Nutrition for Children and Teens
From real food to the Big Mac and the Big Gulp in 40 years (Children's Health)
Children in the United States have never been sicker since the great epidemics of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Obesity is rampant. Type 2 Diabetes is skyrocketing. 6-year- olds are being given insulin or Glucophage. Some children have Big Mac's several times a week and Big Gulps everyday. Many experts blame this on poor food choices. Others blame it on poor parenting, or that parents have no time to cook good food for their children. Whatever the causes, your child's diet is a huge factor in his or her total development. Children should eat quality proteins, vegetables, fruits, some dairy, whole grains, healthy snacks — basically, good, nutritious food. But, the majority of America's children do not. If your child is sluggish, too fat, too thin, really picky, can't stay focused, or you just don't have time to cook, then this information is designed for you with suggestions and handouts that can really help.
This topic will be tailor-made for your organization.
You will learn:

Enhanced Digestion,
Cleansing and Cellular Detoxification (Natural Health)
A simple definition of detoxification is reducing the buildup of various poisonous substances in the body. Everyday, with every inhalation/exhalation, and excretion, the body tries to keep the body in a state of balance by keeping it clean. Good digestion is the basis of the good health of all of the other body systems. With the exceptions of injury, natural medicine believes that everything goes back to the integrity of the digestive system. In fact, one of the first tenets of natural medicine is, "death begins in the bowel". Natural medicine also states that cleansing and detoxification create a profound effect on enhancing overall good health. All indigenous cultures had structured methods of cleansing the body, including: sweat lodges, fasting, and intestinal cleansing and detoxification. This prepared them for the winter months and avoiding contagious illnesses. The Caucasian race and those it has influenced have ignored these timeless principles with sad consequences. In the 21st century we have more pollution, poor foods, bad water, thousands of untested chemicals, and bio-hazards than ever before in man's history.
Dr. Purcell will teach you many principles of digestion as taught by natural medicine. She will also teach you how to identify and avoid many toxic substances in your daily lives, and show you how to cleanse and detoxify your organ systems to improve your overall health.

Digestive Disorders
and Your Health (Natural Health)
One of the first tenets of natural medicine is digestive health. There is a famous quote, "Death begins in the bowel" and in natural medicine we believe that everything starts with the complete digestive process.
The pharmaceutical industry is convincing us that we have many new digestive disorders, like Acid Reflux Disease, Heartburn, Diarrhea and more, that are only "cured" with medications. Every third advertisement on TV is a pharmaceutical ad. There appears to be a great investment in Americans being sick.
This topic will be tailor-made for your organization.
In this workshop, Dr. Purcell will present the natural health side of digestion and give the participants some choices. For example:
- What is a digestive disorder and how do you know that you have one?

How To Survive A Nuclear Disaster (Natural Health)
Why would anyone want to speak or write about such an unpleasant topic? Dr. Karen Purcell, herself, was not initially enthusiastic about looking at nuclear attack or accident scenarios. But she lives and works in Manhattan and was in New York City on September 11, 2001. Like all New Yorkers, she wondered what would happen next. Terrorists don’t give up. And today we find that accidents and tragedies like in Japan do happen and take everyone by surprise. She was astonished to find that people who were not killed in a nuclear blast or accident have a good chance of survival, if they are properly prepared.
So she and her husband, R.G. Autry have addressed some of the tough questions. Mr. Autry is an MIT-educated physicist and engineer, who has worked in the United States Defense industry for over 20 years. Dr. Purcell and Mr. Autry have spoken to doctors, military experts, and numerous companies. They have also researched and studied over 750 articles and references on the effects of radiation. With about 104 nuclear power plants in the United States alone, this powerful presentation is a must for your organization.
This topic will be tailor-made for your organization.
In this seminar, you will learn:
- 10 ways to survive a nuclear disaster
- 6 myths about bombs and radiation
- You will probably not die in the explosion, if you are more than 5 miles away from Ground Zero
- Surprisingly, of those who survive the blast, most will die from panic and starvation — NOT from radiation poisoning
- How to design and execute an escape plan
- 8 ways to protect yourself from harmful radiation
- What diet is best and what supplements to take that will protect your body from radiation exposure’s cellular damage
- Where to get low-cost supplies and equipment that can protect you, your family, and your pets from radiation exposure
