    With the Wind with Dr. Paul — Show 194, Pediatric Perspectives: How to Avoid Winter Sickness Naturally with Lawrence B. Palevsky, MD
    Release Date: February 4 
    Presenters: Dr. Paul Thomas, Lawrence B. Palevsky 
    Length: ~36 minutes

    Summary
    In this in-depth winter health episode, Dr. Paul Thomas and Lawrence B. Palevsky, MD examine why respiratory illness spikes every winter—and why the dominant “infection-first” narrative often misses what’s actually happening in the body. Together, they explore how inflammation, diet, stress, environmental toxins, and immune suppression contribute to cough, mucus, fever, and breathing distress, especially in children.
    Dr. Palevsky shares what he is seeing clinically during this season, including common patterns labeled as RSV, flu, pneumonia, or pertussis, and explains why many of these presentations reflect the body’s attempt to detoxify and rebalance rather than a failure of immunity. Dr. Paul adds clinical context from decades in pediatrics, outlining when families can safely manage illness at home and when hospital evaluation is truly necessary.
    This conversation also addresses testing limitations, vaccine narratives, fear-driven public health messaging, and—most importantly—how parents can stay grounded, observant, and confident during winter illness season.

    Quote
    “The body is incredibly intelligent. What we’re seeing isn’t a failure of immunity—it’s the body trying to clear inflammation and toxicity the best way it knows how.” — Lawrence B. Palevsky, MD

    Conclusion
    This episode offers parents and caregivers a calm, practical framework for navigating winter sickness without panic. Dr. Paul Thomas and Dr. Lawrence Palevsky emphasize observation over fear, physiology over labels, and confidence over compliance.

    Examining early COVID treatment, vaccine policies, and spike protein concerns

    early outpatient COVID treatment, COVID vaccine concerns for children, McCullough Protocol results, spike protein S1 persistence data, natural immunity COVID 97 percent
    In this episode of With the Wind: Science Revealed, Dr. Paul welcomes Dr. Peter McCullough, a highly published internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist recognized for his early leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their conversation focuses on early outpatient treatment, the lack of leadership from major medical institutions, concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine program, and new insights into spike protein persistence. This episode presents a clear and detailed look at what the data and clinical experience have shown.
    When Institutions Withdrew, Early Treatment Emerged Elsewhere
    Dr. Paul highlights Dr. McCullough’s landmark 2020 paper, Pathophysiological Basis and Rationale for Early Outpatient Treatment of SARS-CoV-2, which laid out the first organized outpatient treatment protocol in the early months of the pandemic. Dr. McCullough recounts his surprise that no major academic center—Harvard, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, or others—ever produced such a protocol or positioned itself as a leader in early treatment. Hospitals instead waited for NIH and IDSA guidance, which focused solely on inpatient care rather than preventing hospitalization and death.

    Biopharmaceutical Debacle: How COVID Still Haunts Us

    ​You won’t want to miss out on hearing from our special guest “truth-teller” this week, on “Pediatric Perspectives.” His name: Peter McCullough, M.D. In this episode, Dr. McCullough shares compelling information on how, years later, COVID is still haunting us. We are facing, in his words, “The biggest problem that humanity has ever tackled.” As Dr. McCullough points out, not only has its treatment been a failure in many ways, but also its “vaccine campaign…will go down as the largest biopharmaceutical debacle in human history.” And yet, helping those impacted has become the “most rewarding thing” from all the years he has been a physician.

