The Presidential Announcement
September 22, 2025, President Trump held a press convention in regards to the potential causes of autism. Shortly beforehand, the press grew to become conscious that Trump would give attention to the hyperlink between Tylenol and autism, ensuing within the nationwide media collectively ridiculing that hyperlink instantly earlier than the press convention.
In that press convention, Trump acknowledged he had felt very strongly about bringing consideration to vaccines and autism for 20 years, that he felt we have been giving too many pictures too rapidly, and that they wanted to be spaced out. There was no cause to present the hepatitis B vaccine previous to youngsters being 12 (which, as I confirmed right here, is true), and Tylenol will increase the chance of autism, so if attainable, it ought to be averted throughout being pregnant, and you shouldn’t give it to infants.
Secretary Kennedy added that some 40% to 70% of moms who’ve youngsters with autism consider a vaccine injured their youngster, and that President Trump believes we ought to be listening to those moms as an alternative of gaslighting them.
Be aware: Regrettably, to indicate they believed in “Science,” pregnant moms started rapidly posting movies of themselves taking massive quantities of Tylenol (which I compiled on 𝕏 right here — together with one tragic overdose1).
Over-the-Counter Ache Administration
Due to how uncomfortable ache is, ache remedies have lengthy been a core market in drugs. Remarkably, nevertheless, most traditional ache therapies have severe points and infrequently lead sufferers to needing increasingly more extreme interventions.
Sometimes, the first-line remedy for ache is an over-the-counter remedy, akin to acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), aspirin, or topical diclofenac (Voltaren gel). Sadly, these medicines all have dose-dependent toxicity and sometimes solely elicit partial enchancment in ache. Many think about NSAIDs (ibuprofen and naproxen) among the many most hazardous medicine within the U.S. as a result of:
• They’re the main reason behind drug-related hospital admissions — Typically on account of coronary heart assaults, strokes, bleeding, and kidney failure2 (e.g., at the very least 107,000 Individuals are admitted to hospitals every year for NSAID GI bleeds).3
• Kidney harm is a big threat — One examine discovered a 20% elevated threat of kidney illness from NSAIDs;4 others discovered as much as 212%.5 Amongst kidney failure sufferers, 65.7% have been discovered to be power NSAID customers.6
• NSAIDs increase cardiovascular dangers — NSAIDs additionally improve the chance of coronary heart assaults and dying (e.g., intensive research have discovered between a 24% to 326% improve7,8,9). Two of the worst ones, Vioxx (Merck)10 and Celebrex (Pfizer),11 have been designed to cut back abdomen bleeding however as an alternative brought on coronary heart assaults and strokes.
Merck hid information on Vioxx’s dangers; finally it was withdrawn after an estimated 120,000 deaths.12 Celebrex, nonetheless in the marketplace, has been linked to 75,000 deaths.13 Merck’s dealing with of Vioxx14 later knowledgeable how pharma pushed the HPV vaccine and mRNA vaccines.15
• Gastrointestinal bleeding is widespread and infrequently deadly — In 1999, over 16,000 Individuals died from it.16 NSAIDs additionally trigger small bowel harm in over 50% of power customers17 — usually undetected — resulting in “small bowel enteropathy” and probably power sickness by way of intestine permeability.18
• They impair therapeutic, particularly of ligaments, creating long-term re-injury threat.19
Be aware: The risks of NSAIDs are mentioned additional right here.
The poor efficacy of OTC ache medicines, together with their important toxicity, was one of many major causes I spent the final 12 months attempting to carry consideration to DMSO, which is dramatically more practical than every other over-the-counter choice (e.g., I compiled intensive literature demonstrating that right here, and have acquired effectively over a thousand reviews from readers saying it produced miraculous enhancements in ache).
Tylenol Toxicity
Tylenol (acetaminophen or paracetamol) is usually thought-about safer than NSAIDs, although it too is commonly ineffective for extreme ache. When metabolized, it produces the metabolite NAPQI (N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine), which is extremely poisonous to liver cells as a result of it irreversibly binds to important mobile proteins.
Sometimes, comparatively little NAPQI is produced and is rapidly neutralized by liver glutathione. Nonetheless, when an excessive amount of Tylenol is taken, the opposite detoxing pathways get saturated, glutathione shops get used up, and fast liver dying from unneutralized NAPQI ensues.
Because of this, Tylenol overuse results in 56,000 ER visits, 2,600 hospitalizations, and 500 deaths yearly in America.20 Moreover, Tylenol has a number of different main points:
• NAPQI can be poisonous to the kidneys, and in 1% to 2% of overdose instances, the kidneys are additionally broken.21
• Quite a few research have linked gastrointestinal unwanted effects to the usage of Tylenol.
