Symptoms tell the story.
Brain function disorders among children are epidemic!
The Alphabet Soup of "diagnoses" continues to grow:
-- ADD
-- ADHD
-- Autism Spectrum
-- OCD
-- SPD
-- Bi-polar
-- "Developmental Delays"
Digestive disorders among children are epidemic!
-- Food Allergies
-- Food Sensitivities
-- IBS
-- Ulcerative Colitis
-- Food Protein Intolerance Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES)
-- Low stomach acid
-- Reflux
-- GERD
Physical symptoms among children are epidemic!
-- "Failure to Thrive"
-- PANDAS
-- Asthma
-- Chronic Colds and Respiratory Illness
-- Chronic Sinus Infections
-- Eczema
How did we get here?
Pre-conception: Germ seeds are not viable due to health of parents
In-utero: Growth Environment (mother's womb) is not adequate: Nutrient-deficient, Immune Compromised, or Toxic
Birth: C-Section Birth means immune compromised child
After birth: Stressors on Digestive System
In-Utero: What is the Growing Environment?
Most mothers in the US are:
-- Nutrient-deficient
-- Immune compromised
-- Toxic
In-Utero: Nutrient-Deficient Environment
The environment is Nutrient Deficient, due to Mother's Standard American Diet:
--conventional farming methods: chemical fertilizers and insecticides
-- low in vitamins and minerals: soil is depleted, so food is deficient
-- high carb/high sugar
-- low fat and fat phobic
-- low in enzymes... dead food
-- laced with GMOs--not labeled
-- sterile--no live bacteria due to pasteurization and irradiation!
-- plant-based--not building
What is the Nutrient-deficient Diet?
Nutrient-deficient breast-milk (due to nutrient-deficient diet of mother)
OR
Nutrient deficient formula (commercial formula--not organic--is 35-60% soy and GMO)
Cereal Grains further Damage Children's Small Intestine
Children cannot digest cereal grains before the age of 18 months to 2 years.
Cereal Grains that are not prepared correctly--that is, all commercial cereals--will still have anti-nutrients and enzyme inhibitors and indigestible proteins.
We further Compromise our Children's Digestive Systems with:
-- antibiotic use
-- prescription medications
-- GMOs in food
-- toxins in food
All Symptoms Lead to the Gut
-- Brain function is connected to the health of the gut.
-- Digestive system function is connected to the health of the gut.
-- All other physical symptoms are connected to the health of the gut.
Digestive System Function
-- Digestive System dysfunction is related to whether or not food can be digested and then absorbed.
-- If the digestive system is not working, food cannot be digested (broken down) and nutrients cannot be accessed.
-- If nutrients cannot be accessed, they cannot be absorbed or used by the body.
-- One result? Malnutrition. The body is starved on nutrients.
-- One result? Foreign proteins in the blood. The body launches an immune response to the foreign proteins. This means food sensitivities and allergies. Over the long term, an autoimmune disorder results.
-- Another result of food not broken down? Toxins in the blood.
If All Symptoms Lead to the Gut, and Immune System Function is Dependent upon a Healthy Gut, then...
Let's Heal our Children's Guts!
Stop the Injury!
Eliminate foods that would continue to cause injury:
-- Gluten
-- Casein
-- Complex Carbohydrates including starchy vegetables, grains, beans, and anything made from them
Feed them Meat Stock!
What is Meat Stock?
-- Meat Stock contains the building blocks needed to heal and seal the small intestine lining: amino acids and gelatin.
-- Meat Stock is short cooked stock made from meat with a joint in it.
Clear the Dysbiosis!
Starve the Pathogens
-- Eliminate all sugar, in all its forms
-- Eliminate fruit, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other starchy vegetables
-- Eliminate maple syrup, maple sugar
-- Eliminate lactose
Feed Children what they Need to Thrive!
Nourish with Nutrient-Dense Foods and Traditional Fats
-- Eggs from Pastured Hens
-- Organ meats
-- Meat Stock
-- Pastured Butter, ghee, tallow, lard, duck fat
