Raising Healthy Children in a Modern World

In today’s world, having a healthy child presents more challenges than ever before. Fertility, pregnancy, and childbirth are often approached through a purely medicalized lens, rather than honoring the biological and natural processes that have guided humanity for generations. Just a century ago, pregnancy was seen as a natural life phase—not a condition requiring constant intervention. Births took place at home, supported by midwives or physicians, in a setting that respected the rhythms of the mother and baby.

Modern medical practices have introduced an increasing number of interventions—from medications and epidurals to frequent ultrasounds, routine vaccinations, and a C-section rate that has reached 1 in 3 births in the U.S. since 2017. As children grow, they are exposed to repeated courses of antibiotics, fever suppression, and up to 72 vaccinations by age 18. These cumulative interventions can disrupt immune system regulation and contribute to imbalances in physical, emotional, and neurological development.

Drs. Robert and Lisa Abell bring over 32 and 28 years of experience, respectively, in understanding and treating the root causes of impaired growth and development in children. Their expertise covers a wide range of conditions including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, failure to thrive, chronic infections, learning challenges, oppositional defiant disorder, gut dysfunction, sleep disturbances, and chronic ear infections.

With a methodical and holistic approach, they work to gently guide children back into balance—supporting healing on both the physical and emotional levels. Their goal is not only to manage symptoms but to help children thrive—restoring resilience, vitality, and developmental harmony.
