  What Is Homeopathy? PANS/PANDAS, Symptoms and Root Cause Medicine | Erin Paige

  Sep 21, 20261h 26m

  Erin Paige, HHP, is a homeopath and host of The Remedy Revolution Podcast. Her path into homeopathy began after her young son developed a series of neurological and behavioral symptoms that eventually led to a PANDAS diagnosis. In this episode, Erin explains what homeopathy is, how remedies are selected, and how the practice differs from conventional and holistic medicine. We discuss individualized care, the immune system, symptom suppression, common remedies, and the history of homeopathy in the United States. Erin also shares the experience that changed the direction of her life. Her son began experiencing tics, personality changes, pain, episodes in which he appeared unreachable, violent rages, and an increasing unwillingness to leave home. After years of searching for answers, Erin tried homeopathy. That experience eventually led her to study the practice and begin working with families navigating PANS/PANDAS, autism, mental health challenges, and other complex conditions. What begins as a conversation about tiny sugar pellets becomes a larger question: What if some of the symptoms we continually try to eliminate contain useful information about what the body is trying to do? Whether you already use remedies such as Arnica or Oscillococcinum or have never heard of homeopathy, this conversation offers an introduction to a form of care centered on understanding the individual rather than relying on a diagnosis alone.

  65 | Dr. Andrew Wakefield Gets a Haircut: What Happens When You Question the System

  Jun 15, 20261h 20m

  Few figures in modern medicine have generated as much controversy as Dr. Andrew Wakefield. A former physician and researcher who published more than 150 scientific papers, Wakefield lost his career, fellowships, and medical license while pursuing questions surrounding childhood vaccines, intestinal inflammation, and neurological injury in children. In this episode, Wakefield shares how parents first brought him stories they believed no one was willing to hear, what happened when his research collided with powerful institutions, and how he went from physician to filmmaker and author after years of public scrutiny and professional consequences. We discuss autism, chronic illness, scientific dissent, censorship, media narratives, pharmaceutical liability, public trust, and the responsibilities that come with asking difficult questions. We also discuss his upcoming novel The Bequest (releasing June 26, 2026), and the deeply personal question that helped inspire it: what happens to children with autism when their parents are gone? Whether you agree with him, disagree with him, or simply want to understand one of the most polarizing figures in modern medicine, this conversation offers a rare opportunity to hear the story directly from the man at the center of it.
