Trump’s Five Year Moratorium on Childhood Vaccines and Destruction of Pharma Control of Media Petition

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Yes, that’s the name of the new White House petition. Do you like it? I LOVE it.

Why?  I love it because it’s provocative.  I love it because it gets people’s attention.  I love it because it will probably drive the trolls, people like Orc, Dumb Dorritt, and Dr. Proffit absolutely bananas.  I’m hoping this gets the attention of people like Emily Willingham of Forbes magazine and she writes one of her odious articles attacking it.

Because then this idea starts winning.  It will have become CONTAGIOUS, spreading like a MIND VIRUS through the consciousness of the public.

I love it because it changes people’s perception of what is possible, and if I can get the trolls angry enough, they will do the job of spreading this wonderful idea.  Yes, my enemies are part of this plan because they are stupid and hateful enough not to realize that they will help this succeed.

Here’s that link.

Another reason I love it is that, well, many people just don’t pay attention when they read something.  

Usually, that’s just a minor annoyance.  For example, recently, when I was going to be a guest speaker at an event I read in the promotional materials that I was a “Nobel Prize winning author.”  I had to scratch my head at that one.  Yes, someday I’d LIKE to be a Nobel Prize winning author, but I  never claimed that I WAS NOW one.

I looked back at the materials I had sent this person and found there was a section which noted that my publisher ALSO published the work of a Nobel Prize winning author from China.  Even in this effort, people make enormous leaps of logic, which are not in fact, true.

I read one person’s comments on Facebook about this effort that “Robert Kennedy’s legal team has come up with a new way to go after Pharma!”  I am NOT a member of Robert Kennedy’s legal team.  Kennedy has NOTHING to do with this effort.  If he decides to join it, fine, but right now we have no connection.

So if people are going to draw the wrong conclusion, I want them to do it in a way that BENEFITS my effort.  

I won’t be surprised if in a week or two somebody writes that “Trump wants a five year moratorium on childhood vaccines!”  Will I correct the record at that point?  Maybe.  Maybe not.

Here are the facts about what happened.  My brilliant idea about a Five Year Childhood Vaccine Moratorium got some very smart lawyers thinking about how to push this idea even further.

They came up with a Citizen’s Petition to the CDC and FDA which asked them to support the Moratorium based on the LACK OF TRUE INFORMED CONSENT, as well as the fact that the government DID NOT FOLLOW ITS OWN RULES in approving vaccines for children.  This opens a 90 day comment window for the general public to weigh in.

Also, the CDC/FDA petition gives us legal standing after 90 days to challenge any decisions they make.  THIS IS AN ENORMOUS ADVANTAGE WHICH CANNOT BE UNDERSTATED.

Trump Gets Authority to MOVE Against Vaccines and Pharma Control of Media. Will He Do It?

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

I love it when a plan comes together…

Or perhaps more accurately, I love it when my BRILLIANT idea inspires other people to share their BRILLIANT ideas, and we end up with a plan that is absolutely SPECTACULAR.

Something NEW Has Happened…

On July 27, 2017, an EMERGENCY CITIZENS’ PETITION FOR FIVE YEAR CHILDHOOD VACCINE MORATORIUM REGULATION was filed before the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)  and Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

This is an adjunct to the White House Petition on the same matter.  We will show you this NEW petition in my next article.

Here’s that link to the White House Petition if you aren’t one of the more than 5,000 who have already signed.

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/five-year-moratorium-childhood-vaccines

What does this Petition to the FDA and CDC (Besides the one to the White House) mean really?

Trump’s Proposed Five Year MORATORIUM on Childhood Vaccinations

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

I like to study presidents and their path to power.

Most people don’t recall that before Bill Clinton became President, the democrats had lost five of the previous six elections.  Clinton founded the Southern Democratic Leadership Council to chart a new, more moderate course for democrats.

Barack Obama began his campaign for the presidency at the Illinois State House where Abraham Lincoln had served as a representative, an audacious call for America to fulfill its historic call for racial equality.

Trump is equally bold, the first true citizen to run for the highest office in the land, beholden to NO special interests.

It’s important to know how successful people think, because that’s how you figure out how to win your particular struggle.  I want to compare my FIVE YEAR MORATORIUM ON CHILDHOOD VACCINES with what Trump writes about in his book The Art of the Deal, most particularly, the chapter entitled, Trump Cards: The Elements of the Deal.

The first element is THINK BIG.

The FIVE YEAR MORATORIUM ON CHILDHOOD VACCINES is a BIG IDEA.  I believe that we in the autism community have been playing defense for far too long.

Pharma proposes MANDATES and we respond with NO MANDATES!  I’m sorry, but in my mind, we’re playing small ball.  You don’t win on defense.  You win on offense.  They are trying to DESTROY US.  Why aren’t we trying to DESTROY THEM?  When Hitler bombed London, Churchill knew the war wouldn’t end when the Nazis stopped bombing London.  It would only end when Hitler was dead and Berlin a pile of smoking rubble.

Another element is MAXIMIZE YOUR OPTIONS.

I love that idea.  The other day somebody told me that the Cytochrome P450 detoxification gene was responsible for the negative vaccine reactions.  Bottom line – the gene doesn’t work before the age of three years old, and in about ten percent of the people it never works at all.  I think that’s reasonable and told her.

The only problem is I’ve never seen pharma respond positively to a single reasonable suggestion.  

If we get to the point where everybody is getting tested for the Cytochrome P450 detoxification gene and those who are clear are okay with getting themselves injected with mercury, formaldehyde, glyphosate, animal and aborted human fetal cells, well, fine.

If pharma is confronted with their TOTAL DESTRUCTION and sees fit to NEGOTIATE THEIR SURVIVAL, maybe there’s a deal to be made.  I still think it’s a bad deal, like leaving the Nazis in control of twenty percent of their country. But I’m okay with other people coming to their own conclusions.  That’s the great thing about being a libertarian.  I’m happy to think on my own and for you to do the same.

