    With the Wind with Dr. Paul — Show 205: Pediatric Perspectives: Pregnancy Principles for Optimal Fertility with Ben Lynch, DNM

    shows-by-with-the-wind-ndash-science-revealed-with-paul-thomas-md

    What every parent planning a pregnancy should know about folic acid, folate, and the prenatal environment that shapes a child's neurodevelopment.

    Show 205 Pediatric Perspectives cover: Dr. Paul Thomas and Ben Lynch, DNM with pregnancy test and ultrasound backdrop.

    I'm joined today by Dr. Ben Lynch, DNM — one of the most knowledgeable experts I know on methylation pathways, biochemistry, and how prenatal nutrition shapes a child's lifelong health. Dr. Lynch is the author of Dirty Genes and founder of Seeking Health, and over the years he has become one of the physicians I turn to most for insight on these critical early developmental windows. In this episode, we go deep on a topic that doesn't get nearly enough attention in conventional obstetrics: the difference between synthetic folic acid and the natural folate forms that developing babies actually need — and what happens when we get it wrong.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why folic acid is not the same as folate — and why that distinction matters profoundly in pregnancy
    • How synthetic folic acid can block natural folate from reaching the developing brain
    • The connection between folic acid food fortification and rising autism rates
    • Sperm health, chromosomal integrity, and the 90-day fertility preparation window
    • Practical guidance on prenatal nutrition, real food, and folate-based supplement choices
    • Why acetaminophen during pregnancy depletes glutathione in both mother and baby
    • How vaccine adjuvants interact with the immune tolerance state of pregnancy

    In this episode of Pediatric Perspectives, I'm joined by Michelle Perro, M.D. — integrative pediatrician, environmental medicine specialist, and CEO and founder of GMO Science — for a detailed look at how genetically modified organisms have reshaped the American food supply and what families can do to protect themselves. Dr. Perro began researching the intersection of GMOs, pesticides, and children's health in the early 2000s, and this conversation reflects more than two decades of that clinical work.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • The history of GMO science and the suppression of early research showing harm to animal health
    • How genetic modification differs from traditional hybridization — and which crops are most affected
    • Why most Americans still don't know what's in their food, and what the 2016 Dark Act did to labeling
    • Apeel produce coatings, microbiome disruption, and the looming threats of geoengineering and mRNA vaccines in plants
    • How to shop organic, filter water, and support the body's natural detox processes
    • Dr. Perro's message of hope: grounding in nature as medicine for the whole family

    With the Wind with Dr. Paul — Show 203 — Pediatric Perspectives: Children's Health Updates with Peter McCullough, M.D.

    shows-by-with-the-wind-ndash-science-revealed-with-paul-thomas-md

    What does one of the world's most published cardiologists say when he turns his full attention to the childhood vaccine schedule — and what's actually driving the national conversation right now?

    Dr. Paul Thomas and Peter McCullough, M.D. on Pediatric Perspectives, Show 203 of With the Wind, discussing children's health updates and vaccine schedule concerns on CHD TV.

    Dr. Paul Thomas sits down with Peter McCullough, M.D. — internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist, and author of the new book Vaccines, Mythology, Ideology and Reality — for one of the most substantive children's health conversations this show has hosted. Dr. McCullough has published over a thousand peer-reviewed articles, established the first life-saving treatment protocol for SARS-CoV-2, and has spent years leading the McCullough Foundation's systematic review of the vaccination literature. This is that conversation.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Dr. McCullough's personal vaccination history — including receiving 69 vaccines over his lifetime — and how it shaped his evolving thinking on the schedule
    • The biological mechanisms of concern: how cytokines triggered by combination vaccination cross into the developing brain, and what the research shows about aluminum adjuvants
    • Autism spectrum disorder at 1 in 31 children: the causality criteria, the Hannah Poling case, and what hundreds of studies now suggest about risk
    • Vaccination during pregnancy, premature delivery, and apnea in hospitalized newborns — including a recent JAMA randomized trial
    • The latest ACIP changes under the new committee and what they actually mean for parents
    • Why a recent JAMA report found only 40% of parents plan to follow the routine schedule — and what Dr. McCullough says about that shift

    With the Wind with Dr. Paul — Show 202: Pediatric Perspectives: Weight Loss Drugs for Kids with Michelle Perro, M.D.

    shows-by-with-the-wind-ndash-science-revealed-with-paul-thomas-md

    What every parent should understand before considering GLP-1 weight loss drugs for their child — and what the evidence points to instead.

