Secretary Kennedy appeared before the House Ways and Means Committee this morning, and once again, I thought he conducted himself admirably. I thought it doubly worth tuning in because my rep, to whom I've sent two of Secretary Kennedy's books, is on that committee. While I never thought I prompted any sense of urgency wrt the COVID issues near and dear to me, I still give my rep credit for being better than most. But with the general overview of the quality of our representation, my heart repeatedly sank during this morning's exchanges.

Dr. Malone, may God guide you and grant you Divine Expression, as you deliver this exquisite presentation in that autism conference. There will be parents and practitioners, hanging / clinging to your every word.

God bless, good sir.

My 14 year old daughter has severe autism and speaks very little. Her older sister had severe apraxia and is considered high-functioning, the only real leftover is some social difficulties and anxiety. I have given both leucovorin with a very positive result. My older daughter described it as a filter being lifted and seeing everything more clearly. Her crippling anxiety has lessened greatly and now we are much more productive in helping her cope through social difficulties. Her younger sister has had improved mood, speech, engagement, stamina, is learning more, and , most importantly and the most objective marker, it stopped her intractable seizures. We had put her on a strict keto diet to control the seizures, but still were plagued by break through seizures (described as a default setting to the brain). From the moment we started her on folinic acid, they stopped. We have almost completely stopped all the useless seizure medicines they had put her on and the next step will be to take her off of the keto diet gradually. It is estimated that around 70% of ASD kids also have FRAA. And in the studies a little over 80% of those kids had full resolution of their seizures when put on leucovorin.

I do agree with micro-stokes, I think the damage to my younger daughter is partly permanent, but she is accessing many parts of her brain she could not before and that has been very exciting. She was speaking before her autism descended on her (she was pointing and labeling things in books from an early age). Her receptive values have also really improved. I do wish more FRAA testing was done and I ask you to please look at the only study on adult onset Cerebral Folate deficiency, because it appears to mimic dementia or rheumatoid arthritis and appears to be linked to auto-immune issues.

That paper is so critical.

Here is my draft on this; it's not complete yet. Simplifying this for a lay audience is challenging, and I haven't addressed the folate-and-autism issue.

"High homocysteine levels are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular and neurological disease. Chronically elevated levels can damage blood vessel linings, promote arterial plaque buildup and blood clots, and are linked to higher rates of heart attack and stroke. In the brain, excess homocysteine contributes to oxidative stress and impaired neurotransmitter function, increasing the risk of cognitive decline, dementia, depression, and neuropathy, particularly when folate or vitamin B12 levels are low.

In pregnancy, elevated homocysteine is associated with miscarriage, preeclampsia, and birth defects such as neural tube defects.

Overall, it is a marker of impaired methylation and B-vitamin imbalance, with vascular and neurological consequences being among the most clinically important. It is worth noting that the U.S. FDA has mandated the enrichment of wheat flour, cornmeal, and rice flour with folic acid since 1998.

In practical terms, breakfast cereals and baked goods, including store-bought breads, are fortified with folic acid. In individuals who are homozygous for common MTHFR polymorphisms, high or chronic intake of synthetic folic acid may pose risks, as reduced enzymatic activity can impair its metabolism. This may result in the accumulation of unmetabolized folic acid, contributing to disrupted methylation and elevated homocysteine levels. "

Are ALL flours "enriched" with folic acid? How about organic flour?

Charlotte's avatar

In that article by Doorless Carp linking autism and DTaP (here on Substack), there’s a section about what is the best flour with no added folic acid, if you are interested. someone actually did all of that work for you.

Charlotte's avatar

On a side note, Doorless Carp on Substack wrote about a possible link between infants with a milk allergy and the combination of the DTaP vaccination (which uses bovine proteins) that could cause cerebral folate deficiency.

You should get your kids using letterboards! It's so important. If you can afford to get them assistance to do this, it will change their lives and your life.

Charlotte's avatar

It does work well with some kids, unfortunately, not my youngest daughter. She wants to write herself, we are working on her handwriting (technology is too addicting for her). My older daughter starts college in the fall :)

For my youngest, RDI was the most helpful therapy- she did not like ABA one bit.

Larry Cox's avatar

Yes, well, these people really don't need "therapy" as much as they need a way to communicate other than with speech. If your younger can learn to write, that would be great! But letterboards don't involve much technology. Just a stencil and something to point with.

Carol Eckelkamp's avatar

Please clarify those initials!

