Dr. Joel Warsh is an integrative pediatrician who has built a successful practice in Los Angeles. He discusses his journey into integrative medicine, initially being frustrated by the overuse of medications in traditional pediatric care and seeking out alternative approaches. He talks about the challenge of getting the necessary education in integrative pediatrics, as there was limited formal training available at the time. Dr. Warsh describes the experience of interacting with his more traditional pediatric colleagues, noting that he had to develop a thick skin but has seen the tide starting to shift as more doctors become interested in integrative approaches. He emphasizes the importance of open-minded communication and not being overtly contrarian. A key theme of the conversation is the concept of "doing nothing" as the best approach in many pediatric cases, allowing the body's natural healing processes to work. Dr. Warsh shares his dramatic reduction in antibiotic prescriptions by taking a more watchful, supportive approach.

There are some things that are contributing to it or causing some of the symptoms that are not as desirable as you would like.” ”The first step really is just to be mindful. Be mindful of everything that we're purchasing, everything that goes in our food, everything that we're buying that we're putting on our kids - whether that's creams or lotions or suntan lotion or bedding or clothing. Everything has chemicals so if you can pick things that are more natural, you're at least decreasing their load.” ”A lot of our chronic conditions and chronic disease are a mixture or certainly exacerbated by the poor diets that we have - so we're not getting the nutrients that our kids need - and then our kids are surrounded by too many toxins or chemicals.” ”How many kids that are labeled or diagnosed with ADHD or have hyperactivity actually have some sort of neuro-inflammation going on?” ”Most of the time - if not all of the time - there are things that we can do to completely cure it..or at least make things better.” ”We have a lot of ownership over their health and the things that we do actually matter. And our lifestyle is contributing if not causing a lot of these conditions.” ”Medicine is focusing more and more on treatment…but the rates of chronic diseases are increasing and we need to prevent it. We don't want all of our kids to have a chronic disease and so we have to focus on what we can from day 1…everything that you do matters.” ”We're focused on efficiency and faster and more for a long time, but that comes at a cost.”   How to Connect with Dr. Joel Warsh Website: https://integrativepediatricsandmedicine.com/about/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjoelgator/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drjoelgator/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNRwxM5qVNpqU1U4lJYp6Yw  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joel-warsh-40aa601b/  Dr. Warsh's book, Parenting at Your  Child's Pace - https://parentingatyourchildspace.com/  Explore the multifaceted health crisis today's children are faced with and learn innovative, holistic approaches and alternative therapies designed to nourish your child's complete health.

Integrative pediatrician Dr. Joel  Warsh, MD, has seen firsthand how the narrow perspective and overly aggressive approach of many doctors can harm patients. That's why he's on a mission to bridge the conventional-alternative divide through integrative pediatrics. Following medical school, Dr. Warsh pursued additional training in functional medicine, homeopathy, and Ayurveda, among other holistic and integrative practices. He believed that in order to be the best integrative pediatrician possible, an integrative holistic approach would be essential as a complement to his conventional training. Join me in this episode as Dr Warsh and I discuss the rise of chronic illness in children, how he incorporates multiple treatment modalities into his practice, and the proper times to use conventional medicine within the context of a pediatric setting. What you'll learn from this episode:Why parents are increasingly frustrated with the current medical systemHow working with your pediatrician should be a partnershipThe reason autoimmune disease is on the rise, especially in childrenHow often medication is actually necessary vs. the vast majority of illnesses that get resolved without itThe reason he almost never prescribes antibiotics and uses them less than 1% of the timeWhy a fever isn't usually a bad thing and what to do about it& So much more!Resources:Dr. Joel's WebsiteDr. Joel's InstagramRaising AmazingHow to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your DoctorPositive Parenting CourseVaccine Friendly PlanDr. Green MomTo learn more about WellnStrong: Subscribe to my newsletter!

