When combined with a plant-based diet, fermented foods offer a potent combination that can enhance gut health and provide numerous benefits for the body.
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the relationship between gut health and overall well-being. As individuals seek natural ways to support their digestive system, fermented foods have emerged as a key player in promoting a healthy gut.
Understanding Fermented Foods:
Fermented foods have a rich history and are found in various cultures worldwide. The fermentation process involves the transformation of food by beneficial bacteria, yeast, or fungi. This process not only increases the shelf life and flavor of the food but also enhances its nutritional value and introduces beneficial microorganisms known as probiotics.
Probiotics and Gut Health:
Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. These beneficial bacteria populate the gut and play a crucial role in maintaining a balanced microbiota, supporting digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall immune function. By incorporating probiotics into our diets, we can positively influence our gut health.
Fermented Foods and Plant-Based Diets:
Plant-based diets, centered around whole, unprocessed plant foods, are inherently rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. When combined with fermented foods, which act as natural probiotic powerhouses, plant-based diets can offer a synergistic effect for gut health.

We see an odds ratio of 5 when comparing autism in vaxxed vs. unvaxxed in MULTIPLE studies. The before:after odds are even more extraordinary. How can we ignore all this evidence?
If you google ‘Vaccines cause Autism… meme’.. you’ll see 1000’s of mostly silly memes and hysterical nonsense, mostly from the US – ALL DECLARING VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. Of course.. because if Steve Kirsch’s proof were accepted it would cost BIG PHARMA $ billions, though it would save countless of us from a life of suffering. The same mockery campaign was used to trash ‘HORSE PASTE’ Ivermectin which would have saved millions of us from a horrible death while costing the Covid Mafia billions in lost profits….– (inserted comment from thefreeonline)
Executive summary
Here’s my favorite short list of evidence that can’t be explained if vaccines don’t cause autism. Does anyone think I’m wrong and can explain the list?
Note that I only claim that vaccines are a major cause, not the sole cause. There are other things that contribute. But if we could change only one thing, eliminating use of all vaccines is the single best way to reduce the rate of autism in the US.
The list (in no particular order)
Here is a list of some of the most compelling evidence I’ve run across.
If there is a hypothesis that is a better fit to this evidence than vaccines cause autism, I’d love to hear it.
Lack of a single case where a child became “overnight autistic” before a vaccination appointment: Nobody has ever heard of a single kid who became “overnight autistic” (here’s an example of overnight autism) within 2 weeks before a vaccination appointment. All the “overnight autism” stories are all within 2 weeks after a vaccination appointment. I personally know of 23 such cases that happened within a 24 hour window post-vaccination and I didn’t have to look hard at all. Note that in general that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, but it is in this case. If there was such a story, someone would have heard it. So I called Mark Blaxill and JB Handley just to make sure I didn’t miss anything. They hadn’t heard of a single case like this either and they’ve been doing this for a heck of a lot longer than I have. Nobody has heard it because it doesn’t exist. Note that I also asked on Twitter for a counter-example, and nobody had one there either. Here’s yet another ask for exceptions. If vaccines weren’t causing overnight autism, the anecdotes of this happening pre-vaccine appointment would be as easy to find as the anecdotes of it happening post-vaccine appointment. Bottom line: If you are a critical thinker, you really don’t need anything more than this one point to prove causality. We’re done.
Madsen study: Even in this heavily flawed study, the raw data showed a strongly elevated risk of autism. So they never showed the raw data odds ratio (did you know that the rate of autism was 45% higher in the vaccinated group than the unvaccinated group?) and the paper only showed the adjusted numbers! That’s unethical. You can read the flaws in this study that was widely cited to prove that there was no association here. Over 1,000 scientists didn’t see anything wrong with the study! It’s really stunning how easily bad science propagates into the mainstream. Note that this is the single best study that is cited to prove that vaccines don’t cause autism and it is deeply flawed. The authors wouldn’t provide the underlying data and refused to answer any questions. Is that the way science works? There is also the Hviid 2019 study which was debunked by Brian Hooker here.
Wakefield 1998 paper:Wakefield’s retracted paper reported that “We investigated a consecutive series of children… Onset of behavioural symptoms was associated, by the parents, with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination in eight of the 12 children, with measles infection in one child, and otitis media in another.” So 66% of the cases were associated with the MMR vaccine.
