2. Why Are So
Many Kids Sick?
More U.S. children age 3 – 14 die of cancer than any other
disease.
U.S. leads the world in Juvenile diabetes
70% of U.S. children have elevated cholesterol
In 1996 there were more than 1 million American children on a
daily dose of Ritalin (Newsweek, March 18, 1996)
Asthma deaths in children ages 5 to 15 more than doubled in
the past decade.
As many as 1 in every 3 pregnancies now ends in miscarriage.
(Newsweek, Aug. 15 1988)
Childhood obesity has risen more than 54% since the mid 1960’s
(Dr. W.H. Dietz, Tufts University School of Medicine)
75% of teen’s diets do not meet even the minimum daily
requirements.
99% or Americans are deficient in some critical minerals.
At every socio-economic level, more than 50% are
malnourished. (USDA Joint Task Force, mid 1980’s)

3. Does your child have any of these
symptoms???
Sick a lot
Hard to wake up
Poor attention span
Can’t focus
Wheezing
Poor school performance
Nosebleeds
Hyperactivity
Dark circles under the eyes
Recurrent ear infections
Frequent colds
Allergies
Stomach aches
Headaches
Bed wetting
3
4. Dr. Linus Pauling concluded that
it is possible to dramatically
increase the health, and even the
amount of years a child will live
by Controlling:
What children are exposed to
Environmentally
And
Nutritionally
4
5. Everything a child eats,
Everything they are
exposed to in their air,
and water;
Everything that comes in contact with
their skin...will eventually (and in many
cases immediately) end up in the child’s
blood stream.
This is true for adults too!
Toxic chemicals enter the brain
(confusion, lack of focus, poor memory, headaches,
depression, etc.)
Toxic chemicals enter the liver and other
organs
(can set the stage for cancer, allergies, poor immune system,
miscarriage, reproductive problems. Etc.)
5
6. Today’s kids are exposed to more
toxins than ever before in
Air
Cleaning chemicals in the home; out-gassing
from carpet glue, furniture, synthetic clothing,
thousands of chemicals
Water
Poor water quality a problem in every state in the
U.S.. Water is treated with Flouride and Chlorine.
Both are carcinogens and poisons.
Food
Convenience foods; chemical vitamins, (like
Flintstones)
6
7. The Air In Our Homes
Is Considered To Be One
Of The “Top 5 Health
Concerns”
7
8. According To The EPA.
There are poisons in the air in your home;
Dangerous Household & Personal Care Products
In industry, workers are required to wear special gloves, goggles
and even respirators when using some of the exact same
products found in just about every home. We use these same
chemicals at home with little or not protection or warning.
Debra Lynn Dadd, “Please Protect Yourself From Household Toxics”)
Many poisonings happen slowly by gradual skin absorption and by
daily exposure to toxins in the air in the home.
(Nancy S. Green, “Stop Poisoning Our Children”, The Noble Press, 1991)
Poisons from carpet, furniture, plastics, dry
cleaning, etc.
A baby crawling on the floor breathes the toxin
equivalent of 4 cigarettes a day from molds, mildew,
fungi, outgasing of carpets, dust mites, etc.
(Scientific American)
8
9. Why is our water such a concern?
Every year at least 255 metric tons of
hazardous chemical wastes are dumped into our
nation’s environment. These toxic substances
find their way to the water table.
Many cancer causing chemicals are added to
our drinking water to “clean it up”.
Chlorine is a special problem.
Flouride is added to, supposedly, “prevent
tooth decay”. (a project that has failed miserable, and
causes negative health consequences…..)
9
10. Chlorine is a problem!
“Research indicates the incidence of cancer is
44% higher among those who use chlorinated
water.”
Dr. Robert Harris, environmental scientist, White House
Advisory Council, 1980.
“There is an increased evidence for an
association between rectal, colon and bladder
cancer and chlorinated drinking water.”
President’s Council on Environmental Quality, Dec. 1980
10
11. Flouride is a problem!!
Flouride is a known carcinogen
5% increase of all types of cancers in flouridated water
communities.
Dramatic increase in bone cancers (most especially in young
males exposed to flouride during bone growth).
Flouride does NOT reduce tooth
decay.
In the largest U.S. Study – 39,000 U.S. Public Health dental
records showed virtually NO difference in tooth decay rates
in flouridated vs. non-flouridated communities.
All references from
“Flouridation, a 50 Year Old Blunder”
David Kennedy. DDS
Preventive Dental Health Association
For more information on the negative aspects of flouride, check
out the numerous sites on the internet.
11
12. In addition to drinking pure
water, make sure your child gets
enough water!
75% of Americans are chronically
dehydrated.
Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime
fatigue, and may be the cause of joint and
back pain in adults.
Even mild dehydration can trigger fuzzy
short term memory, or trouble focusing.
Drinking adequate water daily (your body
weight divided by 2 in ounces. 100# person would need
50 ounces daily) decreases
the risk of colon
cancer by 45%; breast cancer by 79%, and
bladder cancer by 50%.
12
13. Pure water flushes poisons out of
our system. It’s the natural
answer for thirst.
Too many juices raise the
blood sugar.
Carbonated Beverages
Cause critically needed calcium to be removed from the body.
Did you know what else “Coke” can be used for?
To clean corrosion from car battery terminals
To remove rust spots from chrome bumpers
To loosen a rusted bolt (apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to
the rusted bolt for several minutes)
Did you know that:
Coke will dissolve a nail in about 4 days
To carry Coca-Cola syrup concentrate the commercial truck
must use the Hazardous material cards reserved for Highly
Corrosive Materials.
13
14. Today’s Food
Food today isn’t always real food.