Other E for Exercise, D for diet, and final S would be sleep.”  “Sometimes it can be overwhelming, and that's where I think it's important to start by remembering that there are some things we have some control over, and there are some things that we don't have a ton of control over.” “There are toxins in the water. There are toxins in our food.” “When speaking about this to families, it's really important to focus on those things where you do actually have some control.” “Every decision I make, I put some thought into it…what am I exposing my children to? Every little bit makes a difference.” “50% of kids or so have a chronic disease. At this point, 70% of adults do. Most are on medication.” ”There's no logical reason not to think about prevention, and there's no logical reason to not think about the root cause of illness. But it's difficult in modern medicine because of the way the system is set up.” ”The system is not going to fix the problem.” How to Connect with Dr. Joel Warsh Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjoelgator/  Website: https://raisingamazingplus.com/      Dana Kay Resources: Website: https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ADHDThriveInstitute/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adhdthriveinstitute/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ADHDThriveInstitute  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/adhd-thrive-institute/mycompany/  Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ph/adhdthriveinstitute/  Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@adhd_thriveinstitute    International Best Selling Book, Thriving with ADHD – https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/book/  Free Reduce ADHD Symptoms Naturally Masterclass – https://bit.ly/3GAbFQl   ADHD Parenting Course – https://info.adhdthriveinstitute.com/parentingadhd ADHD Thrive Method 4 Kids Program – https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/packages/

Science has no agenda! But apparently the Oregon Board of Medical Examiners does.  Our guest this week is a physician who truly exemplifies courage and compassion. Dr. Paul Thomas started to question the CDC childhood vaccine schedule and suddenly found himself in trouble with the Oregon Board.  His unique pediatric practice evolved over time, having different groups of families that included fully vaccinated to completely unvaccinated children. He then started to notice some significant differences between the groups of children,  so he did a retrospective analysis and had his results published.  What happened next is the topic of this podcast. Listen as he shares his findings about vaccines, childhood illness/health and the blowback that ensued.  More about Dr.Thomas Dr. Paul Thomas (affectionately known as “Dr. Paul”) received his MD from Dartmouth Medical School in 1985. Dr. Paul was board-certified in Pediatrics, and Addiction Medicine until 2021. Dr. Paul has taught residents and medical students since 1988 and opened his own practice, Integrative Pediatrics, in 2008 where he serves over 6,000 to 10,000 active patients in the Portland, Oregon. Dr. Paul opened Fair Start, his medical detox clinic in 2009, where he has helped over 1,000 patients wean off a wide range of opiates. His book, The Vaccine-Friendly Plan, was published in 2016 by Ballantine Books. His book, The Addiction Spectrum – A Compassionate, Holistic Approach to Recovery, was published by Harper One, in 2018.

Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh is a Board-Certified Pediatrician in Los Angeles, California who specializes in Parenting, Wellness and Integrative Medicine, bringing the world of integrative medicine to pediatrics. After training in Western medicine, he got frustrated with the traditional system, which led him down a more holistic approach. He founded Integrative Pediatrics and Medicine with that in mind, bringing the best of Western medicine and natural remedies together. Much of that means putting a bigger focus on early intervention and preventative health measures, rather than waiting to treat illnesses and disease after the fact. Kids' health often gets overlooked in the wellness space, which makes what Dr. Gator is doing so refreshing.   He is also the host of the Raising Amazing podcast and the author of the children's book “Love, Dad,” set to release in 2024. Dr. Gator talks about... What drew him to integrative medicine Holistic options for common illnesses The foundational aspects of children's health Making up for potential nutritional deficiencies Focusing on prevention over treatment How to navigate eating healthy when so much out there is made unhealthy How stress is impacting kids' health Making small changes in your lifestyle   Resources: integrativepediatrics.com Instagram: @drjoelgator Listen: Raising Amazing Podcast   Highway To Well is a production of Crate Media

Paul has dedicated his life to standing up for justice and doing the right thing even when it is not popular or easy. Born in Portland, Paul spent most of his childhood in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). He was arrested at age 15 for distributing educational material that was determined by the Rhodesian government to be “revolutionary.” Dr. Paul is known for his ongoing questioning of the evolving CDC and AAP recommended vaccine schedule for children, which he considers excessive based on his and others' extensive research. In fact, Dr. Paul wrote a best-selling book (co-authored with Jennifer Margulis, PhD) The Vaccine-Friendly Plan: Dr. Paul's Safe and Effective Approach to Immunity and Health – from Pregnancy through your Child's Teen Years, published in 2016 by Ballantine Books. In 2008, Dr. Paul left his pediatric group practice to form Integrative Pediatrics, LLC, where he has over 13,000 patients who appreciate his integrative approach to pediatric care and children's health that embraces the best from all disciplines of medicine. DrPaulApproved.com was launched in 2015. Its mission is to educate and inform parents all over the world about vital research that is too often not publicized but can make all the difference for your child's health – and your own. The focus of DrPaulApproved.com is to illustrate how good health is the direct result of your efforts and success in avoiding toxins and getting your nutrients through real food, with supplements as needed. When you do need supplements, DrPaulApproved.com bring you health options you can trust. Raising a health child in today's toxic world requires proactive, conscious decisions about what you eat before and during pregnancy and which vaccines to avoid or postpone during pregnancy and for your infant and child. These topics are also discussed extensively in Dr. Paul's videos and Facebook posts. In this spectacular interview with Paul Thomas, MD, an Oregon-based pediatrician, we get into: - a career outside of the conventional medical model - vaccine silliness in kids and pregnant women - lifestyle considerations for strengthening the immune system - and quite a bit more!

