Why should a child take Nutritional Supplements?

In my clinic as a homeopathic pediatrician, my efforts are dedicated to understanding
what promotes health. This includes what causes, what prevents, as well as what heals
the diverse conditions affecting our children. Careful nurturing through the formative years
creates the basis for good health throughout life. On the physical level, this means a
healthful diet and nutritional supplements.

- Studies from around the world show that modern farming methods have resulted in
depleted soil conditions. Hence, the foods grown on that soil no longer contain the full
spectrum of essential nutrients needed for healthy development, strong immune function
and emotional and mental vitality.

- Fast foods, junk foods, processed foods, poor dietary habits, and the finicky appetites of
many children also require nutritional supplementation to correct, and balance nutritional
deficiencies.

- The extraordinary increase in exposure to environmental pollutants and toxicity from this
century's industrial pursuits creates the need for extra immune and anti-oxidant protection
for today's children.

A child who does not receive enough of all the essential vitamins, minerals and essential
fatty acids will be much more prone to a wide variety of illnesses. I developed the
ChildLife line of nutritional supplements to increase awareness about these deficiencies
and their consequences, and to provide all the necessary ingredients in a great tasting
and readily available form.

The body and mind developed during childhood create the foundation for the rest of your
child's life. It is my hope that ChildLife Essentials will play an ongoing role in developing
and maintaining many healthful and hopeful lives.
