As a kid in the 90s, I was sent through all sorts of tests for cramps and stomach pain. I was taking medicine to help me poop soilds and other things. Xrays, ultrasounds, needles, pills, even camera down my throat while under 10 years old. I was yelled at by a few doctors that I was faking for attention. Saying I have a disorder that I seek attention by faking being ill. One doctor yelled at me in anger with his face a few inches from mine saying I was a liar. My asthma doctor did an allergy test and found that I am lactose intolerant. A simple skin test solved everything. What doctor yells at a kid like that?

There are some doctors that fundamentally misunderstand what medicine is. Some think that there are these things called diseases with exact descriptions...and that never vary from individual to individual. Then they believe that the medical books have "the treatment" which will be tolerated by and cure EVERY patient if only the patient follows instructions. These types of folks that go into medicine, and who are very much authority based thinkers, often react with confusion and anger....when an illness does not exactly follow the textbook. They have difficulties when the line between illness and health is NOT a clean line with a clear gap between either state. We need doctors that blame the patient when an illness does not follow a given textbook pattern...out of the profession. I am very sorry they took their confusion, frustration and anger out on you. That should never have happened. I also see this fantasy of "the right answer" among patients. Of COURSE doctors have the right answer, but they just are not giving it to patients to make MORE money for themselves or big pharma....these authority based thinkers decide. Actually more often than not....doctors do NOT have the perfect answer. What we do hope to have is an idea of what has been tried before that has helped many folks. We offer ...if that seems to have good odds of helping...that treatment choice. We weigh something called the risk (of surgery and or meds) vs the potential benefits ....and try to make an informed decision. It is that thinking process which is why folks are told to SEE a doctor instead of just reading a possible course of action from the internet. A doc is supposed to look at the available plans, rule out those that turned out to be more harmful than good, and then present the remaining choices to the patient for the patient to help decide. Parents need to watch how doctors talk to and deal with child patients. I hope your family picked a different physician. Granted some children ....and adults....do fake illness to avoid school, work or other responsibilities. As no doctor can read minds, nor is perfect, there will always be mistakes made re calling someone who is ill....a likely faker. My apologies to the patients harmed by this type of error.

And losing control for a human being is inevitable, especially when you are bombarded on a daily basis by the thing you are trying to "avoid".

I stopped eating red meat and am only consuming minimal amounts of dairy and my extremely heavy allergies suddenly almost completely vanish after a year. Every time I do eat meat or drink milk though, they’re back for weeks after that. It took me a while to make the connection because the “effect” of those foods is delayed by a couple of days but I’m so glad I ultimately did.

We need more doctors like her who actually think outside the box beyond medication, care about her patients enough to see a pattern and investigate it in order to help treat them effectively.

My niece was obsessed with cheese as a very young child, it was one of the first words she learnt. She always looked so cute when she did her one word request with her pleading eyes and broadly accentuated with the pronunciation of extended ‘eeee’ smile. But she was having a difficult time with constant sinus infections that caused her breathing problems and bad breath. She was given antibiotics, but the infections kept coming back. Until one day she decided that she no longer liked cheese or milk or butter. She was only four at the time, though even at that young an age once she decided something that was that - there was no convincing her. She was right to reject dairy though, soon after her sinuses cleared up and she has never had a problem since. I guess she had an-unconscious understanding of what was harming her.

My son was perfectly healthy, beautiful baby.

We rushed to the hospital, and they could not stop it for a very long time. Doctor doing math on the bed linens to figure out how much valium to give an 11 month old. It was horrible. Well, we went through months, taking that poor child to doctors all over the place, and he was prescribed anti-seizure meds because he kept getting ear infections and seizures. The anti-seizure meds put him in a stupor and he stopped learning how to talk. Finally, we drove all the way to Ohio to see an osteopath. She said, "Stop giving him milk. Give him soy milk or something else." We stopped giving him milk....he stopped getting ear infections, stopped having seizures. Within 3 months he was talking and developing naturally.

​@BigManSteve every body is a little different. In my home, only one of my kids gets sick when she has dairy. It triggers her sinuses, she gets coughing spells and asthma like symptoms. Everyone else in my family consumes dairy and is okay.

