Отрывок из книги
Firstly, thank you to my beautiful son, Ethan, for giving me permission to write and share your personal journey in the hope to inspire others to live a healthier life. You inspire me every day to live my best life. To my husband Jeremy for always standing beside me and believing in me, when no one else did. To Sienna for being the light that fills my world and makes a grey day bright. And to Glenda, the person who gave me the foundations I needed to heal my son. You sadly passed away 2 years after Ethan’s recovery, but I will always remember the precious wisdom that you gave me. You were our fairy godmother, and we are forever grateful.
Over the last 100 years, our diet has moved from fresh, wholesome, homegrown foods to processed, refined, junk food with very little nutritional value. Even fresh food has been contaminated with chemical pesticides and fungicidal waxes. The amount of chemicals and other toxins that are absorbed into our children, each and every day, are so numerous that the average immune system just cannot cope. The health crisis that we are facing is due to the unnecessary chemical toxins that are added to the foods we are unknowingly feeding our family. The modern health system then tries to counteract the illnesses with more chemical toxins in the form of prescription medicines, but these medications only cause more side effects and further illness. Something needs to change, because this way of thinking is not creating health but further illness. It’s all about awareness. When we know better, we do better. We need to be aware of what we are feeding our children. We need to stop thinking healthy food is too expensive or too difficult to prepare. Because believe me … it’s not. My son Ethan is living proof that everything we eat either feeds disease or fights it. I was able to recover him from a serious illness through eliminating chemicals from his food and feeding him foods that nourished and healed his mind and body. It’s not a fad or another quick fix solution. It’s a lifestyle. A lifestyle that will not only heal this generation of children, but those generations to come.
