SPEAKING EVENT: WHAT’S BEHIND THE EPIDEMIC OF AUTISM, ADHD, ALLERGIES & ASTHMA?

stormJoin me in the Memorial Room at the Main Fairfield Public Library in Fairfield, CT on April 30, 2013 at 7:00pm, as I discuss “What’s Behind the Epidemic of Autism, ADHD, Allergies and Asthma?”

Why is the rate of autism now 1 in 50, when it was only 1 in 10,000 a couple of decades ago?

Why do 1 in 10 children have ADHD?

Why are allergies and asthma “the new normal” in our schools these days?

I’ll be talking about the perfect storm causing all of these illnesses in our children today and what we can do about it.

When:
April 30, 2013 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Where:

Memorial Room at the Main Fairfield Public Library in Fairfield, CT

ADHD AND HOMEOPATHY

homeopathy“Medicating children for ADHD with stimulants has become an epidemic”, writes Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman, author of Ritalin-Free Kids: Homeopathy for ADHD.

She also writes that these medications have harmful side effects, such as “obesity, hypothyrodisim, elevated cholesterol, and liver problems”.

Instead of using harmful medications, Dr. Reichenberg-Ullman uses homeopathy to counter the symptoms of ADHD.

For those of you who are not familiar with homeopathy, it’s based on the principle of “like cures like”.  It’s similar to the concept of “the hair of the dog that bit you is the cure for what ails you”.

Homeopathy uses an infinitesimal amount of a substance to stimulate the body’s immune response. It gives the body just the right amount of information to counter an unwanted symptom.

You may remember that I discovered homeopathy a few years ago when I had the worst case of poison ivy, ever,

I had gone to my internist, who gave me a pack of steroids.  I didn’t want to take them because I know how harmful they are to the immune system, the liver and the GI system, but I was desperate.

The steroids worked for the 6 days I was taking them.  When I was done, the rash came back with a vengeance.

I didn’t want to take any more steroids, so I researched what else I could do.

That’s when I discovered Rhus toxiconderon, the homeopathic preparation of poison ivy.

And voila, it worked!  You can get the remedy at Whole Foods for just a few dollars AND there aren’t harmful side effects.

In any case, check out this article to read more about how homeopathy can be used to treat ADHD safely.

WHY IS NEW JERSEY’S AUTISM RATE SO HIGH?

New JerseyNew Jersey’s autism rate has more than doubled in 10 years to one in 49 children, compared with one in 94 in 2002.  New Jersey’s rate is second only to Utah’s.

Why have levels increased so dramatically?  Talk to any teacher or school nurse who’s been around a while, and you’ll find it’s not just better diagnosis.

There is a perfect storm of environmental causes behind this epidemic.  In New Jersey, this likely has to do with the fact that a large part of the state is highly industrialized.  Perhaps those toxic industrial byproducts are contributing to this alarming rate.  Read more…
