Since we were young, we have been given information, either directly or indirectly, and we took them as facts because this is how we also saw the patterns connecting. In other words, we connected the stars that were shown to us and we discovered a constellation. What if I told you that there is a greater constellation than the one shown to us, and that greater constellation might just change our perception of reality? Well, not completely, since all degrees of matter exist regardless. This is about determining the real shape of things. And the theme of this post is part of medical science and how it has been manipulated through politically and financially-motivated scientists and doctors, and how the mainstream media has been used as an informational weapon to keep us distracted.

Everything given to us that was not nature friendly has been presented as healthy and the sole solutions to preserve our species. From molecular cloning and the development of GMO crops, to conserving foods and drinks using compounds with controversial ingredients, to the promotion of scientific and ideological currents, such as Malthusianism and Cornucopianism, in which we are told how humanity will be doomed due to overpopulation and that the only solution is to use molecular cloning, genetic manipulation and preservatives with controversial ingredients as a way to have enough resources in the future. The truth is that overpopulation is real because entire populations had been moved into big cities due to planned past and future industrial revolutions. Nature has been harmed in an unprecedented manner, and the establishment is mainly guilty, and not the civilians, although I believe everybody is equally responsible with preserving nature. Furthermore, “Human Augmentation” is another promoted current by worldwide executive powers, and the intent behind it is apparently to change the laws of evolution by natural selection to evolution by intelligent design; in other words, for the establishment to play God over humanity. I would like to remind these individuals that human augmentation is in clear violation to Mother Nature and such an action will bring a rapid process of natural de-selection. Already, the chaotic mass COVID-19 vaccination campaigns and the promotion of two boosters is bringing this natural de-selection by means of a mass immunological suppression.

Scientists may still be in the introductory stages of research, and there might be a significant and profound degree of association between the immune system and a healthy neurological development, which means that pathogenic immune evasion may also represent an important factor of the onset of fetal neurodevelopmental delays. Virtually all immune cells and numerous immune pathways have associations with neuronal production, growth (neurogenesis) and maintenance, and innovative research broadly used this fact to explore the efficacy rates of various drugs to treat immunological and oncological diseases. Anti-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines generally play a role in neuroprotection, whilst pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines, as well as antibody activation and the recruitment of the vast majority of immune cells, have a bi-directional influence upon neurogenesis rates; a restricted extent of immune activation stimulates neurogenesis whilst exaggerated immune responses inhibit it. Ultimately, it is both exaggerated neurogenesis and inhibited neurogenesis that may affect healthy rates of neurodevelopment in fetuses and babies, given their critical stages of neurological development. And immune-related neurodevelopmental disease (autism) is rather induced by a long sequence of numerous faster and slower rates of neurogenesis. A further apprehension of the relationship between developmental immunity and neurology is essential for innovative research in both immunology and neurology, and it may even be that some major areas of traditional vaccinology may be implicated in this association that requires further scientific analysis.

With regards to vaccination, I would like to make some aspects clear; I am not anti-vax at all. Throughout my life, I had many vaccines administered to me, and I have only not received the flu, the HPV and the COVID-19 ones. With that being said, there needs to be a major discussion about links between inoculation with more live-attenuated pathogens or dead pathogens, as well as simultaneous inoculation with multiple pathogenic copies, during critical stages of brain development, and increased incidences of neurodevelopmental disease, which is also known as autism spectrum disorder. The MMR vaccines alone are quite likely not significantly associated with a higher incidence of autism, and using a few live-attenuated pathogens to immunize young children aged 0-2 might actually stimulate a healthy development of the brain. Nevertheless, the MMR vaccine involves the injection of three different kinds of antigens, which means it trains the immune system to fight against three different kinds of pathogenic agents simultaneously, and this could cause a pronounced development of a few neuronal regions and, consequently, discrepancies in the developmental rates of diverse important neuronal networks due to the clear association between the development of the adaptive immune system and the development of the central nervous system. The injection of dozens of vaccines in children from this age group is associated with a greater incidence of autism, as there is a solid bridge between the adaptive immune system and the brain, and the development of the adaptive immune system influences the development of important brain sub-regions.

