T. Haleem Abdul-Rahman has
been a mentor in the Baltimore City Public School system for ten
years. During this
time, he started an after-school program to tutor youth and provide
homework assistance.
Many of the students he dealt with were diagnosed with learning
disabilities. Later,
he learned that many of the problems the children were having
(inability to focus on schoolwork, lack of comprehension and
retention of learned material, lack of discipline in the classroom,
poor social skills and inability to get along with others) were
associated with having lead and other metal contaminants in their
bodies.
He gained a much deeper
understanding of these issues when he and his wife adoped a little
girl who was highly contaminated with lead. Her behavior made it extremely
difficult for any learning to take place. Doctors prescribed the drug
ritalin in order to counteract the effects of the lead and to
control her behavior.
He was resistant because he had seen the effects that this drug had
on other children, and he did not wish those same results for his
daughter. He sought an
alternative method, and he and his partner developed “Lead Detox,”
a dietary supplement consisting of a special combination of herbs
and other nutrients designed to “get the lead out.” The ingredients formulated in
Lead Detox worked to greatly reduce the toxic levels of the lead in
his daughter. However,
he discovered that only half of the problem was solved, because
damage to the cells of her brain and body had to be reversed and
repaired. Then they
formulated “Brilliance,” and the results were remarkable! This was the beginning
of Natural
Recovery.
