Why Be Sick And Tired?
America has more sick pet
most countries, because the]
much cooked food which loi
enzymes and up to 80%
nutrition. Most food you

because they use weed killei
insecticides and many harmf
chemicals in growing it, ai
then more chemicals
processing to increase shel
life. But there is a solution '
the problem.

May doctors and people are
now using a new and safer
way to remove toxins and
poisons from the body, clean
out the arteries and develop a strong immune system so it
can fight off diseases with amazing results, without any
drugs. This program supplies the immune system with
killer cells, memory and suppresser cells activity and
training, which is like manpower and equipment to any
army. It provides the immune system with all natural,
organically grown fruit, grain and vegetables” which is
like good food and ammunition to an army.
Over 40 million dollars were spent in research, and over
3000 sheets of scientific documented studies by doctors
supports many positive clinical experiences, and backs up
the patented process in providing proven products. The
cost is considerable less than drugs, chelation, radiation,
chemotherapy and operations. It does NOT interfere with
medication. There are now viruses that can not be stopped
with antibiotics, but these all natural products are
producing excellent results with supervision from doctors.
Over 3000 Doctors Have Already Switched
They have switched from drugs to alternative medicine in
order to help people recover from cancer, heart attacks,
arthritis diabetes, lupus, fibromyalgia, allergies, fatigue
and many other health problems without any side effects.
We make no health claims. We work with doctors in giving
the body all natural food grade products it needs to heal
itself. There is also a Prevention Program to help you from
getting sick. “An ounce of prevention costs far less, and is
so much better than a pound of cure” (doctor and hospital
bills). Which would you prefer, $149 a year to help prevent
a heart attack, or a $50,000 by pass operation? The choice
is yours. Let us try to help you prevent health problems.

• Berks Co.
Many parents, grandparents
and childcare providers are often
frustrated by toddlers’ and pre
schoolers’ eating patterns at
mealtime. Problem eaters will
often refuse food or will only eat
the same food, day after day. If
you have experienced some of
these problems, read on to find
possible solutions.
• Child Has Small Appetite
The growth rate of toddlers slows
at age one and so does the appe
tite. If your child doesn’t eat
much, you will need to see what
she does eat is nutritious. Offer
small sandwiches, fresh fruits,
and vegetables or leftovers as
snacks.
• Avoid allowing her to satisfy
her appetite on low nutrient
foods like candy, cake, chips or
cookies. Try to offer food before
she gets tired and cranky. Overly
hungry children are sometimes
too weak and upset to eat. Check
with your doctor to see if there
may be a medical reason for the
limited appetite.
• Child Won’t Try New Foods
Forcing a child to eat a partic
ular food usually just creates a
bad association with the food
which can last for years. About
all you can do is try various
methods of preparation and offer
it occasionally without reference
to the fact that the child didn’t
like it before.
Infants and toddlers have
more taste buds than adults do
and they may truly not like some
foods. Remember, too, that food
temperatures make a difference.
Foods that are too hot or too cold
will not be well accepted.

• Child Demands the Same
Food Over and Over It is not
uncommon for a preschooler to
go on food jags and want the
same food over and over. These
periods usually do not last too
long and are often an expression
of independence. As long as the
food in demand is not a high
sugar or other empty calorie
food, allow the child his food
choice and hope that the phase
passes quickly.
• Child Won’t Eat Vegetables
Vegetables have a bad reputa
tion, especially with children.
Creative preparation may help to
make them more acceptable. Buy
an inexpensive steamer basket
and try steaming fresh vegetables
over a small amount of boiling
water. Cook for only a few min
utes until tender, but still crisp
and brightly colored. Combine
several vegetables and steam to
gether to add color and interest.
Strong tasting vegetables like
cabbage takes on a mild, sweet
flavor when simmered just until
tender in a small amount of milk.
Forcing a child to eat vege
tables will often create unneces
sary tension at mealtime. If cook
ed vegetables are rejected with
dinner, try offering fresh vege
tables with a dip as an afternoon
snack. Children over three can
handle most vegetables served
raw. Try to stimulate an interest
in vegetables by allowing your
child to help select them at the
market or grow them at home.
• Child Spills Often; Uses Fin
gers This is normal behavior
for young people. Coordination is
not yet well developed so fingers
work better than forks. Feeling
food with the hands is one way
toddlers can explore their envi
ronment.
When mealtime spills occur,
handle them calmly and matter
of factly. When you give too
much attention to your child’s
bad behavior, she may begin to
seek attention by intentionally
spilling or misbehaving.
Be gentle and consistent with
enforcing table manners and
know that as the child matures.
so will their eating
habits. Remember to
sit and eat with the
child and set a good
example.
The greatest
gift you
can give is
commitment
to a child.