    Dr. Paul Thomas and Michelle Perro, M.D. on Pediatric Perspectives Show 202, weight loss drugs for children.

    In this episode of Pediatric Perspectives, I'm joined by integrative pediatrician Michelle Perro, M.D. — a clinician with 43 years of experience, an environmental medicine specialist, and the CEO and founder of GMO Science. Dr. Perro has spent decades studying how food, pesticides, and environmental toxicants affect children's health, and in this conversation she brings that perspective directly to bear on one of the most pressing issues in pediatrics today: childhood obesity and the growing push to treat it with GLP-1 agonist drugs.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • The scale of childhood obesity in the U.S. — and why Dr. Perro believes ultra-processed foods, GMOs, and pesticides are the primary drivers, not simply lifestyle choices
    • What GLP-1 hormones are and how GLP-1 agonist drugs work — and why they look promising on paper but raise serious questions when used in children who are still growing
    • The specific concerns Dr. Perro has identified: no long-term pediatric data, significant muscle loss, full weight rebound upon stopping, and side effects including gastroparesis, pancreatitis, and a black box warning for depression and suicidal ideation
    • Why every class of pesticide she has reviewed functions as an endocrine disruptor — and what that has to do with the obesity epidemic
    • Practical steps families can take right now, including how to shop, how to cook, and how to support children's microbiomes in ways that sustain healthy weight naturally

    With the Wind with Dr. Paul — Show 201: Pediatric Perspectives: Dangerous Realities of Modern Medicine with Suzanne Humphries, M.D.

    shows-by-with-the-wind-ndash-science-revealed-with-paul-thomas-md

    What does it actually take to manage childhood infections, support a chronically ill child, and build lasting health — without defaulting to pharmaceutical intervention?

    Dr. Paul Thomas and Suzanne Humphries, M.D. discuss foundational health, vitamin C for measles and whooping cough, dietary approaches for autism, and why lasting change starts in the kitchen — not the clinic.

    In this episode of Pediatric Perspectives, I'm joined again by Suzanne Humphries, M.D. — board-certified internist and nephrologist, co-author of Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History, and one of the most thorough medical researchers I know. Following her widely viewed appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, Dr. Humphries has spent months responding to detailed public critiques of that interview — and in this conversation, we focus on what she has always emphasized most: how to actually support health, especially in children.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • How Dr. Humphries's background in nephrology shaped her understanding of how drugs and environmental inputs affect the body
    • The "blueprint for health" — her foundational framework built on nutrition, hydration, sunlight, and community rather than pharmaceutical management
    • What she has seen work for children with chronic conditions, including autism, enlarged tonsils, and recurrent illness — and why dietary compliance has to be complete and sustained
    • How she managed measles cases during a 2019 outbreak using intravenous and oral vitamin C, including a severely ill 11-year-old
    • Her publicly available whooping cough vitamin C protocol and how it has been used by families around the world
    • Where she places her hope for meaningful change in children's health — and why it isn't in government

    shows-by-with-the-wind-ndash-science-revealed-with-paul-thomas-md

    What's driving the dramatic rise in chronic childhood illness — and what can parents do about it?

    Dr. Paul Thomas and Liz Mumper, M.D. in conversation on Pediatric Perspectives, Show 200 of With the Wind with Dr. Paul, discussing chronic childhood illness, environmental toxins, and informed decision-making for families.

    In this episode of Pediatric Perspectives, I'm joined by Liz Mumper, M.D. — a pediatrician with 45 years of clinical experience, founder of the Rimland Center for Integrative Medicine, and a leading trainer of clinicians who work with children with special needs through MAPS Medical Academy and Pediatric Special Needs. Dr. Mumper is also the author of Kids and COVID: Costly Mistakes That Must Never Happen Again. She is one of the physicians I most respect in this field, and this conversation is one I've wanted to have for a long time.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • How the landscape of pediatrics has shifted over four decades — from acute, treatable illness to pervasive chronic disease
    • The dramatic rise in autism, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, obesity, eczema, asthma, and autoimmune conditions — and the contributing factors both physicians have observed in practice
    • What parents planning to have children can do to prepare — including nutrition, toxin reduction, and key supplementation benchmarks
    • Clinical concerns about vaccine administration during pregnancy and infancy, including the aluminum load when multiple vaccines are given simultaneously
    • What Dr. Mumper observed in the unvaccinated siblings of children with vaccine-related health changes in her practice
    • Practical steps for reducing environmental toxin exposure in the home, and why acetaminophen deserves more caution than it typically receives