The brain has the most pronounced development until the age of 2, and it has been scientifically proven that the infection of the mother with certain pathogens during pregnancy is associated with a higher probability of the baby to develop autism after birth. This is because the immune system of the faetus is dependent upon the immune system of the mother, and once the mother is infected, automatically the fetus is infected too and will develop antibodies against the pathogen. However, that will bring a higher pressure upon certain brain sub-regions to develop because of the link between the adaptive immune system and the brain. This higher pressure will cause some brain sub-regions to over-develop, and others to under-develop, and this discrepancy will more possibly result in a neurodevelopment delay, which is also known as autism spectrum disease. It is more probable that such a repeated vaccination of the baby will lead to the onset of neurodevelopmental delays if the mother had suffered from a significant infectious disease during pregnancy, since the fetus had been exposed to the pathogen as well at that time, and that led to the activation of the immune system of the fetus and an increased demand for neurological developments due to the bridge between the development of the adaptive immune system and neurological development.

Figure 2: The developmental rate of three important sub-sections of the brain during the first stages of postnatal life (Lutein, Brain and Neurological Functions, 2015)

It is possible that the infection of babies any time within their first few years of life could also considerably increase the risk of the onset of neurodevelopmental disease, and this may include a sharper increase of adaptive immune memory without the development of physical disease. It is important to note that the highest developmental rate of the higher cognitive function takes place at around one year of age, whilst the highest developmental rate of language takes place at around eight months of age. And, if maternal infection during pregnancy already constitutes a risk factor for neurodevelopmental disease in offspring, then it could be more likely that the intake of pathogens and antigens by the host cells of babies aged 0-2 leads to the onset of diverse forms of neurodevelopmental disease. However, the intake of more numerous kinds of pathogens and antigens within the first two years of life could be associated with a more significant risk of the onset of neurodevelopmental delays, just as there is a significant higher risk for the onset of neurodevelopmental delays in fetuses whose mothers experienced more significant infectious diseases. A normal process of immunization really does not seem to constitute the actual problem, but a much sharper process of immunization over the first stages of life in case of an exposure to one dangerous pathogen or more numerous kinds of pathogens and antigens that normally cause moderate disease morbidity.

A normal process of immunization in fetuses and infants actually stimulates a healthy and balanced development of all brain regions. The more dangerous the pathogenic agent and its antigens are, the sharper the development of the adaptive immune memory will be, and the same happens in the case of an increased number of infectious pathogens and antigens that have infected the cells of the mothers and the fetuses in cause, and this may, in the majority of the situations, still be the case even if the pathogens are already significantly weakened or lifeless, given that the gain of adaptive immune memory alone constitutes an important factor of neurogenesis and an increased rate of neurological development, and that the infant will become almost or fully protected against the pathogens in cause, despite not having experienced the disease beforehand. And in this case, neurodevelopmental delays are not caused by an impaired neurogenesis, but by an excessive one. It is important to mention that a dose of infant immunization does bring significantly lower risks of adverse neurological events than the onset of a significant maternal infectious disease during pregnancy. Likewise, this seems to be more like a matter of quantity and repetition, whose necessity looks valid, given the far less mature stages of infant immunity.

At this point, we can see there is a possibility that one or a few sessions of interferon-based and interferon-oriented immunization could be safer for babies aged 0-2 than the administration of dozens of pathogen-based vaccines, some of which stimulate the adaptive immune system to simultaneously develop responses and memory against multiple pathogens. Could it really be that such interferon-based and interferon-oriented vaccines, which sharpen the innate immune system and shape qualitative adaptive immune responses if used within the right early timing, are the vaccines of the future? Maybe we are also approaching a stage of medical progress in which we no longer require the usage of needles either.

