are seeing and hearing, our children have become, and continue to
be, guinea pigs for profit.
However, as the guardians to our next generation, we all have an
obligation to assess and ask questions like, “Who stands to make a
profit if we follow this advice”, and “what companies do they own
to then pick up the possible ill health that is generated by that
advice?”
The highly questionable data that can be found within the trail of
expenditure, profit and convincing the public, has had me
spontaneously burst into tears as the health risks to our young
resound in my head and heart, while feeling overwhelmed with the
task before us. Knowing that millions of well-intentioned parents,
with little time, blindly follow some of the misplaced ‘advice’ as
it’s weaved down through national organisations that have the
marketed persona of best health practices, is mind blowing. These
companies and organisations have cultivated the belief that they
have your child’s best interests at heart, and while some of course
do, we must also remain aware that some receive great benefits
from pedalling out certain information or products. We must
remain aware that all is not what it seems sometimes, whether
it comes from world or national organisations, government,
researchers, or the health professional that sits before you.
As a Mum and a health professional, my overwhelming indignation
and heart break from witnessing literally ‘ill advice’ wash its way
through the internet like a tidal wave, considerably changing our
children’s mental and physical health, is my drive to stand up and
share my methods of Bio-logical Weaning with a wider worldwide
audience.
I am committed to shedding light on the truth behind some of the
research that parents are being fed, while also hoping to create a
shift of balance where we move away from following the
commercially marketed advice, and begin to base our choices on
the child’s digestive biology and holistic development at each age
and stage. This necessary shift in balance is one of the core
reasons for this guide, and what began the birthing of
Bio-logical Weaning, many moons ago.
