By Michelle Perro, MD – Glyphosate and fluoride, when combined, form a partnership that neither regulators nor the public fully understand. Once they come into contact with aluminum, the trio can create a complex molecule that alters how the body performs some of its most fundamental biochemical tasks.
By Michelle Perro, MD – Environmental decisions made today shape the health of future generations. The fetus developing in utero is already responding epigenetically to maternal exposures, nutritional status, stress, and environmental toxicants, and by grounding environmental health policy in the rights of the child, we provide a moral and legal lens through which to evaluate practices that alter the air our youngest breathe and the ecosystems that sustain them.
By Michelle Perro, MD – Without labeling of foods, parents are unable to identify which are industrialized “food-like” products and which are produced without engineering, almost requiring people to have a PhD in genetics to be able to avoid GMOs in the aisles of their local market.
by Michelle Perro, MD – Children are exposed to an ever-increasing array of chemicals that are responsible for the decline in health. We should not have to wait 5-10 years to address this issue, and there are significant changes we can make now, to make a difference.
Synthetic milks, introduced around 2019–2022, are biotech products made through precision fermentation—using genetically engineered microbes to mimic dairy proteins without cows. Marketed as ethical and sustainable, these lab-grown alternatives are often driven by profit and intellectual property control, not health. Food innovation has its place, but our children deserve time-tested nutrition—not biotech experiments.
The ionic foot bath in this study releases toxicants from the body through the feet into the water. The filtered current promotes further detoxification through the relaxation response.
The primary goal in the management of environmental toxicity is reducing the toxic load, which allows the body to address stored toxins.
Recent investigations have revealed concerning levels of toxic metals like arsenic, lead, cadmium, aluminum, and mercury in various baby food products. These findings underscore the need for vigilant monitoring.
As pediatric integrative clinicians, we examine children’s health trends, focusing on root causes of illness. GMOScience.org educates on food’s impact on kids’ well-being.
Probiotics play a crucial role in supporting the gut microbiome during pregnancy and for breastfed babies. Learn about the benefits and considerations.
Managing pain in children is crucial. Homeopathic remedies offer a gentle approach. Case studies show effective relief for teething and injuries.
Abdominal pain in children can have complex origins beyond the gut. Integrative medicine can uncover underlying issues like migraines linked to stress.
Managing new tick bites in children with Lyme disease can be complex. Integrative approaches like herbal treatments or antibiotics may be necessary for effective management.
The most commonly used term in pediatrics is atopic dermatitis (AD), which is also the most common inflammatory skin condition of childhood. It is defined as an often chronic and relapsing disease, usually beginning in infancy or childhood.
Recent patient visits highlight potential impacts of post-CoV-2 injections on teens’ immune health. Integrative approaches aim to support immune function and overall well-being.
It has proven to be difficult, if not impossible, to proceed to full-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for most of the natural methods that cannot be patented or otherwise monopolized.
By addressing food sensitivities through targeted testing and personalized dietary interventions, individuals can take a significant step toward reducing inflammation, improving gut health, and enhancing overall well-being.
As the producer of The Moss Report, the year leading up to the Covid-19 pandemic was filled with anticipation and excitement. We had invested years of hard work and significant resources into two major projects: our feature film, Immunotherapy: The Battle Within, and...
