50 Years of Research EXPOSES the TRUTH: Vaccines Do NOT Cause Autism—Millions Fooled by Dangerous Myth That Risked Public Health and Fuelled a Global Medical Misinformation Epidemic!

What Causes Autism? Separating Fact from Fiction

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects millions of children and adults worldwide. Symptoms vary widely, from social and communication challenges to repetitive behaviors and sensory sensitivities. Despite years of scientific inquiry, the exact causes of autism remain elusive. What we do know is that autism is not caused by vaccines—a myth that has been thoroughly debunked by numerous large-scale studies and global health authorities.

In this article, we will explore what current science suggests about the causes of autism, the controversy around vaccines and aluminum, and emerging hypotheses related to inflammation and environmental triggers.

Vaccines and Autism: Debunking the Myth

The myth linking vaccines to autism began with a 1998 paper by Dr. Andrew Wakefield, which falsely connected the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine to autism. That study was later found to be fraudulent and was retracted by The Lancet. Wakefield lost his medical license. Since then, dozens of well-conducted studies involving millions of children have consistently shown no causal relationship between vaccines and autism.

Despite this, vaccine skepticism persists, fueled by concerns about vaccine ingredients such as aluminum-based adjuvants, which are added to enhance immune response. Critics argue that increasing aluminum exposure through vaccines could potentially trigger neurological problems in genetically susceptible children. However, mainstream science and regulatory agencies like the CDC, WHO, and FDA continue to affirm vaccine safety within recommended schedules.

The Role of Inflammation in Autism

One area of legitimate scientific inquiry relates to chronic brain inflammation found in individuals with autism. Neurologist Dr. Carlos Coimbra and others have identified heightened levels of inflammatory markers in autistic brains—not related to infections, but rather to immune system dysregulation.

Some studies show that up to 70% of children with autism display signs of autoimmune activity, suggesting that their immune systems may be attacking the body’s own tissues, including brain cells. This autoimmune reaction may interfere with the normal development and functioning of the brain during early childhood.

Understanding Aluminum in Vaccines

Aluminum salts are the most commonly used adjuvants in vaccines. They are considered safe in small quantities and have been used for decades. However, aluminum is also a known neurotoxin in excessive doses. High levels of aluminum have been associated with impaired memory, attention, speech, and motor function.

Recent research by scientists like Dr. Christopher Exley found high concentrations of aluminum in the brain tissue of deceased individuals who had autism. Critics argue that these findings warrant further investigation—especially since the aluminum dosage in childhood vaccines has increased significantly over the past four decades.

For example, in 1980, a child in the U.S. received around 12 vaccine doses by age 6, containing approximately 1,000 micrograms of aluminum. In 2023, that number has risen to 49 doses with 5,000 micrograms of aluminum, raising concern among some researchers and parents.

However, it’s important to note that the body’s ability to excrete aluminum and individual genetic vulnerabilities play a significant role in whether this exposure is harmful.

The Genetics of Autism

Genetic predisposition is one of the strongest known factors in autism. Studies show that siblings of autistic children are more likely to be diagnosed with the condition, and twin studies support a strong hereditary component.

Specific genes related to neural connectivity, brain development, and immune system regulation have been linked to increased autism risk. It’s possible that children with certain genetic profiles may be more vulnerable to environmental triggers—including immune activation, inflammation, or toxic exposures like heavy metals.

This “perfect storm” hypothesis suggests that autism may result from a combination of genetics and environmental stressors, rather than any single factor.

Dr. Coimbra’s Protocol: An Alternative Hypothesis

Dr. Coimbra, a Brazilian neurologist, has proposed an alternative protocol for managing autism that focuses on immune modulation and detoxification. Though not officially endorsed by regulatory bodies, his approach is being explored by some practitioners and parents seeking complementary therapies.

His protocol includes:

Vitamin D3 (10,000 IU or more daily)

Helps regulate the immune system and reduce brain inflammation.

High doses are tailored to the individual’s needs under supervision.

Propolis

A resin-like compound produced by bees with strong anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties.

It may help regulate immune dysfunction seen in autistic children.

Silica Supplement (Monomethylsilanetriol)

Silica binds to aluminum and helps excrete it from the body through the kidneys.

Typically administered in doses of 100–200 mg, three times daily.

Magnesium Glycinate (for hyperactive children)

A calming mineral that supports the nervous system.

Often used to reduce irritability and improve sleep.

Low-Carbohydrate Diet

Aims to increase brain ketones and reduce neuroinflammation.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that some children show improved cognition and behavior with a ketogenic or low-carb approach.

While many of these interventions have biological plausibility, clinical trials are limited, and outcomes vary. Parents considering such protocols should always consult with qualified healthcare providers.

Population Studies and Observations

Observational studies comparing autism prevalence across different populations have sparked debate. For instance, the Amish community, which is often cited for its limited vaccination practices, reportedly has lower autism rates. However, these claims are anecdotal and confounded by differences in diagnostic practices, genetics, and environmental factors.

Similarly, countries with less aggressive vaccination schedules do not report significantly higher autism rates—though correlation does not imply causation. Differences in healthcare access, reporting standards, and public health policies also play roles.

Looking Forward: Science, Safety, and Open Inquiry

Science is not static. While the mainstream consensus holds that vaccines do not cause autism, continuing to explore how genetics, environment, and immune response interact is essential. More research is needed to:

Understand how neuroinflammation and autoimmunity contribute to autism.

Explore safe and effective ways to reduce neurotoxic burdens.

Personalize medical care based on genetic and immunological profiles.

At the same time, it’s critical to protect public health by maintaining high vaccination rates, which prevent deadly diseases like measles, polio, and diphtheria. We must strike a balance between safeguarding community health and acknowledging and addressing parental concerns with transparency and compassion.

Conclusion

Autism is not caused by vaccines, according to the best available science. However, research into immune dysfunction, aluminum exposure, and genetics continues to evolve. While controversial viewpoints like Dr. Coimbra’s may not reflect the medical consensus, they reflect a genuine desire to understand autism more deeply and to explore new avenues of care.

As we move forward, we must keep an open mind—rooted in rigorous science, guided by compassion, and always focused on improving the lives of autistic individuals and their families.
