In this eye-opening episode of With the Wind: Pediatric Perspectives, Dr. Paul welcomes back renowned cardiologist and researcher Dr. Peter McCullough, M.D. to confront the truth behind what he calls “COVID corruption.” Together, they examine the deeply flawed public health response that led to widespread harm—detailing how censorship, pharmaceutical influence, and the suppression of early treatment changed the course of the pandemic and modern medicine itself.

The Road to COVID Control
Dr. McCullough traces policy and planning back to the Bioshield Act of 2003 and the PREP Act of 2005, noting how these laws laid the groundwork for today’s emergency health framework. He explains that few were paying attention until the world was already sick, but the documents, funding channels, and networks enabling a rapid vaccine rollout were years in the making.

Developing Early Treatment When Institutions Failed
At the height of the crisis, when hospitals had no outpatient guidelines, Dr. McCullough worked with leading physicians nationwide to create the first early treatment protocol for COVID-19. Published in The American Journal of Medicine, his McCullough Protocol became the journal’s most-cited paper, offering a life-saving, multi-drug approach. The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) later adopted it, filling a vacuum left by federal agencies that, according to McCullough, “fell down completely.”

​Introduction
In this Pediatric Perspectives episode of With the Wind, Dr. Paul welcomes internationally renowned chef, restaurateur, and author Pete Evans. Known for his passion for whole foods and healthy lifestyles, Pete joins the conversation to discuss his new book Healthy Food for Healthy Kids and share practical wisdom for parents seeking to nourish their children.

​Dr. Paul opens by highlighting his own journey as a pediatrician who often relied on store-bought baby food. Reading Pete’s recipes for nutrient-dense, kid-friendly meals inspired him to reflect on the importance of preparing food that truly supports children’s growth and health.

​Pete Evans explains that his approach to nutrition stems from both his career as a chef and his role as a father. Prevention, he emphasizes, is the cornerstone of his philosophy: “when people really want to make a change to their health, it’s because they’ve faced a diagnosis or a challenge. My goal has always been prevention.”

​In this episode of With the Wind: SCIENCE Revealed, Dr. Paul Thomas welcomes back pediatrician Dr. Lawrence Palevsky for a powerful conversation on measles. Together, they explore history, natural immunity, and the fear-based messaging that dominates public health today. This discussion challenges assumptions and encourages parents to think critically about how we understand illness, vaccines, and healing.

Looking Back at Measles Before Vaccines
Dr. Palevsky recalls his own childhood experience with measles and reviews historical data. Mortality rates had already declined significantly before the measles vaccine was introduced in 1963. He emphasizes that the illness, when supported with nutrition, hydration, vitamins, and rest, was generally benign.

In this important episode of With the Wind, Dr. Paul sits down with integrative physician David Brownstein, M.D. to explore the critical role of iodine in human health. Together, they examine how iodine deficiency contributes to today’s rising rates of chronic illness and cancer, and how practical iodine supplementation can help families prepare for respiratory illness season.

Dr. David Brownstein has spent decades treating patients with integrative approaches that focus on root causes of disease rather than symptom suppression. In this conversation, he explains why iodine is essential for every cell in the body and particularly concentrated in glandular tissues such as the thyroid, ovaries, uterus, breast, prostate, and pancreas.

The discussion also covers the history of iodized salt — once hailed as a public health miracle in preventing goiter — but why it is insufficient to meet the body’s needs. Dr. Brownstein describes how modern farming methods, soil depletion, and environmental toxins have exacerbated iodine deficiency in the population.

​This episode of With the Wind with Dr. Paul brings together Dr. Paul Thomas and renowned pediatrician Dr. Larry Palevsky for a deep dive into what it takes to raise happy, healthy children in a complex world. The conversation covers holistic pediatric care, practical parenting strategies, and the importance of critical thinking, emotional connection, and natural approaches from preconception through the teen years.

