Factors adversely influencing neurodevelopment
Vol 33, Issue 6, 2019
Abstract
Neurodevelopment has been studied extensively, especially in respect to abuse, anoxia, nutritional status and prematurity/low birth weight. However, less attention has been paid to innate and environmental factors, as well as to inflammatory conditions that may adversely affect neurodevelopment and learning in children. These include heavy metals, herbicides and polyvinyl chlorides (PVCs), mycotoxins, viral infections and Lyme disease-associated pathogens, as well as number of conditions such as chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) and Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). Early recognition of factors/conditions that could interfere with neurodevelopment is critical. Corrective actions, including the use of some unique natural flavonoids, could have lasting beneficial results.
