My Life - NAK (Nutrition And Kids) to the rescue


By the age of ten I weighed 150 pounds.

By age 20, I weighed about 220 pounds.

I then decided I would diet to get the extra weight off. That was a bad move. I lost my gall bladder due to the stress on my system. I then decided I could no longer afford to diet.

I got married at age 25 and gained 65 pounds because of the bad food habits both my wife and I had. I still did not diet.

One day I weighed myself and found that I weighed 335 pounds. I was shocked into joining a weight loss program and lost 76 pounds.

After a year of unrealistic and unsustainable dieting, I finally quit and ballooned to 400+ pounds when I suffered my first disabling injury. I started to NEED to use canes.

This set up a series of diets and weight gains, and injuries. I then fell into the cycle of, weight gain and sedentary lifestyle, then more weight gain and an even more sedentary lifestyle. One cannot move very well when they are carrying an extra person or two or even three on a frame meant to carry only 190 - 200 pounds at the most.

Eventually, I got to where I am now. I weigh over 600 pounds and I am unable to care for myself. I am totally dependent on my wife for my very existence. Let me tell you, my physical life is so hard that I have often prayed for death rather than live another moment. All of this started by having childhood obesity.

I want to help others avoid this path I am currently living. Obese children grow up to be obese adults who are more susceptible to health problems, injury, disability and early death. Without education, children will choose to eat only fast foods, drink only sugary and carbonated drinks that mess with their blood chemistry, kill the calcium in their bones and sets them up for a miserable lifestyle if they are not lucky enough to have a fatal heart attack first.

I fully believe that Nutrition and Kids is the program needed for today to educate children and their parents so that the children can change their lifestyles to become healthy adults. The ONLY way to break the obesity and sedentary lifestyle cycle is through education, nutrition and exercise. That is the only way today even for me to have hope.

-- Health, Wealth and Happiness to you,

Fund Raiser

Hi dear Parent,

Do you know if your church, youth group, school, organization, or any one you know could use a fund raiser?? I KNOW I can help them. In the process they will be doing a world of good for children in their expanded sphere of influence.

This fundraiser has many advantages!

"Nutrition And Kids Adventures" is endorsed by Government agencies, schools, nutritionists, youth groups, a billion dollar restaurant chain, and numerous health professionals across the Country.

This exciting educational program is the perfect vehicle to finance a special project and help kids. There is NO FINANCIAL RISK, NO INVENTORY, and NO COST to Fundraising organization.

A Super-Simple Fundraiser...
  1. Register organization for free,
  2. Collect money with CD ordered at $19.95 each,
  3. Deduct $5.00 for each CD ordered for special project,
  4. Submit $14.95 for each CD ordered to Nutrition and Kids, International (NAK) or to the NAK Representative,
  5. CD's are then shipped to the organization for delivery.
That is it! Every time the organization needs funds, repeat this process...all year long! What a way to help kids everywhere and finance your special projects!

Childhood obesity, indeed obesity around the world is epidemic. Seven years ago, the State of Texas took athletics out of the school system. Just recently, the legislature wrote legislation that athletics is now a required course! They discovered that it is much cheaper to prevent obesity than to pay the bill of taking care of the health problems obesity causes.

Just recently, the State of California proposed sin taxes on sodas and junk foods. The IRS now gives tax write-offs for the extra expenses of caring for obesity as a medical condition.

My friend Daniel Deane is the result of childhood obesity,a family tendency for obesity, and poor food choices that he learned in childhood. He remembers the first time that he was given permission to overeat. He now is morbidly obese (600 lbs.!) and disabled. Morbid obesity KILLS! Children are dying early and those who survive into adulthood as obese adults face early disability or death due to the complications of obesity.

Nutrition and Kids, founded by Dr. Kim Gebrosky, provides a viable and on time answer to these problems today. The Nutrition and Kids Adventures game CD is a wonderful game children truly enjoy! "Nutrition and Kids Adventures" is a cutting edge game designed to help kids teach themselves about proper nutrition, healthier foods, and having a healthy body.

The idea is to promote this CD-ROM game directly to our elementary age children to provide them with education on health and nutrition. Our aim is not only to bring higher mentality and awareness of how important nutrition plays a roll in or physical or mental health, but also to generate a generous amount of funds that can be given to schools and organizations for the betterment of education to our young people, which is so vital to our future.

The City of Philadelphia has signed on to promote the Nutrition and Kids Adventures game CD They are using it city wide in their after school programs Perdue University just April 3rd 2002 has joined us to promote the CD game. This is happening all across the nation. Yet, it is so new that few people have even heard of the CD. That makes the CD a perfect fund raiser!! Grandparents and parents are buying the CD and the kids are truly enjoying it! Organizations are really pulling in the funds they need for their projects. Want to help them?
