Children can't learn well if they
are not healthy. Learning disabilities and behavior problems are
often linked to health problems. Hypoglycemia,
Generally speaking, American health is declining. Millions of
children suffer from diabetes, from cancer, from overweight.
Children's dental health is so poor that a whole new industry of
pediatric dentistry has sprung up. The
most common childhood allergy is to dairy, and many doctors are now telling us
that milk is not a good food for humans. Dairy consumption in
children is also linked to diabetes and cancer. The most obvious
sign of a poorly nourished child is the drop in blood sugar shortly
after a meal. If you observe carefully, you can learn to see these
blood sugar drops; you'll notice behavior changes in your child. We
believe that most children's health problems are cause by the poor
quality of the typical American diet, the lack of fresh fruits and
vegetables and whole grains and the consumption of high quantities of
animal proteins and fats and of chemical food additives. If you
agree, you may want to make a study of nutrition a high priority. We
recommend a plant-based diet free of processed foods and all animal fats
and proteins (meat, milk, cheese, eggs, and additives derived from these
sources). For

Vaccines
The rate of autism in America has risen 500% over the past few years.
Autistic children are miserable, as are their parents. Their homes
are forever without peace. The cost to the family and the
taxpayers is estimated at $2million. The drug companies
insist that the benefits of vaccines outweigh the risks; however, they aren't the ones taking the
risks! The
drug companies make billions of dollars on vaccines and have many, many
more being developed. They insist that autism and other
health problems are not connected to
vaccines and have conducted their own research to "prove"
it. Many mothers, however, testify that their children were
perfectly normal before vaccines. In any case, parents should
study this issue carefully. We suggest: The

Learning
Disabilities
Many parents find that learning disabilities can be cleared up over time with proper
nutrition and home schooling, both much safer choices than putting
children on medications. Utah has the highest number of
children in the world on Ritalin, a drug similar to LSD. We now
have increasing numbers of children being prescribed Prozac, a drug that
is not approved for children. For more information:

Sudden withdrawal from these drugs is
very likely to cause severe, dangerous reactions.
Do not remove your child from these drugs
suddenly or without professional help. The
