Parents, the journey of trying to help your child overcome chronic health issues is a path filled with hope, disappointment, determination, and, often, sheer frustration. 😥 You’ve consulted countless doctors, explored various therapies, changed diets, and tried natural remedies. You’ve spent what feels like every night up late trying to find that one specialist or program that might make all the difference.
The emotional and financial toll is immense. You’ve likely spent thousands on insurance deductibles, copays, vitamins, supplements, and therapies. Sleepless nights have become the norm as you research the next potential solution. 😴 It’s more than exhausting - it’s all-consuming... But it’s your child, so you keep pushing to find the answers. You might feel alone on this journey, but the reality of today is that:
📈 Chronic illness affects approximately 27% of children in the United States - that’s more than 1 in 4 kids
📈 1 in 6 children have sensory issues
📈 Autism rates have skyrocketed to 1 in 36 children
📈 ADHD affects about 9.4% of children
📈 Childhood anxiety disorders impact 7.1% of children aged 3-17
It’s clear that something is missing in our approach to children’s health. The traditional medical model often falls short when it comes to addressing chronic conditions in children. It tends to focus on managing symptoms 💊 rather than addressing root causes.
