I testified in front of the Gove Oversight & Reform Committee in 2004 re new developments in treating children with autism. I was pulled aside by a Congressional aide and told that everyone in the upper tier of government who wanted to know whether vaccines were causing autism already knew that vaccine did cause autism and they weren't going to do anything about it.

I was told the the vaccine induced encephalitis we call autism would never have a piece of legislation that mentioned treatment and autism together because it would eventually lead to blaming the vaccines - not allowed when the government has been bled out from the inside by Big Pharma.

Thanks for doing what you could.

Yep! I was told by the left and the right in DC that their hands were tied! Translation: If we investigate we will be replaced in the next election! No guts and no glory! Just go with the flow and who cares if over 100,000 of our children are maimed!

Thank you for sharing. I have a son with autism. I’ve always believed vaccines were to blame.

Not all moms with a child with autism vaccinated the child. Do you have other family members with autism or possible autism? Do you think the reported genetic association is possibly confounded with family members of autistic children, even if not necessarily the parents themselves, being vaccinated?

Expand full comment

If the mother was vaccinated the child can be born with highly abnormal missing bifidobacteria. The hazard to brain development is getting to be well established. Other Pharma products and exposures can do the same.

Many discussions of a genetic link have been tossed around. We have 4 children. 2 sons who are both adults, the younger brother has autism. 2 younger children now in their teens are our adopted kids, niece and nephew on my husbands side. Their birth mom is addicted to drugs and alcohol and has been diagnosed bipolar among other things. A couple of distant relatives on husbands side of the family have autism. I have always wondered if there is a genetic predisposition for some to react to vaccines which trigger autism.

Expand full comment

There certainly could be the genetic predisposition you wonder about. Bipolar is associated with drug and alcohol use and also with risk of OCPD which is correlated with autism. Drug and alcohol use are also associated with the a1 allele of the D2 dopamine receptor gene and I wonder how it fits in. There appears to be an association between autism and homosexuality in males and there is a tendency for male homosexuals to be the youngest brother or to have older brothers, although male homosexuality appears to be associated with stress at the end of the first trimester. Sometimes even in identical twin boys, one brother will be homosexual whereas the other is not. Infection with viruses such as influenz during pregnancy has been linked to schizophrenia and there may be a link between schizophrenia and bipolar. It's all very complex and still not well understood.

My 3 other children are fine, above average intelligence though our youngest adopted son has ADHD & mild dyslexia. He is a math whiz and a gifted athlete. We know for a fact his birth mom abused drugs and alcohol when pregnant with him. Both our adopted kids are doing extremely well given their traumatic start in life.

That is good to hear Chelie. You are doing a very fine thing helping these disadvantaged kids to have a normal life!

My unvaccinated, and autistic, son's dad is autistic and I'm pretty sure grandpa is too. The 'tism, as my son calls it, runs strong in this family.

Expand full comment

That makes sense

There's definitely a strong genetic component to the condition. At least nobody any longer subscribes to the "refrigerator mom" theory. There was a time when it was really popular to blame mothers for everything. Thank goodness we have moved on from that nonsense.

My older brother was born in 1945, and over the years I have finally concluded that he was/is most likely on the autism spectrum. Nothing else explains his odd behavior and personality. He is highly intelligent...he got a full math scholarship to U.C. Berkeley in 1963, but his social behavior was always so odd. My parents didn't know what to do with him in his growing up years, and it was very distressing to them. My mother once told me doctors suggested some horrible type of electric shock treatments, but they refused to do that. Given when he was born, he had minimal vaccines. Both he and I got measles, mumps and chicken pox as children in the 1950s . He probably got a polio vaccine on a sugar cube as I did, but his apparent autism predates that. As for genetic links, I know of no one else in our extended family that were like him.

The are plenty of both vaxxed and unvaxxed with autism.

I wonder if the vaccines could also cause adhd. I’d never heard of it until my youngest was diagnosed.

Many of the children I treated diagnosed with ADD/ADHD actually had heavy metal toxicity. Where were they getting these heavy metals? Do you know that infants today spend 70% of their first year with neurotoxic levels of aluminum from the vaccine they receive in the first year.

That’s why my youngest granddaughter is going unvaccinated through her 2nd yr.

Turtles all The Way Down convinced me and my daughter-n-law.

Can you tell me how to detox heavy metal toxicity? I have a 4 year old granddaughter that is level 4 non-verbal. She is starting to talk SOME finally. I don't know how they test for the heavy metal toxicity but can you just treat for it and see if it helps?

