The Tylenol-Autism Connection: What the FDA Warnings Don't Tell You with Sarah Crawford
In this impromptu episode of The Longevity Formula, Dr. Brandon Crawford and his wife, Sarah Crawford, discuss the recent FDA warning linking acetaminophen (Tylenol) to autism and ADHD. They explain that this correlation is not new in holistic health and highlight Tylenol's mechanism of action and its well-documented side effect of glutathione depletion, a master antioxidant crucial for detoxification and protecting the brain and body from oxidative stress.
The conversation expands to other controversial topics, including how Tylenol use can compound vaccine-related risks by blunting immune and inflammatory responses, and the importance of circadian biology in boosting glutathione and supporting cellular health. The episode concludes with a data-driven analysis of a large birth cohort study, examining the prevalence of chronic diseases in vaccinated versus unvaccinated populations. This episode serves as a call to action for parents and providers to question the status quo, conduct due diligence, and prioritize a holistic, root-cause approach to health.
Key Takeaways
- The Tylenol-Glutathione Connection is Not New: The link between Tylenol and neurodevelopmental issues isn't new; studies from the 90s show Tylenol depletes glutathione, a vital antioxidant for detoxification and protecting the brain.
- Medicine Should Not Be Dogmatic: Physicians should stay updated with current research and always weigh the risks and benefits of treatments, even for common over-the-counter medications like Tylenol.
- Glutathione and Vaccine Safety: Using Tylenol after a vaccine can be counterproductive, as the resulting glutathione depletion may hinder the body's intended immune response.
- Holistic Health Starts with Foundational Habits: The best way to support your body's health and natural glutathione production is through foundational habits like good sleep and proper sun exposure, not just with supplements.
- A Broader Look at Chronic Disease: A study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children showed significant health outcome differences, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive and open analysis of public health data.

Voice Over: Welcome to the Longevity Formula with Dr. Brandon Crawford. Let's explore the new era of wellness.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Hey everyone. Welcome to the Longevity Formula. Today is kind of interesting because this is, this is an impromptu episode that we're going to record, so, I'm actually sitting here in my home with my wife Sarah.
and today is one of those days where I'm catching up on several different business things. So I'm in between meetings and you know, Sarah's over here working on her things, right? So she acts as our chief of operations for all the different businesses that we run. And so she's over here working. I'm over here working, and we just start talking about the recent events that transpired in regards to the announcement with Tylenol or acetaminophen and its correlation with autism and neurobehavioral disorders or neurodevelopmental disorders. And one thing led to another and Sarah pops up and she says, let's record this. We've gotta, we've gotta talk about this on camera, 'cause there's so many things you know, that have not been said.
So many things that have been said that are kind of ludicrous that don't really make a lot of sense. And so let's just kinda, you know, Wade through this. So first of all, thanks for joining us. Mm-hmm. I appreciate your time. So let's first start with a bit of a summary, just so that we're all on the same page as far as what, you know, what has recently transpired.
So yesterday the FDA announced it will update acetaminophen or Tylenol labels to warn that prenatal use may be associated with higher rates of autism and ADHD. Large observational studies have shown links, but sibling and other controlled studies have not confirmed causation. Experts emphasize that the overall risk increase is small and confounded by factors like fever or infection, the very reasons people may actually take Tylenol.
The FDA's current guidance is for pregnant women to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration possible. At the same time, health agencies like the EMA and WHO maintain that acetaminophen remains safe, when used appropriately, because untreated fever itself can endanger pregnancy. The bottom line is that this is a developing story.
The science is so inconclusive and more rigorous research is needed. And I thought it was also funny that didn't Tylenol do a post last night that said something like,
Sarah Crawford: no, it wasn't last night. It was in 2017.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: It was 2017.
Sarah Crawford: Yeah. But it was like, we don't recommend that pregnant women use any of our products.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Interesting. Okay. So, but
Sarah Crawford: then they came back and there's been other things said, but still, like it said,
Dr. Brandon Crawford: so I guess the, to kind of, I don't know where you wanna start, but the place I was kind of thinking about starting is, this is not exactly new news.
Sarah Crawford: No, it's not. We've never had Tylenol in our house.
I've, we've never given it to our children. We've, you've always told me it's not great, depletes glutathione . Let's not take it. And actually, you know, the biggest reason why we haven't taken this, are you aware that the mechanism of Tylenol Acetaminophin is unknown?
Dr. Brandon Crawford: It's not fully elucidated, right?
Sarah Crawford: It's been theorized, I mean, I'm looking at a TUF study right now, like it's widely known that no one knows the full mechanism of action for Tylenol.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: So, just to kind of give a little background into that. So in the functional medicine communities it's always been, you know, kind of a, a discussion of if we're going to be recommending something, whether it's a medication or even over the counter medication or supplement or herb or something like this, we need to first investigate the mechanism of action.
What exactly is going on in the body? How are you metabolizing this substance? And that lets the provider know what areas of the body are, or metabolism or physiology is being stressed when you take the substance, right? And so when you look at acetaminophen, it's largely unknown. We do know, right? And there's several studies that tell us when you take acetaminophen, it does actually deplete glutathione levels.
This again, this is not new.
Sarah Crawford: Well, how many comments have you had back up your claim? Back up your claim? There are a ton of studies to talk about. There's several. Yes. The glutathione depletion when you use acetaminophen and even in small dosages.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: So So knowing that, and knowing that glutathione is vitally important for us to have in our system, to protect our brain, to protect our body from oxidative stress of any type, right? This is going to help prevent autoimmune disease and autoimmunity. This is going to help prevent and help us navigate life as healthy as possible. It's also going to help us detox our systems, right? So it helps us get out all the junk, right? So if you have impairment in glutathione. You're setting yourself up to have any type of, you know, health problem, essentially. And so that's why, you know, we've always on my recommendation, what we've always done as a family is we, we've never actually used acetaminophen or Tylenol right?
