Secrets of Herbal Healing - Episode 57
In this urgent episode, Brett Elliott dives into a groundbreaking and deeply concerning announcement from the White House: a new link has been discovered between acetaminophen (also known as Tylenol and Paracetamol) and neurological developmental disorders in children, including Autism Spectrum Disorders.

This revelation is just the tip of the iceberg.

We’ll explore:

🚨 Studies linking acetaminophen to autism — why were they ignored for so long?

🔬 70% of published studies are now deemed "unrepeatable"

🧾 Publisher Wylie retracted over 11,300 papers in 2024, shutting down 19 journals for fraudulent, AI-generated, or compromised content

❌ The lack of true control groups in pharmaceutical research

💔 NSAIDs & heart disease — a 2017 BMJ meta-analysis revealed a 50% increased risk of heart attack. 
Link: https://www.bmj.com/content/357/bmj.j1909 

🏛️ The corporate capture of scientific publishing — is the truth still funded?

🌿 Herbal medicine's integrity — with over 5,000 studies per year and no Big Pharma sponsors, herbal research offers a transparent, time-tested alternative.
Link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7277765

This is not conspiracy. It’s documented corruption, and it’s time to ask:

Can we still trust the medical science we’re given?

Join me as we pull back the curtain and explore the spiritual, scientific, and social consequences of ignoring nature's healing tools in favor of corporate agendas.
