The government is preparing the largest study of U.S. children ever performed. It will track 100,000 kids from birth to age 21 to try and understand how the environment affects the health of children. They are trying to determine if a woman’s exposure to certain chemicals put her child at risk of learning disabilities. They are seeking to find out, among other things, if genetics and pollution interact to cause asthma.

It’s called the National Children’s Study. The study was instituted to try and determine why rates of autism, asthma, certain birth defects and other disorders are on the rise. The focus is on how the environment can be contributing to these health problems.

An advisor to the National Institute of Health on the study’s design, Dr. Landrigan of New York’s Mount Sinai School of Medicine, said “there are things we probably should be worrying about that we’re not worrying about enough and there are things we’re worried about too much.

Scientists say they need $27 million to $50 million next year just to ramp up the study, including hiring a laboratory big enough to store more than 2 billion anticipated biological and environmental samples… from participants blood and DNA to dust from their houses, soil from their yards and air from their neighborhoods.

Is all this really necessary? Absolutely, if the purpose is to take the public’s attention away from the real culprit. Could it be that all these childhood illnesses are on the rise because of the increasing drugging of our children? Could it be that health problems are increasing as a result of the chemical intervention of medicine? Could it be that disease is on the rise in the most vaccinated population the planet has ever seen? Could this wholesale assault on our children’s immune systems be the cause of childhood allergies, asthma, obesity, hyperactivity, depression, stress, violence in the schools and a generation of children addicted to medication? Who will study this?