There are hundreds of chemicals in food (we eat
stuff we can’t even pronounce)
Lots of soils can’t grow healthy food
any more.
(we’ve used too many chemicals and
mis-managed our soil for too many years)
14
15. WAY too much sugar in our
diets…. (ooops)
(per serving…)
10 teaspoons in Raisin Bran
11 teaspoons in strawberry yogurt
3 teaspoons in tomato soup
8 teaspoons in Hi C
The primary ingredient in Flintstone’s
is sugar.
Some Catsups and Peanut Butters
are 25% Sugar.
(Now you know why Your Kids like them so much)
A kid can easily be eating 2 pounds of sugar every
week.
(without ever taking the lid off the sugar bowl)
15
16. Some “Sugar Facts”
It depletes the immune system
(12 tsp. Of sugar will decrease the immune system’s ability to
destroy bacteria by 60%. Start with a breakfast of sugary cereal, a
pop tart, and the immune system is already operating below
optimum.)
It depletes the nervous system. Critical vitamins and
minerals that are needed for the nervous system are used up as
sugar is being processed by the body.
It increases cholesterol. Raised insulin levels cause LDLs
(the bad guys”) to remain highly active, and keep the “good
guys” HDL from being used.
It makes children “Hyper” Insulin levels rise, then
drop.(*A drug like effect similar to using “uppers” and
“downers”)
16
17. Sugar consumption is linked to
• Diabetes
• Hypoglycemia
• Inability to handle stress
• Mood changes
• Behavior problems
• Tooth Decay
• Digestion problems
• Poor Immune System
• Heart Disease
• Obesity (Yikes!!!)
17
18. Our diet choices are often due to the fact that
most of us are in a HURRY!
Mom working
Not enough time to shop for fresh
veggies…no time to cook.
Kids have soccer practice, piano lessons…..
Bills to PAY.. people to see…places to GO!!!!
18
20. Some suggestions:
Have a family “talk”
Decide on what’s most important
Make small changes
Build on your successes
Delegate jobs;
Kids can help with laundry!
Kids can help with the menu planning and grocery
shopping.
20
21. Pray Together
Have fun together
Do your best to create a home
that is filled with
Love
Beauty
Gratitude
Laughter
Forgiveness
Respect
21
23. Of the – more than – 17,000 chemicals that
appear in common household products, only 30%
of them have been adequately tested for negative
effects on our health.
The FDA cannot review or approve of personal
care product ingredients before they are sold to
the public.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission
has linked over 150 Household chemicals to:
Allergies
Birth defects
Cancer
Psychological abnormalities
23
24. Some more suggestions:
Continue to educate yourself and tell others….
There are healthy solutions to the
problems that today'’ families face…
Look for:
An Air Purification System that will purify the air in
your home, effectively reducing molds, bacteria, gases,
sub-micron particulates (that conventional filtration
cannot remove)
A Water Purification System that will remove
chlorine, flouride and other harmful substances and give
you family delicious tasting water. Look for a Reverse
Osmosis System to effectively reduce flouride.
24
25. Look for
Highly effective household
cleaners, laundry products
that protect your
children, and the environment
Healthy and Effective Personal Care Products
that have been proven to never harm a living cell.
Organic Food Supplements from a company that
can prove, through scientific research that they are absorbed
into the blood stream in the amounts listed on the label.
“Non-Natural” or synthetic “vitamins” won’t feed the
brain, the immune system, or help build healthy cells.
25
26. Other suggestions….
Encourage Good Eating Habits:
Fresh Fruits and Veggies
every single day.
Daily Exercise!!
TV OFF during meals – Eat together at the
table.
Make sure your kids get plenty of sleep!!!
(the body grows and heals during sleep)
Routine Bedtime and naps are
good for everybody!
26
27. Adding Food Supplements
makes sense for everyone.
When we’re exposed to toxins, bacteria,
viruses, etc…
There are just too many
nutritional gaps in our diets.
We would have to eat a LOT of “TODAY’S
FOOD” to fill those gaps.
We are exposed to lots of stress
(which uses up nutrients)
We are exposed to too many chemicals (in food,
air, water, personal care, cleaning, laundry products, etc.)
We are “drowning in a sea of chemicals”…
This puts enormous strain on the body
which requires even more nutrition to try
to balance the system.
27
28. What is a good
Nutritional Supplement
Program for Children?
• The best quality soy protein you can find:
Organic, water-washed, living enzyme soy
protein powder. Most on the market are alcohol-
washed which destroys the living enzymes.
• Organic food supplements, NOT synthetic,
drug store or health food store type
“vitamins”. The cells of the body must eat FOOD.
That’s why a food supplement works so well. Taking
synthetic vitamins are like eating a plastic orange.
Food supplements that are alive with living
enzymes. The company must have a process that
keeps the food enzymes alive.
And help us and our kids build a Strong
Immune System, a healthy & energetic
body and a bright & peaceful mind. 28

39. Most people are already using products
like the ones that Shaklee makes.
Household Cleaners, Cosmetics, Skin Care,
Vitamins, Diet Products, Herbal Medicines,
Laxatives, Calcium, Deodorant,
Toothpaste, Sports Drinks, Bottled Water,
etc….
As we’ve seen, these types of products from the grocery
store, drug store, discount store, etc. contain harmful
chemicals. Ask yourself – are the vitamins you are presently
taking giving you the best value for the money you are
spending? Are you saving money on those products
because they’re concentrated so that you use less to do
more? Does the store where you purchase them give you a
discount or a bonus because you refer your friends to shop
there?
“Changing Brands” makes good sense for you and
your family. It can save you money and put money back
into your pocket also…..
39