USE YOUR LEVERAGE is another element.

Five Year Moratorium on Childhood Vaccines – Our Modern Day Dunkirk

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Last weekend I went to see the new movie, Dunkirk, about the British evacuation of their army from France during the early days of World War II.

The situation was desperate.  Invasion by the Nazis was imminent if they failed. And yet a miracle took place.  The fathers and grandfathers of England took to their small boats and rescued their sons and grandsons from those beaches.  It was about the survival of a people and this example of courage will live throughout recorded human history.

My efforts for a FIVE YEAR MORATORIUM ON CHILDHOOD VACCINES is an attempt at a modern day Dunkirk.

Should We “Unmask” the High-Profile Parents of Vaccine-Injured Children Who Remain Silent?

(Hey, it’s just the Future of the Human Race at Stake!)

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

In any campaign for change you must occasionally ask yourself if what you’re doing is achieving the intended result.

If it is, great! All speed ahead! If not, isn’t it time to reconsider your strategy?

It’s with that idea in mind I review what has happened over the past thirty years regarding vaccines and the health of America’s children. In 1986 Congress passed and President Reagan signed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. This law RADICALLY changed the consumer protection rights of Americans regarding vaccines.

The pharmaceutical companies, which were having financial difficulties because of the flood of vaccine injury cases

found the situation completely changed. In return for harming lots of kids, they weren’t punished. They were given protection!

In 1997, when Dr. Andrew Wakefield raised the question of whether the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine was causing digestive problems and autism in some children, the pharmaceutical companies had a boatload of money to fight this claim. The parents were financially devastated by the needs of their children and couldn’t find a decent lawyer to even bring a case.

Quite simply, the pharmaceutical companies took away all the rights that consumers enjoy for all other products.

A powerful system will cause most people to fold. It’s the rare individual who will not bow before an all-powerful authority. Dr. Andrew Wakefield was one of those individuals. Jenny McCarthy was one, along with her boyfriend at the time, Jim Carrey. So was Dr. Judy Mikovits. There were also a few brave parents who founded organizations, but for the most part we were alone.

Some people attacked Jenny McCarthy for coming out so strongly against vaccines. They claim she should have waited for somebody with more gravitas to lead the charge. But where were the other movie stars? We know that Hollywood actors have children. And some of them develop autism. And some of those actors quietly whisper to each other, and to some of us, that they suspect vaccines were the cause.

But no Justice League of Jenny McCarthy and others formed to combat this evil which had harmed their very own children. When they all get to heaven, Jenny will be the only A-list actor in God’s eyes. The others will be on the D-list.

In addition to changing the legal system, the pharmaceutical companies took over the news networks by buying up 60-70% of the advertising dollars.

The old rules remain in effect. Those who have the gold, make the rules.

The pharmaceutical industry employs more than 1500 lobbyists in Washington, D.C., or about three lobbyists for every single member of Congress. The pharmaceutical industry spends twice as much money lobbying Congress as its nearest competitor, the oil and gas industry. But the pharmaceutical industry has no liability for the vaccines it gives to our children. In short, they control the courts, the media, and the politicians.

And because they do,

they’ve been able to make those who raise issues about vaccines look like crazy people. So in addition to having no legal rights, no access to the press, and no influence with politicians, your friends and family think you’re crazy.

Any strategy which is to have a hope of success must acknowledge the overwhelming odds against us. This will be by necessity, a guerrilla campaign.

But just because the odds are against us, doesn’t mean we don’t have a chance.

In his excellent book, David and Goliath, the author Malcom Gladwell looks at what is needed to win a fight against a giant.

In a war, one would think that the size of the opposing armies will determine who wins, right? If both sides decide to fight the same way, then yes, you can pretty easily predict who will win the war.

But if the smaller army decides to fight in an unconventional manner, the calculus changes. If the smaller army fights in a way the larger army can’t control, the smaller army actually has about a 60% chance of winning, even if the other army is ten times as large.

George Washington didn’t win the Revolutionary War.

He fought to keep from losing it all in one large battle, until French soldiers and the French fleet arrived in large enough numbers and the British were divided, that Washington could capture half of the English army. Game over.

If George Washington fought in the way the British wanted him to fight, in the way that “gentlemen” conducted the art of war, it would have been a very short rebellion. Washington had to fight an unconventional war to win our freedom.

For far too long we have let our enemies dictate the battlefields on which we will fight.

As a result we have lost many more battles than we have won. We need to wage an unconventional campaign to protect the future of the human race and possibly recover those who have already been harmed.

Because the pharmaceutical companies have control of the legal system through the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, I believe that any attempt to use the courts will inevitably fail.

Because the pharmaceutical companies control the mainstream media,

we should not spend a minute of time worrying about how they will cover us. There may be a case to be made for smaller, alternative media, but we should always be wary of how quickly pharmaceutical money can shut down our stories.

Because pharmaceutical companies give ungodly amounts of money to our politicians, we should never expect anything good to come out of Congress. There have been some excellent fighters on our side, like Congressman Dan Burton, Dave Weldon, Bill Posey, and also Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, but they will be lonely voices in the wilderness.

So what is our trump card, the battlefield upon which we should devote all of our resources?

Owen Shroyer and Jon Rappoport oF Infowars: America’s Children Need Your Help!

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Last week I put out a plea to twenty-five leading individuals with knowledge of vaccine injury to help with my White House petition for a FIVE YEAR MORATORIUM ON CHILDHOOD VACCINES.

At the top of my list were Owen Shroyer and Jon Rappoport of Infowars.  I did this for a very specific reason, combining a relatively young truth seeker, with a more experienced veteran.