Now there's the flip side of this is, well, what about non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, such as ibuprofen, right? Mm-hmm. And so in my functional neurology early years, I actually looked at and, and studied a lot of Dr. Russell Blaylock's research. Dr. Russell Blaylock was a neurosurgeon. And he actually would comment about the use of ibuprofen and he specifically was talking about how this can downregulate the glial system. So your microglial cells, right? So the resident immune cells in the brain. So if you did have some kind of insult or trauma or you know, neuroinflammatory event or something like that, he would,
Sarah Crawford: Which happens with fever or head injury.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Head injury, stuff like this.
You know, he would argue, and he wasn't necessarily suggesting it, but he was saying, you know, perhaps the use of something like ibuprofen could be beneficial for some of these patients, side note, there's also research that shows if you use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories for mild to moderate head injury, it can prolong effects from the head injury.
So I'm not saying use it, I'm just saying that if there were instances where we had to use one of these things, it's always been ibuprofen. I don't know where I was going with that, but,
Sarah Crawford: but I mean, it happens when your kid has 105 degree fever that ramps up the middle of the night. There have been times when that's happened in our house and Right.
It's not wonderful. And your kid is not sleeping and they're not resting in. Half a dose of Advil has popped it down to be a hundred, 102, and the kid rests and is able to eat.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: And I think, you know, we should kind of expand on that just a little bit because yes, we are, we try to be as holistic as possible.
But we do that within the confines of using medicine when needed and when it makes sense. Mm-hmm. We are not dogmatic in any stance. We will not dig our heels in the ground and say we do not use medication. Period. No, it's always a discussion of risk versus benefit. So that's, that's kind of our stance here, right?
Yeah. When
Sarah Crawford: we're not anti antibiotics, right? When a kid has an abcess tooth that he had get an antibiotic,
Dr. Brandon Crawford: right. So while we both acknowledge that fevers in and of themselves can be healing. I also have had patients where a fever did trigger, like one patient that comes to mind specifically, it was a little baby, and it was actually a chiro colleague.
Their baby let their fever run, let it go, go, go, and then all of a sudden they, it triggered some massive seizures, which then, you know, turned into an Encephalitic syndrome and you develop brain injury. So that always kind of lingered with me. Now, I would argue, you know, at this stage in my career, there were other compounding factors at play that they did not know about, et cetera.
Again, we try to be as holistic as possible, but we navigate, you know, best we can with common sense and with science and data behind us.
Sarah Crawford: Correct.
Well, I mean, I think it's important just to note, just to answer the question, I mean, here's a study from 2005 talking about acetaminophen, decreasing glutathione levels.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: And modulating cytokines. Yeah. My,
Sarah Crawford: yeah. Cytokines isn't a word. We've heard a lot from COVID vaccine. And COVID getting COVID naturally. Yeah. We'll circle back to that. There's a 1993 study. This is not new news. This all came out before we even had children, right?
The depletion was 53% in the macrophages. I don't know these words. Yeah. And 34% in the pneumocytes. And this is talking more on, it's a rat study, but it's still important to note, like this is not new things.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: That's, that is a good study. Yeah, absolutely. From 93. Yep. Absolutely.
Sarah Crawford: Here's a study, well, I don't have this stick in date
Dr. Brandon Crawford: on dose dependent pharmacokinetics is acetaminophen evidence of glutathione depletion in humans.
Again. Yes. A well cited, well, well done study there. Again, this is not new news.
Sarah Crawford: No. It's very simple. You go on Google and you search acetaminophen and glutathione and these tests are gonna, these research are gonna pop up.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Right. You can go to google.com/scholar. And you can use Google Scholar to actually start to really dig into this.
Sarah Crawford: And these are not holistic juju studies. These are done by
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Yeah. These are reputable journals,
Sarah Crawford: reputable journals.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Absolutely.
Sarah Crawford: So nothing's new. We've known about this and I saw a doctor in OB the other day and she wrote, it was like yesterday, she was commenting like, why didn't we know this? Why aren't we taught this?
But also it's important that your doctor is continuing to research.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Yeah.
Sarah Crawford: Just because what you learned in medical school or what you learned in chiropractic school. I know you changed. You change regularly, right?
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Oh yeah, absolutely.
Sarah Crawford: Like you have to say up to date with the research, you have to say up to date with what's happening.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: A good physician is never going to be okay with the status quo. And we have to understand that what we learn in our, whether it's medical training, do training, chiro training, PT training, NP train, whatever your training is, neurosurgeon, training neurosurgeon. Yeah, exactly. No matter what, it's a good amount of that information is actually antiquated.
While you're going through your training while you're going through your academic career, and if you're going to stay on the leading edge, you actually have to do that yourself. Like you actually have to read current research, including case reports, including white papers, and not only that, but also collaborate with like-minded and non like-minded colleagues, right?
Reach across the aisle, right? That I actually do this. I'll talk to people with opposing views because I wanna know, am I right or wrong? And so you should always be sharpening your mind. Do I or do I not read research almost every single day?
Sarah Crawford: Yeah. Well, at nighttime it is like, what are you reading?
And it's words I can't pronounce, but I'm like, Ugh. It's comforting. It's comforting to know that I have this nerd in my bed who is constantly reading research, and you have to do that. Like if you're a physician and you're treating patients, you have to stay up to date with the research.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: You do. And so what I would say to these providers that are saying, why didn't anyone tell us this?
Shame on you.
Sarah Crawford: Mm-hmm.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Shame on you for not doing your own due diligence, maintaining your own oath, right to do no harm, because the information is there. And if this is something, if you are regularly recommending acetaminophen to your pregnant patients or to your children upon receiving vaccines, which we can talk about that do your diligence and think, man, if I'm recommending this, is this really the best thing to recommend?
Is there something else should I be recommending? You know, if they're, if they have pain. Well, what's wrong with recommending chiropractic care or PT or massage or acupuncture or, I mean,
Sarah Crawford: or a hot bath,
Dr. Brandon Crawford: right? Or, or, I mean, look, there's, even Dr. Sarno wrote a whole book and has a whole, you know, I guess you can call it a theory behind how emotional traumas actually caused back pain and things like that. There's multiple avenues to explore for pain, and pain while pregnant.
Sarah Crawford: Yeah.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Okay, then let's talk about fever.
