Aluminum In Humans

A2825B99-8FEB-4982-A2EB-46862E8E1874A few weeks ago, I asked a fellow X'er if he was familiar with UK Professor Christopher Exley's research into aluminium (UK spelling) toxicity. This week, James Lyons-Weiler, PhD also focused on AL, and published all of his own work on aluminum (USA spelling) on his Substack called Popular Rationalism. Metal toxicity has been a hallmark topic of Age of Autism since our inception. Below is a link to Popular Rationalism's aluminum review and a summation of some of our posts about and from Professor Exley.

Join "Mr. Aluminum," a scientist who has made the study of aluminum his life's work, on a journey of discovery, reflection, and the science of aluminum.

Professor Christopher Exley is a firm believer that science is only useful when it is properly communicated. Scientific papers are difficult vehicles for the wider communication of science and thus he has always endeavored to tell the story of his scientific research as widely as possible through myriad blogs, presentations, and interviews. Through a series of easy-reading entries written for non-scientists, Exley will educate readers about his lifelong scientific passion: aluminum. In scientific circles, aluminum—in relation to human health specifically—has gone the way of the dinosaurs (though, unlike dinosaurs, there has not yet been a popular revival!). Yet aluminum is also the greatest untold story of science.

Safeminds: Acetaminophen and Language Delays

Infant tylenolFrom Safeminds. How many of us were told to dose our babies with Tylenol at every well visit? And how many of us would give our lives to only have had our kids suffer a langauge delay? From Safeminds:

Acetaminophen Use in Pregnancy Associated with Language Delays in Toddlers

Each Use of the Pain Reliever in 3rd Trimester Tied to a Two-Word Reduction in Vocabulary

A study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has investigated the link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and language outcomes in early childhood. The findings revealed that increased acetaminophen use, especially in the third trimester, was associated with modest decreases in language development. The study accessed data from the Illinois Kids Development Study involving 298 two-year-old children. Sex-specific associations were observed, with increased acetaminophen use late in pregnancy showing language delays primarily in male children. This research suggests that the second and third trimesters might be critical periods of neurodevelopment sensitive to disruptions by prenatal acetaminophen exposure that could impact auditory structures and pathways essential for language development. The most significant finding demonstrated that each use of acetaminophen in the third trimester was associated with a nearly two-word reduction in vocabulary in two-year-olds. Despite the small sample size, the associations with increased frequency of acetaminophen use and language delays were notable. The study emphasizes the importance of considering the timing and frequency of prenatal acetaminophen use for minor aches and pains when considering language development outcomes for offspring, especially in males.

PART FOUR Autism: Thirty years of lies and cover-up

Big lieNote: This is the final installment of Anne Dachel's Thirty Years series. We're in our 17th year of publication. Many of our readers have adult children with autism in, or approaching, their 30s. Some even older. We must continue to speak our truth - our kids' truth.

Part Three
Part Two
Part One

By Anne Dachel

'We have put our trust in people who don't deserve it and who fail to earn it'

There would be no end to this series if I were to focus on the people in positions of authority who have lied to us about autism over the years. I have written hundreds of stories about the officials and experts whose job it is to protect the health of our children.

In truth, they have used their positions to promote the interests of the pharmaceutical industry—the entity they’re supported to regulate. Very often, after a certain number of years at the CDC or NIH, they’re rewarded with a lucrative position in some branch of pharma for a job well done. 

Their names are familiar to all of us because of the public positions they’ve taken, reassuring concerned parents that vaccines didn’t cause their child’s autism. They get the mainstream news coverage over and over.

Definitely Blessed

Older parentsBy Cathy Jameson

I love our dentist.  She’s a friend of the family and greets us all like we are the biggest superstars on the planet when we see her.  She’s watched my kids grow and has the best compliments for each of them.  When she sees me, she gushes about how beautiful and wonderful a mother I am.  I don’t always feel like a beautiful, wonderful mother, so I tell her I’d love to put her in my back pocket and take her everywhere, especially when I’m having a bad day.  I’d take her out and let her fill me with compliments to help boost my spirits.  It’s a joy to schedule all of our dental appointments because she’s full of positivity every single time I see her.

Except at my appointment last week…

That’s when she shared that another patient of hers, also a mother to an adult child with developmental delays, was experiencing some frustration.  It wasn’t that this other woman’s child wasn’t receiving services.  They are.  It wasn’t that this adult with special needs wasn’t thriving.  She was.  It was that this other mother is aging.  And she’s much closer to the end of life than the beginning.  She carries a heavy worry like so many other mothers carry – when she’s gone, who will take care for her adult child who needs care 24 hours a day 7 days a week?  Her close friends are elderly as well and physically cannot help.  Her younger family members have said they would not help.  I couldn’t speak, not just because my dentist was doing her exam on my teeth, but because I was stunned to hear that this other mother had no family support.    

After the dental exam ended, I said, “That’s why we have to live forever!”  My dentist agreed.  While not an adult child with special needs, she’s helping provide some of the round-the-clock medical care for an elderly family member who lives far away.  We both commiserated at how helpless we sometimes feel when it comes to being physical there to assist extended family.  But we also stated that we’d do whatever we could for them, including from a distance, while we’re still living. 

We talked a bit more, shared a bit more, and she ended the conversation with that positivity I always love to hear.  After telling me about a recent trip home to see her family, she shared, “I’m definitely blessed…” 

I told her that I was, too.

Frightening Parallels

Full MeasureThere's a new documentary called Unseen Crisis about a topic we know all too well. Vaccine Injury. The Covid vaccination campaign opened the eyes of many who had to roll up their sleeves against their better judgement, and often, their will, to work, attend school, and participate in compliant society. Sharyl Attkisson interviewed participants on her program Full Measure. The parallels to autism and vaccine injury are painful reminders for many of us.

###

This interview is about unrecognized damage from the COVID vaccine and the new documentary, Unseen Crisis,

It’s about powerful forces able to censor any challenges to the official narrative.

It is reminiscent of Anecdotals The Movie, released in 2022.

INTERVIEW:

Sharyl Attkisson: The number of people suffering problems after COVID vaccines continues to grow as researchers learn more about how to diagnose and treat the lingering illnesses.

A new documentary, The Unseen Crisis, examines the stories of some who got their shots, doctors vilified when they tried to help, and allegations that the government has long been quietly treating a select few of the injured.

Vaccine injury victim #1: One doctor’s appointment, I just had what seemed like an inflamed wrist, and the next one I was numb up to my back. 

That was the first time the doctor was like, you have a problem way bigger than your wrist. You need to get your brain checked out.

If you have an adult in a day program or an older child still in school, this meme from Open Future Learning will ring true.  What would you add to create a more meaningful, respectful day? I'd add, "Provide materials at an age appropriate level."  If you walked into my daughter's program, you might mistake it for a preschool. I've let them know over and over how frustrating this can be. They've made some effort. Not enough.  That said, I don't mind a logo on the shirt.  If someone sees TROUBLE with my daughters, I want them to be able to report it immediately. Safety first. KIM


No Cause Just A Big Lie

LieBy Anne Dachel

January 14th political economist Toby Rogers, PhD published another incredible piece on the corruption, collusion and cover-up surrounding autism and vaccines.

He called it, The big lie is having a corrosive effect on the minds of the bougiecrats.

The piece got my attention because I’ve written dozens of times over the past 20 year about what I call, “The Really Big Lie about Autism.” (See four examples at the bottom of this post.)

I have a different take on “the really big lie,” meaning that I’ve long said the main lie was the continual denial that more kids actually have autism. No health official in America has ever recognized that this disorder is on the increase. I’m sure if anyone at the CDC even hinted at it, they’d be gone the next day.

This denial is so critical because IF there’s been no real increase, then they can point to bad genes as the cause of autism. Autism has always affected the human race at whatever the latest rate is, we just didn’t realize what it was.

Toby’s brief article points to ANOTHER AUTISM LIE, the denial that vaccines are the cause.

PART THREE Autism: Thirty Years of Lies and Cover-up

LiesWho remembers when Dr. Thomas Insel chose to step out of an elevator rather than ride with an autism Mom and her child at the NAA conference many years ago? Raise your hand, your torch, your pitchfork.

By Anne Dachel

PART THREE Autism: Thirty years of lies and cover-up

Read Part 2 HERE

Read Part 1 HERE.

Thomas Insel 2013

The following is an article I wrote about Dr. Thomas Insel in 2013. Not only was Insel the government’s go-to guy on all things autism, especially testifying before Congress, he was also the MC who controlled the official narrative about autism.

Age of Autism 2013, Dr. Tom Insel on Autism: "If There Is a True Increase.." IF?

For several years now I've been following Dr. Thomas Insel's work as head of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee.  I've also looked at his lectures on autism.

In 2009, Insel spoke at MIT.  He talked about the environment and autism.  He admitted that there were endless possibilities, but he was firm that vaccines had been looked into and they'd been exonerated.

Then in 2010, he spoke for an hour and a half at the National Institutes of Health.  Insel made the stunning statement, "Eighty percent of the people with a diagnosis of autism [in the U.S.] are under the age of eighteen."

In addition, Insel said, We have responded to this as if it's a crisis. We see this as an enormous public health challenge.  If you look at those numbers, the increase and recognize how many of those kids will become adults, we ...also need to be thinking about how we prepare the nation for a million people who may need significant amounts of services as they are no longer cared for by their parents or as their parents are no longer around.

During his talk, he made it clear that better diagnosing could explain only a small portion of the stunning increase in autism.  He pointed to the environment, but was unable to provide any specific answers.  

Then on Dec 26, 2012, Insel put out the piece, Autism Progress, on the NIMH website.

So what does Insel consider progress in the area of autism?  He cited lots of things about the genetics of autism, early diagnosing using brain imaging and early intervention.  He made stunning statements like:

According to PubMed, there were over 1,000 ASD papers related to genetics or brain imaging since January 2011 - more than three times the number of papers from the same interval a decade ago.

He was quick to tell us that he really doesn't know anything about autism's cause: "We still do not know enough about what causes ASD."

He went on to say this:

What about environmental causes? Several environmental factors, such as exposure to air pollution, agricultural pesticides, and antidepressants, have been reported to increase ASD risk, mostly based on exposure during pregnancy. While most scientists assume that environmental factors interact with genetic susceptibility, we still know far too little about either genetic or environmental factors to make this link.

The strongest language I could find in the article was the need for "urgent attention."  He made a clever, but ambiguous comment, "The 1 in 88 figure in 2008 may still fall short of the mark. In the absence of a more complete explanation, as I have said in an earlier blog, the safest assumption is 'more affected not just more detected.'"

Following that he wrote, "If there is a true increase in children affected, what environmental factor or factors are driving this increase?"

"IF"?...Insel still isn't quite sure IF MORE KIDS REALLY TRULY HAVE AUTISM?

Sounding like we have all the time in the world to ponder this issue, Insel wasn't alarmed. Autism isn't a crisis according to this man.

I still can't fathom how he could put the title "Autism Progress" on this piece, deluding himself into believing that there's actually been any. 

The latest piece I've found from Insel, dated Feb 26, 2013, is nothing short of bizarre as shown by the title,  The Four Kingdoms of Autism. 

Insel finds autism frustrating. It seems to bother him that the autism community has so little consensus on anything and that there's so much "polarization and confusion around autism." (Which Insel doesn't seem to realize comes from the fact that the medical community can't tell us anything definite about the disorder.) 

According to Insel's overview, the divisions over autism are like "kingdoms."  Insel wrote, "Each [kingdom] has its own truths. And each too often fails to understand or even recognize that their truths may not apply to all kingdoms." 

The kingdoms are Illness, Identity, Injury, and Insight.  Their views of autism range from seeing autism as merely an example of neurodiversity to parents who see autism as vaccine injury. 

In Insel's view, there's no single answer about autism.

Insel summarized his perspective:

At different times and for different people, each of these kingdoms has something to offer. We need better diagnostics and treatments; we need better services, especially for adults; we need a strategy for prevention; and we need a deeper understanding of the social brain. As long as each kingdom stays behind its own walls, there is little hope for progress overall.

Insel believes that none of the Four Kingdoms of Autism has the complete truth about autism.

Insel seems to be saying, can't we all just get along?  Can't we all just agree on something? 

With a puzzling lack of concern over the cause of autism, he advocated for services.

 A better way forward will be to find some common ground where the entire community can work together. One such area is the need for better services. Clinicians, self-advocates, parents, scientists, and educators should be able to embrace a goal of ensuring that every person on the spectrum, irrespective of wealth, geography, or ethnicity, receives the best treatments and services.