Dr. Jyoti Patel joins us to open up about her personal journey through residency and practice, and how she unexpectedly fell into the fields of integrative and functional medicine.

According to the Oregon Medical Board, pediatrician Dr. Paul Thomas is "...a serious danger to the public health..." Oddly, they only discovered this after he published a peer-reviewed study comparing health outcomes of patients who had been vaccinated to those who had not. You can see some of the results of that study here. The study itself is here.The order from the Oregon Medical Board, suspending Dr. Thomas' license, is here.Dr. Thomas' book, "The Vaccine-Friendly Plan" can be found here.And you can support his defense fund here, at his Freedom to Choose site.There are other ways you can help too. From his site:MORE WAYS YOU CAN HELPSupport the legal effort - donation (PayPal, Credit Card or check)Contact Providence Health Plan by Email, send letters, make phone calls (list provided at the end of this press release), and request they cancel the termination of Integrative Pediatrics in Portland, Oregon, as this removes the only option for parents seeking their legal right to informed consent when it comes to vaccines. Send a copy of all your correspondence to:Troy S. Bundy and Hart Wagner1000 SW Broadway Portland, OR 97205 (tsb@hartwagner.com)Contact the Catholic church leadership demanding they stop the discrimination and abandonment of the vulnerable children being cared for at Integrative Pediatrics. The latter have nowhere else to go where they can get informed consent.Contact Kathleen Harder MD Chair of Oregon Medical BoardContact Governor Kate Brown to reinstate Dr Paul Thomas’ license and take their complaints through the proper channels.And I would also add that parents (and anyone else) seeking to have more decision-making power over their medical care choices consider alternatives to insurance. I spoke last week with Charlie Frohman on that very topic, (episode here) and you can get information on the medical cost-sharing plans Charlie discussed, here.

Are some children more likely than others to get sick with Covid-19? If so, why? Integrative pediatrician Dr. Chris Magryta has given this question a lot of thought and his answer may both surprise you and help you prevent severe illness in your children. Listen to integrative pediatrician Dr. Chris Magryta explain all this in this special edition of “Portable Practical Pediatrics”. Image provided by Pixabay Introduction: I am very excited to have a special guest today, the brilliant integrative pediatrician Dr. Chris Magryta, who practices at Salisbury Pediatrics in Salisbury NC..  In addition to the standard education all board-certified pediatricians get, Dr. Magryta added an integrative fellowship with the famous Dr. Andrew Weil to his database of knowledge. As you will quickly see after we start talking, this added education added an additional layer of knowledge that Dr. Magryta uses extremely well. I strongly recommend that you subscribe to his weekly newsletter (linked in the show notes) where he discusses a wide range of topics affecting the well-being of children.  Reading his newsletters is one of the highlights of my week.  Welcome Dr. Magryta. The Interview with Dr. Chris Magryta Question 1: Let’s start by explaining to my listeners what “Integrative Pediatrics” is and how it differs from traditional pediatrics.   Question 2: Dr. Dr. Magryta, you’ve written a lot about Covid-19 in the past six months and I think it is safe to say that you are an expert on the subject. Tell us why you think there is such a wide variety in incidence and severity of Covid-19 in both children and adults? It’s the same germ infecting everyone but the outcomes range from no symptoms to life threatening disease. How can this be? -Disease with SARS-CoV-2 more about the host than the germ? -Inoculum related or more about the host?   Question 3: From what you just said, it sounds like you saying that some children may look perfectly healthy but are not actually healthy, setting them up for a bad encounter with SARS-CoV-2?  Could you explain this please? -Link inflammation? -Can the inflammation be measured accurately?   Question 4: How can a parent tell if their children are metabolically healthy and more importantly, what can parents do to remedy this poor metabolic health? In other words, what is the formula for good metabolic health in children?   Question 5:  Do you think that poor metabolic health explains why African American, Native American, and Hispanic children are more likely to have a difficult time with SARS-CoV-2?     Question 6:  Dr. M, would you please summarize your recommendations to my parent listeners of what they can do, today, to prevent their children from getting sick with Covid-19. -By maximizing healthy immune response. -By minimizing inflammation.   Question 7: Could Covid-19 be a huge wake up call for America and our convenience lifestyle? Could this be the silver lining behind all this tragedy? -We might to need to end the lifestyle of convenience. -Crept into this lifestyle -Duncan Heinz instant cake. They eased us into the convenience lifestyle. Need to ease us out!   - Maybe vertical gardens ending fresh food deserts, the death of fossil fuels that will improve air quality, more attention to water quality, and a slowing down of childhood will make things better.     Outro: Dr. Magryta, you have presented us with some great insights to minimize the effects of what we are all experiencing during the Covid-19 pandemic. Sounds like prevention of illness with SARS-CoV-2 comes down to living like grandma taught us: eating a diet of only whole foods, getting plenty of exercise, spending a lot of time outdoors actively playing surrounded by fresh air and sunshine, getting good quality sleep, and avoiding toxins. Preventing serious illness from SARS-CoV-2 sounds a lot more pleasant than treating the diseases it causes.