The 2022 Morocco study: 70% of the 90 parents surveyed affirmed that the first autistic features appeared after vaccination with the MMR vaccine. The rates are nearly identical to the 66% rate in the Wakefield study.
DeStefano paper evidence destruction: CDC scientist William Thompson was ordered by his bosses at the CDC to destroy ONLY the evidence linking vaccines and autism. Furthermore, the race subgroup analysis showing the link was omitted from the paper which is also unethical. When Congressman Bill Posey tried to get Thompson to testify in Congress, they shut him down so there was no testimony. This coverup was what convinced Wakefield that he was right: vaccines cause autism. More about the DeStefano paper in this article.
Simpsonwood meeting: CDC scientist Thomas Verstraeten did a study in 1999 linking thimerosal with autism. They tried to make the autism signal go away. They couldn’t. The original signal was a RR=7.6 which is a huge signal. See my article for details and a link to the original Verstraeten study.
Paul Offit lied to RFK Jr. about thimerosal: RFK Jr told me the story personally, but now, it’s on the Joe Rogan podcast Episode #1999. Start listening at 23:00. The punchline is at 28:33. Basically, the ethylmercury in the thimerosal makes a beeline out of your blood and deposits into your brain (unlike the methylmercury in fish which has a harder time entering your brain so it stays in your blood longer). Offit tried to convince RFK that the mercury gets excreted by referring to a paper. When RFK brought up the Burbacher study, there was dead silence on the line because Offit knew he had been caught in a deception. In short, thimerosal can seriously damage people’s brains. Vaccines are not supposed to cross the BBB. This creates biological plausibility needed for causality.
The CDC study showing how the measles vaccine caused permanent brain damage
Of course, if the authors wrote that the vaccines killed these kids, they wouldn’t be able to get their paper published (that’s how “science” works). So you have to read between the lines that severe brain inflammation/damage might cause death. Do you think that might be reasonable?
So the CDC knew in 1998 that the measles vaccine was causing brain damage. But the paper said that the relationship “may exist.” Right. No other way to explain the data if it wasn’t causal.
We are asking you to join us in supporting Philip O’Keeffe, a dedicated activist and militant who has faced countless injustices and ongoing repression by the state, all due to his urgent pursuit of delivering tragic news to the family of fallen comrade Ş.Finbar Cafferkey (Çiya Demhat).
Upon reaching London Heathrow Airport, on the evening of April 22nd, his journey took an abrupt turn. Met with the wall of the London Metropolitan Counter Terror Police, he found himself confronted, detained, and subjected to an illegal process under the Schedule 7 Terrorism Act 2000, confiscating all of his electronics in the process.
It is evident that Philip’s involvement with the International Freedom Battalion/YPG and his activism made him a target, further amplifying the need for our collective support.
Philip’s refusal to surrender any information underlines his unwavering commitment to his principles, a testament to the honour and respect he carries for Finbar, fallen comrades, and all those resisting authoritarianism, capitalism, imperialism, and oppression.
Philip’s journey was a testament to the bond between comrades, the dedication to shared principles, and the unwavering commitment to delivering devastating news with compassion and respect.
As veterans of the YPG and the liberation of Raqqa, Argeş and Finbar had fought side by side, driven by a profound belief in social justice and the struggle against oppression.
Philip continued to work with the Kurdish Freedom Movement in the defense of Rojava in the campaigns to defend Efrîn in 2018, and Girî Spie, Serêkanîyê, and Tel Tamr in 2019 in addition to working in the communes of Qamişlo, organizing the supply and delivery of medical aid to hospitals across the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), supporting diplomatic efforts in the AANES and across Europe, supporting projects aimed at improving critical infrastructure and education and a number of other projects.
Philip, like all the comrades that had the fortune to spend time with Finbar, shared a deep connection, understanding, and love for Finbar’s unwavering commitment to his ideals.
The goal of his travelling was to spare the family from learning the news through media channels, imperialist state propaganda, unknown state authorities bearing empty messages of condolences or opportunistically and callously seeking intelligence, or worst yet through a depraved, vile social media post, ensuring they received the information from trusted comrades who cherished and valued Finbar’s memory.
We humbly ask you to contribute to the solidarity fundraiser, organized together with Solidarity Collectives, to assist Philip in his legal battle and help him seek justice against the British Government’s deliberate obstruction of his mission.