Sarah Crawford: Yeah.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Okay, because I was actually interviewed on the news and the, the, you know, person interviewing me, she kind of wouldn't stop. She was like, well, what about if a pregnant lady has a fever? What are you gonna do?
Okay.
Sarah Crawford: Well, I also think it's pretty silly. Like your body has, does it not, does it have mechanisms in it when you're pregnant? I think when I was pregnant, I was the healthiest I've ever been in my life. Is that how normal pregnancies go?
Dr. Brandon Crawford: It kind of depends. I mean, it, it, it that is highly variable.
Sarah Crawford: Okay.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: For some people, let's say it's autoimmune based, typically you'll see a downtrend in the autoimmunity while pregnant and you actually see these periods where autoimmune markers fall off. For some people, however, pregnancy can trigger. Some type of emotional trauma, et cetera, and those people may actually have a flare up of symptoms.
So it's a very personalized experience based on their limbic system, their past history. Okay. Their all the things, right?
Sarah Crawford: So there's pregnant women who are just, well, I mean, one of it you just hurt. But no amount of Tylenol or Advil or anything's gonna get the baby off your CUA bone when you're nine months pregnant.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Well, let's just talk about the physical mechanisms of why you hurt, right? You don't hurt because you have an acetaminophen deficiency. I think that's obvious, but what if you hurt because your pelvis is not moving correctly because of the added load from the baby and the amniotic fluid and all the things. That's a great case for chiropractic care.
Sarah Crawford: Well, and I'm pretty sure chiropractic care is kind of widely recommended when you're pregnant.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: I hope so.
Sarah Crawford: Maybe it's not, I wouldn't understand why not.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: I mean, obviously you want to see someone that is properly trained and comfortable treating pregnant women and all of these things, but that's relatively easy to find.
But let's say that you're just staunchly opposed to chiropractic, there's physical therapists that specialize in pregnancy care. There's massage therapists that specialize in pregnancy care. Acupuncture was actually really good for you. Mm-hmm. I mean, you did acupuncture when you were pregnant and, and got relief as well.
So I mean, there's, there's approaches that are better and safer than taking acetaminophen and do not carry a risk or correlation with autism or neurobehavioral disorders or other chronic diseases. So why not turn to that before turning to acetaminophen or something else? Anyway, okay.
So what do you wanna touch on next? Where do we wanna go?
Sarah Crawford: Well, I mean, I think, you know, in our, in social, on social media, but I've seen of course as parents being like, why aren't they talking about the vaccines? Why aren't they talking about the vaccines? Well, Trump did talk a lot about
the vaccines,
Dr. Brandon Crawford: so let's, okay, let's go there next.
Because if you, if you listen to the, the full. Announcement. Donald Trump did come on and he was trying to get a message across and I, it it appeared as though he was off script.
Sarah Crawford: Yeah.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Which, I don't know, maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. But it, it appeared.
Sarah Crawford: But it was a bit of a tangent.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: It was a bit of a tangent.
It appeared that he was off script, but I, I personally, this is, this is me talking.
I personally think that, no matter what your opinion is about, about Trump, when he speaks, there's a purpose. Like he had something he was trying to communicate, right? He's not one to just get up and, and just say, well, I won't go there. So he started in on the vaccine discussion and his discussion really revolved around Break it up, break it up, break it up.
Don't take all of these shots together. Like he was really messaging a, a caution. In regards to vaccine use. To me, it seemed as though he was really trying to portray that he was concerned with the amount of vaccines that babies are receiving today, but it seemed like he was somewhat restricted and what he could really say does, does.
Does that sound
Sarah Crawford: Yeah, of course.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Yeah.
Sarah Crawford: As anybody feels the need to be restricted of what we say about vaccines. It's a hard place to just come out and talk about.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: It really is.
Sarah Crawford: Yep.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: And you know, I think there's a few people in the market doing a good job with that. I think Dr. Joel Gator is doing a fantastic job.
Mm-hmm. Highly recommend this book between a shot and a hard place. I've got several copies in my office. I've got one on my Kindle, so, you know, I want my patients to have access to it. But he does do a good job of really just going through the facts right, and talking about this because while I'm.
Vaccines directly cause autism. I think that, again, it's one of many factors that need to be included in the discussion. Just like this whole concept with acetaminophen. It's one data point, it's one factor that needs to be included in this discussion.
Sarah Crawford: How do they play together? How would Tylenol usage while you're pregnant?
Or Ty, oh no they weren't talking about it in children, but let's talk about it.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: No, they did. They, they included the discussion was, did actually include, because a lot of times what'll happen is they'll recommend give acetaminophen or give Tylenol when you get a vaccine to reduce pain and inflammation.
Sarah Crawford: Right? So, so we know, it's fact, that Tylenol can reduce your glutathione stores. What role, what is the importance, you've talked about the importance of glutathione in a normal individual, but why is glutathione so important when you're also getting vaccinations?
Dr. Brandon Crawford: So when you're getting a vaccine. So let's talk about what a vaccine is.
A vaccine is designed to stimulate the immune response, and you cannot separate immune from inflammatory response, right? These are one in the same systems. So a, a vaccine by design is there to actually stimulate an immune response. Now, here's the problem. For some people, they're called low responders, you're gonna get a minimal response.
For some people, you're going to get an adequate, what they call adequate response. And then for others, you're gonna get an exaggerated response or a hyper reactive response. And so you have your low, middle, and high responders, right? And so the problem here is that for those people that maybe the immune system, the immune inflammatory systems are overactivated, they need things like glutathione to protect.
From that overactivation of the immune and inflammatory response. Mm-hmm. And so if we deplete it, we just lost some of the ability to protect us from this overactivation of the immune inflammatory response. So that's in a nutshell why this is correlative, why this is not. A good idea to take acetaminophen in combination with vaccines for kiddos, but also, you know why you don't wanna deplete it in mom.
Well, and it's, I mean, it's, it talks about low glutathione, can blunt, proper immune training, possibly altering both natural infection recovery and vaccine response.
