    Boosting Children's Health Naturally: Navigating Winter Illnesses Without Relying on Vaccines and Masks

    Picture
    As pediatricians with decades of experience in pediatrics, Larry and I have deliberated on childhood respiratory illnesses, focusing on the so-called “White Lung Syndrome.” We believe this is not a new phenomenon but rather a manifestation of common respiratory infections prevalent during winter.

    It's crucial to acknowledge that news reporters often read from teleprompters, relaying stories prepared and sent by others. This raises questions about the motives behind these narratives: Are they intended to inform and protect, or to instill fear and promote products, such as vaccines? Frequently, stories that begin with alarming warnings end with recommendations for RSV, flu, and COVID vaccinations
    Dr. Palevsky and I concur that administering these vaccines to children may do more harm than good. Vaccinations can disrupt the innate cellular immunity, which is essential for preventing infections. 

    As parents, it's our responsibility to safeguard our children’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. The most nurturing approach includes boosting natural immunity through organic, whole foods, avoiding toxins, and steering clear of potentially harmful products like vaccines. We advocate against using masks for children, as they can be detrimental. Instead, we recommend fostering a nurturing environment filled with love and support, promoting exercise, ensuring adequate sleep, and focusing on stress reduction for robust health. Consider limiting exposure to potentially distressing content on news, television, and social media, and opting for more positive and informative programs, such as Good Morning CHD.
    Happy Holidays!

    Unlocking the Secrets of Vitamin D: Understanding Deficiency, Benefits, and How to Achieve Optimal Levels

    kids-first-4-ever-blog-mdash-child-health-amp-parenting-news

    Do you know your vitamin D level? Why is it important?

    Vitamin D is a hormone that helps your body absorb and retain calcium and phosphorus, both crucial for bone health. It also boosts the immune system, lowers inflammation, and promotes heart health.
    Over the past 20 years, I have measured vitamin D levels for thousands of patients. Most were severely deficient, and almost nobody had levels in the optimal range of 50 – 80 ng/ml (125-200 nmol/L). Normal levels are considered by most labs to be around 30 – 100 ng/ml (75-250 nmol/L). Labs will report your results in either ng/ml or nmol/L, and it's important to note that 1 ng/ml equals 2.5 nmol/L.
    While you may not be aware that you are deficient, it is possible that your fatigue, bone pain, muscle weakness, immune challenges, depression, or anxiety may be related to low vitamin D levels.

    What Can You Do?

    You can get your vitamin level tested in the comfort of your home HERE or have your physician or healthcare provider order the test for you.

    If you have a vitamin D deficiency, exposure to sunshine can help maintain good levels, but to raise low levels requires supplementation. This is the one vitamin (actually a hormone) for which there are no foods naturally high in vitamin D. Fortified products like milk and orange juice are available, but you would have to consume them in excessive quantities (gallons daily) to get enough. There is some vitamin D in fish or fish oils, but not enough to rectify a deficiency state.
    Before retiring this past year, I promoted vitamin D supplementation for the past two decades. Infants were advised to take 1000 IU daily, children 2000 IU daily, and teens and adults 4000 or 5000 IU daily. Not one ever reached levels anywhere near the high range of normal, and sometimes double these amounts were required to get vitamin D levels into the optimal range.

    Check with your trusted healthcare provider and empower yourself with the knowledge of your vitamin D levels before, during, and after supplementing. It can take months of supplementation to get your levels into the optimal range, and our need for vitamin D is lifelong.

    Navigating Childhood Immunizations: Your Right to Choose and the Importance of Informed Decisions

    kids-first-4-ever-blog-mdash-child-health-amp-parenting-news

    Are vaccines required for your child to attend school?

