Why children are at a greater risk of toxic overload?
1 min read
During the first months and years of life, a child’s organs are rapidly developing, making them more prone to functional damage. The nervous system continues to develop throughout childhood, and, therefore, is especially vulnerable to toxic chemicals in their personal environment, including those found in vaccines, food and water. In the same way young bodies more readily absorb nutrients, they also readily absorb toxins.
At issue is a child’s ability to metabolize, detoxify, and excrete toxins, a system which differs substantially from that of an adult. When chemicals are tested and determined to be “safe”, the standards are based on adults’ tolerances and not the tolerance of a small child. It is difficult to comprehend such blatant ignorance with regards to safety measures in place for children, but this is, indeed, true.
The number of cases involving childhood diseases such as autism, ADHD and certain types of cancers have been rising steadily, and these conditions have all been linked to high levels of toxicity. The prevailing wisdom on these neurological diseases is that an underlying genetic predisposition may be present coupled with an early and unrelenting shock to the developing nervous system, which then triggers a dramatic change in the child’s brain. A series of exposures during a time when the child is not yet equipped to handle toxins can influence both his/her present and future health.
