Assassination Of Autism Expert Lisa Blakemore-Brown
The story of what happened to the UK professional Lisa Blakemore-Brown when she
voiced her concerns about vaccines, has all the intrigue and drama associated with an Agatha Christie
crime novel. The sad reality is that this has not been written as a work of fiction but to expose the horrific
facts surrounding her case and the efforts made to cover up vaccine damage in children.
Her case began when a number of unsubstantiated complaints arrived at the offices of the British
Psychological Society attacking the professionalism of the leading educational psychologist and expert in
autism Ms. Lisa Blakemore-Brown. Instead of backing their psychologist as one would expect, the BPS
backed the complainants and accused Ms Blakemore-Brown of being paranoid. On each occasion she won
her case, one complaint turning out to be based on a forged document and the final complaint being lodged
by a support group heavily funded by a drugs company. Despite her spectacular wins however, she not
only lost her home but she has had her career totally sabotaged.
I have always been shocked and frankly appalled that Ms Blakemore-Browns case has not been written
about in full. There was no media coverage of her case and no articles of support before it. There were no
protests outside the gates of the BPS for her as she struggled to cope with the pressure and no evidence of
support from the families that she had so gallantly fought for.
Paranoia of course, as we know, is an ugly word along as with an accusation of paranoia comes stigma,
prejudice and discrimination. In fact, this wonderfully talented and gifted professional was being treated in

exactly the same way as the many families she had helped over the years who had been falsely accused of
Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (a diagnosis given to a mother or care giver to describe aspects of their
behaviour. This behaviour usually includes subjecting what appears to be a previously healthy child to
unnecessary and often painful tests or medical interventions i.e.: scans, x-rays and even surgical
procedures to gain attention from the medical profession) This leads us to question whether this was why
the BPS turned what should have been a simple conduct case into a fitness to practise hearing, carried
out behind closed doors with accusations of paranoia and an enforced psychiatric assessment. Common
sense tells us that any professional that is deemed paranoid by their governing body automatically has
their past work professionally discredited. I personally believe that this was what was aimed for in this
case.
Two professionals did write in support of Ms Blakemore-Brown to the BPS. These were Earl Frederick
Howe House of Lords and Dr Michael Innis, who both viewed Ms Blakemore-Brown as a professional
of integrity and gave very high accounts of her excellent work.
I am honoured that I have been given the opportunity to write about the case of Lisa Blakemore-Brown,
which is one that shows monumental injustice. Her case was instigated, in my opinion, by financially
motivated pharmaceutical companies, corrupt governments and a failing system. I hope in writing this I
can begin to expose the real truth of what can happen to a professional who speaks out against vaccines
and their dangers.
Lisa Blakemore-Brown is an independent applied psychologist specialising in ADHD, Asperger Syndrome
and related disorders. Her research focuses on early intensive system intervention and the increasing
professional recognition of the interweaving of ADHD, Asperger Syndrome and related disorders. For this
interweaving of disorders she uses her own metaphor Tapestry Disorders.
In 1996, Ms Blakemore-Brown was introduced to and asked to assess twin girls whose mother had been
accused of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSBP).The paediatrician and expert leading the case at the
time was the since discredited Professor David Southall.
After spending many hours researching the twins background and studying the vast quantity of medical
records ascertaining to the case, Ms Blakemore-Brown discovered that these two little girls had been born