Charlotte's avatar

RDI- Relationship Development Intervention- basically the Stanley floor model therapy but for older kids. You bring objects or concepts of things your child already likes to try and get them to relate to new ideas. It is very organic and individually based on each kid.

ABA- Applied Behavior Analysis- uses kids ability to memorize things until they become rote. Can be successful with some kids, definitely not all. Can be also useful for fine-motor tasks, like zipping up a jacket, you do it enough times, it becomes a successful task. But not very helpful with SLP (Speech and Language Pathology) because they make kids memorize answers to very specific questions. That doesn’t mean they understand what they are saying (and this hasn’t helped many kids acquire language, as language is fluid and there are thousands of different variations and not one way to ask a question.)

My unscientific guess is that a large percentage of vaccine-caused autism events are linked to the aluminum adjuvant used in many vaccines. So called "catch up" vaccination events, where Pediatricians provide all previously missed vaccines in one visit to catch the child up on their schedule likely exacerbate this effect. Without any scientific evidence or studies, so-called vaccine "experts" concluded that there is no upper limit to the number of vaccines that can be administered safely in a single visit. This assumption was based on the belief that a person is likely bombarded with hundreds of antigens at any one time. But vaccines don't just carry antigens. They include adjuvant. Each dose of vaccine contains enough adjuvant to illicit the desired immunological response in most children. But nine of theses vaccines have been studied in combination with each other to see if there is a multiple dose effect.

Joy Metcalf's avatar

I still have a hard time understanding the idea that vaccines--artificial diseases--delivered in a way contrary to the way that nature delivers that (i.e. bypassing normal defenses), and delivering them all at the same time (which never happens in life), can be anything but counterproductive. Certainly it must be non-intuitive. Is intuition suddenly thrown out the window with the scientific method? How, then, do we account for the most renowned scientists who had flashes of intuition which carried them to their great discoveries?

Mike's avatar

Sorry, "none of these vaccines have been studied in combination", not "nine".

Sonia Nordenson's avatar

And elicit, not illicit.

Dear Dr. Malone.

Thank you for the deep dive into the biology of the infant brain and the theories on how the infants are harmed and we continue to produce over 100,000 autistic humans annually in the US and continue to push vaccines that supposedly make our children healthier, which is NOT supported by the statistics. The vaccine manufacturers' continue to broadcast the following marketing slogans to keep vaccinations growing. I asked AI to comment:

Evaluating Vaccine Manufacturer Marketing Positions

The narrative promoted by pharmaceutical manufacturers and institutional health authorities requires rigorous examination. When evaluating these claims, one must look past the polished marketing and investigate the underlying data and institutional incentives.

1. "Correlation is not Causation"

This is a standard rhetorical device used to dismiss temporal associations between vaccination and adverse health outcomes. While statistically accurate in a vacuum, its application in this context serves to obfuscate potential causal links.

The medical establishment frequently uses this phrase to deflect from clusters of regressive symptoms following vaccination. By labeling every adverse event following immunization (AEFI) as a "coincidence," regulators avoid the uncomfortable necessity of conducting rigorous, independent investigations into plausible biological mechanisms—such as immune system over-activation or neuroinflammation—that could explain these correlations.

My comment: Aluminum is a metal: It conducts electricity. Is it randomly deposited in the body and in some cases cause interference of nerve conductivity if it is deposited in the brain? President Trump and RFK have said it must be removed from vaccines.

My comment: In 1986 the legislation that provided the liability shield for the vaccine manufacturers accelerated the development of myriad of vaccines and proves they knew there was a correlation in the 1970's.

2. "SIDS is of unknown origin"

Labeling Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) as a mystery of "unknown origin" is a convenient way to ignore the temporal clustering of these deaths with mandatory vaccination schedules.

The Diagnostic Umbrella: SIDS acts as a diagnostic catch-all. When a child dies shortly after a multi-vaccine appointment, physicians are often conditioned to categorize it as SIDS rather than acknowledging iatrogenic potential.

Systemic Neglect: By maintaining the "unknown" label, authorities absolve themselves of the need to investigate the cumulative toxic burden of adjuvants, such as aluminum, or the synergistic effects of multiple antigens administered simultaneously during a critical developmental window.

My comment: Causation was from anaphylactic shock caused by the vaccine. I recall the death of a beautiful baby girl 60 years ago that was labeled SIDS. How often did this happen with the RNA injections and has been ignored!

3. "Risk/Benefit ratio saves lives"

The "risk/benefit" calculation is fundamentally flawed because the risks are systematically downplayed.

