NEW: For years, the #FDA website warned of products and remedies claiming to treat #autism that were being marketed deceptively and can be harmful.

Just a few:
•hyperbaric oxygen therapies
•chlorine dioxide
•raw camel milk.

Now, under RFK Jr, that advisory is gone.

Chlorine Dioxide, Raw Camel Milk: The FDA No Longer Warns Against These and Other Ineffective Autism Treatments

The FDA has taken down a webpage warning about therapies and products making “false claims” of treating autism. It’s part of a series of actions the agency has taken under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to discredit long-established science.

Ah, yes, raw camel milk. This therapy based on the incredibly low number of autism diagnoses in regions where raw camel milk is consumed by the young, in particular amongst young camel calves.

@401matthall @ProPublica Isn't that like avoiding eating dill pickles because everyone who's ever gotten cancer has eaten at least one in their lifetime?

Yes, sir. That'd be my take.

@401matthall OK for the last time: correlation does not mean causa ...

... ya know what, f*ck it, sure, go ahead. Drink camel milk while ingesting chlorine dioxide as you're getting chelation therapy just after your hyperbaric chamber session. Bottoms up, pal 😈

Nah, that process is _too_ close to the scientific method for him.

You know, repeatable and testable.

I have a family membner who I am just dicovering likes RFK. He stated that because he did pull ups "at his age" he might be right about the things he promotes.

I'm struggling with this. His mother, my aunt, would be very dissapointed.

@ProPublica Ah, yes, chlorine dioxide again. Perhaps this was the "bleach" that Trump believed could be injected / infused into the human body to cure COVID-19?

Can we not convince these MAGA fascists that injecting bleach is the way to purge the Woke from their systems?

@ProPublica as an autistic freediver with complex childhoodtraumas, I can tell you that to me personally this form of hyperbaric oxygentherapy does wonders. That being said, I don't see how someone that used to snort his cocaine of dirty toiletseats could make a functional minister of healthcare. Nor would I go anywhere near chlorinedioxide or raw camelmilk. But maybe that's my autism.

@ProPublica pues me parece genial. El dióxido de cloro es un maravilloso desinfectante y sirve contra algunas patologías usado con sentido común y no se puede patentar. La cámara hiperbarica se usa en Hospitales para detener artritis y otras patologías. Muy bien si ayuda a la gente que está harta de tanta medicación que en muchos casos hace más perjuicio que beneficio.

It still bewilders me that the guy who got brainworms from snorting cocaine off of toilets has the audacity to claim that WE, the autistics, are somehow the mentally ill ones.

Why do WE have to pay for HIS psychopathy?
