Abstract: Toxins and toxicants of many types are ubiquitous, and they surround us from all vantage points. We have seen an increase in exposures to toxins of all kinds over the last many decades. Chronic neurodevelopmental conditions, mental illness and physical illness in children has increased dramatically over this same time frame. Though toxins / toxicants and electromagnetic fields are harmful for all humans, plants and animals, they are uniquely dangerous for the developing baby in utero, infants, children and teens. Come learn what toxins are disrupting the biochemistry of our children, and the impact these can have on their de- velopment and lives. Leave with concrete tips regarding how to prevent exposures, help your child detoxify and heal, in order that they may truly thrive and reach their highest potential.