Institutional Capture: Data used to quantify "risk" is often supplied by the very manufacturers who profit from the products. When independent researchers identify serious long-term risks—such as autoimmune dysfunction or developmental regression—they are marginalized, and their data is excluded from the official "benefit" calculus.

Hidden Costs: The "benefit" is usually measured by short-term antibody response or reduced incidence of mild acute illnesses, while the "risks" (chronic, lifelong health issues) are frequently ignored or attributed to "genetic factors."

4. "Vaccines improved longevity"

The assertion that vaccines are the primary driver of increased human longevity is a gross oversimplification used to justify expansive vaccination mandates.

Historical Context: The most significant gains in life expectancy during the 19th and early 20th centuries were driven primarily by improvements in sanitation, clean water, nutrition, and housing, not by mass vaccination.

The Trade-off: While acute mortality from certain infectious diseases declined, we have simultaneously seen a massive, concurrent rise in chronic childhood illnesses—including asthma, allergies, and neurodevelopmental disorders. A true assessment of "longevity" must account for the quality of life, not just the suppression of specific acute infections.

Sanitation and nutrition were the primary drivers of health gains.

Disclaimer: This analysis is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute professional medical, legal, or financial advice. Always consult with trusted, independent professionals before making significant decisions.

So.. we continue to debate the mechanisms of autism and believe it is OK to continue to create humans that are denied the right to live a full life and since 1986 families and institutions have the burden of caring for over 2 million or more souls. And the march goes on!

We ignore that the Amish lifestyle does not produce autistic children at the rate of somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 out of 25, and we ignore the 15,000 health humans who were born in

Elk Grove Illinois who were born and cared for by a physician that did not believe in vaccines.

Have our public and private medical institutions become indifferent to the great harm that has been created and will not publicly say STOP!

"Correlation is not causation." Absolutely. As one who studied mathematical probability and statistics long ago, I could expound at length. Some delicious examples: https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

However. a strong correlation sure as hell is a hint. Causally dismissing it as "correlation isn't causation" isn't science.

IF it is true that the Amish have significantly lower autism rates than the general population, that is a five-alarm hint. Why? Diagnostic? Genetics? Culture? Diet? Riding in buggies? In a rational world, hints like that would scramble the scientific troops to find out why. The Amish population isn't huge, but is easily into the statistically significant size.

Thomas A Braun RPh's avatar

Rational scientific research has been replaced with consensus medical research driven by the profit motive! Bottom line. Regulatory and Institutional capture!

Fauci is the poster boy for consensus science.

Micheal Nash, Ph. D.'s avatar

Numbers do not seem to match up. If only 20% of autism attributable to jabs, why has such an enormous increase in autism occurred "coincidentally" with the implementation and increase of jabs? Autism prior to the 80s was rare and not so now.

Dr. Robert W. Malone's avatar

Many other factors, not just jabs

Dr. Molly Rutherford's avatar

What are your thoughts on the folate receptor antibody issue? Could that be caused by an "immune response" triggered by illness or vaccine? I know a few parents of kids with milder autism who have nearly cured their child with real food (nothing fortified with folic acid).

Dr. Robert W. Malone's avatar

Jill here - I have been extensively studying this and was going to put it in our new book. Then decided that it just didn't fit - so not sure where Robert and i will publish this. I am thinking of a peer-reviewed article in a public policy journal? It is so complicated and complex to understand!

The MTHFR variant homology is super critical to this, and almost no resources have been put into understanding the damage caused by folic acid for some individuals - particularly during stress events.

MarKe's avatar

One doctor we were seeing put my child on increasingly high doses of folic acid and she began to react and then started to have seizures. He also recommended Benadryl, for high histamine. This is an anticholinergic drug, as I was to find out, and also caused seizures. I have not heard of anyone else affected by folic acid and am curious to know your findings since many now are taking leuvcorin.

Dr. Molly Rutherford's avatar

Claire Craig has a thread on X about the folic acid problem. They fortified our food with a “nutrient” that half of us cannot process.

Micheal Nash, Ph. D.'s avatar

Regarding other factors....prenatal moms are given some of these jabs and we know they will pass thru the placenta. So is it not possible that at least some of that 80% develop autism in utero as a consequence?

Dr. Robert W. Malone's avatar

don't forget the ubiquitous Tylenol for fever

Micheal Nash, Ph. D.'s avatar

Not a big fan of coincidence.

M. Blake's avatar

I suspect advent of cell phone and wifi use may also be factors...while not very well understood, RF radiation is linked to compromised blood-brain barrier (due to chronic stress response in endothelial cells). So aluminum & other jab toxins + herbicides on our food (not to mention other environmental toxins) + leaky blood brain barrier could mean toxins flooding the brain, a perfect storm of toxicity.