prematurely, at just 26 weeks and were severely disabled. Against all odds, the twins managed to survive,
even after they both suffered multiple complications which included brain haemorrhages. Ms
Blakemore-Brown diagnosed the twins with Autistic Spectrum Disorder and ADHD saying that they were,
in fact, very disabled little girls, Professor Southall and social services disagreed, stating that these little
girls were normal. Professor Southall later admitted on a television documentary surrounding the case, that
he had no expertise in psychology or indeed the condition ADHD. Why did he go against Ms BlakemoreBrowns expert opinion when in fact he knew nothing whatsoever about psychology or the condition
ADHD?
Ms Blakemore-Brown spoke about the case more recently at the Convention of Modern Liberty and said:
Back in 1996 I was an Expert Witness in a Court case involving autistic spectrum hyperactive identical
twin girls who had been born at 26 weeks gestation in 1984. The behaviour of the twins, one in particular,
was so difficult for the mother to manage especially with two other younger children, that she threatened
to sue the authorities if they had missed the nature of the twins problem. This triggered an allegation of
Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSBP) that she was fabricating or inducing the childrens
behaviours/illnesses. What became clear to me was that Social workers, the Court and other professionals
were being groomed by perverted logic to see real disorders and symptoms of real illness as child abuse.
In 1996, the case went to court and despite Ms Blakemore-Browns evidence, the twins mother lost all
four of her children to the care of social services.
12/03/2013 16:13
It was around this time that Ms Blakemore-Brown began to have serious concerns about other cases
involving autistic children she was assessing. Many of these were where the parents had also been accused
of MSBP particularly she noticed after the parents had claimed that their childrens problems only began
after a vaccine had been administered. In 1997, she wrote about her concerns in a letter that was published
by the BPS in the magazine the Psychologist http://www.profitableharm.com/psychologist_letter.html .
Blakemore-Brown said that she could help care for her elderly dog and answer her phone. Ms.
Blakemore-Brown soon discovered that this was in fact an elaborate hoax, as when she came home she
found that her papers on the Griffiths Inquiry had been stolen and her home had in fact been ransacked.
She then had a call from a professional she knew in the North, who was claiming that this woman had
arrived in their offices and spent the whole day in what can onloy be described as sabotaging Ms.
Blakemore-Browns reputation. This was the very day she had said to Ms. Blakemore-Brown that she was
supposed to be having possible life saving surgery.
Despite this, Ms Blakemore-Brown continued to speak out about her fears of vaccine damage and in
particular, the use of Thimerosal in vaccines and the overuse of the label MSBP to blame parents for their
childrens disabilities. Ms Blakemore-Brown attributed this overuse to the work of Professor David
Southall and Professor Roy Meadow.
During this time, she complained to both the General Medical Council and the Department of Health,
asking for a public health inquiry. She was ignored. In fact Ms Blakemore-Brown wrote several times to
the Government, even sending a letter to Jackie Smith, the then Health Secretary, demanding that action be
taken. Jackie Smith returned this with a curt reply, saying that her fears had been documented.
In 2000, Ms Blakemore-Brown launched her book Reweaving the Autistic Tapestry in which she featured
the case of a child she called Lorelei (name was changed to protect identity). This was a child who had
reacted to the pertussis vaccine and in this case, the hospital had noted it in her medical records. The little
girl went on to develop Kawasaki Syndrome, (KS is characterized by fever, rash, swelling of the hands
and feet, irritation and redness of the whites of the eyes, swollen lymph glands in the neck, and irritation
and inflammation of the mouth, lips, and throat) which has been attributed to vaccine damage by many

