The
alarming rate of one out of every 150
children being diagnosed with an Autism
Spectrum Disorder has led to many
studies and speculation about the causes
of this horrific increase. As a
society we are becoming more aware of
our changing environment
With this dramatic rise over the past 15
years, vaccines & environmental
factors may have played a major role in
altering the immune system of a
child who has a genetic predisposition
for ASD.

According
to the book, "The Safe Shoppers
Bible" by David Steinman
& Samuel S. Epstein , (a Consumer's
Guide to Nontoxic Household Products,
Cosmetics, and Food) ,
many common household products
contain known carcinogens and/or
neurotoxins. Carcinogens are chemicals
that cause cancer. Neurotoxins
are chemicals that adversely affect the
nervous system reducing emotional well
being, mental alertness, coordination
and other functions associated with
intelligence.
"Household
products have changed radically since
the post-World War II
"petrochemical" revolution
when industry discovered that a wide
range of new chemicals could be
synthesized from petroleum. Whereas
Grandma could rely on fairly effective
safe all round cleaners made with
vinegar, borax & lemon juice.
The
average home today contains 62 toxic
chemicals — more than a chemistry lab
at the turn of the century. More than
72,000 synthetic chemicals have been
produced since WW II. Less than 2% of
synthetic chemicals have been tested for
toxicity, mutagenic and carcinogenic
effects, or birth defects. The majority
of chemicals have never been tested for
long-term effects.

Chemical exposure presents a real danger
to you and your family's health and
well-being.
ADD/ADHD is epidemic in schools today.
Behavioral problems have long been
linked to exposure to toxic chemicals
and molds.
Chemicals are attracted to, and stored
in fatty tissue. The brain is a prime
target for these destructive organics
because of its high fat content and very
rich blood supply.
There are more than 3 million
poisonings every year. Household
cleaners are the Number ONE cause of
poisoning of children. The top three
culprits according to Poison Control:
Household cleaners, bleach and
medications.
The EPA says only a
fraction of the more than 75,000