Insel also made a passing reference about the next approaching segment of the autism nightmare.

The challenge only becomes more complex when children with autism become adults with autism. There are over 1 million parents of Americans with autism-nearly all worried about how their offspring will be cared for if he or she outlives them.

Finally, Insel chided us about our inaction on autism.

Fifty years from now we don't want to look back at this period and wonder why we stayed so long behind these kingdoms' respective bastions, empowering conflict rather than cooperation. Instead, by focusing now on both short term needs and long term solutions we need a collective commitment to science and service to improve the world for both children and adults on the spectrum.

It was stunning to read Insel's views and consider that this man is supposed to be addressing autism in the U.S.  He's the head of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee created by Congress and he can't tell us anything.  Where's his indignation over the years of pathetic inaction? 

Insel said this about the Injury Kingdom:

This kingdom was founded by parents who report marked regression after the 18-month vaccination series, when their previously interactive, communicative toddler withdraws and stops speaking. While epidemiological studies do not support a link between vaccination and autism, those convinced that autism is an injury argue that population studies may obscure a link in rare individual cases.

Insel trivialized regressive autism and omitted any mention of the fact that it's been discovered that U.S. government has quietly compensated over 80 cases of vaccine injury that included autism, along with the concession in the case of Hannah Poling.

"Fifty years from now..." 

Fifty years from now we will be living in a society where autism affects the entire population.  It won't be a childhood illness any longer. It'll be a fact of life for a large segment of the population.  We won't have the luxury of speculating on the kingdoms of autism.  There will be one Kingdom of Autism---Bankrupting Cost. 

We will be faced with providing for a never ending population of disabled Americans that we can't explain.  A significant portion of them will never be productive.  We'll all be paying to support them.  They will drain the financial resources of our society.  I can't imagine what autism is going to cost this nation. 

Fifty years from now, Americans caught in the autism nightmare will ask how it could possibly have gotten so bad with authorities doing nothing to stop it.  The abysmal inaction of those we called experts will be seen as outrageous and incomprehensible.

The truth is Insel has omitted the kingdom where he finds himself.  There is a Fifth Kingdom of Autism.  It's called Denial and Cover-up. 

I asked Louis Conte, father of triple boys, two of whom have autism, for his opinion of Thomas Insel.  Here's his response:

Dr. Insel clearly sees divisions within the autism community and has done nothing to address them. His insights do nothing that help people with autism.  He continues to be vague about a true increase in the number of affected children. No increase in autism, no autism crisis and therefore no need to do anything extraordinary about it.

Personally, I would be camped out in the Kingdom called "Injury." I think that children who have suffered brain damage as a result of vaccine injuries (and, yes, other environmental insults) often develop the symptoms of the behavioral disorder called autism. My thoughts on this are supported by the many cases of vaccine injury induced brain damage that the US Government (HRSA) has compensated in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP).

We need to look at regressive autism.  What happened to these children is important. As Dr. Bernadine Healey stated five years ago, we must study the children who got sick.

The population of vaccine injured children compensated by the US Government represents an important data set that could provide invaluable insight into how autism (and other health conditions) occurs after brain damage. The information regarding these individuals is critical to understanding how autism develops. Is there a vulnerable sub-set of children? What can we learn from these children? There are dozens of important questions.

But we never get to study them because our government is keeping what it knows away from public view. Given the increase in autism, keeping this information shuttered away amounts to negligence and cover-up.

Dr. Insel should be leading the call to study the children who got sick - not just noting that divisions exist within the autism community. Imagine if President Kennedy went to Berlin and simply said "Hey, Berlin, you guys got a big wall there." Imagine if President Reagan said "Nice wall Mr. Gorbachev."

Mr. Insel, tear down the wall. Ask the tough questions.

Anne Dachel is Media Editor for Age of Autism.

Perspective

Sister and brotherBy Cathy Jameson

Ronan’s younger brother has been home on his college break since mid-December.  It’s been a big blessing to have him home.  Besides having our family feeling a little more complete, with some hiccups in my caregivers’ schedules, Willem could quickly jump in and provide care to Ronan while I went to work.  I didn’t like having to task my younger son to watch my older son on those days, but Willem would tell me it was okay.  He hadn’t made too many plans over the break, so he had the time. 

I appreciated his honesty and also his availability. 

Each of my children have a unique relationship with Ronan.  The girls are loving, kind, and will do anything for him.  Willem is also loving, kind and will do anything for him.  But Willem does other things, more brotherly things that you might see all sorts of other brothers doing.  He likes to egg Ronan on to do rough and tumble playing.  He gets Ronan up more to dance with him and to play fight with him.  He pushes Ronan higher in the swing than I would, and he pushes Ronan faster in the adaptive stroller, too.  With his delays, Ronan doesn’t always respond to the people he’s with, even to the fun stuff.  But that doesn’t stop the little brother from wanting to be with the older, developmentally delayed, silent brother.  Sometimes, the lack of an immediate response makes Willem want to do more – to encourage Ronan, to interact with him, and to do things others easily would’ve given up on.  With Willem in college now, I have loved the extra time the brothers have had together this past month. 

The only time Willem shared a tiny hint of disappointment while he was home was when I came back from work and found out that Ronan had been a rotten pickle to his little brother.  “Mom, I tried to feed him his lunch and he wouldn’t take a bite.  I tried to take him to the bathroom, but he signed no, no, no.  I knew he needed to go, so I approached him a different way.  I got him to come with me to the bathroom, and as soon as he sat on the toilet, of course he peed.”  I could hear some frustration in his voice, and I felt terrible that I’d tasked him with this personal care.  My kids can handle the type of care their brother requires, but they, like us, need a break from some of it.  I told him, “I’m sorry your brother was being a pill.  Please plan something with your friends who are also home on break.  I want you to enjoy the last few days before you head back to school.”  Willem told me he was fine, that he knew Ronan didn’t mean to be difficult.  But I still wanted him to get out of the house and to enjoy the company of friends. 

So, he did.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong? British Government & World Economic Forum plan to replace clinical trials with AI projections

C5A0FDAF-52DC-4D0A-A089-3922112970D7Using AI for Clinical Trials

By John Stone
 
Five years ago the British Government announced a collaboration with the then little talked about World Economic Forum to research innovative methods of regulation. It is not exactly clear what administrative or financial role the WEF play in this project but in practice the UK Department of Business awards bursaries to research various futuristic concepts. Projects were announced in 2021 and 2022 among the craziest being:

Project led by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)

Project name: Using High-fidelity Synthetic Data as synthetic control arms and to boost sample sizes in clinical trials
Project grant: £750,387

Project overview

Clinical trials are a critical part of how new medicines are tested before use in the NHS to improve patient care and wellbeing. In standard clinical trials, patients are either given a treatment or not by random selection. This can be challenging in some health conditions, as random assignment to a control group could deny patients access to treatments that could extend their life or improve symptoms. Many clinical trials also find it difficult to recruit enough patients, particularly those investigating rare diseases.

Recent improvements in computing power have allowed researchers to create artificial patients, with similar health information to real patients in clinical trials. This artificial data could help to ‘boost’ smaller clinical trials, lessening the number of patients needed to be successful. Artificially generated information could also be used to better reflect groups in society that are less well represented in clinical trials, including different age groups and ethnicities.

This project will focus on the use of computer-generated data to help boost small clinical trials, and to see if this can improve the value of these trials. Following this, we will create an entirely artificial control group for a clinical trial. In the future, these approaches could be combined with, or even replace, real patient information. Success in this project could help to change the way clinical trials are performed in common and rare diseases, lowering their cost and improving how new treatments are tested before they are applied in the NHS.

Against a background where the WEF, WHO and the British government propose to have a new “vaccine” ready within 100 days of their expected new pandemic this is presumably how they would model the safety and effectiveness of a product with few or no trial participants. Weep.

New Substack Euripides To Take Readers Back to the Wakefield Case

Listen and learn typewriterDear AofA readers. For many years, one of our main focuses was the excoriation of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, author of Ileal-lymphoid-nodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and
pervasive developmental disorder in children. You can read John Stone's first AofA piece from November 20, 2008 titled,  A Political Trial in LondonIn early 2004 the media campaign against Andrew Wakefield was gathering pace. In particular, the London Times and Guardian newspapers were increasingly peppered with sarcastic comments  about Wakefield and the MMR-autism theory, mostly coming from people with no direct knowledge of the science  – but who nevertheless felt the spontaneous need to offer an opinion. 

Wakefield was a brilliant, caring, young British Gastroenterologist. His medical career and reputation were sacked more times than Zappe in the Patriot's game last Sunday for putting forth a hypothesis (the bedrock of science) that involved the MMR vaccine. It's critical that what happened to him is never forgotten in the current narrative regarding vaccination. Dr. Wakefield NEVER gave up trying to help children with autism and GI problems. We will never forget his courage.

There is a new Substack called "Euripides," whose author we know well. This Substack will document the Wakefield case for a new generation. We invite you to check it out:

The series documents the deliberate elaborate intentional and systematic fabrications perpetrated by three editors of the British Medical Journal in 2011. These editors publicly accused a doctor, Andrew Wakefield, of committing fraud in a scientific paper published in the Lancet medical journal which implicated the MMR vaccine in causing autism in children.

Five short introductory videos give a comprehensive overview free of charge without a paid subscription.

The full video series available to subscribers provides a detailed account of the history and background and what was done in each of the eight steps. You will also get detailed evidence with quotes from the medical records of the children concerned. The anonymised medical records were read out in public in legal proceedings in England.

AI Test Examining Retinas Correctly Identifies 100% of Cases of Autism

Giant blue eyeAI Test Examining Retinas Correctly Identifies 100% of Cases of Autism

Note:  We've had almost 20 years of "Learn the signs" asking pediatricians & parents to recognize autism in toddlers and young children. To what avail? Now, AI enters the picture. We'd still ask WHAT CHANGED THE RETINA?  Surely we don't have a growing group with genetically "different" retinas? You might remember Dr. Andrew Moulden who focused on the eyes of autistic children. Many of us have used vision therapy.  If this is an accurate test, does the change stay into adulthood? And could this tamp down self-diagnosis?  Thank you to Safeminds for the article summary.

AI Test Examining Retinas Correctly Identifies 100% of Cases of Autism

Application Also Accurately Determined the Severity of ASD Symptoms between 48% to 66% of the Time

A Korean study has discovered that an artificial intelligence (AI) system can correctly identify children with autism by examining images of their retinas. This recent research found that the optic disc area is a significant region for ASD screening and that retinal alterations could be a potential biomarker for the disorder.

30 Years of Autism Epidemic: Part 2

LiesBy Anne Dachel

Read Part "Thirty Years of Lies" 1 HERE.

It’s hard to understand how autism could become the childhood epidemic that it is without anyone in charge being alarmed. Maybe it was the slow growth over the past 25 years from one in 250 to today’s one in 36 that conditioned us to accept autism as normal. Maybe it was all the officials and experts who denied any real increase while scratching their collective heads over the cause of autism.

In a number of instances very critical information about autism was revealed and quickly covered up and ignored.

Over the years thousands of parents and experts have descended on Washington D.C. for rallies and speeches which caused only a temporary ripple. Immediately after, the vast majority of elected officials continued to ignore what was happening.

There have also been many congressional hearings on autism. They should have spiked interest, but sadly, after the proceedings, everybody just went home.

Back in April, 2007, there was a hearing about autism held by the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee chaired by Senator Tom Harkin.

Thomas Insel, M.D., director of the National Institute of Mental Health and chairman of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC), was there to testify. 

This is what he had to say about the rate of autism. 

"It is unclear whether the rise in prevalence is due to a rise in incidence, better identification and awareness of the disorder, or both.  A similar increase in prevalence has been observed in many countries outside of the U.S., and in virtually every study, boys are three to four times as likely to have ASDs compared to girls."

1986 Was As Important as 1984 Learn Why on the Highwire Interview with Barbara Loe Fisher

The highwire barb loe fisherDuring 2024, we're going to share the history of the vaccine injury, autism epidemic community with our readers. We have a deep reservoir of content from our launch in 2007. Fortunately, many leaders in our community are educating a new generation on the troubling start to the runaway pediatric vaccination schedule that has stood as the foundation for the push for lifetime vaccinations. Del Bigtree interviewed Barbara Loe Fisher, whose pioneering fight for vaccine safety after her own son has paved the road for so many. Visit her site National Vaccine Injury Center to learn more.