True. Yeah, absolutely. So, so does that mean
like your body may not be able to fully absorb the vaccine? The thought is the vaccine, you're antibody absorption,
so you're losing the ability, you're blunting the ability for that vaccine to create the supposed antibody response that gives you longer term immunity from whatever you're being vaccinated against.
Got it. Yeah. Yeah. Interesting.
It is interesting and definitely a discussion that, you know, needs to be furthered, right? Yeah. Why aren't we really going into this? Let's also, lemme pull something up because there was an interesting study.
Oh, well, also how we talked about like, glutathione in pediatric patients.
Okay. So the question is. Should we be taking glutathione? Okay. My preference. You, so the response is going to be dependent upon the provider that you're working with in this regard? Correct. Because some evidence is going to say, yes, take glutathione. Other providers you wanted to say, I'd rather you be able to make your own glutathione
Sarah Crawford: like N-AC
Dr. Brandon Crawford: You can take n-acetylcysteine, you can take various, you know, other precursors that that's gonna help with glutathione production. I, first and foremost, let's just acknowledge that if your body makes something, it's always going to be better if you can make that yourself because your body. Is going to know how much of it is needed.
It's going to know when to use it. It's going to know when to upregulate it, downregulate it, et cetera. Everything is going to be subjected to what's called a hormetic curve. Mm-hmm. So there's always going to be a low dose, a just right dose. And a dose is too much. That, that's for everything.
That's for water, that's for oxygen, that's for everything. If you get too much of something, it, it can carry some negative effects, right? And so that's why, you know, IV glutathione makes me feel amazing, but that's probably because I'm stressed out, I'm tired, I've got autoimmune issues, et cetera. So my glutathione levels are typically on the low end.
So if I do a IV glutathione. I feel freaking amazing, but I'm not gonna do it every day because it's gonna be too much and it can cause harm.
Sarah Crawford: But if someone who has proper glutathione, can you test for that? Can you test your body? Is there a blood test to see if you have proper glutathione?
Dr. Brandon Crawford: You can, you can, you can measure glutathione levels.
You can also conclude if someone can properly make glutathione. You can measure their oxidative stress markers and draw conclusions. There's markers on on the the urine test, which is. The oats test that you can do to, to draw conclusions about oxidative stress status and glutathione levels.
So yes, you can indirectly, mostly indirectly and sometimes directly measure glutathione levels. Okay. Yeah. What else you wanna talk about that?
Sarah Crawford: Well, I just, other ways that people can increase their glutathione, knowing that we're, you know, all coming in contact with things that are possibly completing it.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Okay, so let's, let's go back to how we are designed to live, right? Because I think we have to start there before we talk about, you know, taking supplements or medication or anything like this.
Sarah Crawford: Yeah. What can we do? Is does sunlight help? Does sleep help?
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Sunlight absolutely helps. And I think the first thing to really talk about here is circadian biology.
Mm-hmm. If we are designed to. Be up and awake with the sun, be asleep when the sun sets to eat, when the sun is up to not eat, when the sun is down, to not be blasting our retinas when the sun is down with light, et cetera. Like there is a definite circadian rhythm that we are supposed to be living in, and this is going to affect everything this is going to affect.
Our hormones, our cortisol, our blood sugar, our inflammatory markers, our glutathione levels all of the things, right? So we have to do some base level things first to really give our bodies the best chance possible to actually regulate and to produce the neurochemist neurochemicals and all the physiological things that it's supposed to be doing on a regular basis.
So what does that mean? That means observing the sunrise. This is the most important time of day to be outside to see the sunrise. It's the purest form of red light. This actually gets the TCA cycle spinning in the right direction so that the Krebs cycle can actually produce cellular energy. So all you people doing the carnivore diet and the high protein diets and all this kind of stuff that doesn't really effectively work if you're TCA cycle is not actually spinning to make all of this stuff actually work for us.
And so even your diet is dictated. The effectiveness of your diet is actually dictated on your circadian rhythm as well. So this is everything, right? And then being outside at solar noon, whenever the sun is at its peak, this is where you have longer wavelengths. The far infrared spectrum is a little higher here.
You get a deeper penetration. It's phenomenal for gut microbiome to be outside, get your belly exposed, et cetera, which by the way, you should do when you're pregnant as well, because a developing baby needs to be exposed. Two sunlight as well, right there. Just think about it as that belly is growing and expanding.
And the skin is thinning. It's actually increasing the ability for light to penetrate into the womb. I think there's a reason for this. And then also observing the sunset being outside because again, this is a dramatically different wavelength of light, combination of wavelengths, of light, helping you prepare for bed downregulate the systems, et cetera.
Sarah Crawford: When you feel that, yeah, like you feel. There are people who really mean, most people, like it's a beautiful thing to get to experience the sunrise.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Yeah.
Sarah Crawford: It is a calming and beautiful thing when you watch the sunset. Mm-hmm. It's like we were meant to observe that. Mm-hmm. Every day and not be in our house.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Absolutely.
Sarah Crawford: Yeah. Well, even the research says like out I wasn't done. I'm sorry. Okay,
Dr. Brandon Crawford: then, but because too much. Well, because here's the most important thing because I think this is where most people fail after the sun is down, most people. Maybe they did, sorry, I've got allergies. Maybe they did all the things right?
They observed the sunrise. They were outside midday. They observed the sunset. But then they go inside and they turn on the tv or they get on the computer, or they get on their phone or their iPad or whatever, and they're blasting their retinas in their body with a very high frequency white and blue light, which is not supposed to be present at that time of day.
This alters circadian biology. This alters circadian clock genes. And this actually raises blood sugar. This depletes glutathione levels because it's having to kick in to protect yourself. This promotes autoimmunity this spikes blood sugar. This sets so many different things in motion that are not good.
And when I was talking to a news reporter and she has, how do you support glutathione levels? And I told her this, her eyes glazed over like, what's this guy talking about? Because no one else is really talking about it. Now, are there other things to consider? Sleep cycles, sleep efficiency. Absolutely. You were talking about vitamin D.
Absolutely. Maintaining adequate vitamin D stores.
Sarah Crawford: Glutathione synthesis happens mainly at nighttime.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Absolutely. So if you're
Sarah Crawford: not sleeping, then you're not getting that.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Yep.
