Episode 29: The Vaccine Balancing Act with Dr. Hilary Andrews

I went to school with Dr. Hilary Andrews. She graduated before me,
but I recall her then—she had a reputation for brilliance (and was
voted class valedictorian, incidentally). Hilary applied that
brilliance to childhood health and nutrition, which inevitably
included investigation around vaccine safety. Flash forward to
current time, Hilary continues to research and lecture extensively
on the topic of immunization. She’s developed a number of CE
courses available for clinicians. Make no mistake: Dr. Andrews
recognizes the profound benefits of immunization-from the virtual
elimination of polio, to the exciting work in cancer. However, Dr.
Andrews also recognizes among other things, that one immunization
schedule does not fit all. And that optimizing baby’s health,
including supporting immune system maturation, ensuring nutrient
sufficiency, and adequate detoxification capacity, is essential to
ensure the safest, most effective response.
