"The Microflora and Intestinal Diseases Probiotic research studies have been published in a wide variety of scientific journals including those focusing on pediatrics, gastrointestinal health, pharmaceuticals and nutrition. Probiotic research involves an unusually wide range of disciplines: pediatrics, gastroenterology, nutrition, immunology and microbiology. This is what makes this new area of health so fascinating—it affects your entire body at every stage of life! Some of the most promising areas of research on probiotics relates to inflammatory intestinal disorders." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Department of pediatrics, Children's Hospital and University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, Colorado 80262, USA. pediatrics. 2004 Sep;114(3):793-804. OBJECTIVE: The issue of thimerosal-containing vaccines as a possible cause of autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) has been a controversial topic since 1999. Although most practitioners are familiar with the controversy, many are not familiar with the type or quality of evidence in published articles that have addressed this issue." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Furthermore, in the September 2004 issue of pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of pediatrics, a study titled "Aggression, Mania, and Hypomania Induction Associated With Atomoxetine," was published which revealed that 33 percent of the patients reviewed exhibited extreme irritability, aggression, mania or hypomania.21 These are the same adverse reactions listed for most, if not all, of the antidepressants that landed on the "black box" list." - Kelly Patricia O'Meara, Psyched Out: How Psychiatry Sells Mental Illness and Pushes Pills That Kill (Get the book.)

"In America we focus on battling diseases once they occur," says Greg, 46, who completed residencies in both internal medicine and pediatrics at the University of Minnesota, holds a divinity degree from Harvard, and is one of the world's leading experts on Kampo, Japan's traditional herbal medicine. "However, in traditional Asian thought, the highest, most honored form of medicine was prevention, and the lowest was treatment. Today in Japan, the focus is on avoiding disease in the first place. There are massive national and local efforts underway to prevent diabetes and heart disease." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Probiotic research involves an unusually wide range of disciplines: pediatrics, gastroenterology, nutrition, immunology and microbiology. This is what makes this new area of health so fascinating—it affects your entire body at every stage of life! Some of the most promising areas of research on probiotics relates to inflammatory intestinal disorders. These diseases affect many and no cure has yet been found. Why are probiotics so promising in the field of intestinal health? Consider the following. Intestinal microbes outnumber cells in the human body 10-fold." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"In a study reported in the November 2005 issue of pediatrics, based on data involving 950 children in a 1999-2000 national health survey, researchers found that among roughly 177,000 Americans under age 20, both Type-l and Type-2 have increased. About 25 percent of the diabetic children now have Type-2, compared with just 4 percent ten years ago. Approximately 7 percent of the children in the study were pre-diabetic—that translates to 2 million children." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"The marketers said their "target" was to get the article published in the respected medical journal pediatrics. In its status report on another proposed article, the firm's staff wrote, "Draft 1 being reviewed internally (some rewriting being done). Will send to author and P-D by 11/17." Parke-Davis executives were pleased with the work of Medical Education Systems and the other ghostwriting firms it employed. As article after article was published, the drug company purchased thousands of reprints and delivered boxes of them to Franklin and the other medical liaisons." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"He's also a professor of pediatrics at Mount Sinai. Dr. Landrigan obtained his medical degree from the Harvard Medical School in 1967. He has served as a commissioned officer in the United States Public Health Service, and as an Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer and then as a Medical Epidemiologist with the CDC in Atlanta. While at the CDC, Dr. Landrigan served for one year as a field epidemiologist in El Salvador and for another year in northern Nigeria. From 1979 to 1985, he directed the U.S." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Rosen agreed: "The overuse of antibiotics has created many problems, not just in pediatrics, but in medicine in general. Kids are developing resistance to many of the common antibiotics. In some cases, our first-line treatments don't work in 50, 60 percent of the kids. So then we're forced to use stronger and stronger antibiotics. The medicines themselves have a lot of side effects and adverse effects, which create other problems in the kids, sometimes worse than the infection they came in with." And kids are just coming into excessive contact with antibiotics at the doctor's office." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Jeffrey Boscamp, the chairman of pediatrics at Hackensack University Medical Center, proposed the "dirty theory"—also known as the "hygiene hypothesis"—as another explanation for the sharp rise in childhood allergies we've seen over the last few decades. According to this theory, children today are too sheltered from infectious agents in their environment. The result? Their immune systems don't have the necessary stimuli to develop properly. "Parents," Dr. Boscamp said, "have always wanted to create a really sterile environment for their kids." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Jeffrey Boscamp, the chairman of pediatrics at Hackensack University Medical Center, the issue is incredibly simple. The question of what exactly thimerosal does to children isn't even relevant, he said. "If it doesn't need to be there, then it shouldn't be there—the discussion doesn't need to go further than that. People can argue forever about whether or not thimerosal causes a problem, but still to me, it's a very simple thing—if there's any uncertainty whatsoever, and you have a choice between a preservative-free vaccine versus a vaccine with preservatives, why would you take the risk?" - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Stefano Guandalini, Department of pediatrics, University of Chicago, writes, "A significant number of children with cow's milk protein intolerance develop soy protein intolerance when soy milk is used in dietary management." Interestingly enough, researchers recently detected and identified a soy protein component that cross reacts with caseins from cow's milk. Cross reactions occur when foods are chemically related to each other. Matthias Besler of Hamburg, Germany, and an international team of allergy specialists report on the website www.allergens." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Collip, MD, of the Department of pediatrics at the Nassau County Medical Center, undertook a rigorous scientific study with 76 young patients aged 2-16 years. Without going into specific details of this study, it was found children taking 200 mg of Vitamin B6 daily experienced less frequent asthma attacks, less wheezing, less tightness in the chest and less breathing difficulties. As a result of taking Vitamin B6 less medication was also necessary. The study concluded that pyridoxine B6 therapy may be useful in reducing the severity of asthma, in children in particular." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"In 2004 a panel of thirteen noted researchers in fields ranging from kinesiology to pediatrics conducted a massive review of more than 850 studies about the effects of physical activity on school-age children. Most of the studies measured the effects of thirty to forty-five minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity three to five days a week.

"Pietropaolo, who began the work while an associate professor of pediatrics, medicine, and immunology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, looked at both levels of islet cell antibodies and newer biochemical markers of autoantibodies in 1,484 first-degree relatives of people with type 1 diabetes. Those who tested positive for GAD65 and IA-2 autoantibodies had a 14 percent risk of developing type 1 diabetes after 10 years. However, those who displayed those two autoantibodies along with islet cell antibodies had an 80 percent risk of developing the disease after just 6.7 years." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"A 1990 study in the journal pediatrics found that there were clear and consistent associations between eczema and the diversity of a child's diet during the first four months of life. The more variety of solid foods that a mother introduced to her baby before the age of four months old, the greater were the odds of the baby developing atopic eczema." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"Carey, professor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania, wrote in 2002, "The assumption that the ADHD symptoms arise from cerebral malfunction has not been supported even after extensive investigations." Grandma was the first to notice. She was sliding the new school picture of her ten-year-old grandson into a frame, covering up the photo that had marked the year before.

"She was sitting in her small office near Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids, where she is director of pediatrics. Her desk was the cluttered one of a busy pediatrician. Beside the piles of medical journals and papers were frames holding photos of her own three children. Dr. Collins had moved to Iowa from a rural part of Kansas sixteen years before. At that time, she said, about one of every ten of her young patients was taking prescription stimulants like Ritalin for attention disorders. "Now, if I have children just on Ritalin, I consider it a happy day," she said.
