A critical look at measles, vaccines, and truth beyond fear
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.
Vaccine Limitations and Failures
The doctors address myths surrounding the measles vaccine. Dr. Palevsky explains that vaccination does not guarantee immunity—2–10% of children fail to produce antibodies, some develop non-protective antibodies, and even effective antibodies may fade within months. Dr. Paul adds that natural infection provides lifelong immunity, while vaccine-induced immunity wanes, increasing susceptibility to outbreaks as naturally immune generations pass on.
Risks of Shedding and Immunocompromised Families
Dr. Palevsky notes that the live measles virus in the MMR vaccine can remain in nasal passages for 30–100 days, raising concerns for immunocompromised individuals. Dr. Paul highlights that vaccinating a child in such households may actually increase risk of exposure for vulnerable family members.
The Texas Case: With Measles or From Measles?
They discuss the tragic death of a six-year-old from a Mennonite community in Texas. Dr. Palevsky stresses the difference between dying with measles and dying from measles, noting that full medical records are still under review. He points out that medical errors and misattribution of cause of death, seen also during COVID, can distort public perception.
Clinical Care on the Ground
Dr. Paul references an article in Children’s Health Defense describing Dr. Ben Edwards’ care for over 70 patients with measles in Texas. Dr. Edwards used cod liver oil for vitamin A and supportive treatments like budesonide for respiratory support. Dr. Palevsky confirmed reports of children improving within 24 hours of vitamin A, while also noting an unusual prevalence of respiratory symptoms in these cases.
This episode of With the Wind offers clarity and reassurance in a time of fear and confusion. Dr. Paul and Dr. Palevsky remind us that measles, while serious in rare cases, is not the terrifying disease it is often portrayed to be. They call for honesty, historical perspective, and a renewed trust in natural immunity.

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.
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Today
The Act established the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to provide no-fault financial support for those harmed by vaccines. Theresa notes that the program originally worked well but has been weakened over time. Today, most compensation is awarded to adults rather than children, making it harder for families to receive justice for vaccine injuries in younger populations.
NVIC’s Role in Education and Advocacy
Theresa shares how the NVIC provides vital tools for parents, such as the NVIC Advocacy Portal, which helps citizens stay informed about legislative changes in their states. The organization also offers resources like state vaccine law guides, frequently asked questions, and updates through the NVIC newsletter.
Public Awareness and the Power of Data
They also discuss the Children’s Health Defense Zogby Poll, which found that almost two-thirds of Americans believe parents should have the right to sue vaccine manufacturers if their child is injured. This insight underscores growing public concern over accountability in vaccine policy.
This episode is an essential listen for anyone seeking to understand the balance between public health policy and individual rights. Whether you are new to the topic or well-versed in vaccine legislation, Theresa’s insights will give you the tools and perspective needed to navigate this complex landscape.

Unpacking the Evidence, the Risks, and the Awakening of Informed Parents
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. “Every single vaccine that you inject causes harm... Injecting poison into your body causes harm, and none of them are necessary.” — Sherri Tenpenny, M.D.
The Emotional and Cultural Divide
Dr. Tenpenny discusses how vaccine decisions often create tension in families and even relationships. She shares that some of the biggest challenges arise when one parent is informed and cautious while the other fully trusts the medical system. Her advice? Talk about vaccine values before marriage. This preemptive step can avoid conflict and protect your children from being caught in the middle of high-stakes medical choices.
Scientific Revelations and Real-World Observations
Dr. Paul and Dr. Tenpenny explore findings from recent peer-reviewed research, including Dr. Paul’s groundbreaking study, which showed significantly better health outcomes in unvaccinated children. Together, they discuss how the COVID-19 lockdowns inadvertently created a natural control group—many children remained unvaccinated during this time, and their exceptional health outcomes are now drawing attention.
From lowered IQ and autoimmune conditions to the alarming rise in autism and ADHD, the health consequences of the growing vaccine schedule are discussed candidly. One standout statistic? Children with 11 or more office visits were found to be 4.4 times more likely to be diagnosed with autism—a powerful data point that demands further investigation.
A New Vision for Public Health
Instead of defining public health by vaccine compliance, Dr. Tenpenny proposes a more meaningful standard—vibrant, thriving children who are not dependent on pharmaceuticals. Her goal is to shift public perception away from reactive medicine and toward proactive, toxin-free living.
Both Dr. Tenpenny and Dr. Paul agree that without a reevaluation of pediatric vaccine policy, any efforts to improve public health will fall short. They advocate for continued education, spiritual grounding, and above all, trusting parental instinct.
Resources for Parents

