IAOMT. org<\/font><\/strong><\/a> and watch the &#8220;Smoking Teeth = Poison Gas&#8221; video to learn more.<\/p>\n<p>2.Vaccines<br \/>Think<br \/>\n vaccines are safe? You&#8217;ve been hoodwinked by the popular media<br \/>\nparroting drug company propaganda. Vaccines are preserved with methyl<br \/>\nmercury, one of the most dangerous chemical forms of the toxic heavy<br \/>\nmetal. This mercury is injected directly into the bodies of children<br \/>\nwhere it causes severe neurological damage. And yes, it does cause<br \/>\nAutism, despite what you&#8217;ve read in the dumbed-down press. Only a fool<br \/>\nwould inject their child with mercury-preserved vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>3.Hot dogs<br \/>Hot<br \/>\n dogs are made with horrifying processed meat parts (click here to see<br \/>\nshocking photos of processed meat products, then preserved with a<br \/>\ncancer-causing ingredient called sodium nitrite. As detailed in my book<br \/>\nGrocery Warning, this ingredient causes brain tumors in children, not to<br \/>\n mention leukemia, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer and other cancers.Hot<br \/>\n dogs are far more dangerous to a child&#8217;s health than lead paint in my<br \/>\nopinion, and yet parents keep feeding them to their children!<\/p>\n<p>4.Antibacterial soap<br \/>How<br \/>\n about a little nerve toxin in your soap? That&#8217;s what&#8217;s found in<br \/>\nantibacterial soap. It&#8217;s a toxic cocktail of chemicals designed to kill<br \/>\nlife. That&#8217;s how it kills bacteria. The problem is that it also harms<br \/>\npeople &#8212; especially infants and children who are trying to develop<br \/>\nhealthy nervous systems. Avoid all products claiming to be<br \/>\n&#8220;antibacterial.&#8221; You&#8217;re better off using natural soap (like Dr.Bronner&#8217;s soap, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msplinks.com\/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LkRyQnJvbm5lci5jb20=\"><strong><font size=\"2\" color=\"003399\">www. DrBronner. com<\/font><\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n ) and letting your child&#8217;s immune system fight off common bacteria. The<br \/>\n world isn&#8217;t sterile, after all. You can&#8217;t turn your house into a<br \/>\ngerm-free bubble.<\/p>\n<p>5.ADHD drugs<br \/>Would<br \/>\n you give your child street drugs like speed or meth? Probably not, but<br \/>\nwhat if your doctor wrote you a prescription for speed and said your<br \/>\nchild needed it because he was ADHD? If you&#8217;re like most parents, you&#8217;d<br \/>\nfall in step and start giving your child speed. But wait, you say: ADHD<br \/>\ndrugs are not speed, are they? But of course they are. They belong to a<br \/>\nclass of drugs called amphetamines. They used to be illegally sold as<br \/>\nspeed. Now they&#8217;re prescription drugs, and they&#8217;re given to children in<br \/>\nschools all across America (and elsewhere). Psychiatrists and drug<br \/>\ncompanies are making a killing dosing up kids and infants on substances<br \/>\nthat used to be considered illegal street drugs (and that have no<br \/>\nlegitimate medical use whatsoever).<\/p>\n<p>6.Sports drinks<br \/>For<br \/>\n some reason, parents irrationally believe sports drinks are healthy<br \/>\nbecause they contain the word &#8220;sports.&#8221; Didn&#8217;t they notice the neon<br \/>\ngreen artificial coloring? Sports drinks are, in my opinion, a<br \/>\nnutritional joke. Made from salt water, processed sweeteners and<br \/>\npetrochemical coloring, many of their ingredients are actually harmful.<br \/>\nDrinking water would be smarter, and feeding your child some healthy<br \/>\ntrace minerals would be even better. Low on potassium? Eat a banana.<\/p>\n<p>7.Cough syrup and over-the-counter medicines<br \/>Nearly<br \/>\n all children&#8217;s over-the-counter medicines contain multiple toxic<br \/>\nsubstances such as chemical sweeteners, preservatives and additives.<br \/>\nCough syrup, in particular, has been scientifically proven to be<br \/>\nabsolutely worthless in preventing coughs. Many &#8220;children&#8217;s&#8221; medicines<br \/>\nare actually more toxic than their adult counterparts because they&#8217;re<br \/>\nsweetened up and cosmetically enhanced with artificial colors made from<br \/>\npetrochemicals. Yet parents poison their children every day with<br \/>\nover-the-counter medicine.<\/p>\n<p>8.Sunscreen<br \/>The<br \/>\n sunscreen industry is a huge scam. Most popular sunscreen products<br \/>\nactually cause skin cancer due to the numerous toxic chemicals they<br \/>\ncontain (which are quickly absorbed into the skin where they cause DNA<br \/>\nmutations that lead to cancer). Even worse, sunscreen blocks the UV<br \/>\nradiation that allows the skin to manufacture all-important vitamin D &#8212;<br \/>\n the most powerful anti-cancer nutrient yet known to modern science. It<br \/>\nprevents over a dozen different cancers, yet parents block it by<br \/>\nslathering toxic sunscreen on their children, all while mistakenly<br \/>\nbelieving they&#8217;re &#8220;protecting their children from cancer!