Crazy take. I know. But I’m not here to say that they’re blameless either. The amount of money that pharmaceutical companies use for advertising, luring you into “a pill for an ill” mentality is enormous, and up until the past 10-15 years it was foolproof. Ultimately, we as parents/guardians are the stewards of our families. We’re the only ones tasked with their health/wellbeing/existence, so if this message feels daunting? Good. That means you care. It means that you’re willing to do your own research instead of trusting what an influencer tells you to do. This group is intended to do so much more than just give you recipes to plug and play like some white labeled medication on the drugstore shelf. The role of this group is to teach you how to strengthen the skills that you need to feel confident in using what you may have on hand to support the health and wellbeing of your family members - especially your children. I’m never going to treat, prescribe, diagnose, or overpromise what something mentioned in this group can do. Everything I write/say is for educational purposes only. That being said, I’m a parent too. I know what it’s like to want additional reassurance, so if there’s anything that you want a medical professional’s opinion on - go do that! I have nothing against individual doctor’s and wholly welcome their perspectives in this group. All I’m saying is that you know your child better than anyone else. It’s not the government’s kid, it’s not his/her pediatrician’s kid, it’s yours. Like the age-old saying goes: “It takes a village” So let’s be the village. Side note: I’ve disabled the map feature for this community for privacy reasons. If I see value in enabling it in the future that may change. This is a paid community because dealing with complex and sensitive systems is important and critical at times. Though I believe this information should be accessible to everyone, I put a good deal of time and effort into creating targeted and effective materials for you to reference.
