Nadine Burke Harris on the TED stage.
These news could have far, far reaching implications. A profound paradigm shift is underway.
The first Surgeon-General in California, Dr Nadine Harris, is a leading advocate for the new understanding that our greatest diseases spring from emotional trauma in childhood. She will promote screening sick children for Adverse Childhood Experiences.
This is a huge game-changer! The beginning of the end of the ‘Pharmaceutical Theory of Everything’ – that makes a market from human sickness. It also marks a great leap forward in our awakening to the primacy of childhood in all human endeavour. Better policy for better childhoods.
It all has to start somewhere. But you have to admit: California is one hell of a somewhere!
Nadine Harris: you are a giant change-maker. May you be a domino. Check out her TED talk. Perfect summary of the gigantic, world-changing ACE study. The implications are utterly transformative, revolutionary. The end of the Drug Era, the beginning of health.
This is super exciting! I love that she’s turning it into a movement. It’s interesting to see that she’s also coming up against disengagement and industry (similar issues to the climate change movement).
Thanks for sharing!
No question, Alicia. If we truly give children and babies what they need, it would be disastrous for a lot of Big Corporate vested interests. Big Pharma for one. Big Food for two. Big Armaments for three.
