ANOTHER SMOKING GUN BITES THE DUST

This is a 2014 rehash article by Brian Ho**er ( who is of the belief that his son’s Autism was caused by the MMR vaccine) who used the raw data from Dr Thompson 2002 study that is currently being referenced by a trial lawyer with no relevant medical knowledge as evidence that vaccines cause Autism.

Dr Thompson’s study was published in 2002. He and Ho**er did not make contact until almost a decade later at which point Ho**er published his study which was retracted for reasons that can be read in the link below.

A significant number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder suffer a loss of previously-acquired skills, suggesting neurodegeneration or a type of progressive encephalopathy with an etiological basis occurring after birth. The purpose ...

There is a growing body of research highlighting the significant overlap between autism and Paediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS), with studies indicating that a notable proportion of children with autism also meet diagnostic criteria for PANS, and both conditions can share symptoms like sudden behavioral changes and .

The recent paper by Han et al. investigated the biological underpinnings of PANS, a condition often triggered by infection or stress. The study compared children with PANS and other neurodevelopmental disorders to neurotypical controls, finding that both PANS and non-PANS groups reported higher rates of early and regression in development than controls, highlighting a shared vulnerability in neurodevelopmental trajectories among affected children.

A key discovery from the study is the identification of abnormal gene expression patterns in children with PANS. While standard immune tests were typically normal, advanced RNA sequencing showed an upregulation of genes involved in ribosomal biogenesis and RNA methyltransferases, alongside a downregulation in functions related to activity, cell signalling, and immunological responses.

Single-cell analyses confirmed these findings and revealed that the changes varied across different immune cell types. Immune cells from PANS patients showed blunted responses to stimulation, indicating a dysregulated that does not mount typical inflammatory reactions.

Further, RNA sequencing before and after treatment in PANS patients demonstrated a reversal of several dysfunctional cellular pathways, including those related to ribosomes, epigenetics. This suggests that some of the molecular abnormalities seen in PANS may be treatable or at least modifiable with targeted therapies.

The significance of this study for is its revelation of shared molecular characteristics between PANS and other neurodevelopmental disorders, pointing to common pathways involving epigenetic and immune system issues. By emphasizing how immune dysregulation influences brain development, the findings encourage exploration of new treatment approaches—like immune-modulating or epigenetic therapies—that could improve outcomes and reduce neuropsychiatric challenges in conditions involving developmentalr egression, including certain cases of autism.

🧠To date the 2024-2025 Influenza Season has postnatally aborted 266 children and the final tally will not be in for several more weeks.

🧠The overwhelming majority were previously healthy & unvaccinated.

🧠 This is just 20 abortions away from the record since data collection began

🧠 This season providers caring for children have seen an increase in Acute Necrotizing Encephalitis which has a 27% mortality rate and residual neurologic defect rate as high as 40% depending on the deficit

🧠 I did not include data on the number of children postnatally aborted by way of Influenza Vaccination in this same time period because all my searching was for naught. If anyone has data from a reputable source feel free to send in comment section. Opinion pieces from unqualified people in positions of political power sans a list of easy accessible confirmatory sources supporting their commentary should never be confused with reputable sources of information

For most children, influenza (flu) usually means unpleasant symptoms like a fever, sore throat, and achy muscles. But for a small subset of kids, the flu can trigger a rare but serious complication...

Would you just look at that👀

🧠Genetic variants identified that predispose patients to developing pericarditis / myocarditis after Covid Vaccination. A variant that causes post vaccination pathology will cause post covid infection pathology until proven otherwise

🧠 Post Covid Myocarditis / Pericarditis is rare but not as rare as Post Covid Vaccination Myocarditis / Pericarditis because whatever bad a Covid vaccine can do a Covid infection can do better.

🧠If a patient has an adverse reaction to vaccination ( please see Autism) as a result of a genetic variant present at birth this clearly does NOT mean the Vaccine is bad / dangerous / should be pulled from the market. Genetics is the bad guy in this scenario same as it always is. Talk to the hand.

🧠Genetics Always Loads The Gun. Environment / Exposure Pulls The Trigger.

