Abstract: Here, I present a mechanistic biomedical process model (theory) of the pathophysiology of autism that reconciles the apparent paradox between the high degree of causal heterogeneity in environmental toxins, the absence of common “autism genes” and the high degree of genetic concordance (heritability) of ASD and ASD-like traits. In brief, the environmental toxin sampling…

IEEE Access reports and then later retracts “Electromagnetic Radiation Due to Cellular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Technologies: How Safe Are We?”
The electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted out of wireless communication modules in various IoT devices (especially used for healthcare applications due to their close proximity to the body) have been identified by researchers as biologically hazardous to humans as well as other living beings. Different countries have different regulations to limit the radiation density levels caused…
IOC Press reports “Aluminum and Amyloid-β in Familial Alzheimer’s Disease”
Genetic predispositions associated with metabolism of the amyloid-β protein precursor underlie familial Alzheimer’s disease; a form of dementia characterized by early disease onset and elevated levels of cortical amyloid-β. Human exposure to aluminum is linked to the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease and recent research measured a high content of aluminum in brain tissue in familial…
Shiraz University of Medical Sciences reports “significant relationship between mercury concentration and autism”
There is a likelihood of a possible relationship between the concentrations of copper, lead, and mercury and autism. The present review was carried out to determine the relationship between the concentrations of these elements and autism by meta-analysis. Conclusion: There is, nevertheless, a significant relationship between mercury concentration and autism. Thus, the concentration of mercury can…
Dr. James Lyons-Weiler reports “If You Intend to Reproduce Do Not Fly – The Chemicals Used to Disinfect Airplanes Decrease Fertility and Are Epigenetically Teratogenic”
Adding to the massive self-injuries society is inflicting upon itself in response to COVID19, as airlines police the public to mask, there is strong evidence that they are also poisoning their employees and passengers and harming their reproductive health. Two studies in mice indicate that both female and male airline employees who work in cabins…
The Intercept reports “Scientists pin blame for some coronavirus on air pollution, PFAS, and other chemicals”
The link between Covid-19 and air pollution is particularly strong. A study set to publish in July linked six air pollutants in 120 Chinese cities with cases of the viral disease. Researchers in Italy have also shown that long-term exposure to air pollution is “significantly correlated with cases of Covid-19” in up to 71 provinces in that country. And…
