This is NOT Normal Childhood!
Parents are saying,
"My child does not have any appetite"
"My child is refusing milk; both breast and cow's milk"
"My child vomits if given milk"
"My child vomits if given food"
"My child is always suffering from colds"
"My child is not growing properly"
"My child is obese though his appetite is weak"
"My child is always asking for food, yet eats very little"
"Fever at the slightest opportunity"
"Very hyper, I cannot control my child"
"My child is unreasonable, obstinate and headstrong."
"My child is always crying for absolutely no reason."
"My child is listless, does not have any energy"
"Always suffering from ear infections and sinus"
"My child is interested only in sugar and throws tantrums if he is not given sugary drinks every day."
"My child will not eat anything except junk food."
Doctors are saying;
"All of these are normal in childhood"
Autism, cancers, obesity, paralysis, tuberculosis, neurological disorders, depression, hyperactivity, attention deficit, tantrums.
This is NOT normal childhood.
The above are not imagined responses. We did a child nutrition study in Odisha. This is how parents responded to our queries.

54% of American Kids Have A
Diagnosed Chronic Illness

Here’s
the stats breakdown.
Pretty shocking stats.
Beth
Lambert discusses the state of chronic illness among children in America today.
Some researchers are projecting that autism will impact 1 in 2 kids, 80% of
boys, by 2025. If we go by more modest models looking at the 13% growth
rate of autism and projecting it forward, you still end up with 1 in 4 children
by 2033.
Lambert
notes that autism effects boys 4 to 1 over girls, which leads her to wonder how
many boys will be left that don’t have autism or a neuro-behavioral disorder to
carry on our society.
Lambert
suggests inflammatory diets as being the link that’s causing the rise in all of
these chronic childhood illnesses. Animal products are the primary driver
of inflammation in our western diets.

Dr. Garth Davis, and Dr. Michael Greger’s lectures as well.
Results:
We found a diverse group of children who suffered with serious, multiple
chronic conditions, and who accessed comprehensive, multidisciplinary care.
Most children had neuromuscular conditions (54%), cardiovascular conditions
(46%), and cancer (30%). A majority (56%) had multiple CCCs. Children with CCCs
received comprehensive care including hospital inpatient (67%), primary (82%),
ancillary (87%), and other acute care services (83%).
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, about 20% of American children
suffer from a diagnosable mental
illness during a given year. Further, nearly 5 million American
children and adolescents suffer from a serious mental illness
(one that significantly interferes with their day-to-day life).
Which Mental Illnesses Are Most Common in Children?
Children can suffer from the following mental illnesses:
- Anxiety disorders: Children
with anxiety disorders respond to certain
things or situations with fear and dread, as well as with physical signs
of anxiety (nervousness), such as a rapid heartbeat and sweating.
- Disruptive behavior disorders:Children with these disorders tend to defy
rules and often are disruptive in structured environments, such as school.
- Eating disorders: Eating disordersinvolve intense emotions
and attitudes, as well as unusual behaviors, associated with weight and/or food.
- Elimination disorders: These disorders affect behavior related
to the elimination of body wastes (feces and urine).
- Affective (mood) disorders: These disorders, including depression, involve
persistent feelings of sadness and/or rapidly changing moods.
- Schizophrenia : This is
a serious disorder that involves distorted perceptions and thoughts.
- Tic disorders : These
disorders cause a person to perform repeated, sudden, involuntary and
often meaningless movements and sounds, called tics.
- ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder): Children with this disorder are hyperactive and have trouble
controlling their impulses and paying attention. ADHD is the most commonly
diagnosed mental disorder in children.
