Is your baby struggling with tummy time, showing signs of a flat spot, or missing developmental milestones?

We help infants every day who are experiencing head shape changes from things like torticollis, birth positioning, or difficulty turning their head one direction. While helmets can be helpful in some cases, they can also place added stress on your baby’s developing spine, ligaments, muscles, and nervous system.

Pediatric chiropractic care—combined with gentle cranial work and bio-energetic balancing—supports optimal spinal and cranial development. This integrative approach helps your baby feel more at ease in their body, encourages smoother movement, and in some cases, can even help prevent the need for a helmet altogether.

✨ Just like one of our sweet patients whose flat spot and torticollis improved so quickly with care that a helmet was no longer needed! Mom says:

“We’ve had the best experience with Dr. Lauren! …We then started taking our twin boy that started developing a flat spot from torticollis. Immediately after the first visit he felt more comfortable… he started reaching milestones much faster… Fast forward after a few visits he no longer needs a helmet!” — Betty R.

Whether your child is already in a helmet or you’re hoping to prevent the need for one, we’re here to support their development every step of the way.

💊 Benadryl might stop the sniffles… but at what cost?
Did you know pilots are banned from flying for 60 hours after taking it because of how long it impairs cognitive function? ✈️

Now imagine what that’s doing to your child’s developing brain. 🧠

Diphenhydramine — the active ingredient in Benadryl, ZzzQuil, Tylenol PM, Unisom and others — has been linked to:
• Brain fog + behavioral issues in children
• Cognitive decline over time
• Increased risk of dementia in long-term users
• Dangerous side effects in sensitive kids (like seizures or irregular heartbeat)

Yet it’s still commonly used for allergy relief, sleep, and even teething… often starting in infancy.

⚠️ Just because it’s over the counter doesn’t mean it’s safe for long-term use.

At Well-Rooted Pediatrics, we take a better approach:
✅ We address allergies at the root using sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), food and toxin evaluations, and immune support protocols tailored to your child.

💬 If your child struggles with seasonal allergies, itchy skin, or constant congestion—let’s find a smarter, safer solution.

📲 Call 815-322-9300 to learn more or ask about SLIT treatment options today.
🌿 Root-cause care is always worth it.

Neonatal Jaundice: Blue Light Therapy is a Human Disease Incubator

Neonatal jaundice treatment shifted from full-spectrum light to blue light (425–475 nm) in the last 35 years, ignoring quantum biology. Centralized medicine, blind to neuropsin (UVA receptor) and melanopsin (435–465 nm), assumed blue light was safe for bilirubin photoisomerization (Oláh et al., 2013). Infants, with translucent skin and underdeveloped skeletons, allow deep blue light pe*******on, reflecting off bone to stimulate melanocytes. Long-term studies reveal increased dysplastic nevi in these children, a melanoma risk factor (Oláh et al., 2013).

Blue light’s mitotic effect mirrors uveal melanoma (UM) studies: human UM cells exposed to blue light (475 nm) show increased proliferation, an effect blocked by blue-light filters (Hu et al., 2014). In neonates, blue light decouples POMC signaling, overstimulating alpha-MSH and melanogenesis without UV’s protective feedback.

This drives mitochondrial heteroplasmy in melanocytes, as blue light suppresses cytochrome c oxidase, increasing ROS and mtDNA mutations (Godley et al., 2005). Mothers with circadian mismatches often from blue light exposure pass higher heteroplasmy rates to infants, amplifying the risk (Wallace, 2010).

This is how most childhood diseases transfer in the modern world. Light is the first injury children sustain in the germline that eventually becomes their body. They come into their lives with a higher heteroplasmy rate and this puts them closer to disease and death. Lowering their heteroplasmy post natally should be the goal fo the parents who harmed their germlines prenatally. Today's 50% infertility rate in zip codes is Nature's warning that maybe most of the world is not fit to be parents due to the light stress they allow.

In women with PCOS, endometriosis, and men with s***m motility issues due to blue light stress infertility rates are quoted between 30% to 50% in the infertility literature. Additionally, older women may have even higher infertility rates with lower chances of conception each cycle. Younger women on BCPs over 15 years are also experience epic infertility rates. The data is everywhere.
