Children who suffer from a catastrophic illness has become a growing concern. To help parents, we added a list of articles, blogs, and podcasts concerning the common health dangers facing children today that you can read or listen to below. For instance, each year in the U.S. there are approximately 12,400 children between the ages of one and 19 years of age who are diagnosed with cancer. About one in 300 boys and one in 333 girls will develop cancer before their 20th birthday. These are astonishing numbers; however, if a percentage of these cancers are attributed to pollutants in our environment, as suggested by the American Cancer Society, then the good news is that parents can help protect their children and reduce their children's risk of getting cancer through natural health remedies, some that are outlined in the articles below. We also discuss other children's health issues such as vaccination, diet, obesity, and mental health. We hope you enjoy these articles, and check back as the list will continue to grow.
