Acetaminophen and autism . . .

"Here are peer-reviewed papers, systematic reviews and mechanistic articles that have reported associations or argued biological plausibility for acetaminophen (paracetamol) exposure as a possible contributor to neurodevelopmental outcomes including autism." -- John H Abeles

Key studies & reviews that report an association or biological plausibility

Liew Z., et al., 2014 — “Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Neurobehavioral Outcomes” (JAMA Pediatrics) — One of the large prospective cohort studies that reported associations between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and later ADHD-like behaviors; raised concern about potential neurodevelopmental effects.

Liew Z., et al., 2016 — “Maternal use of acetaminophen during pregnancy and risk of autism spectrum disorder in offspring” (Epidemiology / PubMed entry) — A population study that examined prenatal acetaminophen exposure and ASD risk and discussed confounding and methodological issues.

Bauer A., Kriebel D., 2016 (and related reviews) — “Prenatal and perinatal analgesic exposure and autism” (PubMed abstract / review) — Early review paper discussing the ecological correlation between rising paracetamol use and ASD, plus biologic plausibility and epidemiologic findings.

Robinson R. et al., 2016 / 2017 — “Acetaminophen Use in Early Life and Autism” (systematic and mechanistic reviews) — Reviews that summarize observational studies linking early-life acetaminophen (not only prenatal exposure) to increased ASD risk and discuss mechanisms (oxidative stress, immune effects). Example review available on PMC.

Mega-cohort / consortium analyses (2021) — “Prenatal and postnatal exposure to acetaminophen in relation to neurodevelopmental outcomes” (European cohorts) — Large pooled analysis of multiple cohorts (≈73,000 pairs) investigating prenatal and early postnatal acetaminophen exposure and ASC/ADHD outcomes; results were mixed and interpreted as inconclusive but included signals worthy of further study.

Systematic review (2022) — “A Systematic Review of the Link Between Autism Spectrum Disorder and Acetaminophen” (PMC review) — Comprehensive systematic review summarizing observational studies, heterogeneity across results, and limitations (confounding, exposure measurement).

Prada D. et al., 2025 — “Evaluation of the evidence on acetaminophen use and neurodevelopmental outcomes” (open-access review) — A recent evidence evaluation that concluded many studies report associations between prenatal acetaminophen and NDDs (ASD/ADHD) but stressed heterogeneity and residual confounding.

Mechanistic papers (oxidative stress / mitochondrial hypotheses) — Articles that discuss plausible biological mechanisms (oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, immune/inflammatory pathways) by which ac

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Maternity Leggings

Pregnancy makes changes in your body, such as weight gain and hormonal imbalance. To cope with these changes, you have to invest in certain essentials, and one of them is maternity leggings. But some mothers find it challenging to buy the right one. Finding leggings that flatter and support your growing belly can make a huge difference in comfort. Normal leggings cannot offer benefits like breathability, soft materials, and gentle compression. Before buying, you have to understand the factors like the right size, material, and style. Learn practical tips on what to consider in maternity leggings. Read our article to discover expert advice and tips for selecting the best maternity leggings.

Why Do Vaccines Cause the Illnesses They Prevent - Revealing The Forgotten Science of Vaccine Disease Provocation

• Many people notice they appear to become ill with the disease they are being vaccinated against (e.g., the flu or COVID) after receiving a vaccine.
​
• While this association is frequently ridiculed by medical profession, over a century of evidence exists that demonstrates it occurred for a variety of diseases (e.g., there is extensive literature on it for typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and polio), to the point it was previously termed “disease provocation.”
​
• Unfortunately, since the knowledge of disease provocation would decrease vaccine sales, it tends to “vanish” from the medical profession’s memory, leading to almost identical debacles happening a few decades later that doctors at the time were “baffled by” (e.g., we discuss how this happened with polio).
​
• Disease provocation appears to be due to the immune system being diverted to targeting the vaccine’s antigen rather than doing it’s natural job. Since we frequently depend upon the immune system to control latent infections or recent ones currently in the incubation stage, that immunological diversion can lead to an existing infection spiraling out of control.
​
• In this article we review many examples of how this happened with infections in the past and highlight how this same process can cause vaccination to increase one’s risk of a severe flu infection, a severe COVID infection, a Lyme disease reactivation or a HPV infection progressing to cervical cancer.​

What happens if you can no longer push more vaccines onto humans and babies?

Why, sell them to Koala Bears. After all, it's all about MONEY, not health and well-being . . .

Association of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination status with risk of influenza-like illness and loss of workdays in healthcare workers

​Based on our data, we conclude that SARS-CoV-2 booster vaccination does not contribute to the protection of the healthcare workforce in a post-pandemic setting. SARS-CoV-2 vaccination may even temporarily increase the likelihood of symptomatic infection and workday loss.​

After killing of young Ukrainian woman by a Black male in US, AfD MEP states that Black people account for 56% of murders and ‘White lives matter’!

A German politician, MEP Tomasz Froelich, is saying what many wish U.S. Republicans had the courage to say about Black-on-White crime, but all of them, including Trump, refuse to even publicly recognize White people actually exist!
