5.7.6 The Rise in Chronic Diseases in Children

Recommendations

Based on the testimonies presented at the NCI Vancouver Hearings of the National Citizens Inquiry (NCI), the following recommendations are proposed to address the crisis of chronic disease in children. These recommendations focus on improving transparency, public health policy, environmental safety, parental rights, and medical ethics.

1. Strengthen Transparency in Public Health Policy:

• Require full disclosure of health agency decisions: Mandate public access to all scientific data, safety studies, and internal communications from health agencies regarding vaccines, fluoride, environmental toxins, and chronic disease research.

• Enforce independent oversight of regulatory agencies: Establish an independent review board to ensure that public health recommendations are free from corporate or political influence.

• Mandate health agencies to conduct their own studies and not just rely on the data provided by the industry.

2. Ban Water Fluoridation and Implement stricter regulations on  Environmental Toxin Exposure:

• Ban the use of fluoride in water and other products.

• Reduce environmental chemical exposure in children: Implement stricter regulations on glyphosate, pesticides, industrial pollutants, and electromagnetic radiation (EMFs), following independent health risk assessments.

• Ban the use of glyphosate as a crop desiccant.

• Mandate immediate, well-funded research to identify and identify and develop safe and effective alternatives to glyphosate. The objective should be to enable the complete replacement of glyphosate-based products within five years, prioritizing solutions that minimize environmental harm and safeguard public health, particularly that of children and vulnerable populations.

• Develop public education programs on fluoride and toxin exposure: Provide parents and schools with information about alternative water filtration systems and strategies to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals.

3. Reform the Childhood Vaccine Schedule to Prioritize Safety:

• Immediately stop all MRNA vaccines, and booster shots.

• Conduct long-term, placebo controlled safety studies: Implement true safety trials for vaccines, including a control group that does not receive vaccinations, to assess long-term health outcomes.

• Ban the use of aluminum adjuvants in vaccines.

• Introduce an individualized vaccine approach: Develop personalized vaccine risk assessments, allowing parents and healthcare providers to adjust or delay vaccine schedules based on genetic, medical, and environmental risk factors.

4. Protect and Strengthen Parental Rights in Healthcare and Education:

• Legally reinforce parental consent for medical interventions: Require written parental consent for all medical treatments and school programs, including vaccinations and gender-related counselling.

• Ensure full parental access to school health policies: Mandate that school boards provide full transparency on policies affecting children’s medical and psychological well-being, including the integration of gender ideology programs.

• Require that the risks of the procedures and the unknown consequences be clearly stated to the parents to ensure informed consent. As for vaccines, the parents should be informed of the risks of the diseases versus the real risks of the vaccines (full disclosure is necessary and it is not done right now.

• Create legal protections for parents who challenge school or medical policies: Establish clear legal pathways for parents to contest coercive medical policies, school curricula, or restrictions on parental decision-making.

• Ensure that parents have the right to refuse vaccination of their children without any retaliation or pressure from government, schools, healthcare system, child protection services and the justice system. Vaccination of children should not be compelled by a Court order : if a parent refuses, then the child should not be vaccinated.

• Ensure that parents have the right to refuse every ideological curriculum to their children.

5. Address the Mental Health Crisis in Children Post-COVID-19:

• Assess and mitigate the impact of lockdowns on child development: Conduct nationwide studies on the educational, psychological, and social impact of school closures, with recommendations to prevent similar harm in future crisis.

• Expand mental health services for children and adolescents: Increase access to community based counselling services, particularly for children who experienced trauma, anxiety, and depression during the COVID-19 event.

• Develop guidelines to prevent excessive digital dependency in children: Encourage schools and parents to limit screen-time and promote in-person social engagement to counteract the cognitive and emotional effects of prolonged isolation.

6. Establish Greater Public Accountability for Health and Education Policies:

• Create an independent national inquiry into childhood chronic disease: Conduct a formal, independent investigation into the increase in chronic illnesses, vaccine injury reports, and environmental contributors to child disease.

• Implement regular town halls and public hearings on health policy: Require government health agencies and school boards to engage with the public through quarterly public hearings, allowing for community input and oversight.

• Strengthen whistleblower protections in healthcare and education: Provide legal protections for doctors, researchers, and educators who disclose health and educational policies that may harm children.

Recommendations to Address Childhood Obesity

To combat rising childhood obesity rates, witnesses proposed the following evidence-based interventions:

7. Improve Public Health Guidelines on Childhood Nutrition:

• Revise national dietary guidelines: Shift recommendations away from processed food and refined sugars and emphasize whole, nutrient dense food.

• Increase public education on the dangers of glyphosate, pesticides, and food additives: Ensure parents and schools are aware of how industrial food production affects metabolic health.

8. Reform School Nutrition Programs:

• Eliminate ultra-processed and high-sugar food from school cafeterias: Replace with organic, whole-food meal options.

• Introduce school-based nutrition education programs: Teach children about reading food labels, making healthy choices, and the impact of food on long-term health.

• Teach children how to grow their own food and there should be gardens in schools for this purpose. Teach children how to prepare the food they grow.

9. Regulate Harmful Food Additives and Agricultural Chemicals:

• Ban glyphosate and endocrine-disrupting chemicals in food production: Follow models from European countries that have imposed stricter regulations.

• Require clearer food labeling: Ensure that all processed food clearly list pesticide residues, artificial additives, and nutritional risks.

• Encourage permaculture which doesn't use pesticides.

10. Increase Access to Affordable Healthy Food:

• Encourage the availability to fresh, organic products to make nutritious food more affordable for low income families.

• Implement community-based nutrition programs: Support local farmers, food cooperatives, and urban gardens to improve access to fresh, whole food.

11. Address the Role of Gut Health in Obesity Prevention:

• Encourage probiotics and gut-friendly diets: Promote fermented food, prebiotics, and fibre rich diets to support a healthy gut microbiome.

• Reduce antibiotic overuse in children: Educate healthcare providers on the risks of gut dysbiosis caused by unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions.

12. Promote Physical Activity and Reduce Sedentary Lifestyles:

• Limit screen-time in schools and homes: Establish guidelines to reduce digital dependency and encourage outdoor play and social interaction.

• Expand funding for school based physical education programs: Ensure children have access to daily physical activity and sports programs.

13. Investigate the role of special interest groups in the distribution and promotion of unhealthy highly processes food.

Recommendation concerning Electro-magnetic Radiation

14. Adopt Precautionary Principles:

• Adopt a more stringent, precautionary EMR exposure guidelines, similar to countries like Switzerland and Italy, which have lower exposure limits than those currently in place in Canada.

15. Halt the Roll-out of 5G in Sensitive Areas :

• Enforce a moratorium on 5G infrastructure, especially near schools, hospitals, and residential neighbourhoods, until comprehensive, independent health studies on long-term exposure are completed.

16. Public Education Campaigns:

• Inform the public about the potential risks of EMR, including practical steps individuals can take to reduce their exposure, such as limiting wireless device usage and opting for wired connections when possible.

17. Independent Research Funding:

• Increase independent research funding to further study the biological effects of EMR, particularly in relation to chronic illnesses, immune system impacts, and possible links to increased health vulnerabilities during the COVID-19 event.

18. Recognition of Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS):

• Recognize EHS by health authorities, and accommodate those affected in public and workplace settings.

By implementing these recommendations, Canada can take proactive steps to safeguard children’s health, ensure informed parental decision-making, and restore trust in public health and education systems. Without such reforms, the rising rates of chronic disease in children will continue to pose a significant threat to future generations.
