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?
I had a similar situation too as a young child... I’m so sorry for you. I’ve eliminated dairy and meat from my diet and have never had that kind of stomach problem again... we need the world to know!!
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.

Well, sadly it is not just "uneducated parents" but the victims of marketing from the dairy industry. Seriously, the dairy industry mad the entire milk=strong bones campaign. AAAND they give financial support to many healthcare institutions, etc... who then perpetuate the myth. It's disturbing how much influence companies have in the health industry... and used all for money, not for the health of the people.
NaturallyNerdeeNicol The dairy industry is terrified right now, based on their pushback against health conscious and environmentally aware individuals and movements.
So, I had stomach pain for most of my life. I was used to it, living with it. Until I went vegan for a month and the pain was gone. I talked about it with a friend and she suggested it was the milk (I used to have lots of milk everyday, hey it’s good for us right?). I introduced everything back in my diet, except the milk, and I haven’t had a stomach pain since.
I had the same experience. Went vegan, stopped having what I call "stomach attacks." When I was pregnant I legit could not control the dairy craving so I started eating cheese little by little. Now I'm a pescatarian but I still won't drink dairy milk or eat sauces/soups/etc. made with whole milk or cream of any sort. If I want alfredo, I make it with almond milk. I still feel good. It's amazing what just limiting certain foods can do for your digestion and overall comfort.
@@shelbypc8409 i'm with you on avoiding milk and cream. cheese usually has a lower lactose content. i always have a lactaid pill (aka lactase) before eating cheese too. it's literally just dosing yourself with the enzyme required to digest lactose which most humans don't produce much of. helps sooo much. i can't tell you how relieved i was when i discovered those. just thinking of all the hours i no longer waste crying in front of the toilet in the fetal position after a dinner out 😂
I only recently found out that 65% of adults are lactose intolerant to varying degrees. Cutting out dairy is a good first step to any stomach issues, but damn I love me some cheese.
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.
UUHH.... IDK MAN. Everyone I talk to about our daily diet agrees moderation is better than restriction. On one side: Sugar is addictive plain and simple, to avoid it would be unrealistic in the long term. On the other hand, moderating how much you consume keeps you at least a little bit satisfied so you dont binge when you've lost control. 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 was on Singulair and Flonaise until I was around 13 and once I stopped drinking milk I no longer had "allergy" symptoms and could stop the medications. Turns out I have dairy sensitivity anyways.
I hv been on antihistamine for years for hay fever n now I'm symptom free after cutting off dairy n sugar for 1yr . Anybody who has no way out of them just give it a try. She is so true.
Yashani Mayadunna I have awful allergies & asthma. I hate milk but I absolutely can't very enough cheese, cream cheese, cottage cheese......I'm trying this!
@@StarAnnasDream I know it's difficult. Luckily we r not used to eat much cheese in our dietary pattern . I drink soya milk now. Find some replacements. Good luck
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.
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 has a casein allergy and he will vomit, cough up mucus, develop a rash, etc if given any dairy. I read that a majority of the population is actually allergic to milk.
Thank you for this. Since going vegan about a year ago I have completely changed my view on how medicine is given. I truly believe we medicate the symptoms and not the cause. This is a threat way to package it!
That's simply fact. There is no medication that cures a disease. There are antibiotics that clear infections (at a great cost), but that is as close as it gets.
You are dead on. My doctor was willing to give me more medicine to treat the side effects of one of the medications I was taking. I didn't accept the offer and told him why. I was happy when he accepted my reasons.
Thank you for your talk. I don't even like the taste of cow's milk ( but love almond milk) but cheese and butter kept comming back into my eating. I haven't eaten meat most of my life.I am older and my stomach is really starting to bother me. I think on July 4th I will quit dairy altogether.
Dairy farmers need to transition to a better industry! Stealing the baby food from calves is wrong and very dangerous for humans. So is eating the flesh or secretions of any animal. Humans are designed to eat plants and plants ONLY!
I learned so much from this DOCTOR, an authentic HEALER! Why so few views of one of the most informative talks about the damage to our health ftom milk and sugar (cookies)? 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.
the internet is going to revolutionize our health. The food industry and Big Agra have to be TAKEN APART and eliminated. Makes me want to volunteer to work on a farm
My son was perfectly healthy, beautiful baby. Before he was a full year old, he was getting ear infections every two weeks, which sent his temperature soaring, and he went in to a gran mal seizure that would not stop. 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. Milk does NOT do your body good.