Sarah Crawford: It's important.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: It's very important.
Sarah Crawford: So light and night.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Yep. Absolutely. So very important. So yes. Are there other things you could do, other supplement considerations?
Can you take glutathione directly? You can. I, I would just say I would, I would feel more comfortable saying, work with your provider that actually knows you and your situation than giving a blanket statement here, because there's so many different ways to navigate. The need for glutathione support for each individual.
Mm-hmm. Sometimes we give 'em glutathione, sometimes we support their detox systems. Sometimes we go, you really need some vagus nerve stimulus and we need to actually turn the neurophysiology on, right?
Sarah Crawford: Mm-hmm.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Sometimes you actually need a neurological stimulus and, and you need to create neuroplasticity so that these systems actually work.
Sarah Crawford: And then there's. There's precursors to glutathione, is it? Is melatonin, a precursor to glutathione production?
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Melatonin, it's gonna be produced in the mitochondria. Melatonin also helps protect the mitochondria similar to glutathione. Okay. So it's going to be doing similar things.
Obviously very different things as well.
Sarah Crawford: Not saying we should give your kids glut. I mean, give your kids melatonin's like dose,
Dr. Brandon Crawford: thinking about, if you take larger doses of melatonin, you can actually generate the entire cascade of glutathione. So this whole cascade of events that needs to take place in order to produce glutathione you can do that. I always advise, I, my preference is not to do it orally, but to actually do it topically or via suppository if we're getting into those higher doses.
Above five milligrams. Obviously lower mm-hmm. In kids. So that, I think that's what you're thinking about there. So yeah, taking melatonin can lead to glutathione production.
Sarah Crawford: Okay. Anything else you wanna unwrap?
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Well, you know, you got me thinking because there was a study that came out and no one's talked about it and.
The title of it is The Impact of Childhood Vaccination on Short and Long-Term Chronic Health Outcomes in Children. This was a birth cohort study and it was really interesting, right? So this was it looked at 18,468 children from 2000 to 2016. It looked at vaccinated versus unvaccinated.
Populations,
Sarah Crawford: why didn't they ask more of us unvaccinated to participate in the study?
Dr. Brandon Crawford: I don't know. So yeah, Sarah's saying there's a, you know, looking at the numbers, 16,511 were vaccinated, and then 1,957 were unvaccinated. So, yeah, I would've liked to see more in the unvaccinated cohort as well.
I think that would've added. Benefit for sure. But, but that being said, this is still a rather large study.
Sarah Crawford: Mm-hmm.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: And it's, it's still good data and I would argue it's, in my opinion, it is better data than, you know, this discussion around Tylenol. Yeah. Because now you're actually looking at.
A completely, you know, two, two opposing cohorts. And you're looking at things like any chronic health conditions, asthma, atopic disease, autoimmune disease, neurodevelopmental disorders, mental health disorder, cancer, food allergy. And looking at is there a difference in the prevalence.
And the vaccinated versus unvaccinated populations. So, the answer is yes. There's actually a huge difference here. So when you look at the numbers, you have any chronic health condition in the vaccinated population, you had 273 point 277.3, and the unvaccinated 111.7. That's. In the unvaccinated favor.
Mm-hmm. Asthma 1 45 0.6 versus 35.6. Again, that's,
Sarah Crawford: that's probably the largest one.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: A big discrepancy in the unvaccinated favor. Atopic disease. So this is like skin disorders? Like ex eczema. Yeah. 41.2 versus 15 point 0.6 again in the unvaccinated favor. Autoimmune disease. 8.4 versus 1.4.
Unvaccinated favor neurodevelopmental disorders, 50.2 versus 8.2.
Sarah Crawford: That's huge. Why aren't we looking at
Dr. Brandon Crawford: this unvaccinated favor, right? Mental health disorder, 15.9 4.5. Cancer seven. 8.8. So there's. Negligible. That's the only one that kind of tipped in the vaccinated favor there, which is interesting. Yeah,
Sarah Crawford: that's very interesting.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Food allergy 24.3 and 20.5. So relatively even there. Yeah. So what is, you know, why aren't we really looking at this? What do you think? I
Sarah Crawford: have no idea why we're not looking at it. I think they are looking at it like, I think that there is a huge importance to some of the things that have been said.
Giving parents more choice, not pressuring them into vaccinating what do they say where there's a risk? There has to be like choice. Mm-hmm. If there is risk, it's noted. It's in the vaccine inserts, it's in the study.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: I don't know that they're, I mean, I think some providers are doing a good job of giving choice and, and respecting it, but I mean, we had a patient in, you know, not that long ago that literally described how they were coerced into getting vaccines for their kid.
They literally, and I'm not exaggerating they were not, they were not saying they were unwilling to vaccinate their kid. They were simply questioning and they were wanting to delay. And they had concerns and their doctor basically told them that, number one, they were not gonna be a patient there anymore if they did not vaccinate.
And then they had other physicians come in and tell them how their kid was going to get disease and potentially die and all these things, and coerce them into vaccinating their kid and then their kid regressed and developed. What appears to be autism, right? Nonverbal, severe autism. And that
Sarah Crawford: happens time and time and time again.
I hear it a lot and we can't, and it's just, it's a statistic until it happens to your family. Exactly. Or until it happens to one of your patients.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Yeah.
Sarah Crawford: Like, and it's heartbreaking, thankfully, it's a low risk.
But
Dr. Brandon Crawford: look at this other notable findings, the 10 year probability of remaining free of a chronic health condition.
So meaning. Over the next 10 years, this is the probability that the cohort will not develop a chronic health condition. Vaccinated group, 43% unvaccinated group, 83%. So
Sarah Crawford: they're almost twice as likely to have to not have a health issue. Chronic, yeah. It's interesting,
Dr. Brandon Crawford: and again, that's coming out from a, from the study that was published.
Sarah Crawford: Well, I also think that, you know, we go back to talking about making sure that you're, you're seeing a doctor that's read up on the most recent research. Well, is your doctor even right up on the vaccine safety insert of the vaccine they're about to inject with you. No, that was something that I saw. I was shocked, like there are times of different vaccines you should not receive.