About Owen Shroyer…

For Shroyer, who is one of the leading lights of Infowars, you might be surprised to learn he has taken the “red pill“ (Matrix reference), relatively recently, in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing.  In listening to Shroyer, it is clear he understands what is at stake in the vaccine issue.

As something of a veteran in this fight I have to say I am pleased at what I see as an emerging libertarian streak in this generation.  I especially like the libertarian philosophy as it allows one an ideological basis to attack the lies of the left and right.  As an attorney, this comes naturally to me.  We are taught to follow principles, not personalities.

There is a reason all dictators throughout history have wanted to “first, kill all the lawyers.”  We are trained to follow the law, without fear or favor.  Tyrants of all persuasions fear lawyers.

About Jon Rappaport…

Save 250,000 Children from Autism and 15,000 Babies from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome!

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Oskar Schindler saved about 1,200 Jews from the Nazis in World War II and Steven Spielberg made an Academy Award winning film about him.

My ambitions are much greater.

My five year moratorium on childhood vaccines (especially with the changes I’ve suggested to be implemented in those five years) mean that CONSERVATIVELY I WILL BE SAVING 250,000 CHILDREN FROM AUTISM AND 15,000 BABIES FROM SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME.

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/five-year-moratorium-childhood-vaccines

I really do have to stress that this is a CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE.  The true effects are likely to be MUCH GREATER.

When you look at the numbers for the numbers of children diagnosed with autism you get a lot of variation in the numbers.  50,000 a year is a conservative estimate.  It’s likely to be much higher.

That’s not counting all the kids with ADHD, sensory processing disorder, and all of the other associated learning problems I believe should be laid at the feet of vaccines.

It’s estimated that the cost of raising a child with autism is about three million dollars, a good deal of it paid for by the government, insurance, or borne by the families.  Let’s look at just the lost opportunity costs.  250,000 kids and each one costing $3,000,000, that’s a savings of $750 BILLION DOLLARS.

The Single Word Which Destroys Vaccine Mandates: MORATORIUM…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD      (Banned by the Commonwealth Club since 2015!)

I like to win. I hate to lose.

Since January of 2002 when my son suffered a vaccine reaction and was plunged into twelve days of silence after having just passed a developmental check-up with flying colors, I have been an activist.

I didn’t have any previous experience as an activist.  And neither did many of my fellow parent-activists.  We foolishly believed that if we raised the issue of vaccine injury with our doctors, as well as local, state, and national officials, somebody would act.

We were wrong.

Instead, we were subjected to ridicule, kept off the airwaves, then when we kept talking and other parents found us credible, our pharma-bribed public officials responded by passing vaccine mandates like SB 277 in California and are now looking to do the same in France and Italy.

And all of us nice, well-behaved parents who are awake to the dangers are still running around wondering how we stop this insanity.  I have one simple word, but it may terrify you.  Are you ready?

MORATORIUM.

That’s it.

We need to call for a FIVE YEAR MORATORIUM ON CHILDHOOD VACCINES until we correct the problems which have led to this crisis.  Hey, and I just happen to have one handy here!

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/five-year-moratorium-childhood-vaccines

Let me be clear.  I intend to hurt pharma because they have not acted like responsible human beings.  I mean to turn BIG PHARMA into little pharma.

And I believe those in pharma are SO STUPID that they are going to help me in this mission.

ACTIVATE THE LIST-SERV OF PHARMA MOUTHPIECES!  MULTIPLE EDITORIALS USING THE EXACT SAME WORDS MUST APPEAR IN DIFFERENT PUBLICATIONS AROUND THE GLOBE ON THE EXACT SAME DAY TO FIGHT THIS WHITE HOUSE PETITION!

Just so there’s no confusion, Kent Heckenlively, co-author of PLAGUE and author of INOCULATED is calling for a FIVE YEAR MORATORIUM ON CHILDHOOD VACCINES.  As long as the mainstream media gets that point correct in every article they write about this effort, I promise to fight you with half my brain tied behind my back.

If you leave out the fact that I’ve written TWO FABULOUS BOOKS which extensively detail the scientific corruption around these issues, I’ll take you on with the full force of my intellect.  And it won’t be pretty.

These White House petitions only give you eight hundred characters to make your point, so I really had to hone down my message.  I have to admit I like the discipline of needing to be brief.

Point One:  Autism and other childhood disorders are skyrocketing, putting the future of humanity at risk.

Point Two: Recent technological breakthroughs have allowed us to take an unprecedented look at what is actually in vaccines.  The findings?  Unknown and untested chemicals and biological agents are contained in these vaccines.

Point Three:  Finally, we have some published, peer-reviewed evidence on the health of vaccinated and unvaccinated children.  What does the data show?  Just as we thought.  Unvaccinated children are MUCH healthier than vaccinated children.

Request One:  Impose a five year moratorium on all childhood vaccines.

Request Two: Repeal the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act and return vaccines to the same rules under which ALL other consumer products are sold.  (Really, if vaccines are as safe as sugar water, you don’t need this law, do you?)

Request Three: Perform large scale studies of vaccinated and unvaccinated children.

Request Four:  Ban direct pharmaceutical advertising to consumers. (Did you know that up to 70% of the evening news is funded by the pharmaceutical industry?  This will not only allow news organizations to do real journalism about vaccines, our prescription drug addiction, but it means you don’t have to endure those Viagra commercials while watching TV with your kids.)

I am CALLING OUT VARIOUS FIGURES ENGAGED IN PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES TO RESPOND TO THIS APPEAL.

Five Year Moratorium on Childhood Vaccines – White House Petition

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Concerned parents have done all that can be expected to raise an alarm over the health of our children.

One in six US children has a learning or behavior problem.  One in ten has asthma.  One in ten has ADHD.  One in thirteen has a food allergy.  One in fifty has autism.  Thirty five hundred children a year die from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.  Seven hundred and fifty thousand children suffer from seizures.

