Kids are facing greater health threats today than ever before in history. Chronic illness in kids has been statistically trending up sharply in the last 5 years. Here at Foundations Wellness, we see more and more children and teens with very difficult chronic illnesses every year. It NEVER ceases to amaze me what diagnoses these kids are receiving and coming into our office with…
The Problem
I call this generation Gen P – those who have been slowly and invisibly poisoned by man-made chemicals and other toxins.
We see an increasing number of conditions, including:
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic fatigue
- Chronic migraine
- IBS
- Many different mitochondrial disorders
- Autoimmune conditions of all types
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Eczema
- ADD, ADHD
- Sensory integration disorders
- Autism spectrum disorders
- Anxiety disorders
- Behavioral disorders of all types
- Delays in development, sometimes severe
- Depression
- Rare genetic diseases
- Vaccine injury
THE LIST GOES ON…
The Cause
What is happening to skyrocket these major chronic illnesses and autoimmunity in our children?
We have piles of published research linking allergies, asthma, eczema, autoimmunity, and many difficult illnesses to pesticides and herbicides alone. Many published studies link BPA, phthalates, parabens, PFAS, pesticides and herbicides, mold, and heavy metals to hormone disruption, infertility, and many hormonal disorders. Solvents and volatile organic compounds can create serious illnesses in genetically susceptible children. When we review lab results with our clients every single day we simply cannot believe the levels of these chemicals we are seeing in the urine tests of both children and adults.
Exposures in our air, water, and food are increasing all the time due to these chemicals. So if it's well documented in scientific papers that chemical toxins are making us sick, why are our doctors not even looking for them in our bodies? Or looking for their known effects?
Early Warning Signs
What if we, as parents and healthcare workers, figured out that we could identify early signs of chemical toxicity in our children?
As a mom and a grandma, I am passionate about early intervention for our kids. Why wait for a full-blown illness, which takes a lot more to turn around when we can test and intervene at the first signs of any concerns? These signs can include:
- Reflux
- Constipation
- Complaints of ongoing/recurrent belly pains
- Colic or irritability
- Recurrent unexplained fevers and other unexplained symptoms
- Hypersensitive to light, sound, taste, or smell
- Developmental delays
- Neurological delays
- Unexplained Anxiety
- Recurrent Poor sleep
- Recurrent Poor eating habits, even when presented with nutritious foods
- Getting sick a lot
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Eczema
- Unusual behavioral issues
- Many sinus or ear infections
- Headaches
- Food reactions and allergies
The Solution
When we help parents understand what their children's labs are telling them, the good news is that NOW we have an action plan for removing these stored chemicals and more importantly, stop the inflow of them from the many sources in our daily lives. This one step alone can make such a huge improvement in many chronic illness symptoms!
If we could identify these signs and take action early on, we could prevent our children from receiving a diagnosis we don't want them to have! Book online or call our office today (513) 301-7406 to learn more about our Initial Consultation for kids!
