Nutrition for the Children, Toddlers through Puberty

Food supplements mean less illness 


One of the biggest problems in raising a family is illness.  If it isn't colds it's chicken pox or the flu.  The immune system is devastated by junk foods and sugar.  Runny noses, fevers and infections tell the story of an immune system that is very weak in many children.  Food supplements won't cure all the world's ills, but they do raise the family up a few notches on the health ladder.  And sometimes they make dramatic improvements.

Food supplements reduce birth defects
As covered in the earlier blog about nutrition and pregnancy, we'll do a reminder here.  The following article about birth defects and supplementation appeared in the Oregonian, Portland, Oregon, December 3, 1988.  "Women who took vitamins around the time they got pregnant were much less likely than other women to have babies with birth defects of the brain and spine, a comprehensive study has found."  The researchers interviewed mothers of 347 babies born with the defects and 2,829 mothers of defect-free babies, chosen randomly for comparison.

"We found that women who reported using multivitamins three months prior to conception and in the first three months after conception had a 50-60% reduction in risk of having a baby with anencephaly or spina bifida compared with women who reported not having used any vitamins in that same time period."

The Phytonutrients
The greatest discovery in recent years, nutritionally, has been the role of phytonutrients in improving the immune system and protecting against cancer and heart disease..  You can greatly reduce colds and flu in your family by giving your children either daily Carotenoid Complex supplements.  Studies by the USDA show that just three Carotenoid Complex capsules per day boost the immune system 37% in only 20 days.  At last, we have a real defense against the common cold and flu virus.

Vita-Squares and Vita-Gard
As your child grows and develops the ability to chew Vita-Squares provides a delightful way to give just what he or she needs for proper development.  Kids love them because they really taste good.

Vita-Squares is the only children's chewable that takes the hassle out of taking vitamins.  Since vitamins don't taste good by themselves, NeoLife developed an ingenious process called "micro-encapsulation."  With this technique the vitamins and minerals are enclosed in tiny bubbles which are then pressed into a healthful, good tasting real food tablet which is flavored with natural fruit flavor, and no sugar.  The child enjoys the good flavored tablet, and the bubbles with the vitamins are swallowed, where they dissolve in the stomach.  Now, the Tre-en-en Grain Oil Concentrates included, you have a complete supplement that supplies the lipids and sterols needed for proper hormone production.  The result is a product that kids love, and one that really delivers their childhood nutrition in a superior way.

Vita-Gard supplies a wide spectrum of phyutonutrients from natural food sources in a chewable and delicious form.  Their carotenoids and flavonoids help protect your child from colds and flu, heart disease, and cancer.  Also included are the detoxifying nutrients vitamin A, Vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium and zinc. 

Liqui-Vite Multivitamin  offers the first and most convenient way of supplementing an infant's formula.  A few DROPS each day gives a real boost to your precious little child.  It is a good tasting, and offers the extra help needed for proper growth and development at just the time when it is needed most.  Easy-to-swallow liquid form.  Provides a full day's supply of the 12 most important vitamins plus a whole-food based nutrients.  Includes Carotenoids to support immunity.  Tre-en-en for cellular energy.  Whole food carotenoids and flavonoids for broad spectrum protection.  Choline and inositol to support brain development.  Great citrus flavor, versatile -- mixes easily in other liquids for bottles and sippy cups.  Use this before children have enough teeth and can chew the Vita-Squares and Vita-Gard supplements. 

Chewable  All-C And chewable NeoCal (for children who are lactose intolerant or simply don't like milk).  All C for additional immune support and healthy teeth and eyes.  Vitamin C equivalent of 4 oranges in each tablet.  Delicious cherry flavor both adults and children enjoy.  Neo-Cal builds strong bones and slow down bone loss.  Promote digestive comfort.  Minty fresh chewable calcium tablets includes Vitamin C and magnesium for enhanced absorption.

Vitamin C and SIDS
One of the most shocking of all experiences is a child's death from the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).  No family is immune to this danger.  Thousands of parents of apparently healthy children have experienced this devastating ordeal.  Dr Kalokerinos, MD, an Australian physician has found that SIDS is nothing more than infantile scurvy.  Based on over six thousand (6,000) cases, Dr Kalokerinos has demonstrated that the administration of Vitamin C to pregnant and nursing mothers and to babies on formula prevents SIDS 100% of the time. 

As your child gets older and is able to swallow pills or vitamins, consider continuing their nutritional supplements for their continuing growth and development.
Formula IV and Formula IV Plus promote growth and development.
Some parents worry about the kids eating them out of house and home.  They grow up so fast they can scarcely keep them in clothes.  Then there is the child who never seems to develop.  He picks at his food.  He is smaller than the other kids.  No energy.  He wants to watch TV instead of playing.

Formula IV and Formula IV Plus are the best supplements available for both children and adults.  As soon as a child is able to swallow a capsule, Formula IV provides a whole new nutritional environment for the development of mind and body.  Notice in an earlier blog about Formula IV and it's benefits, the tremendous help the Tre-en-en Grain Oil Concentrates are to all of us, whether child or adult.

