Our Kids Are At The Highest Risk
One of my favorite authors is Sherry Rogers, M.D.. I highly recommend her new book, "Detoxify or Die." It's an eye opener on how to be healthy in today's environment.
Our children are very susceptible to environmental toxins. In fact many of them have acquired continual toxic exposures in utero from their mother's. This is because for many toxins, the placenta will pull them out of the mother's body and concentrate them in the fetus. By the time the child is born, they may already have a significant load. Undoubtedly, these toxins have much to do with the exponential rise in ADD/ADHD, childhood obesity, diabetes , depression, suicide, autism and childhood cancer . The toxins in pesticides, dioxins, PCBs, arsenic, mercury, etc harm all cells in the developing brain and other organs . This contributes to learning and behavior difficulties, blood sugar problems, appetite disturbances and others.
While pregnant be careful what you eat and what you allow around you. Once you have delivered your baby, your child 's diet and environment are extremely important to o for their continued health . Don't fall into the trap of fast food, donuts, soda pop, sugared cereal and white bread. Don't let anyone use pesticides in your work place or home.
I challenge you and your children to go off of all sugar (including honey and all artificial sweeteners) and white flour products for one week. After the first few days of "sugar blues" I'll bet you feel like a different person.
One of the best ways to detoxify your body is through a sauna and vitamin program. The most scientifically advanced method of doing this is available to everyone. Even the N.Y. firefighters are using this method to detoxify from the chemical exposures they got during 911. See www.nydetox.com For more information go to www.clearbodyclearmind.org .