• In a single evaluation, Tylenol was discovered to extend the chance of: bleeding or perforated peptic ulcers (+6–121%), coronary heart failure (+9–98%), myocardial infarction (+0–73%), hypertension (+7–62%), and power renal failure (+19–129%).22
• A scientific evaluation recognized information suggesting power Tylenol use elevated blood strain, elevated bronchial asthma (a attainable 15% improve), and brought on a 3.6 to three.7 improve in gastric bleeding.23
• Tylenol has been related to an elevated threat of blood cancers: +16% from low use and +84% from excessive use.24
• In youngsters of moms chronically utilizing Tylenol, a evaluation discovered the next will increase: hyperkinetic dysfunction (+37%), ADHD remedy use (+29%), autism spectrum dysfunction with hyperkinetic signs (+51%), and bronchial asthma in offspring from frequent use in late being pregnant (+110%).25
• A current systematic evaluation of 46 research carried out on the chance of Tylenol throughout being pregnant inflicting neurodevelopmental problems (NDDs) in offspring discovered that almost all of research detected an elevated threat, these of upper high quality have been extra more likely to detect the affiliation, and the rise was dose-dependent.26 The elevated NDDs included autism, ADHD, and different NDDs affecting studying, social/motor abilities, consideration, cognition, feelings, and habits.
Be aware: This examine is arguably essentially the most definitive proof that Tylenol just isn’t secure throughout being pregnant and was the one Trump and RFK’s workforce highlighted at their current vaccine announcement.
All of this led to a slightly peculiar media phenomenon:
Be aware: Quite a few inner paperwork27 and public statements have proven that by 2017, Tylenol’s producer was effectively conscious of the drug’s hyperlink to autism.28
Treating Fevers
A typical hospital process is for nurses to examine sufferers’ important indicators each few hours, and if something is irregular, contact the supervising physician. Considered one of my continuous challenges was telling nurses I didn’t wish to deal with fevers — one thing which medical doctors had diametrically opposed views on, with the bulk desirous to deal with fevers. I used to be fairly astonished to see the pinnacle of the FDA communicate out in opposition to this follow:
• Why will we deal with fevers? — There are just a few justifications for treating fevers:
1. Fevers considerably improve metabolic demand on the physique, inserting extra stress on important organs. In ICU settings the place organ features are compromised, lowering metabolic demand could extend survival — although it’s acknowledged that fevers assist in eliminating infections. There isn’t a clear consensus inside crucial care on how fevers ought to be managed.
Be aware: Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation, a potent remedy for infectious ailments that additionally treats a wide range of different situations and infrequently seems to “re-energize” the physique, as a myriad of poorly functioning methods resume their regular operate throughout a UVBI session. I point out this as one of many major “unwanted effects” of UVBI is that when it eliminates an an infection it is going to usually create a fever.
2. Excessive fevers may cause mind harm. Hyperpyrexia is outlined as a medical emergency,29 with thresholds starting from 105.8°F to 106.7°F. In keeping with Penn State, mind harm typically received’t happen except the fever exceeds 107.6°F.30
3. In youngsters, fevers can typically result in seizures. Nonetheless, a 2017 Cochrane evaluation discovered that fever-reducing medicines present no profit for stopping febrile seizures,31 and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends in opposition to this follow.32
4. To cut back the discomfort of the fever — the first cause most Tylenol is prescribed, although I don’t agree with this strategy.
• Arguments in opposition to treating fevers:
1. Fevers present useful diagnostic details about new or recurring infections.
Be aware: In infants, unexplained fevers over 100° usually warrant a (justified) quick analysis for sepsis — which is one in all many the reason why the (fever-causing) new child hepatitis B vaccine is so problematic.
2. Relapsing fevers characterize sure autoimmune and infectious ailments, so, if a fever is artificially suppressed, the diagnostic sign is misplaced.
3. The physique depends upon fevers to remove sickness, and in some trials, suppressing fevers extends the period of sickness.33
4. As Tylenol has systemic toxicity and reduces liver operate and glutathione (essential to detoxify toxins), this will worsen sure sicknesses or improve the probability a vaccine will trigger autism.
5. Suppressing febrile sicknesses transforms them into extra extreme infections.
Of those, the fifth is the least appreciated and therefore can be expanded upon.
The 1918 Influenza
In December 2019, I grew to become conscious of COVID-19 and have become very fearful that it might trigger severe issues. We spent January and February learning a wide range of assets, together with literature from the 1918 pandemic that supplied crucial insights for treating COVID-19 (and saved the lives of these in our shut circle).
