 80%. Teens may be especially at risk for developing skin cancer, because their cells are dividing and changing rapidly. Yet less than half of teenagers use sunscreens.

Yes. Airbags inflate at speeds up to 200 mph. The blast can severely injure or kill passengers sitting too close. Children are more likely than adults to sit too close to an air bag. As a rule of thumb, children under age 12 should ride properly restrained in the center of the back seat.

A few years ago, a parenting magazine asked me to write an article about the dangers that children face when they go online. As it turns out, I was the wrong author for the article they had in mind.

The first thing the provider should do is try to work with the parents to see if there are reasonable ways of curbing the child's bad behavior. He may need extra naps, "time out," or changes in his diet or medication.
