IS IT POSSIBLE TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM CHRONIC ILLNESS?
PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN IS NOT ONLY POSSIBLE, IT IS NECESSARY!
Health experts agree there is an urgent need to implement targeted interventions aimed at preventing chronic childhood illnesses. Our children endure many infectious illnesses during the early developmental years of their lives. Today, however, our children are facing a new threat to their health as chronic illness is affecting more and more young Americans.
A NATION IS ONLY AS HEALTHY AS ITS CHILDREN. Harry Truman (1946)
The most important thing a parent can do to protect a child from developing a chronic illness, no matter what genetic predisposition the child may have, is to support the immune system.