Be aware: I think about the 1918 influenza pandemic one of the lethal and devastating pandemics in historical past. Over 2.5% of these contaminated died34 (with a lot increased charges starting from 12% to 90% in Native American populations).35 Since many of the remedies tried failed, the few that labored have been fairly noteworthy.
All through that literature, many clinicians treating the an infection acknowledged that utilizing aspirin on sufferers’ fevers considerably elevated their threat of dying and that those that had beforehand been handled with aspirin tended to have the poorest response to the therapies, which in any other case labored for the sickness.
Be aware: At the moment, medical doctors routinely used massive aspirin doses that are recognized to be poisonous.36
Since that point, fevers have been acknowledged as critically vital in combating infections. A number of the key pathways embody:37
• Fevers increase the exercise of immune cells like neutrophils, monocytes, and T-cells
• Fevers promote kind I interferon responses that inhibit viral replication
• Fevers set off warmth shock proteins to activate immune defenses
• Fevers work synergistically with stressors like iron deprivation to amplify harm to pathogens
• Fevers gradual pathogen development early, serving to to regulate infections
Throughout COVID, I had a number of conversations with folks the place I suggested them in opposition to suppressing fevers with Tylenol or ibuprofen. Nonetheless, they did anyway, then decompensated and needed to go to the ER. I discovered that heating somebody who was acutely unwell (notably with infrared mats) usually made them really feel considerably higher instantly, and not need fever remedy.
From this, I fashioned the speculation that the discomfort related to fevers outcomes not from the warmth itself, however slightly from the pressure the physique undergoes in attempting to warmth itself.
Smallpox Vaccines
Many have no idea that the anti-vaccination motion originated with the smallpox vaccine, as a result of vaccine often failing to forestall smallpox and severely injuring many recipients (detailed right here).
When the smallpox vaccine was administered, it might usually trigger a big inflammatory pores and skin response. The medical subject noticed that those that the vaccine failed to guard had additionally not developed the attribute pores and skin eruption. As such, they adopted the stance that if the vaccine “didn’t take,” it wanted to be reapplied till the pores and skin eruption occurred.
In distinction, dissident physicians concluded the pores and skin response was a proxy for a functioning immune system, so these the place “it didn’t take” have been the identical individuals who have been more likely to turn into severely unwell from smallpox (therefore making vaccination pointless).
Be aware: A case could be made that this difficulty applies to many different vaccines too.
Moreover, as soon as the vaccine was deployed, many extremely uncommon neurological accidents occurred in these the place the vaccine “didn’t take,” inflicting observers to conclude a scarcity of vitality had allowed the vaccine to “go inward” after which trigger a lot worse power points.
Be aware: Lots of these neurological accidents mirrored what could be seen from blood cells clumping collectively and obstructing blood movement, a standard consequence of vaccination that outcomes from electrical potential shifts within the blood.
Classes from Chinese language Drugs
Chinese language drugs’s 2,000-year written historical past supplies distinctive insights into how humanity’s illness patterns have shifted over time. Notably, the beforehand described idea of microclotting inflicting illness exists inside Chinese language drugs (known as blood stasis), and blood stasis turning into a major reason behind sickness roughly coincides with when the smallpox vaccine was launched to China.
Inside Chinese language drugs, signs fluctuate by how deeply illness has penetrated the physique. Systemic microclotting initially compromises blood movement within the smallest vessels, however because it worsens, bigger clots type that impede medium and finally massive vessels. If the pathogenic issue penetrates deeper, the situation transforms from an acute response to an insidious “latent” power sickness. In flip, to revive well being, Chinese language drugs seeks to expel the pathogenic elements by transferring them to the floor.
Fevers and Most cancers
Anthroposophic drugs, based by Austrian mystic Rudolph Steiner, posits that cancers outcome from a “chilly” state, the place the warming affect of the physique’s bioenergetic subject is diminished. Fevers have been seen as needed for sustaining bioenergetic vitality and immune power. Steiner believed childhood sicknesses that produced fevers have been crucial for permitting each the physique and the immune system to mature. Since Steiner’s time, proof has gathered supporting his speculation:
• Not having a childhood chickenpox an infection will increase the chance of mind most cancers later in life.38,39,40,41
• Not having a mumps an infection will increase the chance of (often lethal) ovarian most cancers.42,43,44
• Earlier infections of influenza, measles, mumps, or chickenpox lower one’s threat of malignant melanoma.45
• Measles and mumps have been noticed to almost halve the probability of getting a coronary heart assault, stroke, or mind bleed.46
In 1891, an American surgeon noticed {that a} affected person with an inoperable sarcoma skilled spontaneous tumor regression after surviving a extreme streptococcal an infection. He concluded that the excessive fever could have cured their most cancers, and created a mix of bacterial endotoxins (Coley’s toxins) which efficiently handled many most cancers sufferers. Nonetheless, as radiation and chemotherapy emerged, his strategy grew to become largely forgotten.
