My friend said:
That notion about getting autism from vaccination has been proven false after thorough investigation!!!!
And I responded:
Proven false after investigation by the industries that profit from it. The models under test were heavily contaminated with bias. If you watch the entire hour and a half interview of Dale Bigtree (link below) you will see the allegation there were no placebo controlled trials, and understand the importance of that in studies on health.
Do you think the autism epidemic is a mystery? It's only a mystery in that we do not have studies that track down the exact mechanism...because the industry that profits is powerful enough to block those unbiased studies from taking place. IMHO we know what the general mechanism is, it is the ingress of toxins into the body that overwhelm the body's detoxification capacity.
Let me unpack that a little bit. First this is the mechanism that causes all the epidemic increases in so called post industrial diseases from alzheimer's to diabetes. These diseases collectively kill about 90% of the developed world population prematurely. Heart disease alone kills more people than any other post industrial disease, and there are dozens of epidemic post industrial diseases, I'm not going to list them all here. The mechanism of all these diseases is overload of the body's innate capacity to remove toxins, which is the basis of the body's self-healing capacity.
Here is the critical point - modern pharmaceutical medicine gets this completely wrong. It adds more toxins to the mix. These toxins can serve to mask symptoms at best, but they also degrade health overall. Pharmacology is, and continues to be, blind to this problem because of profit bias and what I'm going to call (shorthand) "magic thinking" bias, both of which operate completely on the unconscious level. To understand the depth of this problem it's important to realize the "unconscious" part of this equation is the root of the problem. The entire point of science is to do an "end around" unconscious bias with the placebo controlled method! But the design of models under test are contaminated with unconscious bias at the outset, eliminating or degrading effective placebo controls, and skewing results in favor of pre-existing bias.
Sorry to "yell", but this is the critical point - NO PLACEBO CONTROLLED STUDIES OF CAUSAL MECHANISMS FOR AUTISM have been performed. This problem "infects" pharmacological "science" (using the word loosely) in general, but is particularly acute in the case of autism. Where there is profit there is unconscious bias, period. All of us mere humans are subject to this bias.
The "disease reversal diet", and I'm not talking vegan here, I'm talking whole foods in general, works because of two things in particular: first it removes toxic post industrial foods from the diet and replaces them with foods we are evolutionarily adapted to - which are exclusively whole foods. There were no toxic brew food lab concoctions and concentrations 100,000 years ago. Paleos and a certain subset of vegans understand the criticality of this idea. In addition to food lab chemical garbage consider all the toxins we regularly consume that are considered "OK", or even better than ok. Coffee. Alcohol. Refined carbohydrates (pure sugars). Refined fats (pure oils). Disease reversal diets work to the extent ALL toxins are removed from the diet. It does not have to be perfect, it only has to be "good enough" to get back to the point the body's innate capacity for 24/7/365/birth-to-death detoxification is no longer overwhelmed.
Physical activity accelerates detoxification, it is not enough on it's own. Fasting, done properly, accelerates detoxification, and is enough on it's own to "reset the body", but if not followed with a "good enough" whole foods diet will fail in the long run.
A complete lifestyle change is required, and that is difficult for three reasons. 1) No "authority" is telling us we should do this. It's amazing but true, most humans have a need to believe their government "has their back". But governments are rarely a good source of health information. 2) "The food doesn't taste good." There is a brilliant little book "The Pleasure Trap" that explains this very "sticky" problem in detail, IMHO one is not fully "armed" without this information. Very basically we become addicted to toxins because we do not understand the unconscious instinctual complex sufficiently to deal with the biological forces working to attract us to overstimulation. The food doesn't taste good because we are addicted to overstimulation. 3) We are herd animals, we only feel safe in numbers. There are valid reasons for that but they quickly become counterproductive, and we have difficulty with discrimination on that point. We only want to eat what everyone else is eating and everyone else is not eating real food.
Get yourself an extremely healthy subculture, it's the only hope.
Post industrial technology is giving us choices that did not exist 100,000 years ago. Our instincts, like the rest of our biology, evolved in that era. In an era where resources were scarce, nature "controlled" what we put in our bodies. Paradoxically however, technology also gives us the opportunity for the longest "healthy life spans" in human history, but we are not taking advantage of it. Generally we do not even appreciate that this is possible, it's not "a thing". These technological advantages boil down basically to protect us from "exposure to the elements". Combine that advantage with the advantage of the very best diet and lifestyle choices and we might see a boom in centenarian populations. Instead everyone is dying prematurely from post industrial conditions.
(I'm going to add one thing here I did not think to say in my original rebuttal to my friend. I don't want to give the impression that I naively think all cases of autism are reversible with dietary changes. There are definitely cases where toxicity is at such a concentration it becomes irreversible. This rises to the level where "poisoning" is the more appropriate descriptor, and of course goes beyond autism.)