Sally Clark spent three and a half years in jail wrongly convicted of
murdering two of her babies after a jury was assured there was no other explanation for their sudden
deaths than that she had deliberately smothered them. Yet five hours before her second child, Harry, was
found lifeless in his baby chair, he had been injected with a combined vaccine with a long history of
serious adverse reactions.
Harry was eight weeks old, the regulation age for the first of three injections against diphtheria, tetanus,
pertussis (DTP) and Hib (a bacterial infection that can cause meningitis). He was also given an oral polio
vaccine. His biological age was five weeks, as he had been born three weeks premature. Because of the
previous sudden death of his brother, Christopher, his breathing was being monitored. He was
uncharacteristically dozy from the time of his jabs to the time he died.
Not many people know these facts, because at Sallys trial the defence did not mention immunisation as a
possible cause of death. Two prosecution witnesses, including the paediatrician Professor Sir Roy
Meadow, assured the jury it could be discounted. Their statements went unchallenged, and the issue did
not form any part of the appeal hearings. Professor Meadow, a former member of a Department of Health
sub-committee on adverse reactions to vaccines, told the jury that he could not think of any natural
explanation for Harrys or Christophers deaths.

Lisa says in her article ***** THE POLITICS AND COMMERCE OF AUTISM
Given the profound need for such efforts and such facilities espoused by none other than Jacqui Smith at
the Kings Fund Centre just a few months earlier and the considerable media exposure of the wrongful
convictions of women accused of killing their children by Professor Sir Roy Meadow, I had every reason to
feel optimistic about the Centre, my own future and that of the children I dedicated my working life to.
Within a matter of weeks, another vexatious complaint was drummed up with a group called ADDISS
heavily involved at the outset. This group was just beginning to receive considerable funding from Eli
Lilly, the pharmaceutical company which first produced Thimerosal, a mercury-containing vaccine
preservative implicated in the rise in autism. Liam Byrne, a Labour Minister who has also had
responsibility for matters linked to autism, defended the funding this same group received from the
Department of Health at the same time. He was also brought in to spin out the considerable number of
recommendations following a two year Select Committee Parliamentary inquiry into the influence of the
Pharmaceutical Industry.
Despite knowing about the actions of this group from a colleague, the British Psychological Society
ploughed on. The University was bombarded with vexatious calls relating to me and the Director was told,
out of the blue, to take early retirement. It was all quite shocking for everyone
It was around this time and completely out of the blue, another complaint went in to the BPS. This time
the complaint was from Penny Mellor, herself an avid campaigner against false allegations of child abuse
and the main contributor to the website MAMA. Ms Mellor implied that Ms Blakemore-Brown was not fit
to practise and was in her opinion mentally ill.
Ms Blakemore-Brown was shocked as she had only ever met Ms Mellor on three occasions. However. Ms
Mellor had tried to sabotage every attempt Ms Blakemore-Brown made to expose the ever increasing
number of parents being falsely accused after a vaccine injury had occurred.
Suddenly and without warning Ms Blakemore-Brown was asked to leave the university and close down
the Tapestry Life Centre; her lifetimes dream was shattered.
On winning her case in 2008, three years after the complaint was originally filed, Ms Blakemore-Brown
promptly resigned from the BPS as she no longer wanted any association with an organisation she felt was
as corrupt as their counterpart, the GMC. She continued to speak out until the middle of 2009.
Little has been heard from Ms Blakemore-Brown since then. Has she finally called it a day and realised
that the drug companies and the UK government have just become too powerful when it comes to
vaccinating our children? Well I am sure that is what they would like to think. After all, it would be
another notch on their bedpost so to speak. Ms Blakemore-Brown has this saying, however: Slowly,
Slowly, Catchy, Monkey, and I doubt very much that they have seen the last of this amazing women.
On July 18th 2010 it was announced by The Independent newspaper that Ms Monke-2(h)-2(o)20(r)-6n had be84(e)3
3(am)2(pa)10(bodi)-w Q 3 12 -1
o(-)-7(B)7(i)-2((s)8( )13(-)-7g(e)3
The controversial parents advocate and campaigner Penny Mellor has stepped down from the General
Medical Councils expert group on child protection in the face of a High Court challenge to the GMCs
decision to recruit her to the group.
Papers served on the GMC by the paediatrician David Southall argue that her inclusion in the group is
illegal, perverse, and unethical and contrary to the public interest and the spirit of the Safeguarding
Vulnerable Groups Act 2006.

Thanks Christina for informing us on the other victims of the pharma era, the professionals. Their
lives are being ruined just like the vaccine damaged children.
I plan on buying Ms Browns book(if I can find it!) to help support her.

I applaud the work of Lisa Blakemore-Brown. With all the new medications and so called modern
medicine almost all childhood diseases are at epidemic levels here in the US. In 1990 Autism
effected 1 in 10,000 children, today Autism effects 1 in less than 100. In 1968 children received 3
vaccinations to the age 18, today depending on the State children are getting 25 to 45 vaccinations.
The numbers do not lie. There is some very effective solutions to most of the health challanges like
replacing missing nutrients and proper diet to give the immune system what it needs to function
properly. The problem of course in the Medical Industrial Complex the only looks at profit, human
suffering and death dont seem to matter. If this is not the case when was the last time a disease was
cured with modern medicine Cancer is a great example. In 1971 the US passed the National
Cancer act. and established the National Cancer Institute. Back in 1971 we treated cancer three
ways, surgery, radiation and Chemo. We have spent billions in so called reseach, cancer alone is the
number 2 industry in the world and yet cancer rates are going up especially in our children. How do
we treat cancer today? Surgery, radiation and Chemo. Follow the money and you will find the
answers.

Lisa is a good woman. Mellor is simply a bully and has been vile to a lot of good people, no reason
known. We can only guess.