All of these problems can be traced to the toxic witches’ brew of vaccines, that recent evidence has shown to be contaminated with unsuspected chemical and biological agents.  As our understanding of science gets better, we now understand that the vaccine program has been an unrestricted experiment in immuno-therapy on our children and they are suffering the consequences.

The authorities in charge of our government and science have done NOTHING to stop this crisis.

It is time to DEMAND action.

We must IMPOSE AN IMMEDIATE FIVE YEAR BAN ON ALL CHILDHOOD VACCINES AND FIX THE LEGAL AND SCIENTIFIC PROBLEMS WHICH HAVE LED TO THIS DISASTER FOR HUMANITY.

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/five-year-moratorium-childhood-vaccines

Yes, I am taking it to the pharmaceutical companies.

I am done trying to reason with people who have turned a deaf ear to our complaints.  I think there have been those of us in the community who have long believed that the leaders of our government, science, and industry would listen if they were just fully informed about our concerns.

Help me END Autism – NOW!

A Starting Point…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

“Note from Tim Bolen – Autism (Severe Vaccine Damage) is the elephant in the room no one in authority wants to talk about.  Why?  It is too horrible to contemplate – especially to admit that vaccines did this, so, as Kent, and millions of parents, and grand-parents, have found out, there is NO OFFICIAL EFFORT, WHAT-SO-EVER, to cure, mitigate, repair, or even ACKNOWLEDGE that there are ways to turn vaccine-damage around…”

As of this writing there are a little more than eight hundred signatures on my White House petition regarding Suramin and autism.

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/suramin-autism-and-other-conditions

I’m genuinely please by these numbers, although I know we still have a little more than 99,000 signatures to go.

As English Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once said, “First you have to win the argument.  Then you win the vote.”

As many of you are probably aware from my previous articles, Suramin was developed more than a hundred years ago to treat African Sleeping Sickness, a disease caused by a parasite.  Unknown at the time was exactly how this parasite caused the disease.

I have an idea.

Normally, a properly functioning body would rid itself of a parasite.  Therefore, a parasite would probably need to disable the body in some fashion, but not in a manner so severe as to cause the death of the host organism.

That’s where Dr. Robert Naviaux of the University of California, San Diego and his CELL DANGER THEORY comes in.  Now, the cell danger theory did not originate with Dr. Naviaux.  It has been around for quite some time.  Dr. Naviaux’s creative insight was to see if it could be applied to conditions like autism or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), or many of the other chronic diseases which are on the rise in our society.

The cell danger theory holds that when the cells detect a potentially dangerous threat (a chemical, virus, or other micro-organism), they respond by shutting down communication with other cells.  It is possible for this signal to get “stuck,” creating a chronic health condition.

Please feel free to insert your own explanation as to what danger might cause the cells of a person to feel that there was an imminent danger in the neighborhood and they all had to go quiet like a baby deer in the forest.  Your answer is just as likely to be right as mine.  But that’s not what we’re talking about.  We just want the cells to start TALKING TO EACH OTHER again.

Suramin tells the cells it’s safe to start communicating with each other again.

Naviaux was able to find evidence of this abnormal cellular communication by optimizing his mass spectrometer to find a unique pattern of metabolites (cellular signaling molecules) which were disrupted in autism and in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

In three different animal studies, he was able to use Suramin (antipurinergic therapy) to restore cellular communication.

How the Democrats LOSE California…

By Kent Heckenlively, J.D.

The legendary former Democratic Speaker of the House, Tip O’Neill once said, “All politics is local.”

I’m a native son of the Golden State.  Yes, I know it seems overwhelmingly Democratic Party today, but trust me on this, the Democrats are on the verge of losing the state.  The big things are determined by a thousand little things.  I want to share a few of those things which convince me that even in California, the days of the Democrats are numbered.

Sharing…

A few weekends ago I went to Santa Cruz for the graduation of my nephew from the University of California.  His parents live in Santa Cruz as well.  (All names have been changed to protect the formerly liberal, but now conservative.)

My brother in law, Paul, has a business in downtown Santa Cruz.  There are a number of homeless people who will urinate and defecate on the wall of his business and in the front entryway.  Paul has taken matters into his own hands by installing multiple cameras around his business, then photographing them, as they appear, sometimes as they are in the act of urinating and defecating, then calling the police.

In most cities in the country, public urination and defecation would be a cause for shame, or at the very least, significant police interest.  (Let’s call it the ‘one-pee, or one-poop rule.’) The police try their best under the liberal policies, but Paul kept up his actions.  Now his area of Santa Cruz is regularly patrolled.  It is the cleanest section of Santa Cruz, but every week he is still photographing various law-breakers and phoning the police.  He has them on speed-dial.

The vast majority of us do not have any contact with the violent M-13 gangs of predominantly illegal immigrants.  However, Santa Cruz does.  When the mayor allowed ICE to conduct an operation against the M-13 gangs in the town, it so outraged the citizens that the mayor was forced to issue an apology.  (Really, I can’t make this stuff up!)

This is why I could never go into politics.  Because if I was the mayor I would stand up there and say, “I’m really sorry for trying to protect your lives.  In the future I will be more politically correct and look forward to seeing you again at your funerals.”

Both Sides of a Political Argument…

My sister in law, Sherry, is interested in both sides of politics, and took her son to a Bernie Sanders rally during the last election.  There was a large crowd, and they waited for hours, listened to the speech, then left peacefully.

Later in the campaign they went to San Jose to hear Donald Trump speak.  They parked in what they thought was the main parking garage, but left when they saw it was empty.  Unlike the Sanders rally, the Trump supporters seemed to show up just before the 7 p.m. rally.  (Maybe more of the Trump supporters had jobs?  Just a thought!)

