Nyström and Hammarström (2022) found 7 segments in the bio-active SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that can produce abnormal proteinaceous (fibrinaloid) clots according to the Waltz algorithm. In vitro results confirmed the Waltz predictions. If the spike coding sequence was captured in the BNT162b2, Moderna, and other injectables, as claimed by the manufa...

This editorial presents the main questions for volume 3, issue 1 of the IJVTPR, titled Injuries, Causes, & Treatments. The focus is on the clinical outcomes still unfolding from billions of injections of the COVID-19 “vaccines” — the “synthetic gene therapies” administered, according to the Pharmaceutical Technology trackers in 2022, in more than 1...

The human language capacity stands at the very top of the intellectual abilities of us human beings, and it ranks incommensurably higher than the intellectual powers of any other organism or any robot. It vastly exceeds the touted capacities of "artificial intelligence" with respect to creativity, freedom of will (control of thoughts and words), an...

Because of the special place and functions of the human language capacity in our anatomy and physiology, this course deals with biosignaling systems from the smallest waves, particles, and electromagnetic forces to the diverse manifestations of human language in speech, writing, manual signing, verbal thinking, and combinations of them. Although th...

This book is an introduction to biosignalling systems and to the things that can and do go wrong with them.

According to data collected in the UK for weeks 34-52 in 2021 (excluding week 51 which was not covered) and in weeks 1-12 of 2022 — a period of 28 weeks during which the genetic “vaccines” from Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca were being pressed upon the public — deaths reported to Public Health England (PHE) from their hospital “trusts” were being...

This review zeros in on the aspect of vaccine theory, practice, and research that is the most dangerous, the most controversial, and that is at the epicenter of the alleged SARS-CoV-2 “pandemic”. Regardless whether the “pandemic” itself is real or an illusion manufactured out of fear by vested interests, it is central to ethics and policy discussio...

The main purpose of this project, which also records some incidental multi-generational family history, is to reveal the actual foundation of my lifetime of study, theory-building, and experimental testing of theories about languages and sign systems, biological systems included from about 1980 forward to now.

Discovering the methodology of Charles S. Peirce (through the chronological edition of his writings: see Fisch et al. in volumes 1-8 beginning with Peirce, 1982), in particular his manner of generalized mathematical reasoning, was transformative in my thinking and led to the central components of this present project “Mathematical Properties of Mea...

An introduction to human anatomy and physiology with a view toward the special interests of speech-language pathologists and audiologists in the highest level of human intelligence as expressed in our uses of language. This book offers up-to-date theory and research on human biosignaling systems and their involvement in all that is distinctive abou...

At their most abstract level, according to a certain generalized paradigm in biosemiotic philosophy grounded in well-established mathematical proofs, valid communications from molecules upward must be formally isomorphic to the dynamic true narrative representations (TNRs) of natural language systems that vest those meaningful signs with their func...

‘True narrative representations’ (TNRs) are essential to successful communications. Every TNR has some particular complex object (O), a symbol string (S), and a moving index (π) connecting S to O. The parts may be relatively simple, or incredibly complex, but they always agree. The agreement of every TNR expresses the triune nature of the Creator G...

This paper looks into the amazing depth of the sort of articulation that we take for granted in our most mundane and ordinary uses of language. It explores why and how articulation modeling is necessary to language acquisition and it shows how cross-modal transfer from vision, and motoric information, for example, can inform speech perception and p...

This addendum to “HCG found in WHO tetanus vaccine in Kenya raises concern in the developing world” (published October 28, 2017 by OALibJ) addresses arguments claiming to discredit it from John Broughall, a retired microbiologist, and from an unnamed person (or persons) going by the pseudonym “The Original Skeptical Raptor” (hereafter, “Raptor”). O...

In 1993, WHO announced a “birth-control vaccine” for “family planning”. Published research shows that by 1976 WHO researchers had conjugated tetanus toxoid (TT) with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) producing a “birth-control” vaccine. Conjugating TT with hCG causes pregnancy hormones to be attacked by the immune system. Expected results are abor...

