WHAT IS GUT DYSBIOSIS?

fungal mycelia Gut dysbiosis — this topic is the motherlode. It’s one of the two core (in my opinion) reasons for the explosion of chronic childhood illnesses we see today.

Gut Dysbiosis: A Common Link Among the Epidemic of Children’s Chronic Illnesses

First, let’s discuss the numbers behind this epidemic: How many kids did you know when you were growing up that had autism, ADHD, acid reflux, allergies, asthma, developmental delays and/or mental health issues? [Read more…]

FAILURE TO THRIVE

“Failure to thrive” is when your child’s weight percentile falls to the 3^rd percentile or below or when it crosses 2 or more major percentile curves. When either of these (or both, as in the case of my older son) happens, it’s an indication that the child is not growing as he or she should be.

I could scream every time someone tells me that I’m not that big or my husband’s not that big, so my sons’ failure to thrive is something I shouldn’t worry about. Or how about when I’m told to stop comparing my kids to fat American kids? [Read more…]

IS IT FATIGUE OR MITOCHONDRIAL DYSFUNCTION?

mitochondrion Because of my son’s failure to thrive, our pediatrician sent us to see Vicki Kobliner, a holistic nutritionist, who’s also on the board of Epidemic Answers with me.

Given that Crane Man has constant fatigue and stomach pain, poor growth, mild sensory issues and developmental delays, Vicki suggested having preliminary tests for mitochondrial dysfunction done. [Read more…]
