"Whole Foods is another place to find organic cotton clothing at extremely reasonable prices. The selection might not be as extensive as in some of these online catalogs, but for people who live near a Whole Foods, the convenience can't be beat. Important Legislation Many of these bills would never even have been introduced without the support of parents like you and me. While several important bills have been passed in recent years, we have more work to do on the legislative level for our kids. To bring these important changes to your community, write or email your congressman." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This!

"Earthpak (www.earthpak.com) makes backpacks, computer bags, and duffel bags from recycled plastic bottles, and Eco Goods (www.ecogoods.com) has a few nice organic cotton and hemp socks, sandals, and jeans. Textbook Swaps At the end of the year, start a textbook recycling program for the books your kids won't use again. We spend an insane amount on required-reading texts for schools and very often dispose of those books at the end of the school year, while younger kids are going out and buying the exact same books! It's a huge waste of resources and money." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Greening Your Kitchen In my family, we all love spending time in the kitchen. Cooking, eating, or just hanging out—we all just somehow gravitate to the kitchen. A green kitchen is an even more enjoyable place to spend time. You don't have to hire a contractor or spend a lot of money to transform your kitchen into a greener, healthier space.

"Mother may go to fast-food restaurants, eating French fries, hamburgers, milk shakes, Coca-Cola. "Baby lives on mother's blood. So baby inside mother's womb is growing on this diet, which is very weakening. baby is born very big, fat, and weak. "So-called baby boomers, children born after World War Two and in the 1950s, these babies got plenty of sugar, refined foods, chemicals, and fat from mother's diet. "When baby is born, what does mother give baby? Cow's milk. Whole generation of mothers in 1940s and 1950s were told that mother's milk is inferior to cow's milk." - Tom Monte, The Way of Hope: Michio Kushi's Anti-Aids program (Get the book.)

"Infantile colic is common, occurring in approximately one in ten babies, starting between the first and sixth week of life and usually continuing until the child is three or four months old. The baby usually cries, turns red in the face, may pass gas, clench his fists, and draw up his legs. If the baby runs a fever or becomes ill with bouts of colic, a doctor should be consulted. Overstimulation, rapid environmental changes, and parents' anxiety will often make the child even more irritable. Recommendations include creating a calm, quiet environment during and following mealtimes." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"In 1892, Freud published a case in the medical literature on his use of hypnotic suggestion to treat a woman who had a newborn infant and had developed simultaneously an aversion to all food and to nursing her baby: I made use of suggestion to contradict all her fears and the feelings on which those fears were based: "Have no fear! You will make an excellent nurse and the baby will thrive. Your stomach is perfectly quiet, your appetite is excellent, you are looking forward to your next meal," and suchlike." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"Cow milk is for baby cows and human milk is for baby humans. Take a 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium. Typical daily dosage would be 800 to 1200 mgs of calcium and 400 to 600 mgs of magnesium. It is best to split this into two or three doses throughout the day. Calcium citrate or hydroxyapatite is a better form of calcium for bone building. Enzymes for Lactose Digestion Enzymatic lactase supplementation may help those with lactose intolerance. It replaces the enzyme that is lacking. Take a pill right when you sit down to eat a meal that contains dairy products." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"For example, when a baby cries, most people in close proximity will either want to pick up the baby or have someone else pick up the baby in order to comfort it ?or so they think. What is really going on, however, is that when a baby cries, the part of us that also wants to cry reawakens and reminds us of our own unexpressed fear and pain. Since we are taught that it is inappropriate and impolite to have and express our feelings, we usually pick up the baby and give it a breast or a bottle in order to suppress its feelings." - Jacob Liberman O.D.