People are eating "normally" (ie., like everybody else) and having diet-related illnesses left and right, and instead of changing the diet we have normalized having diet-related illness. People think normal is okay; if they eat like everybody else, that's just fine. But it's not. The way we eat is abnormal and we need to reevaluate what normal really is. I cut out almost all sugar, a lot of carbs and most dairy because I have chronic sinusitis that is extremely triggered by sugar. I was amazed at how, over time, I've reframed what foods are normal. I used to think eating sugar was totally normal, and now I'm adapted to a life without it and I realize that our bodies were just never adapted to process this much sugar, especially refined sugar. It's amazing to me when I see how other people are eating, the amount of calories and carbs and sugar. I don't comment on it because it's not my business, but it really stands out.

Dr Wei needs to follow some classes on organic chemistry and microbiology. Lactose in dairy ferments to lactic acid. Consuming fermented dairy like yoghurt or buttermilk doesn't cause acid reflux in healthy individuals. The fermentation of sugars into alcohol happens anaerobically, while the oxidation of alcohol into acetic acid happens aerobically. Both conditions cannot exist within the stomach at the same time. The conversion of sugar into lactic acid that occurs in the mouth is done by Streptococcus sorbrinus and S. mutants. Neither will be very active at the pH levels within the human stomach. The acid reflux she describes is simply a caused by the increased production of stomach acid after consuming a meal, the horizontal sleeping position, and the short oesophagus in children.

It is a shame the biases of viewers results in a lack of transmission of key knowledge to improve their child's health to parents. Who knows milk has a neutral pH about 7 in your fridge, but if it warms to room temperature becomes much more acidic, which makes it more likely to induce acid reflux? I do, after watching this highly educational TEDx.

Yogurt is actually very healthful IF it does not contain too much added sugar. Yogurt is a probiotic, because it contains good live bacterias for your gut that could reduce inflammation, decrease insulin resistance, and prevent type 2 diabetes. The key is to avoid buying yougurt that has a lot of sugar and junk in the ingredients. It is best to buy "Greek" yogurt, add your own pieces of fruits, nuts, and take control of how much sweetener you put into the yogurt to make it more tasty.

The good news is - once you stoped for a while, like 10 days or so - your taste changes and you cant even imagine eating the same things you eated before - coz they are just too sweet for you now! And a little pro tips - if you lack good carbs you will crave sugar. So make a deal with yourself - "Im alowed to eat this candy bar if I still want to, but only after I had my nice protein and carbs rich meal." - it helps a lot. Also - drinking water when you start craving sweets - it fresh up your system and gives you boost of energy. And lastly - sweet potatoes. - for the times you really need something sweet :D good luck.

I went to the doctor who shrugged off the cough as if were nothing. I called the doctor's office to complain about the cough and they told me to see a pulmonologist. I went to urgent Care and they took x-rays and gave me antibiotics and could not solve the issue. I found that my nightly ice cream desserts exacerbated the cough. I believe that you have brought light to the root of my issue, Dr. Wei. Thank you! I will cut down on dairy and sugar and see how that works.

9:50 Johnny Johnny? Yes Papa? Eating sugar? No Papa!!! *You sure bout that Johnny?*

Brilliant - a holistic doctor at last. What you put in an engine is crucial to its operation, why is nutrition any different.

Please keep in mind that Dr. Wei is talking about preschool children, even infants, who mostly do not choose what they eat and drink. It is important that parents know and get the message. How many of you read food labels, particularly of baby food and drinks? People are aware of fat but think that being aware of carbohydrates is only for diabetics! It is common to see children consuming half a pound of sugar everyday. Wait until you see them developing chronic diseases when they become adults!

You are every right, I always read all the labels and that drives many people almost into insanity. 'You have no trust in any of the producers !' Yes, I do not trust any of these moneymaking foodproducers and I have good reasons for that. When not either the medical doctors care the least I must be maximal aware myself.

