Healthy Child, Healthy World

We cannot ignore the fact any more: We are living in a sickness-causing environment. We are exposed to hundreds of potentially harmful chemicals every day. This is a health risk for everyone, but one group is particularly vulnerable: children.
Our bodies are bombarded with unavoidable health challenges: stress, smoking, pollution, processed foods – even normal functions like eating and breathing – produce free radicals in our bodies. These free radicals cause oxidative stress, which can lead to challenge like:
  • cell damage
  • premature aging
  • attacks on our DNA
  • low levels of energy.
Says Robyn O'Brien:

Sitting at the table in her suburban kitchen, with her four young children tumbling in and out, Robyn O’Brien, 36 years old, seems an unlikely candidate to be food’s Erin Brockovich (who, by the way, has taken Ms O’Brien under her wing).

Robyn was also the kind of mom who rolled her eyes when the kid with a peanut allergy showed up at the birthday party. Then, about two years ago, she fed her youngest child scrambled eggs. The baby’s face quickly swelled into a grotesque mask. "What did you spray on her?" she screamed at her other children. Little Tory had a severe food allergy, and Robin's journey had begun.

Robyn O’Brien encourages people to do what she did: throw out as much nonorganic processed food as you can afford to. Avoid anything genetically modified, artificially created or raised with hormones. Don’t eat food with ingredients you can’t pronounce. Once she cleaned out her cupboards, she said, her four children started behaving better. Their health problems, which her doctor attributed to allergies to milk and other foods, cleared up.

We're committed to restoring the health of our kids, one bite at a time. Take it from us. We have children with allergies, ADHD, autism and asthma, too. Finding safe and healthy solutions by helping you to reduce your family's exposure to food additives is what we're good at. Let us share our knowledge and ideas. 


"As we learn this information about our food supply, the knowledge can, at times, be disheartening. But if you look at the information as a gift, as the greatest knowledge you could ever receive to help protect the health of your loved ones, somehow it makes it easier to learn."
