JAMES LYONS-WEILER: autism...it often involves an autoimmune reaction...but it's simply the body's intolerance of toxins and the brain becomes overwhelmed

"Adults who were exposed to too much mercury because they ate fish from the Bay of Minamata... They started hand-flapping, they stopped talking...we call that mercury poisoning over [there], but if you poison a kid with mercury to their toxic level of tolerance, it's autism."

Scientist, CEO, author, and human rights advocate James Lyons-Weiler (

@feds4freedomusa
) podcast about how autism is caused by "a long list" of environmental toxins, which he refers to as "autismogens." "Like there are many carcinogens, there are many autismogens," Lyons-Weiler says. "These autismogens include any number of organic pollutants [including] mercury of both types." The scientist highlights the Minamata disaster in Japan, which saw citizens in the 1950s, in the city of Minamata, Kumamoto Prefecture, fall prey to mercury poisoning following the release of methylmercury into the ocean from industrial wastewater from a chemical factory. The methylmercury bioaccumulated in shellfish and when citizens subsequently ate them, they were poisoned. "Adults that were exposed to too much mercury because they ate fish from the Bay of Minamata after the Minamata disaster...[they] stopped making eye contact. They started hand-flapping, and they stopped talking, it's a one-to-one correspondence. We just call that mercury poisoning over here. But if you poison a kid with mercury to their toxic level of tolerance, it's autism, if it's mercury-based." Partial transcription of clip: "All of the literature up to 2015 showed environmental toxins that are associated with autism. It's a long list. "Like there are many carcinogens, there are many autismogens. These autismogens include any number of organic pollutants. They include mercury of both types. And proof of this is the Minamata disaster in Japan. Adults that were exposed to too much mercury because they ate fish from the Bay of Minamata after the Minamata disaster, [and] well, let's go through the symptoms of autism: you stop making eye contact; you can't speak; you lose the ability to speak; you don't interact with people socially; you act like they're not there in the room If it's severe, you might hand flap and do repetitive motions. "Anybody can identify a kid with autism that way or an adult. The adults that were exposed to high levels of mercury stopped making eye contact. They started hand flapping, and they stopped talking, it's a one-to-one correspondence. We just call that mercury poisoning over here. But if you poison a kid with mercury to their toxic level of tolerance, it's autism, if it's mercury-based.

The reference to Dr. Russel Blaylock's Chronic Microglial Activation.
So autism...it often involves an autoimmune reaction...but it's simply the body's intolerance of toxins and the brain becomes overwhelmed, can't do the things that the brain needs to do. "What happens in the brain if a brain cell dies due to the toxins that are present of any kind, it actually activates, it sends out cytokines that activate microglial cells, which are the scavengers and the immune cells of our brain. And those microglial cells will pick up the cellular debris and clean it up. They also do pruning of the brain during neurodevelopment and they have two roles. They're the trash collectors of the brain and they prune the brain for neurodevelopment. Well, if you fill the brain with toxins to the point where these microglia are so busy taking out the trash all day long, they can't build the brain properly. So we have altered neurodevelopment due to toxins. "So please, let's stop with, okay, for the greater good, you're taking on risks for to protect other kids, and what about these kids? What about these kids' rights to live in a world free from the ravages of pharmaceutical toxins to save some other kid from a mild childhood illness. That's where the balance of ethics should be and we need to revisit that as a society.
