Dr. Michelle Perro is a renowned, California-based pediatrician of some 40 years standing. She began her career in acute care, where she went on to run an emergency department and then to work with sexual assault and abuse victims, including children.<\/p>\n
But Perro\u2019s professional life changed dramatically in 2006. A parent of a patient introduced her to the impact to a child\u2019s health caused by environmental toxicants and genetically modified foodswhich ignited her deep passion for making change. Michelle Perro hasn\u2019t looked back since.<\/p>\n
Perro\u2019s book, \u201cWhat\u2019s Making Our Children Sick?,\u201d co-authored with Vincanne Adams Ph.D. in 2018, was prompted by her horror of the change in the landscape of children\u2019s health. It offers a \u201cbird\u2019s eye view\u201d of the effects of genetically modified organisms and associated pesticides on her patient\u2019s health and what then goes wrong.<\/p>\n
Perros is is also a co-founder and executive director of GMO Science, a science-based website focusing on the relationships between genetic modification, environmental toxicants and health. You can also find her column, \u201cPediatric Pearls,\u201d in the integrative journal, The Townsend Letter.<\/p>\n
Perro\u2019s newest project is linked to the launch of a new website expected in July 2021. The project will include a weekly zoom meeting aimed at empowering parents to take back the health of their children and community. Her intent is to reach more parents who need her support and vast expertise wherever they may be in the world. The new initiative will be a membership program with barriers to access removed for the financially challenged.<\/p>\n