Key points: So remember Dr Gator's key points. If we keep our gut health, we can keep our bodies healthy. So to heal the gut we need to follow the 5 R program:  1. Remove artificial, fake, junk food, sugar and processed food.   2. Replace with real foods that feed our bacteria, like eating the rainbow with lots of fruits and veggies.   3. Repopulate our gut with food with plenty of good bugs like sauerkraut and kimchee.   4. Repair your gut with lots of bone broth and foods with nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin D, fish oil and more.   5. Rebalance your body by lowering stress by incorporating a stress management technique into their daily routine to keep the damaging hormones far away from them…love meditating and prayer…and sure we are taking time to go outside, play, exercise and enjoy nature and make sure we are sleeping well, to recharge our and rebalance our bodies for the next day! And remember to always detoxify your body with food and with Epsom salt baths and keeping toxins and chemicals away from you and your home!  Please check out Dr Gator's upcoming summit called Integrative Pediatrics! https://integrativepediatrics.com/summit Please help us start this healing revolution with kids empowering kids.

DR. DARIN INGELS Author of THE LYME SOLUTION: A 5-Part Plan to Fight the Inflammatory Auto-Immune Response and Beat Lyme DiseaseAccording to the CDC, over 300,000 cases of Lyme are reported every year in the United States, and it is one of the fastest-growing infectious diseases in the U.S. and Western Europe. Millions suffer from Lyme worldwide, and countless more have Lyme but don’t know it. THE LYME SOLUTION by Dr. Darin Ingels offers a thorough, holistic approach to treating this rampant disease. Unlike any other book on the market, Dr. Ingels not only focuses on the Lyme infection, he explores the chronic, inflammatory autoimmune response that Lyme triggers. As a result, the body is on high alert for too long. His plan bolsters patients’ faltering immune systems and assists them in recuperating from poor health. THE LYME SOLUTION is a straightforward guide to how people with Lyme disease can advocate for their own health and use innovative treatments to maintain wellness. This book can help doctors and patients use the least invasive ways to facilitate treatment. By following his plan, patients can become even stronger than they were before the Lyme and better equipped to manage recurring symptoms. In an interview, Dr. Ingels will discuss: · Why Lyme is an autoimmune disease as much as an infection · Why Lyme testing is so problematic · Why long-term antibiotics often fail · How Lyme mimics other illnesses and what to look out for · The natural ways to treat Lyme · The best diet for those suffering from Lyme · The most effective exercise regime for those who have Lyme · Kinds of herbs—not antibiotics—that help treat Lyme · How to overcome chronic, debilitating symptoms of Lyme · How to get better sleep when you have Lyme · How parents can limit children’s risk of acquiring Lyme · Ways parents can help children who have Lyme Lyme Disease by the Numbers: · 300,000 people are diagnosed with Lyme disease in the U.S. each year, but only 10% of those cases are reported to the CDC · 3x increase in reported cases of Lyme disease since the 90s · 823,000 Google searches per month for Lyme disease. Interest in the topic, particularly in the summer months, has steadily increased over time. · 95% of reported cases of Lyme disease in 2015 came from the following states: o Connecticut o Delaware o Maine o Maryland o Massachusetts o Minnesota o New Hampshire o New Jersey o New York o Pennsylvania o Rhode Island o Vermont o Virginia o Washington www.dariningelsnd.com Twitter: @lymeexpertND Facebook: @lymeexpertND ABOUT THE AUTHOR Darin Ingels, ND, FAAEM, is a respected leader in natural medicine with numerous publications, international lectures, and more than twenty-six years of experience in the healthcare field. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in medical technology from Purdue University and his doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University. He has worked as a clinical microbiologist/immunologist at Lutheran General Hospital, and is board-certified in Integrative Pediatrics. He is also a candidate for fellowship with the American Academy of Environmental Medicine. His practice focuses on chronic immune disorders, including Lyme disease, autism, allergies, asthma, recurrent or persistent infections, and other immune problems. Dr. Ingels uses diet, nutrients, herbs, homeopathy, and immunotherapy to help his patients achieve better health.