&#8221; What a scam.<\/p>\n<p>9.Fluoride in the water<br \/>I&#8217;ve<br \/>\n always found it amazing that city water officials were dumb enough to<br \/>\nactually buy a toxic waste substance and arrange to have it dripped into<br \/>\n the public water supply where it would be ingested by infants and<br \/>\nchildren. The result? Mass fluorosis and toxicity to children<br \/>\neverywhere. Didn&#8217;t these people realize that fluoride only works<br \/>\ntopically? (That is, it only works if you rub it on your teeth, then<br \/>\nspit it out, and even that only works if you&#8217;re using natural fluoride,<br \/>\nnot the chemicals spit out as byproducts of the fertilizer industry,<br \/>\nwhich is what city water departments are buying and dripping into the<br \/>\nwater supply.) Click here to see my CounterThink cartoon on this topic.<\/p>\n<p>Whoever<br \/>\n heard of drinking a topical medication in the first place? It&#8217;s like<br \/>\nswallowing sunscreen to prevent sunburn. Even worse, putting this into<br \/>\nthe public water supply effectively mass medicates everyone with a<br \/>\nbioactive chemical substance that no one has been given a prescription<br \/>\nfor. This is all done with no regard for the level of natural fluoride<br \/>\nchildren might already be ingesting from other sources. The situation is<br \/>\n so crazy that it&#8217;s difficult to find a more insane example of medical<br \/>\ntyranny than the mass fluoridation of public water supplies. The fact<br \/>\nthat doctors and dentists so vehemently support it demonstrates just how<br \/>\n crazy they really are.<\/p>\n<p>10.Processed milk<br \/>Children<br \/>\n as young as 10 years old are now being diagnosed with heart disease and<br \/>\n clogged arteries. Ever wonder how it happened? It&#8217;s due in part, I<br \/>\nbelieve, to all the processed milk children are swallowing these days.<br \/>\nNot only is the milk contaminated with pus, blood and detectable levels<br \/>\nof pesticides and other chemicals, it&#8217;s also homogenized, meaning the<br \/>\nfats are artificially modified in a way that makes them stay in<br \/>\nsuspension. This homogenization also makes milk fats dangerous to<br \/>\ncardiovascular health.While<br \/>\n I support the consumption of raw, unprocessed milk, I think that<br \/>\nconsuming processed, homogenized milk is dangerous to the health of<br \/>\ninfants, children and adults alike!<\/p>\n<p>11.Fast food<br \/>Fast<br \/>\n food is extremely unhealthy for children. Not only are the foods often<br \/>\nfried, homogenized, hydrogenated and otherwise altered, they&#8217;re also<br \/>\nlaced with chemical additives, taste enhancers, processed sugars,<br \/>\npetrochemical food coloring and other unhealthy substances. Strangely,<br \/>\nmany parents actually reward their children for good behavior by buying<br \/>\nthem unhealthy fast food meals, thereby creating a psychological<br \/>\nassociation between good feelings and junk food. (Fast food restaurants<br \/>\nfurther exploit this psychological link by building playgrounds and<br \/>\nrunning feel-good advertisements that emphasize friends and fun, then<br \/>\nlink those good vibes to their food products.)<\/p>\n<p>12.Antidepressant drugs<br \/>Children<br \/>\n as young as six months old are now being put on psychotropic drugs such<br \/>\n as SSRIs (antidepressants). These drugs, we now know, cause suicidal<br \/>\nthoughts and violent behavior, especially in young boys. They imbalance<br \/>\nbrain chemistry and even alter the body&#8217;s metabolism of sugar, promoting<br \/>\n diabetes and leading to rapid weight gain. These drugs are so dangerous<br \/>\n that feeding them to children should be considered a crime. Every<br \/>\nsingle school shooting involving a child in the United States in the<br \/>\nlast 15 years has been linked to antidepressant drug use.Need I say more?<\/p>\n<p>13.Chemical laundry detergents<br \/>Parents<br \/>\n are shown fancy ads on television depicting how wonderful and clean<br \/>\ntheir clothes will be if they wash them in brand-name laundry detergent.