The Presidential Announcement
September 22, 2025, President Trump held a press convention in regards to the potential causes of autism. Shortly beforehand, the press grew to become conscious that Trump would concentrate on 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 said he had felt very strongly about bringing consideration to vaccines and autism for 20 years, that he felt we had been giving too many photographs too rapidly, and that they wanted to be spaced out. There was no purpose to offer 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 doable, it needs 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 consider a vaccine injured their youngster, and that President Trump believes we needs 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 medication. Remarkably, nevertheless, most traditional ache therapies have critical points and typically lead sufferers to needing increasingly more extreme interventions.
Sometimes, 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 take into account 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 because of coronary heart assaults, strokes, bleeding, and kidney failure2 (e.g., not less than 107,000 Individuals are admitted to hospitals every year for NSAID GI bleeds).3
• Kidney injury is a major danger — One examine discovered a 20% elevated danger of kidney illness from NSAIDs;4 others discovered as much as 212%.5 Amongst kidney failure sufferers, 65.7% had been discovered to be continual NSAID customers.6
• NSAIDs increase cardiovascular dangers — NSAIDs additionally enhance the chance of coronary heart assaults and dying (e.g., intensive research have discovered between a 24% to 326% enhance7,8,9). Two of the worst ones, Vioxx (Merck)10 and Celebrex (Pfizer),11 had been designed to cut back abdomen bleeding however as an alternative triggered coronary heart assaults and strokes.
Merck hid information on Vioxx’s dangers; ultimately it was withdrawn after an estimated 120,000 deaths.12 Celebrex, nonetheless in the marketplace, has been linked to 75,000 deaths.13 Merck’s dealing with of Vioxx14 later knowledgeable how pharma pushed the HPV vaccine and mRNA vaccines.15
• Gastrointestinal bleeding is frequent and infrequently deadly — In 1999, over 16,000 Individuals died from it.16 NSAIDs additionally trigger small bowel injury in over 50% of continual customers17 — typically undetected — resulting in “small bowel enteropathy” and probably continual sickness via intestine permeability.18
• They impair therapeutic, particularly of ligaments, creating long-term re-injury danger.19
Notice: The risks of NSAIDs are mentioned additional right here.
The poor efficacy of OTC ache drugs, together with their vital toxicity, was one of many main causes I spent the final yr attempting to convey consideration to DMSO, which is dramatically simpler than every other over-the-counter possibility (e.g., I compiled intensive literature demonstrating that right here, and have obtained properly over a thousand studies from readers saying it produced miraculous enhancements in ache).
Tylenol Toxicity
Tylenol (acetaminophen or paracetamol) is mostly thought-about safer than NSAIDs, although it too is usually ineffective for extreme ache. When metabolized, it produces the metabolite NAPQI (N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine), which is extremely poisonous to liver cells as a result of it irreversibly binds to important mobile proteins.
Sometimes, comparatively little NAPQI is produced and is rapidly neutralized by liver glutathione. Nonetheless, when an excessive amount of Tylenol is taken, the opposite cleansing pathways get saturated, glutathione shops get used up, and speedy liver dying from unneutralized NAPQI ensues.
Because of this, Tylenol overuse results in 56,000 ER visits, 2,600 hospitalizations, and 500 deaths yearly in America.20 Moreover, Tylenol has a number of different main points:
• NAPQI can also be poisonous to the kidneys, and in 1% to 2% of overdose circumstances, the kidneys are additionally broken.21
• Quite a few research have linked gastrointestinal unwanted effects to using Tylenol.
• In a single evaluate, 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 continual renal failure (+19–129%).22
• A scientific evaluate recognized information suggesting continual Tylenol use elevated blood stress, elevated bronchial asthma (a doable 15% enhance), and triggered a 3.6 to three.7 enhance in gastric bleeding.23
• Tylenol has been related to an elevated danger of blood cancers: +16% from low use and +84% from excessive use.24
• In kids of moms chronically utilizing Tylenol, a evaluate 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 latest systematic evaluate 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 danger, 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 expertise, consideration, cognition, feelings, and habits.
Notice: This examine is arguably probably the most definitive proof that Tylenol isn’t secure throughout being pregnant and was the one Trump and RFK’s staff highlighted at their latest vaccine announcement.
