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 😈

@401matthall Nah, he's too busy slurping down leftover yogurt he was gonna bring to a Super Bowl party as a beverage, after he consumed his meat and "ferments" (whatever those are). And yes, I'm not making any of that up

@jimthewhyguy @401matthall I wonder if he balances his humours with his homeopathy pills made from belladonna.

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

You know, repeatable and testable.
