You have been very helpful with the Covid detox without discrediting the Covid scam,
You’re not naming big Pharma’s vaccines as the cause of Autism
and add other environmental toxins as also causes.
This destroys any case that a mother has in suing any medical professional or big Pharma against vaccines. And that is not very fair.
The real research and collection of evidence has got to come from mothers.
I am that mother.
I am 58 and grew up poor but very healthy, among a huge family of cognitively healthy siblings and cousins.
Mothers who were too poor to eat nutritious food while pregnant delivered babies with lower intellect. Many of these mothers lacked in iodine. But These were far and few between.
Vaccination started in Ireland in the mid eighties with the MMR and a lot of these children developed chromes disease. It is my understanding that the gut microbiome was damaged immediately from these vaccines. As the years rolled by and another vaccine was given at birth, Vitamin K, which began the destruction of the baby’s gut. Soon, children began to be diagnosed with Autism.
Yes, 2020 saw the rise of processed food in Ireland, and chemicals in our agricultural land and vaccines in our cows, all put on top of a gut microbiome that was destroyed from unnecessary vaccines, more cognitive disabilities were diagnosed and soon autoimmune disorders.
A commenter on another substack (a pharmacist) stated that a pediatrician in Illinois, who had, over his years in practice, 10,000 patients. He did not vaccinate them. Zero cases of autism.
The commenter was Thomas A. Braun, RPh. It appeared yesterday (4/14/2025) on Dr. Malone's substack. The town was Elk Grove, Illinois. I re-read the comment & it does not state that the doctor was a pediatrician. He may have been a general practitioner.
Febrile seizures? The hospital ER told us they were harmless.🥺 Dr. McCullough, if there is a way I could send you a letter, I would love to send you one regarding the hypermobile EDS community because it ties so much of this together. We have mast cell activation and a high prevalence of autism in our community. We have many spinal issues and our son has a lower level spina bifida. Another had febrile seizures. Covid and especially the Covid vaccines caused a spiral of decline in our patient patient population. We already have issues with cytokines. Mast cells are all throughout our connective tissue, which is breaking down. If I could send you this info, please let me know to where I could send it. HEDS is on the rise prevalence-wise! Thank you!
We are a community of people who chelate for metals using the Andy Cutler protocol. Andy was a chemistry PhD who figured out this protocol based on the pharmacokinetics of heavy metals and their interaction with actual, dithiol chelators.
I think you are right to talk about "risk factors." I asked Andy once about the tendency to accumulate mercury as related to intelligence. All he would allow is that intelligence seems a "risk factor" for getting toxic.
The inability to excrete mercury very well is genetic and runs in families. Andy discusses this in his book "Amalgam Illness," and also in "Hair Test Interpretation." MTHFR is not relevant in the context of detoxing mercury. It plays a part in other toxicities perhaps, but not this one. Mammals don't have the enzyme to methylate mercury.
We think that the huge, foundational "risk factor" for autism is mercury. Autism is the worst case scenario of mercury toxicity in children. Dementia is what it looks like in the elderly. Mercury, with its possible more than 250 different symptoms, nicely explains all the other chronic health problems we are seeing.
Andy developed 5 statistical tests to look for "deranged mineral transport" in hair tests. Only mercury causes this because of the way it damages cell membranes. He saw thousands of hair tests and I have seen thousands of them, too. Almost all the children who show up in our support group have this on their tests. Almost all of them react to chelators. Almost all of them get better when they are detoxed in this way. Andy stated that 50% or children recover with chelation alone, another 25% need chelation and some other therapy, and for the final 25% it is something other than mercury.
It appears that lack of mercury chelation potential and vaccines could be the top two major variables in autism. Would you agree or have other #2, #3's in mind?
There is a subset of people who excrete it pretty quickly so it doesn't build up in their brain and sensitive organs as much. But once it is in those places, it does not come out on its own. The half-life of mercury in the brain, for instance, is along the lines of 35 years.
"Chelation" is not a term we use to refer to natural detox processes. Chelation is a chemistry term and has to do with molecules that can latch on to these heavy metals. To get mercury out of your brain, you have to use a fat soluble chelator.
Some kids excrete better than others so they can tolerate more exposure. But enough exposure will poison anyone. And it sure looks like that is what is happening.
The main variable is mercury. It must still be in the vaccines. Otherwise how are the children getting exposed.
Andy postulated that the pediatricians are using the adult multi-dose vials for kids because they are cheaper and nobody keeps track. I am thinking “trace amounts” in the pediatric shots, plus the flu shots still preserved with mercury, plus the bigger number of shots.
Of course now they are giving a bunch of shots to pregnant women, too. I think that started in 2003.
I deeply appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to address this extremely sensitive issue. Your live presentation was the most comprehensive I've seen. I believe by September 2nd that there will be a correlation found and publicly announced based on data we already have and some that has been buried that will point to childhood vaccines as a determinant risk factor for autism.
For years, it was an accepted concept that the lymphatic system ended at the region of the neck. However, it is now known that lymphatic tissue has been found in the brain. The aluminum (a neurotoxin) is picked-up by the lymphatic system & travels to the brain. An excellent book on the damage caused by vaccines is, "Crooked: Man-Made Disease Explained" by Forrest Maready. The chapter titled, "The Way It Moves" is especially informative.
I suspected RFK Jr.'s announcement would be a dud. You can't do new research in that short time.
But actually, what RFK Jr. is doing is elevating his own status against the Evil Doers.
And between accomplishing the easy stuff wrt food contaminants and maybe removing most Fluoride from our water, he can soon make some controversial moves that Big Pharma will not have the power to stop.
Namely the big decisions I am waiting for are:
1. updating the Children's vaccine schedule which at a minimum will remove the mRNA Jab.
2. Canceling the EUA for the mRNA jab? There is no emergency, so why is the EUA still in effect.
However, once that happens, it isn't clear if Pfizer/Moderna will find a way to justify keeping them on the market.
3. Finally, his most important appointment, that of his permanent Asst. of Health, has not even been announced. It will likely be an enemy of Big Pharma, like Dr. McCullough himself.
There may be no one more qualified and in tune with the goals of RFK Jr.
ETERNALLY GRATEFUL to you for again choosing to research and then speak TRUTH COURAGEOUSLY and SACRIFICIALLY AGAIN...this time regarding the true epidemic of Autism.