WATCH THE INTERVIEW HERE

From The Highwire:  In 1986, President Ronald Reagan signed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act into Law, inadvertently setting the table for the pharmaceutical industry to become the most influential industry on earth. But that isn’t the whole story. Barbara Loe Fisher, a pioneer of the Vaccine Injury Awareness movement, was at the table, fighting for families and children as this controversial law took form. Listen to Barbara as she tells the untold story of the 1986 Act and how it came to be. Learn the betrayal that paved the way for vaccine manufacturers to secure immunity from liability for their products, opening the door for the complete capture of the agencies charged with regulating the vaccine industry and protecting the public trust. This is 1986: The Untold Story.

Mission Possible

Hope and futureBy Cathy Jameson

I booked our airline tickets months ago.  With how crazy the world has been, I made sure to buy insurance.  We’ve had to cancel trips before due to illness.  It’s something we hate to have to do, but the insurance has helped us be able to rebook a trip when one of us is sick.  A week or so before our trip, I thought I may have to use it.  I couldn’t stop coughing.  I had no fever, no drippy nose, and no other symptoms for weeks.  Whatever I’d caught before Thanksgiving, though, caused a bunch of congestion to linger in my lungs. 

No way did I want to be that person on a plane cough, cough, coughing across the country. 

If it didn’t clear up, I was considering canceling our Christmas plans.   

Cj ronan airplane

Thankfully, I didn’t have to do that. 

On our way home from our trip west, I sat back and smiled.  The coughing had finally subsided, and we had a wonderful seven days away with family at Christmas.  Like before, Ronan traveled like a champ.  He even went – and stayed – at Mass with us!  We’d packed in a few busy days while we were away, and we made sure to enjoy some quiet stay-home days also.  The times the kids wanted to do more, Ronan and I stayed behind and rested.  Knowing Ronan’s needs can be great, our hostess gave us whatever time and space we needed.  It was a joy to be able to get away from it all, and we didn’t want our visit there or our vacation to end.  It was time, though. 

So last Friday, we packed, prepped, and pushed on. 

It can be quite a production when all 7 of us are traveling, but there’s also quite a bit of excitement, too. 

Even so, I was looking forward to sitting and relaxing on the return trip. 

Settled in one of the last rows of a very full flight, I had almost five hours to just sit.  To relax.  To enjoy whatever movie I wanted.  But first, I wanted to rest.  We’d be landing at midnight and getting back home close to 2am.  Knowing Ronan, he’d be up way too early, much earlier than the rest of us.  I needed a nap just thinking about how much of a jolt our first morning home could be.

Reviewing Editor: James Lyons-Weiler, PhD, Editor-in-Chief

Abstract

As the rates of diagnosed autism spectrum disorders (ASD) reach unprecedented levels, numerous analyses have attempted to model, quantify, and forecast the societal cost of ASD at the country level. These forecast models focus on costs by category and over the lifespan, but place far less emphasis on the effect of rising ASD rates on societal costs over time. Most models make the unsupported assumption that rates have remained constant. As a result, these models obscure understanding and suppress awareness of the most urgent societal issues that surround rising ASD prevalence. Furthermore, they overstate the current costs incurred for the population of adults with ASD, while simultaneously and dramatically underestimating the magnitude of future costs as the ASD population increases. The cost of ASD in the U.S. is estimated here using a forecast model that for the first time accounts for the true historical increase in ASD. Model inputs include ASD prevalence, census population projections, six cost categories, ten age brackets, inflation projections, and three future prevalence scenarios. Current ASD costs are somewhat lower and projected future costs are much higher than other societal cost of autism models. In this model, total base-case costs of $223 (175–271) billion/year are estimated in 2020; $589 billion/year in 2030, $1.36 trillion/year in 2040, and $5.54 (4.29–6.78) trillion/year by 2060, with substantial potential savings through ASD prevention via identifying and better regulating environmental factors that increase autism risk. This tsunami of rapidly increasing costs raises pressing policy questions. Rising prevalence, the shift from child to adult-dominated costs, the transfer of costs from parents onto government, and the soaring total costs demand an urgent focus on prevention strategies.

Potential Modifiable Risk: Metals and Autism

Pick-your-poison-sampleWhat a phrase! "Potential modifiable risk..." We'd call it, "POISON." Below is a summary from SafeMinds regarding our oldest topic, autism and heavy metals. Mercury gets a...mention. It's almost like seeing an old friend, named Nemesis.

In-Utero Exposure to Heavy Metals Linked to Autism and Atypical Neurodevelopment

January 01, 2024

Cadmium and Cesium Shown to Be Particularly Problematic to Development

Researchers from several American universities, including the MIND Institute, have recently measured maternal urinary metal levels during two different time points in pregnancy. The research team then examined the relationship between these levels and their influence on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or non-typical development in offspring at age 3. This study recruited mothers of children with clinically confirmed ASD who were early in a subsequent pregnancy or were trying to become pregnant. These mothers came from either the Early Autism Risk Longitudinal Investigation (EARLI) or the Markers of Autism Risk in Babies Learning Early Signs (MARBLES) studies. After analyzing the data, the authors discovered that prenatal exposure to metals, especially cadmium, increased the risk of atypical neurodevelopment in offspring. The team also found that cesium exposure was related to atypical neurodevelopment, with consistency across ASD and non-typical development outcomes and time points. The study concluded that public health measures to reduce exposure to heavy metals during pregnancy could be an important preventative strategy for mitigating neurodevelopmental disorders in children. However, the authors also determined that more extensive longitudinal studies are needed to confirm their findings.

30 Years of Lies: Part One

LieBy Anne Dachel

For at least the last 30 years we’ve been lied to about autism.

I’ve been writing about it for around 20 years, so I’m pretty familiar with all of it.

Of course I’m not alone. There’s a multitude of people who’ve been doing the exact same thing. I know many of them personally.

After several decades of hearing the official fraudulent claims, the general public has pretty much accepted the autism cover-up, after all, why would members of the medical community, federal health officials and the media all be lying to us?

Here’s the scenario

About thirty years ago, as the autism numbers began to climb, there seemed to be a genuine interest in what was happening.

In the early 2000s, there were congressional hearings looking at the increase in autism and what might be causing it. I know people who testified in Washington.

Early on the biggest concern was over a possible link to the ever-expanding childhood vaccine schedule which had tripled in the years following the passage of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. This act removed liability from the vaccine manufacturers (and from doctors) for any damage their products may cause.

The vaccine industry and their loyal subjects at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were right there to assure that vaccines are safe, vaccines save lives, and there was no possible link to autism in children. They manufactured convenient population studies “showing no link” and ignored the mounting piles of research tying an unsafe, unchecked, toxin-laden vaccine schedule to neurological damage in children.

A Brilliant Strategy

The best way to counter any connection to vaccines was to promote the idea that autism is nothing new. It has always been a part of the human condition; we just didn’t call it autism.

IF that claim could take hold in the mind of the public, then the increase in the number of vaccines children were getting would be totally unrelated.

Age Of Autism Reality Welcomes 2024

36F5291B-F5FE-4267-A0AB-A717B6893432I saw, and FIXED, this meme: "Autism is not a problem. Stop trying to solve my existence." It was on Twitter/X last week and I added, "not a problem...for me." My RT message was: “Stop trying to deny others’ existence.” But therein  lies the rub. Maybe this person doesn't have autism but took comfort in the “difference” rhetoric and can not see the plight of the broader, medically diagnosed autism community. Maybe he or she or they does indeed have autism, and struggles to comprehend the actual difference in others. Or, Ed, as I’ll call Mr. "Emergent Divergence" could be a garden variety jerk. No matter. At Age of Autism, our mission to shine a light on the man made epidemic continues into 2024.  Our 1990s kids are well into adulthood and little ones are still being diagnosed every day.

The Defender: Judge Refuses to Hear Expert Testimony on Tylenol Link to Autism, ADHD

Judge Refuses to Hear Expert Testimony on Tylenol Link to Autism, ADHD

The 440 lawsuits brought against Tylenol and generic acetaminophen manufacturers do not have “admissible evidence” to show that prenatal exposure to the medication can lead to autism spectrum disorder or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, a federal judge ruled this week.

By 

Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.

The 440 lawsuits brought against Tylenol and generic acetaminophen manufacturers do not have “admissible evidence” to show that prenatal exposure to the medication can lead to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a federal judge ruled this week.

The news comes as a blow to the hundreds of families who filed lawsuits alleging their child developed ASD and/or ADHD as a result of the mother taking acetaminophen during the pregnancy.

U.S. District Judge Denise Cote in the Southern District of New York, who is presiding over the cases, in her 148-page opinion wrote that, in the absence of admissible evidence, the District Court will not hear the plaintiff’s expert testimony.

The ruling “effectively kills” the consolidation of lawsuits, Bloomberg reported. The Defender asked lawyers with four of the main firms handling the cases for comment, but they did not respond by our publication deadline.

The lawsuits allege retailers, including Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and others, falsely advertised products that contain acetaminophen as being safe for pregnant women and did not warn them about the risks posed to fetal development.

Johnson & Johnson’s former consumer health unit, now a separate company called Kenvue, told Reuters in a statement it will move to dismiss the lawsuits in light of the ruling. Johnson & Johnson, the original maker of the Tylenol brand, was not named in the suits. Read more here:

Filling School Positions Becoming As Difficult as Day Programs and Group Homes

Abadnonned schoolShort version of Anne's article? No one wants to work with children or adults with behaviors. The elderly are different because they can be chemically restrained, are weaker and more compliant. Our kids are strong. Our teens are stronger. Our adults can be dangerous if (when) they have behaviors. A BCBA in my circle had her orbital (eye socket) bones shattered by a sucker punch out of the blue during an outing with client who had not shown aggression for many months. Paras, day & group home staff are NOT entry level jobs. Except they are. They require training. Experience. Knowledge. And commensurate pay.

By Anne Dachel

A good example of how fast our education system is going down came out on December 19th.

It was from the local NPR/PBS station in Athens, Ohio.

The title didn’t sound too concerning. It was, “Athens schools need more help in the classroom, but job candidates are proving hard to find .”

I’m sure many people didn’t go beyond the headline.

IF a reader did look into the story, there was a lot of news to worry about.

First of all, the local school district can’t get classroom aides to meet the needs of the growing special needs population.

The Athens school district is trying to hire more professionals to support students with special needs, but it isn’t getting many applicants.

The additional hires are needed because of the number of students who have fallen behind or have behavioral challenges, or both.

In the middle of the report was this incredible statement: 

For example, the number of second and third graders on an individualized education program, or IEP, is over 25 percent.

The district needs more “intervention specialists” and “paraprofessionals,” but it’s not because there are so many students with learning problems.

No, what’s wrong here is BEHAVIOR.

Twas the night before Christmas, to our readers we say

Thank you kindly for logging on every day.

Your comments were written with keen thought and care

In hopes that we'd publish them and not put them "there."

CHD and thee, the science expose

Fauci’s world of pharma and how it all goes

And Kim in her office (so close to the stove)

Baked up post after post, and some cookies with clove

The stories keep coming - vaccines that did shatter

We ask every day, "Will our voices soon matter?"

Parents who tell us their toddlers did crash

As doctors and media continue to bash

The stories are true, oh this much we know

To special ed and Dayhab our children will go

The push back from pharma has become very clear

We ask you what is it that they have to fear?

They know that they broke so many hearts

With a needle they said was "to do your part"

They say we are looking for someone to blame

Where is their conscience, their care and their shame?

Saint Fauci, then Trump, now Biden! “Vax thrice!”

Media chastises, "Just roll the dice!"

To the CDC command! You must heed our call!

Now vaccinate! Vaccinate! Vaccinate all!

As leaves before the wild hurricane fly

Some will take sick. Some will die.

So then every day, we and our friends

We will not sleep until the epidemic ends

With Skyhorse and all those who stand our ground

Our goal is the same:  Choice all around

The Kennedy Beacon: Since When Does the AP Produce Hit Pieces?

Hit pieceThe Kennedy Beacon has published a three part series Since When Does the Associated Press (AP) Produce Hit Pieces? We'll excerpt the first piece and link to the other two below. Imagine what Age of Autism C0-founder and Publisher Emeritus Dan Olmsted would think of what has happened to AP, the once straight forward newswire organization that competed with Dan's own UPI? We run the series not as an endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s Presidential campaign, but as a reminder of what pharma can and HAS done throughout the years to protect itself.  And how it has co-opted the media, Universities, Medical Systems and the US Government. You can read The Kennedy Beacon FOR FREE daily.

