261: Beyond Behavior: How Stress, Sleep, Nutrition, and Sensory Needs Affect Neurodivergent Children with Patricia Lemer
L
8:05Laura FroyanHOST
So with that understanding then, can you give us a kind of an overarching definition of what total load theory is and how it can be helpful in understanding neurodivergent folks?
P
8:25Patricia LemerGUEST
And I live in Pittsburgh where we have over 400 bridges and every year or so one goes.
P
8:34Patricia LemerGUEST
And we have to figure out why did that bridge collapse so we can prevent it in the future.

8:30Ronald HoffmanHOST
And I guess the American Academy of Pediatrics has some, shall we say, friendly ties to the pharmaceutical industry that makes vaccines?
P
8:39Patricia LemerGUEST
So I've addressed the whole vaccine issue in a chapter called Vaccine Facts and Myths.
P
8:47Patricia LemerGUEST
And I take 10... of the generally accepted myths, which is that vaccines saved the world and that vaccinated kids are healthier than unvaccinated kids, neither of which is true, and show you the research and the truth behind those very widely held beliefs.
P
9:13Patricia LemerGUEST
And so it's very clear that vaccinated kids have more allergies, more colds, more ear infections, more tummy aches than vaccinated kids.
P
9:28Patricia LemerGUEST
And that in today's generally clean world where people are generally eating pretty good food, the vaccinated kids fall down when compared to the unvaccinated kids health wise.
P
9:46Patricia LemerGUEST
And so that's a really, really important chapter for people to read and understand that this is all about money this is about money and years ago I wrote an article called do you really need a pediatrician because as you pointed out the pediatricians job right now during wellness checks is to vaccinate you.
