Health of the People of Florida

+ Cancer and Heart disease is the #1 and #2 cause of death in Florida.
+ Diabetes is an epidemic in Florida and the United States. Prevention and reversing.
+ I know acid reflux is made worse by prescription drugs and will be the cause of esophageal cancer that will out number all cancers combines caused by drugs like Nexium, Prilosec, and Protonix as reported in the Wall Street Journal.
+ Osteoporosis, arthritis, pain, and sleep problems are a clear proof of Floridians not taking in enough calcium and magnesium in their diet and that is my opinion.
+ The autistic children problem in Florida is unacceptable.
+ Nursing home residents are on an average of 9 prescription drugs. Lets nourish our elderly not drug them.
+ All children from birth to age 12 should have free dental hygiene care. Each child should receive a free electric toothbrush every January.
+ Parents should eliminate sugar and simple starches from a child’s diet.
+ All Florida children born to a Florida registered voter and legal citizens will receive $100 per year into a health savings account in the child’s name. Upon reaching their 18th birthday the money can be withdrawn by the child providing he passes a blood test showing him/her free of tobacco or drugs including prescription drugs unless necessarily prescribed. This will encourage good health and prevent smoking.
+ Businesses should begin announcing they will not hire smokers, motivating children not to start.
+ Medicaid and food stamp money should be redirected to buy quality food from farmers markets.
+ Children must begin with a good protein balanced breakfast. Most children today either do not eat breakfast or eats a sugar and starch breakfast causing low blood sugar. These children can not concentrate; they are tired, and are disruptive including mental problems and bad behavior. ADD & ADHD is caused by low blood sugar and over use of antibiotics in my opinion. One in 10 boys today is on Ritalin or Aderal. Some students take it at parties called phariming along with Oxycotin. They think since it is prescribed it is safe.
