Can’t this just be easier?! Well, the folks at AquaTru think so, and they have done their homework to provide a system that actually does what a water system needs to do!

The Documenting Hope Project is a science and media initiative started by a pioneering group of scientists, physicians, healers, parents and children’s health advocates who have assembled to scientifically demonstrate that recovery from chronic childhood conditions (even those as complex as autism and autoimmune conditions) is possible. The Documenting Hope Project seeks to inspire parents, physicians, and policy makers to think differently about children’s health and redesign a system that truly understands how to prevent and reverse chronic health conditions.

For the first time in history, today’s children are predicted to have a shorter life-expectancy than their parents. Reasons vary, but include increased rates of disease, increased childhood obesity and increased environmental, emotional and physical toxicity.

In the tradition of Michael Pollan, Mark Hyman, and Andrew Weil, pioneering integrative pediatric neurologist Maya Shetreat-Klein, MD, reveals the shocking contents of children’s food, how it’s seriously harming their bodies and brains, and what we can do about it. And she presents the first nutritional plan for getting and keeping children healthy—a plan that any family can follow.
New alarming studies show the dramatic rise of chronic disease in children—from allergies and ADHD to mental illnesses and obesity. A traditionally trained pediatric neurologist and a parent herself, Dr. Maya encountered the limits of conventional medicine when her son suffered a severe episode of asthma on his first birthday and began a backward slide in his development. Treatments failed to reverse his condition, so Dr. Maya embarked on a scientific investigation, discovering that food was at the root of her son’s illness, affecting his digestive system, immune system, and brain. The solution was shockingly simple: Heal the food, heal the gut, heal the brain…and heal the child.
A Compromised Generation reveals how seemingly benign elements of American culture are making millions of children chronically ill, disabled, or dysfunctional. Children are being diagnosed with illnesses such as autism, asthma, allergies, and ADHD at a breathtaking rate. The etiology of autism continues to confound mainstream medicine, yet parents, medical researchers, and healthcare practitioners dedicated to unraveling the mystery are beginning to put the pieces of the puzzle into place. They have found that environmental factors that cause autism are the same ones causing epidemics of ADHD, juvenile diabetes, asthma, gastrointestinal disorders, and many other chronic illnesses. Although the specific pathophysiology of each individual child’s illness varies, they all have the same basic underlying causes. It is a perfect storm of environmental factors including decades of pharmaceutical over-usage, toxic or nutritionally anemic diets, excessive exposure to environmental toxins, specific American habits and lifestyles, and excessive or improperly administered vaccines.
Have you been madly juggling your family health and are finding that you are getting tired of the juggle? Have you been having trouble keeping all of the balls in the air these days, and one more ball in the air just might put you over the brink? Are you ready for some help in putting some of that burden down, to find simple yet effective answers to your fatigue, burn-out, and level of stress? Are you ready to seek out what is creating your ill health and finally to lead your family into not only good, but optimal health?
I created this 30-day challenge to help people to stop accepting that feeling like crap all the time and succumbing to diseases like diabetes and ADHD and obesity as the new normal. It may be common, but not healthy, to feel headachy, exhausted, depressed, and maxed out every day. It should not be normal for your children to feel this way, either. People need to know that there is a better way to live that can be achieved by adjusting lifestyle, eating right, moving more, and paying attention. When you start to pay attention to what you are putting into your mouth and mind, once you slow down and assess and respond to what your body needs, you are guaranteed to feel better, and once you know what that is like, you will never go back to the new normal again. That won’t be good enough for you or your family anymore.
I have been there. Forgetting what it was like to actually have abundant energy every day or what it was like to spring out of bed ready to meet the day’s challenges rather than dragging myself through it. I thought the struggle was something we all did. I thought I was prone to migraines and that popping Advil was something I had to do to get by. I thought Tylenol was the answer to my children’s fevers. I thought I was just one of those people who got bloated when I ate bread, but I still ate the bread. I never thought to look for the causes. Until I started to get fat and my knees started to give me trouble and my fatigue caused me to fall asleep while reading to my children and in the middle of a sentence. I started to heal myself through investigating why I was getting sick.. And then my daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. That’s when I really gave my head a shake. Something just didn’t compute. And I knew that there was more to this thing called health.
