Pylori Be Behind Your Digestive Symptoms?: An At-Home Stool Test That Goes Deeper Than Standard Testing ​🌱 H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori) is one of the most common bacterial infections in the world. Research estimates that roughly half the global population carries it in their stomach — yet most people are completely unaware. In 10–20% of cases, it can contribute to ulcers, and in rare cases, gastric cancer. ​For those who do experience symptoms, they can range from mild and easy to dismiss &mdas [...]

The massive incentives for pediatricians to vaccinate may finally be ending. We published this article in 2021: "Vaccine Practice Payment Schedules Create Perverse Incentives for Unnecessary Medical Procedures – at What Cost to Patients?"
James Lyons-Weiler, PhD and Paul Thomas, MD. This article showed my practice lost a million dollars in administrative fees when parents chose not to follow the CDC schedule.

In addition to administrative fees, doctors get bonuses for having a highly vaccinated population and can be penalized economically, loss of contracts and even lose their medical license if not following the CDC childhood schedule.

With this change, perhaps the bullying of parents by pediatricians will stop. When they are no longer incentivized to give more vaccines regardless of the data on safety being totally inadequate perhaps more honest discussions will take place and the honoring of parent’s authority over what happens to their children can return.

I welcome 2026. This was the sunset I was blessed with on New Years eve. I'm feeling hopeful, not that the world will fix all the mess we are in but that I can change myself and that changes everything. My focus for 2026 ... LOVE and FORGIVENESS.
I'm also more passionate than ever to do all I can for the children of the world who generally don't get to choose what is being done to them.

Grateful for my partner, co-author for Vax Facts  and wife DeeDee - Happy New Year to all.
