Autism, Asthma, ADHD, Apraxia, ADD, Ancisety, Allergies and that’s just the “A’s”:  What are kids so sick and what parents can do?

1 in 50 if not more children have autism.

Why the increase in Autism?
  • Environmental toxicity alters genetics
  • Gene mutations increase our susceptibility to toxins - affects nervous system
  • Immune system goes haywire
  • Endocrine system becomes dysfunctional
  • Brain function suffers

Other issues
  • Immediate vaccines followed by overloaded schedule
  • Antibiotics
  • Antacid meds
  • Allergic foods
  • Milk - it does a body good

Then you plug your child in
  • iPhone
  • iPod
  • iTV
  • No TV until age 2
  • Videos for children are probably detrimental