Despite enjoying a high standard of living, the United States ranks 46th among nations reporting infant survival rates to the World Health Organization. Among factors that increase infant mortality are environmental toxicants. Toxic metals such as mercury, aluminum, and lead interact synergistically with fluoride compounds to produce metal fluoride...

This is a technical report by the first two named authors which was minimally contributed to by Oller as an after the fact editor (and in the writing of this abstract). Oller also has been involved in publishing some of the earlier findings in a paper to appear that will be announced and uploaded to Oller's RG site when published. The subject matte...

The objective of this paper is to prove by simple construction, generalized by induction, that the bounded areas on any map, such as found on the surface of a sheet of paper or a spherical globe, can be colored completely with just 4 distinct colors. Rather than following the tradition of examining each of tens of thousands of designs that can be p...

It was about the fall semester of 1978 when I began to take a closer look at diagnostic procedures and tests of communication disorders. It soon became apparent that the distinction John B. Carroll had introduced between discrete-point and integrative testing had not had any real impact there yet. Neither had the distinction between surface form an...

Explanations for the apparent epidemic of ASDs — ranging from genetics to better diagnosis — are assessed. Advances in toxicology, biosemiotics, and recursive genomics (A. Pellionisz, 2012; A. J. Pellionisz, Graham, Pellionisz, & Perez, 2013) — point to known geno- and neuro-toxins interfering with epigenomic methylation in DNA, and these and other...

If we can determine the cause(s) of autism, we are in a far better position to try to discover how to bring about recoveries. Stan Kurtz showed that this is in fact possible as demonstrated with his own child. In this talk proposed etiologies are explored and known factors causing neuropathologies, including those on the autism spectrum, are discus...

The argument here concerns the episodic organization of discourse and measurement in the sciences. It is developed in two parts. First, empirical effects of episodic organization in discourse processing are demonstrated. The impact on first and second language users is shown by demonstrating loss in comprehension when episodic organization is disru...

Developmental screening tests are widely used, but studies of reliability and validity often unavailable or inappropriate to diverse sub-populations where the tests are to be applied. The most widely used screening test for identifying young children at-risk for developmental delays is the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST). The objective o...

Because of the abundance of aluminum in the Earth’s crust, it was regarded as harmless before its use in products became prevalent. Humans are exposed to aluminum from food, water, medicinals, vaccines, cosmetics, and industrial exposure. However, Al is toxic to living systems and has no physiological role in biological systems. Beginning with the...

Over the last 200 years, mining, smelting, and refining of aluminum (Al) in various forms have increasingly exposed living species to this naturally abundant metal. Because of its prevalence in the earth's crust, prior to its recent uses it was regarded as inert and therefore harmless. However, Al is invariably toxic to living systems and has no kn...

The simplest and most informative linguistic messages are the kind found in ordinary true narratives. Such valid messages ― laden with pragmatic information ― provide the limiting antithesis of biosemiotic entropy. Generalizing from linguistic to biological systems, and taking account of some of the countless ways any complex arrangement of symbols...

This article concludes the special issue on Biosemiotic Entropy looking toward the future on the basis of current and prior results. It highlights certain aspects of the series, concerning factors that damage and degenerate biosignaling systems. As in ordinary linguistic discourse, well-formedness (coherence) in biological signaling systems depends...

From conception to maturity, milestones of language development are now known to occur earlier than ever seemed possible right up until about a decade ago. Since then, the chronology of milestones achieved from conception forward has been adjusted more and more in the direction of earlier rather than later achievements. Human babies, especially bef...

Communication disorders involve difficulties in understanding or getting messages across—difficulties that are either abnormally severe, or persistent, or both. The complexity of testing any knowledge, skill, or ability is increased when the persons assessed have one or several communication disorders. The valid identification and diagnosis of such...

