What is Sickening the Children?
Guest: Pediatrician Dr. Michelle Perro Co-Author, What’s Making our Children Sick
The following is from What’s Making Our Children Sick by Doctors Michelle Perro and Vincanne Adams…
“It is clear that our kids are getting more food allergies, food sensitivities and chronic health problems related to diet than ever before. According to 2013 data from the Center for child and Adolescent Health Policy, over half of US children and teens live with a chronic condition. Approximately 40 percent of American children now have a allergy.
“This is remarkable in a nation that spends more on its health care and provides more drugs on a per capita basis to its population than any nation in the world.
“Is it possible that we are doing something wrong? Is it possible that all of these chronic problems in our kids are related to something so basic as food?
“We believe our kids are sick with chronic ailments today because of the cataclysm of at least three things:
- Living in a toxic environment from chemical exposure, rather than from microbial infections, making the foods we eat a source of disease.
- Outmoded models of clinical care and disease causation.
- A scientific community that is embattled when it comes to food-health science.

The U.S. population is sick because the food grown in this country
has little in the way of vitamin and mineral content. The USDA
nutritional data base shows that the vitamin/mineral content of
the food grown in this country has fallen by an average of 40% since 1970- and it was not good in 1970. A well known researcher has stated-
“Cancers interested me to no end. Cancers in mice fed poor food grew
readily; cancerous mice fed food from good soil rarely got worse and often got better.” Dr Earp Thomas, a pioneer in biotechnology made this statement in 1908.
You can’t grow good food on wore out soil using typical NPK fertilizer.
