Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I know this is old news for most of us, But there are new members so I am repeating this disgraceful statement. 1 out of 6 children in the USA has some form of developmental or behvaior disorder. 1 out of 166 children are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder YET our government has done NOTHING about this! http://www.medicalhomeinfo.org/health/Autism%20downloads/AutismAlarm.pdf http://tinyurl.com/bnagq Who is running the CDC????? Isnt the CDC paid for by tax payers to PROTECT American tax payers?? Center for Disease Control and PREVENTION. The CDC Foundation partners with corporations, businesses and corporate foundations that share a strong commitment to helping improve the health and well being of people throughout the world. Corporations play a major role in helping CDC address national and global health threats. PHARMA Runs the CDC! Pharma is a BUISNESS and is in the Buisness to make money. http://www.cdcfoundation.org/partners/corporations/index.aspx " improve health???? " Is this why there is an epidemic in the USA for Asthma, diabetes, developmental disorders, cancer, autism, Epidemic of Deadly Atrial Fibrillation is Here, epidemic of heart disease and stroke continues. ect ect ect!!! Now this really got to me. One in five children and teens suffers from mental health problems, and the number is growing. The World Health Organization estimates that by 2020, neuropsychiatric disorders in children will swell by 50 percent compared with other health-related problems, making them one of the five leading causes of childhood illness, disability and death. While it is unclear exactly why the numbers are rising so rapidly, many experts believe it is related to increased stress in children and families and better diagnosis of existing problems. http://www.apa.org/monitor/dec04/epidemic.html Lets blame it on stress! Unbelieveable! Sleep disorders epidemic An astonishing 50 million to 70 million Americans experience chronic sleep disorders http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2002911242_sleep05.html Kidney Disease Is a " Growing Epidemic " According to the National Kidney Foundation, more than 20 million Americans - one in nine adults - have CKD and an additional 20 million are at risk, creating what the National Institutes of Health describes as a " growing epidemic.