@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.
This is the person we need as surgeon general. This is the person we need as POTUS. Who wouldn’t follow where she leads? She oozes integrity, intelligence, tempered forthrightness, dedication, and caring. This woman is a warrior. I truly believe the world would change for the better if she were leading the way. Bowing deeply.✨
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.
I am Filipino and we commute daily to get to our destinations. And we talk a lot about anything while in those public transports. One time I overheard an old woman responding to moms discussion on why their kids were sickly. And this old dodging woman commented that it's the milk the kids consume on a daily basis. And this was in rural Philippines and in the 70s. Wow... she got it right all along.
I'm not a kid. I'm an old man and I know milk (and sugar) products were causing my post nasal drip and coughing. I love those foods but I must not eat them.
@@crand20033 Good job, David🎉 I enjoy those too, but now coconut milk is my jam!! Great replacement in my opinion:) I’ve got no suggestions for cookies haha.. sorry. Although, may be worth looking into Stevia as a sugar alternative (a sweet plant).
Once more for the people in the back: *Take the number of grams of sugar per serving and divide by four; that's the number of teaspoons of sugar it contains.*
Mostly it is. But it's more complicated in small children who naturally would be breastfed until about two or three years old, but that rarely happens in our society because it's really complicated for working moms and also considered not normal. So when a child ist weaned at let's say seven months, he or she still needs the nutrients. In this case midwives here in Germany recommend cows milk as it's better than no milk at all.
People are different. I consume milk and so and it never caused me any problems. In fact, drinking a glass of milk even helps me when I have a sore stomach after eating too much sugar... Of course if you drink two litres of milk every day it's an other story.
My child doesn’t have any dairy, nor did she as a toddler. She has a chronic stuffy nose and she gets acid reflux. I don’t think it’s the milk and cookies per se that caused the stomach pain. I think it’s eating late and then lying down to sleep. So we cut out any snacks after dinner and that has so far solved the problem.
Yes, I also wonder this. In med school, they taught us that acid reflux can often be avoided by not resting horizontally after meals. I wonder if she considered this as the main culprit or if the research controls for consuming dairy/sugar at night.
They're still sick during the day when they are upright, it's just more exacerbated at night after a bed time snack/drink. Nothing is lost by limiting sugar and dairy intake. For those patients with these symptoms and habits, their health may be improved. Worth the try, and certainly worth more testing.
God bless her for sharing her knowledge to combat persistent asthma and cough diseases in children. This is in general all the sugar that we eat and the unnatural food manufacturers feed us and causes all the diseases especially cancer.
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.
"Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food" - Hippocrates The father of holistic medicine was very wise, and we should learn from his wisdom, instead of ignoring it......!
I did three really important things for my disease prevention and overall wellness: - I stopped chronically breathing through my mouth...big no-no, huge no-no, partly because the nose is the frontline of defense for the immune system! - I started using the BreatheEasy Lung Exerciser for inhalation and exhalation breathing therapy - and I sleep with a small piece of tape over my lips to keep my mouth closed during sleep...stops snoring, apnea, dry mouth and more My chronic fatigue and asthma both are gone now and my outlook on life is exceptional because I’m sleeping better and have more energy. I’m 54.
My wife had athsma for 45 years then, after ditching dairy, it was gone. She is so annoyed that no doctor ever raised the issue of dairy. Doctors need to be trained on nutrition.
I follow the science concerning dairy foods. Numerous research studies strongly indicate that dairy consumption is extremely unhealthy and should be avoided. It is advisable to stop consuming milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, etc. Michael Greger in his book "How Not to Die" has summarized much of the research in this area.
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.
Read the labels. I found out that the cream I was buying had sugar added to it. Some really basic info and changes weren’t difficult at all. Sugar is in a LOT of food and we don’t even know because we shop passively.
Excellent advice - addiction is the root cause of a lot of modern humanistic societies and that even include foods (to be more specific - the food components). Definition of addiction - too much of anything is never good!
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.
This is anecdotal evidence. That doesn’t mean she’s wrong, she just need needs to present strong evidence that this is true. It could just be a correlation. (My kids both drink a lot of milk and never have congestion or allergy symptoms)
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.
