CHICAGO – The lives of nearly 900 babies would be saved each year, along with billions of dollars, if 90 percent of U.S. women breast-fed their babies for the first six months of life, a cost analysis says.
The findings suggest that there are hundreds of deaths and many more costly illnesses each year from health problems that breast-feeding may help prevent. These include stomach viruses, ear infections, asthma, juvenile diabetes, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and even childhood leukemia.
The magnitude of health benefits linked to breast-feeding is vastly underappreciated, said lead author Dr. Melissa Bartick, an internist and instructor at Harvard Medical School. Breast-feeding is sometimes considered a lifestyle choice, but Bartick calls it a public health issue.
The $13 billion in estimated losses due to the low breast-feeding rate includes an economists’ calculation partly based on lost potential lifetime wages — $10.56 million per death.
The methods were similar to a widely cited 2001 government report that said $3.6 billion could be saved each year if 50 percent of mothers breast-fed their babies for six months. Medical costs have climbed since then and breast-feeding rates have increased only slightly.
About 43 percent of U.S. mothers do at least some breast-feeding for six months, but only 12 percent follow government guidelines recommending that babies receive only breast milk for six months.
Dr. Larry Gray, a University of Chicago pediatrician, called the analysis compelling and said it’s reasonable to strive for 90 percent compliance.
The pediatrics academy says babies should be given a chance to start breast-feeding immediately after birth. Bartick said that often doesn’t happen, and at many hospitals newborns are offered formula even when their mothers intend to breast-feed.
If you have to breast feed some supplements may help to keep your child healthy.
March 22, 2010 The debate is raging on how to help sick people. I do not hear a lot about how to help people not to get sick.
Exercise regularly. Why do some people take pills every day but neglect to exercise? It is much cheaper than paying for medications and doctors.
We can stop buying Arab oil if we just used common sense and use our body’s abilities to move by itself. And we would save a bunch on health care, because if we would not be so lazy, we would have health not sickness. And because we would get healthier, we will not be stressed out so much about the health insurance cost.

There are many misconceptions about a baby’s bottom:
- It is supposed to be perfectly smooth and rash-free
- Diaper rash is abnormal
- Diaper rash is a sign of food or formula allergies
- Diaper rash means the baby has bad diarrhea or a yeast infection
Having a diaper rash is a normal part of being a baby. There are many ways you can limit the amount of rash, but from time to time it will flare up again.
Start with ultra sensitive skin, add the chemicals and moisture of urine and stools, cover the area with a diaper that rubs back and forth, and you have diaper rash. This damaged skin is susceptible to the invasion of bacteria and yeast, which can make the rash worse.

This is very useful for us. But considering all the chemical around us and the difficalty of maintaining the perfect diet we use natural supplements and vitamins.
September 19, 2009 1. Junk food makers spend billions advertising unhealthy foods to kids.
According to the Federal Trade Commission, food makers spend some $1.6 billion annually to reach children through the traditional media as well the Internet, in-store advertising, and sweepstakes. An article published in 2006 in the Journal of Public Health Policy puts the number as high as $10 billion annually. Promotions often use cartoon characters or free giveaways to entice kids into the junk food fold. PepsiCo has pledged that it will advertise only “Smart Spot” products to children under 12.
We need to fix this problem!
Children often have very particular tastes in food and are unlikely to eat a wide variety of items. It is crucial that children in need of digestive, metabolic or neurological support consume a specially formulated multi-vitamin.
“Spectrum”(TM) are the most effective vitamins and supplements for kids in Isotonic form. Testimonials are amazing!

2. The studies that food producers support tend to minimize health concerns associated with their products.
In fact, according to a review of hundreds of studies that looked at the health effects of milk, juice, and soda, the likelihood of conclusions favorable to the industry was several times higher among industry-sponsored research than studies that received no industry funding. If a study is funded by the industry, it may be closer to advertising than science.

May 26, 2009 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 16 percent of children (over 9 million) 6-19 years old are overweight or obese — a number that has tripled since 1980. In addition to the 16 percent of children and teens ages 6 to 19 who were overweight in 1999-2002, another 15 percent were considered at risk of becoming overweight.

Here I found some supplements for kids that will help. It will not replace the healthy diet.
