I don't even have to read this to see how absolutely ridiculous this country and it's healthcare has become.
Another way to read this: Half the time you bring your child to a doctor he will find something wrong enough to need a doctor's care. However, by the time the child gets older, it gets to be more difficult and only 8 percent of the time is there something actually wrong.
We have fat kids, some have asthma, and ADHD. Two of these three are questionable as far as diseases.... but hey... we'll treat them anyway.
FLUFF and a waste of science dollars!

Hello, World. Read up! One in every two children is Vitamin D deficient according to the world's leading Vitamin D scientists. www.vitamindhealth.org / Dr. Michael F. Holick / see his original New England Journal of Medicine Articles / watch his External Link: Presentation to European Calcified Tissue Symposium (click and wait 3-4 min for it to buffer. If your screen goes black, tap any key on keyboard). This video is very interesting -- entertaining, actually -- and sobering. Also, vitamindcouncil.com. Or, simply search on "children and vitamin D deficiency". You will be astounded. And because many pregnant women and nursing mothers are vitamin D deficient, there is research that these deficiencies have an impact on babies and children by predisposing them to illness that may not emerge until later in life. This is considered a pandemic. Ignorance is the root of many misfortunes. Don't let this deficiency happen to our children. At least educate yourself and then come to your own conclusions.