If your kid has a high fever, if your kid had ear infection, if your kid has even a low grade fever, how many times have we heard of people who go to the doctor, my kid is sick, they have strep throat, or they have a virus, but their doctor's like, well, you're a eFax. He's next week. Let's just go ahead and get them done.
Is that concerning?
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Of course, it's concerning. The manufacturers themselves are telling, you are telling the doctors. If you are sick, if you've had recent seizure. Mm-hmm. If you've had a brain injury, if you have encephalitis, if you, I mean, I'm not, I don't know. Do you have a list of all these things? I mean, no, I'm just going off from what I know.
Sarah Crawford: I was reading some stuff that was pretty interesting, like the Rotavirus vaccine. I know we've had patients that have had interception. Yeah. Or like GI mal. Mm-hmm. I wonder if their doctors have talked to them about the rotavirus vaccine. Or there's things in here that say like, if you've received, say, let me find this one.
It was really interesting, like if your kid has received a vaccine, was it the T dap? T dap? Yeah. So like say you get a form of vaccine and your kid has a slight reaction that you think has a reaction, right? Mm-hmm. Maybe it was like they were uber, uber fussy afterwards, or we've had patients come in that our kids stopped.
Was dragging their feet not able to walk for a couple days. We did, we
Dr. Brandon Crawford: had a paralysis following vaccine one time or had
Sarah Crawford: a, something that looked like a movement disorder, like a doesn't, is that a seizure? Like, Hey doctor, the day after my kid got this vaccine, this is what happened. And the doctor says, oh, that's nothing.
Don't worry about it. But the vaccine inserts actually say if your kid had X, Y, Z or had a a, a weird immune response to this. Then we should pause, take time, look into that or not do the vaccine ever again. It is your doctor listening to you. Are they taking you seriously? And I know that you as a parent, like, I mean you as a physician, who do you listen to?
Dr. Brandon Crawford: The mom.
Sarah Crawford: Who do you never silence
Dr. Brandon Crawford: the mom
Sarah Crawford: because we are so connected to our kids, like you have to listen to us. Yep. Like that gut feeling you feel in your heart. Sometimes you have to listen to that. You should listen to that. Always. It's in as innate as we are. Humans. Absolutely.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Even if it's a concern, even if it's like, Hey, look, I'm not saying I don't wanna do the vaccine.
I'm just saying that last time we may have saw, seen a response and we're a little concerned about it. Like, that should be investigated. Yeah. Yeah. Like you can even tell for some of the adjuvants. Vaccines like formaldehyde, you can actually do panels to see if you're reactive to formaldehyde and other heavy metals and, and chemicals.
Sarah Crawford: Yeah, so the I PV vaccine, the inactivate polio do not give, if there's hyper to components, including words I can't say, but including formaldehyde.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Ne Mycin, which his antibiotic streptomycin. Yeah. Poly makes him d
Sarah Crawford: and this was super interesting to us because our son Nolan, almost 15 years old, we did blood work on him a while back.
Over the last two years, his formaldehyde has been in the red correct signaling to us, and his body isn't coming in contact with any crazy muscle formaldehyde, but he's not detoxing the way he's supposed to. So what would've happened to him if we would've given him?
Dr. Brandon Crawford: I don't know these vaccines, I don't think it would've been good.
But why are we
Sarah Crawford: testing? If you're gonna give a vaccine to a kid that has these risks and says, do not give, if you have issues with this, do not give. If you have issues with this, you can test for those things.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: A lot of these things you can test for. So why not try to make it safer? Why not say, Hey, look, the manufacturers themselves are saying if you have a sensitivity or any issues with these components, do not give the vaccine yet.
We're not investigating. Do my kids actually have issues to these things?
Sarah Crawford: Mm-hmm.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: It's, it's very conflicting,
Sarah Crawford: right?
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Yeah.
Sarah Crawford: One that so many of the vaccines like the, the DTaP do not give, if they have a progress progressive neurologic disorder, including infantile spasms, uncontrolled epilepsy, progressive encephalopathy.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Until stabilized. Until stabilized. How many our
Sarah Crawford: patients, their doctor completely disregards what's in the backseat insert.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Yeah, absolutely. And pushes them and es them and pushes sometimes actually adds additional ones saying we need to do more.
Sarah Crawford: Yep.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Yeah.
Sarah Crawford: So you can wrap that up. But it
Dr. Brandon Crawford: just seems, seems a little irresponsible to me multifaceted.
Sarah Crawford: It's not just
Dr. Brandon Crawford: the right, and, and I guess we should say, just reiterate, we're not being dogmatic. We're not saying no vaccines ever, ever, ever. I'm just saying. The concept, the idea of them is good. Let's not get sick and let's prevent disease and let's do all these things. But there's so many questions unanswered.
But there's also data actually given out by the, the manufacturers themselves. And now we have the research that we went through comparing vaccinated unvaccinated. So we have to start to question, are we really achieving what we're trying to achieve? Like, is it really true that all these diseases really plummeted once we started to vaccinate?
We haven't touched on that. Hmm. You know, when you look at the vaccines back in the day, right?
Sarah Crawford: Once, how many times do we hear, I call 'em boomers on social media. There's no way kids can go to school to have vaccines. I was vaccinated with every single vaccine, like the 1964 vaccine. Was it like six shots?
Dr. Brandon Crawford: There wasn't much like
Sarah Crawford: six in 19. I was born 87, so I would've received 12. 12 total vaccines. A 2019 kid is 54. Yeah. Like, are we not looking at the vaccine schedule at all? Are we not looking at the amount of things we injected to our kids? Correct. And I think some of that hidden, because you have the MMR vaccine one shot, you have the they group together, so many different things.
True. DTaP.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: MM R et cetera. Yeah. But then something that's not really being discussed is they say, well, you know, we started vaccinating and then we had a, a, you know, dramatic decrease in disease and whatnot. But if you actually scale out and you look at the bigger picture, these diseases were on the very rapid decline due to.
Sanitation and nutrition.