Since When Does the Associated Press (AP) Produce Hit Pieces? (Part of 1 of 3)

By Nikos Biggs-Chiropolos, The Kennedy Beacon

Note: This is the first in a series of articles The Kennedy Beacon is publishing on three consecutive days. Together, they examine how, nine days after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his intention to run for president as an independent, the once-reputable Associated Press (AP) constructed a hit piece against the candidate that has all the hallmarks of Big Pharma dictating the method and line of attack. Our first article, below, examines the claims of the hit piece; the second investigates Big Pharma’s fingerprints on the original story; and the third reveals the financial/political conflicts of the authors, the AP’s leadership, and the organization as a whole.

As a presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is the subject of all kinds of coverage – some positive, and much negative. One of the latest articles about him, from the Associated Press, reads like an opinion piece while being presented and distributed as if it were a news story. What can only be described as surprisingly sloppy, biased journalism reveals much about the media strategies that are being employed and coordinated to discredit Kennedy’s candidacy. 

The article, titled “RFK Jr. spent years stoking fear and mistrust of vaccines. These people were hurt by his work,” makes an incoherent and speculative argument that Kennedy’s work addressing vaccine safety has directly harmed people. Examples range from the use of pictures in a book for which Kennedy wrote the foreword, to a measles outbreak in Samoa that occurred months after he had visited the Polynesian island country. The latter accusation will be most closely examined in this article.

According to the AP’s allegations, these anecdotes prove that Kennedy somehow profits from spreading “misinformation” and harming people in the process, yet the article never establishes physical harm or causation. Notably, the article does not mention the numerous correct claims that Kennedy has made questioning medical paradigms, especially regarding the COVID-19 pandemic response, from which the pharmaceutical industry has made record profits. The article also ignores the great personal cost Kennedy has paid for challenging the safety record of vaccine manufacturers.

The article was released on October 18, soon after Kennedy received buzz in the mainstream media for becoming an independent presidential candidate. Analyzing the piece leads us to conclude that its goal was to smear his candidacy. It does not present the type of unbiased, investigative reporting that the AP is generally known for conducting. It also ignores the financial incentive for pharmaceutical companies to smear Kennedy’s claims about them, and Big Pharma’s potential reach in controlling what the media says about him.

The Article’s Impact

The AP piece was re-published by numerous small newspapers around the country, as well as by major news outlets, including ABC News and The Independent, on the same day that it was published on the AP’s website. Such re-publication is quite common for AP content, since it is one of the biggest and most well-funded news agencies in the world and therefore can send reporters to places that smaller outlets cannot; in turn, subscribing outlets share AP stories to increase their reach.

While the AP sharing its on-the-ground reporting of breaking news with smaller outlets is standard journalistic practice, its commissioning of biased takedown pieces like this one, to be republished in places ranging from ABC News to Idaho’s Magic Valley Times-News, is not. The AP article’s distribution was likely much wider than that of other recent hit pieces on Kennedy, in publications such as The New York Times and Vanity Fair, since their content is not distributed. The article was shared in countless other publications as if it were a news story, though clearly it is not.

What Is the AP and Why this Article?

The AP was established in 1846 when New York newspapers joined forces to cover the Mexican-American War. Today, it produces news reports for news agencies around the world, being republished by more than 1,300 newspapers and broadcasters and having offices in 99 countries. The AP has produced an influential style guide and runs polls for sports and elections. It has received over 50 Pulitzer Prizes for reporting. Broadcasters pay a fee for access to AP content. Thus, while no news can be completely unbiased, the AP’s model has been to stick to facts, and usually it does not publish editorial narratives. So why does this piece on Kennedy take such a blatant stand against him?

In “Mass Media: A History,” James Corbett points out that historically, because news wire services could transmit information around the world almost instantly, the owners of these services had enormous influence on what information was available for the world to consume. Today, as one of the oldest and most established media outlets in the world, the AP controls many wire services and thus, as noted by Agility PR, has one of the most influential positions for spreading news around the country and the world.

Never Mind What's Under The Kilt: Scotland Special Education

Scottish PECSThere isn't enough single malt Scotch in the world to make these numbers disappear. Special Education is devouring the UK.

By Anne Dachel

(UK) Scotland: 36.7% of students have special needs; up from 34.2% in Dec '22

The increases show no sign of slowing down

Let me update readers on just how quickly things have gone downhill in Scotland.

Here are the official statistics

Scotland: Percentage of students with “additional support needs”

2019—30.9%

2020—32.3%

2022—34.2%’

2023—36.7%

These numbers come out in December, and I  hate to think what next year will show.

What if this trend continues?

This should be a national emergency in Scotland. Image what the future will be like.

What if there is a two percent increase every year? By 2030 or even sooner, half of all schoolchildren in Scotland will need additional support.

Protective Instinct Bred Out

Blind faithLast week, I commented on an issue on "X" with the following: Morning. Many have had their protective instinct bred out of them by Children’s Services, pediatricians, schools. It’s safer & cooler to say “yes” to everything. Toby Rogers ran an article on his Utobian Substack that follows the very same track. "Self-preservation is the most fundamental instinct. The urge to protect your children from harm is an even greater impulse, imbuing parents, particularly mothers, with superhuman powers to confront aggressors." How is it that people are so willing to put themselves and worse, THEIR CHILDREN, in harm's way?

The Horrordumbor Civil society has descended into madness

We are living in the most horrifying era in human history:

  • During the time of King Herod, parents knew to hide their children or flee (because of course — the King wanted to kill them).
  • During the Holodomor, the Ukrainians knew they were being starved by the Soviet communists and those who could fled or fought back.
  • During the rise of National Socialism, the Frank family knew they had to flee Germany and later hide from the fascists marching through the streets of Holland.

Now people just watch TV, absorb endless propaganda 24/7/365, and drive themselves and their families to their genocide appointments. They feel great about the people poisoning them as they get sicker and sicker, all wealth drains out of their extended family into the pockets of their tormentors, their bodies and minds deteriorate, and they eventually perish.

Self-preservation is the most fundamental instinct. The urge to protect your children from harm is an even greater impulse, imbuing parents, particularly mothers, with superhuman powers to confront aggressors. Yet for a huge percentage of the American people that’s all gone now. We live in a nation of zombies who go from watching TV on their couch to Taco Bell to the doctor’s office for more poison and then repeat the cycle all over again. (Or they go from listening to NPR to bicycling to work at a nonprofit to eating a kale salad before stopping by the doctor’s office for more poison and then repeat the cycle all over again.)

I just want to take a moment to note how profoundly strange and unprecedented this all is.

The Ghost of Christmas Future for Autism is Grim

FutureScroogeBy Anne Dachel

A story aired on December 13th on Channel 4 News, London is a warning for everyone in the U.K.

The title mentioned thousands disabled with autism, but it actually only reported on one 28 year old man with severe autism.

Thousands with autism and learning disabilities stuck in mental health hospitals 

More than 2,000 people with autism and learning disabilities are stuck in mental health hospitals across England, despite repeated Government promises to end the practice.

Last month we reported on Nicholas Thornton – who’s been moved to around a dozen inappropriate settings: a safeguarding report on his care shows how poor it’s been.

Our Health and Social Care Editor Victoria Macdonald caught up with him – and a warning her report contains details and images some viewers may find distressing.

I transcribed the news report because it was so concerning to me for one reason.

In the report about this young man in Essex with autism who is being so neglected and mistreated, we’re told, “Nicholas’s care is commissioned by the Essex County Council.”

VIDEO: Nicholas Thornton on a day out in the summer with his mother and brother.  He’s a 28 year old man with autism and learning difficulties, who is currently an inpatient at Rochford Mental Health Unit in Essex, despite having no diagnosed mental health problem. 

He is non-verbal but is able to reply by typing.

When we met them in August, his brother Sebastian read out his words.

It’s like torture that I can’t get away from the alarms and everything.

To You

Happy 21By Cathy Jameson

One Easter Sunday many years ago, the weather was still chilly enough to light a fire in our outdoor fire pit and make s’mores.  The kids helped gather small sticks to burn as I began the clean up from dinner.  I didn’t get too much done before I heard the kids calling for me, “Mommy!  Mommy!  You’re going to miss lighting the fire!”  My husband makes a Swedish candle with the children watching safely from a distance.  Not wanting me to miss the lighting of it, I stopped what I was doing and went outside.  Ronan didn’t want to join us yet, so he stayed inside with his movie.  I’m glad I didn’t miss the early evening fire.  It was a beautiful sight, and it made for a great memory. Cj fire

Something even more memorable happened that evening.  Ronan got a hold of one of the drinks that had been left out after dinner.  Thankfully it was only the last few sips.  But still.  When we discovered what he’d done, our eyes grew big.  Our minds raced.  Our hearts pounded.  RONAN!  You didn’t?!  He signed ‘yes’ that he did.  We watched Ronan like a hawk for hours afterward.  We saw no worrisome problems from the few sips of the mixed drink, so we finally relaxed.  Then, his younger brother made us laugh. 

Ronan must be part Russian.

Russian?  Why do you think that? 

Because that drink had some vodka in it.

He’s not Russian, but he is Irish.  And yes, Ronan also likes Irish whiskey.  My husband was gifted a bottle of Shanky’s Whip from a co-worker.  It smells amazing, like what I remember caramel candy smelled like when I was a little kid.  Every so often, when we bring out the bottle, Ronan gets to take a sniff of it.  One day, after smelling it, he stuck his finger in the bottle. 

Then he licked his finger. 

Then he stuck his finger in the bottle again.  

Then he licked his finger again and signed ‘yes’.

Dr. Paul Oosterhuis on Shocking Lessons from Australia During Covid

AustraliaNote: We're happy to share this article by Julie Obradovic as a reprint from The Defender. She writes about the crackdown on MDs who took a scientific interest in how Covid was handled and treated in Australia. “In science,” he argued, “you can’t give informed consent without saying the pluses and minuses, the hazards and the benefits.”

‘Even in His Pajamas’: A Conversation with Dr. Paul Oosterhuis on Lessons From the Down Under

Dr. Paul Oosterhuis, an anesthesiologist in Australia and outspoken critic of Australian health officials’ COVID-19 treatment protocol, lost — and then won back — his medical license. He now considers himself a “soldier in the war for medical freedom.”

By 

Julie Obradovic

Sitting in front of a computer screen in August 2021, Dr. Paul Oosterhuis was prepared.

The regulators, the people who hold the registrar of health practitioners in Australia, had recently come out with a document informing practitioners they could only speak about the positives of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Saying anything negative or cautionary was not allowed.

Dr. Oosterhuis addressed the document in a tweet. Since the COVID crisis began on the other side of the world the year prior, he had become rather outspoken on social media about many pandemic protocols.

Now that the virus was finally at Australia’s doorstep, he had a lot to say. “The document is ridiculous,” he tweeted.

“In science,” he argued, “you can’t give informed consent without saying the pluses and minuses, the hazards and the benefits.”

With The Wind, Science Revealed an Interview with Dr. Paul Thomas

With the wind
Anne Dachel transcribed an interview from Children's Health Defense TV on Nov 1, 2023 in which Dr. Paul Thomas interviewed Dr. Ken Stoller, who many of us know from his work with autistic children. Both doctors put pediatric health before profit, and suffered the consequences. But I'll bet they sleep at night.

With the Wind, Science Revealed with Dr. Paul Thomas

Dr. Thomas Interviews Dr. Ken Stoller

Doctors everywhere must be seeing the rapid decline in the health of children. They may even suspect that the ever-increasing vaccine schedule contributes to the sickest generation of children in our history, but few, very few, are willing to speak out about what’s happening and jeopardize their careers. Instead most go along to get along.

There are some courageous physicians out there who are not afraid of the pharma-controlled medical establishment.

Both Dr. Stoller and Dr. Thomas lost their medical licenses because they refused to comply with the one-size-fits-every child vaccine schedule.

Dr. Stoller lost his license for giving medical exemptions to ten children in the state of California  with pre-existing medical conditions, including a four month old with congestive heart failure.

We can only hope that others will also speak out about the unsafe, unchecked battery of vaccines injuring yet another generation of children and the link to the explosion in autism in children around the world.

Listen to their discussion about the absence of any good science showing vaccines are safe or efficacious.

This whole vaccine program, in the words of Dr. Stoller, “is a scam.” Here is the transcription:

Dr. Thomas: Dr. Paul here.  Welcome to With the Wind, Science Revealed. My guest today is Dr. Ken Stoller. He’s the author of a book, Incurable Me…   https://www.incurableme.org/ 

In fact he’s got a new version coming out, Incurable Us.

This is a masterpiece on any chronic disease you might be facing. You’ve got to get this book.

We cover his journey from being a board certified pediatrician into functional medicine. He’s a hyperbarics oxygen expert, and we talk about what’s happened in the field of medicine and what’s happening in our world today….