Figure 3: A significant link between the adaptive immune system and brain development shows there is a need for caution, just as there is a need for caution in all aspects of medicine (source: https://www.frontiersin.org/files/Articles/468190/fnins-13-00916-HTML-r1/image_m/fnins-13-00916-g001.jpg)

We know that there is no difference between infection and vaccination when it comes to the extent of the gained memory of the adaptive immune system. Likewise, when it comes to the developmental rate of the adaptive immune system and the brain, there is no difference between giving babies dozens of vaccines and infecting them with dozens of pathogens. Imagine if the faetus can have smaller or greater implications upon their overall brain developmental rate if the mother is infected during pregnancy, then we can rest assured that giving babies many vaccines will raise their probability to develop smaller or greater issues with regards to the overall brain development. The truth is always in the middle, and the mainstream media and scientists have done a marvellous job at suppressing the truth by focusing on the other extreme to combat an extreme.

Dr. Louis Pasteur himself could be rolling in the grave, seeing these numerous mass vaccination campaigns for newborns and babies, which are rather aggressive and a little bizarre.

Figure 4: A manifesto that questions the efficacy of giving newborns and babies a higher number of vaccines based on live-attenuated pathogens. The most recent statistics show that around 1 in 44 people in the USA were diagnosed with autism in 2021.

Sadly, it is possible that, by 2050, up to a half of the world’s population will be diagnosed with autism, given the trend created with the data above. The problem is that the establishment has done an excellent job at normalizing disease and manipulating public opinion into believing that it is impossible that unnatural causes of disease started to infiltrate and in some areas even dominate during the recent sharp improvement of the tools to detect disease.

If we combine this potential issue with the fact that countless children and teenagers are habitually consuming junk-food, using technology excessively and relying on automation whilst performing important daily tasks, then I believe we should be really worried when it comes to the extension of the neurodevelopmental issue among world populations, especially in countries that are meant to be developed. A regular consumption of GMOs could also play a role in increasing the incidence of neurodevelopmental issues for the next generations. Autism is also referred to as a form of brain inflammation or a partial mental blindness due to the generally narrow focus of many people on the spectrum. Perhaps, the fact that autism can be deemed as a form of partial mental blindness explains why people on the autistic spectrum tend to experience more episodes of depersonalization, especially while feeling overwhelmed. Furthermore, there is a strong link between neurodevelopmental disease, amplification and hormonal dysregulation, meaning that there could also be a causal association with the rise of people identifying as LGBTQ+, and this again, with no disrespect or offense to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community at all. For example, the natural female-to-male occasional dominance (i.e. during intimacy) is often amplified in individuals with diverse forms of neurodevelopmental delays, and this amplification involved an induced hormonal dysregulation, which is often mild, but sometimes gets more serious. Reverse roles of male to female relationships have reached levels of mainstream acceptance and this is no coincidence, given that such hormonal dysregulations have been used as a pretext in the attempt to reduce and eliminate the definition of biological gender.

A mass neurodevelopmental delay is at least an important factor of this, which in turn is caused by multiple factors, such as abuse of technology that has affected people of all age groups and health conditions, mass relocations to areas that are separated from nature, poor diet and the normalization of eating junk food, intoxication of the air in big cities, automation of work tasks, programmed 2D thinking and emotions via television, social media, the educational system and the employment system, and the administration of numerous vaccines to newborns and babies, when critical stages of brain development take place at that time. The ultimate goal seems to be a complete transformation of all people into numbers. Namely, they have planned for an accelerated mixing of genetic backgrounds, then for a genetic mixing with technology, for the creation of one-world government, ideology, religion and, pay attention to this, age! If you take a careful look at how significant autism affects diverse layers of aging, you will see that the process of maturity and physical advancement in age seem to significantly slow down. In layman terms, it seems that the affected people remain young even at ages of 60 and beyond. Sadly, if this continues, we will witness an exponential growth of the number of people who develop mentally and even systemically crippling diseases, as given that autism is a disease of the central nervous system (developmental delays of important encephalon components) and that the nervous system co-ordinates all bodily functions, an exponential growth in the number of people diagnosed with autism will result in an exponential growth in the number of people diagnosed with countless diseases, ultimately in any important area of their body, in the next generations. Many people in the future could sadly develop diseases and not be able to find the causes at all and, in the end, there could be an incredibly high number of people spending most of their life in hospital, all around the world. This post is about a general call to awakening of our consciousness, as this is the only way to find the truth about how the world really works.