    With summer winding down and schools about to open, parents around the country (USA) have received or will receive letters of exclusion from their child’s school. The letter will state that your child is required to be up to date on their childhood immunizations according to the CDC, or they will not be allowed to attend school.
    You are not told that other than a handful of states that have eliminated both the religious and the philosophical exemptions, you are free to do whatever you believe is best for your child. You can do some, all, or none of the childhood vaccines. Each state may have a different form or process but rest assured; it is the law of your state that you have this right; the freedom to choose.
    To learn more about the specifics for your state, NVIC (National Vaccine Information Center) https://www.nvic.org has all the information you need. 
    Image description
    If you live in California, New York, West Virginia, Maine, and possibly Mississippi, the only exemption allowed is a medical exemption. All states allow medical exemptions, which is where a doctor writes a medical exemption. The challenge for doctors is that the states only allow medical exemptions according to the CDC guidelines, which means you can only get exemptions for a vaccine that has caused death or a severe anaphylactic reaction. They essentially don’t allow exemptions for all vaccines. More importantly, doctors who write medical exemptions invite an investigation by their state medical board and risk losing their medical license. This has made medical exemptions something, in theory, one could hope to get, but in reality, and practically speaking, medical exemptions no longer exist.
    So, what do you do if you live in one of the states that only allow medical exemptions?
    Basically, you either must get your child up to date, home school, or leave the state for one that allows religious or philosophical exemptions. If you feel you have no choice but to get your child up to date, I highly recommend that you consult a medical provider to help you figure out the safest way to do this.

    Parents and guardians, there is nothing more important in your role to nurture and protect your children than how you handle the vaccine situation. There is no one size fits all that makes sense. Each vaccine should be looked at individually, and you should determine if it makes sense for your child, given the prevalence of the disease for which there is a vaccine and the risks and benefits of giving the vaccine or not giving the vaccine.

    Putting our children first is our number one priority!

    Freedom and Preparation: Embracing Wellness and Navigating the Future Amidst a Challenging Health Care Landscape

    kids-first-4-ever-blog-mdash-child-health-amp-parenting-news

    Navigating the health care system, embracing wellness, and preparing for the future amidst medical uncertainty.​

    ​Becoming aware of the destructive forces around us is not for the timid. For most of my career as a pediatrician, I witnessed the capture of the doctor-patient relationship, the treatment options, and ultimately the entire infrastructure of our medical system. We have a sick care system.
    Healthy people don’t use medical services—the pharmaceutical industry profits when we are ill, especially when we have chronic conditions needing life-long medication. I had a front-row seat to the vaccine show and saw with my own eyes and heard the hundreds of stories with my own ears of health destroyed by vaccines. The data is in, and the debate only continues due to junk “tobacco” science and censorship.
    Once you know the truth, there is no going back. We cannot unsee what we have seen, unhear what we have heard, and unknow what we know. If you have been paying attention, perhaps you have noticed a few things have changed these past three years. Public health authorities seemed to have more power than the leaders of nations. They grabbed emergency powers, “war on COVID,” and unelected people were able to force the shutdown of businesses, schools, and places of worship, require people to wear harmful masks, take shots that were harmful and, in many cases, deadly and by weaponizing fear got most of the world to go along with this.
    Image description
    There is censorship and massive propaganda by almost all the captured mainstream media and social media outlets. This has created divisions; political, religious, gender, racial, and even science has been weaponized. Let’s be clear, science is never settled, and nobody owns “the science.” Many of the best doctors and health care providers, those who promote health and wellness, have been marginalized or “canceled,” as when your state licensing board takes away your license.
    How do we prepare for what may come next?
    We move away from the broken and captured system and build a parallel system that promotes health and wellness. This is more than just health care. We will need to reclaim our power and sovereignty. Free people unite into communities of families and extended families and like-minded, freedom-loving individuals who will develop local communities to support one another during the next “crisis.”
    These communities will need independent ways to communicate, trade, and support one another. With the looming digital IDs, health passports, and digital currencies that will be used to control the movement and commerce of the masses, the time to prepare to opt out and live free and independent of government overreach is now.
    If you value freedom, the time is now. How, might you ask?
    Start with taking responsibility for your health and that of your family. This may mean a greenhouse or garden. Optimize your health with exercise, adequate sleep, reducing stress, and getting in touch with your soul—nurture relationships with freedom-loving friends and neighbors.

    Above all else, while working to be prepared, cast off fear. Everything will come to pass, and for as long as we have breath in us, we are free to love, play and enjoy this incredible world we have been given. A walk in the forest or to your peaceful place will remind you that love wins and it is good to be alive. If you are going through difficult times, hang in there and know that this, too, shall pass.
