Re: NBC: NO dental disease seen in toddler who died at NW Austin dental office after unnecessary dental work

Check out this 2013 Yelp review of Dr. Michael Melanson (Daisy's dentist) of Austin Childrens Dentistry. THIS!! is why people need to do their research before choosing any doctor or dentist and Yelp is by far the best review site as it is much easier for doctors to falsify their own reviews and ratings on sites like RateMDs, Google or Vitals:

BEWARE of Dr. Melanson!!!

The manner in which Dr. Melanson conducted my son's exam, and the way Dr. Melanson intimidated me into believing my three-year old son required TWO hour-long appointments of complete sedation made me feel very uneasy. My son suffers from asthma; sedation can be FATAL for children with asthma.

During the exam, they separated my son from me, and did not allow me to sit with him. (I was sitting with my two-year-old daughter in a different room for her exam).
After my son's exam, Dr. Melanson showed me x-rays of my son's teeth. I did not authorize anyone to take x-rays of my son's teeth! (I later found out from my new dentist, that the practice of taking x-rays on three-year olds is not a common procedure, nor does he recommend it).

My son's pediatrician was equally shocked at Dr. Melanson's request to sedate my son on two separate occasions. He told me he had heard multiple complaints regarding Austin Children's Dentistry on Hymeadow, and suggested I seek a second opinion from Dr. Danny Watts.

Dr. Watts saw NO reason to do ANYTHING to my son's teeth. He recommended I brush and floss his teeth regularly and return for his normal six-month check-up. Furthermore, Dr. Watts had a difficult time understanding why a dentist would recommend such drastic action for a three-year old's teeth.

Please beware of Dr. Melanson's practices. He can be extremely intimidating and convincing. I am very grateful I sought a second opinion and did not put my son's life at risk.

Hi Bueller,

I was warned by a Weston Price-type group NOT to eat or juice RAW cruciferous vegetables because they contained thyroid toxins when they are consumed raw. I have Hashimoto's thyoiditis.

Here is what Chris Masterjohn says about crucifers (which also includes kale) and I3C and DIM:

I am taking a supplement called BroccoMax now, which contains sulphorphane, and I recently found an I3C and DIM supplement at my local health food store, which I may also try because since eliminating broccoli from my green juices over the past several weeks, I have noticed in increase in my estrogen-related migraines.
