Truth Matters: Science, Not Soundbites

Last weekend, I briefly joined a conversation about RFK Jr., only to be met with anger and accusations that I was “ignorant” of supposed hidden studies proving vaccine harm. It was a loud social setting — impossible to have a rational discussion — but even in a quiet room, could reason break through years of misinformation and fear?
What’s most concerning isn’t just one misled parent. It’s how these false narratives are surrounding RFK Jr. — and by extension, President Trump — isolating them from rational voices in the medical field. Physicians who do see what’s wrong with our system, who can fix it through science and logic, are being drowned out by noise and emotion.
The medical system needs change — but only change grounded in truth, evidence, and rational reform will heal it. I still believe there’s an opportunity to do this the right way — but time is running out.

Autsim Medical Misconception:
Everyone familiar with my work knows I’ve long challenged the Biomed world—not because I’m against hope, but because hope without truth leads to harm.
I recently met with a mother who’d spent years with MAPS doctors and functional groups. Her child wasn’t improving—in fact, was worse. She overheard a teen in my practice having a powerful breakthrough and looked at me and said:
“If you think your child will just start talking one day because of Biomed... it’s time to accept you’ve been misled.”
And she was right.
I told her: Most of the kids in my practice can talk. Some struggle, yes—but they communicate. They are not lost. They were never born broken. They were misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and mistreated.
It’s time to reevaluate everything. Start by asking the right question:
“What if this isn’t autism?”

Autism Medical Misconception:
Two Moms. Two Stories. One Shared Truth.
Recently, I met with two mothers of very complex children—both had spent years desperately seeking help through traditional medicine, only to be met with neglect… then turned to “biomed” treatments, which sadly made things worse. At the end of each visit, both women looked at me and said, almost skeptically, “We’ve heard this before.”
My response was simple:
“I understand. But no one has ever told you your child doesn’t actually have autism. I don’t treat autism—because that’s not what this is. This is a medical condition. And while the journey ahead won’t be easy, it’s finally the right one.”
That moment changed everything. For the first time in a long time, both moms smiled—not because the road would be short, but because it could finally lead somewhere. There is real hope when we stop labeling these children and start treating the underlying medical issues that have gone ignored for far too long.

Autism Medical Misconception:
If your child was born healthy and bright—but now struggles to walk up stairs, ride a tricycle, or speak clearly—imagine the torment of knowing something is wrong but being unable to express it. That’s not “autism.” It’s illness. It’s dysfunction. And it’s reversible—if we stop mislabeling these children and start demanding real answers. It is time to break through the wall of silence around RFK and others who could lead the way. Too many children are suffering needlessly while both the traditional and so-called “biomed” systems fail to get it right. Parents must come together now—not later—to push for true medical solutions, not labels.

Autism Medical Misconception:
If a child sometimes appears highly alert, responsive, and connected—only to retreat again—this fluctuation cannot be explained by a permanently “miswired” or structurally abnormal brain. These patterns strongly suggest a medical process, one that ebbs and flows, rather than a fixed neurological impairment.

Persistent motor delays are incompatible with the notion that “autism” is purely a neurodevelopmental or psychiatric disorder. Increasingly, peer-reviewed studies confirm that chronic inflammation—now widely observed in these children—cannot stem from a psychiatric origin. It clearly points to a medical disease process that can and should be diagnosed and treated, if the focus shifts in the right direction.

Autism Medical Misconception:

Everyone says “early intervention is the best chance.”
But the truth? Parents are forced to fight through endless red tape and delays — making it nearly impossible to get timely, effective help.
Even when services are finally provided, it often feels like the people in charge don’t really know what they’re doing. Grant has made his biggest gains not from the system, but from my own consistent work and intervention as his parent.
Parents shouldn’t have to fight this hard. The system must change.

Monday I had a very thought provoking conversation with Dr. Michael Goldberg, a pediatrician that has had significant experience treating autistic children, with excellent results. He has written a whole book about this based on this experience, which I will link below. Interestingly, he has had similar success using the same protocol to treat chronic fatigue syndrome.

Unstitching ADHD: A Fresh Medical Perspective with Dr. Michael Goldberg

In this episode of 'Unstitching ADHD Urban Ed Talks,' host Dr. Stanley Ekiyor is joined by Dr. Michael Goldberg, a pediatrician specializing in neuro-immune health. Dr. Goldberg shares his insights on ADHD, arguing that many children diagnosed today are actually dealing with underlying medical conditions such as viral infections. He emphasizes the importance of addressing diet, viral suppression, and the potential misuse of stimulant medications in managing ADHD. Dr. Goldberg advocates for a medical approach to treating affected children to improve their cognitive functions before educational interventions. This thought-provoking discussion challenges conventional views and encourages a holistic approach to ADHD management.

Our Story

The Neuro-Immune Dysfunction Syndromes (NIDS) Coalition believes that both medical research and data (which shows an explosion in the number of children being diagnosed over the last two decades with Autism, PDD, ADD/ADHD, OCD, and other related disorders) firmly supports that autism and other related conditions are not developmental disorders but are the result of a disease process that is treatable. It is a mistake to classify this as autism because most of these children are fighting NIDS—a complex immune / complex viral disorder.
