Can #antibiotic use #harm our #children? #Research says the #dangers are #real

(NaturalHealth365) Tragically, the number of children in the United States living with autism, ADHD, asthma, and allergies (the 4 A’s) has increased over the years.  Many parents whose children suffer from these chronic conditions report frequent use of antibiotics during the early stages of their children’s lives.  In fact, a study confirmed a link between antibiotic use during the first year of life and the development of asthma.

Researchers published their findings in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine and revealed that impaired viral immunity and genetic variants on a region of chromosome 17 increase the risk of antibiotic use in early life, leading to later development of asthma.  However, other research challenges this finding.

It’s time to shed light on the long-term risks of antibiotic use in children

In the same issue of The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, scientists reported that the link between asthma

"She has a remarkable ability to engage in a task. We use her as a model for the other kids, to show them what we want out of the journaling project," said my daughter's nursery school teachers as we sat together on diminutive, paint-splotched furniture. Rather than feeling self-satisfaction at her stellar "performance," my mind wandered to the greater issue at hand here: what is happening to children, how are we being manipulated by industry to interpret it, and how can awareness be raised around better solutions other than ADHD medications for kids.

A candid and uncharacteristically provocative piece entitled the Selling of Attention Deficit Disorder ran in the NY Times, as part of an effort to raise this awareness. The article discusses the making of an epidemic, much as Robert Whitaker, author of Anatomy of an Epidemic and host of Mad in America, has in his efforts to expose the manufacturing of a profit-driven machine into which our children are being fed. The Times article begins with a bird's eye view of the alarming statistics:

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that the diagnosis had been made in 15 percent of

Study Shows #Fluoride Causes #Autism, #Dyslexia, #ADHD…

Fluoride is one to the most heavily ingested neurotoxins on earth. It is branded on children’s toothpaste in plain sight. The marketing by pro-Fluoride groups, such as the American Dental Association, is strong. In fact, the ADA has a page dedicated to Fluoride named Fluoride in Water is Safe and it Works. And well yes, Fluoride is in our water supply. Our God-given resource which should be shared amongst us all is drugged by profiteers. We create disease then we profit from treating that disease until it is never cured. We are unwittingly infecting our children with Neurodevelopmental disabilities.

In 2014, a landmark study showed that Fluoride causes a range of Neurodevelopmental disabilities. The study had previously shown a series of chemicals,  lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, arsenic, and toluene, to be culprits in neurotoxicity. However, a later study added Fluoride to the list.

Neurodevelopmental disabilities, including autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, and other cognitive impairments, affect millions of children worldwide, and some diagnoses seem to be increasing in frequency. Industrial chemicals that injure the developing brain are among the known causes for this rise in prevalence. In 2006, we did a systematic review and identified five industrial chemicals as developmental neurotoxicants: lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, arsenic, and toluene. Since 2006, epidemiological studies have documented six additional developmental neurotoxicants—manganese, fluoride, chlorpyrifos, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, tetrachloroethylene, and the polybrominated diphenyl ethers. We postulate that even more neurotoxicants remain undiscovered. To control the pandemic of developmental neurotoxicity, we propose a global prevention strategy. Untested chemicals should not be presumed to be safe to brain development, and chemicals in existing use and all new chemicals must therefore be tested for developmental neurotoxicity. To coordinate these efforts and to accelerate translation of science into prevention, we propose the urgent formation of a new international clearinghouse.

I want to take a step back at this point so that everyone can understand something: Fluoride and Arsenic are revealed as toxic for our brains in the same study. No one in their right mind would drink arsenic. So why then does Fluoride get this insane safe harbor from our Government? Because it is a business.

One theory with Fluoride is that it is a waste by-product from the manufacturing industry. For example, excess Fluoride goes to waste when manufacturing fertilizer. In this theory, the Fluoride,