"I'll never forget a forty-three-year-old patient, Doris Ellings, who arrived in my office with the surprising and happy news that she was pregnant. The baby changed her whole attitude about herself and her illness. Although Mrs. Ellings wasn't well, her symptoms diminished in intensity. Granted, nothing could be more distracting than a baby, and not every patient with chronic pain or fatigue will find herself prepared for pregnancy and childbirth." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Although her mother believes that the medical records exaggerated what she had told the doctor, Willow may have also made threats about harming the unborn baby. In her competitive need for her attention, Willow's reactions were more characteristic of a child much younger than age thirteen; but her mother asserts that she never felt that Willow would hurt the baby. Feeling overwhelmed by family pressures and conflicts, Mrs. Barlow brought Willow back to the neurologist who had diagnosed her with ADHD as a small child." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Animal studies have shown that "Insulin resistance, a precursor of type 2 diabetes, can be passed from an expectant mother to her child, and even worse, can alter the insulin sensitivity of the baby's eggs, thus possibly affecting the developing baby, and could affect that baby's children as well" (Ron Rosedale, The Rosedale Diet, 2004, p. 35). This could be one reason why it is quite common for obese parents to have chubby children. They appear to have more fat cells than other children, at a very young age, which appears to contribute to insulin resistance." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"At birth a baboon's brain is about seventy percent of its adult weight, while a human baby's brain is twentyfive percent of its adult weight. Human children have the longest infancy in the animal kingdom; they are not as competent and independent as baby baboons or baby chimps. Within a day, baby baboons can hold onto their mothers by themselves. The human child is immature for a very long period, for several years instead of a few months. The baby is helpless and will die if not taken care of." - Robert Ornstein, David Sobel, The Healing Brain: Breakthrough Discoveries About How the Brain Keeps Us Healthy (Get the book.)

"After birth, when the baby begins to breathe on its own, the Lung Driver field is activated. 1 As the baby develops after birth, other Energetic Driver fields—such as those for the stomach, muscles, and skin—are activated. Figure 12.1. The sixteen Energetic Driver fields arise from organs more or less following fetal development, with some not becoming fully functional until after birth. one first and following the numbered sequence. For example, suppose that your NES scan showed Energetic Driver 13 as the most distorted Driver, followed by Energetic Drivers 3, 1, and 14." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Peoc'h carried out a similar study with baby rabbits. He placed a bright light on the moveable REG that the baby rabbits found abhorrent. When the data from the experiment were analyzed, it appeared that the rabbits were successfully willing the machine to stay away from them. Jahn and Dunne began to formulate a theory. If reality resulted from some elaborate interaction of consciousness with its environment, then consciousness, like subatomic particles of matter, might also be based on a system of probabilities." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"God sent Gabriel down to give him milk to drink, and the angel made it to flow from the little finger of the baby's right hand, and he sucked it until he was ten days old. Then he arose and walked about, and he left the cave and went along the edge of the valley. When the sun sank, and the stars came forth, he said, 'These are the gods!' But the dawn came, and the stars could be seen no longer, and then he said, 'I will not pay worship to these, for they are no gods.' Thereupon the sun came forth, and he spoke, 'This is my god, him will I extol." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"Choose from convenient prewashed, packaged veggies in the produce section, such as baby carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and green beans. Eat them plain or with fat-free yogurt dips from the meal plan, or try dipping them in store-bought hummus, fat-free bean dip, or fat-free salsa that you've packed in a small container. Consider purchasing a special container designed to hold a salad and a specific amount of dressing. Put packaged grated carrots, coleslaw, or broccoli and baby spinach and other greens in the bottom section and fill the top with 2 capfuls of Newman's Own Light Italian Dressing." - David L. Katz, Catherine S. Katz, Dr. David Katz's Flavor-Full Diet: Use Your Tastebuds to Lose Pounds and Inches with this Scientifically Proven Plan (Get the book.)