…I want to just chat with you about maybe living a spiritual life in these times we’re finding  ourselves in. I’m troubled with what I hear in the news about what’s going on in the world.

I feel it’s time to really pray. Can we as a people seek that higher power, seek that love and ask for that intervention into the lives of our entire world? I don’t think alone, anybody can fix this, but united and together in a spiritual powerful place, change can happen. I believe change will  happen….

INTERVIEW

…I read somewhere [in] your writing, you’re working to close the divide between quality health care and the complex trio of pharmaceutical companies, insurance agencies and government influence….

Dr. Stoller: I was temporarily paralyzed from the waist down two week after receiving a polio vaccine when I was four years old.

Of course I didn’t know what had happened at the time. I didn’t know for decades what had happened. I knew that if I got involved in medicine, one day I figure out, I’d ask the right person.

It never happened. It didn’t matter how many pediatric neurologists I asked or pediatricians. They had no idea what had happened to me.

That speaks to the fact that vaccines are a sacred cow. You don’t even put them on the table as a potential cause of any untoward reactions.

It was only 45 minutes. …I was at the little girl across the street’s birthday party, and I was not feeling well  I sat down on a lounge chair and instantly I could not move my lower extremities

I was taken to the scene of the crime, which was my pediatrician’s office.

But even as I was being taken there, …I was moving my legs again. By the time the pediatrician came in, I couldn’t tell anything had happened.

I turned to my mom and I said did I get the polio vaccine anywhere near that little girl’s birthday party? And she said, yes, two weeks before.

Thomas: What do you think of the narrative that it was the vaccine that got rid of polio?

Stoller: The polio virus, it’s an enterovirus, and there are many enteroviruses and some are probably more dangerous than others.

If there’s a toxic co-factor, and what I mean by that is it really needs to have your immune system compromised. And one of the best ways to compromise your immune system is with pesticides.

These enteroviruses that have been with us from eons never caused anything but diarrhea and an upset stomach until pesticides showed up.

The first cases of paralysis were taking place in the areas that were most heavily using lead arsenate pesticides. This was in the late 1800s. 

DDT ended up replacing lead arsenate. It got to the point where the government was recommending that DDT be sprayed on everything and everywhere.

It actually was making the polio epidemic worse because the DDT destroyed people’s immune systems.

So this virus which normally might just cause you diarrhea, was now getting into your central nervous system and causing paralysis.

The countries that used the most DDT…have the most cases of paralysis.

We couldn’t blame DDT It would have created tremendous liability for the government because not only did they encourage it, but they were spraying it everywhere. …

Dr. Thomas asked Dr. Stoller why he went into pediatric medicine.

In pediatrics, most of your patients do their best to get well. They’re full of vim, vigor and youth, and they help you help them get better.

Dr. Stoller questioned the vaccine schedule.

Thomas: You had this growing awareness that the childhood vaccine schedule was part of the problem.

In medical school we’re just taught that vaccines are safe and effective and this is what you do, right? They didn’t really teach us much.

Stoller: I don’t think they even said safe and effective. They just said, this is when you give them. It’s not something you questioned. You didn’t question the vaccines.

This was like 1989, early 1990 and I mistakenly thought I needed to obtain informed consent from parents for this new hepatitis B vaccine. I didn’t know anything about this new hepatitis B vaccine

What was curious to me was, how did they get approval to do studies to show this was effective for one day old infants, because that was what they were recommending?

I spent about three months on and off trying to find something in the medical literature that would provide rationale for giving hepatitis B vaccine to a one day old infant whose mother did not have hepatitis B….

It has absolutely no benefit to an infant whose mother does not have hepatitis B, but here we are giving it to everybody.

This is a scam. The whole hepatitis B vaccine thing is a scam.

And if this is a scam, are the other vaccines that I’ve been blindly giving also a scam?

So I started researching the other vaccines.

Dr. Stoller saw his first autistic patient.

Now at the same time, I saw the first autistic child. I had never seen autism, ever, in my residency, in medical school, nothing.…

It took years for me to figure out that what I was doing was blocking gluten or gluten fragments from getting into this child’s bloodstream. …

If gluten’s the problem, the answer is to stop eating gluten, not take a chemical that blocks its absorption. 

That’s how I got both into the vaccine vigilant mode, and it’s also how I got into treating autistic kids. 

This is not some kind of psychiatric disorder. This is a medical problem that has potential interventions, including going on a gluten free diet.

Because I was learning so much about the vaccine program and all these other vaccines, most of which are scams, I was giving longer and longer informed consent lectures.

Basically for 40 minutes obtaining informed consent, which I didn’t know I didn’t have to do anymore because the 1986 Vaccine Act relieved pediatricians of having to obtain informed consent for vaccines.

It was not required anymore to get informed consent to give vaccines.

Thomas: It took away all liability, so you could do whatever you wanted and it wouldn’t matter.

Stoller: My informed consent speeches were getting longer and longer. And no one, after spending 40 minutes of uncompensated time, wanted vaccines, after I gave the true pros and cons.

So I stopped giving them. That’s how it started. I stopped giving them completely in 1997….

Dr. Stoller couldn’t understand the declining health of children when he first started in medicine.

I didn’t understand why I was seeing so many ear infections. I didn’t understand why I was seeing so much eczema. I didn’t understand why I was seeing so much asthma. 

This is a new phenomenon. I don’t remember when I was a kid, every other kid having an ear infection or bad asthma. There’s something in the environment, but what?...

He looked into vaccine ingredients.

Despite all the research I had done on vaccines, I didn’t really look at them in terms of what’s in them. What are the ingredients?

I was just looking at them, do they work?  Is there good clinical evidence that they work, not about what are they made of?

It took a little longer for me to figure out; I’m looking at mercury poisoning. …

You remember that study that came out around 2000 showing that the hepatitis B vaccine in Canada—because originally the hepatitis B vaccine did have thimerosal, the mercury preservative.

Thimerosal is not a preservative. It’s an adjuvant, but they said it was a preservative.
If something’s an adjuvant, you have to—I thought—test it to make sure it’s safe.

As they were phasing out mercury, they were adding in aluminum.

HHS never reported to Congress on the safety of vaccines as they were required to do.

These people have rules. They don’t follow their rules. For example, the 1986 Vaccine Act required HHS every two years to report to Congress about how they’re improving the safety of vaccines. [They] never made one report.

They were violating the law to their benefit. So there were no reports on vaccine safety.

They don’t care about vaccine safety.

1986 Vaccine Act indemnified the vaccine makers.

That act, the 1986 Vaccine Act, removed safety issues from under the mantel of the manufacturer. HHS itself was now responsible for safety, which they completely ignored….

Just before the 1986 Vaccine Act, the FDA went on record stating what their policy is:

“Safety issues, no matter how well founded, are not to interfere with national vaccine policy.”

Thomas: It’s all about the program.

StollerIt’s about the program, not about whether they’re harming anybody, or whether the vaccines work. It’s about protecting the program.

Thomas: And boy have they done that on steroids now

Stoller: I got a target on my back when I came out heavily against the HPV vaccine.

There was a documentary that was being filmed, and I was the first one to be interviewed for it.

Merck found out about it, saw the footage and obviously would have seen me. They ended up paying off the two guys who were doing this documentary. So the whole documentary vanished.

I think I got on the radar of these pharmaceutical companies. Also I would going to board of pharmacy meetings and pointing out that the way vaccines are made, they way they’re tested violated the drug act in New Mexico where I was practicing at the time.

Nobody cares. The CDC approved it. That’s good enough for them.

Dr. Stoller saw the results of not vaccinating.

When I started my solo private pediatric practice, day care was just coming onto the scene.

Those kids would be in my office every two weeks. It was really good for business.

I had the moms give the kids a teaspoon of colloidal silver first thing in the morning and first thing when they got back from daycare.

They stopped coming in. They weren’t getting sick every two weeks. They would still get the viruses, but they wouldn’t get the secondary infections that really made them sick.  Colloidal silver really improved the quality of health of these kids….

Dr. Thomas asked Dr. Stoller if he saw autism, severe asthma, diabetes in his unvaxxed patients.

The answer to that is no. I didn’t make the connections completely the way you did that the vaccines not only didn’t work, but were driving the ear infections, were driving the eczema, were driving the asthma. …

HBOT

Hyperbaric oxygen is providing oxygen under pressure

It was 1995 and one of my friends who’s the head of Apple Computer Advanced Technology Group was found dead in bed by his wife, revived by paramedics, was in a coma for two weeks.

When I visited him in the hospital, I was surprised that treatment he was getting was an IV drip.

That’s when I found out about hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

When I found out you could treat kids with cerebral palsy, I was sold.

I opened up my first center in Santa Fe in 2001, and my first patient was a cerebral palsy patient. She went in the chamber with her grandmother, and when they were done with their treatment, the grandmother said, I have fibromyalgia and my symptoms are gone.…

That’s how hyperbaric oxygen works. It works by rehabilitating and reviving mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are the energy centers of our cells. They convert oxygen and sugar into the gasoline the cells run on.

I could not stop treating with hyperbaric oxygen therapy because I could see what it was doing for people, how it was returning functionality to their lives.

I was treating things that had no treatments: stroke patients, traumatic brain injuries, cerebral palsy, post polio syndrome, multiple sclerosis, Lyme disease. The list was getting longer and longer. …I considered it near magic.

I never looked back after starting to treat patients with hyperbaric oxygen therapy….

Follow the money

In 2005, I published a paper in…Pediatrics. My paper was on treating fetal alcohol syndrome with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

I really wanted to write a paper about cerebral palsy, but there were so many people gunning for hyperbarics oxygen and cerebral palsy because other specialties were making money on cerebral palsy. The baclofen pumps that the orthopedists would install, the splints that the kids needs.

It’s a business treating kids with cerebral palsy, so if you come along and say you can cure cerebral palsy or vastly improve it clinically, you’re stepping on other people’s financial toes.

There was no one interested in fetal alcohol syndrome.…

So I published this paper in 2005. It took 15 years for another group to duplicate my findings….

I thought when this paper got published; people would be knocking down my door. Fetal alcohol syndrome is supposedly the most common non-hereditary cause of mental retardation.

You and I know that’s not true. The most common non-hereditary cause of mental retardation is the vaccines.

The vaccines are destroying the kids’ brains.

Fetal alcohol syndrome is a far second to the damage the vaccines have caused to kids’ brains….

My study was met with crickets. Absolute crickets….

And the paradigm is if it’s not making the pharmaceutical company money, you don’t hear about it. End of story.

Pharmaceutical companies will sell things to you they know won’t work….

They went after Dr. Stoller’s license.

In 2017 I wrote a blog for the Bolen Report where I spelled out exactly what was going to end up happening in 2020. I didn’t know exactly what the organism was going to be.

I said it needs to be an organism we have a vaccine for because they’re going to blame the unvaccinated.

In my blog, I just picked mumps as an example….

My book came out in 2016….

In California they had that bill called SB277 which eliminated informed consent completely and the only way you could get out of taking vaccines was with a medical exemption, no personal, religious waivers or anything like that.

What the legislators did, because they wouldn’t have been able to pass the bill without it, they greatly expanded the reasons you could offer a medical exemption, for example family history…

I went to the medical board and I said, I have questions about this new law.  Can you help me clarify those questions….

They said, no, we don’t do that.  End of story.

So I hired a lawyer… because I said I wanted to have a lawyer’s advice when I’m creating my protocol for giving medical exemptions.

You’re not supposed to lose your license if there’s a new law and you sought legal advice on how to implement the law.

This was, I think—

The Federation for State Medical Boards has always had it in for alternative medical practitioners. Anything they could do to get rid of them, they have tried to do.

So this was a way of basically trapping physicians who didn’t completely buy the whole vaccine scram. And trapping them and eliminating them.

They didn’t care about the law. They didn’t care about the facts. They just punished as many physicians as they could.

Thomas: That’s what I thought it was. You guys were given this expanded medical exemption, encouraged in a way. They knew people would then take advantage of that to support their patients.

So you’re doing what’s right for your patient, and you’re trapped. …

I don’t know how many physicians in California have lost their license or are suffering greatly under a lot of stipulations.

Stoller: I remember saying at my hearing, “Shame on anyone who would give a four month old in congestive heart failure, vaccines.

The medical exemptions I gave out were very legitimate. They just didn’t follow CDC contraindications. But they didn’t care.

Like I said, the fix was in, and the Fair Hearing Bureau, which is not fair at all, sees their job as supporting whatever is the position is of the Medical Board.

Dr. Stoller is currently working.