The Trump rally was standing room only and Sherry was able to stand right near the front barricade.  She thought Trump’s message sounded like it had a lot of the same themes as Sanders did, but the events after the rally were markedly different.

The rally was calm and peaceful, but right after the rally, the police let in the protesters, who seemed to perform right on cue for the cameras.  Yes, Sherry, was right there when that one female Trump supporter was egged and attacked.  Sherry found some big, beefy guys to stand on both sides of her as she made her way out of the rally.

And it was a good thing she didn’t park in that original garage…

The Democratic Party Collapse…

It Is Here Right Now..

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

When I was younger I wrote a great deal about politics and many thought I’d eventually run for office.  I mean, isn’t that the eventual goal of everybody who writes about politics?  It’s just the platform they’re using to get to the next step?

But my college roommate had a different take.  He said, “Kent, you’re doing just what you want to do, writing about what you think is important.  There is no next step for you.”

So there you have it.  

For the last fifteen years I’ve been consumed with autism, the corrupt vaccine schedule, and the political patterns which have allowed this holocaust to rage unchecked in our world.

Yes, I will use the word, holocaust.

Let me say it clearly: Both democratic and republican politicians have allowed this holocaust to rage unchecked.  Republicans may be salvageable at this point. Democrats have embraced lunacy and nothing short of an intervention will save them.

From my knowledge of history I can tell you that I could have easily been an FDR democrat, a Harry Truman democrat, a John F. Kennedy democrat, and although it may come as a shock to some, I voted for Bill Clinton twice, and was happy to do it. (You see, no political party really wants me, because I’m not anybody’s ‘reliable’ vote.)

Aside from his significant personal failings, Bill Clinton is the model democrats should be following in the wake of the Trump victory, but probably will not. Politics is the art of persuasion, not shouting down those who disagree with you. It also helps if you understand the weaknesses of your own arguments and the strengths of your opponents arguments.

After the democrats had lost five out of the last six presidential elections (Nixon, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Reagan, Bush), Clinton founded the Southern Democratic Leadership Council.  The goal was to figure out why democrats kept losing.  There were strategies that democrats could embrace that allowed them to win and he wanted to find them.

Autism Epidemic Ends – June 2020…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Somebody has to be an optimist.

I really don’t have any problem with being the optimist.  And I don’t have a problem with somebody else being the pessimist. (Or realist, if you prefer!)  It’s why my wife and I make such a good team.  I create the vision and she sweats the details.  Twenty-two years of marriage and we’re still going strong.

So let me tell you what my optimist mind says: WE CAN END THE AUTISM EPIDEMIC BY JUNE OF 2020.

It is dependent upon YOU signing and sharing this petition so that by July 9, 2017 we have 100,000 signatures.

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/suramin-autism-and-other-conditions

And when I speak of the end of the autism epidemic, what do I really mean?  I mean that we recover the more than one million individuals with autism, many of them now young adults and living in special homes because they have become too much for their parents to care for at home.

I am speaking of a scientific framework for understanding how vaccines are creating an entire generation of damaged children.  And in understanding HOW this is happening, we create the societal awareness to stop this nightmare.

Why am I so confident that if I can get YOU and 99,998 other people to sign this petition that ALL OF THIS WILL BE FIXED BY JUNE OF 2020?

Even though I consider myself an optimist, I like to think my background as an attorney and science teacher requires me to have some evidence for my optimism.  I think that one of the most difficult issues in autism is that there is NO BIOLOGICAL TEST WHICH TELLS US THIS CHILD HAS AUTISM AND THIS ONE DOES NOT.

HOW CAN YOU TARGET A DISEASE FOR WHICH THERE IS NO TARGET?

WHITE HOUSE ALERT! – Suramin and Autism…

Repairing Autistic Children…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

 

I’ve spent fifteen years as an autism activist and probably written close to a million words on the subject.  This may be the most important topic I’ve ever written about.

I’ve put together a petition on the White House web-site for them to talk to the scientist I believe may have the best guess on how to end the autism epidemic, Dr. Robert Naviaux of the University of California, San Diego.

I assembled all the arguments I thought would conceivably convince 100,000 people to sign the petition in a month, then went to the web-site to type it all in.  I could only use eight hundred characters.  Not eight hundred words.  Eight hundred characters!  That’s just a few paragraphs.

I have a very brief explanation of why people should sign the petition, but to me it’s not complete.  If you already feel fully informed on this issue, please feel free to go to the bottom of this article, click on the link, and sign the petition.  (And thank you!)

IF you need a little more information, please keep reading.

Suramin is a medication developed more than a century ago to treat African Sleeping Sickness, a disease caused by a parasite.  The medication was used SAFELY for more than seventy-five years and was very effective.

In the 1980s suramin was used by researchers investigating treatments for cancer and HIV-AIDS.  These high dosages caused significant toxicity and death.

In 2008, Dr. Naviaux became interested in the question of autism and a possible etiology.  He thought that a common process known to biologists as the CELL DANGER RESPONSE might be at the root of autism, as well as many other chronic diseases, such as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

Naviaux’s cell danger theory of autism proposes that when cells encounter some chemical, virus, or micro-organism that they can’t identify, (immature immune system or novel substance) they may respond by shutting down communication with other cells, prompting a decrease in energy produced by the mitochondria.  If this cell danger response becomes stuck, then a chronic disease state may persist.

The persistence of this cell danger response has been quantified by Naviaux through the use of a mass spectrometer to identify the unique pattern of metabolites (cellular signaling molecules.)  He identified and published on this pattern in autism and has also published SEPARATELY on a unique pattern of metabolites in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

Naviaux identified a previously approved medication, suramin, which would quiet the cell danger response.  It is called anti-purinergic therapy.

Naviaux then proceeded to perform three animal studies demonstrating that suramin could at least temporarily normalize this cellular communication and the animals would demonstrate behavioral changes.

