Vaccines, GMOs and UFOs with Chris Kresser (Kresser Institute), Robb Wolf (RobbWolf.com), Sarah Ballantyne (The Paleo Mom), Dr. Emily Deans, Alex Baia (Director of Media, Paleo Fx, Moderator)
- Research? Where?
- Find one that looks at entire field
- There is no right/wrong or black/white…its your choice
- Feel good about your choices
- Intro level of doubt – big science is broken. Be more willing to challenge beliefs. System is set up to reward status quo. Be more humble about what we know and don’t know.
- Science will give us a lot but…
- Vaccines, hygiene, antibiotics…learning form ancestors and applying
- vaccines doesn’t = autism
- Why are we not looking more into kids who experienced effects of vaccines? because that would be “career suicide”
- Funding for scientific studies has been slashed. The government needs to help out. Its castrating the ability to research. The only ones that is being funded are the ones that can be monetized.
- Is Peer Review Science Broken?
- Risk?
- Risk vs Reward
- medical rsk.
- Risk analysis is skwed.
- GMOs – General application (ie dwarf wheat)
- GMO encourage large crops which is famine waiting to happen
- GMO is used in med research & its awesome, bUT not used with health involved/ in mind, just economically in mind.
- Don’t get caught up in the right/wrong, If it makes you happy….risk vs reward.
- could be modified autoimmune.
- How To Help
- Nutritional Sciences Institute (NSI) for donations
- Crowd Funding (ie Dr. Terry Walls…career suicide) – isn’t viewed as prestige
- Things To Look Up:
- “why most science research paper is false” (paper)
- “How science goes wrong” (paper)
- Hygiene Hypothesis
- Precaution Principle
*Many got really scienctific on this panel, but Mark Sission was the ONLY one who said he didn’t vaccinated his kids and they are fine but he WOULD vaccinated his kinds now days. Not one other gave an answer to the question or had a strong opinion, all gave both sides.

- PrimalNora.com – depression and blood work
- Cause: poor nutrition + environment
- Aches + Pains = inflammation = cardiac Risk
- Food sensitivity
- Lifestyle + Environment
- Infection
- food sensitivity = inflammation
- pollution
- chemical
- Inflammation is a “modern day thing” – do detective work and figure out where
- To heal gut Evaluate & Change: Environment –> Diet –> Gut Health

Some Products I tried:
Paleo Powder – The only seasoning I use…not kidding…it goes great on EVERYTHING. Good news they just got into HEB so you get it there, CM or you can
MuffinElse – they actually are not bad, but I don’t want anyone getting the wrong idea of “muffins”
YumButter – sold at target and easy to transfer. I liked the cashew one the best. BUT I have to control my almond butter because I will eat the whole thing easily. This thing would be gone in a day…in its cute little pouch.
Rootz – this actually was pretty good and the concept was awesome. I like pre-workout. However I try to keep my “diet” pretty natural AND encourage everyone else too, but like this guy my supplements are well supplements and getting back to that real food idea was always haunting.
Eatology – not bad and out of Bryan. You can get Zone meals sent to you too!