I spent my childhood as a bed wetter, nightmare ridden, vomiting, tantrums and either diarrhea or constipation, runny nose, tinnitus and rashes. I was also forced to drink milk, and was heavily addicted to sugar. I had an untreated psychotic break at summer camp, where the only things they fed us were allergens. I ate wonder bread filled with margarine and sugar, Mac and cheese and hot dogs. In that time in the US, food was never considered as the problem for anything. I spent time with a shrink, who couldn’t help, doctors who couldn’t do anything and it wasn’t until the 60’s hanging out in a hippie commune that I discovered organic food and began to feel better.

Omg !!! Amazing !!!

"Medication will not work if it is treating a condition the patient does not have" 6:58 - Amazing line right there

GREAT VID!!!!

Good job

I love her! She’s telling the truth.

My dad was a doctor and he discourage us as children from snacking. It was 3 square meals, nothing in between. If we really felt hungry, we could always help ourselves to a sandwich, but that rarely happened because we were too busy playing outdoors. We all grew up slim, no allergies, no chronic infections. This is despite drinking nothing but milk and sodas (we didn't like the taste of plain water). But Dr Wei has a good point.

she's AMAZING.

well said

I am so worried for my grandchildren. Sugar and carbs fill thier days. How to get through to them is my dilemma. Thank you for your post.

I ignored my lactose intolerance up until a couple years ago when it got so bad i got esophagatitis. From then on i learned to listen to my body. Years of eating things i was sensitive to left me with horrible acid reflux.

Boy I bet pharmaceutical companies hate her! Thanks for speaking up. Every member of my family has experienced this at some point. Before I knew better I’d wake up in the middle of the night after a rich meal of carbs/sugar and throw up or come very closer to it. I no longer eat that way and when I do I definitely pay for it. As a kid & teen I was diagnosed with “IBS”. Now I know better and preach the reflux issue to anyone who will listen. It affects so many other issues in our body.

Excellent talk, even though it's a 7 year old Ted Talk. Sometimes it doesn't take science to figure out how to cure a medical issue, it just takes commoin sense and reputable and caring health professionals who are willing to take the time and put in the effort. Thank you for the excellent learning session. I will be showing this to my patients from now on. Healthiest regards........

I had incessant ear infections in my 30's. I went to several doctors and one quack allergist. Finally I got a wild hair and eliminated milk from my diet. My ear infections disappeared immediately. I still eat dairy, BTW, but only yogurt.

I remember waking up in the middle of the night doing the same thing but i dont remember what i've eaten those days (i was young), im pretty sure it happened at least 3 or more times because i had told my babysitter myself, at age 6 maybe, that it happened to me; it happened the same night. I also had asthma around the same time. It hasnt happened in a while since i've cut dairy/sugary candy out of my diet, and this video just reminded me that it even happened.

She is right and has data to back up what she is saying - however she is drawing a balance - it’s ok to have milk and cookies just not at bedtime - and in moderation - all is fair there

@@hoominbeeing people are consuming mercury though by eating fish… Lol the amount of people with acne, insomnia or over tiredness, aches and pains or even more serious illnesses but they’re adamant they’re healthy… and me as a vegan - well I must be unhealthy or lacking protein, B12 or some vitimins… Nope healthier than I ever was eating meat, fish and dairy… kind of tragic nobody wants to listen despite everybody getting fatter and sicker

Great video! Learned a lot. When I have kids I'll make sure they don't have the milk and cookie disease. My mother never let us have a lot of sugar, so it won't be hard for me to do the same for my little ones. When I worked at a daycare, some parents would give their kids things like cotton candy, lollipops and worse for breakfast(I only saw them in the mornings since that was my shift). Some of these kids were so young they hadn't even turned 1 yet.

When I was a child I got asthma. I always felt that milk made it worse, but at school they always had milk on the side for lunch. Then I ended up getting used to it and just drank it until middle school. For years I would heat everything up because otherwise my throat would hurt and I'd get asthma attacks. Everyone would say including my parents that I needed milk for strong bones and so on, but I just disliked milk and how it made me feel. So once the end of my second year of middle came around I said I wouldn't drink milk anymore no matter what anyone said. The year after my asthma went away, I still got sick with colds but they became less severe and now its been 2 years since I've gotten more than a slight cough. Now I only have milk when I want a tablespoon in my coffee in the morning, the rare occasion of hot chocolate or when a cake recipe requires it.
