“An Unfortunate Coincidence” That Was Anything But Coincidental
Julie Obradovic’s new book, An Unfortunate Coincidence: A Mother’s Life inside the Autism Controversy, comes out tomorrow. I’ve been looking forward to this one ever since I heard that Julie was writing it, and I’m happy to say it doesn’t disappoint.

What do Sugar, Trans Fat, and Vaccines Have in Common? Industry and Government Collusion Undermining Your Health
I grew up in the 1960s, inundated by commercials for margarines made from hydrogenated vegetable oils that “promised” those margarines would keep my cholesterol levels low and protect me from heart disease. Yet in 2015, nearly 50 years later, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence of the harm they do, especially to the circulatory system and the heart, the Food and Drug Administration announced that artificial trans fats of the very sort that made up a good percentage of those margarines were no longer “generally recognized as safe,” and food manufacturers would have three years to remove these substances from their products altogether.

Scientific Proof: Vaccines DO Cause Autism
This is it: The Changepoint. Can you feel it? The last 30 years have led inexorably to this moment when, for the first time in history, all the candidates remaining in the race for the presidency of the United States feel the need to clarify their stance on the use of vaccines – repeatedly and conflictingly. How did we get to the point where vaccines have become such a highly charged, controversial issue? After all, if vaccines are truly as safe as “they” say they are, wouldn’t anyone want a “get out of sickness free” card?

The Vaccine-Friendly Plan: A New Book that Will Mean Healthier Kids
If you listen to the mainstream media, you might be under the impression that United States parents are sharply divided between those who believe all children should be vaccinated according the CDC-recommended schedule and those who believe no children should receive any vaccine ever -- and that virtually all pediatricians are firmly in the first camp.

Feed Your Children Well: “The Dirt Cure” by Dr. Maya Shetreat-Klein
One doesn’t have to look far to notice that, when it comes to the health of either people or the planet, food is Topic #1 these days. Whether the goal is reversing obesity, diabetes, depression, heart disease, or any combination of the “new” childhood epidemics of chronic illness, including asthma, ADHD, autism, and allergies – especially the anaphylactic food allergies that are ubiquitous nowadays – everyone seems to be seeking the magic formula that will result in true health and wellness.

It Can Happen to You: Good Parents Make Mistakes — Sometimes Horrible Ones
Part of this trend is laudable. Many of us didn’t feel that as children we received the best possible preparation for life, which would include a generous amount of parental loving support to help us over the difficult patches in life.

New York City, Home of the Modern Religious Inquisition
New York City. If you don’t live under a rock or in a remote island culture, those three words probably conjure up an image: metropolitan, densely populated, highly diverse, culturally rich, and liberal to a fault – except for Wall Street, of course. Those are the sorts of impressions people tend to have when they think of New York City. And they are all correct, which is why I have made New York my home for the past 29 years.

Justice for Ezekiel?
Last Tuesday, April 26, was a red-letter day for the TMR community. Many health “revolutionaries,” myself included, were thrilled to be able to attend a United Nations conference where Dr. Martha Herbert, Kevin Barry (filling in for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. who was absent due to a family emergency), and Dr. Leonardo Trasande spoke about the deleterious effects of numerous environmental intoxicants, including those that are injected, on developing brains, and NYU Professor of Law Mary Holland spoke about the human rights implications of compulsory vaccine programs and the need for truly informed consent.

Review of the Film “Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe”
Practically from the opening scene, the film Vaxxed grabs our attention and doesn’t let go until it has elicited every ounce of empathy and outrage the human heart is capable of. Back in 2013, William Thompson, PhD, a senior scientist at the CDC was so wracked with guilt about his participation in a CDC study on the timing of the MMR vaccine and autism that he finally picked up the phone and called Brian Hooker, PhD, biologist and autism dad, to tell him where to look for the evidence of CDC deception. Vaxxed is the story of what followed, revealing evidence of collusion, corruption, and fraud at the very agency…

Changing Media Perception: “Anti-Vaxxers Are [Fill in the Blank]”
Originally published March 26, 2016, at www.thinkingmomsrevolution.com Recent events have prompted some startlingly contradictory emotions in me. On the one hand, a day I’ve long been dreading appears to have finally arrived, and on the other hand, a day I have been awaiting with eager anticipation may also have arrived – and ironically both are due to the pharmaceutical public relations machine. The day I’ve been dreading is the day that the PR machine finally figured out that whenever they “go negative” with people who question either the safety of one vaccine, all vaccines, or the cumulative effect of the CDC recommended schedule as a whole, they lose by it. In…