All of this led to a relatively peculiar media phenomenon:
Notice: Quite a few inside paperwork27 and public statements have proven that by 2017, Tylenol’s producer was properly conscious of the drug’s hyperlink to autism.28
Treating Fevers
A typical hospital process is for nurses to verify sufferers’ important indicators each few hours, and if something is irregular, contact the supervising physician. One in all my continuous challenges was telling nurses I didn’t wish to deal with fevers — one thing which medical doctors had diametrically opposed views on, with the bulk eager to deal with fevers. I used to be fairly astonished to see the pinnacle of the FDA communicate out in opposition to this apply:
• Why can we deal with fevers? — There are just a few justifications for treating fevers:
1. Fevers considerably enhance metabolic demand on the physique, putting extra stress on important organs. In ICU settings the place organ capabilities are compromised, decreasing metabolic demand might delay survival — although it’s acknowledged that fevers assist in eliminating infections. There is no such thing as a clear consensus inside important care on how fevers needs to be managed.
Notice: Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation, a potent remedy for infectious ailments that additionally treats a wide range of different situations and infrequently seems to “re-energize” the physique, as a myriad of poorly functioning techniques resume their regular operate throughout a UVBI session. I point out this as one of many main “unwanted effects” of UVBI is that when it eliminates an an infection it’s going to typically create a fever.
2. Excessive fevers could cause mind injury. 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 injury usually received’t happen except the fever exceeds 107.6°F.30
3. In kids, fevers can typically result in seizures. Nonetheless, a 2017 Cochrane evaluate discovered that fever-reducing drugs present no profit for stopping febrile seizures,31 and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends in opposition to this apply.32
4. To cut back the discomfort of the fever — the first purpose most Tylenol is prescribed, although I don’t agree with this method.
• Arguments in opposition to treating fevers:
1. Fevers present useful diagnostic details about new or recurring infections.
Notice: In infants, unexplained fevers over 100° typically warrant a (justified) fast analysis for sepsis — which is one among many explanation why the (fever-causing) new child hepatitis B vaccine is so problematic.
2. Relapsing fevers characterize sure autoimmune and infectious ailments, so, if a fever is artificially suppressed, the diagnostic sign is misplaced.
3. The physique depends upon fevers to remove sickness, and in some trials, suppressing fevers extends the length of sickness.33
4. As Tylenol has systemic toxicity and reduces liver operate and glutathione (essential to detoxify toxins), this could worsen sure sicknesses or enhance the probability a vaccine will trigger autism.
5. Suppressing febrile sicknesses transforms them into extra extreme infections.
Of those, the fifth is the least appreciated and therefore might be expanded upon.
The 1918 Influenza
In December 2019, I grew to become conscious of COVID-19 and have become very frightened that it might trigger critical issues. We spent January and February learning a wide range of assets, together with literature from the 1918 pandemic that offered important insights for treating COVID-19 (and saved the lives of these in our shut circle).
Notice: I take into account the 1918 influenza pandemic probably the most lethal and devastating pandemics in historical past. Over 2.5% of these contaminated died34 (with a lot increased charges starting from 12% to 90% in Native American populations).35 Since many of the remedies tried failed, the few that labored had been fairly noteworthy.
All through that literature, many clinicians treating the an infection said that utilizing aspirin on sufferers’ fevers considerably elevated their danger 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 necessary in combating infections. A few of the key pathways embody: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 injury to pathogens
• Fevers gradual 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 unwell (significantly with infrared mats) typically made them really feel considerably higher instantly, and now not need fever treatment.
From this, I fashioned the speculation that the discomfort related to fevers outcomes not from the warmth itself, however relatively 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 often failing to stop smallpox and severely injuring many recipients (detailed right here).
When the smallpox vaccine was administered, it might typically trigger a major inflammatory pores and skin response. The medical subject noticed that those that the vaccine failed to guard had additionally not developed the attribute pores and skin eruption. As such, they adopted the stance that if the vaccine “didn’t take,” it wanted to be reapplied till the pores and skin eruption occurred.
In distinction, dissident physicians concluded the pores and skin response was a proxy for a functioning immune system, so these the place “it didn’t take” had been the identical individuals who had been more likely to develop into severely unwell from smallpox (therefore making vaccination pointless).
Notice: A case may 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 continual points.
Notice: A lot of these neurological accidents mirrored what could be seen from blood cells clumping collectively and obstructing blood movement, a standard consequence of vaccination that outcomes from electrical potential shifts within the blood.
Classes from Chinese language Drugs
Chinese language medication’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 medication (known as blood stasis), and blood stasis turning into a main reason behind sickness roughly coincides with when the smallpox vaccine was launched to China.
Inside Chinese language medication, signs differ by how deeply illness has penetrated the physique. Systemic microclotting initially compromises blood movement within the smallest vessels, however because it worsens, bigger clots type that hinder medium and ultimately giant vessels. If the pathogenic issue penetrates deeper, the situation transforms from an acute response to an insidious “latent” continual sickness. In flip, to revive well being, Chinese language medication seeks to expel the pathogenic elements by shifting them to the floor.