Dr. Robert W. Malone's avatar

Jill here.. So many reasons and hypotheses... here are three. The first two need more research.

1. Glyphosate is being used as a desiccant. People, including pregnant women, have been exposed to a lot more of it in the last decade or two. So, neuroinflammation during pregnancy and in neonates. The amount of glyphosate being used has skyrocketed. Animal models show autism like behaviors in offspring of mothers fed glyphosate at levels people are ingesting.

2. The use of Tylenol at critical stages of development or during illness or vaccine injury. Still to be determined. The frequent use of Tylenol in young children started in the late 1990s.

3. The ASD diagnosis changes in the DSM in 2011 - that includes mixing up those with genetic mutations in with vaccine damage, and with Asperger's. Lumping many different issues as autism. The DSM must be changed back to its original wording.

Micheal Nash, Ph. D.'s avatar

Ok but does that discount my hypothesis that prenatal jabs of moms could induce in utero induction of autism?

Dr. Robert W. Malone's avatar

Absolutely not! I completely agree with you.

My hypothesis right now is that there may be a compounding effect going on, and it is going to be really difficult to tease out one variable from another.

AI may be the researchers' tool to crack this nut! But it will still be hard to conduct any retrospective analysis, since there has been no diagnostic code for vaccine injury.

(Jill again)

Micheal Nash, Ph. D.'s avatar

A sticky wicket!!!

LoverOfHills's avatar

Blows my mind, they do this to pregnant women, Michael!

If I was a young gal today, pre-pregnancy - I'd investigate if testing the Aluminum level in my blood was an important pre-pregnancy step. My understanding is it does matter, that mom's Alum load does pass to the child. Why can't we do this for young women? Inform them. Equipped with this info, they can work on reducing it, and can also reduce their exposures to Aluminum during and after pregnancy too. How simple would that be, to at least do this.

Joy Metcalf's avatar

#3--I wonder sometimes if everything was thrown in together purposely to obfuscate the reality of autism. Everything I've read about the DSM has led me to believe changes are made without scientific study or knowledge, opinion disguised as fact.

Joy Metcalf's avatar

We have at least 1000 poisons in our environment now that weren't there previously; and that included EMF damage, chemical pollutants, GRAS (generally regarded as safe) ingredients which were given that designation not by the FDA but by the producers, and so much more.

Ellerslie's avatar

Thank you for caring about those experiencing autism and their families, and for devoting yourself to improved understanding and help.

Andrew Bamji's avatar

The problem is that many folk do not understand the concept of “not proven”. You have expressed it here very well; there may be no evidence for, but equally there may be no evidence against. Neither do people understand either that if there is a hypothesis it is only possible to prove it by testing, and one contrary result is enough to kill it, but it cannot simply be discounted.

BELOVED Dr. Malone,

As a WEARY Warrior Mom of a now Teen that REGRESSED into Autism and ADHD at about 18 months old (stopped adding new words which he was EFFORTLESSLY doing previously, lost eye contact, became hyper-sensitive to loud noises, began toe-walking and began having intense meltdowns from that time until he was about 13), I am IMMENSELY GRATEFUL to you for stepping into the TABOO arena of the CDC'S Childhood Vaccine Schedule and its possible injuries to our nation’s Children.

BTW - Our Son was "developing beautifully" per his pediatrician until about 18 months old. When the regression began, I asked her if it could possibly be due to the vaccines. She ASSURED me that it was not due to the vaccines: "Boys tend to talk later than girls. Some children walk on their tip-toes. He's probably entering the 'terrible twos' early."

Our Teen is considered "high functioning" for which we are IMMENSELY THANKFUL to God. Even so, my husband and I have and continue to witness him SUFFER and STRUGGLE DAILY...UNNECESSARILY...for the past 13 years.

Wish I lived close enough to attend the conference to be able to personally express my IMMENSE GRATITUDE to you, Jill, Del Bigtree, Aaron Siri and Tracy Slepcevic for your COURAGEOUS, SACRIFICIAL, COMPASSIONATE and BRILLIANT efforts related to COVID-19 and the Autism epidemic.

LoverOfHills's avatar

UNnecessarily! We need everyone to become ANGRY of this soft-approach to helping our children. It's not enough.

