In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles the #1 reason parents visit the pediatrician: ear infections. Drawing from 18 years of clinical experience (and four kids who've never had a single ear infection), he reveals why the conventional approach misses the mark and what really causes recurrent infections.The answer isn't horizontal eustachian tubes or proximity to sick kids—it's neurological dysfunction from birth trauma and subluxation that affects drainage, movement, and immune function. Dr. Tony shifts the conversation from "how do I treat this?" to "why does this keep happening?" and provides a clear roadmap combining Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, movement, and nutrition to break the cycle of recurrent infections and build lasting resilience.-----Links & ResourcesExplore our free article on the root causes of ear infections and how to support lasting healing.-----Key Topics & Timestamps(00:03:00)  Proactive Prevention vs. Reactive Approach(00:04:00)  The Truth About "Flu Season" Marketing(00:08:00)  Why Pediatricians Won't Tell You This(00:12:00)  Debunking the Horizontal Eustachian Tube Myth(00:13:00)  Movement is Life: The Real Reason for Winter Infections(00:18:00)  When Clean Living Still Isn't Enough(00:19:00) The ENT Cycle: Why Tubes & Tonsillectomy Don't Fix the Problem(00:22:00)  The Missing Link: Muscles Follow Nerves(00:23:00)  Birth Trauma & The Perfect Storm(00:25:00)  Sympathetic Dominance: The Double Trouble Problem(00:30:00)  The Neurological Solution: What Adjustments Actually Do(00:33:00)  The Complete Action Plan: Adjustments, Movement & Nutrition-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Europe's influenza season has arrived earlier than expected this year, raising concerns about pressure on health systems as respiratory illnesses circulate during the winter months.  While the surge has prompted questions about vaccine effectiveness and vulnerable groups, health experts say the situation remains manageable – if people take the right precautions.Speaking with UN News's Vibhu Mishra, Marc-Alain Widdowson, who leads pandemic threat and communicable disease work at the World Health Organization's European Regional Office, explains what's driving this year's flu season, who is most at risk, and why it's still not too late to get vaccinated. 

The flu season has hit and cases are still rising. Michelle Morse, M.D., interim commissioner of health at the NYC Department of Health and an internal medicine and public health doctor, talks about how to stay healthy this holiday season.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the mass fear mongering campaign by the media regarding the so-called "Super Flu" which like most years is "an illness no one has seen before." Every year, we find out about an illness and it seems everyone claims they've never been so sick before. The reality is, this is just the latest pandemic hoax based on fraudulent PCR tests. As the United States records its first child flu death of the year, the so-called "Super Flu" aptly named to terrify the public is one of the most talked about issues in the media currently. So what is it? Well, first of all, publications like The Daily Mail insist on writing step by step guides to help you "tell the difference" between the Super Flu and Covid. The irony of this is that a PCR test will come up positive for pretty much anything and in 2020, doctors would blindly say "it must be positive for Covid." Now, if a doctor gives someone a PCR test, they will blindly say "it must be positive for the Super Flu." Realistically, that's how you tell the difference. No actual science is involved. There is no doubt that people's immune systems are shot these days. This is due to many contributing factors such as fluoridated tap water, processed foods, industrial chemicals in the air, heavy metals falling from the sky and obviously mass vaccination which according to countless studies shows a direct correlation with autoimmune function. Are people getting more sick these days? Yes. Is it due to some scary pandemic? No. It's due to people being more unhealthy. Meanwhile we are simultaneously seeing fear mongering in the media over Measles and Bird Flu. In fact, multiple types of Bird Flu are being pushed for maximum fear as countless chickens and cows are culled. H1N1, H5N9 and H2N9. It's convenient that the largest ever pandemic exercise just happened in the fall, named Project Polaris. In France, there is a mass culling of cows as the army is called in to mass inject cattle under the guise of stopping "Lumpy Skin Disease." This has lead to thousands of farmers protesting. If people don't yet read between the lines, they will be fodder in the next global pandemic scam. Stay tuned for more from WAM! BUY TICKETS HERE! https://anarchapulco.com/ Use Code WAM & Save 10%!

We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story.

We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

Find More Great Info From Dr. Melanie Matheu Here: SUBSTACK: https://lilscience.substack.com TIKTOK:https://www.tiktok.com/@laughterinlight YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@LaughterInLight Hawk talks with immunologist Dr. Melanie Matthew about the upcoming flu season and the devastating impact of RFK Jr as HHS Secretary. Australia experienced record-setting influenza deaths this year, with flu killing more people than COVID. The H3N2 variant mutated to evade vaccine protection, leading to unprecedented hospitalizations. Japan declared a flu epidemic five weeks early, and similar patterns are emerging in the United States.Dr. Matthew explains why flu vaccination remains critical despite mutations, reducing hospitalizations by 30-40% in adults and 70-75% in children. The conversation shifts to RFK Jr's anti-vaccine policies at HHS, where he claims no vaccine is safe and effective despite having zero background in immunology or pediatrics. His appointment, along with Marty Makary at FDA and Jay Bhattacharya at NIH, represents a complete rejection of scientific reality in favor of political ideology.The discussion covers RFK Jr's role in 88 child deaths in Samoa from measles, his vitamin A recommendations causing liver damage in Texas children, and how VAERS data is being misrepresented. Dr. Matthew details the exodus of top scientists from NIH, cancelled research grants, and terminated clinical trials that will kill patients. Forever chemicals (PFAS) are being approved for pesticides while vaccine research funding gets slashed.America faces losing measles elimination status, rising preventable disease deaths, and compromised pandemic preparedness. The CDC's COVID vaccine guidance for pregnant women has been offline for months despite evidence linking infection to preterm births and neurological damage. This administration prioritizes grift over public health, with consequences spanning decades.

Send us a textIn this episode of NeoNews, the team returns from a brief hiatus with a refreshed format and a packed review of neonatal stories dominating recent headlines. Eli, Ben, and Daphna open with updates on RSV prevention, highlighting new MMWR data showing significant gaps in nirsevimab and maternal vaccine uptake—despite strong evidence and renewed availability. They discuss how supply chain issues, insurance delays, and vaccine confusion continue to limit access, and they emphasize the unique role neonatologists can play in counseling families early and often. The hosts also review concerning national trends in congenital syphilis, noting that many affected infants had parents who received prenatal care but were never tested—an avoidable systems failure with major downstream costs. Additional segments cover the severity of last year's influenza season, the emergence of new RSV monoclonal antibodies, and the rising use of polygenic risk scoring in IVF. The team reflects on the ethical tension between innovation and eugenics concerns, and how neonatal providers can prepare for these conversations. Finally, the deep dive explores Sherri Fink's powerful reporting on trisomy 18, variability in care across institutions, and the growing emphasis on transparent, value-driven shared decision-making with families.