It is important to note that this post is not about pointing fingers to any kind of groups and backgrounds, and nor is it encouraging people to hate on doctors and nurses, but it is only a discussion based on biology. I would like to make something clear; autism is not entirely a disease, and people on the spectrum are not handicapped or any lesser of a human. On the contrary, people on the spectrum are generally more gifted than average and the majority of the geniuses and experts who changed the world were on the spectrum, more or less. I personally believe that autism will set mankind free and, if it was used as a weapon by the elites, then this weapon will turn against them. This is because most people on the spectrum become high functioning; they generally have stronger and more precise moral objectives and ultimately become more adapted to the environment than people who are not on the spectrum. Likewise, do not worry because nature will have her revenge, sooner or later.

The projected trend includes long-term increases in promiscuity and also pedophilia

I would like to expose the following; a more widespread neurodevelopmental issue caused by all the factors mentioned above are including something sinister; impact upon the development of romantic and physical attractions, besides already causing a significant loss of regulation of physical intimacy between partners, which is leading to the normalization of inappropriate behaviors in public and eventually to a pronouncedly increased level of promiscuity in society. The West had already experienced a severe increase in the number of divorces due to significant levels of accepted promiscuity and toxic ideologies, which have been normalizing a “hook-up” culture, especially among young people. Dr. Jordan Peterson, a world-renowned clinical psychologist, has given irrefutable evidence that the “hook-up” culture has been destroying the family unit and the individuals making the family unit alike, and this “hook-up” culture represents an important contributor to the problem of abortion of embryos and fetuses where the woman could have said no (there are more than 63 million aborted embryos and fetuses in the United States of America alone), and not to mention that this twisted “culture” also increased the incidences of rape, which in turn also contributed to the rise of the number of unwanted pregnancies. The scientific communities around Harvard University actually came to the conclusion that life begins at conception, and not even when the first heartbeat occurs. Moreover, autistic individuals tend to have increased levels of produced and secreted androgenic hormones, and excessive levels of such hormones are associated with behaviors that are more animalistic in nature, which automatically means the “lizard” area of the brain is more active and can be more stimulated than normal, ultimately resulting in a significant loss of thought and behavioral control in many cases. Not all people that develop autism either genetically or epigenetically are prepared to handle the gifts of autism and many will not realize that their animalistic instincts are higher.

As a result, as multiple generations will pass, eventually it will be many who will not have a significant control over their own behavior, as chemical messengers, like hormones, will be produced more abundantly than normal. There could be a hyper-natural selection of people in the future, which could implicate a general societal chaos before morally, psychologically and emotionally strong people will bring societal conditions that could seem even better at first than the ones before this induced hyper-“natural” selection process, before the end of the life of humanity on Earth. The purpose of this artificially-induced hyper-selection is to make the selected few people like the powerful (meaning that, just as the state of the powerful reflects the state of society, so will the state of society reflect the state of the powerful). Hyper-automation and a complete separation of humanity from her natural origins cannot lead to a continued natural selection. The process of true natural selection cannot be artificially influenced and likewise, the powerful have already started playing Mother Nature in dangerous ways. In other words, there may have been a plan for a forced human evolution to the point of the creation and selection of a super-human species, and in such a process, the majority or vast majority of people would become naturally de-selected (cause chaos and die), and probably only very few would survive and become “super-humans”, before humanity would actually be eradicated with the “super-humans”. The most important cause of this process would be the mass exposure to such autization factors during key stages of neuro-immunological development. This would not just be a next-level dystopic scenario, but would also perfectly play into the depopulation agenda. If we refer to the Book of Genesis in the Bible, where it is written that the giants were born after the sons of God (sons of Set, who is part of the good lineage of people before the worldwide Flood) married the daughters of men (the daughters of Cain, who was part of the bad lineage of people), we can see a process of a little similarity; as the birth of the giants did not mark natural progress, but actually a decay that ultimately resulted in the death of all, but eight people, who were brought into the Ark.

