Re: Re: Was regarding water now toxic burden

[Guest guest]

This is so true. I am a believer that if toxins are partially responsible

for my kids disorders, then I am sure as heck going to keep them out of

their bodies. I know the Institues of Human Development are addressing this

too. They have a very informative brochure on lessening the toxic burden on

our kids. I mean if I am spending all this time with therapies, biomedical

treatments to help my children overcome all this, then why the heck would I

continue putting toxins in them, on them, etc. I know we can't keep them all

toxic free but we can sure lessen the burden. Its like a smoker that has

lung problems and says well I might as well keep smoking because there is

more toxins out there than I can take care of. We all know that if you quit

smoking, (i.e. putting the toxins directly into your body) then you have a

better chance of recovery.