Communication disorders are abnormally severe and/or persistent difficulties that can arise at any time over the life span. The complexity of assessing language skills, or any knowledge or ability, is increased when persons assessed are known or suspected of having one or more disorders. To diagnose communication disorders, prior understanding of n...

To inaugurate this new on-line, open-source journal, I would like to highlight communication disorders in general and their causation in particular. Independent researchers and theoreticians, in my lifetime and throughout the history of science, have valued the discovery, dissemination, and subsequent uptake of ideas that advance knowledge. Unsurpr...

In the field of communication disorders, perhaps the most neglected area in the scope of practice of speech-language pathologists and audiologists is prevention. Yet to prevent disorders it is necessary first and foremost to seek out their causes. Let this editorial serve as a call for papers seeking out causes with a view toward prevention. The w...

High stakes discourse (HSD) is defined as any linguistic exchange where shared understanding is essential to the life, health, and/or valued property of at least one of the interlocutors, or of other human beings. Exchanges between air traffic controllers and pilots, doctors and patients, and consumers and pharmacists are HSD contexts. The purpose...

In language assessment, the task is only made more difficult by the existence of communication disorders. According to Michael Kane (2011), “finding that an examinee had a disability that had not been adequately accommodated could undermine a standard interpretive argument.” How should we interpret scores, ratings, or any language assessment for pe...

This is an internet webinar hosted at the following URL by Glenn Fulcher about language testing. In this particular case the focus is on the special problems presented to language testers by communication disorders. There is also some discussion about the process of pragmatic mapping and how it is reflected, actually programed into the neuroarchite...

In language assessment, the task is only made more difficult by the existence of communication disorders.

How should we interpret scores, ratings, or a...

Kane’s argument-based framework is summarized and examined. He implicitly appeals to the backgrounded concepts of fairness and justice. From there it is a short distance to grounding the whole system in the mundane notion of truth. In fact, valid argument systems must depend on representations that are ‘true’ by virtue of agreement with purporte...

Sometimes paths cross, re-cross, and cross again at perfect moments in time. I first met Dr. Sadanand Singh in Palm Springs, California, April 17, 1998. I remember that sunny day and Singh’s warm greeting, handshake, smile, and the light in his eyes. We had no further contact until I got a personally addressed letter from Singh dated October 6, 200...

The possibility of utilizing the doze procedure as a measure of ESL (English as a Second Language) proficiency has recently aroused considerable interest. Studies by Darnell (1968), Bowen (1969), Kaplan and Jones (1970), Oller and Conrad (1971), and Oller and Inal (1971) have demonstrated that the cloze method has merit, but several important quest...

What elements of sign systems constitute the necessary and sufficient “proper” domain(s) for theories of grammar?

Mathematical definitions of information, e.g., Shannon’s, set aside reference and the ordinary meanings deployed in social and biological communication. Defining information as “negative entropy” —the theoretical opposite of the absence of information (as proposed by Norbert Wiener)—led even farther from the ordinary world of experience. However, I...

Not long ago, most of us had not even heard of autism. Over the last three decades, however, it has become such a common diagnosis that many people today are inclined increasingly to regard it as a fact of life. However, many of the questions we posed in our 2010 book on autism are still unanswered by the mainstream medical profession. Why have the...

In this book, we embark on a journey that is more like a crime story than like the typical ho-hum university course. It is an excursion in investigative journalism guided by forensic science. The story that follows is grounded in the best and most up-to-date scientific research available. It is also based on sound theoretical advances with direct r...

Autism, according to the data presented in Chapter 1 and here in this chapter, is the fastest growing diagnosis of all the childhood disorders and diseases. The American Academy of Pediatrics, on its Web page titled “Facts for Parents about Vaccine Safety,” says, “The apparent increase in autism may be due to a combination of factors. For example,...

Having shown in Chapter 2 that there has been a real increase in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders, it makes sense to turn our attention to the causes of this class of disorders. As we will see, the facts of the autism epidemic have led to a situation where the public is increasingly demanding accountability not only of medical practition...

