1. Our Children are being poisoned - by Marjan, author of Fasting Firepower and
600 Devils
Children have less knowledge in matters of health, and pound for pound they
eat more food, breathe more air and drink more water than an adult. Their hand-
to-mouth behaviors and activities close to the ground increase their chances for
exposure to hazardous substances. Children’s metabolic pathways are more
fragile and immature, so they detoxify and excrete pollutants less efficiently than
adults. In addition, children develop rapidly and their growth can be disrupted by
hazardous substances. Because of today’s marked increase to toxic exposure,
the behavioral disorders and the incidence of infant and childhood cancers in
particular are rising at an astronomical rate.
Studies have shown that leading causes of today’s childhood disorders is a
combination of dietary issues and environmental toxins. Children are especially
vulnerable to toxic chemicals, pharmaceuticals and manufactured artificial

2. substances, as well as to the processed foods and drinks pushed by the
unconscionable food and beverage conglomerates. A substantial number of
childhood allergies are attributed to an underlying toxicity and blood tests reveal
deficiencies in many important nutrients. It has also been found that some of the
drugs children are being given for their conditions actually further deplete some
of these necessary vitamins and nutrients.
Leading causes of child poisoning are personal care products, cleaning
products, medications, synthetic vitamins, topical creams, tobacco products,
antihistamines, pesticides, hydrocarbons, batteries, drugs, alcohol and toxic
plants.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that every day 374
children up to the age of 19 are treated for poisoning in emergency rooms in the
USA. At least two of them die every day.i Each year, more than 500,000 children
under the age of 5 experience poisoning related to medications. More than
60,000 children are treated in emergency rooms due to accidental unsupervised
ingestions each year.
Heavy metals like mercury, manganese, arsenic, aluminum and lead, even at
low levels, are extremely harmful to children and can cause ADHD (Attention
Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), autism, depression, spectrum disorder, ADD
(Attention Deficit Disorder) and other cognitive disorders.ii Heavy metal testing,
including blood, hair and urine samples all have drawbacks and are often not
conclusive. If metal poisoning is suspected in a child, a comprehensive detox
program and elimination diet under the supervision of a highly trained
professional is essential. Thankfully, researchers are beginning to uncover many
of the causes of child maladies, such as the nutritional deficiencies, toxic
chemicals, processed foods, GMOs, food additives, food coloring, preservatives,
pesticides, herbicides, phthalates, refined sugars and junk food.
It is normal for children to emit excess energy, get distracted, upset or
argumentative, but when these behaviors are out of control and cause harm to
the child or others, a diagnosis of a behavioral disorder is often made. Sadly,
there is an epidemic of such disorders affecting children worldwide. Research

3. indicates that one in six children in the USA alone is afflicted with developmental
and behavioral disorders.iii In third world countries, no firm statistics are
available, but the disorders are much worse as children are exposed to many
more risks, including poverty, malnutrition, lack of education, lack of industrial
controls, lack of health care, untreated infectious diseases and unfavorable
home environments. One-third of children in low and middle-income countries
fail to reach developmental milestones.iv
Unfortunately, many allopathic doctors and psychiatrists do not recognize these
underlying causes and simply dispense pills and pharmaceutical cocktails to our
children that artificially increase the level of chemicals in their young brains.
These pills include Ritalin, allergy medication, Trileptal, Concerta,
antidepressants like Prozac, painkillers, Adderall and a host of other
pharmaceuticals. One in ten children are now on drugs, an increase of over
300% in the last few years. Of course, there may be an organic, underlying
medical problem to some of the disorders and all possibilities must be explored,
but there is also the potential that a child experiencing these issues is just toxic.
These toxins, as we have noted, are everywhere, even in the mother’s womb.v
The brain is connected to everything in the body and brain disorders can be
caused by what is in the body. Children exhibit a myriad of cognitive symptoms,
generally coming from brain malfunctions or the weakest parts of their
constitutions. Adverse symptoms can include sleeplessness, anxiety, autism,
irrational behavior, hypersensitivity, pain, muscle spasms, cramps, fear,
inflammation, a craving for sweets and the many psychological deficit disorders
we have noted. For some of these children, the treatment can be relatively
simple. We can discontinue their medication and address their nutrient
deficiencies. We can also modify their lifestyle by adding natural nutrition and
antioxidants, exercise, fresh air, proper rest, and most of all an effective
detoxification program. In one study, conducted for at least three months, ADHD
was reduced by 60% simply by switching to a healthy diet called a few-foods
diet (FFD).vi There are a number of other studies that come to similar
conclusions. vii

4. To reduce heavy metal toxicity and other toxins, it is imperative to clear and
strengthen detoxification pathways, replenish natural vitamins and minerals and
supplement the diet with probiotics, which several studies have shown to be
effective.viii But before diving headlong into any treatment, and before stopping
any medication for a child, it is imperative that a person consult a reputable and
knowledgeable physician.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could find answers to your child’s infirmities and watch
them experience a renewed vitality. What if you could find your child’s optimum
level of health and provide them, as well as yourself, a way of living a longer,
healthier life. Fasting Firepower provides a compelling overview of what we are
all being subjected to and provides genuine solutions. NO ONE SHOULD LEAD
A DEBILITATED LIFE FOR LACK OF THIS VITAL INFORMATION. Marjan
combines science, history, spiritual wisdom, and over 50 years of personal
experience in one of the most insightful books ever written on fasting,
detoxification and natural healing. The straightforward answers may surprise
you, challenge you, and quite possibly transform a life!