Sarah Crawford: Yep.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: So that made a huge change. And I would argue, you know, improvements in, in proper medical care as well. Yep. And there were other things of antibiotics, you know, you had what was it, Dr. Samis that was ridiculed when he said. We should wash our hands before delivering babies.
I mean, people are like, you're an idiot. Why would you ever do that? Why? You know, why do you need to wash your hands? And now it's like, duh, you gotta wash your hands before you deliver a baby. Or you know, now we wear gloves. So these types of things were, were really what was driving. This whole concept of, you know, the disease going
Sarah Crawford: on, and you can see that because there are certain things that declined as rapidly as vaccinated.
Things declined, but there's no vaccine
Dr. Brandon Crawford: for them. Yeah, like scarlet fever. Yeah. And things like this. So they were declining at the same rate, yet there was no vaccine for them. Mm-hmm. Okay. So just again, that's kind of a, yes, there's data behind that, but it's also a common sense argument.
Sarah Crawford: Yeah.
Well, I think that's it. I think we wish we could just get to a place. Where we could respect other people's opinions. I have friends, I have family who fully vaccinate their kids love them. Mm-hmm. That is their choice. That is their, their choice for their family. This is our choice for our family. We get along and we coexist, but we have to be able to pick apart the data, pick apart the things, and I think, I wish that people of higher offices.
Could stop holding back so much and really get to the root cause.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Yeah. I think RFK is trying, but I think there's real obstacles and real challenges mm-hmm. That you know, he has to navigate. Oh, we didn't
Sarah Crawford: even talk about the gene issue.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: The gene issue. Okay.
Sarah Crawford: How many times do you see my kid has genetic autism?
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Well, there's syndromic and there's non syndromic autism. So, you know, there's several study groups right now looking at crispr, right? So they're trying to find the genetic, or they're trying to identify the gene that causes autism, right? It has not been found, no one's identified it. Hey, look, if they do, fantastic, modify it, solve the problem.
I am not opposed to this, but it, it, it, I don't think they're gonna find it. It doesn't really exist. There's, there's syndromic conditions like RET syndrome, right? It's things like this that present with autistic like symptoms. But as a provider that's been in this space, I'll tell you. I can identify with, I, I'm not saying I'm a hundred percent accurate, but I can identify genetic versus non-genetic almost instantly as soon as a kid walks into the room.
Mm-hmm. They have a diff a different look. They're globally affected. They don't typically have this unevenness of skills like they present differently than the type of autism that is running rampant and is escalating at a dramatic and scary. Mm-hmm. These are two different things, right? So yes, there's syndromic causes or genetic causes, but that's not what everyone's pointing to, and that's not what everyone is having a problem with.
And that's not what's on the dramatic rise. No. How does a genetic disease just all of a sudden skyrocket?
Sarah Crawford: Yeah,
Dr. Brandon Crawford: because I mean it, and I don't know if I'll get blow back from this, but I mean, if, if it were genetic, and that would mean that, you know, these, these autistic kiddos were. Breeding they were, they were reproducing with one another and propagating the genes.
And, and I don't think that's happening. Where's the genetic rise coming from?
Sarah Crawford: And you do see, so whenever you have a patient that comes in that has, you know, they're autistic, maybe they have a sibling that has pretty moderate to severe autism, do you see a diff, is there a difference in their family and the parents and the dad?
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Say it again. And
Sarah Crawford: the mom or the dad, like, are the mom and the dad ever. More predisposed. Oh, absolutely. To have a child, like when you have two patients.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Okay. Yeah. So yeah, yeah, yeah. So you have you know, mom or dad is already on the spectrum, or they're both on the spectrum. They're not, they're engineers.
They're both, they're engineers, left brain engineers or engineers, you know something, right? Yeah. They're, they're, you know, a very heavy left brain, you know, profession. And then those two individuals get together and they. Have a kid that where those effects were then magnified, right? They propagated a magnification in that genetic tendency or that epigenetic tendency.
Sure, we see that all the time, but I've also seen the opposite. I've seen, you know, parents that were complete opposite and they had this autistic kid, right? So, and, and I will say just for full transparency, and to be 100% like open here, I have a handful. And, and I'm gonna say one handful, not even two handful.
So I have one handful of autistic kiddos where they were not vaccinated.
Sarah Crawford: Mm-hmm.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: And, and it's not genetic. So I do have that and I do see that. So again, I'm not saying, and we're not saying that vaccines cause autism, that's not what I'm saying. It is a factor that needs to be considered.
Sarah Crawford: Mm-hmm.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: And I'll go back and point to the light story. Because when you look at the dramatic rise of artificial light non-native EMF and artificial light, this dramatic rise correlates with the dramatic rise of autism and neurobehavioral disorders.
Sarah Crawford: Mm-hmm.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: And I think that there's something to that, and that starts to talk to the mitochondrial story.
We start seeing mitochondrial, hetero plasmic, AKA inefficiencies in mitochondria start to escalate and rise with the increased tech abuse and use. Of screens and LED lights and you know, really getting away from the circadian stuff that we were talking about earlier. But by really pummeling our bodies with the wrong form of light, like this actually causes damage in our mitochondria.
And I truly think that this is a core component to this whole story. Yeah, because we even talked about how glutathione protects what the mitochondria, this is a large component of what's going on. So I think the mitochondria is really the canary in the coal mine here. And I think that's really what, you know, we need to be focused on.
Yes, we see brain imbalances and all that kind of stuff, but I'll tell you the, the hemispheric work doesn't work for every kid. Yeah. It's not always the right brain deficiency. It's not like, does that work? Sometimes? Yeah, but the reason why I started to question it is because it didn't always work, and sometimes I'd see.
Areas in the right that were weak, but also areas in the left that were weak. And so the hemispheric model clinically started to kind of break down a little bit. We still apply it, especially, you know, for the individuals that we can look at. We can say, man, I see all of these deficiencies here. Like, let's really, you know, we can do that.
But everyone needs to have their own personalized, individualized approach, approach. But the mitochondrial story absolutely applies to all. Yeah. Mitochondrial, DNA is inherited from the mom.
Sarah Crawford: Mm-hmm.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: And I, I believe that's by design because it's, we are trying to eliminate as much trauma response as you can.
