Cancer
Childhood cancer rates are skyrocketing. In 2018, 15,000 or more children were diagnosed with cancer. American kids are 70 percent more likely to die before adulthood than kids in other rich countries with mortality of kids in the US higher than in peer nations since the 1980s. It is impossible to have a purely genetic epidemic. However, some children can be more susceptible to environmental toxins. Research scientists have determined that the ever-increasing cancer rates are due to environmental culprits. Children’s Health Defense is committed to stopping all epidemics by stopping the toxins causing illness and disease.
Australian Data: Cancer Epidemic in Gardasil Girls
The Australian government’s cancer data show the dramatic rise in cervical cancer in young girls vaccinated with Gardasil.
Childhood Cancer Caused Largely by Environmental Factors, Report Finds
For children in the U.S., cancer is the leading cause of death from disease. Worldwide, cancer has become so prevalent and devastating that some may use the phrase “like curing cancer” when describing something unfeasible or highly complicated. Yet in September, a team of more than 60 stakeholders and leaders in the health, science, business, policy and advocacy sectors collaborated to take a different, perhaps less flashy approach — preventing cancer, specifically by ending the use of toxic chemicals.
Chronic Illness in Children—Who Is Sounding the Alarm?
Children in the United States are experiencing a serious and historically unprecedented burden of chronic illness. American children display consistently poorer health outcomes than children in other wealthy nations, notwithstanding substantially higher per capita health care spending on U.S. children.
Dying Young—Falling Life Expectancy in the U.S.
Life expectancy in the U.S. has fallen for several years in a row, representing the “longest sustained decline in expected lifespan since the tumultuous period of 1915 to 1918.” Comparing unfavorably to their counterparts in other high-income nations, Americans lead lives that are both shorter and less healthy, with a health disadvantage that “begins at birth and extends across the life course.”
Glyphosate and Colorectal Cancer in Young Adults
Gut bacteria play a pivotal role in shoring up brain health and overall health. This fact has become a widely acknowledged talking point in scientific circles as well as in the popular press. The reverse is also true—when diet or environmental factors produce gut dysbiosis (an imbalance of the microbes that reside in the gastrointestinal tract), the imbalance can “impact the pathologies of many diseases.”
The Disturbing Increase in Colorectal Cancer in Young Adults
I’m well aware of colorectal cancer in that the disease personally touched my mother in her 70s and my brother in his late 50s. But I was not aware of the alarming new trend of young adults in their 20s and 30s being diagnosed with this devastating disease.
