When I made comments in January 2015 concerning the health of our children, one of the first to criticize me was a pediatrician. It is not a surprise that one whose entire career is spent injecting chemicals into children would oppose my views. After all, I stand for health, he practices in a world of sickness.
Here are some facts about kids in the average pediatric practice:
1) 1 in 68 have autism spectrum disorder
2) 1 in 6 have a developmental disability
3) 1 in 12 have asthma leading to 238 deaths in 2013
4) Hundreds die of cancer
5) 200,000 childhood diabetics
6) 700,000 ear tubes placed yearly
7) 25% are overweight or obese
8) 200,000 tonsillectomies