And so if historically the dad goes out and fights wars, or goes out and hunts and all this kind of stuff, the dad is absolutely more likely to encounter trauma. And so evolutionarily our mitochondrial DNA has been eliminated. This is Crawford conjecture. You know, things that I've thought through. And so your mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mom.
That's not conjecture, that's fact, that's facts, right? Mitochondrial inherited from. And if you think about what the mitochondrial DNA does it's kind of like flight control, right? So your genetic code is like the airplanes, but the mitochondrial DNA is controlling all the flights, right? So it's really controlling the nuclear DNA and the genetic expression and the phenotypic expression and all these things.
And by the way, it's doing it via bio photons, right? And that's Fritz Pop's work, and that's Roland Van Wick work. So again, this is not conjecture, this is just actual like. Data that's been uncovered. And so a lot of what's transpiring is we're developing at a rapid pace, mitochondrial, hetero plasmic, AKA mitochondrial inefficiencies that is then leading to all of these explosions of chronic diseases, including neurodevelopmental disorders.
Yeah.
Sarah Crawford: And it's not that we're trying to, not that we're saying like that you have an autistic kid and we want to solve, like cure them. Well,
Dr. Brandon Crawford: they, they have a unique skillset Yeah. That I think our society does a poor job of recognizing and incorporating.
Sarah Crawford: Mm-hmm.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: And I think one thing that we should do as a society is look at what are the strengths in this population and how can we best.
You know, incorporate them into society. I mean, they, they can do things that we, that I could never do. I mean, they have a true gift, right? And we
Sarah Crawford: see it every week in our clinic and I'm like, wow, yeah, this brain of this kid is unbelievable. It just works so different than. The, you know, eight hour school day.
And you even see that in A DHD and dyslexia and a DD and the other neurodevelopmental disorders. And I even have friends and I talk to them, they're like, oh my gosh, my kid is making me wanna bang my head against like, I'm just so upset. I dunno what to do. And it's like, they're like, but we just have to mold them and not squash out that quirkiness.
'cause that quirkiness leads greatness. Yes. When it's handled, you know, when it's cultivated correctly.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Absolutely.
Sarah Crawford: So we think it's. You know, we're here for it. We're here to help develop that and, and love them and help families, but we just see it a whole lot.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: True. When you look at high level CEOs, Navy Seals, all these people that are very high performers, these people typically have A DHD or Tourettes or something like that, that gives them.
And unevenness in their skillsets that allows them to be a high performer. Like this is something that I've talked about for years. Like,
Sarah Crawford: or even like swim. Remember when our kids swam and I had moms tell me, like, my kid has is on the spectrum. My kid has this, my kid has this. And no one would be like, man, my friends can swim all day.
And they never hurt. And we're like, it's 'cause they're not fully feeling their bodies. But that's superpower they have.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Mm-hmm.
Sarah Crawford: It absolutely is.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: It's,
Sarah Crawford: it's cool.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Absolutely. Well, what else should we touch on? I don't know. We just talked for almost an hour. Yeah. So that was a good little impromptu discussion.
We talked about a lot. Just to kind of wrap it up before we get off here, I'm just gonna give you my opinion. So this is conjecture from branding Crawford. And I'm not gonna make claim that I know it with 100% certainty or anything like this is just my observation. So they needed to find something, right?
They, they started this initiative and, and I love that the administration and RFK, like they, they came together and I love the concept behind this, and I think that, that RFK is trying to do good work, but along the way they had to point to something, right? So they started to point there was already data pointing to acetaminophen, so there was somewhat of an easy target.
And so what you see here is. I think acetaminophen, I think Tylenol is being used as a scapegoat personally because it points the finger at them. And this is, you know, them saying this is causing a problem. So the, you know, one side of the aisle, the holistic side is, is happy, right? They go, oh, they're finding a problem and it's a drug and this is good, this is good movement in the right direction, et cetera.
But then the other side of the aisle, well, it wasn't a major. Finding, it wasn't like, you know, they're really damning vaccines or they're really, you know, finding anything major here that's gonna piss off the other side. So both sides are happy, but then at the same time, they're recommending better access to leucovorin, right?
So Leucovorin is folinic acid. It's a prescription. It's used for cerebral folate deficiency, right? So if your brain is not able to use. B nine effectively, then you can take this and it can improve neuronal health, right? Sure. So it's good for some people, right? And so, but it's not a magic cure, all right?
I've had several patients take it and not have a big problem because
Sarah Crawford: it's just a methylated form of B nine,
Dr. Brandon Crawford: right? It's a, it's a manipulated form of B nine. Again, in order to have something be a prescription, it has to be chemically altered in order to be patented. Mm-hmm. And so I argue. Whole Foods sources are best.
Take your methylated B vitamins and other methylation supporters and you know, if you know you have methylation pathway issues like the M-H-M-T-H-F-R, gene comp gene, all these different genes that affect methylation disorders. So it's not just about lukewarm, but there's a, there's other B vitamins to consider on this as well.
What I see, and again, my opinion, I think this is a scapegoat. You're gonna see a decline in sales from people not buying Tylenol. But I think to counter that, you're gonna have an up uptick in Luke Warren cells. When you look at ownership structures of this. It's all murky. You have conglomerates owning multiple companies, and each of those companies own multiple companies, et cetera.
So there's no clear, you know, ownership path that I can, you know, really, and I haven't researched it. Again, this is just conjecture, but it, it just kinda looks like it's a little funny to me.
Sarah Crawford: Yeah.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: We are not trying to attack anyone, we're just trying to present data. And some of the things I talked about were my opinion.
I tried to point to when I was talking about my opinion or conjecture, but all the other stuff, I mean, we were, we were really just commenting on data factual data that has been published. That's what we're doing. And so hopefully this. Help to clarify some things. Yeah,
Sarah Crawford: and if you want more studies, just search acetaminophen and glutathione.
Dr. Brandon Crawford: Yeah, they populate on Google. Google. There you go. Fantastic. All right, well, hope you liked it. If you did, please like, share it, all the things. Looking forward to what you had to say. All right. Thanks.