Neurodevelopmental delays are often so serious that they affect areas of personality and identity, which means that potentially induced neurodevelopmental delays may cause brain sub-regions involved in attractions to have a delayed growth more often than we may think, and likewise, the problem could unfortunately include a significant increase the incidences of pedophilia long-term. Speaking in layman terms, let’s say a number of people experiencing significant neurodevelopmental delays will have a mental age that would be ten years lower than the physical age. This would sadly have an effect upon attraction, as the persons would feel like 10 or 15 years younger, for example. That would mean a 25 year old would feel like a 15 year old or less, and find himself/herself orientated to teenagers of such age. Such a scenario seems very possible in the coming decades, and I think we should connect the dots with regards to observing how politicians and gender ideologies are starting to be more tolerant to pedophilia by calling it “minor-oriented attraction”, which is beyond disgusting.

The rapid and sharply exponential increase of significant neurodevelopmental delay cases over the past few generations should alarm everybody and bring a sentiment of urgency for scientific researchers to come with a solution on the table in a record amount of time. An important sign of a link between significant neurodevelopmental delays and higher risks of pedophilia is that leuprolide acetate with tibolone, pregnenolone and even potassium chloride are therapeutic agents that help both people on the autistic spectrum and people with pedophilic tendencies. A deficiency of pregnenolone is caused by a deficiency of neuro-steroids, and this deficiency is significantly associated with a reduced conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone in the mitochondria of oligodendrocytes, which are cells in the brain. Neuro-steroid deficiency is also associated with a higher incidence of autism and epilepsy (Vitamin D3 represents an important example of neuro-steroids). Moreover, the topiramate anticonvulsant agent showed efficacy against autism and, in combination with carbamazepine, against pedophilia too. Somebody needs to mention these aspects so all the major problems will be exposed.

Because of the risks of significant neurodevelopmental delays on the integrity of neurological networks responsible with romantic and physical attraction, as well as personality, autism could actually become the disease of the 21st century, given that these unprecedented changes of lifestyle in the world are inducing unprecedented problems with regards to overall brain development. Teens are attracted to teens. Adults are attracted to adults. In serious cases of neurodevelopmental disease, however, the previous teen attraction can often fail to switch to an adult attraction, although physically, the person becomes an adult. This is because of a neurodevelopmetal delay in the areas of the brain responsible with that. For example, because there are delays in the development of the hypothalamus, there is a lower amount of produced GnRHs, which is associated with abnormal attractions. Of course, this is not to say that the majority of people on the spectrum also have abnormal romantic and physical attractions, but rather that an exponential increase of diagnosed cases of autism will very sadly come hand in hand with an exponential increase of diagnosed cases of pedophilia.

The good news is that these problems can be resolved using innovative methods of therapy and building of partially-developed neurological networks. Applications of Nikola Tesla’s principles into electricity-based therapy, high frequency-based therapies using a number of models presented by Dr. Rife and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) seem to be excellent starting candidates. Of course, then come other important approaches, such as Ultraviolet B radiation-based therapies, the administration of injectable compounds and supplements, such as cerebrolysin, and the addition of Prevotella bivia bacteria into the gut microbiota of the affected people. This is really a matter of connecting the dots of the small details to create the actual big picture. I recently invented a saying; “If God wants us to become like Him, then rest assured that the devil also wants us to become like him”. Overall, such consecutive negative changes take place gradually and in a subtle way, which causes the general public not to notice. But in the end, they will lead to a complete chaos around the world, and I believe we are closer to that chaos than many of us think. If some of you think I am exaggerating, then please accept my sincere apologies. But I personally believe we should be safe, rather than sorry.

The rather possible good news is that such plans of the elite 0.0001% will not come to pass. This is because, given the fact that people who are blind actually see everything, people with a form of “mental blindness” actually see the everything of everything. As a result, Mother Nature will have Her final say.
