INSIGHT

Autism As Predisposition Plus Triggers

Autism arises from inherited predispositions (miasms) that are activated by external triggers.
Single exposures like Tylenol can act as triggers but do not alone cause autism.

ANECDOTE

Homeopathy For Fertility-Treatment Children

Vanessa described treating her brother's fertility-treatment children without vaccines or antibiotics and using homeopathy for acutes.
She credits homeopathy with preventing many conventional interventions in those kids.

INSIGHT

Tylenol Can Deplete Key Antioxidants

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) depletes glutathione and impairs detox pathways important for liver and brain protection.
This depletion can be particularly harmful when genetic variants (e.g., MTHFR) reduce antioxidant capacity.

In this episode, we explore a hot-button question: Does Tylenol cause autism? The short answer: not directly. But there’s more to the story.

We’ll unpack how Tylenol and other symptom-suppressing drugs interfere with the body’s natural healing process, especially in childhood fevers. While Tylenol may act as a trigger in some cases, autism is never caused by one thing alone — it arises when there is a strong inherited predisposition (miasm) that becomes activated by external stressors.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

Why suppression (like cutting off fever) can disrupt a child’s natural immune and neurological development.
The deeper root causes of autism: inherited miasms, family history, epigenetics, and environmental stressors.
The multiple possible triggers that can “turn on” these predispositions, including:
- Overuse of fever-reducing medications
- Heavy metals and toxins
- Antibiotics and gut microbiome disruption
- Jabs and other immune challenges
- Emotional trauma during early development
Safer, natural ways to support a child through fever instead of suppressing it.
Why honoring the body’s own healing wisdom is key to long-term health.

This conversation is for parents who want to understand the bigger picture of autism, chronic illness, and childhood development — and who are seeking empowered, natural approaches for supporting their kids.
