Why Are So Many Kids Sick?

More U.S. children age 3 – 14 die of cancer than any other sease.

.S. leads the world in Juvenile diabetes

0% of U.S. children have elevated cholesterol

1996 there were more than 1 million American children on a ily dose of Ritalin (Newsweek, March 18, 1996)

sthma deaths in children ages 5 to 15 more than doubled in e past decade. s many as 1 in every 3 pregnancies now ends in miscarriage. ewsweek, Aug. 15 1988)

hildhood obesity has risen more than 54% since the mid 1960’s r. W.H. Dietz, Tufts University School of Medicine)

% of teen’s diets do not meet even the minimum daily quirements.

% or Americans are deficient in some critical minerals.

t every socio-economic level, more than 50% are alnourished. (USDA Joint Task Force, mid 1980’s)

Dr. Linus Pauling concluded that it is possible to dramatically

increase the health, and even the amount of years a child will live

by Controlling:

W

hat children are exposed to Environmentally

And Nutritionally

4

Page 5: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Everything that comes in contact with their skin...will eventually (and in many cases immediately) end up in the child’s blood stream.

Everything a child eats, Everything they are exposed to in their air, and water;

This is true for adults too!

Toxic chemicals enter the brain (confusion, lack of focus, poor memory, headaches, depression, etc.)

Toxic chemicals enter the liver and other organs

(can set the stage for cancer, allergies, poor immune system, miscarriage, reproductive problems. Etc.)

Page 6: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Today’s kids are exposed to more toxins than ever before in

Air Cleaning chemicals in the home; out-gassing

from carpet glue, furniture, synthetic clothing, thousands of chemicals

Water Poor water quality a problem in every state in the U.S.. Water is treated with Flouride and Chlorine.

Both are carcinogens and poisons.

Food Convenience foods; chemical vitamins, (like

Flintstones)

The Air In Our Homes

Is Considered To Be One Of The “Top 5 Health

Concerns”

7

Page 8: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

According To The EPA.

There are poisons in the air in your home; Dangerous Household & Personal Care Products

In industry, workers are required to wear special gloves, goggles and even respirators when using some of the exact same

products found in just about every home. We use these same chemicals at home with little or not protection or warning.

Debra Lynn Dadd, “Please Protect Yourself From Household Toxics”)

Many poisonings happen slowly by gradual skin absorption and by daily exposure to toxins in the air in the home.

(Nancy S. Green, “Stop Poisoning Our Children”, The Noble Press, 1991)

Poisons from carpet, furniture, plastics, dry

cleaning, etc. A baby crawling on the floor breathes the toxin

equivalent of 4 cigarettes a day from molds, mildew, fungi, outgasing of carpets, dust mites, etc.

(Scientific American)

8

Page 9: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Why is our water such a concern? Every year at least 255 metric tons of hazardous chemical wastes are dumped into our nation’s environment. These toxic substances find their way to the water table.

Many cancer causing chemicals are added to our drinking water to “clean it up”. Chlorine is a special problem. Flouride is added to, supposedly, “prevent tooth decay”. (a project that has failed miserable, and causes negative health consequences…..)

9

Page 10: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Chlorine is a problem! “Research indicates the incidence of cancer is 44% higher among those who use chlorinated

water.” Dr. Robert Harris, environmental scientist, White House

Advisory Council, 1980.

“There is an increased evidence for an

association between rectal, colon and bladder cancer and chlorinated drinking water.” President’s Council on Environmental Quality, Dec. 1980

10

Page 11: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Flouride is a problem!!

Flouride is a known carcinogen

5% increase of all types of cancers in flouridated watercommunities.

Dramatic increase in bone cancers (most especially in young males exposed to flouride during bone growth).

Flouride does NOT reduce tooth decay.

In the largest U.S. Study – 39,000 U.S. Public Health dental records showed virtually NO difference in tooth decay rates

in flouridated vs. non-flouridated communities.

All references from “Flouridation, a 50 Year Old Blunder”

David Kennedy. DDS Preventive Dental Health Association

For more information on the negative aspects of flouride, check out the numerous sites on the internet.

In addition to drinking pure water, make sure your child gets

enough water! 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue, and may be the cause of joint and back pain in adults.

Even mild dehydration can trigger fuzzy short term memory, or trouble focusing.

Drinking adequate water daily (your body weight divided by 2 in ounces. 100# person would need 50 ounces daily) decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%; breast cancer by 79%, and bladder cancer by 50%.

12

Page 13: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Pure water flushes poisons out of our system. It’s the natural

answer for thirst. Too many juices raise the

blood sugar.

Carbonated Beverages Cause critically needed calcium to be removed from the body. Did you know what else “Coke” can be used for?

To clean corrosion from car battery terminals To remove rust spots from chrome bumpers To loosen a rusted bolt (apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes)

Did you know that: Coke will dissolve a nail in about 4 days To carry Coca-Cola syrup concentrate the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material cards reserved for Highly Corrosive Materials.

Page 14: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Today’s Food

Food today isn’t always real food. There are hundreds of chemicals in food (we eat

stuff we can’t even pronounce)

Lots of soils can’t grow healthy food

any more. (we’ve used too many chemicals and

mis-managed our soil for too many years)

14

Page 15: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

WAY too much sugar in our diets…. (ooops)

(per serving…) 10 teaspoons in Raisin Bran

11 teaspoons in strawberry yogurt 3 teaspoons in tomato soup

8 teaspoons in Hi C The primary ingredient in Flintstone’s

is sugar. Some Catsups and Peanut Butters

are 25% Sugar. (Now you know why Your Kids like them so much)

A kid can easily be eating 2 pounds of sugar every week.

