Protecting Your Child's Immune System
A newborn baby.
If we are blessed, our newborn is a picture of health; untainted by age and circumstance.
As parents, we have the opportunity to take advantage of that healthy start by providing baby with every opportunity to keep that immune system strong. It should be easy, but in today's world it is a never-ending battle against chemicals, poor nutrition and misinformation that slowly starts to degrade that perfect immune system and sets our infant up for unnecessary illnesses.
Most parents just accept that it is "normal" for a baby to have constant ear infections and diaper rash and spit up after every single meal. We think nothing of it when the doctor injects a newborn with foreign substances. If the doctor said it's necessary then it must be, right? In the most extreme cases, we just accept that there is nothing we can do to prevent childhood diseases like leukemia and asthma.
But what if there was something we could do?
We should never trust that our child will glide through life with no lasting effects from the pesticides in their fruit and the chemicals in their snacks. We should never trust that the products on the shelves must be safe or they wouldn't sell them. We know all too well that innocent children suffer from lead poisoning, nutritional deficiencies, allergies, cancer all of which can be prevented if only we were proactive about educating ourselves and taking control of our children's health instead of blindly handing it over to the food manufacturers and a doctor that has been educated by the pharmaceutical industry.
Your baby's health is in your hands. The choices you make will affect your babies health for the rest of their lives. I challenge you to open your eyes, research and educate yourself, and then decide how to keep your baby healthy. Don't take my word for it. Don't trust me. Don't trust your doctor. Don't trust the government or the pharmaceutical industry. Trust your heart and your educated mind.
