Dr. Paul Thomas (retired) - With the Wind with Dr. Paul Show 181: Pediatric Perspectives: Addressing Autism with James Neuenschwander M.D
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 toxicities1.
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.
Struggles and Turning Points:
Dr. Neuenschwander discusses how the definition of “success” in autism care has evolved. While a minority of cases are likely genetic, most children benefit from interventions that address inflammation, gut health, and detoxification. He notes that early intervention can help up to 30% of children become highly functional, while most others experience meaningful improvements in daily life and regulation.

He notes that early intervention can help up to 30% of children become highly functional, while most others experience meaningful improvements in daily life and regulation.
Key Contributions and Insights:
- Prevention:
- Maternal health before and during pregnancy is critical. Dr. Neuenschwander recommends preconception detoxification, optimal nutrition (methylated B vitamins, folate, iodine, vitamin D), and a non-inflammatory, toxin-free environment.
- He and Dr. Paul caution against unnecessary immune activation during pregnancy—including certain vaccinations—due to insufficient long-term neurodevelopmental safety data.
- Treatment:
- The foundation is a clean, whole-food diet: gluten-free, casein-free, soy-free, and corn-free, with an emphasis on organic produce to reduce pesticide exposure.
- Addressing gut health, correcting nutrient deficiencies (especially cerebral folate and methyl B12), and reducing inflammation are essential steps.
- Detoxification and careful avoidance of additional toxins—including a cautious approach to vaccination in children already on the spectrum—are discussed, with the importance of individualized, practitioner-guided care.
- Resources:
- Dr. Neuenschwander directs families to the MAPS clinician directory to find qualified practitioners experienced in biomedical autism care.
“People have recovered their children simply by feeding them real whole foods that they make themselves, and getting kids involved with that process can make such a huge difference.”
— Dr. James Neuenschwander
Dr. Paul and Dr. Neuenschwander deliver a comprehensive, science-based discussion on both the prevention and treatment of autism. Their approach—rooted in clinical experience and compassion—offers practical steps and renewed hope for families. Whether you are a parent, practitioner, or advocate, the insights shared here can help you make informed, empowered decisions for children’s health.

How One Holistic Doctor’s Journey Is Changing the Conversation on Childhood Viral Illness and Immunity
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.

Holistically Treating Viruses
Vaccines have become the “savior” of public health — thought to be the principal means of treating and preventing disease. So when viral illnesses are on the rise, the shots are heavily promoted and other therapies are ignored.
But David Brownstein, M.D. has seen great success in his practice with the use of cheap and readily-accessible, alternative options. He joins “Pediatric PersFV,pectives” to share some of these substitutes that exist for parents and individuals who prefer to opt out of immunizations.
David Brownstein, M.D. grew up under conventional standards of living and struggled with chronic illness. He then shifted over to a more natural approach, months into practicing medicine, after witnessing his father’s health breakthrough. Dr. Brownstein now works with his patients to heal and treat root causes of disease.

Dr. Paul and Dr. Makis Explore the Alarming Rise in Aggressive Cancers and What May Be Driving It
In this eye-opening episode of With the Wind: SCIENCE Revealed, Dr. Paul Thomas sits down with Dr. William Makis, M.D., a Canadian physician trained in nuclear medicine, radiology, and oncology, to confront one of the most unsettling trends in modern medicine: the explosion of fast-acting, aggressive cancers in the wake of COVID-19 vaccine rollouts. Together, they unpack the complex relationship between immune dysfunction, vaccine technologies, and the evolving face of cancer.
An Oncologist's Warning
Dr. Makis has observed something deeply troubling: a dramatic rise in what he calls “turbo cancers.” These are aggressive cancers that develop and spread with shocking speed, often bypassing early-stage detection and presenting as advanced, untreatable disease. Many of these cases, he notes, involve young individuals who previously had no history or genetic predisposition to cancer.

Many of these cases, he notes, involve young individuals who previously had no history or genetic predisposition to cancer.
As a frontline physician in Canada, Dr. Makis was alarmed by the resistance of the medical establishment to acknowledge these cases. “In Canada, we have censorship, we have tyranny,” he states. “Doctors are not allowed to speak the truth.” His own experience includes being censored for raising concerns about the medical response to COVID-19 and the consequences of vaccine mandates.

How one physician took great personal risk to expose what’s wrong with modern medicine
In this compelling episode of With the Wind, Dr. Paul Thomas is joined by Dr. Ken Stoller, a pediatrician who has taken great personal and professional risk to speak out against the failures of allopathic medicine. Drawing on decades of experience and hard-won insights, Dr. Stoller critiques a system that manages disease with drugs while ignoring the root causes of chronic illness. His journey—and his courage—offers a sobering yet empowering message to parents and practitioners alike.
Challenging the Medical Status Quo
According to Dr. Stoller, the modern medical model no longer serves the purpose of healing. Instead, it has become what he calls a “pharmaceutical management system.” Doctors are often trained to follow protocols without question—an approach that, he argues, leaves patients increasingly sick and dependent.
