Your Family Health Organizer: Record Parents' and Kids' Medical Information All in One Place

Author: Jodie Pappas

A 3-ring organizer for the entire family's vital medical data.

This remarkably user-friendly organizer ensures that accurate medical records for every member of the family, especially children, are carefully filed and readily available. Parents simply must be proactive to prevent medical mixups of any kind—including allergic reactions to misdiagnosed medications.

Your Family Health Organizer has a separate section for each family member. Charts in each section allow all pertinent information to be logged, and color-coded tabs allow for quick reference. The 3-ring binder is just the right format for easy filing and accessibility, and it's small enough for portability. It's easy to transfer information, too. For example, the section for one child can easily be removed and left with a babysitter.

The organizer provides space for recording all the family's medical information, including:

• Birth details
• Identification profiles, allowing for fingerprints of each person for security and safety
• Medications prescribed and any reactions to them
• Wellness checkups, immunizations, doctor's appointments
• Tracking information for each child's growth and other milestones
• Tracking information for baby teeth, dental appointments and results
• Dates and other details of hospital stays.

This organizer accommodates two parents and as many as three children. Convenient plastic zippered pockets allow for filing of all insurance cards, appointment cards and other loose items.

Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power

Author: Mark Schapiro

In contrast to America's corporate-hostage government, the European Union is charting a new path that, by requiring safe products, is revamping how industry can work and succeed. Schapiro takes the reader inside a global power shift that has gone almost wholly unreported in the United States. He shines a light on Europe's evolving search for higher safety and environmental standards that has allowed Brussels, and not Washington, to emerge as the leader in global market innovation in the twenty-first century. Exposed shows that, short of strong government intervention, America will lose whatever claim it has to commercial supremacy. Increasingly, its products are equated with serious health hazards, the same hazards that the European Parliament is legislating out of existence in its powerful trading block. From South America to China, the world's governments and industrial leaders are looking to Europe's leadership as the products of the twenty-first century are invented, designed, produced, and marketed.

Schapiro's revelations will spark a sea change in the way American consumers think about everyday products—from plastic softeners that can contribute to sexual malformations to lipstick additives that are potential toxins to the brain, liver, kidneys, and immune system. And it will change our view of the future of environmentalism and the roles government can play in protecting us from hidden dangers.
