  • What’s fascinating is that Cuba also has the most medical doctors per capita (IIRC), they also provide more Drs to the third world than any western nation.

    Essential preventative healthcare which is particularly effective during childhood;

    Fluoridated water (teeth are pretty essential, also don’t rinse your mouth after brushing as you want that fluoridated toothpaste being in contact for a while)

    Iodized salt (Iodine deficiency in pregnant women and young children can massively effect IQ, it causes a specific goiter around the neck)

    Essential multivitamins and minerals, and fish oil.

    (There’s also an argument to be had here for supplementing lithium at about 1mg daily, as it reduces violent crimes, depression rates and suicides)






  • The thing is that tiktok isn’t parenting children, its exposing them to content which is detrimental to their mental health and is often very addictive and can be very isolating.

    I have to ask, how do you parent your children, (especially older ones/ teenagers) without invading their privacy, especially if they’re already stuck in a harmful echo chamber, whilst still trying to bolster their independence?

    It seems to me that you can have conversations and hope that your kid doesn’t go down the wrong route, but thats a lot harder if there are legitimate bad and indifferent actors pushing harmful content on these platforms.

    Surely these platforms have a duty of responsibility as a content provoder in the same way I wouldn’t expect Cbeebies to be showing Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
