Stealth Adapted Viruses Cause Autism

    SOUTH PASADENA, CA, January 16, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- It is difficult to overestimate the enormous tragedy that befalls those whose lives are shattered by autism. The grief extends beyond the autistic patient to family members, educational facilities, and society at large. Yet autism is seemingly being exploited under the umbrella of the anti-vaccination movement. There are many contradictions within this movement, which reflect self-interest and superficial scientific inquiry. The promotion of self-interest includes lucrative screenings of films, commercial conferences, profitable internet groups and authoring uninformative books. While an accusatory common theme is echoed, the specific explanations for autism differ. The accusatory theme is that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is manned by individuals willing to sacrifice children at the behest of profit-seeking pharmaceutical executives.

In a patent application, Dr. Andrew Wakefield claimed that autism was caused by the live measles virus in the measles mumps rubella (MMR) vaccine. The clinical data presented in a subsequent Lancet paper were criticized for possibly falsely describing a direct timeline between MMR vaccination and the actual onset of autism. The publication helped consolidate the growing anger and frustration in many parents of autistic children.

Other anti-vaccine advocates, including Mr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., blame autism on mercury-containing thimerosal, which is used as an antibacterial preservative in many vaccines. This explanation sidesteps the issue that mercury is not included in the MMR vaccine. Moreover, little consideration is given to the historical widespread uses of mercury in therapeutics and in gold mining operations; well prior to autism being described. Thimerosal poisoning has occurred in primates and presents with kidney damage; a feature not apparent in children with autism. Also unexplained is the occurrence of autism in children with minimal exposure to vaccine-derived mercury. Aluminum is being alternatively identified as the major toxic component of many vaccines. Indeed, some have generalized that all vaccines are inherently toxic, with multiple potential adverse effects, including autism.

The flaws and inconsistencies in the arguments by anti-vaccine advocates have allowed the CDC and other vaccine proponents to refrain from engaging in scientific discourse. Instead of improving their science, some within the anti-vaccine movement have resorted to "hype" surrounding largely irrelevant issues. An example is the recorded telephone conversations from Dr. William Thompson of the CDC to Mr. Brian Hooker, a parent of an autistic child. The discussions revolved around the apparent decrease in autism in African American boys, in whom MMR administration was delayed. A decrease in autism was not seen in white children or in African American girls, in whom vaccine administration was similarly delayed. Epidemiological data are rarely conclusive and there is a legitimate responsibility of federal officials to withhold contradictory data, which are prone to be misunderstood. In this case, it was thought that symptomatic African American boys were possibly being medically identified before healthier controls and, therefore, more likely to receive an earlier MMR vaccine. The recorded conversations were, nevertheless, presented in the movie VAXXED as a blanket indictment of the MMR vaccine being received by all children. It is socially objectionable for the leadership of the anti-vaccine movement to vilify the motivation of named individuals at the CDC, potentially subjecting them to personal injuries by hostile assailants. A more authentic criticism is that public health officials are simply not smart enough to innovatively rethink their opinions.

There is an explanation for autism as a virus infection acquired from the mother during pregnancy. The viruses causing autism are derivatives of conventional viruses in which the genes coding for the relatively few major components normally targeted by the cellular immune system, are deleted or mutated. This immune evading mechanism is termed stealth adaptation. Stealth adapted viruses infections are unsuspected in routine pathology because of the failure to evoke an inflammatory response; the accepted hallmark of an infectious disease. Although the cellular immune system does not normally recognize stealth adapted viruses, inflammation to minor virus antigens may occur if the immune system is sufficiently stimulated. This may potentially occur with vaccination and also with the illnesses that vaccines are intended to prevent. The growth of stealth adapted viruses can also be promoted by other viruses, including those present in live virus vaccines. The role of stealth adapted viruses in autism is more than a hypothesis and is based on several years of culturing blood and cerebrospinal fluid from many children with autism, as well as culturing blood samples from several of their mothers.

DNA sequence data indicate that certain stealth adapted viruses unequivocally originated from African green monkey simian cytomegalovirus (SCMV). This finding highlights a major public health blunder in producing polio vaccines in cultured kidney cells from monkeys known to be infected with CMV. CDC, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) officials have seemingly opted to refrain from testing patients' blood samples for stealth adapted viruses. Adding to the reluctance to especially pursue monkey-derived viruses, is that CMV contaminated polio vaccines were tested in chimpanzees and this probably led to the origin of HIV, the AIDS virus.

CDC officials are compelled to respond to legitimate scientific opinion generated within the community. It is rather disappointing, therefore, that anti-vaccine advocates have shown minimal or no interest in stealth adapted viruses. The major rebuff is that discussion of stealth adapted viruses is "off message" and beyond their expertise. The hypocrisy of evoking passionate anger among parents by referring to corporate greed, while focussing on money-generating, publicity endeavors, is simply lost on many of these individuals. If they were truly concerned with science, they would be seeking answers and actively trying to reconcile the inconsistencies in the major themes of autism causation.

Autism is a devastating neurological illness. It ranges in severity from total incapacity to social awkwardness. It has the hallmarks of a stealth adapted virus encephalopathy, as do such common illnesses as the chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. A persuasive argument can be made that infants of such women should not be vaccinated till their presumed pregnancy-transmitted infection is suppressed. Similarly, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine should be withheld from adolescents experiencing brain damage-related symptoms. Polio virus-induced paralysis is known to only affect approximately one percent of those infected with the virus. Yet, polio virus vaccine is administered to all children. This line of reasoning would argue that all vaccines should be currently withheld, even if this only protects an occasional stealth adapted virus infected individual from an adverse vaccine response.

Although stealth adapted virus infections are not suppressed by the immune system and may, in fact, be exacerbated by vaccination, the important news is that all viruses can be suppressed via the alternative cellular energy (ACE) pathway. As shown in a series of recent publications, this source of cellular energy is distinct from the energy obtained from food metabolism. It occurs from the absorption into the body's fluids of an external force termed KELEA (kinetic energy limiting electrostatic attraction). A successful clinical trial was conducted using ultraviolet lamp illumination of neutral red dye dissolved in KELEA activated fluid. As the mode of action of the KELEA activated fluid is now better understood, there is good reason to believe that virus suppression will similarly occur from drinking KELEA activated water. Ideally, women would begin drinking KELEA activated water, prior to and certainly throughout pregnancy. The consumption of KELEA activated water by both mother and child would continue at least till all symptoms had resolved. This approach can probably also obviate the need for early vaccinations.

This message needs to resonant with the public to generate the required level of engagement with public health authorities. It will be a challenge to divert the public's attention away from the themes of the present-day leadership within the anti-vaccination movement. Still, the stakes are high and successful therapy is urgently needed. Producing KELEA activated water is without significant costs. Moreover, this approach to therapy is also appropriate for immediate testing in Zika virus-infected pregnant women. Information on stealth adapted viruses, KELEA and the ACE pathway is available on the internet, including a YouTube video describing results from the earlier autism study (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o520BTyCFRw).