The first group Naviaux used were mice who had autism induced through ‘maternal immune activation’, a commonly accepted proxy for autism.  (Antipurinergic Therapy Corrects the Autism-Like Features in the Poly (IC) Mouse Model, PLoSOne, 2014)

The second group was  mice who had autism induced in a similar manner, but were the human age equivalent of thirty years old.  (Reversal of Autism-Like Behaviors and Metabolism in Adult Mice with Single-Dose Anti-Purinergic Therapy, Translational Psychiatry, 2014)

The third group was genetically designed to have Fragile X syndrome, often called ‘genetic autism.’ (Antipurinergic Therapy Corrects the Autism-Like features in the Fragile X (Fmr1 knoclout) Mouse Model, Molecular Autism, 2015.)

All three groups showed normalization of their metabolites and signs of behavioral changes.

The Trump Card…

“Watch the documentary, VAXXED: From Cover-up to Catastrophe like I did and make up your own mind about vaccines and autism!  GREAT MOVIE!” – Donald J. Trump, June 10, 2017 to his 31.3 million Twitter followers.

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

 

It really shouldn’t be that difficult, should it?

Can you IMAGINE if President Trump actually sent out that tweet?

With that single action, President Trump would bypass the $5.4 billion dollars the pharmaceutical industry spends annually to fund, and control, the nightly news, their army of Washington lobbyists, and DESTROY the premise of the corrupt 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act which created the monstrosity known as “Vaccine Court.”

I know President Trump likes to win.  This would be a win for him.  In fact, the autism community has been winning so much, I’m starting to get a little tired.

First, there was the delicious Ian Lipkin-Mady Hornig law suit death match which revealed the unbelievably bad behavior of Ian Lipkin, like dropping his drawers in front of his ex-lover so she could examine a lesion on his ass.  Then when she expressed some discomfort, he told her that it was her job as medical director of the Center for Immunity and Infection to look at his hairy ass.  I CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

Battle for the “Iron Throne” of Science at Columbia University…

Opinion by Kent Heckenlively, JD

I have come to the conclusion that many of my dear brothers and sisters in the autism community are suffering from “Stockholm Syndrome” in what has developed as the Ian Lipkin vs. Mady Hornig battle for the Iron Throne of Science at Columbia University.

“Stockholm Syndrome” is a condition in which hostages develop a psychological alliance with their captors.  Before you think I am being flippant or rude, I ask you to hear me out.

Lipkin is probably just as much of a sexist, controlling tyrant as Hornig paints him to be.  But the greater crimes are the ones in which both of them have participated.

I am a middle school science teacher.  If you walked the halls of my school you might see posters proclaiming the “Ten Pillars of Character”, of which the first is honesty.

Another poster might read, “Integrity is doing the right thing when NOBODY is watching.”  

Those are the values of my school.  Those are my values. And I believe those should be the values we demand of our scientists.  Are you still with me?  Have I said anything offensive, yet?

If in the course of my teaching I slammed a student’s head into a wall and caused permanent brain damage I would rightly be fired, prosecuted, and sent to jail.

Let’s cut to the chase…

By their actions, Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig have allowed EXACTLY that to happen to millions of children in the United States and around the world. Pediatricians are still giving dangerous vaccines to children, the schools are still struggling under the weight of trying to educate vaccine-injured children, and every week we can look forward to news of some of these children dying from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or wandering away from their caretakers and drowning in lakes and rivers, or from exposure.

All of this remains UNACKNOWLEDGED by our news media.

And yet there are those who want to take the side of Mady Hornig as an abused woman, who is BRAVELY trying to battle a bad man and scientist.

PLEASE!

I have absolutely no hesitation in telling you that I will gleefully pull up a chair with my bowl of hot buttered popcorn, and watch this spectacle unfold.

Hornig’s claims to date are ONLY that Lipkin is a bad man AND probably a FELON due to misuse of federal research funds, BUT NOT THAT HIS SCIENCE IS A LIE WHICH HAS DAMAGED MILLIONS OF CHILDREN.

It is common for me as a teacher to deal with students who tell each other to “Shut up!”  Yes, sometimes I’ll send them to the principal’s office and sometimes we’ll sit down and talk with their parents about proper behavior.  But never do I have to sit a student down and explain why it’s wrong to lie and cause harm to millions of people.

I know that every single student would give the correct answer to the question:  “It is okay to lie and harm millions of people if it allows you to keep your job at a prestigious university.  True or false?  ______________________.”

It really is pretty simple to me.  Tell the truth.

To me, Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig have taken every one of you hostage by the lies they have told about vaccines.

They have taken you hostage when your doctors don’t believe you.  Because who have your doctors listened to?  The dynamic duo from Columbia University, aided and abetted by the pharmaceutical industry and the Centers for Disease Control.

Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig have taken every one of you hostage when your friends don’t believe you.

Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig have taken every one of you hostage when your family members don’t believe you.

Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig have taken every one of you hostage when your marriages break up, when your bank accounts are bled dry as you try to heal your damaged child, or when you long for the day your child will have a conversation with you, or be able to use the bathroom on their own.

This has gone on since at least 2004, when they first looked into the question of mercury in vaccines and the development of autism.  That is thirteen years.

How many of you would like those thirteen years back, with your doctors, and your family and friends believing you?

The Study Which Will END Autism!

And probably Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ME/CFS as well…

I always tell my students that when a scientific concept is finally understood the answer should be simple, elegant, and yes, even beautiful in its own way.  That moment has NOW been reached in autism and the results published for the entire world to see.

I know there are FACTIONS in the autism community, as well as in the chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) community.  But it is time to put those differences aside and unite to support this research.  The FATE OF ALL OF US depends on joining together in common cause to end these epidemics.

