With the countdown to our nation's 250th anniversary upon us, @Amer_Health_Rev, our non-profit, is releasing the song, "Still We Rise".
We think the song is amazing and captures the essence of the most important issues of our generation- many of the same issues we faced as we fought the American Revolution 250 years ago.
Indeed, it is a time to celebrate. We must also acknowledge the direction we are heading as a nation and take grassroots action- IF we want to survive.
We are confident you will love the song and want to share it with friends.
We would be very grateful if you did so. And if you are so inclined, the volunteer and donation information appears at the end.
Chorus:
"Still We Rise, from broken ground
We carry light where none is found
We are the Wide-Awake, The Non-Programmable, the Unexploitable.
We believe in Wellness Without Compromise.
American Health Revolution- Still We Rise."

Here is one of several short clips we will be presenting from RFK Jr.'s 2005 speech at UC Berkeley. We consider the core arguments raised in this address to be among the most critical of our generation, highlighting existential threats to our nation's health and institutions that have only worsened over the last twenty years.
American health has been tanking for decades. Why would you criticize the one man who is actually doing something about it? Might it be because the profiteers pay the NYT salaries and buy themselves a culture of venom against any real change? You appear to be not a journalist, but a minion for the medical industrial complex.
Having spent most of Friday at the Profound Autism Summit in Boston, I must say it was a 'profound' experience.
This annual event is rooted in the efforts of Judith Ursitti, CPA (pictured). Judith became immersed in autism advocacy in 2005 when her son Jack was diagnosed at age 2. Her life then took a major detour.
Since 2005, Judith has worked on the passage, implementation, and enforcement of autism insurance reform as part of the three-person team that passed legislation in all 50 states. She has advocated federally for the original 2006 passage and subsequent reauthorizations of the Autism CARES Act and appropriate enforcement of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act.
Incredible!
Also featured was Dr. Sylvia Fogel (also pictured), chair the IACC, whose brilliance, skills and compassion are simply unmatched. Here are some of the points from her talk:
Dr. Fogel believes a SYSTEMS BIOLOGY approach offers real hope in successfully treating autism. Diverse genetic and environmental causes often converge on a small set of core cellular systems (energy metabolism, stress response, calcium signaling), creating real hope for treatments that could benefit many individuals across the spectrum.
Autistic individuals—especially those with profound autism—experience significantly higher rates of seizures, GI disorders, sleep disorders, psychiatric illness, and immune dysfunction, contributing to shorter lifespans and unmet medical needs.
Despite billions spent on autism research, meaningful clinical translation—especially for severe medical and behavioral outcomes—has been minimal and must become a top priority.
Individuals with enduring, 24/7 support needs have historically been overlooked, and formal recognition at the policy level is essential to directing resources where they are most urgently needed. They do not outgrow their condition.
Caregivers experience high rates of depression, anxiety, medical illness, financial instability, and marital strain, yet their needs receive far too little direct attention in policy and practice.
Emergency rooms, psychiatric units, and crisis response systems are largely unprepared for profoundly autistic individuals, often worsening trauma rather than providing effective care. Families are forced into emergency rooms with no appropriate place to turn. However, ERs are not designed for profoundly autistic individuals.
The most meaningful way to reduce caregiver suffering is by preventing regression, reducing medical and behavioral crises, and developing effective treatments—not by placing the burden solely on family resilience.

As I said here recently, this is a true humanitarian crisis, with its epicenter here in the U.S. There are approximately 2 million profound autism cases today in America, which balloons to over 7 million family members affected. This is stunning. Families are clinging to any hope, any possible solution. We need better treatments, We need to find the root causes.
If a vaccine injures your child, you can't sue the company that made it. They have a special legal shield no one voted for. My End the Vaccine Carve Out Act changes that.
@Unkdoug@RealSLokhova Me too. But he is the President of the United States, subtly suggesting that murder is somehow justified.
Sorry, a bridge too far.
@marnjohn5456@RealSLokhova I do not live in that house. I am independent and I agree the Left does it also. The point is, it DOES cut both ways. Both sides are guilty and until we do the more difficult work of looking in the mirror there can be no healing.
@StandUpForFact What do you call it when a person looks within themselves and admits the lies they have been believing? That is the question. If you think this applies to one political side or the other I believe you are mistaken