It is hard, but it is doable. The first 3 days are like kicking a drug, because that is what you are doing. Get it out of the house, don’t buy it, and know that a craving peaks after 10 minutes. You can endure 10 minutes. Distract yourself, find support groups. It’s your life you are saving.
I can confirm this is true. I was suffering a lot of terrible IBS symptoms and other problems. I cut sugar almost completely out of my diet, and most of the terrible symptoms i was having subsidised. I still drink dairy however not as much.
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've had this cough for at least 5 months that refuses to go away. Every night and sometimes in the morning, my lungs fill with mucus and I cough for an hour. 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.
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.
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.
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
Sadly I discovered this too late for myself at 18, my parents just wanted me to be happy in the moment so they didn't restrict sugar, if I knew sugar made me dumber and shortened my life I would have stopped it earlier
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.
You know that when you stop eating sugar (or eat less and less), you eventually get disgusted by the taste of too much of it. That’s why I cringed really bad when I read your comment.
@Ah Lee Nah yeah I don't feel very good about eating so much sugar. it's just so easy to grab some chocolate than it is to make an actual meal. I'm not usually this bad lol
Coz you lack love in your life? :D But if you wanna something sweet and fast - try sweet potatoes. You can cook them super fast in the microwave, you dont even need to peal them, just take one, make a few holes with a fork so it wont explode, and put it in the microwave for 10 min. Put some buter or coconut oil and enjoy.
I have always hated milk. I do like some cheeses but never drank milk after babyhood. Great to find out it was good for me in the long run. Never forced my kids to drink milk once they were weaned either. They hated it too (they gagged when I tried when their pediatrician said it was OK to give them cow's milk).
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.
I like how bouncy her presentation is, but still retaining that air of professionalism. She sounds really smart and humble.
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.

@@kingmantheman Asiatics, Arabs, many Africans are lactose intolerant.
So, I had stomach pain for most of my life. I was used to it, living with it. Until I went vegan for a month and the pain was gone. I talked about it with a friend and she suggested it was the milk (I used to have lots of milk everyday, hey it’s good for us right?). I introduced everything back in my diet, except the milk, and I haven’t had a stomach pain since.
I had the same experience. Went vegan, stopped having what I call "stomach attacks." When I was pregnant I legit could not control the dairy craving so I started eating cheese little by little. Now I'm a pescatarian but I still won't drink dairy milk or eat sauces/soups/etc. made with whole milk or cream of any sort. If I want alfredo, I make it with almond milk. I still feel good. It's amazing what just limiting certain foods can do for your digestion and overall comfort.
@@shelbypc8409 i'm with you on avoiding milk and cream. cheese usually has a lower lactose content.
i always have a lactaid pill (aka lactase) before eating cheese too. it's literally just dosing yourself with the enzyme required to digest lactose which most humans don't produce much of. helps sooo much.
i can't tell you how relieved i was when i discovered those. just thinking of all the hours i no longer waste crying in front of the toilet in the fetal position after a dinner out 😂
What do you use as a milk substitute now?
@@carochan86 Oat, almond, rice, soy milks.
I only recently found out that 65% of adults are lactose intolerant to varying degrees. Cutting out dairy is a good first step to any stomach issues, but damn I love me some cheese.
I’m studying nutrition and plan on being a physician in the future and this is the most interesting video I’ve seen in a LOOONG time
hope you will be plant-based. Also, you should watch ''Game Changers'' on nutrition and athletes... very interesting !!
And I hope you will be animal-based. You should read Shawn Bakers book on the Carnivore Diet. Quite insightful!!
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.
Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation. Saint Augustine
UUHH.... IDK MAN. Everyone I talk to about our daily diet agrees moderation is better than restriction. On one side: Sugar is addictive plain and simple, to avoid it would be unrealistic in the long term. On the other hand, moderating how much you consume keeps you at least a little bit satisfied so you dont binge when you've lost control. 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".
It is because when you get the taste, you want more.
for some, do what works for you
Everyone has their own idea of "moderation", that's why it doesn't work.
Dr. Sebi really enlightened me about the affect of foods on mucus and inflammation.
I was on Singulair and Flonaise until I was around 13 and once I stopped drinking milk I no longer had "allergy" symptoms and could stop the medications. Turns out I have dairy sensitivity anyways.
I hv been on antihistamine for years for hay fever n now I'm symptom free after cutting off dairy n sugar for 1yr .