I’m in the appeal process in New Mexico for my license there, because once you lose your license in one state, they start attacking you in every other state you had a license. …

I’m basically doing hyperbaric oxygen therapy with a family that I saved their lives ten years ago, and they installed their own facility, and they’re having me run it for them.

You don’t need a license to operate a hyperbaric chamber.

Thomas: You can just cure more and more people, or at least greatly help them….

Stoller: …But hyperbaric oxygen’s going to have to wait the dying paradigm we’re in falls apart, which will be happening soon. It’ll happen with the financial collapse that’s coming.

The aftermath of this financial collapse that’s coming might eliminate all third party payers, many of these NGOs. There’s just not going to be money.

Everyone’s doing all these nasty things because they have money. They’re getting money.

If patients have to use their own money or their own money or whatever they’re using to pay for services, they’re going to gravitate to the therapies that they know are the most efficient and efficacious.

I think it’s going to be after the collapse that things like hyperbaric oxygen therapy will come to the fore, and it will become standard practice for treating traumatic brain injuries and kids with cerebral palsy, fetal alcohol syndrome, things like that. 

Thomas: … This has been so fun for me because I’ve followed a similar journey as you have. Your book, Incurable Me, you cover some really big stuff….

This is Dr. Stoller’s advice for all of us:

Stoller: Do your own research. Be prepared. As you do your research, have the things you think you might need for treating yourself in your home already….

We’re going to be going through a rough patch. People need to be as optimistic and positive and envision what they want the world to look like, how they want the world to function after we get rid of the New World Order group and all their plots.

Our unlovely society, as we’re finding out, it is quite unlovely: the organ trafficking, the sex trafficking, our country being flooded with drugs as part of a fifth column war against us.

These things are going to pass, and people need to start thinking about, how do I want to be operating in this new world. How do I want this world to operate?

The sun will come out eventually here, and we need to help create this new society.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nov 1, 2023, With the Wind, Science Revealed with Dr. Paul Thomas

Dr. Thomas Interviews Dr. Ken Stoller

https://live.childrenshealthdefense.org/chd-tv/shows/with-the-wind-with-dr-paul-thomas/be-prepared-for-any-type-of-illness/

Doctors everywhere must be seeing the rapid decline in the health of children. They may even suspect that the ever-increasing vaccine schedule contributes to the sickest generation of children in our history, but few, very few, are willing to speak out about what’s happening and jeopardize their careers. Instead most go along to get along.

There are some courageous physicians out there who are not afraid of the pharma-controlled medical establishment.

Both Dr. Stoller and Dr. Thomas lost their medical licenses because they refused to comply with the one-size-fits-every child vaccine schedule.

Dr. Stoller lost his license for giving medical exemptions to ten children in the state of California  with pre-existing medical conditions, including a four month old with congestive heart failure.

We can only hope that others will also speak out about the unsafe, unchecked battery of vaccines injuring yet another generation of children and the link to the explosion in autism in children around the world.

Listen to their discussion about the absence of any good science showing vaccines are safe or efficacious.

This whole vaccine program, in the words of Dr. Stoller, “is a scam.”

Dr. Thomas: Dr. Paul here.  Welcome to With the Wind, Science Revealed. My guest today is Dr. Ken Stoller. He’s the author of a book, Incurable Me…   https://www.incurableme.org/ 

In fact he’s got a new version coming out, Incurable Us.

This is a masterpiece on any chronic disease you might be facing. You’ve got to get this book.

We cover his journey from being a board certified pediatrician into functional medicine. He’s a hyperbarics oxygen expert, and we talk about what’s happened in the field of medicine and what’s happening in our world today….

…I want to just chat with you about maybe living a spiritual life in these times we’re finding  ourselves in. I’m troubled with what I hear in the news about what’s going on in the world.

I feel it’s time to really pray. Can we as a people seek that higher power, seek that love and ask for that intervention into the lives of our entire world? I don’t think alone, anybody can fix this, but united and together in a spiritual powerful place, change can happen. I believe change will  happen….

INTERVIEW

…I read somewhere [in] your writing, you’re working to close the divide between quality health care and the complex trio of pharmaceutical companies, insurance agencies and government influence….

Dr. Stoller: I was temporarily paralyzed from the waist down two week after receiving a polio vaccine when I was four years old.

Of course I didn’t know what had happened at the time. I didn’t know for decades what had happened. I knew that if I got involved in medicine, one day I figure out, I’d ask the right person.

It never happened. It didn’t matter how many pediatric neurologists I asked or pediatricians. They had no idea what had happened to me.

That speaks to the fact that vaccines are a sacred cow. You don’t even put them on the table as a potential cause of any untoward reactions.

It was only 45 minutes. …I was at the little girl across the street’s birthday party, and I was not feeling well  I sat down on a lounge chair and instantly I could not move my lower extremities

I was taken to the scene of the crime, which was my pediatrician’s office.

But even as I was being taken there, …I was moving my legs again. By the time the pediatrician came in, I couldn’t tell anything had happened.

I turned to my mom and I said did I get the polio vaccine anywhere near that little girl’s birthday party? And she said, yes, two weeks before.

Thomas: What do you think of the narrative that it was the vaccine that got rid of polio?

Stoller: The polio virus, it’s an enterovirus, and there are many enteroviruses and some are probably more dangerous than others.

If there’s a toxic co-factor, and what I mean by that is it really needs to have your immune system compromised. And one of the best ways to compromise your immune system is with pesticides.

These enteroviruses that have been with us from eons never caused anything but diarrhea and an upset stomach until pesticides showed up.

The first cases of paralysis were taking place in the areas that were most heavily using lead arsenate pesticides. This was in the late 1800s. 

DDT ended up replacing lead arsenate. It got to the point where the government was recommending that DDT be sprayed on everything and everywhere.

It actually was making the polio epidemic worse because the DDT destroyed people’s immune systems.

So this virus which normally might just cause you diarrhea, was now getting into your central nervous system and causing paralysis.

The countries that used the most DDT…have the most cases of paralysis.

We couldn’t blame DDT It would have created tremendous liability for the government because not only did they encourage it, but they were spraying it everywhere. …

Dr. Thomas asked Dr. Stoller why he went into pediatric medicine.

In pediatrics, most of your patients do their best to get well. They’re full of vim, vigor and youth, and they help you help them get better.

Dr. Stoller questioned the vaccine schedule.

Thomas: You had this growing awareness that the childhood vaccine schedule was part of the problem.

In medical school we’re just taught that vaccines are safe and effective and this is what you do, right? They didn’t really teach us much.

Stoller: I don’t think they even said safe and effective. They just said, this is when you give them. It’s not something you questioned. You didn’t question the vaccines.

This was like 1989, early 1990 and I mistakenly thought I needed to obtain informed consent from parents for this new hepatitis B vaccine. I didn’t know anything about this new hepatitis B vaccine

What was curious to me was, how did they get approval to do studies to show this was effective for one day old infants, because that was what they were recommending?

I spent about three months on and off trying to find something in the medical literature that would provide rationale for giving hepatitis B vaccine to a one day old infant whose mother did not have hepatitis B….

It has absolutely no benefit to an infant whose mother does not have hepatitis B, but here we are giving it to everybody.

This is a scam. The whole hepatitis B vaccine thing is a scam.

And if this is a scam, are the other vaccines that I’ve been blindly giving also a scam?

So I started researching the other vaccines.

Dr. Stoller saw his first autistic patient.

Now at the same time, I saw the first autistic child. I had never seen autism, ever, in my residency, in medical school, nothing.…

It took years for me to figure out that what I was doing was blocking gluten or gluten fragments from getting into this child’s bloodstream. …

If gluten’s the problem, the answer is to stop eating gluten, not take a chemical that blocks its absorption. 

That’s how I got both into the vaccine vigilant mode, and it’s also how I got into treating autistic kids. 

This is not some kind of psychiatric disorder. This is a medical problem that has potential interventions, including going on a gluten free diet.

Because I was learning so much about the vaccine program and all these other vaccines, most of which are scams, I was giving longer and longer informed consent lectures.

Basically for 40 minutes obtaining informed consent, which I didn’t know I didn’t have to do anymore because the 1986 Vaccine Act relieved pediatricians of having to obtain informed consent for vaccines.

It was not required anymore to get informed consent to give vaccines.

Thomas: It took away all liability, so you could do whatever you wanted and it wouldn’t matter.

Stoller: My informed consent speeches were getting longer and longer. And no one, after spending 40 minutes of uncompensated time, wanted vaccines, after I gave the true pros and cons.

So I stopped giving them. That’s how it started. I stopped giving them completely in 1997….

Dr. Stoller couldn’t understand the declining health of children when he first started in medicine.

I didn’t understand why I was seeing so many ear infections. I didn’t understand why I was seeing so much eczema. I didn’t understand why I was seeing so much asthma. 

This is a new phenomenon. I don’t remember when I was a kid, every other kid having an ear infection or bad asthma. There’s something in the environment, but what?...

He looked into vaccine ingredients.

Despite all the research I had done on vaccines, I didn’t really look at them in terms of what’s in them. What are the ingredients?

I was just looking at them, do they work?  Is there good clinical evidence that they work, not about what are they made of?

It took a little longer for me to figure out; I’m looking at mercury poisoning. …

You remember that study that came out around 2000 showing that the hepatitis B vaccine in Canada—because originally the hepatitis B vaccine did have thimerosal, the mercury preservative.

Thimerosal is not a preservative. It’s an adjuvant, but they said it was a preservative.
If something’s an adjuvant, you have to—I thought—test it to make sure it’s safe.

As they were phasing out mercury, they were adding in aluminum.

HHS never reported to Congress on the safety of vaccines as they were required to do.

These people have rules. They don’t follow their rules. For example, the 1986 Vaccine Act required HHS every two years to report to Congress about how they’re improving the safety of vaccines. [They] never made one report.

They were violating the law to their benefit. So there were no reports on vaccine safety.

They don’t care about vaccine safety.

1986 Vaccine Act indemnified the vaccine makers.

That act, the 1986 Vaccine Act, removed safety issues from under the mantel of the manufacturer. HHS itself was now responsible for safety, which they completely ignored….

Just before the 1986 Vaccine Act, the FDA went on record stating what their policy is:

“Safety issues, no matter how well founded, are not to interfere with national vaccine policy.”

Thomas: It’s all about the program.

StollerIt’s about the program, not about whether they’re harming anybody, or whether the vaccines work. It’s about protecting the program.

Thomas: And boy have they done that on steroids now

Stoller: I got a target on my back when I came out heavily against the HPV vaccine.

There was a documentary that was being filmed, and I was the first one to be interviewed for it.

Merck found out about it, saw the footage and obviously would have seen me. They ended up paying off the two guys who were doing this documentary. So the whole documentary vanished.

I think I got on the radar of these pharmaceutical companies. Also I would going to board of pharmacy meetings and pointing out that the way vaccines are made, they way they’re tested violated the drug act in New Mexico where I was practicing at the time.

Nobody cares. The CDC approved it. That’s good enough for them.

Dr. Stoller saw the results of not vaccinating.

When I started my solo private pediatric practice, day care was just coming onto the scene.

Those kids would be in my office every two weeks. It was really good for business.

I had the moms give the kids a teaspoon of colloidal silver first thing in the morning and first thing when they got back from daycare.

They stopped coming in. They weren’t getting sick every two weeks. They would still get the viruses, but they wouldn’t get the secondary infections that really made them sick.  Colloidal silver really improved the quality of health of these kids….

Dr. Thomas asked Dr. Stoller if he saw autism, severe asthma, diabetes in his unvaxxed patients.

The answer to that is no. I didn’t make the connections completely the way you did that the vaccines not only didn’t work, but were driving the ear infections, were driving the eczema, were driving the asthma. …

HBOT

Hyperbaric oxygen is providing oxygen under pressure

It was 1995 and one of my friends who’s the head of Apple Computer Advanced Technology Group was found dead in bed by his wife, revived by paramedics, was in a coma for two weeks.

When I visited him in the hospital, I was surprised that treatment he was getting was an IV drip.

That’s when I found out about hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

When I found out you could treat kids with cerebral palsy, I was sold.

I opened up my first center in Santa Fe in 2001, and my first patient was a cerebral palsy patient. She went in the chamber with her grandmother, and when they were done with their treatment, the grandmother said, I have fibromyalgia and my symptoms are gone.…

That’s how hyperbaric oxygen works. It works by rehabilitating and reviving mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are the energy centers of our cells. They convert oxygen and sugar into the gasoline the cells run on.

I could not stop treating with hyperbaric oxygen therapy because I could see what it was doing for people, how it was returning functionality to their lives.

