Carlsbad, California (PRWEB) September 12, 2007 -- Dr. Laura Thompson is so determined to provide alternative health and nutrition solutions to the health care crisis; she's now offering free nutrition counseling on her website www.ourchildrenshealth.com
For more than ten years, her Southern California Institute of Clinical Nutrition (www.scicn.com) has offered health and wellness programs based on good nutrition. She has worked with children and teens suffering from acne, ADD, ADHD, allergies, asthma, autism, metal toxicity, constipation, depression, ear infections, eczema, fatigue, food addictions, PMS, respiratory infections, sinus infections, sleep disorders, thyroid problems, vaccine injury and obesity, to name a few.
Now she is offering free consultations with Doneta Lawellin, Clinical Nutritionist via telephone to visitors to her new website www.ourchildrenshealth.com.
Why is she doing this?
"The mainstream medical community often ignores or downplays the importance of nutrition in human health, despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary," she says. "It's often easier (and more lucrative) for them to prescribe drugs or give vaccines, without regard for side effects and long-term health consequences.
"Not only that, the media often complies with (or even openly promotes) this approach. As a result, you and your family are not told about natural nutritional alternatives, even though they are often safer, more effective and less costly.
"By offering you a free 30-minute consultation, we want to remove all barriers between you and the knowledge and support you might need right now - especially if your child or teenager is suffering from the ailments mentioned above."
The Southern California Institute of Clinical Nutrition (www.scicn.com) was founded by Dr Laura Thompson as a nutrition education and research center. Their facility also houses an integrated health and nutrition clinic and a natural product pharmacy.