In this chapter we sum up evidence that led certain parent/researchers to the hypothesis that the behavioral symptoms of severe autism suggest it may be due to mercury poisoning. The symptoms, in a large percentage of instances, are virtually identical. Unless the diagnosis of mercury poisoning is known in advance, it is virtually impossible to tel...

During the later 1980s and throughout the 1990s, it could be argued that the toxicology of thimerosal was hidden in the looming shadows thrown by vaccine injuries. This phenomenon was well documented in 2002 by Walter Orenstein, then Director of the U.S. National Immunization Program (refer back to Figure 4-2). The role played by organic mercury in...

There is a clichéd but true approach for the first lecture in biochemistry. Because that subject, biochemistry, is the essential focus of this chapter, it may be interesting to keep the following introduction in mind. The biochemistry professor often constructs a chain of reasoning that goes something like this: Mathematics may be dry and abstrac...

The notion that vaccines provide protection against deadly diseases has an interesting history. It is a story of which the public knows only a few bits and pieces. Most of us were taught about the victory over smallpox, and we heard the tale of the humble British doctor who discovered that exposure to the relatively harmless cowpox could prevent a...

In this chapter, we begin with an analysis of the Hannah Poling case, and then proceed to consider how the individual’s right to maintain the privacy and integrity of his or her own bodily tissues compares with the rights granted to government under the Constitution to provide for the common defense of the nation. To what extent, for instance, does...

The germ theory of disease has a peculiar place in the history of science and especially in medicine. Some have argued (e.g., Abedon, 1998) that its introduction was the single greatest advance in the history of medicine and perhaps in the history of science. Although the widespread acceptance of the germ theory did not occur until Louis Pasteur’s...

In this chapter we examine the military analogy for the immune systems of the body in depth. We see why that analogy is the only one taken seriously in the research literature. The body has enemies, but it is innately well equipped to deal with them. By examining some of those enemies—including parasites, bacteria, viruses, and combinations of them...

Empirical research and sound theory show the gastrointestinal tract to be central to the chronic disease symptoms associated with autism. The tendency of mainstream pediatricians and clinicians, however, is to look to behavioral interventions that address symptoms rather than their causes. The treatments that have been attempted are too many to lis...

Wakefield wrote: "It is an honor to be asked to write a foreword, particularly one for such a valuable and scholarly contribution to the understanding of autism." However, in the view of the authors of the book, it was our privilege and honor, along with Jones and Bartlett Publishers, to have a scholar at Wakefield's level read, comment on, and the...

The diagnosis of disorders, diseases, complexes, and syndromes and even the correct identification of symptoms of any of these is crucial to the discovery of their causation and to successful treatment. In this chapter we show why understanding causation is superior to merely treating symptoms. We do so by comparing treatments aimed at symptoms wit...

Entropy can be defined as the antithesis of well-formed true reports that agree with each other and with the material facts accessible through the experience of one or more competent observers. The abstract convergence (strictly formal, logical agreement) of true narrative representations (TNRs)—ordinary valid reports of facts of experience—makes t...

This book introduces and reclassifies disorders across the board from the vantage point of a more dynamic, comprehensive, consistent, and coherent theory of sign systems. In doing so, it presents newly discovered theoretical connections along with up-to-date published empirical and experimental demonstrations. It is becoming increasingly evident th...

Pragmatic mapping (per Oller, 1975, 2009) involves the linguistic (abstract) representation of perceptual and memorial information through signs (words or other abstract signs) that are mapped onto things, persons, and event sequences represented in images. As shown by Oller, Oller, & Badon (2010), the dominant hemisphere manages words and sequence...

Theories of cognitive grammar (CG) and other approaches to cognitive linguistics have advocated speaker construal as a dynamic element in language acquisition. CG gives special attention to the ways in which speakers parse up and construe the parts of a particular event sequence or situation for expressive purposes (Langacker, 2002). The notion of...
