One in every 88 boys diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

This is the latest shocking statistic. Maybe we are more hyper-aware than 20 years ago - but ASD is not normal, and we should be outraged by this statistic! 

The evidence points to Toxic Overload which is damaging their fragile genetic structure. Immunizations have been identified as one source of toxins, but they are everywhere. Our environment is overflowing with toxins - so much so that poisonous toxins are even found in mother's milk and the umbilical chords of newborns. 

As a parent, you may be panicking right now.  Yes - we want you to be aware - we want you to get angry - so angry that you'll help us make changes. We need to shut down the sources of this toxic pollution. We all know about air pollution from factories and vehicles. However, the greatest threat to our health and that of our children today comes from our food. 

The survival of every cell in our body depends on good, wholesome nutrition. Vegetables and fruits every color of the rainbow, nuts, seeds, natural whole grains, naturally raised and healthy animals and fish all have important roles in cell nourishment. But natural, healthy sources of these foods are getting harder to find. Why? Because we douse our foods with pesticides, herbicides, and more. We feed our animals these toxic foods and raise them in unhealthy conditions creating animals plagued by disease and filled with stress hormones. 
Our precious water - that which makes up over 70% of our body - is so toxic that we must filter it and add more chemicals to make it "safe" to drink. 

My purpose is not to completely depress you. I am here to tell you that YOU CAN DO SOMETHING about this today. Your body is a remarkable miracle of strength and healing. What it needs to heal itself and cleanse itself of the poisons is beautiful, whole-food nutrition and clean water.  Nothing fortified, pre-packaged, super-sized, deep-fried or instant can feed your body the nutrients it craves. 

So where do you start. 
Pay attention when you shop - read labels.
Buy organic when you can. 
Buy grass fed and free-range beef and poultry. Yes it costs more but you only need 3-5oz a day - less for some. 
Use reverse osmosis water.
Get rid of fluoride toothpaste.
Get rid of cleaning chemicals. 
Use natural soaps, shampoos, cosmetics. 

Probably the most important thing you can do right now - today - is to start feeding you body something everyday that will supply a mega-serving of super healthy phytonutrients from a whole food source. This will do two things: 
1) your body will start cleansing out the toxins and 
2) your body will have the nutrition it needs to repair and rebuild damaged cells. 

Please don't let anyone tell you that you can get what you need just by eating food. That just isn't true anymore - at least right now. When we have a chance to heal Mother Earth, that may become true again. 

There are many sources of healing nutrition available. I have researched quite a few and found several that I truly believe make a difference. We have seen countless cases of ASD improve and even reverse when young bodies are given healing nutrition.  

I would be happy to tell you more and help you decide where to start. Please contact me at maryslifeforce@gmail.com or call 608-245-9308.  Nothing is impossible. This journey can start today with a single step. Just please start. 

Be well always,
Mary

Toxic Chicken for Your Kids

 What chemicals are you allowing your children to eat? When we were kids, going to a 'restaurant' of any kind was a huge treat. Fast food restaurants were new and we visited them maybe once a month.

Today - not only are we eating at Fast Food Restaurants on average 2.5 times a week, but the schools have adopted many of the popular fast foods for school lunches just so kids will eat them. However, that's a whole different subject. . . .

Farmer's Market Salad

Perfect day! Started with a glass of Body Balance and an apple. Then off to the Madison Farmer's Market with Mark and Dan. WOW! Way too much to choose from. We found some wonderful mixed spring greens, arugula, spinach, two types of radishes, purple and white spring onions and a couple of plants. Mark and Dan also found some amazing bakery and I bought a loaf of Cress Spring Bakery's Sunny Spelt bread. Yum!

So I made this delicious salad for lunch with all of the greens mixed together, the purple onions, radishes and some baby portobellos we also found at the market. I added some green chick peas and the dressing of Braggs Cider Vinegar, Braggs Liquid Aminos, organic coconut oil, salt, pepper and a dab of organic horseradish.  Add a slice of the Spelt bread and this was a great ending to a perfect morning.

Hope your Saturday is wonderful.
Be well ~

Soil Depletion is Affecting Your Family

A recent article by Dr. Mercola succinctly states why you should not rely on food to provide you with the nutrients (especially minerals) that your body needs daily. This information is everywhere now. If you choose not to believe it, that is, of course, your choice. My concern is for children. I've seen pretty incredible things happen when those missing nutrients are supplied in a bio-available form. For some of the sickest - lives have been changed; for the majority - kids are leading much healthier lives with calm, focused energy and joy.

(in Dr. Mercola's words)
"Over the past century, the quality of fresh food has declined due to soil depletion, unsustainable farming practices, overproduction of crops, and the use of pesticides and herbicides. You can no longer assume you’re getting all of the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and phytonutrients you need by eating a multitude of fresh produce—even if you’re eating organically.
Not surprisingly, a calorie today will provide you less nutrition than a calorie from 100, or even 50 years ago.
Three recent studies of historical food composition have shown 5 to 40 percent declines in some of the minerals in fresh produce, and another study found a similar decline in our protein sources.[1]
So now, more than ever, you must be careful to maximize the “bang for your buck” when it comes to the foods you eat."

If you want to know more, please call me / email me . I'd be happy to discuss this with you. : )