Anybody who has no way out of them just give it a try.
She is so true.
Yashani Mayadunna I have awful allergies & asthma. I hate milk but I absolutely can't very enough cheese, cream cheese, cottage cheese......I'm trying this!
@@StarAnnasDream I know it's difficult. Luckily we r not used to eat much cheese in our dietary pattern . I drink soya milk now. Find some replacements. Good luck
no when you say sugar you mean artificial sugars right? because there is sugar in fruit. fruit is healthy. don’t stop eating fruit.
@@erinkelley1212 what we talk here is refined sugar. And I must say, in my diet I generally avoided them but there r occasions where I had them.
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.
Allergies and asthma are spot on ! You are an angel, 🙏🏻 thank you for pointing this out
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 has a casein allergy and he will vomit, cough up mucus, develop a rash, etc if given any dairy. I read that a majority of the population is actually allergic to milk.
You could try giving her yogurt or dried cheese, which don't usually have lactose.
Dairy is neither nutritious or necessary. Why should she be given yogurt?
Thank you for this. Since going vegan about a year ago I have completely changed my view on how medicine is given. I truly believe we medicate the symptoms and not the cause. This is a threat way to package it!
That's simply fact. There is no medication that cures a disease. There are antibiotics that clear infections (at a great cost), but that is as close as it gets.
You are dead on. My doctor was willing to give me more medicine to treat the side effects of one of the medications I was taking. I didn't accept the offer and told him why. I was happy when he accepted my reasons.
She is exactly able to solve my nose puffing and throat swelling,I get at night. Removing dairy,sugar is the solution. Thank you mam
36 executives from the dairy and pharmaceutical industry don’t like this video.
Thank you for your talk. I don't even like the taste of cow's milk ( but love almond milk) but cheese and butter kept comming back into my eating. I haven't eaten meat most of my life.I am older and my stomach is really starting to bother me. I think on July 4th I will quit dairy altogether.
Thank you so much Dr. Julie Wei
I love this woman!
Thanks TED and Dr. Julie L. Wei, these things are life improving.
Julie Wei, this message needs to be shared and those that profit from such diets should be taken to task. Well done you!
66 dislikes from dairy farmers
the other 60 must be cookie farmers :>
@@kevin49ification Good one LOL
Dairy farmers need to transition to a better industry! Stealing the baby food from calves is wrong and very dangerous for humans. So is eating the flesh or secretions of any animal. Humans are designed to eat plants and plants ONLY!
Or perhaps dairy MNCs
great speech Julie. thanks.
I learned so much from this DOCTOR, an authentic HEALER!
Why so few views of one of the most informative talks about the damage to our health ftom milk and sugar (cookies)?
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.
the internet is going to revolutionize our health. The food industry and Big Agra have to be TAKEN APART and eliminated. Makes me want to volunteer to work on a farm
4:30 very simple solution to problems which seems very complicated. Loads of respect ma'am 🙏
My son was perfectly healthy, beautiful baby. Before he was a full year old, he was getting ear infections every two weeks, which sent his temperature soaring, and he went in to a gran mal seizure that would not stop. 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. Milk does NOT do your body good.
I drink milk and dairy every day and haven’t gotten any seizures yet🤷♂️
@@bigmansteve1828 yeah that’s horrible but not everyone is the same
@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.
This is the person we need as surgeon general. This is the person we need as POTUS. Who wouldn’t follow where she leads? She oozes integrity, intelligence, tempered forthrightness, dedication, and caring. This woman is a warrior. I truly believe the world would change for the better if she were leading the way.
Bowing deeply.✨
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.
Sinusitis triggered by sugar? Interesting.
Hi what kind of foods/meals do you eat? I'm trying to be healthier but have a difficult time knowing what are healthy alternatives
Great presentation and info. Thanks!
Smart, informative, & caring, bravo
Soooo informative trying daily to drop dairy.Your not a kill joy your a lifesaver!
I am Filipino and we commute daily to get to our destinations. And we talk a lot about anything while in those public transports. One time I overheard an old woman responding to moms discussion on why their kids were sickly. And this old dodging woman commented that it's the milk the kids consume on a daily basis. And this was in rural Philippines and in the 70s. Wow... she got it right all along.
Astroboy Skygazer Always trust the elders. They already knew what health officials are finding out today.