BOOK: The Vaccine-Friendly Plan: Dr. Paul’s Safe and Effective Approach to Immunity and Health—From Pregnancy Through Your Child’s Teen Years - http://amzn.to/2GHYwVV MAIN WEB SITE: https://www.drpaulapproved.com PHOInitiative.org FOR PERSONAL EDUCATIONAL CONSULTS (Not Dr.-Patient): www.vaccinefriendly.com   Safe Vaccines  http://learntruehealth.com/safe-vaccines/ Safe vaccines are beneficial only if we are informed and educated about what exactly are we being injected with. My guest today, Dr. Paul Thomas is neither pro or anti-vaccine. Now, how is that possible? Well, you’re in for a real treat today learning what exactly are safe vaccines.   Growing Up In Africa   Dr. Paul Thomas grew up in a village in Africa since his parents were missionaries. At four years old, he became used to living in a hut with no running water nor electricity. Despite that, Dr. Paul Thomas says his childhood was terrific. Being culturally immersed, he even thought of himself as African.    “Coming from a different culture like that, you are inherently just a little more open to other ideas. One gift my parents gave me was to question authority. That was instilled in me since I was a student in middle school,” recalls Dr. Paul Thomas.   It’s interesting to note that Dr. Paul Thomas even went to high school with the daughters of former president Nelson Mandela. Fast forward years later, Dr. Paul Thomas pursued a medical degree at Dartmouth Medical School in the United States and eventually took his residency in California.    Residency Years   During his residency in the mid-1980s, Dr. Paul Thomas says that’s where he first saw benefits of vaccines. Pediatric hospitals were filled with children who had various diseases, and meningitis was particularly prevalent.    Administering vaccines for meningitis became a routine.  Dr. Paul Thomas said that studies even showed that it was effective. The HIB vaccine added later on to the vaccine schedule, and it was also effective in reducing meningitis. Naturally, it became apparent that those were safe vaccines.   The Fine Line   Dr. Paul Thomas also says doctors are only taught benefits of the vaccines and not the side effects. They see worse cases in hospitals. Hence, they get the mentality that they need to prevent these things. Dr. Paul Thomas says this is also why doctors have a hard time letting go of this “vaccine miracle” concept.    “Honestly if you ask pediatricians today, most will tell you that the most preventative health thing that they can do, gives vaccines. That’s how they are trained,” said Dr. Paul Thomas.    Autism And MMR   So many studies have come out over the years arguing on what are safe vaccines. It’s a never-ending debate. Dr. Paul Thomas has read so many materials on safe vaccines, and one, in particular, intrigued him.   Dr. Paul Thomas across the article by Dr. Andrew Wakefield in 2000, where Dr. Andrew Wakefield wrote about the MMR vaccine and autism. According to Dr. Paul Thomas, Dr. Andrew Wakefield didn’t say the MMR vaccine caused autism. That article which was later on retracted, only suggested that perhaps there might be a link. Dr. Andrew Wakefield was just presenting some case studies in that particular piece.   “I didn’t think vaccines were a part of the problem of autism. In my experience, I saw zero cases of autism in the four years I was at Dartmouth Medical School in the early 1980s,” said Dr. Paul Thomas.   But Dr. Paul Thomas also shares that during his 3-year residency from 1985 to 1988, he did see a couple of cases of PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified).  PDD-NOS is the equivalent of the autism spectrum child today.    Despite that, Dr. Paul Thomas says it was nothing like the severe cases these days where you see a child who is normal about a year of age and then regresses to being non-verbal, miserable and disconnected.    Ideally, Dr. Paul Thomas says that we should only be administered one aluminum-containing vaccine at a time. Furthermore, he advises waiting till after age three before a child is given the MMR vaccine.    Shifting to Alternative Medicine   Dr. Paul Thomas started knowing more about alternative medicine around November 2007. He became active in attending conferences and learning about Integrative Medicine.     Dr. Paul Thomas remembers that the turning point in his career was seeing a two-year-old patient in a push stroller.  The toddler’s head was going back and forth. Dr. Paul Thomas takes pride in being able to connect with kids. But in this case, he wasn’t successful.   “I couldn’t connect. It was the fourth case in four years. That was the last straw for me,” Dr. Paul Thomas said. “So I told my partners I would stop giving Hepatitis B vaccine to newborns and slow down the vaccine schedule. Within a month, I was ousted from the partnership after a secret meeting.”    