<br \/>\n What they&#8217;re not shown, however, is the toxicity of all the synthetic<br \/>\nchemicals that go into most laundry detergent products. The fragrance<br \/>\nchemicals alone are often carcinogenic, and they&#8217;re just as bad for the<br \/>\nenvironment as they are children&#8217;s health. A new alternative has<br \/>\nappeared, however: Soap berries! It&#8217;s laundry soap that grows on trees.We offer it at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msplinks.com\/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LkJldHRlckxpZmVHb29kcy5jb20=\"><strong><font size=\"2\" color=\"003399\">www. BetterLifeGoods. com<\/font><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>14.Flame retardant chemicals<br \/>Did<br \/>\n you know that new mattresses for infants and children are often sprayed<br \/>\n with extremely toxic flame retardant chemicals? These are easily<br \/>\nabsorbed through the skin of infants and children where they contribute<br \/>\nto numerous neurological disorders and immune suppression. Many clothing<br \/>\n products are also sprayed with flame retardants, as are some carpeting<br \/>\nproducts. In the push to make everything fireproof, state regulators<br \/>\n(who have mandated the flame retardant chemicals in states like<br \/>\nCalifornia) have created a toxic environment for everyone. I suppose if<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re a politician, it&#8217;s always better for a million people to die of a<br \/>\n mysterious disease that can&#8217;t be linked to you than to have one baby<br \/>\nburning up on the evening news with fingers of blame pointed directly at<br \/>\n you.<\/p>\n<p>15.Soda<br \/>Aside<br \/>\n from directly promoting diabetes and obesity, sodas also contain high<br \/>\namounts of phosphoric acid, a substance that dissolves bones and causes a<br \/>\n loss of bone mineral density. This causes massive tooth decay as well<br \/>\nas a shrinking jaw bone and overall skeletal fragility. Diet sodas are<br \/>\neven worse, since they contain chemical sweeteners linked to<br \/>\nneurological disorders and learning disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>16.Air fresheners<br \/>Air<br \/>\n fresheners contain cancer-causing chemicals. Unleashing them in the<br \/>\nhouse exposes children to these chemicals, promoting asthma and other<br \/>\nrespiratory problems. If you value the health of your children, avoid<br \/>\nair freshener products and just use essential oils or citrus peels<br \/>\ninstead. (Peel an orange and hang the peel in your kitchen.)<\/p>\n<p>17.Synthetic vitamins<br \/>Many<br \/>\n children&#8217;s vitamins are made with cheap, synthetic &#8220;vitamin&#8221; chemicals<br \/>\nthat actually harm people who take them. Plus, many are loaded up with<br \/>\nartificial colors, sucrose and chemical sweeteners. Avoid cheap,<br \/>\nstore-bought children&#8217;s vitamins or anything containing cyanocobalamin<br \/>\n(a toxic form of vitamin B12).Quality children&#8217;s vitamins are available through sources like Nordic Naturals (fish oils) and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msplinks.com\/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LkludGVncmF0ZWRIZWFsdGguY29t\"><strong><font size=\"2\" color=\"003399\">www. IntegratedHealth. com<\/font><\/strong><\/a> (also check <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msplinks.com\/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LldlbGxuZXNzUmVzb3VyY2VzLmNvbQ==\"><strong><font size=\"2\" color=\"003399\">www. WellnessResources. com<\/font><\/strong><\/a> for high-quality supplements).<\/p>\n<p>18.Dryer sheets<br \/>Most<br \/>\n popular dryer sheets and fabric softeners are made with toxic synthetic<br \/>\n chemicals that are not safe to use on children&#8217;s clothing. The<br \/>\nfragrance chemicals alone are often highly carcinogenic, and the other<br \/>\nchemicals contribute additional toxicity to the clothing. Children&#8217;s<br \/>\nclothes should never be washed or dried in chemicals. Only use natural<br \/>\ndetergents and fabric softeners, or avoid the fabric softeners<br \/>\naltogether.<\/p>\n<p>19.Bacon<br \/>Most<br \/>\n bacon and sausage are processed meat products made with sodium nitrite<br \/>\n(like the hot dogs, above) and contaminated with various chemicals<br \/>\nlodged in the animal fats. Conventionally-raised beef, pork and chicken<br \/>\nproducts are, in my opinion, extremely toxic to the human body and<br \/>\ncontribute to colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and many<br \/>\nother diseases and disorders. If you make meat for your children, shop<br \/>\nfor 100% organic, free-range, antibiotic-free meats that have no<br \/>\nnitrites or nitrates.<\/p>\n<p>20.Shampoo and bath products<br \/>Virtually<br \/>\n all popular shampoo and bath products sold on the market contain<br \/>\ncancer-causing chemicals. The ingredients read like a top-40 list of<br \/>\ntoxic chemicals. Virtually none of these chemicals have ever been tested<br \/>\n or approved for use on humans (they are simply ignored because the FDA<br \/>\nastonishingly believes the skin won&#8217;t absorb chemicals).If you want healthy products, use the shampoo I recommend: Pure Essentials Fragrance-Free Shampoo from Earth Science (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.msplinks.com\/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LlRoZU5ld0VTLmNvbQ==\"><strong><font size=\"2\" color=\"003399\">www.
