I am an acupuncturist treating many fertility patients who, for one reason or another, know they have to have a c-section. What is that supplement that I can give them to research – I believe Dr. Weil mentioned that something exists that mothers can use for their newborns if they were c-section that would help with better colonization of their intestines. Do you happen to know what that may be?

Honestly, I am disappointed in his thoughts on vaccination. He thinks food and everything is contributing to autism and chronic disease but I know so many kids (these are people I actually know) who stopped talking after vaccination, or ended up with food allergies because of it. The newest data coming out shows that 50% of the participants in the original MMR trial suffered gastrointestinal damage. This data has just been released. So gut damage can actually be CAUSED by vaccination. I understand his thoughts about some diseases aren’t worth the risk, however, if children got the diseases as children they would have lifetime immunity as adults. But additionally, the fact that he PROMOTES the Gardasil vaccine discounts him in my mind. I don’t understand how anyone could think that THAT vaccine is worth the risk. Teenagers have died from that one (it is well documented, no “SIDS” they can blame it on). Whereas the risk that they would actually contract HPV (being sexually active), then that it wouldn’t pass naturally (most cases do), then that they would get cervical cancer FROM HPV, and then DIE from that cervical cancer… is so rare, but by all means, risk death via vaccine. Gardasil is even being banned in other countries. I could understand him thinking polio or meningitis is worth it (I disagree still but I would understand), but if you think Gardasil is worth it, I doubt he thinks there are ANY vaccines that “aren’t worth the risk”. 🙁 Its sad to me honestly because it shows he hasn’t really done much research on it, yet so many people follow him.

I loved this episode! Thank you, Katie! We are still working on getting to the root issue still on some health issues at our house and are currently on a pretty restrictive diet. I’m hopeful our current practitioner will help us get some pieces solved so we can just do gaps or something for gut healing and be able to eat a wide variety of nutrient dense foods and not have to be so regimented and restricted. I loved hearing that you are able to eat some grains again and not have to worry all the time about what you’re eating (since obviously stress is not good for healing). I’d love to hear more about the change in your viewpoint that you mentioned in the episode to becoming more moderate about diet and what your current thoughts are (WAPF mostly or something else?). Thanks for all your hard work – Wellness Mama is such a great resource and encouragement!
