"Fluoride is a potent toxin' that accumulates (about 50% a day for adults and 75% a day for children) in the body. Each exposure stays in youi body and adds to the accumulated levels. And that's the key. We are constantly being exposed to high levels of fluoride other than in our watet. It is in our toothpaste.2 It is sprayed on our food/ It is present in pharmaceutical drugs ranging from birth control pills to antibiotics. It is in soda pop, which is manufactured from fluoridated water." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Following the recent lead-toys scare, some parents are asking for tests every three to six months for children under the age of five. For more information and resources, visit www.leadsafenj.org. The Lessons of Lead While we still have an enormous amount to learn about how chemicals influence children's health, everything we do know "started with lead," said Dr. Phil Landrigan. "Lead has caused so much disease and so much misery in kids in this country and around the world." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Fifth stage Ensure that you and your family know the procedures to follow in the event of an attack. for children, ensure the school also knows. Carry with you at all times your medication, instructions about what to do in the event of a severe attack and specific instructions if hospitalisation is necessary. Sixth stage Evaluate your condition on a regular basis and consult frequently with your health practitioner. Keep up to date with latest asthma developments." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"This same program has also been extremely successful for children with ADHD, asthma, and life-threatening allergies. These four disorders-the 4-A disorders-are the new childhood epidemics. All four can destroy children's lives. Just when modern medicine had almost eradicated the traditional childhood epidemics of measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, polio, and tetanus, these even more insidious new disorders began to haunt our children with unprecedented occurrence. The end of one set of epidemics and the beginning of the other was not a coincidence." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Finally, parents may like to introduce their children to some alternative therapies to see if they respond; we have indicated in Part Two of this book if any therapy is not suitable for children. Will My Child Develop Asthma? If you or your partner is asthmatic you may worry that your child is likely to be asthmatic also." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"So ask your pediatrician about FluMist, which is now approved for children as young as twenty-four months. If your child absolutely must get vaccinated for the flu, just make sure the vaccine is thimero-sal-free. Always review the vaccine packaging before immunizing your children. Ask to see the package insert and really look at that little sheet of paper that's folded up about six times in the box. You'll find a paragraph that tells you what exactly is in the vaccine—if it contains thimerosal, or aluminum, or any other preservative. It's really easy to read." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "A more practical solution, he said, is "to incorporate some regular, routine way for children to destress during each and every day. It doesn't have to be another scheduled activity, though yoga classes are popular, but simply a quick and easy method for relaxation. I teach many of my patients an easy, five-minute breathing exercise they can practice at home. Turn off the TV, unplug the video games, and enjoy some quiet time; that's my prescription for a well-balanced start to the school year." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Frederica Perera, the director of Columbia University's Center for Children's Environmental Health and an internationally recognized leader in researching the environmental causes of cancer and developmental disorders, agreed. "Genes alone do not explain these increases," she said, "but they do play a role with the other factors. We have to think about all of these factors together." In other words, to understand the root cause of these childhood health problems, we must evaluate both genes and the environment, a category Dr." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Centuries after the events described in this chapter, a book of instruction for children written in the fourteenth century B.C. described the New Kingdom pharaoh Amenhotep III as "Perception, which is in your hearts, and his eyes search out everybody. He is Re by whose beams one sees. He illuminates the Two Lands [Upper and Lower Egypt] more than the sun. He makes the Two Lands more verdant than does a high Nile. For he has fdled the Two Lands with strength and life." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Family therapy reduces the relapse rate in patients with schizophrenia to the same degree—50 percent—as antipsychotic medications.29 for children with anxiety and depressive disorders, intensive psychoanalytic treatment at four to five times per week was more efficacious than therapy one to three times per week. Also, the longer the duration of the treatment, the better the outcome.30 In general, social support, whatever its form, is critical to healing." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"Turbuhalers, Rotahalers and Diskhalers are particularly suitable for children. Babies and toddlers can't use inhalers themselves, but they can be given drugs through a spacer, where a mask is put over their face and the parent introduces the vapour at the other end. An alternative is to give infants syrup containing drugs. Although easy to give to a small child, the syrup has two disadvantages: it is slower to act, having to work through the stomach into the blood system before it is of use, and it has to be given in larger quantities than the inhaled drugs." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Regular consumption of soy products makes sense for most people—but not for children, and particularly not for infants, because of the high level of phytoestrogens in soy. Balancing Hormone Levels in the Body In a perfect world, there would be no need to address this aspect of health at all, but the world we live in is far from perfect. Again, diet, stress, and environmental factors are constantly working to throw our bodies out of balance. Specifically, we need to address the following problem areas." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation Transcutaneous nerve stimulation is not suitable for children. A transcutaneous nerve stimulator (TNS) is a small battery-powered machine which sends extremely weak electrical impulses through the skin via a pair of rubber pads to activate the nerves that block out pain. The concept is not new, but the machine is. Originally a Roman doctor placed a patient's swollen foot on a live electric eel to treat gout!" - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Special "flavored" SSRIs are now in development just for children. The Herbal Solution For the vast majority of people bothered by stress or depression, there is a safe, effective solution. A well-designed herbal formula made from high-quality herbs and that makes use of the complementary synergies inherent in many herbs can prove remarkably effective. Look for an herbal formula that contains herbs such as: • Valerian root. For centuries, Valerian has been used to tteat nervous tension and panic attacks. A wonderful herb, Valerian is calming and quieting to the nervous system." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Zyprexa is heavily promoted by the TeenScreen program, a model program of the Bush administration's national mental-health plan for children. TeenScreen uses simplistic questionnaires to promote the use of powerful and expensive drugs like Zyprexa, in essence advocating an off-label use of dangerous drugs for children with mood fluctuations. Eli Lilly and other drug companies actually sponsored the development of these questionnaires in order to sell their drugs to children! Drug companies are not allowed to promote the sale of a drug for any other reason than its approved use." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"Using supplements designed for children, follow dosing guidelines on the side of the supplement packet to get the appropriate level of nutrients for your child. Diet We are what we eat. This is particularly true for children. With time at a premium, it can be only too easy to give children the food they so crave, the highly processed, sugar- and fat-filled variety. As a parent it is up to you to ensure that they get as much fresh and uncooked fruits and vegetables as possible. This is particularly important for children with diseases like autism." - Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton, Toxic Overload: A Doctor's Plan for Combating the Illnesses Caused by Chemicals in Our Foods, Our Homes, and Our Medicine Cabinets (Get the book.)

"Animal studies show that quinolones can have effects on cartilage in young animals; these drugs are therefore not recommended for children. Fluoroquinolones also have been associated with the development of joint pain, cartilage damage, and even tendon rupture. SULFONAMIDES The sulfonamide (sulfa) drugs, which are used to treat urinary tract infections, include sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (Septra, Bactrim), sul-fisoxazole (Novosoxazole), and sulfasalazine (Azulfidine)." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"At the second public hearing, the FDA presented reeval-uations of antidepressant clinical trials for children documenting that the suicide risk was doubled in children taking antidepressants compared to similar or the same children taking a sugar pill. The FDA-sponsored study examined all available controlled clinical trials involving the newer antidepressants and children. The agency also reported that only three of the fifteen (20 percent) controlled clinical trials demonstrated any efficacy for antidepressants in children and youth under age eighteen." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Colin Campbell, The China Study) When the data for both the genetically susceptible and non-susceptible are merged, there is an increased risk for children who are weaned and put on cow's milk before three months of approximately 1.5 times, which is approximately a 50 percent increase in incidence of Type-1 diabetes. One additional study in Finland showed that the consumption of cow's milk increased the rate of Type-1 diabetes by 500-600 percent." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "The projections by the Centers for Disease Control for children with Type-2 diabetes is that their life span will be shortened by nineteen years. The treatment of diabetes is further complicated by a belief system stated by the New York Times and backed by most doctors treating diabetes: "Diabetes has no cure. It is progressive and fatal." Even the preliminary results of our research are showing this to be a myth." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Natural Prescription for Autism Vitamin B6: for children, start with a dose of 3.5 mg per day per 2.2 lb body weight and work with a doctor if you use a higher dose. Magnesium: 200 mg Essential fatty acids: 1,000 mg Food allergy testing: Try a hypoallergenic diet and remove all food dyes, colorings, and preservatives.