Fevers and Most cancers
Anthroposophic medication, based by Austrian mystic Rudolph Steiner, posits that cancers consequence from a “chilly” state, the place the warming affect of the physique’s bioenergetic subject is diminished. Fevers had been seen as obligatory for sustaining bioenergetic vitality and immune power. Steiner believed childhood sicknesses that produced fevers had been important for permitting each the physique and the immune system to mature. Since Steiner’s time, proof has amassed supporting his speculation:
• Not having a childhood chickenpox an infection will increase the chance of mind most cancers later in life.38,39,40,41
• Not having a mumps an infection will increase the chance of (often lethal) ovarian most cancers.42,43,44
• Earlier infections of influenza, measles, mumps, or chickenpox lower one’s danger of malignant melanoma.45
• Measles and mumps have been noticed to almost halve the probability of getting a coronary heart assault, stroke, or mind bleed.46
In 1891, an American surgeon noticed {that a} affected person with an inoperable sarcoma skilled spontaneous tumor regression after surviving a extreme streptococcal an infection. He concluded that the excessive fever might have cured their most cancers, and created a mix of bacterial endotoxins (Coley’s toxins) which efficiently handled many most cancers sufferers. Nonetheless, as radiation and chemotherapy emerged, his method grew to become largely forgotten.
Right this moment, a associated method — complete physique hyperthermia — has been extensively utilized in Germany for many years, and is now considered 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 religious illnesses. I by no means forgot that convention as a result of it appropriately predicted the brand new sicknesses that might comply with (which included anxiousness, despair, psychopathy, mass shootings, and religious disconnection).
This prediction mirrored a perception inside many colleges of pure medication that therapeutic requires shifting deep points to the floor, and that typical medication as an alternative creates continual sickness as a result of the drugs used are suppressive in nature, and by bringing issues inward, rework minor acute reactions into higher long-lasting issues later.
Homeopaths, for instance, map this via Hering’s Regulation of Remedy, which states signs enhance from head down, inside out, and in reverse order of emergence.48
Notice: I’ve seen quite a few circumstances the place acute sickness grew to become extreme and lifelong after (suppressive) steroids had been reflexively given (significantly to deal with the signs of undiagnosed Lyme illness).
Moreover, many consider parallel depth exists inside physique, thoughts, and spirit. When bodily signs are suppressed, extra profound points emerge mentally or spiritually. Likewise, psychiatric drugs, by suppressing the present emotion, typically create deeper psychiatric or religious points (e.g., antidepressants create attribute responses together with emotional anesthetization and religious disconnection).
Notice: An African shaman who visited American psychiatric establishments offered quite a few compelling examples of this religious suppression which mirror what I’ve additionally noticed.49
• Suppressive antibiotics — Pure medication practitioners additionally often noticed antibiotics “treating” acute infections in change for creating continual situations (e.g., Chinese language Drugs describes “Latent Warmth” the place pathogenic elements penetrate with out inflicting obvious signs, incubating and later emerge50).
A consortium of researchers offered a proof for this: when micro organism face deadly stressors (significantly cell wall-destroying antibiotics), relatively than die, some enter a survival mode and rework into misshapen cell wall-deficient (CWD) micro organism.51
In depth 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 throughout the cells) and that these micro organism, in some circumstances, can rework again to regular and trigger the beforehand vanquished an infection to recur.52
• Autism and Tylenol — Throughout my pediatric rotations throughout my medical coaching, I noticed circumstances 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 steadily got here throughout increasingly more circumstances (e.g., shared by mother and father) the place the response was much more extreme, with the kid growing a everlasting developmental incapacity. I finally concluded three doable mechanisms could possibly be at work:
◦These had been direct illustrations of how driving signs inwards creating worse outcomes.
◦Fevers enhance blood circulation and cut back clumping, stopping mind injury 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 develop into more and more troublesome to disregard. Current systematic opinions 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.
Nonetheless, the implications lengthen past simply Tylenol and autism. This dialogue highlights a basic drawback in trendy medication: the reflexive suppression of acute signs could also be reworking manageable, short-term sicknesses into extreme, continual situations.
Whether or not via fever suppression, overuse of antibiotics that create antibiotic-resistant or dormant bacterial types, 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 want 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 really obligatory versus when it might trigger extra hurt than good.
Writer’s Notice: That is an abridged model of an extended article which works into higher particulars on the factors talked about right here, together with pure options for managing ache or infections, the way to choose safer antibiotics and methods to reverse the long-term penalties of suppressive medicines.