Formula IV and Formula IV Plus are doctor-designed to improve the function of the glandular system.  A child with lazy adrenals will have many physical problems that are hard to diagnose.  Formula IV was originally designed by doctors to provide us with what we need for better glandular response.  As soon as a child is able to swallow a Formula IV capsule, it goes to work normalizing the glands, allowing them to function as they should.

We were once introduced to a family with a ten year old child who was far behind in development.  He was small, had no appetite, and could not participate in normal kids' activities.  A few months on Formula IV made a big difference.  To his parents amazement he was soon eating well, growing like a weed, and able to join in sports like all the rest of the kids.

Formula IV and Formula IV Plus helps during Puberty
Most children have more energy than their parents know what to do with (until it comes to work).  But then there is the child who is constantly tired.  There has to be a reason for fatigue.  It may be due to a disease such as mononucleosis.  Or it may be caused by an under-active thyroid gland, producing a sluggish metabolism.  Again it may be a poorly functioning endocrine system.  Usually the latter is the case.

Formula IV was designed by doctors over 50 yrs ago to help with this very problem.  Endocrinologists in Southern California hospital discovered a way to help strengthen the glandular system through nutrition, and this resulted in improved energy levels.  So start the kids on Formula IV or Formula IV Plus (has iron) as soon as they can swallow a pill and you will be rewarded by a healthier, more energetic family.

Zinc supplements and wakeful infants
 What is more draining on a parent and a child than an infant who is awake most of the night?  Then they are tired and cranky through the day because they could not sleep during the night.  One of our grand daughters had this problem a few years ago, and I just read an article in a nutrition magazine about wakeful infants not having sufficient zinc.  I called my daughter about this, and she began including a small amount of zinc in the formula.  That very night the child slept and so did mom.  The zinc was continued and so was the sleep.  This was the end of wakefulness and crankiness, and the answer to a frustrated mother's prayers. 

Vitamin A helps prevent infections
Certain infectious diseases, though entirely diverse, have one thing in common -- they invade mucous membrane tissues which depend on Vitamin A for their health and protection.  The lungs, stomach, colon, kidneys, bladder, eyes, ears and sinus cavities are all lined with mucous membranes.  Without sufficient supplies of Vitamin A these tissues can be unhealthy and become the breeding ground for bacteria.

Children are often subjected to volleys of antibiotics in an attempt to correct problems that are aggravated by too little vitamin A in the diet.  Antibiotics destroy the infection, but they also do damage by destroying the good bacteria of the intestine along with the bad.  This makes the child vulnerable to runaway Candida Yeast problems which can be as bad as the original infection.  If your child is susceptible to ear infections, kidney or bladder infections, or other infections of the mucous membranes, this may be their body's way of saying "I need more vitamin A".

Vitamin A  and Zinc help prevent Acne
Acne is another relative of this Vitamin A deficiency syndrome.  The skin, as well as the mucous membranes, is nourished and protected by Vitamin A.  Teenagers who are plagued with acne have often previously suffered from other symptoms of Vitamin A deficiency such as kidney or bladder problems, poor night vision, or ear infections.  Vitamin A and Zinc on a regular basis can help prevent embarrassing acne.  While some people are wary about too much Vitamin A, too little is worse.  Those of us who suffer these deficiency symptoms may need more than the average person just to maintain normal levels.  NeoLife natural, water soluble Vitamin A and Chelated Zinc will restore the normal level and help prevent these skin and mucous membrane disorders from arising.

Hyperactive and Attention Deficit Disorders (ADD & ADHD)
Many years ago hyperactivity and ADD were little known.  this is a phenomenon of today's modern diet.  It has come into existence with the food processing industry which adds sugar, food dyes, and other chemicals to our food.  No amount of vitamins or good nutrition will help overcome hyperactivity as long as the child continues to be bombarded by sugars and/or food dyes to which he may be extremely sensitive.  If the parent and child will work together to cut these offenders from the diet, that is the first step.  Then they  need to start the day with a nutritious breakfast of Super Ease or NouriShake protein.  This will set the proper blood sugar level for the day, and go a long way toward restoring the ability to concentrate and get along with others.  

Supplements boost IQ
"Daily vitamin and mineral supplements dramatically increase children's IQ, a university study shows.  IQ's rose an average of nine points among 30 children who took the supplements daily for 8 months as part of the study.  60 other children who did not get the vitamins and minerals showed no significant increase in IQ scores.  'The results were spectacular,' declared Dr David Benton, a senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Swansea in England, who conducted the study.

"Dr Benton said he was 'very surprised' at the 9-point jump in IQ among those who took the supplements.  Doctors believe the vitamins increase IQ levels because they corrected nutritional deficiencies that affect the functioning of the brain.  Many children have these deficiencies, experts report."


What supplements are helpful for children?
  • Liquid-Vit for the infant
  • Vita Squares for the small child
  • Formula IV or Formula IV Plus for the developing older child
  • Stress 30 or Sports 30 for the older child involved in school activities or sports
  • PhytoDefense or Vita-Gard for improved immune system and protection against cancer and heart disease (especially if it's a family trait to  be concerned about)
  • Vitamin C for the immune system and collagen building
  • Vitamin A and Zinc for smoother skin and less infections
