And Experience…

Connection to some of the top experts in the field of regenerative health and meet families who need your help
Professional training that you cannot get anywhere else
Being at the forefront of cutting edge information that is not yet available to the public
The Documenting Hope Conference offers research-backed solutions for parents and health professionals to put into action right away to help children on their healing journeys.
We will navigate this path together…
The Documenting Hope Project is a children’s health and wellness research program created by Epidemic Answers, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in collaboration with a coalition of physicians, parents, scientists, research and health organizations and experts in a cross-section of specialties ranging from bioinformatics to traditional healing.
Documenting Hope’s two research projects are led by a team of dedicated professionals including: Executive Director Beth Lambert, Medical Director, Dr. Heather Tallman Ruhm, Programs Director, Josie Nelson, and world-renowned Former Harvard Pediatric Neurologist, Dr. Martha Herbert.
We have come together to re-think the way we approach children’s health and wellness in the developed world. We know serious chronic conditions and developmental challenges can be overcome by optimizing the good influences on our bodies, reducing the harmful ones and using a “root causes” approach to healing. If this model is widely adopted, we have the opportunity to profoundly impact the future of our children and life on this planet.
Born from this concept are our two rigorous scientific studies that look for the root causes of symptoms and diagnoses and examine how it is possible to fully reverse these conditions
Our research is inspired by the many success stories of children diagnosed with health and developmental conditions whose health has been restored. Our studies are validating this phenomenon in communities across the country and across many different kinds of conditions including autism, ADHD, autoimmune diseases, mood disorders, life-threatening food allergies and more.
We choose not to use the word “cure” because this word depicts human health as binary and static (you are either “sick” or “cured”), whereas human health is a dynamic continuum and is exquisitely responsive to even the most subtle of changes in the environment and one’s surroundings.