@SigmaTauri2 Africans too. I am of African descent and I stay clear of milk. Cow pus, keep it I don't want!
I'm not a kid. I'm an old man and I know milk (and sugar) products were causing my post nasal drip and coughing. I love those foods but I must not eat them.
@@crand20033 Good job, David🎉 I enjoy those too, but now coconut milk is my jam!! Great replacement in my opinion:) I’ve got no suggestions for cookies haha.. sorry. Although, may be worth looking into Stevia as a sugar alternative (a sweet plant).
@@alexguerra1668 I have lately been enjoying sugar free Jello. It is surprisingly nutritious. Look it up.
What a fantastic talk! Amazed it's not racked up millions of views
Once more for the people in the back:
*Take the number of grams of sugar per serving and divide by four; that's the number of teaspoons of sugar it contains.*
For the mathematically challenged: 4 grams of sugar = 1 teaspoon of sugar
she is so right. we are not biologically tuned to drink cows milk! cows milk is for calves, not humans. it’s that simple.
Thank you so much. I have been trying to get this through 👍 some of these hardheaded people for quite a while 😂 now.
It really is.
Mostly it is. But it's more complicated in small children who naturally would be breastfed until about two or three years old, but that rarely happens in our society because it's really complicated for working moms and also considered not normal. So when a child ist weaned at let's say seven months, he or she still needs the nutrients. In this case midwives here in Germany recommend cows milk as it's better than no milk at all.
What if we drink almond milk?? is that bad as well??
People are different. I consume milk and so and it never caused me any problems. In fact, drinking a glass of milk even helps me when I have a sore stomach after eating too much sugar...
Of course if you drink two litres of milk every day it's an other story.
I love her! She’s telling the truth.
My child doesn’t have any dairy, nor did she as a toddler. She has a chronic stuffy nose and she gets acid reflux. I don’t think it’s the milk and cookies per se that caused the stomach pain. I think it’s eating late and then lying down to sleep. So we cut out any snacks after dinner and that has so far solved the problem.
Yes, I also wonder this. In med school, they taught us that acid reflux can often be avoided by not resting horizontally after meals. I wonder if she considered this as the main culprit or if the research controls for consuming dairy/sugar at night.
They're still sick during the day when they are upright, it's just more exacerbated at night after a bed time snack/drink. Nothing is lost by limiting sugar and dairy intake. For those patients with these symptoms and habits, their health may be improved. Worth the try, and certainly worth more testing.
Katherine Langford I agree. My child doesn’t have dairy and I do my very best to limit sugar because it definitely exacerbated acid reflux.
Julie, thank you for making these info so convincing and informative.
God bless her for sharing her knowledge to combat persistent asthma and cough diseases in children. This is in general all the sugar
that we eat and the unnatural food manufacturers feed us and causes all the diseases especially cancer.
Wonderful...she also says the right or limited amounts are not off limits.
Thank you for pointing this out, really good and true informations ! Love U Mam !!
Brilliant - a holistic doctor at last. What you put in an engine is crucial to its operation, why is nutrition any different.
How to give subtitle in my language? I'm so happy to translate!
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.
Yeah.. This sounds more like it
I was watching this and thinking the same thing. How many people will be duped by this talk? By the looks of the comments, too many.
And yet, cutting sugar and milk seems to improve health and reduce suffering, regardless of erudite comments about organic chemistry and bacteriology.
Now this is a good Doctor !
"Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food" - Hippocrates
The father of holistic medicine was very wise, and we should learn from his wisdom, instead of ignoring it......!
Thankyou excellent presentation. 🙂🌸
I did three really important things for my disease prevention and overall wellness:
- I stopped chronically breathing through my mouth...big no-no, huge no-no, partly because the nose is the frontline of defense for the immune system!
- I started using the BreatheEasy Lung Exerciser for inhalation and exhalation breathing therapy
- and I sleep with a small piece of tape over my lips to keep my mouth closed during sleep...stops snoring, apnea, dry mouth and more
My chronic fatigue and asthma both are gone now and my outlook on life is exceptional because I’m sleeping better and have more energy. I’m 54.
Very helpful, thank you for sharing
My wife had athsma for 45 years then, after ditching dairy, it was gone. She is so annoyed that no doctor ever raised the issue of dairy. Doctors need to be trained on nutrition.
i’m so happy i never liked drinking milk when i was little now
Well said
I follow the science concerning dairy foods. Numerous research studies strongly indicate that dairy consumption is extremely unhealthy and should be avoided. It is advisable to stop consuming milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, etc. Michael Greger in his book "How Not to Die" has summarized much of the research in this area.
