Chemical Stress, Children, and Subluxation


Subluxations, for those who do not know, are interferences of the communication in the nervous system. They are epidemic in children! Why?
Chemical toxins are a much overlooked cause of subluxations, nerve interference and ill health in children. Chemicals are a direct poison to their body and nervous system. Everything that our children put in or on their body, what they eat, drink, breathe, place on their skin, or are exposed to in their environment that is not a nutrient may have a negative consequence to their health or nerve system and result in subluxation.
Children have many opportunities to expose themselves to toxins. Cleaning products, pesticides, arts and craft supplies, paints, food dyes, food preservatives, hormones & antibiotics in their meat, sweeteners, sugar, second hand smoke, caffeine, processed foods, prescriptions, over the counter drugs, chemicals in their air, water and even house plants. The list can be quite extensive.
Consider these facts:
  • Vaccines may contain aluminum and mercury - neurotoxins
  • Fluoride toothpaste contains ammonia, ethanol, artificial colors and flavors, mineral oil, sugar or saccharin, and carcinogenic polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)
  • 58% of American children are exposed to second hand smoke, and the levels of a nicotine byproduct, cotinine, test twice as high in those children than in adults.
  • Man made chemicals now total over 20,000 (3,000 food additives alone) with an estimated exposure of over 200 chemical toxins a day
  • Regular shampoos often contain formaldehyde as a preservative, listed on the label as "quatemium-15"
Researchers suspect exposure to tiny amounts of some environmental chemicals in the womb or early childhood may permanently alter a child's intelligence, motor skills, memory, behavior, fertility and immune response. "Kids are being exposed. We don't have all the details yet about the health effects, but it can't be good for kids," said Dr. Howard Frumkin, chair of environmental and occupational health at Emory University.
"It's time for our government to do more to crack down on these toxic pollutants in our air, water and food," said Robert Musil, executive director of Physicians for Social Responsibility. According to recent estimates from the National Academy of Sciences, it is concluded that 360,000 children, 1 in every 200, suffer from developmental or neurological disabilities caused by a range of toxic exposures.
