Landrigan, MD, MSc, a pediatrician, epidemiologist, and internationally recognized leader in public health and preventive medicine. He is currently the Ethel H. Wise Professor of Pediatrics, Chair of Community and Preventative Medicine, and Director of the Children's Environmental Health Center at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

Patterns of illness in American children have changed dramatically in this century. The ancient infectious diseases have largely been controlled. The major diseases confronting children now are chronic and disabling conditions:

a.. Asthma<http://www.webmd. com/asthma/ guide/children- asthma> incidence has more than doubled;

b.. Leukemia<http://www.webmd. com/cancer/ tc/leukemia- topic-overview> and brain cancer<http://www.webmd. com/cancer/ tc/ncicdr0000552 550-general- information- about-childhood- central-nervous- system-embryonal -tumors> have increased in incidence, brain cancer by nearly 40% over the past three decades;

c.. Neurodevelopmental dysfunction is widespread;

d.. Incidence of hypospadias<http://children. webmd.com/ tc/hypospadias- topic-overview>, a birth defect of the reproductive organs in baby boys, has doubled.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Chemical toxicants<http://www.webmd. com/allergies/ tc/environmental -illness- toxins-in- our-environment> are known and suspected to contribute to causation of these pediatric diseases. They deserve great attention because they are generally preventable sources of harm. Children are at risk of exposure to over 15,000 high-production- volume synthetic chemicals, nearly all of them developed in the past 50 years. These chemicals are used widely in consumer products and are dispersed in the environment. More than half are untested for toxicity.

Children are especially sensitive to environmental toxins.

a.. Pound for pound of body weight, children have greater exposure to pesticides because they drink more water, eat more food and breathe more air than adults.

b.. Their unique behaviors put them at higher risk. They live and play close to the floor; and they constantly put their fingers into their mouths.

c.. Children's metabolic pathways, especially in the first months after birth are immature. Generally they are less well able to metabolize, detoxify, and excrete toxicants than adults and thus are more vulnerable to them.

d.. Children are undergoing rapid growth and development, and their developmental processes are easily disrupted. From conception and throughout fetal development, exquisitely small toxin exposures can cause permanent impacts.

e.. Since children have more future years of life than most adults, they have more time to develop chronic diseases that may be triggered by early exposures.

Our children are our future. Our responsibility as the adults of our society is to care for our children, protect their health, and guide them to successful adulthood. One of the simplest steps parents can take is to create a healthy home. Get started today.

Get a Healthy Body

Our Bodies were not made to inhale or absorb the toxic products that we buy everyday from the retail world. To get a healthy body you need to be aware of what your body is receiving.  The manufactures of today, the FDA and EPA do not care what you use or how it may in the long run make you sick or even kill you!

This is how you get a healthy body and the path that lead me there.  Here is my story about 12 years ago I just had a baby girl, plus I had 2 small boys at that time.  She had complications but with in  3 years we were out of the worry of if she could be strong enough.

During that time I had started feeling really tired even though I was eating and resting properly I still felt sickly.   The Doctors told me that it was postpartum.  Which  I knew it wasn't, then about 2 years later they find out that it was  B-12 deficiency or prenicious anemia, which can cause different effects in each person.  They gave me a blood transfusion, oxygen and began to give me B-12 shots that brought it up from a negative 300 to a -250 still trying to get it up. ( you are suppose to be a positive 500).  Then 6 months later they found a rare tumor in my ovary and it was cancerous, so they  were told by mayo clinic to do a total hysterectomy due to the type of tumor I had so that it would not spread.   The surgery went well and afterward showed no cancer cell in my body.  I am so thankful.

By this time I was still was having problems with standing and walking as i was having horrible spasms in my lower back and which was effecting my legs.  I saw a lot of doctors and one Doctor told me to get rid of all of the toxic products in my home and let the body heal it self.

This how I got back my healthy body. I took his advice and found a company that had great vitamins that brought my B-12 to a positive 265 and it certainly amazed the doctors of how my body's immune system was getting better.  I have been in pain and I have found a natural way to help with that pain and now I am getting off of some of my medications that I was taking with my Doctors help.

To get a healthy body it is every important to take care of yourself, especially MOMs, as we always want to help everyone else but let ourselves go. I want to share with others that there is another way other than medications that can help.  I have found out the hard way but am glad that it is there.  With Medicine there are so many side effects and I usually had them but with the natural way there is not incase you are allergic to plants .

Check out the products I use.  It may be your way to get a healthy body too.