State decrees the dissolution of this organization with 110,000 affiliated people, after years of actions, demonstrations and sabotage
The Uprisings of the Earth – “Les Soulèvements de la Terre” (SdT), in French – is probably the most powerful and massive environmental movement of recent years in Europe. Its objectives are always environmental and against “harmful”, extractivist or agro-industry projects.
The State attempt to destroy StD comes in the context of the giant campaign against Macron and the Government, focused on Pension Cuts, and the new outbreak of rioting after the police murder of yet another innocent man.
In recent years, they have organized meetings and summits that have sometimes led to acts of sabotage by activists: against the Lafarge cement company, Monsanto’s GMO fields, hydraulic megabasins or road infrastructure such as highways and tunnels.
They operate from different fronts and combine all kinds of fighting methods. From the media, legal and institutional sphere, with campaigns, demands and denunciations, through summits, demonstrations and imaginative actions or also with direct actions and confrontation with the police.
The movement was created in 2021 and is made up of numerous environmental associations, from the rural and urban areas, trade unions, farms, students, scientists and individuals
A network with more than 110,000 members and 180 local committees that intervenes in public life, from horizontality and decentralization, considering that victories can be achieved at the local level.

A packed public meeting in Dublin city centre on Saturday listened to and applauded prominent people speaking against the Irish State becoming part of military alliances, whether PESCO1 (“NATO by stealth”2) or NATO itself.
The high-profile panel of speakers chaired by Irish MEP Clare Daly featured fellow MEP Mick Wallace, Sevim Dagdalen (MP Die Linke), Medea Benjamin (founder of Code Pink) and Anne Wright (ex-US Army Major and opponent of the US-Iraq War).
Celebrated anti-imperialist rapper Lowkey was also a speaker as was Yanis Varoufakis (ex-Syrza)3 who addressed the meeting by recorded video from abroad and applauded the Irish for their long resistance to colonialism and urged them to be proud of their state’s neutrality.

BACKGROUND
There is a constitutional impediment to the Irish state’s participating in a war partnership with another state and during WW2 the state’s official position was neutrality.
However, it was always a pro-Allied neutrality with British downed airmen allowed to cross over into UK territory and US servicemen often crossing the UK border to visit the ‘south’, while German downed airmen were interned for the duration of the War.
The impediment is not absolute and is usually referred to as the ‘Triple Lock’, listing the three conditions which would enable to government to send more than 12 troops overseas:
In recent years some politicians and public commentators have floated the idea that the Irish state could rejoin the British Commonwealth and, since the war in the Ukraine, a discourse has arisen that the State needs to join an external military alliance in order to protect itself from Russia.

The Irish Times/Ipsos poll in April, amid criticisms of not following best practice in its design and even accusations of trying to steer respondents towards favouring joining some external military alliance, delivered two thirds clearly against the Irish state doing any such thing.
Russophobic propaganda has speculated on the activities of Russian trawlers in the Irish Sea. This is entirely a whipped-up alarm and discussion without the slightest foundation in fact since Russia has never presented the slightest threat, militarily or politically, to the Irish people.