"Wild chimps love fresh baby monkey meat. So?? The bottom line is that eating small amounts of meat, chicken, or fish probably comes down mostly to a personal choice. If you choose to, you can eat 3 ounces a day, or less, of meat without any significant health problems—with the following provisos: • Keep the amount small? ounces a day or less." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "Anyway, the net result is that in a breast-fed baby, beneficial bacteria (such as bifidobacteria) control over 90% of the intestinal tract. These microor-¦ganisms, in turn, produce a large amount of essential byproducts in the intestines, which act as a barrier to the growth of dangerous pathogenic microbes that can cause disease and infection. When you are healthy, over 100 trillion microorganisms from some 400 different species flourish in your intestinal tract, aiding in digestion, absorption, and the production of significant amounts of B vitamins and enzymes." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"WHY MILK MATTERS It seems that my generation, the baby boomers, grew up without the beverage monopoly we call the soda business in full force like it is today. As kids, many of us drank milk at every meal. Frankly, I don't even remember having soda every day. I think it was reserved for parties or the occasional trip to the golden arches or downtown diner. What's been happening to dairy consumption lately? While whole milk and butter consumption have gone down, cheese and premium ice cream are rising. Are we trading one high-fat dairy food for another?" - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Having cracked the mystery of human nutrition, Liebig went on to develop a meat extract—Liebig's Extractum Car-nis—that has come down to us as bouillon and concocted the first baby formula, consisting of cow's milk, wheat flour, malted flour, and potassium bicarbonate. Liebig, the father of modern nutritional science, had driven food into a corner and forced it to yield its chemical secrets. But the post-Liebig consensus that science now pretty much knew what was going on in food didn't last long." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Epidemiological studies have linked nuts not only to a significantly reduced risk of dying from heart disease but also to overall longevity. As a baby boomer who is closing in on 50, that sounds pretty good to me. Antioxidant-rich almonds. It's practically common knowledge that fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants, but did you know that many nuts are, too? A recent study concluded that in terms of antioxidant content, almonds are right up there with produce." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "While certain ethnic groups are at increased risk for diabetes, the following factors can raise anyone's risk: family history, being obese or significantly overweight, sedentary lifestyle, being over 45, having a history of gestational diabetes, or giving birth to a 9-pound or bigger baby. FOODS THAT FIGHT DIABETES In general, diabetes research has found that many of the basic elements of a healthy diet—whole grains, fruits and vegetables, beans and legumes, and low-fat dairy—may also have a significant impact on diabetes." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Of course the operative nutritionist assumption here is that we know enough to determine nutritional equivalence—something that the checkered history of baby formula suggests has never been the case. Nutritionism had become the official ideology of the Food and Drug Administration; for all practical purposes the government had redefined foods as nothing more than the sum of their recognized nutrients. Adulteration had been repositioned as food science." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"TX^ In fact' tne thymus of a newborn baby is the same size as the 3t baby's heart! s Spleen. While it's on the lookout for foreign cells, the spleen filters the blood of old red blood cells in need of replacement. When an invader is detected in the blood stream, the spleen, along with the lymph nodes, jump in to action and produce an army of defender cells-o/ue print spec/Wc-for that invader.

"Most of the health benefits derived from food synergy are long-term, and they're powerful, helping to prevent major chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and stroke. With baby boomers hitting their fifties (I'm a member of this distinguished group), this new way of looking at things through the lens of food synergy seems perfectly timed. Of course, while the need to know more is strong and growing stronger, it's important to recognize that there's still a great deal to learn." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"If the baby runs a fever or becomes ill with bouts of colic, a doctor should be consulted. Overstimulation, rapid environmental changes, and parents' anxiety will often make the child even more irritable. Recommendations include creating a calm, quiet environment during and following mealtimes. Nursing mothers should not eat foods that may be contributing to gastrointestinal irritability in their infants, such as dairy products, onions, wheat, and broccoli. Administering digestive enzymes to the infant and mother before feeding times may also be highly beneficial." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"These vital organisms protect the baby from gastrointestinal infections that can result in illnesses severe enough to require hospitalization and sometimes cause death. Mother's milk contains sugars (galactooligosaccharides) that encourage the growth of these friendly bacteria. By the fourth day of life, Bifidobacterium represent 48 percent of the bacteria in breastfed infants as opposed to 15 percent in bottle-fed infants. Eventually, over 95 percent of the bacteria become Bifidobacterium bacteria in an exclusively breast-fed baby." - John A. McDougall, Dr. McDougall's Digestive Tune-Up (Get the book.)