I was treating things that had no treatments: stroke patients, traumatic brain injuries, cerebral palsy, post polio syndrome, multiple sclerosis, Lyme disease. The list was getting longer and longer. …I considered it near magic.

I never looked back after starting to treat patients with hyperbaric oxygen therapy….

Follow the money

In 2005, I published a paper in…Pediatrics. My paper was on treating fetal alcohol syndrome with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

I really wanted to write a paper about cerebral palsy, but there were so many people gunning for hyperbarics oxygen and cerebral palsy because other specialties were making money on cerebral palsy. The baclofen pumps that the orthopedists would install, the splints that the kids needs.

It’s a business treating kids with cerebral palsy, so if you come along and say you can cure cerebral palsy or vastly improve it clinically, you’re stepping on other people’s financial toes.

There was no one interested in fetal alcohol syndrome.…

So I published this paper in 2005. It took 15 years for another group to duplicate my findings….

I thought when this paper got published; people would be knocking down my door. Fetal alcohol syndrome is supposedly the most common non-hereditary cause of mental retardation.

You and I know that’s not true. The most common non-hereditary cause of mental retardation is the vaccines.

The vaccines are destroying the kids’ brains.

Fetal alcohol syndrome is a far second to the damage the vaccines have caused to kids’ brains….

My study was met with crickets. Absolute crickets….

And the paradigm is if it’s not making the pharmaceutical company money, you don’t hear about it. End of story.

Pharmaceutical companies will sell things to you they know won’t work….

They went after Dr. Stoller’s license.

In 2017 I wrote a blog for the Bolen Report where I spelled out exactly what was going to end up happening in 2020. I didn’t know exactly what the organism was going to be.

Supreme Court Rejects RFK Jr., CHD Motion to Intervene In Social Media Censorship Case

The U.S. Supreme Court today rejected a motion by Children’s Health Defense (CHD) and its chairman on leave, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to intervene in a lawsuit alleging the Biden administration colluded with social media companies to censor users’ posts. Associate Justice Samuel Alito said he would have granted the motion because denying it “may cause irreparable harm” to Kennedy,

By 

John-Michael Dumais

The U.S. Supreme Court today rejected a motion by Children’s Health Defense (CHD) and its chairman on leave, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to intervene in a lawsuit alleging the Biden administration colluded with social media companies to censor users’ posts.

Kennedy and CHD filed the motion to intervene on Oct. 26, days after the Supreme Court agreed to hear a lawsuit brought by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana accusing the White House, through its communication with tech firms, of violating the First Amendment.

Associate Justice Samuel Alito, in his lone dissent, said he would have granted CHD’s and Kennedy’s motion because denying it “may cause irreparable harm” to Kennedy, who he said is one of the alleged victims of a “‘coordinated campaign’ by high-level federal officials to suppress the expression of disfavored views on social media platforms.”

Calling today’s decision disappointing, CHD President and CEO Mary Holland said:

“The Government-Big Tech collusion to censor government critics, which is at the heart of this matter, raises the most significant threat to First Amendment freedom in our times.

“We agree wholeheartedly with Justice Alito’s dissent that allowing the Kennedy Plaintiffs to intervene would ensure that the Supreme Court reaches the merits of this case and would prevent “the irreparable loss of Mr. Kennedy’s First Amendment rights.”

Holland said Kennedy and CHD have been “directly harmed” and the court’s failure to allow intervention “means that our rights are likely to continue to be violated until spring or even June 2024.”

“This denial is particularly severe for Mr. Kennedy who is running for president, Holland said. “As Mr. Kennedy has been mentioned explicitly in communications between the government and social media platforms, we agree with Justice Alito that ‘he has a strong claim to standing, and the Government has not argued otherwise.’”

In his dissenting opinion, Alito wrote:

“The denial of intervention is likely to prevent Mr. Kennedy from vindicating the rights he claims until the spring of 2024 and perhaps as late as June of that year. And by that time, several months of the Presidential campaign will have passed.”

‘Our democratic form of government is undermined’

Today’s Supreme Court decision stemmed from the White House’s appeal to the Supreme Court  for a stay of an injunction, granted July 4 by a lower court, in the Missouri et al. v. Biden et al. case.  Read more at CHD HERE.

Special Ed in Soaring Ireland

Abadnonned schoolHow will schools sustain their programs as children who do not learn as students did 50 years ago flood the classrooms? Is there over-diagnosis? Sure, there's some. But I can tell you that schools do NOT jump to provide services unless pushed or it's patently obvious that a child has the need.  Members of my home care team work in the local schools here in Connecticut. They see a flood of kids who are not toilet trained, can not perform simple self help skills, have disruptive behaviors and barriers to learning their ABCs and 123s. The older teachers are better equipped to work with this group than the newly minted teachers who are adrift at sea.  And the older teachers are quitting or being forced out. Happy Monday!

Before I talk about the big news about special education out of Ireland, keep in mind that officially in the Republic of Ireland more than 25 percent of students have special needs.

Dec 7, 2021, Inclusion at a crossroads: Special education in Ireland

It is now estimated that over a quarter of all students in Ireland’s mainstream schools have additional learning needs and/or disabilities.

And not only did they reveal that jaw-dropping statistic, but we were told that NUMBERS CONTINUE TO INCREASE. 

Even more troubling is the fact that IN IRELAND, ONE IN EVERY 21 STUDENTS HAS AUTISM as of last December.

Dec 14, 2022, Cork Independent: Raised awareness from parents around autism

This kind of service is needed more now than it ever has been, as figures published this year by the Department of Health reveal that 14,000 children between the ages of four and 15 have an autism diagnosis - around 4.7 per cent of the school population.

This is four times higher than the figure of just 1.2 per cent 10 years ago.

4.7 percent is the scary number of ONE IN EVERY 21 STUDENTS.

And in Northern Ireland, just over the border, it’s one in 20.

I recalled a time that I was outside coming home from a walk last spring.  With the siblings watching their brother for the few minutes when I needed some fresh air, I didn’t rush home.  He was fine.  They were fine.  I was not.  I can’t remember now what happened that had me step away, but I do remember sauntering silently down the street lingering and enjoying the quiet.  Our part of the neighborhood doesn’t see too many cars, so it’s not unusual for kids from other streets to bike down ours.  On my walk back home, I noticed two kids, then two more, then a whole bunch of kids ride past me.  Schools were off that day, which drew more middle schoolers outside than usual.  I know of a few of them, but my kids are older and don’t typically interact with them.  

As I got closer to my driveway, I planned the rest of my afternoon.  My thoughts were soon interrupted as several emergency vehicles quickly drove past me.  The kids were off their bikes already and were playing ball across the street from our house.  Spilling out of their vehicles, young men and women in blue uniforms ran up a driveway.  It was not for the neighbor I expected to need medical attention.  Usually, it’s the elderly couple next door to us that have called for help.  My husband would check on them because they each have had a history of medical problems.  Prone to falling, Jack, the disabled World War II vet, worried us.  But this time, the ambulance was parked at a different house. 

A large fire truck next careened down the street with its 4-man crew joining the rescue efforts.  The frustration I had felt earlier in my home, and whatever had prompted my need to walk away for a minute, paled in comparison as to what was taking place right now.  The ladder truck blocked my view, and I felt terrible for trying to peek around it.  I felt a bit like a nosey neighbor, but before my friend down the street texted me, I wanted to see who called 911 and why.  

Watching the middle school boys gather at the edge of their lawn, I quickly texted my neighbor down the street.  “Hey, the ambulance – it’s not for us this time.”

She was relieved.  

Telling me she was just about to text me, she asked if it was for the older couple next door.  We don’t get to see each other too much anymore, but this younger neighbor and I always text each other when an emergency vehicle shows up.  Before going into the special ed teaching field, she used to watch Ronan for me.  She knows the laundry list of medical conditions he has and of the times we’ve had to call 911.  She also knows how quickly seizures used to happen.  Those haven’t happened in awhile, but she remains always ready to swoop in and help me with my kids, especially when my husband is traveling for work.

The young middle schoolers gathered at the edge of the lawn and stayed attentive.  More of their friends had joined the front-yard football game, but all were keeping a respectful distance and were being quiet.  One of the boys glanced my way.  I quietly asked, “Do you know who needed help?”  He said, “It looked like it was an elderly woman.”  Ah, that’s the mother of the siblings who own the large house at the corner.  I appreciated his response and retreated to my house.  My kids greeted me with smiles when I walked in, “Hey, you’re back.  You could’ve stayed out longer, Mom. Ronan is okay.” 

I hadn’t been gone for more than 20 minutes.  It was just enough sunshine and time to step away from whatever had started to bug me.  By the time I’d come back home, whatever it was that bugged me was absolutely insignificant.  Hugging my youngest, I told her thanks for being in charge of all the things and all the people for me.  She smiled.  Having heard the sirens and seen the activity of the emergency responders she asked, “Was it for Jack next door?”  I told her, “Not this time, it was the mom of the adult kids who own the big house.”  We hadn’t seen the mom in a long time, so we prayed everything would soon be okay.  I know the feeling when, in an instant, things are not okay.  In an instant, things go from bad to worse.  They go from We’ve got this to Oh, no!  We don’t.  That’s when the adrenaline kicks in.  That’s when we call for help.  That’s when we pray for things to turn around.  

Which is what my daughter and I did for the lady in the big house at the corner as we watched the fire truck leave first.  

Then the ambulance.  

Followed by the police. 

Very soon after, life on our street returned to normal.  The middle school kids rolled back down the road.  First one boy, then two, then all of them.  Riding their bikes, heading to the next front yard, calling to their friends as they rode, you’d never know a near-death situation had just occurred.  While we have had to call 911, and we have had more than a few emergency room runs, we haven’t had a near-death moment.  I have mentally prepared for those, because of my son’s medical conditions.  

But I’ll hope and pray we never experience anything like that.

Wuhan bioweapons coverThe Wuhan Cover-Up: And the Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race (Children’s Health Defense)

We Have to Believe in Santa Claus

Santa With Child
I saw the post below on Facebook yesterday. How do you feel when someone, ANYone goes out of his or her way to meet your child where he or she is? To ignore the communication or behavior barriers. To disregard the developmental age difference. TO TREAT YOUR CHILD LIKE A PERSON WORTHY OF FULL PRESENCE. I know parents who barely connect with their own children. And strangers who can click just like that. The holidays can be so hard for families in the AofA community. I don't need to list the ways, you surely know. The holidays can also remind us that love exists, kindness is not gone and there will always be someone to cherish our children, if only for a visit.  To make our broken hearts.... full.

The post is attributed to Theresa Hudson on Facebook.

I whispered to Santa “he is blind and autistic and is very interested in Santa”. He said “say no more” and immediately got down on the floor to greet my little man. He talked to Matthew for a long time. Let him feel all over him. Told him to pull his beard, feel his hat and talked about his red suit. He asked Matthew if he wanted to feel anything and Matthew said “your eyes that twinkle” (from the poem ‘twas the night before Christmas) so santa let him touch all over his eyes for as long as Matthew wanted. Then Santa said have you ever felt a real reindeer. Santa then carried him over to the display area. And had Matthew pet the taxidermy reindeer they had set up. It was great. My heart was full seeing Matthew so interested.

The Upside Down World of the Autism Parent

Funeral-flowersThe apparent reduction in life expectancy for people diagnosed with autism and intellectual disability was 7.28 years (95% CI: 3.78–10.27) for men and 14.59 years (95% CI: 9.45–19.02 years) for women.

At AofA, we are not afraid to say things others surely think. Safeminds shared an article that autistic men and women in the UK die sooner than their non-autistic peers. Women died EARLIER than men, which is not the case in the non-autism population, and almost 15 years before their time. 15 years? As Mom to three daughters with autism I'm horrified by this statistic. Why? Are they harmed? Abused? Denied the most basic gyn care?

Now the tough part....  Most parents want their children to outlive them. That's normal. How many of us want to die the day AFTER we bury our children? But never speak of this wish? Now, I know we have many families who have lost a child far too young. That's not what I'm talking about.  I mean no disrespect. Kim

Men and Women with ASD and a Learning Disorder Die Almost 10 Years Earlier than Those without the Disorder

A recent study published in The Lancet Regional Health – Europe has found that people diagnosed with autism and a learning disability in the United Kingdom are more likely to die prematurely than those without these conditions. The study, which is the first to estimate the life expectancy of people with the disorder in Britain, highlights the urgent need to address inequalities and prevent premature death for people on the autism spectrum. The authors studied anonymized data from 1989 to 2019 of 17,130 people diagnosed with autism without a learning disability and 6,450 people diagnosed as autistic with a learning disability. The study found that men and women with autism and without a learning disability had an average life expectancy of 74.6 and 76.8 years, respectively. The study also discovered that individuals with autism and a comorbid learning disability had an even lower life expectancy of 71.7 years for men and 69.6 years for women. The average life expectancy for neurotypical individuals in the UK is 80 for men and 83 for women. While the study found autism itself does not directly reduce life expectancy, those with the disorder face health inequalities and often do not receive the necessary support and medical help they need. The team behind this research calls for further examination of the reasons behind the premature deaths of people with autism. They also point out the need for policymakers to address discrimination and adopt better medical policies for individuals with the disorder.