Immediately, a associated strategy — entire physique hyperthermia — has been broadly utilized in Germany for many years, and is now considered as a viable remedy for sure cancers.47
Systemic Suppression
Within the Seventies, a convention was held the place main homeopaths predicted that medical doctors routinely suppressing signs would trigger a world shift from much less extreme to extra extreme sicknesses (cancers), whereas bodily sicknesses could be pushed deeper and changed with psychiatric then non secular illnesses. I by no means forgot that convention as a result of it appropriately predicted the brand new sicknesses that will observe (which included anxiousness, despair, psychopathy, mass shootings, and non secular disconnection).
This prediction mirrored a perception inside many faculties of pure drugs that therapeutic requires transferring deep points to the floor, and that typical drugs as an alternative creates power sickness as a result of the medicines used are suppressive in nature, and by bringing issues inward, rework minor acute reactions into higher long-lasting issues later.
Homeopaths, for instance, map this by way of Hering’s Regulation of Treatment, which states signs enhance from head down, inside out, and in reverse order of emergence.48
Be aware: I’ve seen quite a few instances the place acute sickness grew to become extreme and lifelong after (suppressive) steroids have been reflexively given (notably to deal with the signs of undiagnosed Lyme illness).
Moreover, many consider parallel depth exists inside physique, thoughts, and spirit. When bodily signs are suppressed, extra profound points emerge mentally or spiritually. Likewise, psychiatric medicines, by suppressing the present emotion, usually create deeper psychiatric or non secular points (e.g., antidepressants create attribute responses together with emotional anesthetization and non secular disconnection).
Be aware: An African shaman who visited American psychiatric establishments supplied quite a few compelling examples of this non secular suppression which mirror what I’ve additionally noticed.49
• Suppressive antibiotics — Pure drugs practitioners additionally often noticed antibiotics “treating” acute infections in trade for creating power situations (e.g., Chinese language Drugs describes “Latent Warmth” the place pathogenic elements penetrate with out inflicting obvious signs, incubating and later emerge50).
A consortium of researchers supplied an evidence for this: when micro organism face deadly stressors (notably cell wall-destroying antibiotics), slightly than die, some enter a survival mode and rework into misshapen cell wall-deficient (CWD) micro organism.51
In depth analysis, in flip, reveals that CWD micro organism are present in tissues present process autoimmune assault (because the immune system can inform they’re hiding throughout the cells) and that these micro organism, in some circumstances, can rework again to regular and trigger the beforehand vanquished an infection to recur.52
• Autism and Tylenol — Throughout my pediatric rotations throughout my medical coaching, I noticed instances the place youngsters had vaccine reactions with fever and crying, got Tylenol, then developed extra extreme reactions (e.g., extreme rashes) instantly after the fever disappeared.
Following this, I steadily got here throughout increasingly more instances (e.g., shared by mother and father) the place the response was much more extreme, with the kid creating a everlasting developmental incapacity. I in the end concluded three attainable mechanisms could possibly be at work:
◦These have been direct illustrations of how driving signs inwards creating worse outcomes.
◦Fevers improve blood circulation and scale back clumping, stopping mind harm from vaccine induced microstrokes — suppression removes this safety.
◦Tylenol’s stress on the liver reduces the flexibility to neutralize vaccine toxins, making hurt extra probably.
Conclusion
The proof connecting Tylenol use throughout being pregnant and infancy to autism and different neurodevelopmental problems has turn into more and more tough to disregard. Current systematic opinions of dozens of research have constantly discovered dose-dependent will increase in autism, ADHD, and different developmental points in youngsters whose moms used Tylenol throughout being pregnant.
Nonetheless, the implications lengthen past simply Tylenol and autism. This dialogue highlights a basic downside in fashionable drugs: the reflexive suppression of acute signs could also be reworking manageable, short-term sicknesses into extreme, power situations.
Whether or not by way of fever suppression, overuse of antibiotics that create antibiotic-resistant or dormant bacterial kinds, or the widespread use of steroids and different immunosuppressive medicines, we could also be buying and selling short-term consolation for long-term well being penalties.
Shifting ahead, we want a paradigm shift in how we strategy sickness — one which respects the physique’s innate therapeutic knowledge whereas offering real help throughout acute sicknesses. This implies re-evaluating when symptom suppression is actually needed versus when it might trigger extra hurt than good.
