According to Mt. Sinai Medical School, there are
many illness' caused by toxic substances such
as pesticides. They are studying the role
other toxins play on the new childhood diseases
triggered by environmental factors. They call
this the new epidemic.
Mothers of Many is for
ALL caring parents! This includes parent's with children who are ill and are particularly affected by toxic chemicals and want to improve their children's symptoms or prevent exacerbation of their condition as well as those mother's who want to prevent health problems in the future. All children are in the high risk group but those with existing conditions face exacerbation of their condition/symptoms such as those with Attention
Deficit Disorder, Asthma, Cancer, Autism, Tourettes Syndrome, Multiple Chemicals Sensitivites (MCS), Parkinson's, etc.
Quotation from an EPA/Presidential announcement:
"Children are at a disproportionate risk from environmental health threats because -- pound for pound -- they breathe more air, drink more water, and eat more food than adults. Children's behavior, such as playing close to the ground, leads to greater exposures to these threats. In addition, children's developing systems are more vulnerable to environmental threats, which can result in illnesses such as asthma attacks or reduced intellectual development". The announcement can be accessed under the Links section of 4MOM.