Expand full comment

There are several benign interventions that can help improve detoxification from heavy metals. The peptide glutathione is perhaps the best known but it needs to be taken in a form that will get past the stomach - liposomal glutathione or n-acetyl glutathione. There are also products that contain cilantro and chorella - very gently way to detox. Silica can help with aluminum. Of course, it is always best to know what one is dealing with and a provocative urine toxic metal screed would be one way to accomplish that (DMSA being the provocative agent).

Thank you so much for answering Dr. Stoller!

Many kids with autism also have ADHD. There's a complex co-relationship between ADHD and OCPD, the supposed personality disorder (probably really another neurodevelopmental disorder) that Hitler appeared to have and which many of the public health bureaucrats like Fauci and Walensky also appear to have. The OCPD afflicted tend to believe they are always right and are resistant to disconfirming evidence. High functioning autism like Aspergers (afflicting Elon Musk, Bill Gates etc) and OCPD are correlated.

That's the problem because vaccines have never been tested or studied properly. We really have no clue what giving children 60-70 injections of this junk really does. And big pharma does not want us to know.

Just look at some of the posts on this thread. And you can see how easy it is to hide the vaccine theory of autism. A few factors that will ‘muddy the waters’; The definition of autism is flexible and is used by many to deny the autism explosion. The genetic component of autism is used to deny any environmental contribution to the epidemic. Because there is often a significant time delay between vaccination and onset of autism symptoms, the two are often not associated with each other. But more importantly the government, corporate media and academia do not allow and actively discourage any investigation into the vaccine-autism hypothesis. If the Covid debacle has taught us anything, it is that the government, big pharma and corporate media will go to any lengths to coverup and hide the truth of medical policy error.

Sadly it's the control behind Big Pharma, but most will call it conspiracy.

I have believed this for YEARS! But every time I tried to bring it up I was shouted down and told studies had already been done and there was no link between autism and childhood vaccinations. Well now I know not to believe anything the government/CDC/etc. say. BUT I do believe SOME autism is genetic but that does not explain the skyrocketing cases in the last 30-40 years. So I FINALLY found something that made sense. It was in the last 30-40 years that they added the additional component of either HIB or Hep B. I can't remember which one. Anyway it finally made sense!

There are no genetic epidemics. There are certain genes than make it more likely you will have poor detoxification kinetics, and there are about 12 genes in the medical literature that are associated with increased adverse event risk from vaccines, but there are no genes that have been identified that make one prone to autism.

In 2000-2003 I was in an autistic classroom kindergarten age, as a teacher assistant. 2 kids were “ crack babies”, the rest autistic. One in 148 back then. The parents had no doubt about the correlation to vaccines. Ironically I went on disability from a booster shot injury & got Lyme disease during my most rewarding job ever. I remember when dr Bradstreet and a dozen other researchers and doctors all passed under questionable conditions, they had proof & were helping children heal. Years later I found out that my primary care doctor was bullied into submission, he’d been treating Lyme successfully before I met him. Threaten with defending every Medicare bill he ever submitted if he didn’t stop. ( I have an integrative medicine doctor for actual help)

I met Dr Jeff Bradstreet & was fortunate that I got to speak with him several times at different conferences. He gave us tremendously helpful advice. I was planning to have him evaluate my son but never got to before he died. I will be never believe the suicide story there. Especially given his research and discoveries.

I’m glad you got to talk to him & sad about the timing concerning your son. I didn’t know about him until a few years later.

Besides Big Pharma, I suggest we also look at the issues caused Big Farma: bogus food pyramids, "healthy whole grains", sugar and HFCS, seed oils, veganism...

If everyone ate a proper diet for humans, there would be so much less mental and physical illness.

Nah! It’s caused by Tylenol given to pregnant women during her pregnancy! Latest bit of miss direction to side track RFK Jr. Who knows the truth!

There are many moms out there including myself who never took Tylenol during pregnancy, who have a child with autism.

Vaccine makers are creating miss direction to confuse our politicians who are gutless and the public! It is criminal to inject new borns with 25 vaccines before they are 6 months old. RFK Jr got it right!

Could it be not just the Covid jab, but the far too many vaccines pushed on children. Recent friends who moved here from Belgium said the most shocking thing was the number of vaccines. In their experience most Belgium kids received about 12 vaccines. When they immigrated they had to get about 8 vaccines, which they did and they were not happy about this. I would like to see somebody create a spread sheet comparing required vaccines in various countries. Just curious.

You can't just say its vaccines.... there are a lot of industrial chemicals being used now that didn't exist in 1970 too. Glysophates (ie roundup weed killer) seem to have a connection with autism, dementia, and Alzheimer's.

We allowed our kids to be injected with poisons like mercury and aluminum all in the name of protecting them with endless vaccines they don't even need. This is the result. No doubt in my mind.
