I Have a Child Who…
We are embarking on a new project in 2019 with our friend and colleague, Patricia Lemer.
This project will take the form of a weekly webcast (broadcast here on Facebook every Wednesday) called “I have a child who…”
For instance, you may have a child who…
– is a picky eater
– has Autism
– can’t sit still
– is allergic
– doesn’t sleep
– has tantrums
Tune in each week on Wednesdays HERE, to learn about a different topic, a different “child who” and a discussion about root causes and what parents can do to help their child. Take a peek here at our announcement and vision for the show:
Kristi Wees is our Chief Advocacy Officer here at Empowered Medical Advocacy and has published an ebook called Top 10 Lab Tests for Your Child which can be purchased here, online. Patricia Lemer is the author of a few books, her newest which is being released in March 2019, is called Outsmarting Autism and can pre-ordered here.
If you would like to have access to the archived “I Have a Child Who…” webcasts after they air, online, become a member of our #BeEmpowered Membership group.
Top 10 Lab Tests for Your Child EBOOK is Here!
We are so excited to announce that today we are releasing our top 10 Lab Tests for Your Child E-Book!
This book has been an idea we have had for a number of years. It came from our own journey through the medical maze with our child. We realized early on that symptoms and behaviors were often noted in a chart but rarely investigated to try to determine what the collective “meaning” of the entire symptom constallation might be. Perhaps your child is displaying their own dizzying array of “symptom constellations” at the moment, with more symptoms and behaviors to count than stars in the Milky Way. You might have been told that it is just them being “a kid” or perhaps you have been told something much worse, like your child has a developmental disorder, autism or a mental illness. STOP. Before you take one more step. Please read this book. There is HOPE. There is more you can do for your child, but it requires that you empower yourself with some information about basic lab testing so you can help advocate for them effectively.
You are not alone. We are here to help. This book is a starting point for any parent who needs to dig deeper because their parental instict alarm is going off, saying something is “not quite right” with thier child’s health. Take the first step toward helping your child. Read the book.
(You can complete it in one evening, I promise!)
If you have specific questions after you read the book, please reach out to us. We are here to help.

Many will tell you that all these things are NORMAL and people may even tell you that, as a parent, you are worrying about your child “too much”, or that they will outgrow these things, or that it is just a phase…or, or, or…
Some others may tell you that your child’s collection of symptoms are being caused by a “mysterious syndrome” or “rare disease” or “disorder”, but when you dissect the list of symptoms the child has and look at them singularly, these symptoms are not RARE, they are COMMON, but they still are not NORMAL.
You are told these things because “SICK” is the
NEW NORMAL, in today’s world.
All these COMMON “childhood” ailments are the BODY’s way of saying something is OUT OF BALANCE, NOT NORMAL, in need of TWEAKING, ADJUSTING, and ATTENTION…
Continue to THINK, Continue to QUESTION, Continue to ASK WHY? and Continue to LOOK FOR ANSWERS and ADVOCATE for your child… because
NO ONE ELSE WILL EVER DO A BETTER JOB OF IT, THAN YOU WILL!
We are here to help. Contact us if your child is suffering from the “new normal”, we can help.