Blessing In Disguise   Looking back, Dr. Paul Thomas says being ousted from the medical practice partnership was the biggest blessing of his life. Six months later, Dr. Paul Thomas opened Integrative Pediatrics, which is his pediatric practice today.     From a thousand patients, Dr. Paul Thomas says it grew to over 13,000 patients in the next few years. He even had to be closed to new patients for several years, because his practice couldn’t keep up with the demand.    Safe Vaccines   Dr. Paul Thomas says that generally speaking, what people look for is really informed consent. This means people want to have the ability of choice, ability to have a doctor who listens to them and a doctor who’s educated and informed on what exactly are safe vaccines.    “You don’t have to dig far to know that vaccines have caused tremendous harm. Have they had benefits? Absolutely. Which is why I remain somewhat on the neutral side in saying that I am not anti-vaccine,” said Dr. Paul Thomas. “I’m pro-safe vaccines. I’ve progressed along to the point where I now don’t believe there is such a thing.”   In other words, Dr. Paul Thomas says it’s impossible to have 100% safe vaccines. This is because we are injecting things that stimulate the immune system. This alone poses some benefits and risks. Apart from that, Dr. Paul Thomas says we’re also injecting toxins and elements that overstimulate the immune system.   Informed Choices   Dr. Paul Thomas reveals that medical students are not taught that there is a vaccine compensation program. Doctors aren’t trained about the vaccine adverse events reporting system.    Furthermore, Dr. Paul Thomas says it is essential that we need to look for a doctor who asks the ‘why’ questions. And do our research as well.   The Vaccine-Friendly Plan    Dr. Paul Thomas’ book is about a safe and effective approach to immunity and health.  It covers a vaccine-friendly plan from pregnancy to a child’s teenage years. The book is really for people who genuinely want to follow the CDC schedule.   The guiding principle of the book is to minimize toxins, minimize risks, and still get some protection. Dr. Paul Thomas also singles out that aluminum is toxic, yet if you postpone some of the childhood vaccines until they’re older, it will make sense for a lot of reasons.    “I wrote my book because after I started my practice, I instituted what I called the Vaccine-Friendly Plan. Don’t do vaccines during pregnancy,” advises Dr. Paul Thomas. “No Hepatitis vaccine until you’re at least pre-teen unless the birth mother has Hepatitis B. And there’s no need for polio because it’s not infectious.”   Vaccine-Friendly Plan Limitations    Under the plan, Dr. Paul Thomas has gathered data from over 1000 patients.  From the batch, 894 patients were vaccinated, and 238 patients weren’t vaccinated.    From that data, Dr. Paul Thomas found out that all of the patients with autism was in the group that was most vaccinated. On the contrary, there was no autism in the unvaccinated group.   “But a little caveat. There were 3 cases in the Vaccine-Friendly Plan, of children who were starting to show autistic-like symptoms such as decreased eye contact and language delay,” shares Dr. Paul Thomas. “Anytime I would see any delay; I would immediately stop further vaccines. I wish doctors and family practitioners would follow that principle.”   Dr. Paul Thomas also reports that three kids in the Vaccine-Friendly Plan and five kids in the vaccinated group returned to normal. This was after Dr. Paul Thomas stopped administering the rest of the vaccines.   Hepatitis Vaccine   Dr. Paul Thomas believes that Hepatitis A Vaccine is unnecessary. In fact, Dr. Paul Thomas has not encountered a Hepatitis A case in his entire medical career.    For children, in particular, Dr. Paul Thomas says Hepatitis A is a benign, mild, cold, flu-like illness. It is harmless and apparently, we develop a natural immunity to it. Hence, we do not need a vaccine for it.    Dr. Paul Thomas recalls that it was around 2001 that doctors were giving Hepatitis B  vaccine to teenagers. Years before that, the vaccine was only given to healthcare workers.    So scientifically speaking, Dr. Paul Thomas says it made no sense injecting a newborn.  This is because babies have an immature immune system and it is unnecessary to vaccinate them with a vaccine preventing a disease that they won’t see until they become teenagers.   “We already know from all sorts of vaccine research that the younger you are, you get less of a protective antibody response,” said Dr. Paul Thomas. “This is why we do all these boosters for these childhood vaccines because we get such a weak response when we’re very young.”   