"Upregulation causes another interesting problem for children of alcoholics. They—and, in my opinion, all sugar-sensitive people?are born with low levels of beta-endorphin, so their brains are normally in an upregulated state to compensate: they have more beta-endorphin receptors than normal. This means they can overreact to any substance that evokes a beta-endorphin response. Let's take a look at one of my clients. Joe, a twelve-year-old son of an alcoholic, has low levels of beta-endorphin." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"Now imagine the effect of this on those for whom ADD is not a lifestyle choice but a real disorder. for children with ADD, whether the inattentive or hyperactive type, digital entertainment makes their condition worse and sabotages efforts to control the symptoms. The truth is that no matter how technology enhances our performance at work or our leisure at home, people who are successful know how to complete tasks—no matter how challenging or time-consuming the tasks may be. We all have to identify the things we think are important and then figure out how to focus our energies into them." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"RDA: 2 to 6 mg for children and 8 to 13 mg for adolescents and adults. Toxicity: excesses may induce a copper deficiency and gastrointestinal disturbances. Tolerable upper intake level is 3 mg for infants ranging up to 40 mg for adults. Deficiency can cause growth retardation and susceptibility to infection in children. Sources: meat, fish, poultry, whole grains, and Brazil nuts. Forms in the body: found in zinc-copper superoxide dismutase. Can be bound to metallothionein or albumin. Main functions: thyroid functions. RDA: adults, 150 meg." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"In fact, according to Wright, hydrochloric acid can be a significant part of the cure for children with asthma. "In hundreds of cases," he says, "I have found that more than 50 percent of children who come to me with asthma can have their wheezing cured by simply normalizing their stomach acid and properly administering vitamin B12, with no bronchodilators and no corticosteroids." Most bacteria can't survive an acidic environment, so killing off acid production creates nirvana for bacteria. Without acid to kill them off, they have a party and reproduce like rabbits." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"One concern with nail polish is that it is often used by even very young girls, and "play" polishes for children abound. To date, Procter & Gamble, Estee Lauder, and several others have eliminated phthalates from their nail polish. (Ingredient labels on nail polish sold in retail stores must now state whether it contains phthalate as an ingredient, although salon nail polish does not have to.) WASH YOUR HANDS!" - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Charles Attwood, who died in 1998, destroyed many of the common myths about the harmful effects of plant-based eating for children and adolescents. Among them: the notions that a child on a plant-based diet won't attain full growth or have enough energy, that he or she won't consume enough calcium, protein, and iron, that controlling obesity and cholesterol can wait until the child is older. Not one of these premises is true. A longtime pediatrician with an extremely busy practice, Dr." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"One of these, Bisphenol A (BPA), mimics the hormone estrogen, yet it is commonly used in polycarbonate baby bottles, cosmetics, and personal care products, and even in some dental sealants for children. A 2007 review of 700 studies involving BPA, published in the journal Reproductive Toxicology, found that infants and fetuses were the most vulnerable to adverse effects from this toxic substance." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "Toxic DEG exposure is of particular concern for children and people with kidney or liver problems. When DEG had been added to cough syrup in Panama, up to 100 people died. (18) The question naturally arises: Why would the FDA pay so much attention to foreign products and foreign manufacturers when it fails to give equal scrutiny to the safety of domestic products? What Is Really In Your Soap and Cleanser?" - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . .
