Exploring the Impact of Aluminum on Autism Spectrum Disorders
- (00:13-01:03) Dr. Ceero Coimbra, an experienced neurologist with training at institutions including the University of Miami and University of London, focuses on treating neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases, particularly investigating the rise in autism spectrum disorders.
- (01:03-03:21) Dr. Coimbra began treating autism in 2014 using high doses of vitamin D with positive results, but became concerned about the correlation between increasing autism rates (from 1:10,000 in 1970 to 1:22 in the US today and possibly 1:10 in Brazil) and rising vaccine schedules.
- (04:03-09:44) Using Bradford Hill criteria for establishing causation (including dose-response relationship), Dr. Coimbra identifies aluminum nanoparticles in vaccines as a potential mechanism behind the autism increase, noting similar trends globally.
- (10:32-16:07) Dr. Coimbra explains that injected aluminum nanoparticles behave differently than ingested aluminum: they cause inflammation, attract immune cells, and can cross the blood-brain barrier via the "Trojan horse mechanism," with research from Oxford University finding extraordinarily high levels of aluminum in brain tissue of individuals with autism.
- (16:45-22:02) He argues that calcium phosphate nanoparticles could be used instead of aluminum as vaccine adjuvants, pointing to evidence of chronic encephalitis in ASD (measurable through neuron-specific enolase) and brain-specific autoantibodies in autism patients.
- (22:38-28:07) Dr. Coimbra classifies ASD as an "autoimmune inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants," noting that per kg of body weight, aluminum exposure in infant vaccines is equivalent to 24 vaccines given in a single day to a 70kg adult, with vaccine doses increasing from 11 in 1983 to 88 in 2024.
- (29:33-35:36) His treatment protocol includes high-dose vitamin D and silica to eliminate aluminum from the body, with aluminum levels measured in blood and urine showing initial increase during detoxification before eventual reduction to undetectable levels.
- (35:36-44:50) Dr. Coimbra shares cases of young people with severe depression, self-harm, and suicidal tendencies who showed significant improvement after silica supplementation, suggesting that aluminum toxicity may be linked to the rise in mental health issues among youth.
- (44:50-49:40) He recommends silica supplementation (300mg twice daily for adults) as a safe intervention for at least one year to eliminate aluminum, describing it as an urgent public health need to address the "epidemic" of suicide, self-harm, and neurodevelopmental disorders.