Chicken Pox Vaccine   Dr. Paul Thomas says the whole situation surrounding chicken pox is tragic. He shares that before 1965, we all had the chicken pox. We mainly had to be around people who had chicken pox to boost our immunity.    Since we had this vaccine program, the medical field then started adding a booster around 1995. Dr. Paul Thomas said the vaccine did pretty well for a long time. Shingles were in fact, only something that old people got.    “Before the chicken pox vaccine was instituted as a national program, we had about 50 deaths per year in the U.S. from chicken pox. Not many died due to shingles. Now, it’s the opposite. There are fewer deaths from chicken pox and more from shingles. Shingles even occur in children now.”   Big Bucks   We all know that the medical field is a lucrative business. Pharmaceutical companies earn a lot from selling medication and doctors are often willing to grab the chance to earn a lot from the medication they prescribe to patients.   “Two big incentives are pushing doctors and hospitals to do vaccines. One is financial, and the other is quality measures,” reveals Dr. Paul Thomas.    He adds, “The markup on vaccines is as low as $1. But an average of $15 per shot is given to doctors, not counting all the child visits. Other states have a $200 per patient bonus by having children fully-vaccinated.”   Herd Immunity   Dr. Paul Thomas says that in medical school, students are taught that by vaccinating the population, you are protecting everybody including those not yet vaccinated. In some cases, this is true. But in most cases, Dr. Paul Thomas says it’s completely wrong.    Dr. Paul Thomas cites Hepatitis B as an example wherein the herd immunity is not applicable. Essentially, you can’t have herd immunity if the vaccine is not working. But some data shows vaccinated people can still carry and transmit disease. So, they are contributing to infecting the herd.    Another study shows results of patients who had the influenza vaccine. Apparently, when a vaccinated person coughs, Dr. Paul Thomas says they are in fact, emitting 630% more influenza than an unvaccinated infected person.    “Vaccines trigger an antibody response to one particular thing. It does nothing to boost the rest of your immune system,” Dr. Paul Thomas said. “The only way to know if the vaccine is truly improving our health would be through long-term studies, comparisons, and health outcomes over several years.”   PHOI   Dr. Paul Thomas has started a registry, the PHOI, to gather more information about vaccines.  It is also an excellent resource to find out what are the safe vaccines.    “It’s not for everybody to sign up. Because to be a part of this registry, you have to be at present, in my clinic with a newborn. We are only registering newborns, and we are going to track their health for 18 years,” said Dr. Paul Thomas.   Dr. Paul Thomas is happy to announce that there’s also another clinic in Houston that’s coming on board plus a couple more mainstream clinics. The goal is to look at all parameters that might affect health outcome.    “There are plenty of things we can do, and a lot has to do with having a balanced immune system,” said Dr. Paul Thomas. “It’s not how well you vaccinate that determines your health. It’s how balanced your immune system is.”   Immunosuppressant   Dr. Paul Thomas shares that immunosuppressant drugs are one of the top 5 moneymakers in the United States. However, immunosuppressant drugs put one at risk for infection and cancer. As a result, Dr. Paul Thomas believes we’re creating a perfect storm by destroying our body’s immunity and triggering inflammation.     “We need to eat real food, get extra vitamin D and reduce stress. Our body is wired for fight or flight because our hormones set it up,” said Dr. Paul Thomas. “Make sure to get enough sleep, exercise, fix the biome, get healthy bacteria in the gut and eat organic foods to bring down the toxic load.”    Be Informed   Speaking of toxic load, you’d be surprised to know how much toxins and heavy metals we have in our body. There was a Heavy Metals Summit recently, and I’m inviting listeners to sign up to check out the fantastic speakers participating in the summit.   “Remind listeners to let parents be parents. Insist on informed consent. It means you’re told the risk, the benefits and alternatives to the procedure. Then your choice needs to be honored,” said Dr. Paul Thomas. “Secondly, we need more platforms to get the word out there. Every person has to go on this journey. And have the courage to reject junk science.”  