    00:01:35 – 00:02:30 — Introduction of Dr. Peter McCullough
    Dr. Paul introduces Dr. McCullough as an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist, and COVID expert with more than 1,000 publications.
    00:02:30 – 00:03:20 — Early Outpatient Treatment Leadership
    Dr. Paul highlights McCullough’s 2020 article that established the first early outpatient treatment protocol for COVID-19.
    00:03:20 – 00:04:13 — Lack of Academic Leadership
    Dr. McCullough notes that major institutions such as Harvard, Mayo Clinic, and Cleveland Clinic never created early outpatient treatment protocols or asserted leadership during the pandemic.
    00:04:13 – 00:05:00 — Hospitals Deferred to Government Guidance
    He explains that hospitals waited for NIH and IDSA guidance, which focused only on inpatient treatment, resulting in no centers of excellence for COVID care.
    00:05:00 – 00:06:20 — McCullough Protocol Observations and Outcomes
    Dr. McCullough describes treating thousands of COVID patients and notes:
    • the pulmonary exam differs from other illnesses,
    • infectious disease doctors often never examined patients directly, and
    • published comparative data show the protocol is associated with about an 85% reduction in hospitalization and death.
      He states the principles of the protocol have been attributed to saving tens of millions of lives.
    00:06:20 – 00:07:26 — Natural Immunity at 97%
    He explains nearly everyone has had COVID by now, reducing the need for treatment in most cases, though rare severe cases still occur in high-risk individuals.
    00:07:42 – 00:09:23 — Infection Likelihood and Vaccine Discussion
    Dr. Paul references Cleveland Clinic data showing increased infection risk with more COVID vaccine doses.
    Dr. McCullough states the 97% natural immunity rate is due to infection, not vaccination.
    00:08:31 – 00:09:23 — The Vaccine Campaign as a “Biopharmaceutical Debacle”
    Dr. McCullough reiterates his position—first published in August 2020—that the COVID-19 vaccine program would become “the largest biopharmaceutical debacle in human history.”
    00:09:23 – 00:10:26 — Early Safety Reports and Suppression
    He discusses Pfizer’s report documenting 1,223 deaths within the first 90 days of vaccine rollout and asserts that both Pfizer and the FDA attempted to cover up the data.
    00:09:52 – 00:12:02 — Why Is the Vaccine on the Childhood Schedule?
    They discuss ACIP’s decision to add COVID-19 vaccines to the childhood schedule despite:
    • extremely low risk of severe disease in children,
    • the boosters lacking full approval for pediatric use, and
    • emerging concerns over cardiac, neurologic, immunologic, and thrombotic risks.
      Dr. Paul states that for children, the vaccine is “basically all harm and no benefit.”
    00:12:16 – 00:13:05 — Risks to Children
    Dr. McCullough states that hundreds of children have died following COVID vaccination and emphasizes that any vaccine-associated child death is unacceptable.
    00:13:12 – 00:14:13 — No Country Has Removed the Vaccines
    He notes that no country has pulled COVID-19 vaccines from the market, even with political shifts in the U.S.
    00:14:13 – 00:15:29 — Engineered Spike Protein and Persistence
    McCullough explains that:
    • U.S. intelligence agencies agree the virus was engineered,
    • the spike protein docks with human ACE2 and TMPRSS2 receptors, and
    • Dr. Bruce Patterson has shown S1 fragments can persist for at least a year and a half after natural infection.

    Summary
    In this revealing Pediatric Perspectives episode, Dr. Paul speaks with Dr. Peter McCullough about the lingering medical and policy consequences of COVID-19. Dr. McCullough discusses the absence of leadership in academic medicine, the development of his early outpatient treatment protocol, and its associated outcomes.

    ​Reclaiming Authentic Motherhood Through Holistic Pediatric Care

    holistic pediatric care strategies, motherhood makeover book insights, reducing stress for modern parents, intuition based parenting guidance, natural resilience building for children
    ​In this powerful episode of Pediatric Perspectives, Dr. Paul sits down with holistic pediatrician and author Dr. Carissa Stanton, M.D., to explore the pressures facing modern parents and the transformative path she took from conventional pediatrics to a fully holistic approach. Drawing from her personal journey, her clinical experience, and her book Motherhood Makeover, Dr. Stanton offers grounded, practical guidance for families overwhelmed by today’s fast-paced, fear-driven culture.
    ​A Journey Back to Holistic Wisdom
    Dr. Stanton entered pediatrics determined to protect the most vulnerable—children. Although she excelled academically and practiced for 15 years in a traditional insurance-based pediatric environment, she found the system fundamentally incompatible with genuine preventative care. Her turning point came during an integrative medicine rotation in residency and later in 2020, when she opened her own direct primary care practice. Free from insurance restrictions, she now practices at the pace and depth families truly need.
