WELCOME to the September 2009 issue of our popular newsletter, KNOW THIS!
By Doug Kaufmann
Off to school they go! How I remember the sinking feeling that Ruth and I had as we drove our boys to school on opening day each year. The media, of course, popularizes the joy that parents should feel as each new school year begins, but we never knew that joy and I’m glad we didn’t.
This month, Dr. Lynn Jennings’ article talks about this new Swine Flu vaccine. She is not against vaccines, but rather asks each parent to carefully consider both sides of the Swine Flu issue, because there are two sides. I think you’ll like what she has to say about the importance of enhancing immunity all year long.
If diet is a factor in enhancing immunity, there is no one better than Kyle Drew to teach us about a diet that worked for him. Kyle chose to split 2008 into two distinct dietary studies-6 months each; one that led him into an exacerbation of his health problems and one that reversed them. Kyle teaches us that diet is VERY, VERY important if your goal is to be healthy.
Dr. Luke Curtis believes that children do get sick when school reopens each year, but he lends an interesting twist on the schoolroom as being “the cause” rather than the common consensus that herded children are the cause. By reading his article, you’ll soon realize that, like our children, buildings get sick also. The sick buildings can affect our health, but only if we are in them.
My life has been blessed beyond all measure. In reviewing my adulthood, I have come to realize and respect that the two best things I have done is marrying right and having children. The boys are grown now but they are still my children. This issue of KNOW THIS is dedicated to children of all ages and to those special parents who thought issues through carefully before they took action.