Dr. Paul Thomas, M.D., F.A.A.P., received his M.D. from Dartmouth Medical School and completed his pediatric residency at the University of California San Diego. He is a board-certified fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, board-certified in Integrative and Holistic Medicine, and a diplomat of the American Board of Addiction Medicine.    Dr. Paul Thomas taught residents and medical students from 1988 to 1993, practiced at Westside Pediatrics from 1993 to 2008 and opened his practice in 2008 Integrative Pediatrics, where he currently serves over 13,000 patients in the Portland, Oregon metro area.    Dr. Paul Thomas is the Founder of PHOI (Pediatric Health Outcomes Initiative). He is a Founding Director of PIC (Physicians for Informed Consent). And a Co-Chair for OFMF (Oregonians for Medical Freedom). He is the co-author (with Jennifer Margulis, Ph.D.) of The Vaccine-Friendly Plan: Dr. Paul’s Safe and Effective Approach to Immunity and Health-From Pregnancy Through Your Child’s Teen Years published 2016 from Ballantine.  Get Connected With Dr. Paul Thomas!  Official Website Pediatric Health Outcomes Initiative Vaccine Friendly Doctors Facebook – Dr. Paul Thomas Facebook – The Vaccine-Friendly Plan Facebook – Integrative Pediatrics Facebook – Dr. Paul Thomas MD Twitter Book by Dr. Paul Thomas   The Vaccine-Friendly Plan Book Recommended Book by Dr. Paul Thomas An Epidemic of Absence by Moises Velasquez-Manoff     The Links You Are Looking For: Support Us on Patreon & Join the Learn True Health Book Club!!!

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about the many factors involved in treating a child on the autism spectrum. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Amy Derksen, ND. Dr. Amy Derksen is a Naturopathic and DAN! Physician, Fellow Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs and Board Certified in Integrative Pediatrics with a full scope of practice in Washington State since 2003. She did her undergraduate studies in Biochemistry, which she applies to understanding the newest research on detoxification and genetic susceptibilities. She was fortunate to do her medical post-graduate training with Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD. Dr. Klinghardt has developed an amazing system of advanced kinesiology called ART (Autonomic Response Testing) which helps determine stressors to the autonomic nervous system. She is an instructor in ART for the Klinghardt Academy. She specializes in working both with Autism and chronically ill patients, including Lyme disease. She feels that the more we can understand about our kids, the more we will understand everyone's health. The autistic child is very similar to a toxic adult, they have just accumulated those toxins in a shorter amount of time. Key Takeaways: - How does a child with autism help us to better understand how to improve the health of everyone? - What is the connection between autism and Lyme disease? - What are the common denominators in autism? - What is the role of toxicity and how do you support detoxification? - What are the primary microbial issues that may be found in autism? - What is the role of Clostridia in autism? - What can be done about oxalates? - Does LDI have a role in autism treatment? - What is the role of inflammation? - How do you approach PANDAS/PANS? - Does KPU play a role in autism? - How important is the home environment? - What role do mitochondria play in chronic illness? - How can I get pooping? - What is the role of genetics in autism?

Guests: Dr. Paul Thomas and Jennifer Margulis, PhD, co-authors of the book: The Vaccine-Friendly Plan: Dr. Paul’s Safe and Effective Approach to Immunity and Health—From Pregnancy Through Your Child’s Teen Years. In it, they describe "a slower, evidenced based protocol that limits a child’s exposure to aluminum, mercury, and other neurotoxins while building overall good health.” In this episode, we will cover: why the current vaccine schedule from the CDC is NOT safe for all children and how Dr. Paul would modify it to make it safer what the common vaccine reactions look like that parents should report to their pediatrician immediately once seeing them in your child after a vaccine shot which of the vaccines carry the most risk of injury or are unnecessary and should be skipped altogether why you should never give acetaminophen (Tylenol) to your child, especially if you are vaccinating them Resources mentioned in the conversation: Dr. Paul Thomas' website: www.DrPaulApproved.com The Vaccine Friendly Plan book is on Facebook here Jennifer Margulis' website: www.JenniferMargulis.net connect with Jennifer Margulis on Facebook here Buy The Vaccine Friendly Plan on Amazon here About Dr. Paul Thomas: Dr. Paul Thomas, M.D., F.A.A.P., received his medical degree from Dartmouth Medical School and completed his pediatric residency at the University of California San Diego.