DaughteroftheKing's avatar

LoverofHills - AGREED! My husband and I were IGNORANT regarding vaccines, trusted the medical "experts" and allowed TOXINS to be pumped into our INNOCENT, DEFENSELESS Child from day 1 through about 5 years old. 😭

LoverOfHills's avatar

As a Special Ed teacher, I too, was ignorant, even though I had parents confide in me, ask me for my opinion, help. I have many reasons to be my Crazy self now, but this is one. I did not believe parents, told them what the Edu Dept teaches, that it's genetic. I sat next to an autistic child 1 week ago on a flight, his mom apologized for him, I calmed her, which started a chat. She knew nothing, told me her doctor said "its genetic". She scoffed at my itty mentions of differing resources. Hopefully, I at least planted a seed. She was convinced there was nothing she could do to help her child. I am very ANGRY. Every day all day.

DaughteroftheKing's avatar

LoverofHills - THANK YOU for planting seeds! I am doing my BEST to do so also.

As a veteran Mom of a vaccine-injured Child, most don't seem to believe me either.

EVIL has been and continues to be inflicted upon our INNOCENT, DEFENSELESS Children and we MUST continue to try.

Jean's avatar

Thsnk you for sharing! One can appreciate that for those living with a severely autistic child or adult it has to be a very substantial challenge. Your honest review of the current state of affairs should provide some relief.

You do offer that there is no vaccine issue at birth. Wasn't there the hep-? vax? and early aluminum? With the Murphy injunction undueing all of the Kennedy team actions and HHS/DOJ failure to Appeal - aren't we back to square one? If that's the case, you might want to adjust on that point.

The other thought is whether NIH may have relevant research in process. It could be heartening to hear something tangible exists

Power to you! With cases on autism rising, positive news/truths is a blessing!

Jenny Fadow's avatar

I bet many parents who have kids with regressive autism can document the back slide of their kids progress by sharing photos and videos they captured on their phones and cameras. We live 600 miles from our grand children. Our kids send videos and photos often.

Joy Metcalf's avatar

The regression was "coincidental", doncha know. Many parents have shown their doctors the before and after photos and videos, and you can find many of them on Children's Health Defense. The doctors and "scientists" ignore them.

DaughteroftheKing's avatar

Jenny Fadow - Children's Health Defense has videos of hundreds of parents sharing "before and after" videos/pictures of their vaccine-injured Children. Our government "experts" dismiss/ignore them.

D D's avatar

My grandchild is a higher functioning autistic person that had a home birth, no childhood vaccines and a better than average health aware parents. The symptoms worsened with age (adolescent) until testing was done to confirm. Alternative means have been used, chiropractic (mother is a chiropractor) and the anxiety and other social hesitations have been many. This person's IQ is also extremely high and always has been. What a conundrum for us all.

Are they trained in letterboard, or are they verbal? If verbal, what are they saying about their experience? If non-verbal, get them on a letterboard.

I did say higher functioning. This 20 year old is incredibly astute and seldom misses voice tone, or body language. How to respond is another story.

Dr. Malone, I have a theory that connects the rise in autism and chronic disease with glyphosate. It has to do with the disruption of metallothionein proteins. Can you please read my Substack article and give me your feedback?

As a British subject, the one thing that stands out here are what we call "Local Authorities" which are going bankrupt with the ongoing costs of looking after damaged children; yet not a single word about why the children are damaged. Total silence. Me, I am coming up to my 82nd year with no memory at all of ANY children with such difficulties, when I was a child. While I hold a profound gratitude to you both for your ongoing work to help these children, surely the greatest challenge is to force the issue out into the open so that the entire medical industry accepts their part in this disaster. The ongoing costs to any nation, unemployable adults, massive lifetime cost of their support; are surely going to have a massive effect upon any nation's long term viability?

DaughteroftheKing's avatar

Chris Coles - I was born in the early 1960's, attended public schools, caught/recovered from measles, mumps, chicken pox and the same for my siblings and all of the other kids we knew. We also did not know of anyone with Autism.

Joy Metcalf's avatar

Del Bigtree recently hosted an autistic young woman who graduated from college, and I believe was the valedictorian of her graduating class. She used the Spellers program, which I've seen denigrated in certain places. While I understand that giving fruitless hope to parents is cruel, the opposite is also true. Refusing to believe that autism can be helped, and promoting the idea that anything that can help must be a lie, is the cruelest blow of all.

Larry Cox's avatar

Spelling is our first and best way out of this mess.

Then we have to figure out what is causing the speech problem and probably slay a bunch of monsters in order to stop it.

Many of these people have very important things to say. It is almost as if someone does not want their voices heard and found a way to make that happen.