I haven’t died yet🤷♂️
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.
Thank you, Dr. Wei -- xiè xiè!!
Read the labels. I found out that the cream I was buying had sugar added to it. Some really basic info and changes weren’t difficult at all. Sugar is in a LOT of food and we don’t even know because we shop passively.
Excellent advice - addiction is the root cause of a lot of modern humanistic societies and that even include foods (to be more specific - the food components). Definition of addiction - too much of anything is never good!
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.
This is anecdotal evidence. That doesn’t mean she’s wrong, she just need needs to present strong evidence that this is true. It could just be a correlation.
(My kids both drink a lot of milk and never have congestion or allergy symptoms)
@Sirius White I’m pretty sure I won’t, lol
So true. My son had a persistent runny nose for two years!
I’m trying so hard to quit sugar, but damn it’s hard. My boyfriend quit dairy and his acne totally went away.
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.
It is hard, but it is doable. The first 3 days are like kicking a drug, because that is what you are doing. Get it out of the house, don’t buy it, and know that a craving peaks after 10 minutes. You can endure 10 minutes. Distract yourself, find support groups. It’s your life you are saving.
Excellent talk! Thank you so much!
I can confirm this is true. I was suffering a lot of terrible IBS symptoms and other problems. I cut sugar almost completely out of my diet, and most of the terrible symptoms i was having subsidised. I still drink dairy however not as much.
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.
@@Skogsmulla32 you are right to be skeptical. Keep up the good work 💖
I've had this cough for at least 5 months that refuses to go away. Every night and sometimes in the morning, my lungs fill with mucus and I cough for an hour. 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.
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.
9:50 Johnny Johnny? Yes Papa? Eating sugar? No Papa!!!
*You sure bout that Johnny?*
I loved this presentation
Great conclusion!
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.
"Medication will not work if it is treating a condition the patient does not have" 6:58 - Amazing line right there
she's AMAZING.
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.
An excellent talk!
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.
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
We should have cyanide and mercury in moderation too!
Hoomin Beeing many fruits contain cyanide!
Jeff John yes the first person in the comments who actually listened
@@MaybeM00dy Problem is, true "moderation" is so small that you're basically not consuming milk and cookies at all.
@@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
this talk was amazing
You’d think it would be common sense to not give chocolate milks to your child every day??
AWESOME a talk!!!
YES, THE TRUTH THANK YOU.
Sadly I discovered this too late for myself at 18, my parents just wanted me to be happy in the moment so they didn't restrict sugar, if I knew sugar made me dumber and shortened my life I would have stopped it earlier
That’s not how sugar works my guy
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've always wondered why warm milk tastes so different than cold milk. The acid thing explains a lot
"sugar is the nicotine and alcohol addiction" yo I literally ate 4 donuts and like 12 hershey nuggets, why am I like this
yea, I snorted a bunch of Nestle Milo chocolate powder. It was radical, bro.
You know that when you stop eating sugar (or eat less and less), you eventually get disgusted by the taste of too much of it. That’s why I cringed really bad when I read your comment.
@Ah Lee Nah yeah I don't feel very good about eating so much sugar. it's just so easy to grab some chocolate than it is to make an actual meal. I'm not usually this bad lol
Coz you lack love in your life? :D But if you wanna something sweet and fast - try sweet potatoes. You can cook them super fast in the microwave, you dont even need to peal them, just take one, make a few holes with a fork so it wont explode, and put it in the microwave for 10 min. Put some buter or coconut oil and enjoy.
Lol ...I did too ..but not anymore
This lady is talking perfect sence as I'm sure everyone here can tell.
Great speech, we need more smart and kind people like her.
well said
I have always hated milk. I do like some cheeses but never drank milk after babyhood. Great to find out it was good for me in the long run. Never forced my kids to drink milk once they were weaned either. They hated it too (they gagged when I tried when their pediatrician said it was OK to give them cow's milk).
I love free educated thinkers! That’s why the mom had some resistance. The doc is amazing!
Julie! Oh Julie! Such a treasure!
Thank you for this perspective on the "Milk and Cookie Disease"!
This video needs more views by parents.
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.