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

At 6:33 a.m. on Friday, May 26, 2017 I received the following email from Dr. Robert Naviaux, Professor of Genetics, Biochemical Genetics and Metabolism, and co-director of The Mitochondrial and Metabolic Disease Center at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine:

Hi Kent,

The results of the suramin autism treatment clinical trial were published today in Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology.  I’ve attached a pdf copy and a question and answer sheet that we prepared to help discuss some of the results.

I’m very grateful to you for helping us to get out the word.  The moon rock and card with the Dali Lama that you sent me in 2013 were an inspiration.  I still have them on my desk.

There will be more material posted on our website at: naviaux.ucsd.edu, later this day.  This will include a poem written by a teenage boy with ASD who was in the study.  UCSD will also be launching a website with extra content about the study later today.  I will let you know when the link goes live.

Thank you so much for all your help.

Sincerely, Bob.

As I always do with my science students, I want to start with the problem.  

Defining the problem is usually KEY to finding the answer.  One of Naviaux’s most important contributions to understanding these conditions is his analysis of something called the CELL DANGER RESPONSE (CDR).  I will let Dr. Naviaux speak about it in his own words.

CELL DANGER RESPONSE: The CDR is a natural and universal cellular response to any injury or stress.  Its purpose is to help protect the cell and to jump-start the healing process.  But sometimes the CDR gets stuck.  This prevents completion of the natural healing cycle and can permanently alter the way the cell responds to the world.  When this happens, cells behave as if they are still injured or in imminent danger, even though the original cause of the injury or threat has passed.  On a molecular level, the defended set points for homeostasis are altered.  This creates a pathological metabolic memory – an abnormal cellular response – that leads to chronic disease.  When this happens during early childhood development, it causes autism and many other chronic childhood disorders.  When it happens later in life, a persistent CDR can lead to immune exhaustion and it can lower the resistance to chronic infections.  When it swings in the other direction, the immune system takes on a hair trigger and it leads to inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.  In both cases, it increases the prevalence of chronic disease.

Tp put it in simple terms, when the cell thinks there is a danger in the body, it shuts down communication with other cells.  This affects development, as well as proper functioning of all your biological systems.  Got it?  It’s pretty simple.

I bet you can even figure out the answer. Find a medication that tells the cells that it’s safe to communicate.  

The same thought occurred to Dr. Naviaux.  And he found a medication that does exactly that, suramin.

SURAMIN:  Suramin . . . sends the cellular equivalent of the “all clear” or safety signal.  In this capacity, suramin and other antipurinergic drugs, are a kind of molecular armistice therapy (MAT), signaling the ceullar war is over, the danger has passed, and cells can return to “peacetime” jobs like neurodevelopment, growth and healing.

Some kind of chemical, toxin, or infection is LIKELY to be the cause of the cell danger response being activated.  But we do not even need to fight over WHAT might be the trigger, if we can fix it.  Let that be a conversation for another day.

Now that I’ve piqued your curiosity you probably want to know how it worked.  Again, I use Dr. Naviaux’s own words.

THE CLINICAL EFFECTS:  Suramin works by removing negative signals that block or slow natural child development.  It is more like removing the brakes then pressing the accelerator.  Accelerated catch-up development occurs in the first few weeks when the brakes are removed because the child is ready to develop, but was otherwise blocked by their illness.  This reminds me of giving a child who has an inborn error of metabolism a vitamin or nutrient that they can’t make, or taking away a toxin, the children begin to blossom.  Children with severe oral motor dyspraxia in the SAT-1 study started humming and singing nonsense tunes around the house in the first few days after suramin.  Like a baby learning to talk for the first time, they began making sounds with their mouth, lips, and tongue that they had never made before.  We had four non-verbal children in the study, two 6 year olds and the two 14 year olds.  The 6 and 14 year old who received suramin said their first sentence of their lives about 1 week after the single suramin infusion.  This did not happen in any of the children given placebo.

For those of us who have non-verbal children, it is difficult to fully describe the excitement I feel when I read this account.  

I have NEVER had a conversation with my 19 year old daughter.

But I KNOW there is a wonderful person inside who has so much to tell me.

I will perhaps break a confidence by telling you I have talked privately in the past to Dr. Naviaux about what he thinks might happen in the future.  

IF suramin works out as a treatment protocol, he thinks it might end up being something that is infused every 6-8 weeks until the results are sustained and the child has caught up to their peers in development.  For younger children, that might mean a year of infusions.  For those older, it might mean two years.  We genuinely do not know.  It was a small study, limited to five boys because of financial constraints, so this is something which needs to be studied in great detail.

But these are such exciting possibilities for rescuing our lost children.

My Evening With Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig…

As an attorney I learned that people often don’t readily tell the truth.  Especially when they have done the wrong thing…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Federal Court documents say:

“Throughout their professional relationship, Lipkin made clear that he expected Plaintiff to be his largely-silent and always subservient partner, forced to work almost exclusively on his projects and to give him undue credit for her own work, to the detriment of her own professional growth, stature in their shared field, and productivity.” 

That’s why my approach was always to ask questions, listen to the answers, and act as if I totally got what they were saying. You’ve probably seen the same act on pretty much every cop show.

But what I was REALLY doing was seeing how they answered the questions.

You see, among lawyers, the LOGICAL presumption is that if you catch them lying about ONE THING, you’re probably going to catch them LYING about a LOT of other things.

If you catch them acting ABNORMAL OR CORRUPTLY in one circumstance, you have a window into how they’re likely to act in similar circumstances.

On the night of September 19, 2013 I spent time with Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig at a small cocktail party in Manhattan.  

I knew who they were and they knew who I was.  I had HOPED that there was the possibility of making movement in answering important questions about chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and autism.

In light of Mady Hornig’s lawsuit against Ian Lipkin and Columbia University, it is interesting to review my visit with the two of them.

