Journal of Independent Medicine Releases New Issue Featuring Major Review on Autism Spectrum Disorder and Expanding Global Contributions to Honest Medicine Conflict-Free, Double-Blind Peer-Reviewed Journal Continues to Advance Independent Scientific Inquiry and Transparent Medical Debate FULL STATEMENT: Washington, D.C. — May 13, 2026 — The Independent Medical Alliance (IMA) today announced the publication of the latest edition of the Journal of Independent Medicine (JIM), continuing the journal’s mission to provide a rigorous, conflict-free platform for scientific inquiry, clinical debate, and evidence-based medicine free from pharmaceutical or political influence. The May 2026 issue features a wide range of peer-reviewed articles spanning critical care, public health, medical ethics, integrative medicine, vaccine safety, autism research, respiratory disease, and healthcare reform. Headlining the issue is a major review article, “Determinants of Autism Spectrum Disorder,” authored by researchers affiliated with the McCullough Foundation (@McCulloughFund) and led by Peter A. McCullough (@P_McCulloughMD), examining genetic, environmental, prenatal, and iatrogenic contributors to autism spectrum disorder. “One of the fundamental responsibilities of scientific publishing is to allow important questions to be examined openly and rigorously—even when those discussions are uncomfortable,” said Dr. Joseph Varon (@joevaron), Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Independent Medicine (@JIndepMed) and President of the Independent Medical Alliance. “The Journal of Independent Medicine exists to ensure that clinicians and researchers have a credible, double-blind peer-reviewed platform where scientific evidence can be debated transparently and without fear of institutional suppression.

As the journal enters its second year, it continues to expand its global reach and scholarly contributions, publishing work from clinicians, researchers, and scholars across multiple disciplines who are committed to rigorous methodology, open discourse, and patient-centered care. “As we enter the second year of the Journal of Independent Medicine, what encourages me most is the caliber of work being submitted and the growing number of physicians and researchers around the world who want to engage in serious scientific discussion,” said Joseph Varon (@joevaron), MD, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Independent Medicine and President of the Independent Medical Alliance. “For many years, some physicians felt they could not ask certain questions or publish certain findings. A scientific journal should be a place where evidence is examined, debated, and refined—not filtered through ideology. If medicine is to maintain its moral authority, science must come before advocacy, and evidence must come before conclusions.” The Journal of Independent Medicine (@JIndepMed) was launched to provide a rigorous, double-blind peer-reviewed platform free from pharmaceutical sponsorship and political influence. Each issue brings together research, clinical case reports, reviews, and ethical and policy discussions that reflect the complexity of modern medicine and the need for open scientific dialogue.
