How A Fever Is A Wonderful Thing (HHF Podcast #11)I welcome Dr. Paul Thomas to the show. Dr. Paul is a best selling author & holistic pediatrician with a huge practice. Dr. Paul is committed to helping parents make informed and proactive decisions about their children’s health and well-being.
Listener’s of the episode 10 with Dr. William Parker learned about the major risks that come with using Tylenol and acetaminophen, so Dr. Paul and I discuss how and when to treat a fever without acetaminophen. Plus, we talk about navigating a doctor’s visit or trip to the ER where the standard of treatment is to reflexively give acetaminophen.
Dr. Paul and I also discuss flu shots and how the scary statistics we see on the news are quite misleading. We finish the podcast by discussing his new book, The Addiction Spectrum. We pay particular attention to how our children’s addiction to phones and screens are messing up their brains

They already teamed up on a book that took a middle road on the vaccine debate. 

Now Dr. Paul Thomas and Ashland journalist Jennifer Margulis explore addiction in a new book, The Addiction Spectrum: A Compassionate, Holistic Approach to Recovery. 
​
The book explores the mechanisms of addiction and how they can be countered.  The pleasure the brain gets from addictive substances is immense, and for most people it does not work to "just say no." 
The co-authors spend an hour in the studio helping us better understand the components of addiction and how they can be defeated. 

30 experts explore the new face of addiction and what we can do to recover and end the suffering. These informative presentations will provide a 360 degree view of the current issues we all face and provide invaluable insights about the path to recovery. This comprehensive summit is the first of its kind to address the worldwide epidemic. Please join us as the brightest minds provide the latest science, research, and approaches to recovery.