I have ALWAYS believed that if my enemies want to end this war, I will be happy to go the extra mile for peace and truth.  Some of my fellow autism activists thought it was a fool’s errand.  But I always like to get an up-close look at my enemy.  Sometimes I will discover I have misjudged them.  Other times I will realize that there is no way we can be allies and that there is only ONE Way all of this will end.

I give you the account of my night with Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig as detailed in my book, INOCULATED: How Science Lost its Soul in Autism.

“I must confess that I was nervous as I dressed in my New York hotel room for what was billed as a “Cocktail Reception to Celebrate the Work of The Center for Infection and Immunity Featuring W, Ian Lipkin, M.D., Columbia University, Mailman School of Public Health – Hosted by Emanuel Stern at the SoHo Grand Hotel, 310 West Broadway, New York City.”  I couldn’t help but feel like some barbarian tribal leader, summoned by Caesar to Rome for an audience.  I dressed in black and when I looked at myself in the mirror thought I looked a little like Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi, surrendering myself to Darth Vader to be taken to the Death Star.  I mean, isn’t that what heroes are supposed to do?  Venture into the very lair of the enemy?  Luke at the Death Star?  Frodo and Sam at Mount Doom?

Soho Grand Hotel – New York City

I took a cab to the SoHo Grand Hotel, entered the lobby, got directions to where the event was being held, and made my way to the location.  I opened the doors, expecting to see some grand ballroom, but instead saw a cramped little space with six to seven tables, a buffet and drink table set up at the back with folders on the work of the center, along with some cute little blue plastic circular hand sanitizers emblazoned with the crest of the Center for Infection and Immunity as well as a line drawing of a microscope, and a podium with microphone at the front for the speakers.  There were maybe thirty people in the room.  I’d seen bigger crowds at a PTA meeting.  “This is the grand citadel of science?” I thought to myself.

Looking around the room I quickly identified Mady Hornig.  She is an attractive woman, with a lean, angular face, surrounded by ringlets of dark hair.  I made my way over to her and introduced myself.

She smiled broadly, cocked her head a little to the side, and extended a hand.  “Kent!  It’s so nice to finally meet you!”

“Really?” I asked, with a laugh.  “It’s nice to meet me?”

“Yes.  Why not?”

“Well, I’ve written articles which have criticized some of your research.”

“Were they mean?  Or rude?”

“I don’t think so.  I didn’t make it personal.”

“Then we don’t have a problem.”

“Okay, Mady, I’ve got a question I wanted to ask you for years.”

I paused for a moment and she gave me a look which seemed to say, “Proceed.”

“I consider your article, ‘The Neurotoxic Effects of Thimerosal are Mouse Strain Dependent’ to be one of the most important papers in autism.  But you published that in 2004 and now it’s 2013.  Why no other papers?”

She rolled her eyes and said, “You don’t know?”

“No.”

She proceeded to tell me that after the publication of her paper, a blogger named Autism Diva had published many articles criticizing her work, referring to it as the “Rain Mouse” experiments[i] and it had caused her a great deal of difficulty with the Columbia administration.  “I felt like I was under probation for like five years after that paper came out.”

“Did this Autism Diva person have any academic credentials that would make the administration sit up and take notice?” I asked.

“None.”

“And they listened to her?”

“Yes.”

The Case Against Ian Lipkin – As Told by the “Other Rat,” Mady Hornig…

I want to be crystal clear I do not have an ounce of sympathy for Mady Hornig and what she endured at the hands of Ian Lipkin.

Opinion By Kent Heckenlively, JD

You see, I was brought up by a STRONG WOMAN, and if any man within a mile of her tried to do what Hornig now accuses Lipkin of doing, that man would quickly live to regret it.  This abuse would not have lasted years and decades.

Hornig’s complaint, filed on May 18, 2017 in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, Case #1:17-cv-03602-ER is a story of dishonesty and indecency in the SMALL THINGS.

The GREATER CRIMES of Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig,

the attack on good scientists like Dr. Andrew Wakefield and Dr. Judy Mikovits, who if their research into autism and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) had been actually investigated, might be making a difference in the lives of millions of people today, remains unaddressed.

I have written at length about the GREATER CRIMES of these two individuals.  I will detail now the SMALL THINGS which are alleged by Mady Horning to have occurred between them so you will understand HOW they could be CAPABLE OF MONSTROUS CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

The following is taken directly from Hornig’s complaint, although I have broken it up into specific sections for ease of reading, highlighted in BOLD.

Andrew Wakefield’s Accusers Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig – Publicly “Exposed” and Humiliated…

Columbia Professor Says Boss Made Her Inspect His Butt – New York Post, May 20, 2017

“A Columbia University scientist claims her boss – and former lover – repeatedly dropped his drawers and demanded she diagnose a lesion on his butt.”

Associate Professor Mady Hornig says her boss at the university’s Mailman School of Public Health [Ian Lipkin] also demanded co-credit for her work; kicked her under the table at meetings to keep her from speaking; presented her work as his own, and kept her from getting tenure, Hornig claims in a Manhattan federal court lawsuit.”

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Sometimes reality far outstrips the imagination of even the greatest fiction writer.  For those of you unfamiliar with the dynamic duo of Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig, let me clue you in.

This is the team that went after Dr. Andrew Wakefield

and his claims of a connection between the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine and autism with a vengeance.

They are also the same duo that went after Dr. Judy Mikovits and her findings

of a retrovirus being linked to the development of chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

Do I need to tell any of you that their investigations of both Wakefield and Mikovits were biased, dishonest, and corrupt?

Mady Hornig and Ian Lipkin “Hot for Research.”

And those are the nicest words I can think to use to describe their studies.

Got it? These are the two scumbag scientists that millions of sick people and their families have to thank for derailing the work of good scientists who were trying to alleviate human suffering.

I even have an entire chapter entitled “The Lipkin-Hornig Team” in my new book, INOCULATED: How Science Lost its Soul in Autism.