This genome-wide association study (GWAS) explores the genetic components of severe adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination, with focus on myocarditis and pericarditis. Three SNPs (rs536572545, rs146289966 and rs142297026) near the SCAF11 gene were linked to pericarditis, while rs570375365 in....

I can confirm based on my patient base

I can also confirm that prescribing Zmax & Steroids to a patient with a Negative Rapid Strep & Covid test who presents within 24 hours of symptom onset is BAD MEDICINE as is NOT prescribing Paxlovid after diagnosing a patient with Covid by way of a positive rapid test within 48 hours of symptom onset.

If you are an adult the chance of your sore throat being due to Strep is slim to none without a known close confirmed by swab case of Group A Strep. Every sore throat in an adult is viral until proven otherwise. Taking steroids on the front end of a viral infection suppresses immune function and facilitates pathogen virulence. Covid is no exception to this rule.

Paxlovid just like Tamiflu is VERY effective at preventing serious outcomes ( not preventing all degree of symptoms) when taken within 48 hours of symptoms onset. If you have never taken either one of these medications within the appropriate time frame after being diagnosed by swab you have no frame of reference or credibility as a source of negative commentary as to its effectiveness or not.

Q.
Why are many foods fortified with nutrients not easily accessible on a regular basis to all Americans?

A.
To protect the least of our brothers & mothers from nutritional deficiencies of significance🧠

Q.
Why is salt iodized?

A
To prevent Thyroid Goiters from developing in America’s least of our brothers who by way of not winning the genetic luck are disadvantaged by way of parental socioeconomic status and / or lack of concern🧠

Q.
What happened when the country became obsessed with avoiding Iodized Salt?

A.
A majority of them developed Iodine defeciency🧠

I know this is an indisputable fact because I became curious as to whether I would begin to see Iodine deficiencies in my patients as a result of a country gone cuckoo for Himalayan sea salt. A few years into the still going strong culinary craze I began checking iodine levels ( which I continue to this day) on the majority of my adult patients whenever I run labs for any reason with the exception of those patients without insurance coverage for lab work. I have been doing this for as long as the avoid iodized salt craze has been going on minus 2-3 years to allow for observable by lab work deficiencies to develop.

Without having the ability to officially calculate the exact percentage of patients checked who were Iodine deficient I can say with confidence that close to 75% were below the low level of normal. I can say with absolute certainty that 100% of my iodine deficient patients had been intentionally using non-iodized salt for at least a year & 100% of those who went back to to using only iodized salt had a iodine deficiency never more. Not so much for those who were not sold on the the Keep It Simple Stupid aka KISS theory and trialed expensive supplements before the iodized salt shaker.

Q.
Why is water Flouridated?

A.
For the same dead bad genetic luck of the draw horse reason that salt is Iodized & food is fortified🧠

Q.
What will the future hold for an unfluoridated Florida?

A.
For Those children who did win the genetic luck of the draw who have parents with the ability & desire to do right by their child and ensure they are brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste there will be a Net Zero effect🧠

Those who were not so lucky in the lottery of life will see an increase in cavities which may or may not be treated for reasons of parental neglect and / or cuts to government funded programs that provide medical / dental care to the less than lucky demographic. This increase in cavities and the more serious complications that comes from not treating cavities in a timely manner will require increased funds be allocated to government funded programs committed (at least on paper) to protecting the health of children

Q.
Is there proof that fluoridation of water at appropriate levels ( At or less than 0.71 ppm) causes cognitive deficit?

A.
There is not. Persistent Exposure to water with fluoride levels above above save levels can cause harm🧠

Q.
If there are areas in Florida with levels of Fluoride above 0.71 ppm is banning Fluoridation of water in all of Florida the best way to prevent harm from excess Fluoride exposure AND protect the millions of less than lucky children currently living in Florida?

A.
Not so much says science, math, good, great or Godly 🧠

The Truth rarely ever lives in the extreme and personal exceptions will never ever negate the rules🧠

The decade's old public health intervention has been a big boost in the fight against tooth decay.
