INDIGO AND CRYSTAL CHILDREN

INDIGO AND CRYSTAL CHILDREN IN AN UNNATURAL WORLD

The Indigo children are here to usher in the New Age of Peace.... Lee Carroll and Jan Tober

The Crystal children follow the cleared path into a safer and more secure world.... Doreen Virtue

It's our spiritual duty to help this new generation of Indigo and Crystal children receive the highest life-force energy possible so that they can fulfil their divine purpose.

Join us and learn how to create an effective diet, based on the needs of the sensitive bodies of this new generation, using:

Whole, fresh, quality foods
A more vegetarian approach to eating; we'll describe how to make a complete protein with each meal
Foods that are easily digested; we'll even show you how to maximize digestion of foods that are harder to digest
Indigo children sometimes exhibit ADD or ADHD behaviours such as disorganization, hyperactivity or impulsivity. Crystal children can be diagnosed with Autism when they take longer to start speaking, have speech impediments or are seen as living in their own worlds. "The Resourceful Mother" will share with you, the foods that cause or worsen symptoms of ADD/ADHD and Autism.

Indigo and Crystal children were sent to this earth for the express purpose of cleaning up our planet, both environmentally and socially. They are "natural children in an unnatural world". Our duty as adults is to be aware of these facts and teach our children protection and healing techniques so they can not only survive but also thrive, while fulfilling their purpose.

Testimonials

Wendy Caldwell

"This course gave me the confidence to feed my baby in a natural, nutritious way.

Jill Donahue

"I didn't realize how simple it is to make such a difference in my child's health."

Kristen Verschoor-Owens

"I learned more in this 2 hour seminar than any book has ever taught me."

Jennifer Montoni

"After hearing from doctors that both of my children's stomach problems could only be corrected with surgery, we were devastated. Meredith's knowledge has helped us discover methods for controlling their food sensitivities and has helped eliminate the adverse symptoms in a natural, non-intrusive way. It has made all the difference in our lives."

Jodi Labelle

"After years of dealing with my children's moodiness, stomach aches and runny noses, Meredith led me to the experts who helped me come to understand the root causes behind the discomfort my children were experiencing. Now life is so much easier for my whole family."

Jacquie Foran

"As a working mom, learning that my son had many food sensitivities was overwhelming and I did not know where to begin. Meredith worked closely with me, sharing her knowledge and her own experiences. As a result, I am thrilled to tell you that my son no longer suffers; his rotation diet has eliminated most of his food sensitivities!"

Emma Hayden

"My child finally sleeps through the night! With the use of books, articles and personal accounts, Meredith explained how chiropractors, cranial osteopaths and classical homeopaths could help my daughter. Most importantly, she alleviated my fears about seeking non-traditional help. She is a fantastic link between the natural world and the world of parenting."

Franca Impastato

"When I first met Meredith, my son was only 5 months old and he had already been hospitalized 3 times. Each time, the diagnosis was a virus. I didn't know what to do; he also had colic and was a fussy child. Meredith opened my eyes and many doors for my family and me. I learned that my son was actually having severe reactions to foods that he was eating (rice and oat cereals). If it were not for Meredith, I don't know what my son's health would be like today. I don't know how to thank her for all the phone calls and everything she has done for me."

Mike Gentile

"Good morning, Meredith – hope you are well. Just an update that Georgia's skin (eczema) is doing terrific and her eating and sleeping has drastically improved. Many thanks! You have had a great impact on her."

Courtney Kada

"I wanted to share with you that within 3 days of making the dietary changes that you recommended the eczema on my son’s face cleared up! We'd been fighting this patch since before Christmas with creams and antibiotics and nothing had worked. Not only is his rash gone he rarely has temper tantrums any more (previously he was having numerous every day). Also, for the first time he is now having solid bowel movements! I can’t thank you enough!"

Anonymous – This Mother never told her daughter that she once had Autism.

“Six years ago, I was a desperate mom, looking for a way to help my child, who was diagnosed with Autism. She was non-verbal with repetitive movements, no eye contact and very irregular bowel movements. She had her fixed routine and anything outside that would make her so angry that she would bang her head on the floor. I didn’t know what to do or where to begin. I was looking everywhere...the internet, doctors, and therapists but I couldn’t find anything. Her pediatrician told me “She may never talk again; she may never attend mainstream school...don’t waste your time looking for answers!” But I didn’t give up. If I heard that one supplement helped a kid, I did anything to get my hands on it for her. But it was not enough. Until one day when I visited our local health store ...it was like a magic force was pulling me towards their bookshelves and I found the book, “The resourceful Mother’s Secrets to Healthy Kids”. Meredith held my hand through her book and guided me step by step as to what to do and what not to do. Within 2 weeks, my daughter’s bowel movements improved and with that, her behavior got better. Within a couple of months, she started to use words and make eye contact. Fast forward to today, the girl who was supposed to remain non-verbal is speaking 3 languages fluently, has many friends at school and her level of reading and writing is 4 years ahead of her peers. Without Meredith’s book, I was a clueless mom and only God knows where my daughter would be. There are no words to express my gratitude to Meredith for sharing her knowledge and writing so clearly and simply that a mom with no nutrition or medical background could understand and follow her advice. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” Anonymous – This Mother never told her daughter that she once had Autism."
