Director of Great Plains Laboratory, Dr. William Shaw's and his lab team revealed in a recent interview with Del Bigtree of The Highwire, that 60 to 70% of people with autism had overgrowth of Clostridia and Candida in their intestines, organisms that antibiotics leave behind while killing beneficial bacteria.

Treatment would clear the overgrowth and symptoms would improve, sometimes dramatically. Then treatment stopped, and the autism returned along with the Candida.

The question was why the body wasn't maintaining the clearance on its own.

A German study provided a striking piece of the answer: the measles vaccine was found to knock out children's immunity specifically to Candida, and only to Candida, leaving every other immune function intact.

The implications reach beyond autism. The same Clostridia and Candida pattern showed up across psychiatric diagnoses, and Dr. Shaw's lab documented complete reversal of severe schizophrenia using an antibiotic targeted at the bacterial overgrowth.” - The Highwire

Cochrane report was published in April 2026, which evaluated a class of drugs used for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (amyloid-beta-targeting monoclonal antibodies).

The conflict-free Cochrane report is a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials, so it is the best evidence to date on this topic. The report has concluded that drugs that target amyloid-beta proteins in the brain likely have no clinically meaningful positive effects for AD, while increasing the risk of bleeding and swelling in the brain.

Cochrane report found that based on their findings it was suggested that future research needs to move away from the amyloid-beta protein hypothesis and focus on other pathways.

According to medical researcher Dr Zoe Harcombe, the 2008 paper Alzheimer's disease is type 3 diabetes-evidence reviewed” and Dr Dale Bredesen et al research Sustained Cognitive Improvement in Alzheimer's Disease Patients Following a Precision Medicine Protocol: Case Series continues to provide the best evidence for not just alleviating but reversing the onset of this debilitating disease.


New compelling findings are expanding the current scientific understanding of the boundaries between human consciousness and the physical world.

Published in Explore, a peer-reviewed Elsevier journal, the paper – titled “Correlations between Onsite and Global Networks of Random Number Generators during Group Healing Meditations” – examines whether emotionally coherent group meditations can produce measurable effects beyond the human body.

Key Findings include:

  • During 15 group meditations over six months – with approximately 1,000–2,200 participants per meditation – random number generators (RNGs) demonstrated synchronization

  • Because RNG devices are engineered to behave by chance like a very sophisticated coin-toss – randomly producing 0's and 1's – their synchronized behavior during the group sessions – and only during those sessions – suggests that collective focus and emotional coherence generated by relatively small, highly coherent groups can measurably and positively influence the global consciousness field.

  • When results from all meditations were combined, the overall pattern resembled what’s known as “evoked potential” in neuroscience, suggesting the RNGs were responding to the energy generated by retreat participants during the Coherence Healing sessions.
