It can be tough to convince parents that food has an impact on behaviour. When did processed foods become "normal"?Research shows that food additives contribute to attention deficit disorder that affects almost one in ten children with many more suffering a milder version. A landmark new paper in the Lancet, found that delayed food sensitivities caused attention deficit disorder and removing food sensitivities could reverse attention deficit disorder in 75 percent of children. ...

Prescription antacid use in babies boosts risk of allergies | CBC News

cbc.ca

Infants who are prescribed antacids like Zantac or Pepcid are more likely to develop childhood allergies, perhaps because these drugs may alter their gut bacteria, a new large study suggests.

I decided to re-post with my commentary after hearing this story hit the news today. The scary reality is that infections spread by bugs like ticks and mosquitos are rising at alarming rates. Will this keep Canadians from enjoying the great outdoors? I hope not. We simply need to develop some new habits around protecting ourselves and our children from these threats.

The last time I visited my family in Germany 10 years age, we went for a hike in the woods. When we returned, my cousin insisted that I strip down my young children and check them for ticks. I was surprised, but this was a commonplace habit after being outdoors in many countries, and something we could learn from here in Canada. Its time to develop some new habits to make our great outdoors more safe:

1. Use bug repellant. Spray your clothes with a DEET based spray and your skin with a natural bug spray containing citronella. I keep both versions on the deck at my cottage and my home.
2. Invest in long sleeved summer wear that is cool but provides coverage.
3. Wear a hat - ticks love the scalp, hair line and behind the ears.
4. Tuck your pants into your socks when walking in long grass.
5. Take bug spray on your Caribbean vacation. Sand fleas are known to spread Bartonella. I suggest spraying your legs from the knee down if you are walking the beach.
6. Have a shower with soap after gardening or hiking.
7. Beware the "summer flu" (fever and chills in the summer) which can be a sign of an infection from a bite that went unnoticed.
8. ANY TYPE OF RASH from a bug bite should be examined by a Lyme literate doctor. Bullseye rashes are not the only manifestation of Lyme disease. ... See MoreSee Less

Margarine is the worst kind of food habit leftover from the low fat decades (70’s and 80s). Hydrogenated fats are absolutely toxic and yet this product is still often recommended for cardiac patients in conventional circles. A great example of how it takes 20 years for evidence to express itself in clinical practise.Margarine is synthetic, toxic gunk...
