The business of health
Together, the
U.S. government and American families are spending billions on medications, therapy, insurance, education, housing, etc. to address the epidemics of chronic childhood diseases. These include autism, ADHD, diabetes, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, allergies (including deadly peanut allergies), autoimmune conditions, obesity and more.
The costs are staggering.
A
recent government survey found that 1 in 45 children ages 3 through 17 have been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
The estimated average lifetime cost to care for a child with autism is $1.4 million if they do not have intellectual disability. An estimated 1 in 5 persons with autism also has intellectual disability. This increases the
average lifetime cost of care to
$2.3 million.
CHD [Children's Health Defense] is calling for a new paradigm that tries to
stop the rise of chronic disease and cure those who are suffering now. Since these epidemics are occurring in children, the long-term consequences of so many sick children could be dire for our nation and economy in the future.
The rise in chronic illness in children is coterminous with the vaccine schedule.
In 1986, there were 11 vaccines and 12.8% of our nation's children had a chronic illness. In 2017, there were 54 vaccines — and 2011 figures report an astonishing
54% of children suffer from chronic illness or developmental disability — many of which have been associated with vaccine injuries. CHD believes the U.S. plan must be to do everything possible now to prevent chronic diseases in children and it should
start with investigating our broken vaccine program.
Cures could be bad for business in the long run.
