Dr. Laura Thompson

I wrote this book to empower the people who help the children. My purpose is to help achieve peace at home and peace in the classroom. From infancy through teen years, health problems are rampant. 17% of children and adolescents between ages 2 and 19 years are overweight. Childhood obesity and diabetes are on the rise, and children are saddled with with acid reflux, skin and respiratory disorders, high cholesterol, as well as mild and severe depression. Kids are more aggressive and violent now than ever. They don't feel good.

**************

Excerpt:

The CDC, Centers for Disease Control, reports that 7.8% of the children in the U.S. are diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. 56% of them are being treated with medication. ADD/ADHD is the #1 psychiatric disorder among children. Do you believe they - our children, our students -- are all sick and have mental diseases? Or are many of them falsely diagnosed and under-nourished?

We have a health industry that loves to diagnose, a public who is eager for the diagnosis and a multi-billion dollar industry that loves to sell drugs.

The health problems children ARE having are being over-drugged, and the problems they DON'T have are being diagnosed as diseases or disorders.

Then there are the food corporations. Trends come and go at the speed of light. Kids are subject to commercialization far beyond our comprehension. The "market" has turned them into consumers and "users" - of toys, of devices, of food and drink.

Most of the children in North America today are eating the same commercial foods - low in nutrients and high in calories: sodas, juice drinks, macaroni and cheese, pizza, sugary cereals, French fries, chicken nuggets, candy and ice cream. Eating these empty foods day in and day out causes a whole range of health problems.

Yes, we have wonderful experts and diagnostic tools with which to assess imbalances, but could it be that something so simple -- nutritional gaps, missing nutrients -- are a major factor in what's happening to our kids? You will find many scientific studies in this book that validate this concept. You will also read about numerous solutions.

These solutions are drug-free and at our fingertips. But you have to reach out of the box, because that's where the answers are. Answers to: over-medicating; over-diagnosing; missing nutrients; addictive eating. Answers to a whole range of children's health problems that have come looming up over the horizon.

Parents, grandparents, teachers, and other caregivers have found answers for their children's health and they are living them. It is so inspiring to watch them transform children's lives - on their own --- by their own decision, by their own doing --- with just some information --- like the information that follows.