Or Subscribe to Against the Wind - Podcast in other podcatchers 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 healing1.
Challenging the Vaccine Narrative
Early in his career, Dr. Brownstein questioned the need for the chickenpox vaccine, recognizing that natural infection provided lifelong immunity. He found little room for critical thinking or open dialogue in mainstream medicine, especially around vaccines. This realization fueled his commitment to offering informed consent and empowering parents to make the best decisions for their families1.
A Holistic Viral Protocol
For over 25 years, Dr. Brownstein’s clinic has used a protocol of high-dose vitamins A, C, D, and iodine at the onset of illness, along with nebulized hydrogen peroxide for respiratory symptoms. These strategies support the body’s natural immune defenses and have resulted in extremely low hospitalization rates for flu and COVID-19 among his patients—including children. During the pandemic, his clinic’s outcomes stood in stark contrast to national trends, with very few hospitalizations and deaths, even among high-risk patients1.
Supporting Natural Immunity
Dr. Brownstein emphasizes the difference between the innate and adaptive immune systems. While vaccines target the adaptive (antibody-based) system, they often bypass the innate immune system—the body’s first line of defense. He argues that supporting the innate immune system through nutrition, lifestyle, and early intervention leads to more robust, long-term health, particularly in children1.
Advocacy and Resilience
Despite facing regulatory scrutiny and professional risk for his holistic approach, Dr. Brownstein remains steadfast in his commitment to patient education and informed choice. He encourages parents to research vaccine risks and benefits, seek practitioners who respect their choices, and focus on building their children’s natural immunity through healthy habits and targeted supplementation1.
Dr. Brownstein’s story is a powerful reminder that parents have options beyond the conventional model. By prioritizing education, critical thinking, and natural immune support, families can navigate virus season with confidence and resilience. The key takeaway: empower yourself with information, question mainstream recommendations, and support your child’s natural immunity for better health outcomes.

Or Subscribe to Against the Wind - Podcast in other podcatchers 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.
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.
A Collapsing Paradigm
Dr. Paul and Dr. Makis discuss the shortcomings of the current oncology model — a system heavily reliant on chemotherapy and radiation with limited success in reversing the trend of rising cancer deaths. “We have made zero progress,” Dr. Makis says bluntly. “We don’t talk about why cancer happens or what causes it.”
They also examine how gene therapies, mRNA technology, and the lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) used in COVID-19 vaccines may play a role in this crisis. The conversation points to a disturbing possibility: that these technologies may be interfering with tumor suppressor genes and immune surveillance mechanisms, unleashing uncontrolled cellular proliferation.
What the Data Suggests
Dr. Makis highlights a spike in cancers following booster campaigns and discusses real-world cases of aggressive cancers developing within weeks of mRNA injections. He also explores the concept of vaccine shedding, breast milk contamination, and how spike proteins may persist and bioaccumulate in vital organs.
The episode raises an urgent question: Are we seeing the effects of an untested genetic intervention on a global scale? And if so, why is the mainstream medical community silent?
A Call for Truth and Transparency
Both doctors emphasize the importance of having honest conversations about the root causes of chronic illness, especially cancer. “If we don’t talk about it, this collapse of humanity will just continue,” Dr. Makis warns.
This powerful conversation between Dr. Paul and Dr. Makis opens the door to a broader, long-overdue dialogue about cancer, medical transparency, and the consequences of uncritical acceptance of new pharmaceutical technologies. For parents, practitioners, and anyone concerned about long-term health, this episode offers a compelling case for asking hard questions and demanding real answers.

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. “It’s not healthcare anymore—it’s a pharmaceutical management system.”
This episode explores how those who question the system—from vaccine policy to chronic disease management—face professional ostracization. Dr. Stoller shares candidly about how raising concerns gets doctors “shut down.”
Environmental and Nutritional Roots of Disease
While medicine often targets symptoms, Dr. Stoller believes the epidemic of modern disease stems from environmental and nutritional causes. One factor he highlights is seed oils, now common in processed foods, which he suspects are linked to rising illness rates in children.
He challenges listeners to think critically about everyday exposures and what we accept as “normal” in children’s health today.
Advocacy in the Face of Resistance
Dr. Stoller’s willingness to question mainstream protocols has come at a cost—but it has also empowered him to share vital truths. His conversation with Dr. Paul is not just about medicine—it’s about integrity, informed questioning, and the importance of speaking out even when it’s unpopular.
Dr. Ken Stoller brings a bold and necessary voice to this discussion on the future of healthcare. His critique of institutional medicine challenges us to dig deeper, ask questions, and seek care that truly addresses the root causes of illness.

