The latest “Make Our Children Healthy” roadmap from the Maha Commission offers more than 120 initiatives that aim to combat what Kennedy called “the epidemic of chronic infantile diseases”.
Here are five goals described in the report.
Reseval vaccines
Vaccines have long been a major focal point for Kennedy, before and during his mandate as a secretary to health. The new MAHA report recommends a new “vaccine executive”, including an overhaul of the current infant vaccine calendar and an investigation into vaccine injuries.
Under Kennedy, the federal government has already taken measures on the two articles.
Despite serious concerns of the medical establishment, earlier this year, Kennedy presented a new federal policy which reduced the recommendations of the COVVI-19 vaccine to adults aged 65 and over and those who have certain pre-existing medical conditions. The Food and Drug Administration of the United States (FDA) no longer recommend vaccines for healthy children or pregnant women. In a video statement in May with other health officials, Kennedy described the move as “common sense”, highlighting a lack of evidence that healthy children need suddenly and most other countries have ceased to recommend it for children. He did not offer any reason to no longer recommend it to pregnant women.
Regarding vaccine injuries, centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the FDA have long followed “unwanted events”, using public systems that capture potential side effects that may occur after someone receives a vaccine. CDC experts emphasize that serious adverse events are “rarely caused by [a] vaccine “himself.
Redefine ultra-transformed foods
Citing reports that we are now obtaining more than 60% of their daily calories from highly processed foods, a known engine of chronic diseases, the report calls for updated federal food directives and the creation of a new definition of ultra-transformed foods.
He also promises to work in close collaboration with restaurants and schools in an increasing number of states to promote awareness of healthy food options for children and restrict junk food thanks to the additional nutritional assistance program (SNAP).
Remove pesticides and fluoride in drinking water
One of the declared objectives of the report is to “allow parents to make informed choices by increasing transparency and access to reliable information on health and nutrition”, in particular concerning exposure to fluoride and pesticides – both subjects that the US Ministry of Health and Social Services (HHS) prioritized in policies update movements this year.
Some American communities have recently chosen to withdraw the mineral from public water systems, despite expert consensus on the benefits of fluoride health. Athanasios Zavras, DDS, DMEDSC, dentist, professor and president of public health and community service at the TUFTS University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, previously told Everyday Health that “research shows that when fluorine levels are optimal, there are no known risks” for most people. There are, however, some emerging evidence connecting prenatal exposure to fluorine to lower IQs in children, although more studies are necessary.
Although the commission’s May report has distinguished pesticides as an engine of childhood disease, the new report avoids calling for repression against pesticides and other agricultural chemicals. Instead, this suggests a need for public awareness of the federal pesticide processes and procedures.
More specifically, he calls on government agencies to seek the health effects of exposure to pesticides over time, with the aim of implementing new approaches for agricultural methods which “reduce the total quantity of necessary pesticides”.
Pond in the “over -mediation” of children
The Commission describes “over -mediation” as a “tendency concerning the surprise of drugs to children, often motivated by conflicts of interest in medical research”. The new strategy calls for a working group to assess trends in pediatric mental health diagnosis and the prescription of drugs.
Specifically quoting selective serotonin recovering inhibitors (a category of antidepressants), mood stabilizers, antipsychotics and stimulating drugs for ADHD, the report indicates that doctors prescribe them too easily, which leads to “unnecessary treatments and long -term health risks” in children. The Maha Commission promises to conduct research on these trends and update certain older generic drug labels to “better reflect the last sciences”.
Improve fertility
The Maha report recommends stages for “improving health and fertility”, including an education campaign focused on lifestyle and subsidies in order to tackle the “deep causes of infertility”. The report also calls for the creation of an “infertility training center” intended for title X – family planning clinics and preventive health services funded by the federal government – in order to educate staff on how to identify and treat infertility and make appropriate medical references.
