To prevent disease and medical mistakes, treatments need to be consistently reassessed for safety in humans. Recent data keeps stressing to the medical community that many treatments need to be reduced for our overall health.
Here are a few noteworthy treatments and thoughts to pay attention to:
1) C - sections - avoid them when possible. They increase the risk of infantile dysbiosis (gut flora dysfunction) and many diseases.
2) CT scans - avoid them when possible. Increased risk of all cancers in children with every CT scan performed.
3) Antibiotics - Only when absolutely necessary. Every antibiotic used increases the risk of autoimmune disease and other allergic diseases.
4) Formula feeding - Avoid if possible. Breastfeeding offers a litany of benefits over cows milk based formulas.
5) Antacids - prolonged use increases the risk of allergy and infection.
6) NSAID's - (like ibuprofen) chronic use for pain is associated with GI bleeding.
7) Acetaminophen - reduce it's use overall. Affects detoxification pathways.
8) Corrective measures for "pigeon toes" or "duck feet" - avoid.
9) Corrective measures for umbilical hernias before age 5 years old - avoid.
10) Ear tubes - one must try a dairy free diet to prove that the chronic middle ear fluid is not dairy related.
Less treatment is often best,

| Timeline | |
When I think about health and then the decline in health, I think of the functional medicine approach to pinpointing the onset of a disease pattern. They call it the timeline assessment.
Most every acquired human disease has an onset and that onset is triggered by an external event. That event can be psychological stress, infection, chemical overload, and so on. That event triggers a cascade of events in the genome via the epigenome which then becomes a chemical shift in the body that produces the symptoms that we call disease.
If we understand this principle, then every one of us should look at our life and the lives of our children with a timeline approach. When did a disease start and what immediately preceded the event? Is there a psychological wound that has not been dealt with? Did an infection precede that illness?
All of these ifs' can lead to cause and then cure. This is our ultimate goal.
The next time you approach a disease, approach it on a timeline. Linear, Dr. M
