Jenny McCarthy just opened up about reversing her son’s autism. Her story began with heartbreak. “He lost all of his language.” “They told me … he won’t be able to make friends.” “He’ll never have a job.” “I cried and I mourned.” Then, everything changed. Bookmark this. Every autism parent needs to know that there’s hope out there. McCarthy: “I’m not one of those people to sit on the sidelines.” “I went online and I found an organization that said autism is reversible.” “Generation Rescue.” “I immediately went on the pathway of healing.” “In the beginning, the things that they were telling me to do weren’t crazy.” “Change the diet.” “In two weeks, he said like two words after removing wheat and dairy.” “And then I started looking at the inside, the mitochondrial.” “The supplements, what he was lacking.” “Detoxing.” “The more candida that was coming out of his body, the lights were coming on.” “He was looking at me.” “He was talking to me.” “He was hugging me.” “He was smiling.” @JennyMcCarthy @daveasprey

Dr. Ryan Cole is sounding the alarm. Your kids are bombarded with toxins every single day. This is much worse than you think. Bookmark this. “It’s not just glyphosate.” “It’s atrazine.” “Paraquat.” “Diquat.” “Toxins in certain injections.” “Toxins in the food dyes.” “It’s basically fire on top of fire.” “With glyphosate, just like in vaccines, they have aluminum as an adjuvant that we know gets into the brain and causes issues.” “Glyphosate also has an adjuvant.” “They put something called POEA in it that helps it stick to the leaves better.” “Which makes the effects of glyphosate even worse.” What can parents do to protect your kids? “We can eat as close to nature as possible.” “Avoid the processed foods.” “Avoid the high-fructose corn syrup that has glyphosate in it.” “Avoid the sodas that are sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup that has glyphosate in it.” “We can decrease our exposure rates.” “We can restore health.” @DoctorCole @MedMAPS

This 15-year-old miraculously reversed his autism diagnosis for five years. Then, all of a sudden, he had a regression. Why? His doctors had no clue. But his parents figured it out. And the truth should be a “wake up call” for every autism parent. Bookmark this. “In ‘21-‘22, the 5G was rolled out in most of the suburbs across this country.” Dr. Julie Logan revealed that his parents quickly recognized their son’s regression happened after a “smart meter was installed on their home.” “They moved him to a room far away from it.” “And his symptoms resolved.” And he wasn’t the only one. Dr. Lindsey Wells saw the exact same thing in her own patient. “I had an adult with autism and a smart meter was put on the house and all of a sudden he became extremely … aggressive.” “A new smart meter was put on the house right by his room.” “We moved his room and those symptoms decreased significantly.” @MedMAPS

This autism mom couldn’t find one doctor willing to try a “natural, holistic” path to help her child. Why? The American Academy of Pediatrics. The AAP tells doctors to give 3-year-olds with autism antipsychotic drugs. “It’s barbaric.” Bookmark this. The side effects of antipsychotics will shock every autism parent. “Type 2 diabetes.” “Dyslipidemia,” or an unhealthy or unbalanced level of fats in your blood. “Gynecomastia,” or enlarged breast glands in males. Autism researcher John Slattery ran the first double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of leucovorin, an active form of vitamin B9, in kids with autism. He just called out the American Academy of Pediatrics over its “horrendous” standard of care for autism: “The only medications that we have approved for autism are Risperdal and Abilify.” “They do not address the underlying physiology.” “They sedate the child.” “You’re praised for putting that child on an antipsychotic … and you’re vilified if you consider putting that child on high-dose vitamin B9.” This standard of care completely ignores that autism is a biological issue, not a behavioral one. “No matter how much behavioral therapy you do, if your child has a folate autoantibody, that behavioral therapy isn’t going to produce more folate into that child’s brain.”

This autism dad just opened up about his son’s breakthrough at age 21. His story began with a tragic vaccine injury at 15 months old. But two decades later, a miracle happened. “My son had been in there all the time … ” Bookmark this. It’s one of the most heartwarming stories you’ll ever see. Dr. Brian Hooker: “We started spellers when my son was 21 years old.” “My wife and I learned how to become communication partners with him so we could do this at home.” “It’s so fulfilling, so wonderful.” “It’s easy to learn.” “My son … had been learning all the time.” “He had been understanding all the time.” “In February of 2024, he started to communicate with us openly.” “Nothing can prepare you for all of a sudden being slapped in the face with that level of agency, that level of intelligence.” @BrianHookerPhD @KristenMeghan @WTPatriotsUSA

This autism mom just opened up about being “gaslit” by her doctors. They made her feel crazy just for trusting her own eyes. This is so heartbreaking. Sarah Kernion has two kids with profound autism. She tracked everything. “Moments of growth.” “Skill development.” But when she took that data to doctors, it went nowhere. “When I repeated them to the clinicians, it was as if that data didn’t exist.” She kept pushing. “Help me understand how I’m not being gaslit by what I’m actually seeing.” “There’s no reason for me to make this up.” Now, she tells other parents to trust their eyes and instincts. “There is power in that.” “We should be able to sit in truth and reality and bring that to the table.” @saturdaysstory @LA_in_NC

