What can each of us do to change this?

Alarming New Studies: 50% of U.S. Children Have Chronic Disease/Disorders, 21%

Developmentally Disabled

American children are suffering more and more disorders—and are growing into

even sicker adults—the worst of most major countries. Two studies were

released

this week underscore this alarming reality.In a study published in Academic

Pediatrics, an estimated 43% of US children (32 million) currently have at

least 1 of 20 chronic health conditions assessed, increasing to 54.1% when

overweight, obesity, or being at risk for developmental delays are included.

The estimate is derived from 2007 data—4 years old. This tells us matters are

much worse now–perhaps 50% are now chronically ill not counting obesity.

50% seems low to me, nearly every one of my family members under age 15 suffer

from one or more of the following... eczema, asthma, anorexia, acne, chronic

malnutrition, or food 'allergies' (bologney in my opinion).

I've noticed that especially asthma, eczema and food 'allergies' go hand in

hand, with several of my young family members experiencing that specific combo

or 2 of the 3.

Many of them are SAD, or they eat plenty of whole foods but they are

industrially based, ie sams club meat, supermarket dairy, the cheapest store

bought breads, though they also include plenty of ultra refined foods too (as if

the former weren't toxic enough!).

Thanks for posting this!
