What is Total Load Theory? + Will Florida Eliminate Vaccine Mandates?
Patricia Lemer, M.Ed. recently published “Total Load Theory,” which explains how the human body, like a bridge, can collapse under the weight of accumulating burdens. In the new book, Patricia explores difficult topics such as treatment protocols for chronic conditions, the relationship between vaccines and autism, alternative communication methods, housing and employment options for the disabled community and more. Today, on “Good Morning CHD,” viewers can learn more about the contents of this “encyclopedia” on neurodevelopmental disorders as well as Patricia’s other works. Tune in!
And… Today’s “Advocacy Lifeline” topic is vaccine mandates, especially as it relates to the Florida announcement which was the first step to eliminating such requirements under state law. Efforts are being made to:
- Remove shots from the schedule that are mandated via immunization forms
- Expand the interpretation of religious exemptions to include moral and ethical beliefs for any other injections
All that is needed now is a bill that amends the current law, and health freedom advocates can reach out in support to ensure that such legislation passes through. Find out more from Dawn Richardson in this episode.