(without ever taking the lid off the sugar bowl)

15

Page 16: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Some “Sugar Facts” It depletes the immune system

(12 tsp. Of sugar will decrease the immune system’s ability to destroy bacteria by 60%. Start with a breakfast of sugary cereal, a pop tart, and the immune system is already operating below optimum.)

It depletes the nervous system. Critical vitamins and minerals that are needed for the nervous system are used up as sugar is being processed by the body.

It increases cholesterol. Raised insulin levels cause LDLs (the bad guys”) to remain highly active, and keep the “good guys” HDL from being used.

It makes children “Hyper” Insulin levels rise, then drop.(*A drug like effect similar to using “uppers” and “downers”)

16

Page 17: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Sugar consumption is linked to • Diabetes • Hypoglycemia • Inability to handle stress • Mood changes • Behavior problems • Tooth Decay • Digestion problems • Poor Immune System • Heart Disease • Obesity (Yikes!!!)

17

Page 18: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Our diet choices are often due to the fact that

most of us are in a HURRY!

Mom working

Not enough time to shop for fresh veggies…no time to cook.

Kids have soccer practice, piano lessons…..

Bills to PAY.. people to see…places to GO!!!!

18

Page 19: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

What’s a family to do??????

19

Page 20: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Some suggestions:

Have a family “talk” Decide on what’s most important

Make small changes Build on your successes

Delegate jobs;

Kids can help with laundry!

Kids can help with the menu planning and grocery

shopping.

20

Page 21: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Pray Together

Have fun together

Do your best to create a home

that is filled with Love

Beauty Gratitude Laughter

Forgiveness Respect

21

Page 22: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Immediately

using toxic chemicals in your home!!

22

Page 23: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Of the – more than – 17,000 chemicals that appear in common household products, only 30% of them have been adequately tested for negative

effects on our health.

The FDA cannot review or approve of personal care product ingredients before they are sold to

the public.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has linked over 150 Household chemicals to:

Allergies Birth defects

Cancer Psychological abnormalities

23

Page 24: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Some more suggestions: Continue to educate yourself and tell others….

There are healthy solutions to the

problems that today'’ families face…

Look for: An Air Purification System that will purify the air in your home, effectively reducing molds, bacteria, gases, sub-micron particulates (that conventional filtration cannot remove)

A Water Purification System that will remove chlorine, flouride and other harmful substances and give you family delicious tasting water. Look for a Reverse Osmosis System to effectively reduce flouride.

24

Page 25: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Look for

Healthy and Effective Personal Care Products that have been proven to never harm a living cell.

Highly effective household cleaners, laundry products that protect your children, and the environment

Organic Food Supplements from a company that can prove, through scientific research that they are absorbed into the blood stream in the amounts listed on the label. “Non-Natural” or synthetic “vitamins” won’t feed the brain, the immune system, or help build healthy cells.

25

Page 26: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Other suggestions…. Encourage Good Eating Habits:

Fresh Fruits and Veggies every single day.

Daily Exercise!!

TV OFF during meals – Eat together at the table.

Make sure your kids get plenty of sleep!!! (the body grows and heals during sleep)

Routine Bedtime and naps are

good for everybody!

26

Page 27: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

Adding Food Supplements .

There are just too many nutritional gaps in our diets. We would have to eat a LOT of “TODAY’S FOOD” to fill those gaps.

We are exposed to lots of stress (which uses up nutrients)

We are exposed to too many chemicals (in food,air, water, personal care, cleaning, laundry products, etc.) We are “drowning in a sea of chemicals”…This puts enormous strain on the body

which requires even more nutrition to try to balance the system.

makes sense for everyoneWhen we’re exposed to toxins, bacteria, viruses, etc…

27

Page 28: Growing Healthy Kids Presentation

What is a good Nutritional Supplement Program for Children?

• The best quality soy protein you can find: Organic, water-washed, living enzyme soy protein powder. Most on the market are alcohol-washed which destroys the living enzymes. • Organic food supplements, NOT synthetic, drug store or health food store type “vitamins”. The cells of the body must eat FOOD. That’s why a food supplement works so well. Taking synthetic vitamins are like eating a plastic orange.

Food supplements that are alive with living enzymes. The company must have a process that keeps the food enzymes alive.

28

And help us and our kids build a Strong Immune System, a healthy & energetic

body and a bright & peaceful mind.

Most people are already using products like the ones that Shaklee makes.

Household Cleaners, Cosmetics, Skin Care, Vitamins, Diet Products, Herbal Medicines,

Laxatives, Calcium, Deodorant, Toothpaste, Sports Drinks, Bottled Water,

etc…. As we’ve seen, these types of products from the grocery store, drug store, discount store, etc. contain harmful

chemicals. Ask yourself – are the vitamins you are presently taking giving you the best value for the money you are

spending? Are you saving money on those products because they’re concentrated so that you use less to do

more? Does the store where you purchase them give you a discount or a bonus because you refer your friends to shop

there? “Changing Brands” makes good sense for you and your family. It can save you money and put money back into your pocket also…..

39
