Let's take a moment and be awed by the beauty of new life.

When an infant is born, it comes from the relatively sterile environment of the womb into a world that is teeming with potentially harmful germs. At this stage of life the immune system is not fully developed and the infant is highly vulnerable to infection. Fortunately, infants are not born defenseless; mother’s milk contains several substances that protect infants from infections during this critical time. Some protection comes from the mother’s antibodies in her milk, but perhaps the greatest protection comes from its fat content. Adults also benefit in a similar manner from the antimicrobial properties of fatty acids through the consumption of healthy fats and oils.

This ICIM conference looked at integrative approaches to prenatal optimization, infertility and childhood disorders. The conference was designed to pinpoint specific types of intervention that presented new ideas and effective tools to help patients enjoy a lifetime of well-being and prevention of chronic conditions.

Sub-populations vulnerable to fluoride toxicity include pregnant women and their fetuses, bottle-fed babies and young children, ethic and low income groups, the elderly and those in fragile health. It is time for Schools of Public Health, Schools of Nutrition, and credentialed individuals to go on record with statements of opposition to water and food fluoridation schemes as public harm policies. It is time to abandon misguided good intentions and dated dental dogma. It is time to take action based on evidence of harm.

Depression during pregnancy and after delivery is quite common and can have a huge impact on the baby. Dr. Lake presents the pros and cons of many approaches from referenced research to help new moms.

The Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) is a source for accurate information on nutrition and health. Each year WAPF sponsors a conference to share cutting edge information. Following is a review of the 19th Annual WAPF conference in 2018 including articles on children's health, autism and learning disorders, and vaccines.

Children and adolescents with ADHD should be checked for deficiencies in zinc, iron and omega-3s. There is emerging evidence that select botanicals may be effective against ADHD. For example, preliminary findings suggest that some compound herbal formulas used in Chinese medicine may reduce symptoms on ADHD.

Research with high school students shows Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) increases student self-esteem and resilience, and decreases their fear of failure and emotional difficulties. If you have a family member, friend, or student who suffers from stress related anxiety EFT could help.

Most of what parents are told about autism is not accurate or, unfortunately, helpful. Sure, whoever diagnosed your child may have told you the symptoms of autism and how your child’s behaviors matched those symptoms, but I’m not talking about symptoms. I’m talking about the central aspect of what autism is.

Autism is not a behavioral disorder; it is a social-relational disorder. Do our kids behave differently? Sure. But those behaviors are symptoms, not causes. Learn a new approach to help those with Autism, a real life success story that has lead to a treatment center and online training.

Research confirms that gestational diabetes can be linked to autism in the newborn. So what is a mother to do who develops this? Gestational diabetes can be addressed with a simple vitamin supplement. If you know someone who suffers from this, read on.

The Flint Water crisis brought lead levels to the forefront but the problem goes beyond Flint. Unsafe levels of lead have been found in nearly 2,000 communities across the country and many of the most dangerous levels have been found in schools and day care centers. Toxicity can also occur long after exposure has ended. Read about what can be done.

Dr. Gordon Pedersen has put together a chronicle on the cutting edge ability of structured silver solution's ability to safely destroy bacteria, viruses and yeast. Learn the application of silver for many chronic and acute illnesses.

In order to help patients with autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD/ADD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, epilepsy and other so-called mental and neurological conditions, GAP Syndrome, we have to concentrate on treating the patient’s digestive system: we need to re-establish normal gut flora and heal and seal the damaged gut lining.

Food allergy or intolerance can produce any symptom under the sun: from migraines, fatigue, PMS, painful joints, itchy skin to depression, hyperactivity, hallucinations, obsessions and other psychiatric and neurological manifestations. However, the most immediate and common symptoms in the vast majority of patients are digestive problems: pain, diarrhea or constipation, urgency, bloating, or indigestion.

Why are thousands of physicians advising patients to avoid eating GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) and how did these high-risk foods get onto the market in the first place? The answers are disturbing, even shocking, but may help you get healthy and stay healthy.

Once upon a time, all food was organic. Then a war ended and the chemical companies that supplied toxic chemicals to the military no longer had a market. They declared war on bugs and weeds. “Let’s make farming EASIER for the farmers,” they said. “Let’s give them chemicals to spray on the land, the seeds, and the food crops.” They didn’t say “Let’s make the food more nutritious, or safer.” They didn’t test the combination of chemicals on human blood cells. They claimed that testing these chemicals on humans was unethical.

Thanks to coconut oil, a diagnosis of autism is no longer a life sentence. A cure is possible. This new approach is proving to be highly effective at stopping the progression of the disease, significantly improving symptoms, and in many cases even bringing about complete recovery.

The biggest concern parents have about making homemade formula is that it is based on raw milk which, according to medical orthodoxy, is a source of contamination and disease. The only possible way to protect our children, they say, is to be sure the milk is pasteurized. Sally Fallon Morell offers another perspective.

Colostrum, the pre-milk substance that emerges from the mother's breast following the birth of a newborn, is nature's perfect first food. It is a mixture of immune and growth factors as well as important nutrients, all designed to activate newborn's immune system. Numerous studies show that colostrum and its components continue to exert important biological activities also when given to adults.

Is WiFi hazardous to children's health? Eliminating wireless technology in schools is a growing trend in Canada and Europe.

Research done over the last 22 years in Great Britain and New Zealand indicates that Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is an environmental poisoning in the crib.

Developmental disorders in children are typically diagnosed by observing behavior, but Dr. Aditi Shankardass knew that we should be looking directly at their brains. She explains how a remarkable EEG device has revealed mistaken diagnoses and transformed children's lives.
