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