Heaven Help Us

NeverNever, as long as I live, will I credit my daughters' debilitating diagnosis with improving MY life or making me a better person. Have I sought (and often created from whole cloth) a silver lining? Yes. But haven't we ALL? We have to find joy where we can. I give autism ZERO credit for anything. ZERO. And I'm STILL no Mother Teresa.   Feel free to argue the point in the comments. But some parents do credit autism for making their lives better- read Anne's article. Chris Peden is a devoted father and Catholic living with his family in Northern Virginia.  ...He loves hearing stories of how having a family member on the Autism Spectrum made their lives better.

###

By Anne Dachel

On November 29th the National Catholic Register published an article entitled, 4 Ways Raising a Child with Autism Has Blessed My Life, by Chris Peden, the father of two autistic children.

While I’m sure the piece was well-intended, it revealed the truly desperate situation we all find ourselves when it comes to understanding autism.

Our only recourse is to somehow learn to live in a world of disabled children who never used to be here.

Peden described the struggles he and his wife faced raising their sons and what he has learned from the experience.

Here’s some of what Peden wrote:

…But what I want to share here is less about my wisdom and more about where God has shown me his love by gracing us with the opportunity to raise autistic boys….

Thanks To You Looks Like We Made It!

Leo costumeCaption: Do any of you know the book, Leo The Late Bloomer?  Leo's Dad doubts his delayed son will ever improve. Leo's Mom has nothing but confidence in her child. The story ends with the line, I MADE IT!" I used to read it to my daughter Bella's classroom to explain to the kids why she did not speak. In Kindergarten, I made her a Leo costume.

Thank you to everyone, especially our crypto QB who got us over the goal line and of course, Laura and Rich Hayes. We made our $10,000 matching gift with room to breathe! Every dollar keeps the site up and running.

Our refusal to stop telling our stories of vaccine injury has cost us dearly over the years. I laugh when I read about this "sudden censorship" because of Covid. We were shadow banned, de-listed, UnGoogled, dropped, cancelled and deleted long before it was a fashionable lament. We continue in Dan Olmsted's mission to tell the world that autism is a man made epidemic.

My "kids" are now adults with Mia turning 29 next week! And with far too many diagnosed kids following behind them. We've expanded our focus to include the crushing weight on school systems, and the paucity of adult services and support. The future is going to be what WE make it. And so I thank you all for the chance to keep going. And going. And going.  XOX  Kim Rossi, Managing Editor, Executive Director, Chief, Cook and Bottle washer. STILL no Mother Teresa. ;)

That Old Birth Plan

Baby-santaBy Cathy Jameson

It’s been many years since I read my birth plan.  The computer I used back then is long gone.  I knew I still had it somewhere.  It took a little bit of searching, but here is part of it:

C/Section Birth Plan

Unless there is an emergency in which my baby is jeopardized, I would like an epidural block rather than a general anesthetic.

Please allow my husband to be present in the operating room as support for me and to greet our baby.

I would like my arms to be unrestrained when the baby is born, and for my husband to hand me the baby to hold on my chest after minimal time on the resuscitation trolley.

If possible, my husband would like to take photos/videos in the O.R. during/after the birth.

If possible, I would prefer an uninterrupted skin suture to close the wound.

Please allow my husband and baby to remain with me while I am in the Recovery Room.

Following the surgery, I would like to mobilize as soon as possible, and breast feed on demand when I feel well enough.

I hunted through my files on Friday night for that document because I read something troubling on Friday afternoon. 

“The CDC’s recent analysis of 4,200 new mothers found cases of “ignored requests for help; being shouted at or scolded; violations of physical privacy; and threats to withhold treatment, or made to accept unwanted treatment.”  From an article I saw on Yahoo! News, I agreed with their opening sentence:  “Pregnancy and birth should be a time for women to prepare for motherhood — to have autonomy and control over their experiences and to choose the experience they want to have (barring medical emergencies, of course).” 

That’s why, with baby #4, we opted to create a birth plan.  We’d been belittled and threatened at birth of baby #3.  Wiser, smarter, and now much braver, my husband and I weren’t going to let hospital staff be disrespectful toward us.  Nor were we going to let our newborn child’s health be jeopardized. 

That birth plan continued:

Once the baby is born, Baby Jameson will:

-go directly to her father, to me, or to our designated support person

-breastfeed as soon as possible

-room-in for the entire stay

-receive all checks in mother’s post-partum room

-not receive baths

-not receive eye ointment

-not receive the hepatitis B vaccine

-not receive the vitamin K shot

-not be without father, mother, or designated support person at any time

Consulting a trusted nurse to help me create that plan, I felt much more confident with that birth, which would be a scheduled c-section.

Every American Should Learn Why RFK Jr Wrote The Wuhan Cover Up

From The Defender: In an exclusive CHD.TV interview, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Children’s Health Defense (CHD) chairman on leave, and CHD President Mary Holland discussed Kennedy’s latest book, “The Wuhan Cover-Up: And the Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race.” Kennedy traced the origins of risky gain-of-function research and explained why he believes it should be banned.

EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD READ/WATCH THIS INTERVIEW

AofA Note: Our lives were turned inside out because of the Covid virus, and for millions, will NEVER be the same. We make - and vote for better - choices if we we educate ourselves. The world has become far more dangerous since the Hamas attack on Israel. Political bedfellows (however odd they were) are at each others' throats. The Democratic party is splintering. The Republican party is on auto-pilot. Robert Kennedy, Jr., running as an Independent, writes books that demand our attention. The question is, does the American public have the attention span, or the stomach, for the facts?

A Sense of Humor

Pity the humorless. Which seems to be much of the world today. Without mirth (and snark) we’d cry in the dark. Of this, I am certain. I could not resist my vaccine clinic comment on an article about 10,000 purloined Krispy Kreme donuts. Holy Calories! X (formerly Twitter) has allowed us to publish pretty freely. Our reach has dropped for sure. But as least we don't get marked with a "brown paper wrapper" SENSITIVE CONTENT label as if we were an old nudie magazine on our work anymore.

No Surprise to Us

Modern-Day-Mind-Control-OverviewThe Defender has a notable post from Dr. Joseph Mercola about the tentacles Pfizer and Moderna sent out during Covid to create and control the narrative for their vaccines. Poor J&J, always pulling up last. Not much of a surprise to Age of Autism readers, who've lived first hand, the gaslighting of pharma when it comes to product safety. Who remembers the 2009 "Merck memo" that threatened to discredit and neutralize doctors who warned about Vioxx? Drug sales are a war to be won at all costs. And vaccines are the nuclear weapons, exalted, untouchable, sacrosanct.  Thank you to Children's Health Defense for their dedication to tackling all topics, even the third rail.

How Pfizer and Moderna Control the Vaccine Narrative and Influence Health Policy

Pfizer and Moderna are operating a complex global web of influence operations to control the discourse around vaccines — funding lobbying and censorship efforts, using artificial intelligence to monitor and flag vaccine-related conversations on social media, and tracking elected officials who oppose vaccine mandates.

By 

Dr. Joseph Mercola

Story at a glance:

  • Pfizer financed consumer, medical and civil rights organizations that lobbied for COVID-19 jab mandates, thereby creating the false appearance of broad support.
  • Moderna controls the vaccine debate and influences vaccine policy by working with a third-party nongovernmental organization (NGO) called Public Good Projects (PGP), which monitors and censors online discussions about COVID-19 shots on Moderna’s behalf.
  • Moderna has also retained an online monitoring company called Talkwalker that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor and flag vaccine-related conversations across 150 million websites across the globe.
  • Oftentimes the information flagged and/or censored as “misinformation” is factually accurate. It’s flagged/censored simply because it has the potential to create “vaccine hesitancy” or contradicts the “safe and effective” narrative.
  • As vaccine resistance grows, Moderna is ratcheting up its surveillance operation, with a focus on coercive or forced vaccination policies. Documents show Moderna is tracking elected officials who object to vaccine mandates, as well as new laws that restrict vaccine mandates.

In late April, investigative journalist Lee Fang published evidence showing Pfizer had financed consumer, medical and civil rights organizations that lobbied for COVID-19 jab mandates, thereby creating the false appearance of broad support.

Final Inning for our Matching Gift Campaign

Autism RealityDan Olmsted, Mark Blaxill and I launched Age of Autism in November of 2007 to shed light on the man made epidemic. To support each other in what is a lonely journey.  It’s still our core mission, though many of our kids are now adults, so we share lots of life stories to support one another.  I still talk to parents of newly diagnosed toddlers. It breaks my heart. And I work hard to remember those early days.  Speaking of our launch, we're in the last inning of our fund raiser and could use a few hits to help us keep going. PLEASE consider a donation of any amount to help us reach our $10,000 matching gift goal. Paper checks to Autism Age, PO Box 110546 Trumbull CT 06611 or use safe, secure Donor Box at the link below.

Giving Tuesday: Who Has Given More Than Autism Families?

Thank you typeOn this "Giving Tuesday" I ask a simple question. Who has given more than autism families? Than our Age of Autism family. And most of all, than our CHILDREN themselves? We could call it "Given UP" Tuesday because we have given up so much. Milestones. Recitals. Holidays. First loves. Graduations. Vacations. Weddings. Grandchildren. Savings. Retirement. And on it goes.  But we have NOT given up, nor will we.

Donate

I know we have changed dramatically since Dan Olmsted's death. Truth be told, we were already changing. Politics and Covid social media crackdowns hurried us along. Young families do not seek us out the way the "tough nuts and old timers" sought out Yahoo groups. Many think autism is kind of OK and everything will be just fine. Ah, youth. We have no "omerta" at Age of Autism. The journey grows tougher, more exhausting and frustrating as our kids age into adulthood. The schooling parents think is so bad today (and much of it is) will seem like the halcyon days once age 23 hits and the bus stops coming.  It's imperative to have  a voice of reality. The site that tells you that all is NOT well. If we don't, our kids' very lives will have been in vain. Ours too. And we can't have that. Please consider a donation today.

Autism In Australia: A Morass of Thoughts

Abadnonned schoolWow. I know one commenter who will have a field day with the range of thoughts out of Australia regarding the increase in autism.

By Anne Dachel

Australia can’t figure out what to do about all the autism. One report puts their autism rate at one in every 25 children, another at one in 23.

Experts are in denial. It’s either over-diagnosing or more of the “better diagnosing” that we’ll always hearing about. Either way, it’s NOT MORE AUTISM. Nothing to worry about.

On November 12th there was a story out of Australia about closing special schools and mainstreaming disabled students by being “inclusive.”

I’m sure this was motivated by the soaring number of special needs children they have to educate.

ABC News: If special schools close, students with disability need more inclusive mainstream education, experts say

In its final report handed down in September, the disability royal commission called for the phasing out of segregated education by 2051.

It's a call that has sparked deep debate.

Even the six commissioners disagree. Only three — including the two who live with disability — recommended phasing special schools out. The other three did not think a total phasing out of special schools was necessary.

"There has to be a bigger investment in our [mainstream] education system. And this is an opportunity to do that, for it to be better for all."

Of course the real problem is something that barely got a mention.

Since 2015, the number of students with disability enrolled in Australian public schools has increased by 29 per cent, according to the Australian Education Union's 2023 For Every Child report.

Go Talk QuietBy Cathy Jameson

For several years I used a Celtic Benediction prayer book which was a gift from my parents.  Reading it daily kicked up my personal prayer life up a notch.  I wasn’t always faithful saying the morning and evening prayers when I started reading it, but I’d get at least one set of devotionals in.  I’m using the Hallow app for most of my morning prayers now.  But this morning, the day after Thanksgiving, when everyone was sleeping in late, my thoughts went back to the Celtic Benediction book.  Such beautiful prayers crafted by the author and others straight from the Bible, they were truly a salve for my soul:

You are my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?

While a beautiful Psalm and one so perfect for Thanksgiving, my mind was also reaching for a different one:

Out of the depths, I cry to you, O, Lord.