Or Subscribe to Against the Wind - Podcast in other podcatchers Why Preconception and Early Pregnancy Nutrition Matter More Than Ever
In this episode of With the Wind, Dr. Paul Thomas welcomes OB-GYN and wellness advocate Dr. Scott Hankinson for a timely discussion on maternal nutrition, with a focus on preconception and early pregnancy. This episode is part of our Pediatric Perspectives series, which takes a closer look at how everyday decisions—like diet and lifestyle—can impact generations of health. From vitamin D to gut health, Dr. Hankinson outlines how simple nutritional practices can set moms and babies on a path toward lifelong wellness.
Share with your Friends & Family
Laying the Foundation: Why Nutrition Before and During Pregnancy Matters
Dr. Hankinson opens the conversation with a powerful message: “We are not just influencing one life—we’re potentially shaping the health of two or three generations at once.” As an OB-GYN with a passion for prevention, Dr. Hankinson discusses how diet, vitamin levels, and even gut bacteria can affect not just fertility and pregnancy, but also the long-term health of children and grandchildren.
One of the central concepts explored in this episode is epigenetics, the study of how our behaviors and environment can affect how our genes are expressed. Nutritional choices made during preconception and pregnancy can turn genes on or off—either promoting resilience or increasing vulnerability to chronic disease.
Happy Bugs and the Microbiome
To help families introduce these ideas to their children, Dr. Hankinson co-authored a children’s book called Happy Bugs, which explains the importance of gut health in a fun, accessible way. In the episode, he and Dr. Paul discuss how the gut microbiome influences everything from digestion to immunity—and why both children and expecting moms should eat fiber-rich, whole foods.
Dr. Hankinson also encourages families to check out his educational content at Whole Foods Health on YouTube, where he shares nutrition tips specifically tailored for moms-to-be.
Questioning Vaccine Protocols in Pregnancy
Dr. Hankinson and Dr. Paul take time to discuss the current CDC vaccine schedule for pregnancy, which recommends four vaccines: Tdap, flu, RSV, and COVID. Dr. Hankinson raises critical questions about the lack of pre-licensure safety data for many of these shots and calls for true informed consent. He emphasizes that moms must be given the full picture—including risks and benefits—before agreeing to medical interventions during pregnancy.
Conclusion: Start with Nutrition, Ask Questions, and Trust Yourself
This episode is a wake-up call and a call to action. Whether you’re planning for pregnancy, currently expecting, or guiding others on their journey to parenthood, Dr. Hankinson’s advice is clear: start with nutrition, prioritize gut health, and be willing to question medical norms. Your decisions today can shape a legacy of health for generations to come.

When it comes to vaccines, many parents feel pressured by schools, doctors, and even legislation into believing they have no choice. But the truth is, in many states, parents have the right to decline vaccinations for their children. In this episode of With the Wind, Dr. Paul Thomas sits down with Theresa Wrangham, executive director of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), to discuss the reality of vaccine mandates, the importance of informed consent, and how parents can navigate state laws to make the best decision for their families.
What Is the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC)?
Founded over 40 years ago, the NVIC was created by parents who witnessed vaccine injuries firsthand. The organization has since become a leading resource for parents seeking information on vaccine exemptions, school mandates, and state-specific laws. Theresa Wrangham shares the history of NVIC and how its mission has remained steadfast: to protect parental rights and medical freedom.
Share with your Friends & Family
Are Vaccines Truly Mandatory for School Attendance?
One of the biggest misconceptions among parents is that all childhood vaccines are required for school enrollment. In reality, vaccine mandates vary by state, and many states allow medical, religious, and philosophical exemptions.
"The childhood vaccine schedule is a recommendation by the CDC—not a requirement. It’s up to the states to determine which vaccines are mandatory."
Theresa explains how schools often mislead parents by sending letters that make it seem like their child must be vaccinated or they won’t be allowed to attend. However, these letters frequently omit information about exemptions that parents are legally entitled to.

The discussion concludes with a powerful reminder that parents—not doctors, schools, or the government—should have the final say when it comes to their child’s medical decisions.
By educating themselves on their rights and seeking reliable information, parents can confidently make the best decisions for their children without fear or coercion.