Dr. Larry Palevsky, M.D., is a leading voice in holistic pediatrics, known for his decades of dedication to child health and advocacy for informed, natural parenting. In this conversation, Dr. Palevsky shares:

On this week’s episode of With the Wind: Science Revealed, Dr. Paul sits down with Theresa Wrangham, Executive Director of the National Vaccine Information Center, to discuss the far-reaching implications of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. This pivotal law changed the landscape of vaccine policy, compensation, and parental rights — and its influence is still felt today.

​Theresa Wrangham’s Background
Theresa brings decades of expertise to this conversation. As the Executive Director of the NVIC, she has been at the forefront of public engagement on vaccine policy, exemption laws, and informed consent. She has worked with the CDC, presented to federal advisory committees, and co-founded the Autism Society for Boulder County. Her leadership has helped shape national discussions on vaccine safety and individual choice.

Understanding the 1986 Act
The 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act was created to address growing concerns about vaccine injuries and the lawsuits that followed. While it removed certain avenues of legal recourse, Theresa emphasizes that it was the 2011 Supreme Court decision in Bruesewitz v. Wyeth that effectively granted vaccine manufacturers a full liability shield.

In this eye-opening episode of With the Wind, Dr. Paul sits down with Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, a leading voice in vaccine risk awareness, to explore the increasingly common question: why are more parents saying no to vaccines? Drawing on more than 25 years of research and clinical experience, Dr. Tenpenny helps us understand the shift in parental mindset and how knowledge, experience, and critical thinking are changing the landscape of pediatric care.

​Awakening Through Research
Dr. Tenpenny's journey began with a simple question: are vaccines really as safe and effective as we've been told? Since then, she has become a tireless researcher and outspoken advocate for informed consent. In this conversation, she emphasizes that today's parents have access to an abundance of resources—books like VAX FACTS and Turtles All the Way Down, as well as platforms like her own Substack—that were unavailable to prior generations.

In this pivotal episode of With the Wind, Dr. Paul Thomas is joined by Dr. Larry Palevsky, M.D., an integrative pediatrician and renowned advocate for informed consent. As the back-to-school season approaches, they delve into the aggressive push for vaccination mandates, revealing how financial incentives and pharmaceutical influence have reshaped pediatric policy. This candid discussion empowers parents to critically assess medical decisions and protect their children’s health amidst increasing external pressures.

Dr. Larry Palevsky has dedicated his career to challenging mainstream narratives on childhood vaccinations and advocating for parents' rights to make informed medical decisions. In this conversation, Dr. Palevsky shares his journey, from practicing conventional pediatrics to recognizing the harmful impacts of over-vaccination and systemic suppression of vaccine injury data.

In this episode of With the Wind: Pediatric Perspectives, Dr. Paul welcomes Dr. James “Neu” Neuenschwander, president of the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS), to explore the critical questions: Is autism preventable? Is it treatable? Drawing on decades of clinical experience and the latest research, Dr. Neuenschwander shares actionable guidance for families hoping to prevent, heal from, or better understand autism and related toxicities.

Dr. James Neuenschwander is a nationally recognized leader in biomedical approaches to neurodevelopmental disorders. As MAPS president, he has treated over a thousand children with autism, continually refining his approach to address the rising severity and complexity of cases seen today.

In this episode of With the Wind, Dr. Paul Thomas sits down with Dr. David Brownstein, a leading voice in holistic medicine, to explore integrative approaches for treating viral illnesses in children. As mainstream medicine continues to promote vaccines as the primary solution, Dr. Brownstein shares his personal journey from conventional medicine to holistic practice, the development of his clinic’s viral protocol, and the importance of supporting the body’s innate immune system. This conversation offers parents practical, evidence-based alternatives for keeping their children well during virus season—without unnecessary fear or over-reliance on pharmaceuticals.

Dr. Brownstein’s Background and Turning Point
Dr. Brownstein grew up in a conventional household, following standard medical advice and struggling with chronic asthma. After completing medical school and residency, he began practicing conventional medicine but quickly became disillusioned. “I’m not helping people, I’m just prescribing all these drugs,” he recalls. The turning point came when he witnessed his father’s remarkable recovery from heart disease using natural therapies. This experience led Dr. Brownstein to embrace holistic medicine, focusing on nutrition, supplementation, and root-cause healing.