Dr. McCullough, with respect, please watch this and see this and see if you still think there is no single cause. This does not cite double blind placebo whatever, whatever studies, but there is no way someone with critical thinking skills could not consider that vaccines may be THE cause. (Note: this documentary includes other injuries as well.) https://rumble.com/v2tlo3g-vaxxed-2-movie.html
Before discussing cause, causes, or risk factors for autism, it is important to define what "autism" is. A good working definition is bound to be controversial, in that so many varieties of what has been referred to as autism exist, leading to the new catch-all term "autistic spectrum disorder". "Developmental disorder" is even broader, and includes problems that may not belong with the autism spectrum of diagnoses. How can one determine what causes a problem when you can't even define what it is? Ultimately, I like a term like "acquired neuropsychiatric developmental disorder" better, since these disorders do not appear at birth, but only after spending some time in this world. This n-p developmental disorder can include many diagnoses and comprise many etiologies. Diagnosis itself is a matter for ontologists to debate -- are they just artificial constructs or do they represent something real? When truth is fuzzy, it's best to keep the classification system a bit fuzzy too.
I'm shocked to hear of a lack of autism therapy! There are a couple of things you can do at home for free. If by any luck the individual is reasonably functional, these may be for you.
Manual supposing - The autist may be lured into understanding a live reality through a singular method, that is, in observing and attempting to decipher what is going on.
This is wrong. This is because the base assumptions needed to understand have not been considered. They have one component, the literal understanding yes, but they need the second one, the supposition, for the live reality to fit into and form an understanding.
Watching or observing a reality, is unlikely to access this second component - it should come intuitively but it tends not too so they are going to need to suppose manually.
What I mean by supposing is to access the likely background situation from prior knowledge - a guestimate in other words of one or two simple things rather than by attempting to deduce through endless observation and the acquisition of painful detail because unfortunately, they "can't get it".
The background information needed may be as simple as "you are in a classroom and Mrs Smith is trying to teach you"
You don't want the signal produced by the literal reality to outcompete the ability to generate these simple thoughts. It's a value system as well which needs adjustment.
Neutral positioning - One way of dealing with excessive stimuli and the sheer disorientation caused by snapshotting disparate bits of a live reality is for the autist to find an anchor point.
They should now focus on that anchor but whilst they are doing this, they should then devote a bit of awareness to what is going on in their surroundings, their periphery.
Do they notice how smooth reality is moving there, how no longer reality is jagged and disorientating, that their mind is no longer diving in and ends up fixated on a particular object?
These are a couple of big things which I have/had to put into practice and they work for me.
Speaking of factors, at the core (and I put maybe a year into working this out), in my view, the autist suffers a factor acquisition problem. If we think of us in terms of getting building blocks to understand the world, the autist is too aware of the initial building block in front to avoid seeing the variation within that, so the next bit of information received will be that building block cut into two rather than simply becoming aware of the next block along. That I believe is how the autistic world is constructed and they've now got to deal with the endless spawning of factors as each new derivative block subdivides even further. That's a problem.
Apply that to the real world and it explains why you hear of that disabled kid fixated with his/her toy car or doll. We just see a single toy amongst other toys. For him/her, the correlation achieved with the factors acquired is likely massive and their experience of reality is quite different.
That's my view and I hope I've added some value here.

Jean, could you clarify your comment regarding Vitamin K? I have always thought that was an essential vitamin.
cut the cr.p. Vaccines ARE the cause of autism.

Very interesting post, thanks.
It appears that lack of mercury chelation potential and vaccines could be the top two major variables in autism. Would you agree or have other #2, #3's in mind?
What do you mean by "mercury chelation potential?" You mean that the treatment is not available?
sorry. Terrible way to state:
one's natural ability to reduce mercury toxicity(via chelation dynamics)
So, let's try, would THIS and vaccines be the 1st and 2nd most important variables attributable to autism?
There is a subset of people who excrete it pretty quickly so it doesn't build up in their brain and sensitive organs as much. But once it is in those places, it does not come out on its own. The half-life of mercury in the brain, for instance, is along the lines of 35 years.

Some kids excrete better than others so they can tolerate more exposure. But enough exposure will poison anyone. And it sure looks like that is what is happening.
So, back to the question.
Would you say the #2 cause(variable) of autism is vaccines, assuming mercury, itself, is #1? Or do you simply not have that knowledge. . .
The main variable is mercury. It must still be in the vaccines. Otherwise how are the children getting exposed.
Andy postulated that the pediatricians are using the adult multi-dose vials for kids because they are cheaper and nobody keeps track. I am thinking “trace amounts” in the pediatric shots, plus the flu shots still preserved with mercury, plus the bigger number of shots.