RFK Jr. just quietly passed transformational change for the autism community. 99% of people didn’t even notice. The media has barely said a word about it. Bookmark this. “This is a huge win for the autism community.” Here’s what happened:🧵 First, Kennedy appointed a whole new slate of members to the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee in January. In August, the new IACC members met to vote on sweeping reforms to how HHS funds autism research and care. Chloe Barnes, host of The Aletheia Project podcast, just broke down the new plan’s biggest changes. “The first was the use of the missing and endangered persons … alert system for individuals with autism who wander or elope.” “The second was adopting the term ‘profound autism’ to help in identifying and including those with the highest support needs in research, policy and funding decisions.” Third, “update and implement HRSA and EPSDT guidelines to address diagnostic overshadowing.” “The implementation directive was to ensure accountability at a federal level for all recommendations.” She said this new plan “speaks volumes of the support that autism families and advocates are finally receiving on a federal level.” And it passed thanks to the public comments submitted by you: Parents and members of the autism community who have spent decades calling for these changes. @SecKennedy @FogelSylvia @uTobian @EMumperMD @AutismActionNet

This autism researcher just declared that regression “should be a medical emergency.” Instead, moms are gaslit by “the experts.” They’re told: “You must have missed the signs, mom.” John Slattery calls that “complete and total nonsense.” “It’s maddening!” Bookmark this. Every autism parent needs to hear it. Slattery: “Development should only go one way.” “A child loses skills in development, that should be a medical emergency.” “We need to have a standard of care around regression.” “Not behavioral diagnostic tests, but actual labs to look for signs of mitochondrial abnormalities.” “If I right now start developing symptoms of slurred speech, I have hemiparesis on one side of my body … you’d go: oh my God, you’re having an acute stroke episode, we need to call 911 and get you to the emergency room as quickly as possible.” “But we don’t do that for a child that is in an acute regressive episode.” This is something that “parents were navigating for decades” all alone. RFK Jr.’s new autism committee finally wants to change that. Their new plan singled out regression as a “top priority” for autism research and care.

“My son was injured by his 15-month shots.” “We treated the fever, rotating … Tylenol, aspirin.” “That’s when he broke.” “He lost eye contact.” “Lost language.” Dr. Brian Hooker just revealed the moment he watched his son’s regression begin. Bookmark this. This is the kind of story that every parent needs to hear before blindly trusting their doctors. “We took him in for his 15-month well-baby checkup.” “There were 3 different vaccines that he needed to get that day.” “My wife and I both jumped in and said: well, he’s sick.” “You vaccinate sick babies?” “And the nurse practitioner was like: we do it all the time.” “She was very nonchalant.” “I really felt like I violated my conscience that day.” “Parents are the best experts.” “If you feel that check, don’t do it.” “We did it, and my son then received 2 thimerosal-containing vaccines.” “And then he got the oral polio, which is a live-virus vaccine.” “He was unwell from that point on.” “He was having consistent bowel movements up to that point.” “But then stopped.” “Just having basically constipation, diarrhea, constipation, diarrhea.” And at 18 months, he was diagnosed with “full-blown autism.” @BrianHookerPhD @KristenMeghan @WTPatriotsUSA

Daniel Keely was diagnosed with autism at 3 years old. He stopped speaking. He stopped smiling. He suffered vision loss. But he never gave up. Now a teenager, he’s officially a member of RFK Jr.’s new autism committee. And his vote just helped pass sweeping reforms. Bookmark this. At last month’s Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee meeting, Daniel declared: “Families have waited 40 years or more for answers.” And as a member of IACC, he got to vote in favor of the historic change that autism families have sought for decades. The IACC’s new plan is a paradigm shift. It finally places autism families at the center of autism care. It admits regression is real. It refutes the assumption that autism is just genetic. It redirects federal funding to finally exposing and addressing the root causes of autism. @RobertKennedyJr @SecKennedy @FogelSylvia

“We’ve vastly overmedicated kids with stimulants.” “These drugs disrupt sleep.” “They stunt growth.” Bookmark this. Andrew Huberman just said the quiet part out loud on Joe Rogan. A bombshell study revealed something every parent needs to know before medicating their kids. “There’s a great study out of WashU.” “This is wild … ” “They compare Ritalin … to a good night’s sleep for kids’ ability to focus.” “It turns out these kids with ADHD, taking these drugs, what they’re really getting is the equivalent of a good night’s sleep.” Huberman revealed he’s heard “thousands of stories” where detoxing, not taking more drugs, vastly reduced symptoms of ADHD. After a two week detox, parents realized: “Holy shit.” “They can focus.” @joerogan @hubermanlab

RFK Jr. just quietly delivered a bombshell win for MAHA parents. This could finally reverse the autism epidemic. How? Kennedy named Dr. John Gaitanis to a major child health department at NIH. Dr. Gaitanis knows the autism epidemic is not genetic. It’s caused by environmental toxins. And he now has the power to transform autism research. He controls a $1.7 billion budget and over 1,100 employees as the new Director of NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Dr. James Neuenschwander just broke down why this is such a big deal with Del Bigtree: “When you look at autism and the research at NIH, where have they put their money?” “Almost all of it’s gone to genetics.” “Over 85% in the last 10 years.” “In the same time period, they spent maybe 1.5-2% on epigenetics and maybe 5% on environmental causes.” “It’s just ridiculous.” “John understands that the answers to things like autism are not in the realm of genetics.” “They’re in the realm of biochemistry, of environmental impact on the health of our children.” “And he’s the guy that is now the head of that organization, and has his fingers on the purse strings of that $1.7 billion.” @delbigtree @MedMAPS
