6% of Kids Have This Disease (And Parents Don't Know)
What if your child's reluctance to play dodgeball isn't about being shy or unathletic, but about a real medical condition that 180 million Americans have—yet doctors routinely dismiss? The hidden epidemic of chronic conditions in children is more common than you think.
In this groundbreaking episode, we explore the shocking reality of chronic conditions like fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome in children. Our expert reveals that approximately 6% of the entire population—including children—has fibromyalgia, affecting 20 million people in the United States alone. When you add all immune-related diseases together, we're looking at 150-180 million Americans who may have one of these conditions. Discover why the medical community has historically dismissed these patients, particularly women and children, leading to devastating consequences including the highest rates of suicide and suicidal ideation.
Learn about revolutionary research published in Nature journal that identified unique DNA genomic signatures in 100% of fibromyalgia patients, proving this is a real, testable disease—not hypochondria. Our guest explains the critical difference between what doctors call "fibromyalgia" and what it actually is: an immune deficiency disorder affecting peripheral blood mononuclear cells. These cells can't manufacture normal quantities of four critical proteins, leading to widespread symptoms that go far beyond muscle pain.
Most importantly, learn the early warning signs every parent should watch for: changes in activity levels, reluctance to participate in physical activities, sleep disturbances, depression, and anxiety in children.
